On the second day, the academic lecture hall was held as scheduled, the patio had already been arranged, the tea and pastries were all from the barilla, the tables, chairs, benches and the lecture podium were neatly placed on the lawn, and there were some rare varieties on the rockery that could not be seen on weekdays. Every single one of them is stunning.

The owner of the Manxing Pavilion walked down the stairs slowly accompanied by Lin Dongyue, the magistrate of Huixian County. Sitting on the circle chair of Huanghuali, he shook the folding fan in his hand, and slowly began to tell the history of Qingguo.

There were more than a hundred or so students in the courtyard, and everyone was looking for people they knew each other to talk to, and when the master of the Manxing Pavilion spoke, he stopped talking. On the contrary, the students of Huicheng University sat together, gossiping all over the world. Ruan Aoxing didn't have any acquaintances, but seeing them chatting like this, he felt that it was too disrespectful to the old man.

In fact, this can't be blamed for Ruan Aoxing's expectations, originally this lecture was not his business as a full-star pavilion owner, and he didn't plan to talk about anything, but he didn't come out for a long time to relieve his boredom, and Lin Dongyue just wanted to mention the name of Huicheng Academy in the name of this hall owner, but he didn't expect that this hall owner really found Ruan Aoxing who was focused on listening to him from the realm of chatting everywhere below.

Ruan Aoxing sat upright, his eyes staring directly at the podium. But what I heard was something else. There are also students from Shangzhen in Huicheng Academy, who are talking about Shang Ting, who married into the Wang family but called herself Mrs. Shang.

The level of surprise in everyone's tone actually exceeded the level of seeing the only full-star hall master in the Imperial Academy, which made Ruan Aoxing feel a little funny, the old man looked fairy-like, and he didn't have the posture of an old man in his sixties at all. On the contrary, it is more chic and elegant than these young men.

He couldn't help laughing, at this time, the old hall owner was talking about the fact that there was no longer a seat to guide him for so many years, and he was worried about the future of Qingguo, seeing that the young man smiled, and the hand holding the folding fan tightened a little, thinking that he must interrogate him later.

Lin Wenhai sat at the back, and naturally heard the news from Mrs. Shang, and he was also extremely shocked, Mrs. Shang was actually pregnant!

Welcome to welcome guests today also ushered in a very important guest, Xiliang hurried from the business town with a thank you gift to welcome the guests, accompanied by only a coachman and a mother-in-law. This mother-in-law has been serving by Mrs. Shang's side since she was a child, and she can be regarded as the number one person in the eyes of her subordinates. This time, I was also ordered to come to thank you, which also shows that Mrs. Shang attaches great importance to Xiaobai.

Xiaobai had just sent off a wave of guests, sitting in the hall bored, she hadn't finished reading Luo Luo's letter, and was about to take it out to take a look, when the familiar Xiliang stepped in the door.

The two exchanged a few words, and Xiaobai made a pot of tea for everyone to talk.

"This is Aunt Mei in front of Madame, who watched Madame grow up." Xiliang's words point out the identity of this mother-in-law, in a big family, the people who have followed the master since childhood naturally cannot be ignored. Xiaobai smiled politely and called Aunt Mei. I heard Xiliang say again: "This time, Mrs. specially sent Aunt Mei to give a thank you gift, and I just led the way." ”

"Thank you? Thank me for what? "Xiaobai doesn't care who is the main one to give gifts, it's a battle in their high gates, and it has nothing to do with her." It's just a few jars of wine, if Madame likes it, what do you want to thank me? ”

"Little white girl, you have really done a great good deed, you are even more divine than the goddess of mercy." Mrs. Mei has a very good impression of Xiaobai, as long as she is helpful to Mrs. Shang, she has a good image. "Your hawthorn wine is simply a god, it is more effective than the medicine prescribed by those doctors in Xiyue City, and if these two jars go down, our wife will be pregnant."

Xiliang was stunned for a while, Aunt Mei spoke very directly, this headless and brainless words, she was blinded, Xiaobai didn't know if she understood.

Xiaobai was indeed a little confused, but in an instant, among the merchants, there were many rumors about Mrs. Shang, and no heir was one of them, and no one could tell why there was no heir.

She laughed and said, "It's good to be able to help Madame, but I don't dare to be greedy, I'm afraid that I will have it last time I passed by, and the hawthorn wine is sweet and sour and delicious, which just suits Madame's appetite." It's even if my wine wasn't in vain. Thank you, Aunt Mei, in the future, the little master will be born, just remember to bring him to me to cheer up. ”

Mrs. Mei smiled at what she said, and Xiliang was also happy in her heart, and secretly said that she was worthy of doing business, and her words were very measured. The folds on Mrs. Mei's face couldn't be flattened, "Cheng Xiaobai girl's auspicious words, I will definitely come to cheer in the future." But the thank you gift has to be received, and every family that the lady knows has given it, and I can't pull you. ”

"Yes, Xiaobai, you can take it, this is something that Madame specially asked someone to bring back from Xiyue City." Kira took Xiaobai's hand, smiled sweetly, and beckoned the coachman to bring things in.

