After returning from the Jade Buddha Temple, Lin Wanrong was in a much better mood than before. Although Qing Qingxuan was not found, at least she knew that the Temple of the Reclining Buddha was the Temple of the Emerald Buddha. Qingxuan did not lie to herself. Although the appointment on the seventh day of July is far away now, as long as I work hard, I might be able to meet Qingxuan earlier.
The eldest lady saw him running back wet, but with a smile on her face. It was completely opposite to the situation when she left. She couldn't help but said: "You are so happy after being caught in the rain? Is the Temple of the Reclining Buddha the place you are looking for?"
Lin Wanrong nodded and said with a smile: "I really have to thank Mrs. Song. Without her, I don't know when I would have found him?"
The eldest lady hummed softly and whispered: "Are you looking for Miss Qingxuan in that place? Have you found her?"
Lin Wanrong sighed: "I haven't found it yet, but I will find it one day. You also know that there is nothing in this world that I, Lin San, cannot do."
"Bragging!" The eldest lady snorted: "Miss Qingxuan treats you with deep affection. When you find her, you must treat her well. When a woman is born in the world, meeting a person she falls in love with is the fate of her life. Don't do it. It broke her heart."
Lin Wanrong looked Xiao Yuruo up and down, and said with a smile: "Miss, are these really what you said? Why is it so different from before?"
Xiao Yuruo rolled her eyes at him, did not continue, and said lightly: "Go in quickly and change out of the wet clothes. I'll ask Sister Song to make some ginger soup. Don't get cold. Tomorrow morning, Sister Song and I will visit Beijing. Dahu, my mother has already made arrangements for you to send Yushuang to Jinghua College. You can just send her there yourself. Remember, don't cause trouble."
"Don't cause trouble", this sentence has become the mantra that the eldest lady tells him every time before going out, but these days. It has become a routine that he does not stir up trouble, but that trouble comes to him, and everyone is used to it.
After listening to the eldest lady's words, Lin Wanrong suddenly realized that tomorrow is the seventeenth day of the first lunar month. Jinghua College is about to start school, and the second young lady is considered a "college student" in this era, which is really gratifying.
After dinner, take a hot bath. The body that had been chilled by the heavy rain regained its vitality. The eldest lady was still in the living room preparing gifts for tomorrow's visit with Mrs. Song. Seeing the bright lights in the second lady's room, he sneaked up to Yushuang's room, gently knocked on the door and window a few times and said: "Second lady, second lady——"
Yu Shuang's voice came: "Come in quickly, the door is unlocked!"
The door creaked open and he entered. The lights in the house were warm, and the second lady was busy loading things, clothes and sundries into the boxes. Toys and snacks are all things that little girls like, and finally they are put into the four treasures of the study. Even a lot of perfume and soap were put in it, and it looked like I was going on a long journey. Saw this familiar scene. Lin Wanrong vaguely remembered how his mother packed his luggage for him the night before he reported to university. His lustful heart suddenly calmed down, and he felt extremely warm. He walked to Yu Shuang and said, "Have you packed everything? Don't leave it behind. What."
The second young lady said angrily: "You think I am you, careless! Everything you should bring is listed on the paper, and everything is indispensable." She turned around, held his hand and hummed: "The weather is obviously gloomy today. , I don't take an umbrella with me when I go out, I'm going to give you gonorrhea, what should you do?"
This girl has the potential to be a little housekeeper. Lin Wanrong smiled and scratched her little nose, and took a look at the box: "You brought so many things, do you really want to move? We are all in Beijing, you every ten I only come back once in half a month, and we will prepare some more for you and send them over if you need them. Isn't it much easier?" Seeing the weak Yushuang packing so many things, he felt a little like sending his children to school. , even though the person standing in front of him is the wife he has already promised a hundred times.
The second young lady glanced at him, shook her head firmly and said: "No! I went to that academy specifically to learn skills. If I only come back once every ten days and a half, how can I have the thought to study hard? Plus you are such a bad person. Here, I'm afraid that I won't want to go back when I come back. Bad guy, you and your sister must promise me that you won't visit me after I enter school. I will put all my attention on my studies. You also said , I am still young and can still learn many things. I can help my sister and you in the future. Lin San, can you promise me?"
Lin Wanrong was stunned for a moment. This girl had such a determined mind. He had underestimated her before and almost turned her into a vase.
"Yushuang, let's sit down and talk." He nodded and said more seriously than ever before: "I have said that I will send you to Jinghua College, but I still don't know what you are going to study?"
The second young lady smiled and said: "I'm going to learn some poetry and painting. I see that you seem to know a lot about these things. When I learn well, I will definitely defeat you in the future!"
