(14) Miao Xiushu
Two years later, Dengzhou, Fan's family.
At the gate of Fan's Mansion, there were two little guys guarding the door, both wearing cyan robes, and a little shorter was chatting with Ji Yan, and the little guy said helplessly on his face: "Ji Gongzi, I see that our Gongzi often goes out again, is it to find that Miao girl?"
Since Ji Yan fell for Xiucai, the subordinates of the Fan Mansion have respected him as Ji Gongzi.
Ji Yan thought about it and nodded.
The little guy said again: "Ji Gongzi, tell me, when will our son be able to calm down and go to Beijing to catch the exam~"
"How many years has this been delayed~"
"Be quiet, you can also talk about Childe's affairs?~" Another janitor spoke to stop.
Ji Yan also sighed when he heard what the little guy said, he was holding a folding fan, the folding fan was given to him by Gongzi, he and Gongzi had a good relationship, and he also hoped that Gongzi could put down Miss Miao as soon as possible and go to Beijing to gain fame.
When it comes to the matter of Gongzi and Miss Miao, he is also a little helpless, but what can he do?
He glanced at the two little guys again, remembered what Childe had explained, and said, "I have to go first, and I also asked Childe to buy some things for him~"
"Okay, let's drink together next time~"
"Okay~" Ji Yan smiled, agreed, and then turned around and left.
When the two guards saw Ji Yan walking away, the little guy who stopped him at the exit said: "You really don't know your identity more and more, and you can also say about the matter of the son?"
"Hey, why don't I know my identity? I'm just anxious for my son, you say that my son has a good future, is it worth it for a Miao girl? It's been so many years~" His face was full of helplessness.
"It's not worth it and it's not your turn to say, whisper to you, let's just talk about these things in private, don't talk about it all day long~"
"I know, just tell me, our son-in-law has already made a marriage, but after the marriage, he ran to the Miao family diligently, don't you say that this is not intended to block the future young lady~"
Fan Wenshu, the eldest son of the Fan family, has already made a marriage contract, and the young lady is the eldest daughter of Zheng County Cheng under the jurisdiction of Dengzhou, although she is only the daughter of a county Cheng, but the Cui family's ancestors have a good foundation, and there are many clansmen in the family who are officials in Beijing.
The daughter of the Cui family in Cui County, Zheng County, her real name is Cui Jingxian, Cui Jingxian is as her name suggests, she is quiet and pleasant at first glance, and her appearance is beautiful.
I heard that because she is the eldest daughter in the family, she has a very strong temperament.
But I've heard about it, and I don't know if it's true or not.
"Tell me what is the charm of that Miao girl that makes our son so obsessed?"
"I heard that Miss Cui's appearance is also the best~"
The little guy sighed again.
Isn't Childe just obsessed?
How many times has this been?
A few years ago, the son was infatuated with Miss Miao, but unfortunately the falling flowers were intentional and the flowing water was ruthless.
Miss Miao got along with the son-in-law of another official family, and his son-in-law was reduced to getting drunk in the study at home.
Not long after I woke up, I packed my bags and went out on my back, saying that I was going to study.
They thought that Gongzi would go on a study tour, but after a long time, it would be good to let go of the Miao girl.
But Na Cheng thought that two years ago, the son was silent and hurried back.
Later, they inquired carefully, and it turned out that the son was because of the Miao girl~
It would be good if the son could hold the beauty, but people didn't want to talk to him earlier, why bother?
But fortunately, in the two years since Gongzi came back, he had just been to the Miao family when he came back, and then he saw that Gongzi no longer ran to Miao's house.
But who knows, after the son made an appointment, he ran to the Miao family?
Tell me, if this matter spreads to Zheng County and the Cui family, then it will be okay?
Isn't this the eldest lady of the Cui family who clearly responds to the door of the family?
The two little servants were still talking, until they heard the footsteps and glanced inside the door, and then quickly closed their mouths.
On the streets of Dengzhou City, Ji Yan, a man in white clothes, was walking on the street, the summer sun was a little scorching, he hurriedly bought the things that his son had confessed, and after buying them, he hurried to the direction of Fanfu.
He was looking at the gate, and saw that Gongzi was already standing at the gate of Fan's Mansion waiting, Ji Yan quickened his pace and stepped forward to take out the wrapped candied fruit and handed it to Gongzi, Fan Wenshu glanced at the things he bought, nodded and said: "If Mrs. asks in a while, you will say that I am going out to see my teacher~"
Ji Yan nodded with a clear face, and then watched Gongzi leave.