Mrs. Mei took a sip of tea, got up and went out to help, and Xiliang told Xiaobai about those things one by one.

"This is Weiyang Jin's silk satin this summer, one for each of the seven colors, which is specially ordered for you by Mrs.

"This is the Xia family's Pisces Chuntang Dew, this year the Xia family winery has made ten altars, and Mrs. has ordered three altars, all here."

"This is a cake gift box of wagashi, just from Yaxian County."

"This is a half-cooked dish from Shanti Kitchen, you just need to go back to the pot and heat it up."

"Here are a few of our embroidered handkerchiefs, thank you. Maybe you don't know how heavy this is, but for us, it's very heavy. ”

"The most important thing is one." Kira brought a rattan basket over, "Red eggs." "Each one has a smiling hi-word paper cut on it." A hundred in total. ”

"Alright. The gift has also been delivered, let's hurry back, Madame is waiting for the letter. Mrs. Mei said.

"Let's go? It's almost noon, and you guys stay for dinner before leaving? ”

"No, Madame can't do without Aunt Mei, we have to go back quickly." Xiliang declined Xiaobai.

"It's too rushed, you guys wait." Xiaobai hurriedly ran back to the kitchen, took out a food box and put some snacks and snacks, and took out a few bamboo tubes containing mountain spring water. "This is mountain spring water, it's best to drink it on such a hot day, I made this thing myself, you have to work for half a day, if you're hungry, feel free to eat some."

Seeing off the two, Xiaobai looked at the things on the table and sighed.

Weiyang Jin and Xiajia Liquor Workshop in Xiyue City, Heguozi and Xiangti Kitchen in Yaxian County, these four names resounded in Qingguo, and the people who came and went were either rich or expensive, how much of a dilemma did she solve for Mrs. Shang? How did you get such a reward?

With a slight flash of her right hand, she received all the things in her bag, she knew that the wooden box with the handkerchief was too big, and there must be something else in it, but she didn't want to see it.

"Xiaobai! Take away a senior happy one, hurry up! There was a voice at the door, and Xiaobai said loudly, what should I do, what should I do.

.....

In a side hall of Wenying Pavilion, after lunch, Ruan Aoxing was sitting here alone listening to the teachings, and the master of the Manxing Pavilion at the top had already spoken for almost an hour, and he didn't even drink saliva. Although Ruan Aoxing looks energetic on the surface, he is really about to fall asleep.

The lecture was over in two hours, and the students of each family had already left after the snacks, but the old man left him alone, saying that there was no one to accompany him to lunch, so he had to take him with him. After eating, I still have to drink tea, and this cup of tea has been drunk until now.

"What do you think?" The old man of the hall owner suddenly asked a question, and Ruan Aoxing was confused.

"The students thought that what the teacher said was very reasonable." Actually, he wasn't listening at all.

"I really didn't expect that after nearly fifty years in the Star Pavilion, someone would finally agree with my opinion. You're really a good seedling, it's a pity that you met me too late. Otherwise, this term of seat guidance will definitely be you, since you agree with my reasoning, work hard, the next time you meet in the Imperial Palace, no matter what the ranking, come directly to the Manxing Pavilion, I will report to the emperor, finally someone can take my place, and I can retire. ”

"Yes, yes。。。。。 What the? Ruan Aoxing was hit like a thunderbolt.

"Don't be too happy, I also understand your situation, although you have been in Haixing Academy for so many years, you can be regarded as the best, but you are still a little weaker than Xiyue and Xincheng, although the owner of this hall must have the top ten people in the big test, but with my guarantee, the emperor will definitely agree."

"I didn't agree, I didn't listen to what you just said." Ruan Aoxing was anxious, and rushed to the front of the first case to hurriedly defend, but the old man who was the owner of the hall seemed to hear nothing for a moment. Turned around and walked out of the side door, leaving a small boy to step forward to stop Ruan Aoxing.

"Young Master Ruan, Mr. loves to drink, remember to bring some when you try it." The expression of the child and the old man of the hall owner is the same, and it seems to be playful, but in fact it is the most serious. Ruan Aoxing was a little intimidated.

The flowers outside the door waited and waited, and when Ruan Aoxing came out, he was inevitably a little anxious, and just about to go in to ask, he saw Ayu leading a small servant over.

"Sister Flower, Madame has something to say." Ayu pushed the little guy out.

The little guy saluted and said, "The little one is the person next to the master... ”

"Nonsense!" Hua Hua denied it, "I know all the people around the master, and I have never seen you." ”

The little girl smiled: "Madame's letter is not fake. ”

Hua Hua took the envelope suspiciously, opened it and looked at it, her face changed, "Why do you suddenly want to go back to Xiyue City?" ”

"I don't know about the little one, but Madame has already prepared everything, so I will go immediately, and I don't have to go back to Xingyun Mansion."

The carriage flew in one direction at a speed, and Ruan Aoxing still wanted to see his father and mother as soon as possible, he felt that he was trapped. What the hell is going on?