Lin Wanrong smiled bitterly and said: "Why are you learning these things? Can poetry, painting and painting help the eldest lady or me? A talented girl from Luo is enough for me. If you learn these things again, our family will be in trouble in the future." I can only hear the dialogue between two talented women, husband, I will respect you and stay away from you."
The second young lady chuckled and said, "I am a daughter and don't want to learn poetry. So what do you want me to learn?"
Lin Wanrong thought for a while and said: "Is there any arithmetic and addition? You learn to keep accounts. When my husband's property becomes bigger, you will be the chief accountant and be in charge of my Lin family's general ledger."
"What is a chief accountant?" Yu Shuang asked with her big eyes flashing.
"Oh, this chief accountant is the one who keeps the general ledgers." He explained casually.
The second young lady covered her lips and smiled sweetly: "Okay, from now on I will be the one who settles the accounts with you, hehe!"
This was awkward to hear, and he couldn't help but smile: "Having said that, I have never been to Jinghua Academy. Do they only learn poetry and painting here? I don't know if there is such a specialization. The subject of learning arithmetic and arithmetic?"
Yushuang nodded and chuckled: "You, you underestimate this Jinghua Academy too much. This is the highest palace for our Dahua students. It not only teaches algorithms and mathematics, but also trains generals in strategy. As for the poetry and painting you mentioned, that's not even necessary. I said it. As long as you are willing, you can choose to study in any of these categories."
Lin Wanrong was also surprised. In this way, Jinghua College is really a comprehensive, all-round, and compound university. Not only does it have a liberal arts college and a college of science, but it also offers military training courses. I had underestimated this place before.
"Then what did you choose?" Lin Wanrong asked with a smile. It couldn't be the military discipline. Is it possible that our Lin family will have another female general?
The second lady smiled slightly. From a brand new pouch wrapped in red cloth, he took out something small and exquisite, and flicked his wrist. The beads on the thing rattled: "Hehe, Lin San, do you recognize what this is?"
Lin Wanrong laughed loudly and said: "Little darling, it turns out that you have been prepared for a long time. We are really in tune with each other. From now on, you will be the chief accountant of our Lin family."
"It's disgusting, that's nonsense!" The second lady's face turned red, and she gently plucked the jade finger a few times, causing the beads hanging on the thing to make a random noise. Yushuang said: "This thing. I also saw it from others. I heard that it is very useful for settling accounts. I finally found one. But not many people know how to use it. I don't know if the gentleman from Jinghua College can use it." Teaching this?"
"They can't. Your husband, I can! Isn't it just abacus!" Lin Wanrong smiled, took the small abacus, gently pulled it a few times and said: "Three times and five times divides two, four times and five times divides one, - "
Yushuang was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth: "Bad guy, you, where did you learn this? I've seen that not many people in Jinling can use this kind of abacus! What kind of secret are you reciting? It turns out You are the chief accountant!"
Khan, I am not an accountant, I just learned it in elementary school. But seeing Yu Shuang's surprised expression, he was also a little surprised. It seems that in this era, although abacus has appeared, it has not been popularized yet, and no one has summarized the abacus formula table. I wonder if there are any experts in Jinghua Academy! Mathematics is the mother of encyclopedias and the cornerstone of natural science. If mathematics cannot be developed, scientific and technological progress will be empty talk.
He couldn't help scratching his head in embarrassment, should I give this abacus formula to Yushuang, so that she might become the number one person in Dahuashu mathematics, and it would also bring glory to my old Lin family. But when he saw Yushuang's delicate little hands, he calmed down again. Forget it, his wife hurts herself. Let's teach others these hard work. In the future, find a talker in Jinghua College to teach this formula. , it can be considered that I have made some contributions to Dahua Mathematics.
Yushuang threw herself into his arms and said softly: "After you send me to Jinghua Academy tomorrow, don't look for me anymore. If I don't learn this lesson, I will never leave this academy."
"Support, absolutely support!" Lin Wanrong patted her shoulder and said, "I always support my wife who wants to make progress!"
The second young lady hummed softly and suddenly asked curiously: "Where are the five limbs?"
He laughed a few times and didn't answer. The second lady sighed and said, "It's fine that you are enjoying life outside with all the sisters and sisters accompanying you. It's just me studying hard inside. I miss you like a knife. If I miss you Yes, but what should I do?"
"It's simple. I'll draw a self-portrait. It's guaranteed to be handsome and unrestrained, with a jade tree facing the wind. You put it next to your pillow every day and take a look at it before meals and after using the toilet. Wouldn't it relieve your lovesickness?"
"Who wants to look at you?" The second lady's face turned red and she whispered: "Then you can draw me too, and we will be together forever."
