Jiang Huailu coughed awkwardly, not daring to offend Xie Yu'an again, and hurriedly explained his purpose: "Mr. Meng is giving lectures at Yingtian Academy today, I'm here to pick you up."
Qiao Yin listened on the sidelines, and she also knew about Mr. Meng mentioned by Jiang Huairu.
He was a very knowledgeable scholar who was knowledgeable about astronomy and geography. Lu Jinzhi admired him very much. For a while, Qiao Yin asked around for news about this great scholar, and wanted to ask for a calligraphy treasure to be given to Lu Jinzhi. It's just that this great scholar lived in seclusion and his whereabouts were very secretive. Qiao Yin heard a lot of gossip, but he never met the real person.
Hearing that they had something to leave, Qiao Yin was a little disappointed. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly caught Xie Yuan's gaze.
"Do you want to come along?"
Just like the sounds of nature.
Qiao Yin was flattered and said pitifully: "Can I? Yingtian Academy didn't let me in before."
Xie Yuan dismissed it, "Want to go?"
Qiao Yin nodded like a fool. At this critical moment of life and death, she wished she could get along with Xie Yu'an more.
The prince had no objection, and the three of them went to Yingtian Academy together. Qiao Yin was riding in his own carriage, while Xie Yuan and the prince were riding in the same carriage.
On the way, Jiang Huailu couldn't help but mutter: "What's going on? Why did Qiao Yin suddenly follow you? Hasn't she been following Lu Jinzhi all the time? I remember half a month ago, Qiao Yin was still in public. Let’s be honest, she can’t live without Lu Jinzhi. How could she be so shameless and shameless and get stuck with you all of a sudden?”
Xie Yuan felt harsh and solemnly said: "She is not clinging to me, it is me clinging to her."
Jiang Huairu was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud, "Who would believe this? With your life experience, you are a lady in the capital, and you are not allowed to choose. How could you condescend to Qiao Yin...?"
Xie Yu'an thought for a while and said: "A few days ago, I received an express message from the Xie family's caravan from the southern border. It mentioned that the southern border army had won three battles with the Vietnamese army. If nothing happens, Jingan will be defeated soon. The army led by Hou will be able to return to the court with a great victory."
Qiao Yin's father, Qiao Zhendong, was the general who conquered the Yue Kingdom this time. If he returns from the victory, Qiao Zhendong will definitely become the number one general of the Great Zhou Dynasty, commanding a hundred thousand troops in the southern border. Then Qiao Yin's net worth will naturally rise.
Jiang Huailu turned around and looked at Xie Yu'an in disbelief: "Did you take the initiative to approach Qiao Yin in order to win over Marquis Jing'an?"
Xie Yuan was unconvinced.
Jiang Huailu's expression darkened and he said, "How could I be so virtuous and capable as to make you sacrifice so much?"
"You think too much. I want to do it for the Xie family."
Xie Yu'an looked out the window. Outside the gap in the slightly swaying curtains, Qiao Yin's carriage happened to pass by.
Qiao Yin was very excited in the carriage, and Bizhu couldn't help but said: "Miss, you are really shameless and studious. A trip to the academy can make you so happy."
Qiao Yin smiled broadly. She was not interested in the academy. She was excited about getting along with Xie Yuan. Of course, she was also happy to be able to enter Yingtian Academy.
This Yingtian Academy is the best academy in the capital. It brings together talented people from all over the world as teachers, and often invites various great Confucian scholars to give lectures in the academy. The children of aristocratic families in Beijing are proud to study in Yingtian Academy.
There is an unwritten rule in the academy that anyone who wants to enter the academy must face the pair at the door.
Xue Wanran, the daughter of the dean of Yingtian Academy, was her sworn enemy. She used chicken feathers as arrows and made things difficult for her every time. Every time it was Lu Jinzhi and the others who went in, she could only be stopped outside, which was so embarrassing.
After a while, the carriage stopped, and the noise of carriages and horses came from all around.
