"I've heard for a long time that Mr. took in a female student, and I finally saw it today! Let Yuan take a good look. ”

Mr. can accept him as a student, Yuan Xiuhe knows that it must not be a bad one.

But after all, it's a woman, and I'm always a little curious.

"Chu Xue has seen Senior Brother!"

Chu Xue greeted the other party and gave the other party a standard scholarly salute, so that Yuan Xiuhe had no choice but to stop and return the salute, this was the first time that a woman had performed this kind of salute, but he didn't feel abrupt.

"It's been a long journey, come in and sit, don't pay attention to these politenesses first."

Yuan Xiuhe got up and smiled and led Chu Xue in to sit down and sit cross-legged on the ground.

"Senior brother, passing by here, come and see Senior Brother, I hope I didn't disturb Senior Brother."

The first snow fell and sat down generously, and Jinxiu also sat down, and the peaches and the others were waiting outside the door.

"What bothers or not, if you pass by here and don't come, I will pick and choose." After Yuan Xiuhe finished speaking, he beckoned the scholar to tea, remembered something and hurriedly asked, "You haven't eaten yet, look at me!" Bamboo, go and get some food ready in the kitchen. ”

"Don't be busy, senior brother, I've already eaten when I stopped on the way."

Chu Xue is also the first time to see Yuan Xiuhe, although they are from the same class, they are inevitably unfamiliar, and they don't have much to say for a while.

As if to see Chu Xue's thoughts, Yuan Xiuhe smiled and said: "It's rare to come here, stay here for a few days, rest assured, our academy also entertains the ladies of Yaxiangju, you will follow me over in a while, go to meet my wife and your sisters." ”

Yuan Xiu and Ben also thought that this little junior sister came to be entertained by his wife, and he was not suitable for a man's family.

Hey, looking at it like this, it's also generous, but he hasn't seen anything special for a while, but he believes that Mr. has a vision and personality, and if he is willing to accept her as a student, she must have her superiority.

"In this way, the first snow is welcome, and then you will have to disturb the lady and sisters, by the way, senior brother, this is Jinxiu, the daughter of the head of the Jing and Jin family, follow me to the northwest this time."

The daughter of the head of the Jin family?

Although in this place outside the world, the two ears don't hear the things outside the window, but Jing and the Jin family Yuan Xiuhe still know very well.

"It turned out to be Miss Jinjia, it's rude!"

"Jinxiu has seen Dean Yuan, and Tang suddenly disturbed." Jinxiu got up and saluted in response, and it was also atmospheric to treat people and things.

Yuan Xiuhe responded with a smile, secretly surprised in his heart, what did the daughter of the head of the Jin family mean by following her to the northwest?

This place is far away from the capital, Yuan Xiuhe is dedicated to learning, and he really doesn't know much about what happens outside, especially the short things in these parents, and he didn't mention these in the letter, so Yuan Xiuhe didn't know the subtleties of many things.

"By the way, Chu Xue, why did you go to the northwest this time?"

Mr. didn't seem to say anything in the letter, only said that his little junior sister would pass by here on this trip to the northwest and might come back to sit.

"Back to Senior Brother, Chu Xue went to the northwest this time to take a look and see if there was any business to do." Chu Xue thought that the other party knew about her business.

"Doing business?"

Obviously, Yuan Xiuhe couldn't react a little.

I don't know? Didn't Mr. say? Chu Xue looked at the other party's reaction, and was a little confused about how to explain it for a while.

"Yes, Chu Xue is no better than Senior Brother and Senior Brother Mei, he is a secular person who likes to do some business and earn some silver..."

If you don't study well, it seems to be a bit insulting to Mr.'s statement.

“… Very good... Pretty good. Yuan Xiuhe didn't know how to take it, so he could only say that it was good.

Trade? A woman doing business? Isn't this a fool? He also went to the northwest of this war-torn place to do business, which... Is it really the little sister that Mr. received?

