The scenery of Qingfeng Mountain is beautiful, it was originally a scene outside the city of Suzhou, and after the Lu family learned to build on it, a lot of flowers and trees were planted along the mountain road, the scenery was better, and there were often people who went up the mountain to play.

Because Qingfeng Mountain is not private, so it is not forbidden for tourists to go up the mountain, Lin Qingwan wanted to see the environment of the Lu family school with her own eyes, and after returning to the courtyard, she found a time to go up the mountain in a clear and sunny manner.

There is a car road directly to the mountain on Qingfeng Mountain, but Lin Qingwan has always felt that climbing the mountain has to rely on her feet to be interesting, so she got off the carriage at the foot of the mountain.

The trail is not steep, but it is a little sloping, so she doesn't have to work hard, and it's fun to enjoy the scenery while walking.

"This road was also built by the Lu family?" Lin Qingwan nodded at the road under her feet and said with a smile: "It's smoother than the official road." ”

Lin An, who came to protect Lin Qingwan, bowed down and said: "It was the rich squires of Suzhou who paid for the repair together, and our Lin family also contributed some of the money back then, but this road is indeed maintained by the Lu family now." ”

"Talent is rare, this is to keep Mr. Lu."

"But no, this road is repaired, and it is much easier to get in and out, and Mr. Lu also wrote a poem to sigh. Auntie, the front is the Lu family. Lin An pointed to the faint red tile and white wall in front of him and said: "It was the mountainside, there was a very large flat place there, and Mr. Lu's grass house was built there. ”

But in fact, it is not that big, at least from the outside, it looks much smaller than the Lin family's other courtyard, but it is more than enough to teach dozens of students.

Lin Qingwan walked to the door of the Lu family's school, the door was open, there was not even a gatekeeper, there was a large open space on the left and right, and now there were several carriages parked on it, and the coachmen were sitting in the shade of the trees next to them to enjoy the shade, and they saw a group of girls and girls hugging Lin Qingwan and climbed up the mountain and immediately got up.

Since they hadn't seen Lin Qingwan before, they didn't dare to rush forward, but just got out of the way and looked at Lin Qingwan cautiously.

Lin An obediently stepped forward to greet them, and inquired about some information by the way, for example, where is the gate of the Lu Girls' School?

The coachmen didn't dare to look at Lin Qingwan, and only pointed to the road where the gate turned over: "After the corner, there is the gate of the women's school, which is newly opened." ”

Lin Qingwan looked over, and sure enough, she saw a path on the right hand, maybe because it was newly opened, the weeds on the side of the road had not been cleared, and it was hidden behind the wall, she almost didn't notice it.

Lin Qingwan turned around and found that the door was behind the corner, and a vacant lot was roughly sorted out in front of the door, which should also be a parking lot.

It's just that this clearing is a little smaller, and a little further out is the cliff, but there are lush vegetation there, and it is not terrible to look at.

Lin Qingwan walked there and looked out, and happened to see their family in Juetian at the foot of Qingfeng Mountain, and someone was watering the newly planted fruit trees in the field, and the corners of her mouth curled slightly: "It's a good place." ”

Lin Qingwan turned her head to look at the door of the Lu Girls' School, and did not rush in, but asked Bai Mei to go in and hand over a post, "If there is someone else, give him the post, if there is no one, come out, we will come back another day." ”

"Yes."

Bai Mei took the post and entered the door.

"Grandma, do you want to move a stool?"

"Stand, I'm not that squeamish." Lin Qingwan pointed to a protruding stone next to him and said, "A small pavilion should be built here, which can not only give people a rest, but also see the scenery under the mountain." ”

"It's a pity that there is no good scenery at the bottom of the mountain." A voice interjected.

Lin Qingwan immediately turned around, and saw a woman in a red butterfly dress looking at her with a smile, the other party looked at her in her early thirties, and she was a few years younger with a smile, she looked Lin Qingwan up and down, and then curtstoed and said, "The virtuous lady of the Shi family visits the county lord of Qingwan." ”

Lin Qingwan hurriedly stepped forward to support her, "Mrs. Shi doesn't have to be polite, Qingwan came rashly, and there is a lot of disturbance." ”

This is Shi Hui's cousin, but Lin Qingwan didn't expect her to be such a gorgeous woman.

"Even if the county lord doesn't come, Xianniang will come to the door in a few days to ask for a meeting, and the county lord is willing to come today, or Xianniang's blessing."

Lin Qingwan was a little confused, "Mrs. Shi has something to do with Qingwan?" ”

"There's something I want to ask the county lord," Shi Xian said sideways: "The county lord will come in first, we have something to say." ”

"Okay." Lin Qingwan followed Shi Xian in, and the two of them were equals, well, because Lin Jiang and Lu Su were the same generation.

Lin Qingwan walked in and stroked the relationship between them, and after all, the Lin family and the Lu family really had something to do with each other.

Lin Jiang studied under Lu Yang, and Lu Yang and Lu Su are both descendants of the Fan Yang Lu clan, but the two branches are a little far apart.

The branch where Lu Yang is located is now resident in the capital, while Lu Su's branch is in Suzhou, but the two of them are still uncles and nephews, and the two of them are different from the idle Lu clan who came to the capital, they have a family tree to follow, and they are really from the same ancestor.

Therefore, Lin Jiang is considered to be Uncle Lu Su's apprentice, and the two are of the same generation, so naturally Lin Qingwan and Lu Su's wife and sister are also of the same generation.