Qiao Yin opened the curtain and looked outside. The carriages had arrived at the academy. There were many carriages parked at the entrance of Yingtian Academy, and there was an endless stream of people coming to listen to the lecture.
Qiao Yin was about to get out of the car when Xie Yuan stood in front of the car's shaft and held up the curtain for her.
"Qiao Yin." He called her name softly.
This seemed to be the first time Xie Yuan called her name. Qiao Yin had never thought her name sounded so nice before, until she heard his call.
Her heartbeat skipped a beat for no apparent reason, and she looked up at him blankly.
Xie Yu'an holds the curtain with one hand and holds the other behind his back. He is a gentleman and is a pleasure to watch just standing.
"Follow me, Yingtian Academy will naturally not dare to stop you, but I still want to ask you, do you want to go in openly?"
Qiao Yin was stunned, his heart pounding as if he had been stabbed by something. Of course she wanted to rely on her own ability to walk in openly, but...
"I'm not very good with couples." Qiao Yin lowered his eyes and suddenly felt inferior in front of Xie Yu'an.
Just listen to Xie Yuan's voice blowing into her ears like spring breeze and rain.
"There are specialties in the arts. It doesn't matter if you don't know the pairs. There are six arts: etiquette, music, archery, charioteering, calligraphy, and counting. You only need to have one specialty. Of course, you can also make snacks. Yingtian Academy also has a refreshment gentleman."
Is this still possible? It turns out that the entrance examination only includes pairs?
She had come with Lu Jinzhi so many times, but Lu Jinzhi had never told her that this was okay.
Qiao Yin's eyes widened and he raised his hands like a primary school student answering a question, "Count, I choose to count, I'm okay at counting."
Xie Yu'an looked at her wide-open eyes and her little hands raised high, as if she was ready for battle, and couldn't help but smile.
He stood under the carriage and stretched out his hand towards her, "Then I'll wait and see."
Qiao Yin stretched out her hand, put her hand in his palm, and let him help her get out of the carriage.
His palm was wide and warm, and Qiao Yin almost drowned in Xie Yuan's tenderness.
"Isn't that Qiao Yin?"
As soon as Lu Jinzhi got off the carriage, he heard Chu Wenjing's exclamation. When he looked up, he happened to see Qiao Yin supporting Xie Yuan's carriage. He felt an inexplicable stab in his heart, especially when he saw Qiao Yin's smiling eyebrows.
Qiao Yin hadn't had enough fun and was still with Xie Yu'an.
"What is she here for? Yoho, she wants to challenge the entry level, can she do it?"
Chu Wenjing couldn't help but exclaimed when he saw Qiao Yin and Xie Yu'an separated from each other and walking towards the concierge of the academy alone, seemingly asking for assessment questions.
"Xie Yu'an walked in directly without Qiao Yin?"
Lu Jinzhi looked solemn and blurted out: "Who would want to bring in a white guy who is illiterate in writing?"
He didn't want to, and Xie Yu'an definitely didn't want to. Qiao Yin would be humiliating himself by showing up here.
Lu Jinzhi looked at Qiao Yin, waiting to see Qiao Yin's joke.
Over there, Qiao Yin explained the purpose of his visit to the people in the academy, but as soon as he finished speaking, he saw Xue Wanran shouting and screaming.
"Isn't this Qiao Yin? I didn't hear clearly just now. What does Miss Qiao want to do? Want to challenge the entry qualification?"
Xue Wanran deliberately raised the volume and successfully attracted the attention of everyone at the door.
Qiao Yin looked at Xue Wanran's exaggerated expression and said calmly: "Yes, I'm here to challenge."
"Ha ha ha ha." .Don’t be embarrassed here.”
Seeing this, Jiang Huailu, who was not far away, pushed Xie Yuan and urged: "Ayu, people are being ridiculed like this, why don't you take action?"
Xie Yuan looked at Qiao Yin's back and said calmly, "She doesn't need it."
