Watching the figure of this Ye Nuxia disappear into the rain and fog, Chen Ying couldn't help but sigh, this problem of cherishing words like gold is really getting more and more serious.

With a strange mood of "I am happy to see the old people, and I am not happy to see the old people", Chen Ying got into the carriage again.

The trail was not far from the school, and after about a moment, the car stopped again.

Chen Ying got out of the car, raised his eyes, and what caught his eye was a boulder.

The slightly white and gray stones, with no moss marks on them, seem to be scrubbed from time to time. And the words "Quancheng Girls' School is a shelter for women and children" written in green ink reflect the smoke and rain in the sky, and the light is scorching.

"The more I look at the plaque of our girls' school, the more beautiful it looks." Returning to his hometown, he seemed to be very happy to find the truth, and at this moment he was tilting his head to look at the big stone, and there was a little pride in his expression: "It's not that the maid boasts, the plaque of the Quancheng Academy is magnificent, and the maid looks at it like that, and it is not as good as our girls' school." ”

Chen Ying smiled lightly and said nothing, and then held her mouth to tease the truth: "When have you been to Quancheng Academy again?" Do you know where the gate of the academy opens? ”

The truth-seeking general raised his head: "Of course I know, open to the south." He stretched out another finger to point at Zhishi, and said with a smile: "Sister, this is me stupid again." Who doesn't know that this house is sitting north and facing south? The gate naturally faces south. ”

This was a show of his feet, and he smiled so hard that he couldn't stand up straight: "You haven't said a few words, and you can't get over it yourself." I knew that you hadn't been to the academy, and sure enough, you yourself said that it was blindfolded. ”

Thinking about it, this is really the case, I couldn't help blushing, stomping my feet, and making fun of her when I knew the truth, Chen Ying looked at it from the side, and bent her lips.

At this moment, a woman's voice suddenly sounded:

"May I ask this girl, this is the Quancheng Girls' School built by Miss Chen?"

Not a standard official dialect, with a strong Shandong accent.

Knowing the truth and seeking the truth immediately stopped, and Chen Ying also turned his head to look back.

More than ten steps away from them, there were two women, the first woman was dressed as a woman, wearing a bean green armor, green cloth head, eyebrows and eyes with neat energy, looking at their outfits, like the housekeeper mother of a large family.

The one who spoke just now was her.

Seeing Chen Ying looking over, she was busy with her blessing: "The slave maid is presumptuous, please forgive the girl." After speaking, he stepped forward and bowed again with a smile: "May I ask the girl, is this the girls' school opened by Miss Chen from the capital?" ”

"Exactly here." Chen Ying said, inadvertently, his eyes swept behind her.

There is also a woman behind the woman, her whole body is covered by the power fence, only the hat and skirt of the hydrated color Tianjing yarn can be seen, hanging down to the feet for a long time, and the corner of the hat and skirt is embroidered with a few poles of green bamboo, and the woman holds a moon-white embroidered pink lotus silk umbrella in her hand, standing in the sky and rain, like a painting.

Seeing Chen Ying's gaze sweeping, the woman immediately took half a step to the side, intentionally or unintentionally, and blocked her sight with a smiling face: "This girl, the slave dares to ask again, are you a student of this girls' school?" ”

With just one word, Chen Ying judged that she must not be a native of Jinan Mansion.

The girls' school only recruits civilians and does not accept noble girls, which is almost well known in Jinan. However, this woman mistakenly thought that Chen Ying was a student of a girls' school, which showed that she was from outside.

Chen Ying showed her usual smile: "I am the principal of this girls' school, my surname is Chen." ”

After a pause, he added: "I opened this girls' school." ”

Still upholding her straightforward attitude, she directly pointed out her identity, and asked the woman again: "I don't know who you two are?" What's going on here? ”

The woman seemed a little silly.

Although the words were in her ears and the words were clear, they could be put together in one place, but she felt a little incomprehensible, and when she heard what Chen Ying said, she blinked her eyes a few times, but she didn't have time to reply.

"Principal Chen, forgive me, we were abrupt." The woman behind her stepped forward, bent her knees slightly to Chen Ying, and when she opened her lips, she let out a sweet girlish voice: "Mother Liu didn't know that the noble person was here, so I will compensate you on her behalf." After speaking, he saluted again.

Chen Ying turned sideways to avoid it, and Liu's mother also woke up, her face turned red, she took a few steps back, respectfully took the umbrella in the woman's hand, leaned forward slightly, one hand naturally hung to the side, and her eyes were thirty degrees down.

With such good rules, this girl is only afraid of being born extraordinary.

Chen Ying's heart was worried, the girl had already stood up straight, and her voice was like singing: "The little girl's surname is Xue, her single name is Zhi, and she is the second in the family." The little girl came this time to look for her third sister in the family. Because I heard that she was now a guest at Principal Chen's place, the little girl was looking for her sister, and she came without posting in advance, which was rude for the little woman, and asked Principal Chen to forgive her sins. ”

Chen Ying's heart sank.

Surname Xue?

What is the relationship between this girl and Xue Rui?

Thinking of this, she also took two steps forward and asked in a harmonious voice: "May I ask if you are the master of Tai'an Prefecture's Tongzhi Xue Mansion?" ”

When Xue Zhi heard this, she raised her hand and lifted the hydrated veil, revealing a fair and beautiful face, and her cheeks were flushed with a light and tender redness: "Principal Chen of Jiao Pan Chen smiled, Master Xue is the father of the little girl." ”

It's really Xue Rui's sister!

Chen Ying was very surprised, but there was no show on her face, and she said with a smile: "It turned out to be Miss Xue's second, please enter the school to speak, Master Xue is in the school." ”

When Xue Zhi heard this, she seemed to be quite excited, her eyes were red for a while, and she thanked her again, helped Liu's mother's hand, and followed Chen Ying into the school gate.

Coincidentally, as soon as I stepped on the green vine veranda, I heard a chime sound, which was clear and long, and it was particularly tranquil to hear in the light rain.

"This is the bell for the end of class, I will call someone to invite Master Xue to come over." Chen Ying said to Xue Zhi, delayed her master and servant to sit in the flower hall, ordered someone to serve refreshments, and said a few words, but saw a woman walking slowly in the smoke and rain outside the window, it was Xue Rui.

The two have not seen each other for more than a year, and when they meet again, Chen Ying was shocked.

Xue Rui at this moment made her a little afraid to recognize her, and she couldn't help but look at it carefully.

Xue Rui wrote a moon-colored plain-faced horse-faced skirt and a moon-white blouse, with a head full of green silk only tied into a round bun at the back of her head, and a little green jade hairpin in her ears.

At this moment, she has a green silk umbrella in her hand, two black lacquer clogs under her feet, bright eyes and bright teeth, and fluttering clothes.

Chen Ying looked at her in surprise.

Xue Rui in front of her and the girl in her memory who bowed her head and shrunk her shoulders and didn't dare to look directly at anyone were like two people.

"Third sister!" Seeing the familiar figure from afar, Xue Zhi had already left her seat and got up, and ran to the door in a few steps, with tears in her eyes.

Xue Rui also saw her, smiled and beckoned to her, her steps were still unhurried, occasionally one or two students passed by, and saluted her, she stopped and bowed her head, and her demeanor was extremely calm.
