Master Lan glanced at the plum blossoms in full bloom and said, "The dean of our academy spent a lot of effort to transplant this plum tree back from the south. It took a lot of effort to transport it up the mountain."
What’s on my mind?”
There is no place in the academy here that does not reveal exquisiteness and luxury. If an outsider comes to see it, at most she would think the scenery here is good, but she is a person who owns a shopping mall, and the mechanical sound in her head has not stopped since she went up the mountain.
Yun Miaomiao had a deep understanding of that feeling of being able to see but not being able to eat.
"It turns out that the dean worked hard to cultivate it. No wonder it looks so good." Yun Miaomiao praised.
At this time, a gust of wind blew down the petals from the treetops and floated in the air. The fragrance of plum blossoms became more intense. At some point, the petals of plum blossoms fell on Yun Miaomiao's hair. Xu Shaoqing looked at it.
After a quick glance, he subconsciously raised his hand to brush it away. Yun Miaomiao glanced at him warily.
"What are you doing?" Xu Shaoqing came to his senses instantly when she shouted, "I told you to walk faster, you look like you have never seen the world, it's embarrassing."
Yun Miaomiao, "......"
Well, she has never seen the world, at least she has never seen such a valuable tree.
Master Lan looked at the awkward atmosphere between the two and said at the right time, "The dean is inside. Master Xu, please come in quickly."
Xu Shaoqing frowned. He didn't know where he had made the mistake. Just now he wanted to brush off the petals of that woman.
So, a group of people walked into the far gate with a bad look. In addition to the plum blossom tree climbing the wall, there were also several valuable crabapple trees, osmanthus trees, etc.
All kinds of flowers and trees are planted neatly and orderly in the yard. In the middle is a path paved with cobblestones and a looming turret, revealing the ultimate classical beauty.
After walking through the gravel road, there was a small pavilion, inside which was sitting a middle-aged man. He was wearing a grass green brocade t-shirt with an auspicious pattern of birds, a white apricot tiger pattern gold lace belt tied around his waist, and a black head.
With shiny hair and a pair of black eyes, it seemed as if she could see through people. Yun Miaomiao didn't expect that the other person was so young.
Xu Shaoqing suppressed his strange emotions, walked up to the man, and respectfully called out, "Uncle."
Ying Feichen put down the bamboo slips in his hand and looked at Xu Shaoqing with his deep eyes, "You came here quietly, your mother is worried."
"I'm an adult and I have a sense of propriety in doing things. My mother worries too much." Xu Shaoqing sat down opposite him and started playing chess on the table.
Yun Miaomiao looked at him in surprise, not expecting that he could play chess.
Master Lan brought the person there and turned around to leave. Yun Miaomiao watched the two playing chess and pulled the person aside without leaving any trace.
"Master, I have a younger brother who is studying in the academy. I wonder if I can see him." Yun Miaomiao thought about it, but she still wanted to give Yun Su a surprise.
Master Lan glanced at Ying Feichen and Xu Shaoqing, and refused in a low voice, "Girl, you don't know something. Women are not allowed to enter the academy. You can come in because Master Xu brought you here, and you are now in the dean.
In the courtyard, you can't go anywhere except here. If you wander around randomly, your brother will be hurt by the time. I finally came to the academy to practice, but gave up halfway. Isn't it a pity?"
Yun Miaomiao was lost for a moment, then smiled and said, "Thank you, Master, for reminding me. Of course I know how powerful it is."
After sending Master Lan away, Yun Miaomiao and Xiao Qi squatted aside to enjoy the flowers. They also took out a few walnuts in their hands and chatted with Xiao Qi.
Such a beautiful yard was built with money. If you plant some beautiful flowers in your own yard, it probably won’t look too bad.
"Who is the person you brought?" Ying Feichen finished his last bet, "You lost."
Xu Shaoqing nodded, "Uncle is still great."
Ying Feichen shook his head, "It's not that I'm great, it's that your mind is not on chess. When you came in just now, your mind was not on this. Are you attracted to that woman? Do you want to marry her back?"
"No." Xu Shaoqing retorted loudly, "Who can fancy her?"
Ying Feichen laughed, "Both your mother and your father are very worried about your marriage. If this woman's status is not too bad, it's not impossible, but she will suffer some hardships from your mother. After all, you are her only son.
, your mother attaches more importance to a well-matched marriage, and will also prefer ladies from high-ranking aristocrats."
