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 Jade Buddha, and Qingxuan did not lie to herself. Although the appointment on the seventh day of July is far away, as long as I work hard, I might be able to meet Qingxuan earlier.
Seeing him running back wet all over, the young miss saw him come back with a smile on his face, completely opposite to the situation when he went there, she couldn't help but said: "You're still so happy after being soaked in the rain? Is the Reclining Buddha Temple the place you're looking for?"
Lin Wanrong nodded and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, I really want to thank Mrs. Song. Without her, I don't know when I would find it?"
The eldest lady hummed lightly, and said in a low voice: "Did you look for that place to find Miss Qingxuan? Did you find 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, can't do."
"Bragging!" The eldest lady snorted: "Miss Qingxuan treats you with deep affection. If you find her, you should treat her well. A girl is born in this world, and meeting someone she admires is the luck of three lives. broke her heart."
Lin Wanrong looked Xiao Yuruo up and down, and said with a smile: "Miss, is this really what you said? Why is it so different from before?"
Xiao Yuruo rolled his eyes at him, didn't continue, and said lightly: "Go in quickly and change the wet clothes, I'll ask Mrs. Song to cook some ginger soup, don't catch cold. Tomorrow morning, Mrs. Song and I will visit Jingzhong Dahu, you send Yushuang to Jinghua College, your mother has already explained it. You can send her there yourself. Remember, don’t cause trouble."
"Don't cause trouble", this sentence has become the catchphrase that the eldest lady told him every time before going out, but these days it has come down. He doesn't bother with right and wrong, right and wrong want to provoke him, it has become a practice, everyone is used to it.
After hearing what the eldest lady said, 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 lady is considered to be a "college student" in this era, which is really gratifying.
Take a hot shower after dinner. The body that was icy cold from the torrential rain regained its vitality, and the eldest lady was still in the living room preparing gifts for tomorrow's visit with Mrs. Song. Seeing the bright light in Second Miss's room, he sneaked up to Yushuang's room, tapped on the door and window a few times and said, "Second Miss, Second Miss—"
Yushuang's voice came: "Come in quickly, the door is unlocked!"
With a creak, the door was pushed open and entered. The lights in the house were warming up, and the second young lady was busy, packing things and clothes 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 perfume and soap are packed in, it looks like I'm going on a long journey. See this familiar scene. Lin Wanrong vaguely recalled the night before he went to the university to register, and the scene where his mother packed his luggage for him, and his originally flourishing heart calmed down, and his heart was extremely warm. He walked to Yushuang and said, "Is everything packed? Don't worry." Drop what."
The second lady said angrily: "You think I'm you, you're so forgetful! Everything you need to bring is listed on the paper, and nothing is missing." She turned around, grabbed his hand and hummed, "It's cloudy tomorrow. , you don’t bring an umbrella when you go out, and you’re going to get gonorrhea, what should you do?”
This girl has the potential of a little housekeeper. Lin Wanrong scratched her little nose with a smile, and glanced into the box: "You bring so many things, do you really want to move? We are all in the middle of Beijing. Every ten Come back every day and half a month, and we will prepare some things for you to send over, wouldn’t it be much easier?” Seeing the frail Yushuang packing up all these things, he felt a little bit like sending his children to school , even though standing in front of him was his wife who had been appointed a hundred times by default.
The second lady glanced at him, shook her head firmly and said, "No way! My college is dedicated to learning skills. If I come back once in ten and a half months, why would I want to study hard? Plus you are a bad guy. Here, I’m afraid that I won’t want to go again when I come back. Bad guy, you and my sister have to promise me that after I enter school, you don’t want to visit me. I will put all my thoughts on this study. You also said , I am still young, and I can still learn a lot, so I can help my sister and you in the future. Lin San, promise me, okay?"
Lin Wanrong was stunned for a moment, this girl is so determined, she was underestimated before, and she was almost cultivated into a vase.
"Yushuang, let's sit down and have a good talk." He nodded, and said seriously like never 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 lady smiled and said: "I'm going to learn some poetry and painting. I see that you know a lot about these things. When I learn well, I will definitely defeat you in the future!"
Lin Wanrong smiled wryly and said, "What do you learn these things for? Can poetry and painting help the eldest lady and me? A talented girl from Luo is enough for me. If you learn these things again, our family will be happy in the future." I can only hear the dialogue between two talented women, husband, I will respect you and stay away."
The second lady giggled and said, "I'm a daughter, and I don't want to learn poetry, so what do you want me to learn?"
