Liang Wensheng and Su Shaowen lived here.
The courtyard originally had a row of exquisite courtyards, which were used to entertain distinguished guests. After being added to the Faculty of Science, it can be used as the residence of the teaching teacher, and there is no need for any additional renovations.
Although the accommodation is nice, there are many craftsmen in the college who are busy going back and forth every day, transplanting flowers and trees, and remodeling walls.
Hua Qingxue was worried that they would be too noisy.
However, Liang Wensheng thought this was pretty good. It was close to Hua Qingxue and it was convenient for everything. He could also see how the college was built with his own eyes and occasionally help out.
The place of residence was decided.
This is the first time for both of them to live in this kind of independent house, with carved railings and jade walls, surrounded by bamboo trees, and has the elegance of a scholar.
Liang Wensheng had been hanging out with craftsmen all year round in the north and was used to being rough. Suddenly living in such a refined place was very unaccustomed to him.
But Su Shaowen liked it very much. He kept looking at it inside and out, and even took Liang Wensheng to the street to decorate the house.
"Junior brother, we men should be eclectic and grand, shall we?"
Liang Wensheng couldn't understand Su Shaowen's enthusiasm for decorating the courtyard. Not only did he buy a set of bowls, chopsticks and cups, but he also carefully selected a pillow.
Su Shaowen pursed his lips and smiled shyly, "Senior brother, do you want to change it? There is cassia seed in this pillow. It will be comfortable to sleep on. Senior brother, if you have a good rest at night, you will be more energetic during the day."
Liang Wensheng rubbed his head and sighed in his heart, this junior brother of his is good at everything, but he lives too meticulously.
Then I thought again, making glassware is a delicate job to begin with, so it’s no wonder that my junior brother is becoming more and more meticulous.
"Okay, listen to junior brother! If junior brother says yes, then of course it's good." Liang Wensheng took the big and small bags from his hands, "Let's go, buy a lot, go back."
"Yes." Su Shaowen followed him happily.
After returning, Lu Zhengqing happened to be there, so Hua Qingxue introduced the two apprentices to Lu Zhengqing, and then let Liang Wensheng and Su Shaowen get familiar with the teaching materials that they had written down a few days ago.
Because they had spent some time together with Hua Qingxue, the two of them knew the Arabic numerals and some formulas in the textbook. They could understand most of them at a glance, which surprised Lu Zhengqing.
It was a rare occasion for the four of them to get together and discuss the issue of textbooks. How to teach, what kind of experiments to prepare, and how to make it easier for students to accept became the main topics of discussion.
Hua Qingxue went back to her days at the Academy of Sciences in a trance.
It's just that at that time, everyone was discussing various project research in meetings, but now they are discussing the popularization of physical and chemical education in middle schools.
Come to think of it, it's quite interesting.
While chatting, there was a sudden commotion outside.
Hua Qingxue heard Huan'er's voice—
"Old madam! You can't go in! My wife will come out to see you after I pass the message!"
Another old female voice sounded: "We are all here, what else do we need to pass on! It's only a few steps away, so it's not too troublesome to pass it around!"
The woman's voice was old and hoarse, but very loud.
Hua Qingxue was curious for a moment and worried that Huan'er wouldn't be able to greet her, so she opened the door.
There were many people outside.
An old woman in gorgeous clothes, a young woman, and many maids and women she didn't know were huffing and puffing around the house.
Huan'er broke out in sweat on a cold day in early winter. She ran to Hua Qingxue and said, "Mrs. Fu from the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion wants to see you. I asked her to wait in the side hall for a while. She didn't Ken…”
Weiyuanhou Mansion
Mrs. Fu
… Isn’t that Fu Tingye’s mother
Hua Qingxue was worried and looked at the menacing old woman in front of her, feeling mixed for a moment.
As a junior, she should be visiting people, but due to various circumstances, now she has to visit her elders in person.
Hua Qingxue felt that she had lost her etiquette and felt a little guilty, so her attitude towards Mrs. Fu became more polite.
"I'm really sorry. I didn't know you were coming and kept you waiting..."
Before Hua Qingxue could even say a few words, Madam Fu suddenly opened her eyes angrily, pointed at the people behind her and shouted: "You stay behind closed doors in the blue sky all day long, just hanging out with these men?! Where do you put my child's face?" !”
Hua Qingxue's face suddenly turned pale. Anyone who was accused so violently would be panicked. Moreover, Hua Qingxue had always been protected and had never had any contact with the complicated interpersonal relationships in the capital.
Lu Zhengqing immediately came out and explained, "Old madam, you have misunderstood. I am only discussing the academy with Mrs. Si Bing. The other two are Mrs. Si Bing's disciples. There is nothing disgraceful to do."
Mrs. Fu didn't believe it at all, and sneered: "What are you discussing and there is no one to serve you? The doors and windows are closed, who knows what you are doing inside!"
She saw that Su Shaowen was handsome again, and her tone became even more sinister: "Mrs. Si Bing's disciple is really good-looking! Could it be that he was specifically selected for that handsome man when he accepted his disciple?"
Su Shaowen turned pale and lowered his head in embarrassment.
Huan'er said angrily: "Old madam, how can you slander me at will?! My wife is weak and the weather is cold now, so of course the doors and windows will be closed!"
Even the good-tempered Lu Zhengqing couldn't bear it, and said righteously: "Old lady, be careful what you say! Don't slander wantonly! If it reaches the general's ears, I'm afraid it will cause unnecessary misunderstandings!"
