Lu Chi's handsome and gentle face was slightly distorted.
Lin Weiwei burst into laughter, and went to Lu Chi's side, with a smart and charming look on his face: "I'm just teasing you on purpose, you shouldn't take it seriously!"
Lu Chi's heart softened halfway, but his face was still tense: "Then tell me, will you go with me to my post?"
Lin Weiwei took the initiative to put her arms around Lu Chi and said softly: "Brother Lu, of course I want to be with you day and night. However, you have just arrived in Shu and know nothing about the situation in Nan'an County. You must be very busy when you go to work.
"
"I have a delicate body, and Brother You needs more careful care. I really can't bear that you have to take care of our mother and son when you are busy with official duties."
"So, I'm thinking of staying in Prince Shu's Mansion first. Sister Xie is here, and we, mother and son, don't need you to worry. You have no distractions and can concentrate on doing things."
After saying this, Lin Weiwei felt a little guilty and apologetic: "After a woman gets married, she should take care of her husband's food, clothing, and daily life. When I come here, you are the one who has been taking care of me. Brother Lu, I am really sorry for you."
She was frail and spoiled since she was a child. After marrying Lu Chi, she did not act like a "good wife", but she had to worry about and take care of her everywhere.
"Si Weiwei," Lu Chi's heart was burning, and he bent down and kissed her on the forehead: "Being able to marry you is the greatest blessing in my life. If I say I'm sorry, it's also me who can't forgive you. If it weren't for me
If you were blind and gullible, you wouldn't have suffered so many grievances and almost died in childbirth."
This is the deepest knot in Lu Chi's heart.
A day without avenging blood will never bring peace of mind.
Lin Weiwei's eyes filled with tears and her voice was slightly choked: "Brother Lu, being able to marry you is the luckiest thing in my life."
The couple was angry for a while, but within half a day they reconciled.
Lu Chi went to see Xie Mingxi in person and bowed solemnly: "I will entrust Weiwei and Brother You to the princess."
Xie Mingxi refused to accept this gift and turned away from her: "Lu Chi, what you said is too unruly. Sister Lin and I have known each other since we were young and have had an inseparable relationship. She is willing to stay with me in the palace, and it's not too late for me to be happy.
"
"Leave this aside. You have traveled thousands of miles to follow Your Majesty to the land of Shu. It is only natural for me, the Princess of Shu, to settle your family for you."
"Just go to Nan'an to take up your post with peace of mind. I will definitely take good care of Sister Lin and Brother You."
"After a year or two, you will have taken care of everything in office, and Brother You is getting older. It won't be too late for Sister Lin to take Brother You to Nan'an."
Lu Chi had the same plan, and upon hearing this, his heart completely fell back to its original position.
…
Everyone went to take office one after another, but the Prince of Shu's palace was not deserted.
Sheng Hong, the king of Shu, is in charge of Shu County. Officials in Shu County must seize the opportunity to show their hospitality. Those who submit their names are like the ministers who have crossed the river.
As for the wealthy businessmen and local gentry, they wanted to curry favor but were not qualified to visit them, so they retreated to the next best thing and instead paid homage to Shu King Chang Shi or Xie Yuanzhou, the Mei brothers.
As the princess of Shu, Xie Mingxi has a lot of leisure time. Officials and women come to visit them. If they want to see them, they can see them. If they don't, they can be sent away...
In the land of Shu, they were the oldest couple. The capital was thousands of miles away, and neither the emperor nor the queen mother were too far away. At most, they could only put some spies around them.
No wonder the emperors of all dynasties did not want to see the vassal king. This is no different from walking away from a piece of land.
A life that is busy, fulfilling, and in a good mood naturally makes people physically and mentally happy.
In just one month, Xie Mingxi has fully recovered, her complexion is rosy, and her eyes are full of energy, which is still three points better than before.
Gu Shanchang, who was slightly thin but also slightly plump, said with a smile: "When I first came to Sichuan, I was really not used to eating spicy food. It has only been a month, but I have gradually started to feel that it has a different flavor."
Every day's meals were cooked by Ye Qiuniang herself, and the taste was light. However, there were several banquets held in the mansion, and the cooks from Shu were in charge.
After several banquets, Gu Shanchang gradually adapted to the local flavor of Shu.
Xie Mingxi pursed her lips and smiled: "I can barely eat some. Maybe, after living here for a few years, we will become more and more happy!"
Gu Shanchang burst into laughter: "This shows that human adaptability is the most terrifying."
Lin Weiwei, who was on the side, interrupted with a smile: "By the way, when will the Shanzhang's Girls' Academy be opened?"
It takes a year or two to select a site to build an academy. A wealthy businessman dedicated his own courtyard to be used as an academy. Master Gu visited it in person and was quite satisfied with the environment, so he decided to recruit students first.
, open the academy.
There is no need to rush into building another academy or nursing home. It is not too late to build slowly after a suitable location has been selected.
Gu Shanchang smiled and said: "Several masters also feel that they are too free, so they discussed it with me a few days ago. First, write a few notices to recruit students, and see how many students sign up."
The exam is definitely required.
However, the land of Shu is not as good as the capital city. It has not yet become a common practice for women to study. In the huge Shu county, there is only one women's academy, and it only accepts wealthy officials.
Gu Shan thought about it for a long time and decided to set up a civilian women's academy first to recruit more students. It only offered three-year courses, and the curriculum was shallow. In this way, the admissions standards would naturally be greatly lowered.
"Students who enroll must be over eight years old." Xie Mingxi smiled and continued: "As long as you have read the Three-Character Classic, Hundreds of Surnames, and Thousand-Character Essay, you can come to register. As for the test paper, it should be simpler. If you can read,
Just be able to write."
This standard is really low enough.
Lin Weiwei couldn't help but smile and sigh: "Back then, we spent a lot of effort to get into Lianchi Academy."
Isn't it?
Xie Mingxi smiled teasingly and said: "Especially Sister Lin, who passed out outside the Lotus Pond Academy for three years. If she hadn't met me, I might not have had the chance to attend the Lotus Pond College."
Thinking about the past, Lin Weiwei's eyes flashed with a smile.
It was that encounter that made her and Xie Mingxi meet and become good friends.
In the blink of an eye, it was already a few years ago.
Lin Weiwei sighed a little: "Time is like water, and time flies by. This is true. The scene when you and I met is still vivid in my mind. In the blink of an eye, it has been more than seven years."
Just a few words also evoked Gu Shanchang's longing for his friend.
I wonder how Empress Dowager Yu is doing in the palace...
As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, Gu Shanchang laughed to himself.
As the empress dowager of a dynasty, with power over the six palaces, the emperor and empress bowed their heads in submission. Empress Dowager Li lay on the bed all day long, motionless, like a wood sculpture, and could no longer threaten Empress Dowager Yu in the slightest.
Empress Dowager Yu finally got her wish, wouldn't it be bad?
Don't worry about it yourself.
It's a coincidence.
Chief Gu Shan was thinking about Queen Mother Yu, and within two days, Queen Mother Yu's letter was delivered to the Prince of Shu's Mansion.
