That door looked newly opened.
The last time Chen Gui came here, the walls were still flat.
When I walked through it, I saw that the yard next door was neatly tidied.
Jing Dafan greeted the two of them cheerfully: "Princess Princess, Chen Dongjia, long time no see, long time no see."
It hadn't been half a day since he returned to Beijing, but Jing Dafan wasted no time in explaining all the events of the past few days from Shenchen's mouth.
From digging for gold bricks to burying banned books, to the Duke’s visit to Uncle Chengyi’s house a few days ago, I understand everything.
At the same time, while Shen Chen was worried about the Duke's leg injury, Jing Dabao was thinking about something else.
If you don't want others to enter the study, and you don't want to climb the stairs and be scolded by the princess, why don't you arrange another room to shelter from the wind and rain?
Otherwise, given the Duke's temperament of not wanting others to see his illness, he could still sit on the stone bench in the yard even if he didn't take the stairs.
It's a matter of lighting a brazier and holding a hand stove.
After all, the princess is so delicate, how can she be blown away by the cold wind?
If the princess catches a cold while discussing matters here, the Duke of the country will not be able to escape the blame.
The door opens well and the yard is beautifully laid out.
Jing Dafan invited the two of them into the house: "I heard from Nanny He that this place has just been cleaned up and it looks empty. Princess, please take a seat."
Lin Yunyan looked around, and finally landed on Xu Jian.
Xu Jian sat at the round table with a blanket on her legs and a hand stove, which looked quite warm.
Lin Yunyan's brows relaxed a little: OK, just know the severity.
All parties took their seats.
Things are said quickly.
The progress of the renovation of Laoshi Alley was better than Jing Daguan expected, and the furniture that was scheduled to be moved in was also progressing smoothly and was delivered on time.
Jing Daduan rubbed his hands and said: "Students are arriving in Beijing one after another, and there are more and more poetry societies. Taking this opportunity, we will conduct more inspections. If we can gather as many outstanding candidates as possible in our Lao Shi Alley..."
"Shuntian Mansion still has the final say on how to arrange the candidates," Chen Guidao said, "I'm afraid we still have to go through some tricks."
"I have an idea here," Lin Yunyan had already thought of it. "My study shop still lacks a reputation. This way..."
Chen Gui listened to her with his ears pricked up, nodded repeatedly, and finally said: "I will go to the Yamen as soon as possible to complete the formalities, then prepare a batch of better study rooms, find more academies to cooperate, and make my name known. "
The students competed and some prizes were used as jackpots, which was also good.
Not only for future business, but also not too conspicuous, so that you can also contact more candidates.
Jing Daduan also thinks this is a good idea, but...
It's just that they have been talking for a long time, and the Duke of Guo actually showed his hands away from the shopkeeper and leaned back in his chair with his eyes closed to meditate.
Tsk tsk!
If you really don’t want to participate, why don’t you just let them go to the private room on the second floor to discuss it?
Where is the use of this?
Jing Dafan knew it well and hurriedly put his arm around Chen Gui's shoulders. The two brothers were very kind: "Dong Chen's family, let's go discuss how many study rooms are suitable."
Chen Gui glanced at Lin Yunyan.
Lin Yunyan smiled and nodded at him.
Chen Gui then got up and followed Jing Dafan to the next door.
When it comes to doing business, the masters give the ideas, and the people who handle these details are in charge of them.
If the master has to worry about even the details, things will not be done well.
As soon as the two hosts left, Shen Chen refilled his tea and left.
Xu Jian slowly opened her eyes.
Then, he met Lin Yunyan's smiling eyes.
Their eyes met, Xu Jian didn't move away, she just said slowly and leisurely: "Why are you laughing?"
"Be careful not to let the Liu family plot against you," Lin Yunyan said. "The Duke is kind-hearted and even reminded my father."
Xu Jian raised his eyebrows.
It seems that the anger that the little princess was holding in Cining Palace that day still had some sparks left.