The young woman next to Mrs. Fu seemed to have some scruples after hearing this. She pulled Mrs. Fu nervously and persuaded: "Aunt, let's go back quickly. It's not good to let the general know..."
Mrs. Fu flicked her sleeves and said angrily: "She is not afraid of melon fields and plum blossoms, but she dares to be locked in a room with a man. How can she be afraid of my son's misunderstanding?"
Hua Qingxue explained with a white face: "Aunt, you really misunderstood, I'm not..."
"Don't call me aunt! I can't afford to be called Mrs. Si Bing!" Mrs. Fu stared at her coldly, with a sinister look on her face, "If I hadn't heard that you and my son were in love with each other, I wouldn't have made this trip. , today is really an eye-opener for me as an old man! It seems that Mrs. Si Bing is no less generous than the princess of the previous dynasty!"
The princess of the previous dynasty loved male pets and kept many handsome men.
Hua Qingxue didn't know, but everyone else here knew, and they all looked extremely ugly!
It just so happens that the other party is Fu Tingye's mother, so she really can't be beaten or scolded!
Cheng Wanmiao seemed to be frightened, and supported Mrs. Fu to persuade her: "Aunt! If you say this, my cousin will be angry if he finds out..."
"What? I can't say what she did?" Mrs. Fu snorted coldly and glanced at Hua Qingxue contemptuously, "According to me, she is not as good as the princess of the previous dynasty. She is a princess after all, she is not What?! You actually want to enter the door of my Fu family, deceive me into being old and want to dirty the place of my Fu family!"
Hua Qingxue's face turned pale and blue after being scolded by her, and she didn't know how to argue.
She was not an eloquent person to begin with, and the other person was Fu Tingye's mother, so she didn't know how to speak.
A group of people came together outside. It was Xi'er who called over the guards Fu Tingye had left in another courtyard.
Because Fu Tingye had promised not to disturb Hua Qingxue, the guards usually patrolled the perimeter. When the old lady came over, they were not prepared.
Who will guard against Fu Tingye's mother
Cheng Wanmiao was worried that the quarrel would not end well, so she persuaded her again: "Aunt, let's go back. Don't be angry. The doctor has told you to rest and not get angry."
Not to mention Cheng Wanmiao, even Hua Qingxue and Lu Zhengqing could see that Mrs. Fu's veins bulged when she was angry, her face was pale, her voice was hoarse and she seemed to be out of breath, and she wished she would pass out at any moment.
If the old lady really fainted, Hua Qingxue would not be able to speak clearly even if she had a hundred mouths to speak!
The world just thought she made the old lady faint!
The captain who led the guards put the matter to rest and respectfully asked the old lady to return home.
Mrs. Fu glanced disdainfully at Hua Qingxue and Liang Wensheng and others beside her, "You don't need to invite me, I will leave naturally! If I stay in such a dirty place for a while, it will dirty my eyes!"
Cheng Wanmiao helped her out, and the maid from the Hou Mansion also followed with lowered eyebrows.
He came in an aggressive manner and left in an aggressive manner.
Seeing these people leaving, Hua Qingxue was stunned for a long time before slowly coming back to her senses.
She looked at Lu Zhengqing apologetically and said softly: "I'm so sorry, but I asked you to come over to discuss the affairs of the academy. I didn't expect that you would be scolded..."
Who doesn’t cherish reputation? Lu Zhengqing, a clean and self-sufficient gentleman, was scolded by Mrs. Fu as Hua Qingxue's concubine.
"It doesn't matter to us, but you must explain it clearly to the general. If there is a grudge due to this, it will be bad." Lu Zhengqing did not hold any resentment, and he knew very well that Hua Qingxue was the most innocent victim of what happened today.
Liang Wensheng and Su Shaowen looked at each other, "We followed the master when we were in Qingzhou. The general also knows it. He won't misunderstand the master just because of this... right?"
Liang Wensheng even brought up the matter of the princess of the previous dynasty raising her face. Liang Wensheng thought it was too ridiculous.
If the general truly believed those words, he would no longer be a general.
Lu Zhengqing let out a long sigh and said with emotion: "I once heard that the old lady of the Hou Mansion was wise, sensible and wise. She endured the pain of losing her husband and her son and kept the Hou Mansion in order. But now I see that it is not so..."
The rest of the people were silent, but they all thought in their hearts that the old woman just now couldn't be compared to the word wise and reasonable. She was just messing around!
Hua Qingxue felt very tired and smiled, "You go back first, we will discuss it another day."
After something like this happened, no one was probably in the mood to continue talking.
Liang Wensheng said: "Master, take a good rest and don't think too much. The general will definitely understand."
"Yeah." Hua Qingxue nodded, smiling weakly.
She believed in Fu Tingye, but... she was a little unsure about how to get along with Mrs. Fu in the future...
Lu Zhengqing bowed his hands and said goodbye, and Liang Wensheng immediately led his junior brother back.
Several people knew very well that staying any longer would only make Hua Qingxue more embarrassed.
On the way, Su Shaowen was in a very depressed mood.
Because of Mrs. Fu's accusation just now, he felt that he had embarrassed his master.
Liang Wensheng had been with him for a long time and knew his junior brother's temperament very well. When he saw that Su Shaowen was unhappy, he already guessed it.
"Don't take it to heart, that crazy woman is biting you randomly." Seeing that he was unhappy, Liang Wensheng deliberately teased him, "But she is very discerning, and I also think that as the master's apprentices, the two of us are really good-looking. .”
Su Shaowen couldn't hold it back and burst into laughter.
