The morning sun was warm, cicadas hung on the treetops and kept chirping, and a carriage came slowly not far away.
Yun Miaomiao packed her things early and waited at the door just to wait for this man.
"Get in the car." Xu Shaoqing glanced at Yun Miaomiao and said simply and concisely.
Yun Miaomiao glanced at Xiaoqi and the others and shook her head, "I'd better walk. This carriage is very bumpy and I can't get used to it."
Xu Shaoqing's eyes gradually darkened and his face became unhappy, "Humph~"
She really couldn't get used to riding in this carriage. She almost had her stomach upset during the previous trip. Yun Miaomiao didn't want to sit in the carriage anymore since the last time she rode in it.
The road from here to the foot of the mountain is not far away. She would rather walk than suffer.
Xiao Qi glanced at Yun Miaomiao and was filled with admiration.
Miss Yun is so amazing. Not only did she cure the young master's inability to eat, but she also dared to refuse him.
God knows that last night, their young master got up in the middle of the night and said he was hungry. He made everyone so happy that he heated up the leftovers that he packed back from Yun Miaomiao yesterday and ate them. If their wife knew about this, they would
The young master will probably cry to death after eating the leftovers.
Xiao Qi sighed in his heart, it was a good thing that his wife was not here, otherwise he would have been beaten.
On the way up the mountain, Yun Miaomiao could see the courtyard that was already somewhat in shape, and her mood rarely improved.
Xu Shaoqing obviously noticed the movement over there. He raised the curtain and looked over, "What are you doing over there?"
He vaguely remembered that when he came here before, it was still a weed field.
Xiao Qi followed his line of sight and looked over, and could vaguely see someone building a house, "Back to the young master, it seems that someone is building a house there. Most of the flat land at the foot of the mountain has been built with houses, and there are still some left.
There is also a shed set up in half of the open space, I don’t know what it is for.”
"Build a house?" Xu Shaoqing snorted, "Who is this brainless person who actually builds a house here? There are mountains here, and the academy is also noisy on the mountain. Even if it is clean, it is not that clean."
Yun Miaomiao, "..."
She still defended herself a few words, "The location here is not too bad. It can be a small manor courtyard. Not only will people who come to the academy have a place to stay, but they can also listen to the sound of reading on the mountain. Wouldn't it be nice?"
Xu Shaoqing glanced at Yun Miaomiao and said, "If you speak for the people on that land like this, wouldn't this place be a good thing you did?"
The eyes are really poisonous.
"It's me." Yun Miaomiao boldly admitted, "I just think this land is good. From now on, I will only do business for rich people like you who come to the academy. My income will not be less than the people in the small town. Is there anything wrong with this?
?"
There was nothing wrong then, but the person who was wrong now looks extremely ugly.
"I want to see what you can do." Xu Shaoqing lowered the curtain, and Yun Miaomiao touched her nose. She was quite looking forward to it.
The carriage can only go to the middle of the mountain, which is where Gu Fengqing and Yun Su took their assessment. From here, go back and start walking.
Xu Shaoqing got off the carriage and straightened his clothes, obviously intending to walk with them.
Yun Miaomiao glanced at his back, she thought the young master would be carried up.
The path up the mountain is very smooth and not too steep. The steps are cut out one by one, so the walk is not tiring.
Both sides of the mountain trail are covered with wild flowers, which are colorful and look particularly beautiful.
[Master, I found wild rushes, one penny per pound, do you want to exchange them? 】
[Master, I found wild mushrooms, which cost three cents per catty, do you want to exchange them? 】
[Master, found wild...]
Yun Miaomiao was originally thinking about admiring the scenery, but the constant mechanical noise in her brain made her brain hurt.
I have to say that what Shopkeeper Fu said is right, there are really treasures everywhere here.
But she is really powerless now. There are so many people here. Even if she wants to pick them up, she doesn't have the ability to dig those things out of the blue.
She could only endure her headache and followed Xu Shaoqing. Finally, after half a day, several people arrived at the gate of the academy.
The four magnificent characters of "Ruizhou Academy" stood in front of several people. Yun Miaomiao thought that the academy was just an ordinary academy with a little more fame, but she didn't expect it to be like this.