Lin Wanrong thought for a while and said, "Is there anything like arithmetic and addition? You learn to keep accounts and settle accounts. When your husband's property grows bigger, you will be the chief accountant and take charge of the general account of my Lin family."
"What is the chief accountant?" Yushuang asked with her big eyes shining.
"Oh, the chief accountant, that is, is the one who calculates the general ledger." He explained indiscriminately.
The second lady covered her lips and smiled coquettishly: "Okay, I'll be the one who settles accounts with you from now on, hehe!"
Hearing this sounded awkward, and he couldn't help but smile himself: "That being said, I have never been to Jinghua College. Is it true that I only study poetry and painting here? I don't know if there is such a special school. Learn the subject of arithmetic and arithmetic?"
Yushuang nodded and smiled lightly: "You, I underestimate this Jinghua College too much. This is the highest hall for my Dahua students. It not only teaches algorithms and mathematics, but also trains generals and strategies. As for the poetry and painting you mentioned, let alone That’s right. As long as you want, you can choose any of them to study.”
Lin Wanrong was also surprised. In this way, Jinghua College is really a comprehensive, all-round, and compound university. There are not only liberal arts colleges and science colleges, but also military training courses. I used to underestimate this place.
"Then what did you choose?" Lin Wanrong asked with a smile. It couldn't be the military discipline you chose. Does my Lin family want to produce another female general
Second Miss smiled slightly. From a brand new pouch wrapped in red cloth, he took out a small and exquisite object, and flicked his wrist lightly. The beads on the thing rattled: "Hee hee, Lin San, do you know what this is?"
Lin Wanrong laughed loudly and said, "Little darling, it turns out that you have already prepared, and we really have a good understanding. In the future, the chief accountant of our Lin family will be you."
"Damn it, nonsense!" The second young lady blushed, she flicked her jade fingers a few times, and the beads hanging on the thing made a chaotic noise. Yushuang said: "This thing. I also saw it from others. I heard that it is very useful for accounting. I finally found one. But few people know how to use it. I don't know if the master of Jinghua College will know it. Professor this?"
"They won't. Your husband, I will! Isn't it just abacus calculation!" Lin Wanrong smiled, took the small abacus, gently flipped it a few times and said: "Three times, five times divide two, four times five times one,—"
Yushuang was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth: "Bad guy, you, where did you learn this? I see that there are not many people in Jinling who can use this abacus! What kind of secret are you chanting—so you He's the chief accountant!"
Khan, I am not an accountant, I just learned it in elementary school. But seeing Yushuang'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 table of abacus formulas. I don't know if there are any experts in Jinghua College! Mathematics is the mother of encyclopedias and the cornerstone of natural science. If mathematics cannot be developed, technological progress is empty talk.
He couldn't help scratching his head in embarrassment, should I hand over this abacus formula to Yushuang, so that she may become the number one person in Dahuashu mathematics, and it can be regarded as winning glory for my old Lin family. But when he saw Yushuang's tender little hands, his thoughts calmed down again. Forget it, his wife hurts herself. I'd better teach these hard tasks to others. In the future, I will find someone to talk to in Jinghua College to teach this formula. , I can also count myself as having made some contributions to Dahua Mathematics.
Yushuang threw herself into his arms and said softly: "After you send me to Jinghua College tomorrow, don't look for me anymore. I don't want to study for anything, and I will never leave this academy."
"Support, absolutely support!" Lin Wanrong patted her fragrant shoulder and said: "I have always supported my wife who wants to improve!"
The second young lady hummed lightly, and suddenly wondered: "Why do you have five limbs?"
He laughed a few times and refused to answer. The second lady sighed and said, "You are happy outside, and it's fine to have all your sisters and sisters to accompany you. It's just me studying hard inside alone. This miss is like a knife. If I miss you Now, what can I do?"
"It's simple. I'll draw a self-portrait. I'm sure it's handsome and handsome. You put it next to your pillow every day and take a look at it before and after meals. Wouldn't it relieve your lovesickness?"
"Who wants to see you?" The second young lady's face was flushed, and she whispered again: "Then you can draw me too, the two of us will be together forever."
After coming to this completely strange world, Lin Wanrong never thought that he would be able to return to the campus of the university one day, but standing in front of the gate of Jinghua College, he seemed to have returned to his university days.
Jinghua College is Dahua's first school, located outside the south gate of the capital, facing the inner courtyard of the imperial palace. The college is divided into three subjects: Poetry, Arithmetic, and Military Theory. The recruited students are all outstanding talents in various fields. I heard that they have to pass several strict assessments.
