Chapter 442: A good deal
In the past, Yang Ling looked down on Lin Pei, but now he still can't look down on him, Qu Xiaobai thinks that a scholar like Lin Pei is a little mysterious, but on the whole, he didn't do anything bad, and his personality was quite likable, but she didn't hate him too much, but she felt that she couldn't see through this person.
But since Yang Ling didn't like it, she would naturally choose to stay away from him.
Yang Ling sent all the calligraphy and paintings to the warehouse, and let them rest together with the wood, gold, silver and jewelry.
When he came back, Qu Xiaobai discussed with him, Mu Nanyun's gift was just that, it was considered that he owed her, but this Lin Pei's, she didn't want to take his things for nothing, so she always had to give him some gifts back.
"Look back."
"Lin Pei sent some calligraphy and paintings, it can be said that he is very understanding, we don't have any treasures, it is better to give him some practical ones, Ling Zhixiang's wine can be sent to a car, newly cultivated vegetables can also be sent to a car, in addition, we also gave him some clothes in the workshop."
"Very good."
In order to please his man, Brother Xiaobai also tried his best.
The next day, Qu Xiaobai arranged for Lin Hutou to count the gifts, and in order to show her importance to the new master of the academy, she and Yang Ling went to the academy in person to send the gifts back. This also makes up for the lack of a heavy gift.
After breakfast, the two got into the car, Lin Hutou caught the car, followed by more than ten freight carriages, which can be regarded as a large convoy, two quarters of an hour later, the carriage stopped at the gate of the college, Yang Ling got out of the car first, stretched out his hand, and helped Qu Xiaobai, Qu Xiaobai stepped on the footstool, slowly got out of the car, and glanced at the four big characters on the lintel of the college: Lingyun Academy, raised his eyebrows: "This is Lin Pei's handwriting?" The handwriting is also good. ”
The gatehouse of the academy was also a retired soldier, disabled, and walked up with a limp, he had already seen Yang Ling and his wife once, so he recognized the two at a glance, and hurriedly saluted, with a sincere and grateful face: "Master, madam, are you here?" Come in. ”
Qu Xiaobai nodded: "Lao Ning, right?" Hello. ”
The porter's surname was Ning, he didn't expect Qu Xiaobai to even remember his name, and a smile bloomed on his face, "Hello madam." ”
He didn't know that although Qu Xiaobai couldn't be as memorable as Yang Ling, he was also very good at it, and she had a rough look at the personnel appointments in important positions in Zhuangzi, and she had all memorized them. Although the status of the gatehouse on this side of the academy is not high, the location is quite important, so she also looked at it and confirmed this person's character.
Yang Ling glanced at his legs and said, "It's cold, pay attention to keeping warm." ”
Lao Ning was so grateful that he almost burst into tears, "Yes, thank you for your concern." He didn't expect that looking at the cold and cold master, he would have such a gentle and amiable side.
Qu Xiaobai smiled at the corner of her mouth, and the only feeling was that her family Yang Ling was so good.
Lao Ning led people inside, went to the Academic Affairs Office, knocked on the door, and opened the door by a master in his thirties, who looked like Sven, Qu Xiaobai had not seen this master last time, and this master naturally had not seen them, but this master only glanced at the two of them, and said, "The two of them are Yang Ye and Mrs. Yang?" ”
Qu Xiaobai secretly poked and glanced at Yang Ling, there was no way, probably because Yang Ling's recognition was too high, and he had reached the point where he heard his face before seeing him.
She stood beside Yang Ling, like a bird, and didn't speak first.
Yang Ling nodded: "Are you Master Cen?" ”
What is the ...... To know or not to know? Qu Xiaobai looked at Yang Ling's eyes curiously.
Yang Ling looked at her gaze and smiled, "I've heard someone describe Master Cen's appearance, and I thought it was this one." ”
Master Cen was busy: "In Xia Cen Xi." Come in, two. ”
The sound of talking at the door had already alarmed inside, and Dean Tao and Lin Pei both came out, "Young Master Yang, Mrs. Yang." ”
"Master Yang, madam."
"Dean Tao, Mr. Lin, I took the liberty to visit and didn't delay your teaching, right?"
"No, no, this class is not our class." While inviting Yang Qu and the others inside, Dean Tao said: "Master Yang, madam, you are really capable, and you actually invited the champion to come to the academy, which has made us teachers happy until now." ”
Lin Pei said modestly: "Everyone is too popular, I am actually the same as everyone, I am teaching and educating people, and I am not as superior as everyone thinks." ”
Master Cen clenched his fists again: "Mr. Lin is really noble, you are so modest, how can we get along with ourselves?" ”
Yang Ling said: "Mr. Lin is a good friend of my husband and wife, everyone is at ease, don't be informal." ”
Friends? Qu Xiaobai couldn't help laughing in his heart. Okay, he said a friend is a friend.
Lin Pei didn't say anything to refute, with a seemingly sincere smile on his face, "That's exactly how it should be." ”
Qu Xiaobai didn't want to see them being hypocritical here, and said, "Mr. Lin, we brought you a gift, why don't you go and see the gift." ”
Walking out, Qu Xiaobai was very interested in Cen Xi and walked behind with him, "The last time I came, Master Cen was teaching, and I regretted it. ”
"I heard what Master Li said, dare to ask Madame, is there anything to look for?"