After coming to this completely unfamiliar world, Lin Wanrong never thought that one day he would be able to return to a university campus. But standing in front of the gate of Jinghua College, he seemed to have returned to his college days.
Jinghua College is the first academic institution in Dahua. It is located outside the south gate of the capital, opposite the inner courtyard of the imperial palace. The college is divided into three subjects: poetry, mathematics, and military theory. The students recruited are all outstanding talents in various aspects. It is said that they must pass several rigorous assessments.
Assessment? Lin Wanrong glanced at the second young lady walking beside him and shook his head helplessly. It has been a long-standing tradition to go to college through the back door.
In today's Great China, culture is more important than martial arts. Most of the students who enter the Jinghua Academy come to learn poetry from famous teachers. Once they are recommended to the court, they will surely become famous and prosperous. The number of people who study military theory is relatively small. Either he is a child of a military attache from aristocratic family, or he is a sergeant who has made meritorious service. He is also a force that cannot be underestimated.
The weakest ones are those who learn magic like the second lady. Whether you have power or not, not only in Jinghua Academy, but also in the entire Great China Dynasty, it is the least valued. Therefore, the number of people who sign up to learn arithmetic is very small, accounting for less than 10%. It is far different from the era when Lin Wanrong experienced "learn mathematics, physics and chemistry well and travel all over the world without fear".
Lin Wanrong, who had accompanied the second lady to register early in the morning, looked at the sparse number of applicants on the red list of spells. Looking at the crowd of people in front of the poetry list, I couldn't help but shake my head. What kind of thing is this? Can the country of China become rich and powerful just by writing some romantic and erotic poems? What a fucking bullshit. He can barely be regarded as a half-hearted talent, but for the title of talent. He is deeply ashamed!
The second young lady is very excited. She is just over seventeen, and she is at the age where she likes to have fun. This is the highest university in Dahua. Excitement mixed with pride, just like Lin Wanrong's mood when he entered university.
The number of people who signed up for the magic that Xiao Yushuang wanted to learn was very small. The lecture was held in a small courtyard with only forty or fifty people. There are less than ten women. As soon as the second lady entered, she naturally caused a sensation.
Yushuang glanced at Lin Wanrong uneasily, and saw him smiling slightly at her. She felt at ease, glanced at Lin Wanrong reluctantly, and walked towards her seat.
According to the agreement with the second lady, Lin Wanrong had to leave after entering the academy and could not disturb Yu Shuang's hard study. Of course, he deeply approved of this hard work.
Smiling at Yu Shuang, Lin Wanrong quickened his steps and was about to walk out of the courtyard when two people hurriedly walked outside. The person walking in the front was a woman, who was lowering her head in deep thought. She was walking in a hurry without looking at the road ahead, and almost bumped into him.
Lin Wanrong hurriedly dodged to avoid it. Is this girl in a hurry to be reincarnated? Fortunately, I am as light as a swallow and my reaction is quick. Otherwise, you would have become a flying swallow and fallen into my arms.
The man behind the woman saw that she almost hit someone, so he rushed forward and said, "Miss Xu, how are you? Are you injured?"
Damn, this is a good question. She and I haven't even touched each other, yet you just ask if she's hurt? He shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly. He saw that the man who asked the question was in his twenties, dressed in white, with a slender figure, a jade face and red lips, plump and handsome, and a bit more handsome than Pan An.
Lin Wanrong naturally didn't like people who were more handsome than him. He didn't even look at the woman, turned around and left.
"Wait a minute!" the handsome man shouted in a low voice: "Brother, you almost knocked down Miss Xu, should you apologize a little?"
It was obvious that this chick almost hit me, so why did I become the perpetrator? Lin Wanrong sighed inwardly, remembering the instruction of the eldest lady, "Don't cause trouble." He slowly turned around and said with a smile: "Oh, did you almost knock me down? Then I'm really sorry, this lady, I I apologize to you!"
The young lady seemed to have come back from her deep thoughts and frowned: "Brother Ye, what's going on? Is there something wrong?"
Lin Wanrong was sweating profusely. What was this girl thinking so lost in thought that she didn't even know she almost hit someone? Fortunately, there are no cars for you to drive in this era! But her voice sounded familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere.
The handsome Mr. Ye said: "Oh, Miss Xu, it's nothing serious. Just when you were thinking, this brother almost bumped into you. I asked him to apologize to you!"
This is so damn well said! In the past, Lin Wanrong would have drawn out his gun and started doing it, but today is different from the past. Yu Shuang still wants to study here. The eldest lady also specifically asked me, for the sake of the peace of the two sisters, I will bear it!
The Miss Xu calmly shook her head and said: "No need, Brother Ye, I was thinking about things just now. I was walking in a hurry and almost bumped into this young man. In terms of fault, I am also half at fault."