Assessment? Lin Wanrong glanced at the second young lady who was walking beside her, and shook her head helplessly, going to university through the back door, it has always been the case.
In today's Dahua, culture is more important than martial arts. Most of the students who enter this Jinghua College come to learn poetry from famous teachers. The number of those who study military theory is relatively small. Whether they are the children of military officers from aristocratic families, or they are sergeants who have made meritorious service, they are also a force that cannot be underestimated.
The weakest ones are the ones who learn arithmetic like Miss Er, who need soldiers but have no soldiers. Those who have power but have no power, not only in Jinghua College, but also in the entire Dahua Dynasty, are the least valued. Therefore, the number of people who sign up to learn algorithmic arithmetic is very small, accounting for less than 10% of the 10%. It is far from the era of Lin Wanrong's experience of "learning mathematics, physics and chemistry well, and not being afraid to travel all over the world".
Lin Wanrong, who 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 heads of people gathered in front of the poetry list, I couldn't help but shake my head, what is this called, just making some romantic and romantic poems can make the country rich and strong? What a fucking bullshit. He can barely be regarded as a half-hearted gifted scholar, but for the title of gifted scholar. He is deeply ashamed!
The second lady was very excited, she just turned seventeen, just the age that likes to be lively, and this is the highest school of Dahua. Excitement mixed with pride, just like Lin Wanrong's mood when he entered university.
Xiao Yushuang wanted to learn this spell, and the number of applicants was very small. The lecture class is in a small courtyard with only forty or fifty people. There are less than ten women. As soon as the second lady entered, it naturally caused a sensation.
Yushuang glanced at Lin Wanrong uneasily, only to see him smile at her, and she settled down in her heart, looked at Lin Wanrong reluctantly, and walked towards her place.
According to the agreement with the second lady, after entering the academy, Lin Wanrong will leave, so she cannot disturb Yushuang's hard study. Of course, he deeply approves of this kind of hard work.
Smiling at Yushuang, Lin Wanrong quickened his pace and was about to walk out of the small courtyard when two people came hurriedly outside. The one walking in the front was a woman, who was bowing her head in thought, and hurried forward without looking at the road ahead, almost colliding with him.
Lin Wanrong hurriedly dodged away, this girl, is she rushing to reincarnate? Fortunately, I met me who is as light as a swallow and has quick reactions, otherwise you would have turned into a flying swallow and fell into your arms.
The man who was following the woman saw that she almost bumped into someone, rushed forward and said: "Miss Xu, how are you? Are you hurt?"
Damn, this question is level, I haven't even touched her skin, but you just opened your mouth and asked if you were injured? He shook his head helplessly and smiled wryly, and saw that the man who asked the question was in his twenties, dressed in white, with a slender figure, a jade face and vermilion lips, plump and handsome, he was even more handsome than Pan An.
For people who are more handsome than himself, Lin Wanrong has a natural dislike. He didn't even look at the woman, and turned around to go.
"Wait!" The handsome man shouted in a low voice, "Brother, you almost knocked Miss Xu down, should you apologize?"
Obviously this chick almost hit me, why did I become the perpetrator? Lin Wanrong sighed inwardly, remembering the exhortation of "don't cause trouble" given by the eldest lady, he slowly turned his head and said with a smile: "Oh, did you almost knocked over? I'm really sorry, miss, I My apologies to you!"
The young lady seemed to have just recovered from her contemplation, and frowned, "Brother Ye, what's going on? Is there something wrong?"
Lin Wanrong was sweating profusely, what was this girl thinking about so preoccupied that she didn't even know she almost ran into someone, fortunately there is no car for you to drive in this day and age! But her voice sounded familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere.
The handsome Ye Gongzi said: "Oh, Miss Xu, it's nothing serious. It's just that you were thinking about it just now, and this brother almost bumped into you. I'll ask him to apologize to you!"
This is too fucking level! In the past, Lin Wanrong would have drawn his gun and done it long ago, but now it is different, Yushuang still wants to study here, and the eldest lady has specially entrusted her, for the sake of the peace of the sisters, I will bear it!
That Miss Xu calmly shook her head and said, "No need, brother Ye, I was the one who was thinking about things just now, and walked in a hurry, and almost bumped into this young master. As for the fault, I am half of it."
This young lady whose voice sounded a little familiar, was quite reliable in her speech, and took the initiative to take half of the responsibility, although the responsibility should be 100% hers.
