Chapter 060: Qingfeng Academy
After a few days of getting along, Qi Xuan and Zhilan sisters became a pair of handkerchiefs. The two are inseparable wherever they go, followed by Zhilan's little heel to watch the wind, and Zhan Shaofeng who helplessly hugged him.
This Qi Xuan is a copy of Aunt Du, a neat and cheerful person who was born. From her mouth, Zhilan learned that her father Qi Hao was a silk merchant who ran the largest silk villages in Hangzhou, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he was rich. Qi Xuan also has two elder brothers, the eldest is sixteen years old and is named Qi Yu, and the younger one is just thirteen and is named Qi Han. The two younger ones were born to Aunt Du, but the eldest son Qi Yu was born to an aunt. Zhilan has been here for so many days and has never seen that aunt.
Qi Yu has already started to manage the family business with his father, but Qi Han and Qi Xuan are still studying. Speaking of this study, Zhilan couldn't help but have a headache.
Qi Han and Qi Xuan, two siblings, studied in a academy called "Qingfeng Academy". I heard that this academy was funded by several large merchants in Hangzhou, and Qi Xuan's father was one of the sponsors. Qingfeng Academy is divided into two houses, men's and women's, and Qi Xuan studied in the women's college. A few days ago, the husband of the women's hospital had something to do at home, so he gave them a few days off. Seeing that school was about to restart in the next few days, Qi Xuan insisted on pulling Zhilan to accompany her. Zhilan is used to being free and loose, and naturally she is unwilling to go with her. But she didn't know how to reject Qi Xuan's kind invitation, and only prevaricated that her parents didn't agree, and it could be delayed for a day.
It was a rainy day, and it was not a good day to go out. But Aunt Du said that the charm of West Lake is more beautiful in the rain, and suggested that everyone go to watch it together. So Lin Qi's two families stepped on the drizzle and went to the shore of the West Lake.
Zhilan thinks that Aunt Du is indeed reasonable. At this time, looking from the embankment, I saw that the water vapor on the West Lake was thick, the mist was shrouded, and only a shadow was left in the mountains in the distance. The mountains and rivers are naturally blended together, and there is a hazy beauty. The rain sometimes carries gusts of autumn wind, blowing the residual lotus in the lake gently swaying. Seeing this situation, Zhilan remembered Li Shangyin's sentence "Leave the residual lotus to listen to the sound of the rain", and couldn't help but turn her ears to listen to the sound of the rain hitting the lotus leaves. At this time, she heard Qi Xuan shouting behind her: "Aunt Han-tomorrow our academy will start classes, can you let Sister Lan'er go with you?" ”
Zhilan hurriedly turned around and wanted to make a look, but saw that Mrs. Lin had already nodded and happily agreed to Qi Xuan. Zhilan, who was angry, couldn't help but stomp her feet, but splashed Zhan Shaofeng's muddy water. Zhilan handed the handkerchief over in a panic, but when she looked up, she bumped into a smile hidden between her father's eyebrows. When he was puzzled, he heard Lin Mubai say loudly: "Your sister Lan'er has always wanted to go to the academy. The husband she had invited for her at home in the past had all driven her away, just so that she could go to the academy to study. Xuan'er, you are really my Lan'er's confidant! Zhilan had already received several rolls of the eyes as he spoke.
"Really?" Qi Xuan ran up excitedly and pulled Zhilan and said, "Lan'er, then it's decided!" ”
Zhilan smiled dryly, not knowing what to say. Qi Xuan only said yes, and she was so excited that two red clouds immediately floated on her little face, which was very cute.
After returning from West Lake, Zhilan wanted to pretend to be sick to escape the incident, anyway, she could easily make herself get a cold or something with a little trick. But when she thought of Qi Xuan's cute smile, Zhilan felt a little soft-hearted. After thinking about it, I compromised, and I thought it was better to see something new.
The next day, Zhan Shaofeng escorted the two little sisters into the carriage and rushed to Qingfeng Academy, but Qi Han took another car and went in the opposite direction. Seeing Zhilan's doubts, Qi Xuan explained: "Although both the men's and women's academies are called Qingfeng Academy, in order to avoid suspicion, the men's and women's academies are located at opposite ends of Hangzhou City and are not in the same place. Only then did Zhilan understand, thinking to herself how strict the rules of the academy that could even be considered were there.
In Zhilan's many doubts, Qingfeng Academy arrived. After getting out of the car, Zhilan said to Zhan Shaofeng: "Brother Feng, go back first, and come back when it's time to get out of school." Zhan Shaofeng nodded, and watched them enter the academy gate before leaving.
As soon as she entered the gate of the academy, Zhilan saw a shadow wall with the words "With the beads and the bi, the bright moon and the breeze". There are also several pots of Hangzhou chrysanthemum in front of the shadow wall, which looks clean and elegant. Zhilan suddenly had a good impression of this academy. Bypassing the shadow wall, the view suddenly opens up. The pavilions, pavilions, verandahs and paths in the park are in full view, and the typical Jiangnan garden characteristics are really beautiful. At this time, Zhilan was already full of joy, and her previous reluctance had long since disappeared.
Qi Xuan pulled Zhilan through the long pavilion and stopped in front of a lobby. Before I could go in, I heard the chatter of girls inside. As soon as they entered, a pretty little girl with pigtails stepped forward and blindfolded Qi Xuan and said, "Hehe-hee-guess which one I am?" ”
I only heard Qi Xuan pick off her hand nonchalantly and said, "Zhan Qingqing, you have this trick every time, can't you change it to a fresh one?" Then he turned his head and looked at the little girl proudly.
At this time, he saw that Zhan Qingqing had already shifted his attention, and a pair of big eyes swept around Zhilan's body, and asked timidly, "May I ask if your surname is Zhan?" ”
Zhilan was stunned by this clueless question, and replied, "No, my surname is Lin." ”
"Oh......" The little girl drooped her head in disappointment, and the injured look made Zhilan's heart suddenly become so soft, and she wished that her surname was Zhan.
Qi Xuan interjected: "Don't pay attention to her, she asks everyone if their surname is Zhan." That's what she asked me. ”
"Oh?" Zhilan was even more surprised.
I saw Zhan Qingqing pouting and retorting: "It's not a grin!" I only ask when I see someone I like - aren't people allowed to have a sister or sister? After that, he pulled Zhilan to ask long and short questions, and quickly turned out the genealogy of their Lin family, in order to find the possibility that the two were distant relatives, until the female gentleman came.
Zhilan finally breathed a sigh of relief, she had never been so happy about Mr. Arrival's arrival as she was now.
