When Mrs. Lin proposed to leave and return to Suzhou, Mrs. Zheng naturally enthusiastically tried to stay in Jinling for a few more days. Mrs. Zheng also blamed herself for not being able to entertain. After hearing this, Mrs. Lin felt ashamed that the Zheng family had taken good care of her and agreed to stay for another two days.

Jinling holds a poetry meeting every three years, which is jointly organized by Mr. Xie from the Xie family and several scholars with some knowledge. Mr. Xie invites not only scholars, but also young men from various families, even poor boys who have studied. Those who want to see Mr. Xie can go and watch it. Mr. Xie also takes the knowledge of those young masters. When they meet those with good qualifications and who have gained their horizons, no matter how humble they are, they will immediately take the post and teach them carefully.

Mr. Xie’s talent has long been famous.

The second-rank senior official of the dynasty, the second year of Taiping Xingguo, was the top scholar in the Ding Chou Chronicle, and his master was Mr. Xie.

Lu Mengzheng was generous and upright, and now he was highly favored and promoted step by step.

I think that Lu Mengzheng was not from a poor family, but he had a down-and-out life. Although his biological mother Liu was a legitimate wife, he was a disagreement in his biological father because of his many relatives and his parents. His biological father drove Liu and Lu Mengzheng out of the house together. However, Lu Mengzheng did not become negative and decadent because of his difficult life, but studied hard and studied everywhere.

Mr. Xie was famous all over the world at that time. Lu Mengzheng came to Jinling and asked Mr. Xie to accept him as his disciple. After getting what he wanted, he studied hard and was diligent and studious.

Nowadays, there are naturally many people who want to thank the teacher. There are countless people who come from other places every three years. Mr. Xie has higher requirements every three years to accept disciples, so that those students with shallow knowledge can only stop.

In this way, Jinling naturally has the excitement and many young talents are indispensable to joining them. Where there are young talents, there are some young ladies of appropriate age. In this way, the three-year poetry meeting has become a grand blind date, encountering many romantic and beautiful stories of men and women.

Confucius Temple in the west of the Qinhuai River in the past has a different reputation from the Wuyi Lane in the old dynasty. However, the former is on the west bank of the Qinhuai River, and the latter is on the east bank of the Qinhuai River, while Wuyi Lane on the east bank has long changed things and is no longer prosperous.

The Confucius Temple was built to worship Confucius, hoping that scholars would follow the ways of the sages and wise men and receive education. The poetry meetings every three years were held in the Confucius Temple.

In the last life, Yan Hanyu came to attend Mr. Xie's poetry meeting.

The prefect, Mr. Zheng, was invited to attend the poetry meeting, and his three enlightened sons also participated. His purpose was to allow his son to have one of them to be subordinate to Mr. Xie, and to obtain fame in the future. Revitalize the Zheng family and promote the Zheng family.

Mr. Xie is an old man over the age of 70, with white eyebrows and long beards, elegant demeanor, and he is not tepid when talking to others, but he can't tell at all that he is an octogenarian.

The four generations and three generations of the Xie family were all experienced in academics, but none of them became officials in the court. Yan Hanyu couldn't figure it out, but she felt that there was no need to figure it out.

Confucius Temple is close to the Qinhuai River. There is a hibiscus flower forest on the Qinhuai River, with a faint fragrance. Yan Hanyu is there, looking at the large hibiscus flowers and muttering to himself, "Hibiscus flowers are white in color and are the best. They are sweet and bitter in nature and taste, cool, have the effects of clearing heat, cooling blood, and promoting dampness, and can cure dysentery..."

"Hanyu cousin, Hanyu cousin..."

Yan Hanyu silently recited the medicinal effects of hibiscus flowers, and was still thinking about harvesting some and taking them back, but was suddenly interrupted by a sudden and rapid voice.

"Cousin Nian'er, is there something wrong? Is it so happy?" She turned around and asked Lin Nian'er in confusion.

Lin Nian'er smiled and almost ran over, her steps were light. "Cousin Nian'er, why are you still here? Mr. Xie is going to accept a disciple. Just now, Mr. Xie said that in addition to his great-grandson, Mr. Zheng's cousin is the best knowledge in Jinling. Mr. Xie seems to be interested in accepting Mr. Zheng as his apprentice. This is really great!"

"Oh? Is it true? I accept Grand Master Zheng as his disciple?"

Lin Nian'er's cheeks were blushing and her lips were curved. She nodded repeatedly, "It's really true, they all said that."

"That's also the matter of Master Zheng, it has nothing to do with us. Why is Nian'er's cousin so happy?" Yan Han seemed to be teasing.

Lin Nian'er's pretty face turned redder, "Cousin Hanyu, Cousin Zheng is our cousin. If Cousin Zheng is under Mr. Xie's disciple, that would be very respectful, and I'm of course happy."

Yan Hanyu smiled and didn't smile. She stopped talking about her topic, but said, "Well, I'll go see my grandmother. Can Cousin Nian'er go with me?"

"My grandmother and her elder sister were talking to the old lady of the Xie family. I saw it from afar and didn't go, so I came to find you."

The grandmother went to talk to the old lady of the Xie family because of Lin Ping'er's marriage and Lin Nian'er. Lin Ping'er's personality was about Zheng An. The Xie family was both scholars, so they were inevitably noble. Therefore, the grandmother would not put Lin Ping'er in the Xie family, but thought that Lin Nian'er's nature was more suitable for the Xie family. The grandmother did not value the high family, nor did she like the good talent of the person. She only saw suitable or inappropriate.

Lin Nian'er didn't want to get over, and she didn't get over because she knew her grandmother's thoughts. She was thinking about Zheng Junxi and almost told her about her thoughts.

"If my cousin Nian'er doesn't go, I'll go."

"After half an hour, Mr. Xie will continue to teach. Will Hanyu's cousin come?"

"Let's talk about it when I go and see my grandmother."

When Mr. Xie’s lectures were taught, Yan Hanyu naturally wanted to listen to it.

After saying goodbye to Lin Nian'er, Yan Hanyu went toward her grandmother and waited for a place where no one passed. Yan Hanyu whispered, "Madam Hong, go."

"Miss, are you alone?"

"It's okay, don't worry, Madam Hong, I'll go find my grandmother. Besides, I'm not powerless. I will protect myself and there will be no trouble."

Madam Hong knew that Yan Hanyu had silver needles to protect her body, so she should separate from Yan Hanyu.

Although Mrs. Lin was born in a military general and was generous and unrestrained, Mrs. Xie was immersed in the scholarly family since she was a child, well-educated, dignified and gentle, but when the two old people met, they only regretted that they met too late. The topics ranged from the scenery of Suzhou and Jinling to the customs and habits in both places, and from the children and grandchildren to the sufferings of their own destiny.

The four generations of the Xie family live together. Mr. Xie is the grandmaster of the Xie family. Mrs. Xie is Mr. Xie’s eldest daughter-in-law. She is now a very old age. However, when she was young, her husband died and left a son. Mrs. Xie has a good character and has educated her sons and grandchildren very well over the years.

And the descendants of the Xie family, those with good qualifications, were carefully cultivated by Mr. Xie himself.

When Yan Hanyu saw Mrs. Xie, she couldn't help but salute her elders. When Mrs. Xie knew that she was the granddaughter of the Grand Tutor, she was unable to do so. She helped her get up and praised her for being gentle and elegant, and she was really the child of the Qinggui family.