It's a little different from what I imagined.

Scholar and businessman, Yuan Xiuhe couldn't turn around for a while.

"Senior brother, you are also about the attack on Dayuan by Bolo, this is the northwest hinterland, Chu Xue just inquired with you, how is the war now?"

Chu Xue thought that this senior brother must be better informed than her, after all, the war took place in the northwest.

I just talked about business, and now I asked about the war, this little junior sister...

"Oh, you have to ask about the war, hey, after Polo occupied the Fengdu City, it stopped for about eleven or twelve days, and it is estimated that the troops may have been mobilized in the past few days, the specific situation is difficult to say, I hope that my Dayuan soldiers can resist foreign enemies and hold the territory of Dayuan!"

Yuan Xiuhe shook his head after speaking, he told her what to do with this.

"Yes, the soldiers will definitely fight hard against the enemy, and the grain, grass and military supplies escorted by the imperial court should be about to arrive, after I set off for the northwest, I heard that the imperial court sent Prince Ying and Senior Brother Mei to the northwest, the marching speed is fast, it is estimated that it will be there in about ten days."

"Really? Shi Jiu also came to the northwest? Didn't he enter the court as an official, a military attaché? "Yuan Xiuhe is a conditioned reflex, and civilian officials really rarely go to the battlefield.

"Senior brother is the head of the household, the youngest squire in the history of our Dayuan, this time with Prince Ying's expedition, it should be the position of a military advisor, senior brother Wen Tao is strategic, smart and competent."

Strategist? Yuan Xiuhe nodded while listening, "That's right, Shi Jiu must be competent, but I didn't expect the imperial court to send Prince Ying to lead the troops to recruit in person." ”

"Senior brother also knows about this Prince Ying?" This prince has disappeared from everyone's sight for twenty years, and it seems that there are still people who know and remember.

"Naturally, Prince Ying is one of the more outstanding princes of the same generation, he once came to our academy once, and he lived here for half a month, read through the military books, can be literate and martial, Mr. has said that he is a general."

In this way, the Holy One is not a random choice, but a deliberate one, so it is good.

"It turns out that Prince Ying has also been here, so to speak, the senior brother still knows the other party, I hope he is really a general, can lead our Dayuan soldiers to hold the territory and expel the enemy soldiers, originally this time the saint was to be recruited in person, but unfortunately the saint suddenly fell seriously ill, so he sent Prince Ying."

"Pro-enlisted? Seriously ill? ”

Although Yuan Xiuhe is a scholar and a teacher, he rarely comes into contact with these political affairs, but he has poetry and books in his belly, and he can understand it at one point, and he can quickly think of some things when he sees the big from the small, and his expression is also serious and dignified.

Since he said it, Chu Xue also said a few more words along the way, the academy is in the northwest, and it is also good for the senior brother to know more about the current situation, after all, he is the dean, this is his hard work and foundation, if the northwest can't stand it, he must also make plans as soon as possible.

"Internal and external troubles! Da Yuan is really in trouble, but it's a pity that Yuan is a scholar, and he can't go into battle to kill the enemy to defend his family and country. ”

"Since ancient times, the country of Anbang and Wuding, the senior brother doesn't have to mind." Chu Xue didn't know what to say, even if he couldn't go into battle to kill the enemy, he also pretended to be a family and a country, right?

After chatting this time, Yuan Xiu didn't notice that he had been chatting for so long.

Chatting here and forgetting the hour, in the courtyard of the guest house, the master and servant were also chatting.

"Master, what are you doing on the mountain where this academy is fine?"

"Readers like to be clean, it's really quiet here, take a good look at it tomorrow."

Jin Juetian was lazily lying on the simple wooden bed, and Tuan'er was intimately helping to knead his legs.

Lying down, Jin Juetian couldn't help but think of the first snow he encountered just now, maybe Ming'er can still meet it?
