In the next few days, Jingpingyuan was busy with the wedding of Jiubian and Sun Xiang. Aunt Shi Liu took people to decorate the new yard. Su Wan went to see it in person. The whole hall was full of joy and bustle, and it was well done. Very good.
The conditions are here, and the yard is only so big, so we can only do our best to do better.
Shi Chongshan went to Guiyan City, talked for a long time with the people who came to persuade Shiqiao Academy, and told them his and Dean Shi's plans.
The expansion of Stone Bridge Academy will begin around now, but this expansion cannot be completed overnight. Students will not be recruited until after the autumn harvest, and the number of students recruited must be controlled within two hundred.
The two parties discussed and decided that the number of students who could participate in the imperial examination was set at 100, and the remaining 100 students were recruited for younger students. If there were too many students, they could be admitted through examinations.
The other party agreed, and also helped solve the gentleman's problem by the way, and recommended four gentlemen to come over. Shi Chongshan naturally agreed, and after returning, they discussed how to expand the academy.
Li Lin, Dean Shi and Shi Chongshan talked about some good teaching methods, and handed over the design drawings for the expansion of the academy to Su Wan.
Su Wan was shocked: "Leave it to me?"
"This is not Madam's old profession. Even though it has been so many years, I have never forgotten it." He said lightly, "Just draw a decoration for them casually."
"Did you make something wrong?" Su Wan thought to himself, thinking that back then I was just a decorator, not an architectural designer!
"That's about it." Li Lin didn't care, "It doesn't allow for finesse, and they don't have money to ask for help."
Su Wan thought about it, and it seemed that it was not impossible. If the drawing was too detailed, she really couldn't do it, but it was still okay to draw the frame. Anyway, these buildings were all the same, so it was okay to build them like this.
And... she had nothing to do, and her hands were a little itchy, so it seemed good to do something.
"That's okay." She carefully looked through the requirements recorded above.
Li Lin said: "I will give you the original academy drawing. I have also asked people to measure the location where it can be expanded. I can give it to you tomorrow. In addition, I have to leave space for possible expansion in the future."
"No problem, just leave it to me."
After thinking about it, she added: "I will go to the academy to have a look when I have time. Only after I have seen it will I know what to do."
Li Lin reached out and pulled a strand of hair by her ear: "So happy?"
Su Wan frowned: "It's quite fun, and I like it very much."
In her opinion, the interiors are all the same and have fixed frames. Each design seems to have been moved here and there. It is a bit boring if it is done too much, but it is not as interesting as architecture and gardens.
If the space is small, plant a pine tree. If the space is large, plant a plum forest and then plant a field of flowers. It will be interesting.
Li Lin smiled: "We will get married tomorrow at the end of the day. I will accompany you the day after tomorrow. Write these things down then. You can think about them on the way to pass the time. Maybe by the time we get to the Western Wei Dynasty, this matter will be finished. .”
Su Wan felt a little uncomfortable when talking about the nine-bian marriage: "You said, do we really want to sit in the high hall?"
Speaking of which, at such a young age, it was a bit awkward for her to sit in a high hall and be worshiped by others.
"Why can't I sit still? After careful calculation, I can still be regarded as his master, and I can also accept his worship."
Jiubian was wandering in his early years. He could not remember the names of his parents, and he had never thought about it. He did not even think about paying homage to the memorial tablet. Because the marriage was in a hurry, people from the other side of the city could not come. Can't find one.
Now that they are here as husband and wife, and Jiu Bian has come to invite them in person, he can naturally take that seat.
Su Wan was helpless: "But I always feel a little embarrassed."
She was still young and didn't want to be a high-ranking person. Back then, every time Tong Ling'er called her aunt, she subconsciously wanted to touch her face to see if there were any wrinkles.
"How could that happen? You are Mrs. Li, so sit down and sit down with confidence."
Su Wan glanced at him: "Anyway, it doesn't matter to you. I'm the only one who feels awkward."
Li Lin advised: "So Madam, just sit down and sit upright. Anyway, this scene will probably not happen less in the future."
Su Wan: "..."
Speaking of which, most of the people around Li Lin have neither father nor mother. If they really want to get married, it is not impossible to invite their queen and mother to come and sit in the high hall.
Su Wan really wanted to faint.
Since there is no way to change, we can only bite the bullet.
She bit her lip and said, "If that's the case, then that's the only way it can be."
Li Lin smiled: "Thank you for your hard work, madam. I will ask Jiubian to give you a thank you gift later."
Su Wan breathed a sigh of relief: "Then I will wait for his thank you gift. I must ask him to give me a good one."
"Yes, if the gift is not satisfactory, I will beat him up for Madam."
Su Wan then laughed: "There's no need to beat someone up. You're right, we can also sit in his high hall. If it were somewhere else, it would be a good thing to invite the master and the queen to sit in the high hall when we get married. "
"And Jiubian can come to invite us because he respects and recognizes us."
"That's what the lady said."
The couple discussed it, and Li Lin went back to his business. Su Wan sat in the room and looked at the information he had obtained, thinking about how to design the expansion of the academy.
Time passed slowly, and when the sun set, the people who went to make beds in the new yard came back.
Aunt Shi Liu, Madam Zhang and Xiao Sang went there together, and now they are back together.
Aunt Shi Liu said: "Princess, everything has been packed. Now only the fruits have not been put on the table. I will go earlier tomorrow morning and just take someone to put them on the table."
"I have already ordered everyone who will come to help tomorrow..."
Su Wan listened to their report for a while and then asked them to go back and rest. Xiao Sang stayed to help her organize her things. After they were sorted, it was almost time for the evening meal.
Su Wan saw that she had been busy all day, so he said to her: "You should go back and rest. You have some things to help with tomorrow, but don't make yourself too tired."
Xiao Sang hesitated for a while and asked her: "Madam, do you really want to sit in the high hall?"
Su Wan nodded: "There is nothing we can do about it. Your young master is the master of the family, and he came to invite him personally. Putting aside personal feelings, Jiubian has made a lot of money for the Li family in these years. This always gives him face." It’s meant to be given.”
After saying that, she stretched out her hand to touch her face and sighed:
"Although I am young, doing this really feels like I want to be someone else's mother-in-law, but think about it, as long as I am not embarrassed, it will be others who are embarrassed, and it won't be a big deal if I stabilize myself."
