When Meng heard about the manager, she also stood up and took the girl's hand, "Now that the pleasant person has arrived, we should go and greet him together."
Bai Yunxi nodded directly to Meng's reminder. When Xiao Wu came back from sending the invitation, he told her about Dean Zhang's situation.
Although Dean Zhang resigned and founded Qingyu College, he was once a Hanlin scholar and a serious scholar.
The imperial court took pity on talents and thought that he was a scholar. In order to retain him, he retained his official position and hoped that he would one day return to the court and contribute to the country.
Although the marginal fifth rank is idle, his wife still has the pleasant title of fifth rank.
This is also the preferential treatment given by the imperial court to scholars.
Although the fifth-grade Yiren is nothing in the imperial city, in this remote village like theirs, she exists like a queen.
When Baiyunxi led everyone to the yard, Chang Xiucai also came out with Xiao Wu and others. When everyone walked to the gate together, they saw two carriages parked on the roadside.
Xie Yu had already stepped off the carriage and was looking curiously at the yard in front of him.
Bai Yunxi looked at Xie Yu, who was wearing a silver-red robe. The collar, cuffs, and hem were embroidered with dark patterns with gold and silver threads. There was a ribbon tied around the waist. There was an exquisite purse and a white jade pendant hung on each side of the left and right sides.
It looks noble and luxurious.
He stood there, the breeze blowing the hem of his clothes slightly, and Bai Yunxi seemed to see Baoyu coming out of the book.
Xie Yu felt Bai Yunxi's gaze, turned her head and bowed slightly to her, smiling and giving a salute.
"Aunt Bai, Xie Yu is disturbing me."
"The arrival of distinguished guests brings glory to the humble house."
Hearing Xie Yu's address, Bai Yunxi's eyebrows twitched. She didn't know what kind of muscle this person had. After all, they were all guests, and now was not the time to talk about names.
"Aunt Bai is so polite. If this is a humble house, how can you let others live?"
Xie Yu looked at the big yard in front of him, then at the thatched houses in the village that were within easy reach, and made a joke with the corners of his lips curled up.
Give him a piece of this humble house.
"There are so many people in the family that we can't accommodate them without building a few more rooms." Baiyunxi chuckled and spoke truthfully.
While he was talking, the coachman had already set up the horse stool, raised the curtain, and was about to help Dean Zhang get out of the car.
When Xiao Wu saw the teacher, he immediately stepped forward to hold Dean Zhang's arm and spoke respectfully,
"Dean, the students will help you get out of the car."
Dean Zhang took Xiaowu out of the carriage, followed closely by Zhang Yishan and Zhang Yishan.
The moment the little girl saw Xiao Wu, her eyes suddenly lit up, "Junior brother, we are here as promised."
"Welcome, senior sister." Xiao Wu looked at her and nodded softly,
Dean Zhang and his wife watched their daughter compete with Xiao Wu, and shook their heads helplessly with a smile, "You girl, you don't know how to restrain yourself when you are away from home."
"Junior brother's family is not an outsider." Zhang Yishan smiled, said goodbye, got off the carriage, and stood behind her parents in a proper manner, waiting for the elders to say hello to each other.
Dean Zhang glanced at the courtyard, turned to look at Bai Yunxi and others, raised his hand to stroke his beard,
"I was delayed a bit on the way, so I came a little late."
Bai Weiwei said happily, "It's not too late, it's just the right time."
After the host said hello, Chang Xiucai took a step forward and saluted Dean Zhang.
"Brother Wenjun, long time no see."
Dean Zhang, whose name is Liangzhe and whose courtesy name is Wenjun.
When Zhang Liangzhe saw Chang Xiucai, he immediately returned the favor.
"Brother Akiyama, long time no see, you are still in high spirits."
Chang Xiucai, whose name is Zhengyi and whose courtesy name is Qiu Shan.
"Brother Wenjun laughs. Qiu Shan has been living in the town and has no ambition to make progress."
"Brother Qiu Shan, as you say, everyone has his or her own ambitions and will always be happy when he is content. I envy the magnanimous and calm spirit in Brother Qiu Shan's heart."
Chang Xiucai shook his head helplessly.
"I'm getting older and I don't want to bother anymore. It's a nice thing to have a happy gathering with Brother Wenjun at An Sheng's banquet today."
"Haha... what an honor."
Bai Yunxi looked at them standing at the door and chatting, and couldn't help but twitching the corner of her mouth,
"Everyone has arrived at the door of the house. Why don't you go into the courtyard and sit down to drink tea and reminisce about the past?"
After listening to Bai Yunxi's reminder, the two of them couldn't help but burst into laughter as they met each other, holding hands with each other and entering the yard together.
On the contrary, I completely forgot about Xie Yu who was standing next to me as a backdrop.
Seeing the two of them entering the courtyard hand in hand, as if they were late to meet each other, Xie Yu looked up at the sky speechlessly. The acquaintances were so friendly when meeting each other, and they really completely forgot about him, a superfluous person.
If you think about it, you can understand that in the eyes of scholars, he, the son of a county magistrate, has no advantages.
After Xiao Wu respectfully sent the two deans into the hospital, and was about to come over to invite Xie Yu, he saw his expression of rolling his eyes at the sky, and walked over and bowed.
"Thank you, Mr. Dalang, for inviting me inside. Please forgive me for the poor hospitality."
Xie Yu looked at Xiao Wu, slightly raised the corners of her lips,
"Coming here uninvited, I thought I was causing trouble."
"Xie Dalangjun, what you said is wrong. In fact, last time I went to the county to send an invitation to the teacher, I also prepared it for you. Unfortunately, I didn't meet it, so I brought it back."
Xiao Wu said, took out a red invitation from his sleeve pocket and presented it with both hands.
Xie Yu looked at the invitation that was handed to him, took it and opened it, and the corners of his mouth suddenly turned up.
"Okay, don't thank Dalangjun one after another. You will enter Qingyu College soon. From now on, just call me senior."
Xiaowu nodded and held his hand again, "Yes, thank you senior for your kindness."
Listening to Xiao Wu's old-fashioned tone, Xie Yu shook his head, he was really a little scholar.
With such a temper and even some inflexibility, he was curious about what Dean Zhang saw in him.
Bai Yunxi watched the two people chatting, and the onlookers around them listened to their words with their ears bent, and couldn't help but shake their heads again,
"Don't stand at the door and talk. There is tea and seats in the yard. Why do you all like the scenery at the door?"
"What Aunt Bai said makes sense. After riding the carriage all the way, I'm really thirsty."
Xie Yu smiled slightly, opened the fan in his hand with a swipe, patted Xiao Wu on the shoulder, and took the lead into the yard.
When he saw the layout of the courtyard clearly, he rarely raised an eyebrow. It was indeed spacious and bright, no worse than those courtyards in the county. A trip to the countryside really opened his eyes.
After Bai Yunxi watched Xie Yu enter the courtyard, she walked up to Zhang Yiren, bowed and saluted.
"Bai's Yunxi greets Zhang Yiren. First, he invites Yiren into the courtyard to have tea and rest, and then he speaks and greets her."
They have official orders and status, and when they see them, they have to bow down and bow down.
Besides, everyone had already spent some time at the door just now. If they continued to spend time, they could sit down directly.
"That's fine."
Zhang Yiren curled her lips. She noticed Baiyun Xi as soon as she got off the carriage. She heard her chatting with everyone, not restrained at all. It is rare for a place like the countryside to raise a person with such a state of mind.