The two little guys guarding the door also saw him and Gongzi, and they didn't pull Ji Yan to chat anymore, but smiled at Ji Yan in a wry manner.
In Fan's mansion, a maid woman in a pink and white dress hurriedly walked to the inner courtyard, as if she had something urgent to tell the master of the inner courtyard, she stood in front of the inner courtyard and waited, and there were two maids in the same pink and white dress as her in front of the inner courtyard, she looked at the two sisters, with a flattering look on her face, but the two sisters did not like to see her.
A big maid named Qiaoxin in the inner courtyard heard the news, nodded, and ordered the maid who came to ventilate the news to tell the maid who was waiting at the gate of the inner courtyard that she would have a good life in the future.
Then I got the ingenuity of the news, and I was thinking about how to give my wife eye medicine for a while.
Then a figure nodded, and went out of the inner courtyard again, to see the maid waiting at the gate of the courtyard, she told her the words of skill, and saw that her face immediately showed joy, nodded again, and left.
She is a maid serving in the outer courtyard, and she is not qualified to enter the inner courtyard without the greeting of her master on weekdays.
She glanced back at the inner courtyard, longing for the day when she could enter the inner courtyard to serve. The ingenious sister beside Mrs. said that as long as she watched carefully in the outer courtyard and reported the news of the son's exit from the gate in time, she would have a chance~
The women of the new Tang Dynasty are not so restrained, and there are not many restrictions on going out on weekdays, Miao Xiushu went out alone today, and she was already sitting in the private room on the second floor of the "Cuixiang Pavilion" in Dengzhou City, and the Cuixiang Pavilion was located on the most lively West Street in Dengzhou. This is a regular customer, and the little second acquaintance skillfully led him to the room where Miss Miao was staying, and then added tea and snacks, and then retreated, and carefully closed the door of the wing.
This time is not a meal, but the Cuixiang Pavilion is also very lively, fortunately, the second floor wing room is well soundproofed, and it is not noisy inside.
After Fan Gongzi waited for the little two to leave, he took out the paper bag in his hand, put it on the table and pushed it in front of Miss Miao.
Miss Miao, who was sitting on the embroidery bench at the wooden table, looked up and looked at Fan Gongzi with some doubts, Miss Miao was wearing a light blue dress, her skin was very delicate and fair, gentle and soft, and her eyes were very moist.
The years have not left any traces on her face, she is obviously a woman in her twenties, but she looks like a girl in her twenties.
She stretched out her white fingers, pointed to the paper bag on the table, opened her red lips and asked curiously, "This is?"
Her voice is tactful and melodious, clear and beautiful, like an orchid in the hollow valley, and she feels that this is a beauty just by hearing her voice.
Fan Gongzi was already accustomed to her beautiful voice, so he only sat down and sat opposite her, "Open it and take a look." ”
Miss Miao flashed her moist eyes, turned her head sideways, the jasper tassel on the grate swayed, she showed a gentle smile on her face, opened the paper bag with her white fingers, and saw that it was covered with golden candied fruit with a hint of sweet fragrance, but her brows were furrowed, and her face was faintly helpless, and she said, "You forgot again? I don't like to eat this candied fruit~"
Although he said helplessly that he didn't like it, the voice was soft and soft, as if he could make the other party soak in honey and tickle people.
Fan Gongzi was not affected by the seductive voice at all, he just glanced at the golden candied fruit, as if thinking of something, fell into the memory, and a trace of helplessness appeared on his face, and then said: "This candied fruit is very sweet, I heard that occasionally eating something sweet and greasy can make people feel better." ”
When Miss Miao saw him say this, she also smiled, and said again: "If you eat something sweet and greasy, you can feel better, how can there be so many sad and sad people in this world?"
Fan Gongzi didn't reply, just looked at the candied fruit thoughtfully.
Eating sweet and greasy candied fruit will make you feel better, this is what An Yue told him.
"How's the progress of the thing I asked you to do?" Miss Miao opened again.
Fan Gongzi came back to his senses, still looked at the candied fruit, and said: "It's almost, the owner of the Zhuangzi in the suburbs has not been in Dengzhou City for a few days, and he can do it just when he comes back." ”
Miao Xiushu nodded, "When I buy it, I will start to buy some things and open a girls' school there~"
In the New Tang Dynasty, the opening of a women's school has long been unprecedented, and even Dengzhou has already had a few of them.