Since it was a fellowship with peers, Lin Qingwan was even more open, and after entering the door, she began to look at the layout inside.

When Shi Xian saw this, he also slowed down, and introduced Lin Qingwan: "This is a place for female students, and the corner gate from the home school side was originally closed, and they will enter and exit through this gate in the future." ”

She pointed to a row of houses in front of her and introduced them one by one, "That's the classroom, in addition to poetry and books, piano, chess, painting, and female red are also taught." ”

Lin Qingwan stopped and asked, "How many gentlemen did Mrs. Shi invite?" ”

Shi Xian said with a smile: "In addition to me and my sister-in-law, there is also the second lady of the Lu family. ”

"How many students have you received so far?"

"There are already seven."

"How many students does Madame Shi plan to take?"

Shi Xian also reacted, Lin Qingwan was only afraid that she was not coming to see her, but to come to see the female student, the smile on her face was more sincere, and she said softly: "I expect to accept twenty students, and the three of us will teach, and no matter how many there are, I can't take care of them." ”

Lin Qingwan bowed her head, this era pursues elite education, and some teachers only take three or five students at a time, and they can't take care of it if they have more.

Therefore, the relationship between teachers and students in this era is very close, analogous to father and son.

Seeing that Lin Qingwan was full of interest, Shi Xian changed his mind, and instead of leading her to the flower hall, he took her to walk around the entire female school, and went to the small garden at the back for a swim.

In fact, it is to split the Lu family study into two, the long row in the south is the Lu family study, and the long row in the north is the female study, but the south side is larger, and there is an additional martial arts field.

Shi Xian saw that Lin Qingwan was satisfied, so he pondered and asked, "Does the county lord want to send someone to study at the female school?" ”

Shi Xian wondered if Lin Qingwan wanted to study, and compared to her, she had also heard of her talent, although no one named her the first talented woman in Jiangnan, but everyone tacitly accepted that Lin Qingwan's talent was unsurpassed among Jiangnan women.

And she is young, so it is normal for her to want to study at this time.

Lin Qingwan thought for a while and said: "I have a niece who is smart and sensitive, originally we kept filial piety, and we should have invited a gentleman for her at home, but now it is difficult to invite a good gentleman, I heard that Mrs. Shi taught the Lu family and Shi's girls in the Lu family's school, so I took a look with a cheeky face, maybe Mrs. Shi can also accept my niece." ”

Shi Xian then remembered that Lin Qingwan also had a niece, Lin Jiang's daughter was naturally not bad, and she didn't mention that she would see the child before making a decision, but asked her, "Doesn't the county lord mind my reputation?" ”

Lin Qingwan tilted her head, "Does Mrs. Shi have any bad reputation?" ”

The corners of Shi Xian's mouth curled, and he said sarcastically: "I am angry and rigid, lacking the soft beauty of a woman, and some people even say that I am immoral and contrary to human ethics." ”

"The person who said this must be a short-sighted and narrow-minded person with little ability, and they should be allowed to swallow the "Book of Rites" and "The Legend of the Daughters" alive."

Shi Xian's eyes lit up, and he said with a heavy chin: "Next time the concubine body will let them try." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, and couldn't help but look up and laugh heartily.

Shi Xian said: "The county lord is really unexpected, I thought that the county lord would not be able to get used to me, and I was afraid that the county lord would knock me out of the door if I came to the door?" ”

Lin Qingwan sat cross-legged on the seat and asked with a smile, "How could Mrs. Shi think so?" ”

Not to mention her, even Sister Wan is here, I'm afraid that she will become friends with Shi Xian.

Shi Xian paused before saying, "After all, there is too much difference between my Hufu and the county lord's watchman. ”

Lin Qingwan smiled slightly, looked down at the teacup in her hand, remembered Sister Wan'er's sorrow, and said lightly: "This is different, but the affection is shallow, and the love and hate are different." ”

Shi Xian looked at Lin Qingwan in surprise, hesitated for a moment and then persuaded: "County Lord, time can dilute everything, maybe you will meet better people in the future, why do you have to bind yourself so early?" ”

Lin Qingwan shook her head slightly, what's the point of saying this now, the two people who love each other are already dead, maybe the two of them have already held hands and gone to reincarnate at this time, and now Mrs. Shi's persuasion Sister Wan will not hear it.

Moreover, who can guarantee that Sister Wan will be happy after starting again?

She doesn't have the memory of Sister Wan'er, but she knows all the stories of her and Xie Erlang, they grew up together since childhood, childhood sweethearts, and they have regarded each other as their lifelong lovers since a long, long time ago, it is her, this person who is used to seeing the separation and union does not dare to say that Sister Wan will be able to get better feelings than this in the future.

Lin Qingwan was reluctant to continue this topic, "Mrs. Shi said that she was going to see me, but I don't know why. ”

Shi Xian saw that she didn't want to talk more, but her expression was firm, obviously not changing her original intention, and at the same time she felt regret and some admiration, so she followed her words and said, "There is something to ask the county lord." ”

Shi Xian said: "I want to buy a piece of land with the county lord to build a house." ”

"Why, doesn't Madame Shi live here?"

Shi Xian said with a smile: "It's okay for me to live here, but my children are with me, and it's a little inconvenient to live in a home school, so I want to build a courtyard at the bottom of the mountain to live, but the people in the village who are willing to sell the land have sold the land to the Zhao family a few years ago, and now I want to buy it, and the villagers will not sell it anyway." ”
