Chapter 145 Waiting
The courtyard of Wen Xia's house is very close to the nearby private school. Turn left after exiting Xinghua Lane, and it's probably less than 500 meters away.
After Wen Xia brought Qin Jinyan to the door of the private school, she did not take him in immediately. Instead, she stood at the door and waited for Qin Jinyan's breathing to stabilize and her mood to stabilize before taking Qin Jinyan in.
Private school.
Because the teacher of the private school has relatively high requirements for students, the number of students in the private school is not large. Therefore, the teacher directly set up the private school in the courtyard of his home.
When Wen Xia and Qin Jinyan came in, their husband was teaching in a room that had been converted into a classroom.
The person responsible for receiving them was an old woman who was responsible for cleaning and cooking at Mr. Private School's house.
Seeing Wen Xia and Qin Jinyan walking in from the door, the old woman had a kind smile on her face and said to Wen Xia: "This young lady came here today to send your young master and us
Is your husband studying?
You may have to wait a little while. Our husband has just started class. We can't come over to greet you until he finishes class.
Come with me first. There is tea and snacks in the reception room here, as well as some books that Mr. Sir has read before. They are placed here to entertain guests. If the young master is interested, you can also read them.
."
Hearing what the grandma said, Wen Xia first smiled and thanked her. Then he took Qin Jinyan and entered the house under the guidance of the grandma.
Just like what the grandma said, the environment in the reception room of this private school is very good.
Although there are only a few chairs and a few small tables used for refreshments, there are several pots of flowers arranged in an orderly manner in the room, which looks very elegant.
Even in winter, the windows of the reception room are open. From the open window, you can see the bamboos being carefully served outside the window. Even in winter, the bamboos are blooming very well.
The incense in the reception room is not as strong as in some homes. The light fragrance combined with the sound of the wind outside makes people feel very interesting.
At this moment, the old woman who had just sent them over left and walked in with a plate of refreshments and two pots of tea.
She placed one pot of tea in front of Wen Xia. The other pot was placed in front of Qin Jinyan, and explained to the two of them:
"The young master is relatively young. The teacher said that for such a young child, he drinks tea too early and cannot taste the tea. Therefore, when there are children studying over, the teacher always asks me to serve sherbet. I don't know about the young master.
Do you have any requirements in this regard? If you don’t like sherbet, I’ll go get the young master some tea.”
Wen Xia was surprised to hear what this grandma said.
However, their family has the same idea when it comes to eating and drinking, as long as it tastes good.
Therefore, Qin Jinyan did not make any other requests. After happily taking the sherbet handed to her by her grandma, she smiled and thanked her:
"Grandma, thank you, I can just drink this, please!"
After hearing Qin Jinyan's words, the grandmother said with a smile on her face:
"Young Master, you're welcome! This is what I should do. I don't know if you two have any other instructions. If not, I will go down first."
After the grandma finished speaking, Wen Xia also smiled and shook her head and said:
"There's nothing else to do. Sorry to trouble you! I'd like to trouble you to come back and let us know after class is over."
This grandma said with some fear:
"What's the trouble? This is what I should do. I'm not far outside. If you two want me to do anything, just call me."
After the old lady left, Qin Jinyan couldn't sit still. He took a few steps and came to the bookcase where the husband kept his books. He looked at it greedily like a little mouse seeing an oil tank.
with books in the bookcase.
Seeing the yearning look on his face, Wen Xia couldn't help laughing. She looked at Qin Jinyan and said:
"What? Do you like it that much? Didn't the old lady just say that the books in this room are all for entertaining guests. If you like it, you can choose one to read.
However, this is not our own thing after all. If you look at it, you should be careful not to get it wrinkled or torn."
Hearing Wen Xia's words, Qin Jinyan nodded happily and said, "Sister, I understand. Don't worry, I will be careful."
As he spoke, Qin Jinyan took a book from the bookcase very gently.
Then, some people came eagerly and sat down on the chair opposite Wen Xia. They didn't even pay attention to the snacks and tea placed not far away, and quickly focused on the books.
Seeing his performance, Wen Xia thought for a moment. He also came to the bookcase, selected a travel journal from it, sat on a chair and read it.
Although Wen Xia has never learned traditional Chinese characters before, she can be considered a person with more than ten years of education. She can recognize most of the characters, and the few that she cannot recognize can probably be figured out by considering the context.
Even though Wen Xia was just guessing, she read this travelogue with great interest.
However, Wen Xia was thinking about what she brought Qin Jinyan here for today.
After reading that paragraph, I turned my attention away from the book.
As soon as he looked up, he found that there was an extra person in the room.
The other person looked to be in his thirties, with a mustache that was very popular among literati of this era. His hair and beard were trimmed very neatly, and he was wearing a blue gown.
Although he is dressed in a very ordinary way, he gives off a scholarly atmosphere.
Although Wen Xia had never met this gentleman in the private school before. But when he saw him, Wen Xia had a feeling that he was the person he came here to find today.
After seeing the real owner, naturally I can't just sit there anymore.
Wen Xia hurriedly stood up from the chair, looked at this gentleman, and wanted to say hello.
Seeing Wen Xia's actions, the gentleman hurriedly waved his hand at her, signaling Wen Xia to keep quiet.
Although some of them didn't understand what the other party meant. However, Wen Xia was very aware of the current situation and stopped talking.
Seeing Wen Xia's actions, the gentleman smiled and nodded at her, expressing his approval of Wen Xia's performance.