Qu Xiaobai waved his hand, "It's nothing, I just think your handwriting is good." My brother is about to get married, and I want to ask for a few of your ink treasures. ”
Master Cen looked suspicious, his eyes glanced at Lin Pei, Qu Xiaobai immediately understood what he meant, and smiled, "Mr. Lin's words are good, but calligraphy and painting are also a preference, I like the sharp atmosphere in Master Cen's calligraphy, Mr. Lin's, decent, a little less edges and corners." It's good, it's the best good, but it doesn't look imposing. ”
Lin Pei couldn't help but look back, she hurriedly haha: "I'm just a half-ass, nonsense, nonsense, don't take it seriously." ”
Lin Pei nodded: "That's right, my words are missing some edges and corners, Mrs. Yang has a lot of research on calligraphy and painting." ”
Qu Xiaobaixin said, you really will put gold on my face, and you are not afraid that I will not be able to bear it. She was about to refute, but Yang Ling spoke before her, and her tone was extremely light: "In the opinion of the woman in the child, don't take it to heart. Xiaobai, come here. ”
Qu Xiaobai obediently walked up to him, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "In front of all the masters, don't talk nonsense, let people laugh." Although it is a criticism, the pampering in the tone makes people sour.
Qu Xiaobai is as good as flowing: "Well, I know, I was wrong." ”
Yang Ling turned around and smiled at Master Cen: "Since Neizi said that he likes Master Cen's words, then it will trouble Master Cen." ”
He was cold, and it was rare to smile, this smile was like a spring breeze, even a big man like Master Cen was obsessed, and he replied busily: "Naturally, I am naturally willing to serve." ”
Qu Xiaobai smiled: "Then I'm not welcome, I'll send the content to be written to the academy another day." ”
As soon as Master Cen reacted, this was still a trick, he glanced at Lin Pei, and saw that there was no annoyance on his face, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
Qu Xiaobai noticed his eyes, and his heart felt a little light. It seems that not only people can't look good, but also words, she thought that people who could write like that should be very stylish, but they didn't want to be a sleek person.
However, it is okay to be sleek, after all, it is very difficult for people to live in the world, and they are just to live.
But she still likes people who are more straightforward.
Lin Hutou was directing people to unload things, and Yang Ling said: "The gifts that Mr. Lin sent to the Mansion yesterday, my wife liked them very much, and specially chose these things." She said that gold, silver, jewelry and other vulgar things were afraid that they would stain Mr. Lin's eyes, so she picked out some Ling Zhixiang wine, some vegetables cultivated in the warm house, and some clothes sewn in the workshop. Mr. Wanglin will not dislike it. ”
As he was talking, a subordinate accidentally knocked over a jar of wine, and the aroma of wine wafted out, and these literati immediately stretched their necks.
Literati, who doesn't like wine? Poetry and wine are not separated.
Such a good wine, one gift is a car, what a big deal!
Looking at the basket of vegetables again, they were all vegetables that they had never seen before, everyone's eyes lit up, and Yang Ling said: "Neizi has nothing to do, and he has researched these vegetables in the winter, and I gave them to Mr. Lin to try them, and also gave them to the gentlemen of the academy to try." As for clothing, in addition to Mr. Lin's, the gentlemen of the academy also have it. Please don't dislike the shallowness of gifts. ”
Most of the students accepted by Lingyun College are martyrs orphans, not only are the tuition fees free, sometimes they even have to subsidize their food and clothing, just before the winter, two sets of winter clothes have been handed out, and the gentlemen also have them.
Lin Pei smiled on his face, and his mother sold criticism in his heart, did he still have to thank his husband and wife for their thoughtfulness, everyone had gifts, and they didn't make him difficult to be a person in the academy?
He exchanged a box of precious calligraphy and paintings for a cart of wine and food, this is a deal...... Tsk, it's not cost-effective, it's actually cost-effective, even if Yang Qu and his wife don't return the gift, he can't say anything, but they returned a cart of good wine, a cart of good food, and all the clothes of the four seasons, he was silent for a moment, and sincerely thanked: "Thank you Gongzi Yang, thank you Mrs. Yang." ”
Yang Ling said: "You're welcome, it is an honor for Mr. Lin to come to the academy, if Mr. Lin needs anything in the future, just say hello." ”
Tao Yu looked at the several carriages behind him, and said curiously: "Master Yang, madam, the carriage behind this is ...... Is it also a gift for Mr. Lin? ”
"No, that's for the Academy, stoves and fuel. Lao Ning, please open the gate and drive the carriage in. ”
Lin Pei's eyes lit up when he heard the stove and fuel. Yang Qu and the others caught a glimpse of the corner of their eyes, and they couldn't help but purse the corners of their mouths.
Lao Ning opened the door, the coachmen drove the carriage, and Yuguan entered the school, Lin Pei approached Yang Lingqu Xiaobai, and couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, "Young Master Yang, Mrs. Yang, is this the stone burned in the vegetable house?" ”