Xu Shaoqing frowned, "I have no plans to get married."
"Then you are just playing around?" Ying Feichen frowned, "This is not what us men should do. We can dislike others, but we cannot do irresponsible things. If you don't like others, then don't do it.
If you get too close to others, if you like them, you have to be responsible for them."
Xu Shaoqing took a serious look at Yun Miaomiao and changed the topic, "Don't talk about this, uncle, my appetite has been cured."
"What?" Ying Feichen thought he heard wrongly, "What happened? Last month, your mother wrote to me, saying she was worried that your bones would be damaged like this, and she asked me to find a way for you."
Yun Miaomiao felt the gaze on her body and raised her head to look towards the pavilion. Xu Shaoqing withdrew his gaze in time and looked at Ying Feichen.
"It's just the past few days. It's been better since I came to the town." Xu Shaoqing said truthfully, "It's not completely healed, but I can eat a lot."
"That's great. It's true that God has paid off. Your mother and I are worried that you will never get better in the future. We have been looking for doctors everywhere, but we didn't expect that you miraculously recovered." Ying Feichen
Extremely excited, "Does your mother know about this?"
"I haven't told her yet." Xu Shaoqing shook his head, "By the way, uncle, I want to study in the academy this time and take part in next year's provincial examination."
"What?" Ying Feichen thought he heard wrongly.
Xu Shaoqing repeated what he said. He just heard the woman say that her brother was also here.
Ying Feichen narrowed his eyes and said, "Your mother and I begged you to come before, but you didn't come. Why did you suddenly change your mind this time? Are you doing something stupid?"
"I am serious this time, uncle." Xu Shaoqing's face was extremely sincere, "Now that I am not young, even with the Xu family behind me, I can't accomplish anything."
Yeah?
In the past, you said that at worst, you would farm by yourself.
There was worry in Ying Feichen's eyes. His great nephew must have been possessed by an evil spirit.
"You didn't go back to Jiangchuan so early. You live here now. When you think about it carefully, I will help you make arrangements. How about it?"
"Okay." He was not in a hurry anyway.
Ying Feichen saw that it was already getting late, "I'll ask my servants to prepare lunch, and you can take a stroll in the yard by yourself."
"Wait a minute." Hearing that lunch was about to be prepared, Xu Shaoqing called Xiao Qi, "Xiao Qi, take her to the kitchen to cook."
Yun Miaomiao, "......"
Her role today is to make money, cooking, small things.
All Yun Miaomiao was thinking about was the ingot of gold. She looked gentle and said, "Let's go."
Ying Feichen raised his eyebrows, "Could it be that she cured your problem of not liking to eat?"
Xu Shaoqing did not deny it, "Her craftsmanship is pretty good. My uncle will try it out later."
Ying Feichen originally lived alone in the courtyard and rarely went out. There was only one servant serving in the courtyard. When Yun Miaomiao entered the kitchen, she saw a neat and clean kitchen.
"Xiao Qi, help me light the fire." Yun Miaomiao glanced at the ingredients on the table, "Is there anything your young master didn't like to eat in the past?"
Xiao Qi pursed her lips and corrected, "My name is Xu Qi. Only the young master can call me Xiao Qi."
Yun Miaomiao was silent for a moment, this is not the point.
She had no choice but to change her words, "Xu Qi, does your young master have any taboos?"
Xu Qi thought about it seriously, "He doesn't eat fish. He says that fish has too many bones and he doesn't like to eat it."
"Then I'll make fish soup." Yun Miaomiao nodded and decided on the dish.
Xu Qi, "......"
Shouldn't we stop cooking fish?
This Miss Yun is really very different.
No wonder the young master treats her differently.
Yun Miaomiao cooked seven or eight dishes neatly, and when they were served to the table, even Ying Feichen was a little surprised.
"Miss Yun." Ying Feichen had already learned her name from Xu Shaoqing, "Have you cooked all the dishes in the kitchen?"
Yun Miaomiao nodded, "With so many people, I don't know if these dishes are enough."
Ying Feichen was a little hard to explain. This was his meal for seven days, and he finished it all in one day.
He glanced at Xu Shaoqing, implying that his own people would be responsible for their own meals from now on.
Xu Shaoqing focused on the large pot of thick white fish soup. He really didn't eat anything and only specialized in cooking.