The women's school, as the name suggests, is to teach some girls and girls, etiquette, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, etc.
Most of the ladies from official families and those with good family backgrounds want to invite a female gentleman with a good reputation to teach in the house, but the female gentleman with a good reputation is also limited, so that the family background is still good, but the female gentleman with a good reputation and good learning is invited to enter the house~
The appearance of the women's school at this time played a new role, bringing together those women who have a good family background and want their own girls to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting together, and more importantly, this can also allow their own girls to meet many girls of the same age, and many can establish deep handkerchief friendships.
"Mingyue can be invited down the mountain by you, and this school will get twice the result with half the effort. ”
Fan Gongzi smiled, the Mingyue monk is surnamed Qiu, from the Huainan Qiu family.
Everyone knows in the New Tang Dynasty that the female gentlemen of the Qiu family are among the best, when the queen mother was not out of the cabinet, the house also invited the female gentleman of the Qiu family to serve as a teacher, and later the queen mother entered the harem, and directly brought the female gentleman into the palace, and the reputation of the Qiu family has been thriving since then.
Even when the queen is not out of the cabinet, she is also taught by the female gentleman from the Qiu family~
In the New Tang Dynasty, the female gentleman from the Qiu family, if she says the first, no one dares to say the second anymore.
It is strange to say that over the years, there are many girls in the Qiu family who are very promising, and the status of the Qiu family is also thriving, but there are many girls who have not married in their lives, and the legend is that most of them are too smart, and they have already seen through the love of this world, and they don't like to be confined to the life in the back house compound, so they don't want to get married~
This Mingyue layman, named Qiu Yin, is already thirty and five, and has been teaching a female gentleman in a certain family in the capital for many years. The things to be taught in the family are not only piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but also astronomy and geography, human feelings, and some obscure things~
To be able to invite her, just by virtue of her surname and first name, opening a girls' school is already twice the result with half the effort.
"It's thanks to you~"
Miao Xiushu smiled gently, her voice was really pleasant.
"I didn't help much~"
Fan Gongzi smiled faintly.
Na Qiu Yin came all the way from the capital to Dengzhou City to live in seclusion, and this news was found by Fan Gongzi.
Miao Xiushu and her father sent someone to Fan's Mansion to look for him before, wanting to ask him for help and help Miao Xiushu open a girls' school.
Her father, who was also his mentor, thought for a moment and agreed.
Then secretly began to figure out a way.
Speaking of this inquiry, it is thanks to his grandfather's family in the capital.
After Fan Gongzi got clues from his grandfather's house, he immediately sent someone to investigate carefully, and after finding out the specific news, he told her that Mingyue Jushi had come to Dengzhou City to live in seclusion, and Miao Xiushu understood what Fan Gongzi meant when she heard that it was Mingyue Jushi Qiuyin.
Then the two made an appointment to go to the place where the Mingyue monk lived in seclusion to invite her, she didn't agree at first, and then Miao Xiushu went again and again, always chatting with her to relieve boredom, and finally won her favor and entered her eyes, which was why Miao Xiushu went down the mountain.
"Look at the sky, let's go in a while~"
"Okay~" Miao Xiushu nodded, took a sip of tea elegantly, and the two stood up and went downstairs one after the other.
Go and see the bright moon monk, this is what they agreed with yesterday.
Meet here today, and then he will accompany her up the mountain to see the Mingyue monk.
The two went down the stairs together, Fan Gongzi asked the shopkeeper to lead two horses, Cuixiang Pavilion privately raised some horses for the guests' emergency use, the shopkeeper dragged the two horses raised by Cuixiang Pavilion out of the side door, Fan Gongzi and Miss Miao each led one, one after the other jumped on the horse.
In Dengzhou City, a man dressed in white drove a handsome horse, and behind him was another woman in a blue dress driving a handsome horse.
The man was suave, the woman was gentle and feminine, and she looked very right, and the two of them went out of the city gate one after the other and rushed to the suburbs.
There was a big mountain in the south of the suburbs of Dengzhou, and they drove their horses very fast, and soon they reached the foot of the mountain, and the man in white dismounted, and the woman also threw down the horse in a dashing manner, and the two led the horses up the mountain one after the other.
There is a small green bamboo courtyard in the mountain forest halfway up the mountain in the south of the suburbs, and it is the Mingyue monks who live in it.