There are two large stone lions on both sides of the academy's gate, which are impressive. In the middle of the blue bricks and black tiles is a bright red door. Even the high walls and thick tiles cannot block the sound of reading inside.
Yun Miaomiao only knew that not many people from Yunsu came in, probably less than a hundred people. How many students would such a large academy have to accommodate?
"It turns out that this is Ruizhou Academy." She looked up to the sky and sighed, with a look of surprise on her face, "It is indeed as reported by the outside world, it is extraordinary."
Xu Shaoqing glanced at her, "Ruizhou Academy is the best academic institution in the world. Wouldn't it be very shameful if it were like those villas in the countryside? Xiao Qi, go knock on the door."
Yun Miaomiao was silent. Although Xu Shaoqing's words didn't sound good, the academy was indeed very good. She would feel relieved if Yun Su went to school here.
Soon, an elegantly dressed man came out, bowed to Xu Shaoqing, saluted, and then brought them all in.
The gate of the academy looked very impressive from the outside, but it was even more impressive inside. The watchtowers and jade steps all had a quaint charm, which made her want to calm down and read a few books.
"The dean has been waiting for news about you. Your mother sent a letter saying that you came to the town quietly without telling your family. She only left a letter. She was so worried that she couldn't sleep. The dean knew
You came to the town yesterday, and I wanted to go down the mountain to pick you up, but it was too late, so I had to say I was going down early this morning, but I didn’t expect you to come first."
Yun Miaomiao glanced at Xu Shaoqing. If Xu Shaoqing had not caused trouble in Fuwang Tower yesterday and was delayed somewhere, he would have gone to the academy that day.
That day she clearly met the headmaster of the academy. Yun Miaomiao remembered that the headmaster's surname was Cheng, and the masters did not call him the dean. Could it be that he was not the same person.
[Master, I found wild thousand-year-old ginseng and one thousand taels of gold. Do you want to exchange it? 】
Yun Miaomiao was thinking about something when she was startled by such a mechanical sound.
‘Hiss~’ One thousand taels of gold, she looked around and immediately locked the location of the ginseng.
Did you ask her if she dared to move?
She was so moved that her face burst into tears.
Xu Shaoqing heard the noise and looked back at her. Seeing that no one in front was leaving, Yun Miaomiao pulled her thoughts back.
The master who came to pick him up glanced at Yun Miaomiao. He hadn't heard that Xu Shaoqing had a woman by his side?
Who is this woman?
It seems that Xu Shaoqing cares about this woman quite a lot. It seems that he will have to talk to the dean later.
Xu Shaoqing is not young anymore. He followed the dean and heard a lot about Xu Shaoqing. It is said that there is no roommate around him. In recent years, he has neglected this aspect because of his poor appetite.
On her mind, Mrs. Xu was worried all night long and could not sleep. She was looking forward to Xu Shaoqing coming to the academy so that the dean could enlighten her so that she could put her mind at ease and go back to get married.
"What's wrong?" Seeing two people looking at her, Yun Miaomiao asked without changing her expression.
Xu Shaoqing withdrew his gaze and continued walking forward, "Is uncle's health better?"
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Lan sighed, "It was better originally, but the weather has been getting hotter and hotter these days. The dean's appetite is not very good, and he doesn't sleep as much as before. Naturally, he is a little tired."
"When we meet people later, I'll advise him to eat more." Xu Shaoqing nodded, his body no longer arrogant at all, but more calm.
Yun Miaomiao couldn't help but look at him a few more times. This man seemed to respect the dean here, who was his uncle.
I don't know if Yun Su and Gu Fengqing can see them.
Everyone entered the courtyard of the back mountain with different thoughts. Before anyone got close, Yun Miaomiao smelled the fragrance of plum blossoms wafting from the air. How could there be plum blossoms blooming at this time of year?
She raised her eyes and looked over, and a dazzling red plum blossom came into view. The red flower suddenly appeared, standing out and dazzling among the green.
"Why do these plum blossoms bloom so well?" Yun Miaomiao couldn't help but sigh.
[Master, I found a thousand-year-old plum blossom tree worth ten thousand taels of gold. Do you want to exchange it? 】