Laughter is a smile, and there is no lack of yin and yang.
"My father-in-law was younger than me when I wrapped my legs, and Liu Xun was the one who quacked," Xu Jian clicked his tongue, "but it was me who suffered an unreasonable disaster."
Lin Yunyan tapped her fingertips on the table: "It's quite quick to avoid disasters."
She was referring, of course, to the room where the table was.
Xu Jian took a sip of tea: "This house is empty, so I'll just ask He Rui to come over."
He Rui is the shopkeeper of Taohe Zhai.
Putting down the tea cup, Xu Jian said again: "If you ask Chen Gui to find more poetry gatherings, it won't be just about looking for talents, right?"
The topic turned to serious matters, so the verbal exchange was put aside for the time being.
Lin Yunyan did not deny it.
She still remembered the names of Enke, the former top pick, and the second and third overall picks. Even if she couldn't remember clearly, Xu Jian must have remembered more when he was still in court during those years.
Finding someone doesn't require much effort on her part.
Her real purpose lies with Liu Xun.
Liu Xun almost became famous before Enke.
Although he did not take the exam, he showed his talents in several poetry meetings before the exam. Several of his articles were quite brilliant, which won the appreciation of the Imperial College officials and allowed him to successfully enter the Imperial College in the spring.
With the guidance of the director, Liu Xun did not lose sight of him after becoming a supervisor. He ranked among the best in several examinations as a supervisor.
Liu Jingde has such a talented son, his face is full of glory.
Gradually, she began to feel more and more "pity" for Xu Jian, who was brought back to the Duke's mansion, and attributed the rift between father and son to the old Duke's tough decision.
According to Liu Jing, although he could not teach his sons martial arts, if Xu Jian had also taken the path of writing articles, he would not have been in a wheelchair at a young age...
Lin Yunyan later asked Xu Jian, was Liu Xun really a scholar?
Xu Jian answered meaningfully.
Inexplicably, he couldn't read, and yet he somehow became enlightened.
Therefore, Lin Yunyan just wanted to try to see how Liu Xun's brain opened up.
"You can't really be turned into gold by Master Si Ye, right?" Lin Yunyan asked.
With such an incoherent question, only Xu Jian knew what she was talking about.
After thinking for a while, Xu Jian said: "Then I'll give you another piece of news. Liu Xun brought back a woman named Yue Niang. She originally wanted to stay in the house, but Liu Jing kicked her out and placed her in Shuixian Alley."
Lin Yunyan frowned.
Why didn't she know about Yue Niang before? Did Liu Xun abandon that woman because he wanted to marry Zheng Liu?
Xu Jian added: "Let me ask a few questions and find out that the woman has some relationship with the mountain chief of Shiyang Academy, and the mountain chief and Si Ye are old friends."
Lin Yunyan laughed: "Then I will ask Chen Gui to go to Shiyang Academy to add more luck."
If you have real ability, you will know if you try it.
After finishing the matter, Lin Yunyan stood up and left.
Before she reached the door, someone behind her called out "Ayan."
The steps suddenly stopped, and Lin Yunyan was a little dazed for a moment, but soon, familiarity and habits followed.
Lin Yunyan looked back at Xu Jian and asked him with her eyes.
"It's nothing important," Xu Jian looked calm and just chuckled, "I originally wanted to say don't make a big fight every time I attack. I'm afraid Master Shan hasn't recovered yet. Thinking about it again, Liu Xun We are so weak that if we can’t get together, we won’t be able to fight in a big battle.”
Lin Yunyan blinked her eyes.
Thinking of the great battle she had created in the past, she couldn't help but smile and her eyes rolled up.
After laughing for a while, Lin Yunyan pushed the door open and went out.
Facing the cold wind, she suddenly remembered.
In the past, Xu Jian changed his tune after his title was revoked and he could no longer be called a princess.
Now, she is still the princess.
Being so busy with the joke, she actually forgot to ask Xu Jian why she called her name for no reason.