Mr. Ye nodded and said: "Ms. Xu treats people so generously. She is a model for many teachers and students of my Jinghua College. Ye admires him very much." Miss Xu smiled lightly and did not speak.
Lin Wanrong shook his head contemptuously, "Shoot it, just shoot it, you're thicker-skinned than Lao Tzu." He didn't bother to look at Miss Xu either. Just as he was about to leave, Young Master Ye said: "Brother, are you a student of the academy? Are you here to learn arithmetic? Why haven't I seen you before? Miss Xu, have you seen him?"
Although Young Master Ye speaks in a courteous manner, there is always a sense of domineering in his words. 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 lady here to learn spells today, she is from the Xiao family in Jinling—"
"Is it Miss Xiao's family?" Miss Xu asked in surprise, "Are you from Jinling?"
Is the Xiao family so famous? Even the capital knows? Lin Wanrong pretended to be modest and said: "I am from Jinling." Just now, he was forced to question Ye Gongzi as if he was exploiting him, although he endured it and did not explode. But when he talked to this Miss Xu, he never raised his head to look at her, expressing his strong protest against the two of them—I just won't look at you!
"Then do you know Miss Luo Ning, a talented girl from Jinling?" Miss Xu said.
"Miss Luo?" Lin Wanrong nodded and said, "I know. I know her very well. She knows me very well."
Mr. Ye smiled and said: "Miss Luo Ning is the daughter of the former governor of Jiangsu Province, Mr. Luo Min. She has a noble status. As a servant, can you also get acquainted with her?"
"Hahahaha—" Lin Wanrong suppressed a smile and said: "Being a servant? How much? Why does Miss Luo never treat me like a servant? Earn money by working hard by yourself. Eat with your own hands. Why do you feel inferior? This The young master divides people into three, six, and nine grades, which is really against the Buddha's precept that all living beings are equal, I suggest you go to the Jade Buddha Temple in the north of the city to do meritorious deeds."
Mr. Ye never thought that a servant would have such a sharp mouth. I was stunned for a moment, then shook my head and said, "It's not up to you to decide whether it is divided into grades, grades, grades, grades, grades, grades, or grades. It's not up to me. I'm comfortable with people's hearts. I won't quarrel with you, so as not to lose my identity."
Lin Wanrong shook his head and said nothing, this guy doesn't feel good about himself, for the sake of the eldest lady today, I don't bother arguing with you, leave!
As he was about to leave, Miss Xu raised her eyebrows lightly, took a few steps lightly and said, "Jade Buddha Temple? You know the Jade Buddha Temple?"
With these few steps, she was walking in front of Lin Wanrong. Lin Wanrong looked up and was stunned.
I saw this Miss Xu in her twenties, with a slim figure and a graceful figure, with snow-skinned cherry lips, almond eyes and peach cheeks. Although there was no smile on her face, there was an indescribable calmness and composure standing at him. in front of you. Lin Wanrong was in a daze. Apart from being amazed at her beauty, she was even more amazed at the temperament of this woman. This is a kind of calmness full of confidence and a real intellectual beauty.
Being stared at by Lin Wanrong like this, Ms. Xu was not annoyed, and said lightly: "Can you tell the little girl how you know about the Jade Buddha Temple?"
"Cough, this—" Lin Wanrong had some bad feelings in his heart, and hurriedly took two steps back: "The old people in Beijing, who don't know the Jade Buddha Temple? I also heard about it from an elder sister."
Miss Xu shook her head slightly and said, "People in the world only know about the Temple of the Reclining Buddha, but not the Temple of the Jade Buddha! The Reclining Buddha is carved from uncut jade, and few people in Beijing know about it."
"Miss, everyone has eyes, and you are not the only one who is good at observation." Lin Wanrong said.
Ms. Xu nodded slightly: "Master, you really have sharp eyes. Then, sir, did you go to the Jade Buddha Temple yesterday?"
"Yesterday? It was raining like yesterday, why should I go to the Jade Buddha Temple!" Lin Wanrong said righteously, with a hint of determination flashing in his eyes.
Miss Xu stared at his eyes for a long time before she said, "Do you know what happens to the eyeballs when a person tells a lie?"
"I don't know, my eyeballs haven't moved!" Lin Wanrong said seriously.
Ms. Xu gave a faint oh, and said expressionlessly: "Catching up with you, and then dumping you, this is my goal. Young master, can you please learn this sentence again?"
Cold sweat, layer upon layer of cold sweat, even Lin Wanrong, a well-tested black scholar, didn't know what to do.