This young lady, whose voice sounded familiar, was quite reliable in her words, and she took the initiative to take on half of the responsibility, even though this responsibility should be 100% hers.
Mr. Ye nodded and said: "Miss Xu is so kind to others. She is really a role model for many teachers and students in our Jinghua College. Ye admires her very much." Miss Xu smiled lightly and said nothing.
Lin Wanrong shook his head in disdain and said, just shoot, you are thicker-skinned than me. He didn't bother to look at Miss Xu. Just as he was about to leave, he heard Mr. Ye say: "Brother, you are a student of the college.
what? Are you here to learn arithmetic? Why haven't I seen you before? Miss Xu, have you seen him? "
Although Young Master Ye spoke in a courteous manner, his words always had an air of arrogance. Perhaps it was because of his handsome appearance. Lin Wanrong comforted himself and said: "I am not a student of the academy. I sent my young lady here to learn arithmetic today. She is from the Xiao family of Jinling——"
"Are you a young lady from the Xiao family?" Miss Xu asked in surprise, "Are you from Jinling?"
Is the Xiao family so famous? Does even the capital know about it? Lin Wanrong pretended to be humble and said: "I am from Jinling." He had just been questioned by Mr. Ye in such an exploitative way, but he had managed to hold it back and did not explode. But when he was talking to Miss Xu, he never raised his head to look at her, thereby expressing his strong protest against the two people - I won't look at you!
"Then do you know Miss Luo Ning, a talented girl from Jinling?" Miss Xu asked.
"Miss Luo?" Lin Wanrong nodded and said, "We know her. We know her very well. She knows me very well."
Mr. Ye smiled and said: "Miss Luo Ning is the daughter of the former Jiangsu Governor Luo Min. She has a noble status. How can you, a servant, be familiar with her?"
"Hahahaha——" Lin Wanrong suppressed a smile and said: "Be a servant? How much? Why does Miss Luo never treat me as a servant? I make money by my own labor. I eat with my own hands. Why am I inferior to others?" This young master divides people into three, six or nine grades, which is really against the Buddhist commandment that all living beings are equal. I suggest you go to the Jade Buddha Temple in the north of the city to do some merit."
Mr. Ye never thought that a servant would have such a sharp tongue. He was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said: "Whether it is divided into three, six or nine grades is not your decision. It is not my decision either. It is in the heart of the people. I will not argue with you. Otherwise, I will lose my identity."
Lin Wanrong shook his head and said nothing. This guy's self-feeling is not very good. For the sake of the eldest lady, I am too lazy to argue with you today and leave!
He was about to leave when Miss Xu raised her eyebrows lightly and took a few steps: "Jade Buddha Temple? Master, do you know about the Jade Buddha Temple?"
With these few steps, she was walking in front of Lin Wanrong. Lin Wanrong raised his head and was stunned.
I saw Miss Xu, who was in her twenties, with a slender figure, graceful figure, snow-skinned cherry lips, almond eyes and peach cheeks. Although there was no smile on her face, there was an indescribable calmness and calmness. She was standing in front of him. In front of you. Lin Wanrong was in a daze. In addition to being surprised by her beauty, he was even more surprised by the temperament of this woman. It was a kind of peace and calmness full of confidence, and a true intellectual beauty.
Being stared at by Lin Wanrong like this, Miss Xu was not angry and said calmly: "Master, can you tell me how you know about the Jade Buddha Temple?"
"Ahem, this -" Lin Wanrong felt something bad in his heart and hurriedly took two steps back: "Who among the elderly in Beijing doesn't know about the Jade Buddha Temple? I also heard about it from an elder sister."
Miss Xu shook her head slightly and said: "The world only knows about the Temple of the Reclining Buddha, but not the Temple of the Emerald Buddha! The Reclining Buddha is carved from raw jade, and not many people in Beijing know that."
"Miss, everyone has eyes, and you are not the only one who is good at observation." Lin Wanrong said.
Miss Xu nodded slightly: "Young Master indeed has sharp eyesight. Then may I ask, Master, did you go to the Jade Buddha Temple yesterday?"
"Yesterday? It was raining heavily yesterday. Why should I go to the Jade Buddha Temple?" Lin Wanrong said righteously, with a trace of determination flashing in his eyes.
Miss Xu stared at his eyes for a long time and then said, "Do you know what happens to a person's eyes when he lies?"
"I don't know, my eyes didn't move!" Lin Wanrong said seriously.
Miss Xu said lightly and said expressionlessly: "Catching you and then dumping you is my goal. Master, can you please learn this sentence again?"
Cold sweat, layer upon layer of cold sweat, even a seasoned black scholar like Lin Wanrong didn't know what to do.
