Since returning from Jade Buddha Temple, Lin Wanrong's mood was much better than before. Although he didn't find Qing Xuan, at least he knew that Crouching Buddha Temple was Jade Buddha Temple. Qing Xuan didn't lie to him. The appointment on the seventh day of the seventh month, although it was still far away, as long as he worked hard, he might be able to meet Qing Xuan sooner.
Grand Mistress saw him running back dripping wet, but his face was beaming with joy. It was the complete opposite of the situation when he left. She couldn't help but say, "You're still so happy after being drenched in the rain? Is Crouching Buddha Temple the place you're looking for? "
Lin Wanrong nodded and smiled, "Speaking of which, I really have to thank Sister Song. Without her, I don't know when I would have found it."
Grand Mistress softly grunted and whispered, "Are you looking for that place to find Miss Qing Xuan? Have you found her? "
Lin Wanrong sighed, "I haven't found her yet, but one day I will find her. You also know that there is nothing in this world that I, Lin San, can't do. "
"You're bragging!" Grand Mistress snorted, "Miss Qing Xuan treats you with deep affection. When you find her, you must treat her well. For a woman to meet someone she loves in this world is the fortune of three lifetimes. Don't hurt her heart."
Lin Wanrong looked up and down at Xiao Yuruo and laughed, "Grand Mistress, are these words really coming out of your mouth? Why are you so different from before? "
Xiao Yuruo rolled her eyes at him and didn't continue. She softly said, "Quickly go in and change your wet clothes. I'll ask Sister Song to make some ginger soup. Don't catch a cold. Tomorrow morning, Sister Song and I will visit the big families in the capital. You can send Yushuang to Jinghua Academy. Niangqin has already told you. You can send her there. Remember, don't stir up trouble. "
"Don't stir up trouble." This sentence had become the mantra that the Grand Mistress exhorted him every time before he went out. He didn't go looking for trouble, but trouble came looking for him. It had become a habit, and everyone was used to it.
After listening to the Grand Mistress's words, Lin Wanrong suddenly realized that tomorrow was the 17th day of the first lunar month. Jinghua Academy was about to start school, and Second Miss could be considered a "university student" in this era. It was really a cause for celebration.
After dinner and a hot bath, her body, which had been cold from the heavy rain, regained its vitality. Grand Mistress was still in the living room with Auntie Song, preparing the gifts for tomorrow's visit. Seeing that the Second Miss' room was brightly lit, he sneaked up to Yushuang's room and gently knocked on the door and said, "Second Miss, Second Miss …"
Yushuang's voice was heard, "Come in quickly, the door isn't locked!"
With a creak, he pushed the door open and entered. The lights in the room were warm, and Second Miss was busy putting things into the box. There were clothes, toys, and snacks. They were all things that young girls liked. After that, she put in the four treasures of the study, and even some perfume and soap. It looked like she was going on a long journey. Seeing this familiar scene, Lin Wanrong vaguely recalled the scene of her mother packing her luggage for her on the night before she went to the university. Her lush lustful heart calmed down instantly, and she felt extremely warm in her heart. She walked to Yu Shuang's side and said, "Have you packed everything? Don't leave anything behind. "
Second Miss said, "Do you think I'm like you, forgetful! Everything that should be brought is listed on the paper, and nothing is missing. " She turned around and held his hand, "The weather is gloomy today, and you didn't even bring an umbrella. What are you going to do if you get a gonorrhea?"
This girl has the potential to be a little housekeeper. Lin Wanrong smiled and scratched her little nose. She glanced at the box and said, "You brought so many things with you. Do you really want to move? We are all in the capital, and you come back every ten days to half a month. We will also prepare some things for you, and send them over. Won't it save a lot of trouble? " Seeing the weak Yushuang packed so many things, he felt like sending a child to school, even though the one standing in front of him was his wife, who he had already decided on a hundred times.
Second Miss looked at him, and firmly shook her head, "No! I went to the academy to learn skills. If I come back every ten days to half a month, how can I have the mood to study hard? Plus, you, a bad person, are here. I'm afraid that when I come back, I won't want to go back. Bad person, you and elder sister have to promise me that after I enter the academy, you won't come to see me. I want to put all my attention on my studies. You also said that I am still young, and I can still learn a lot of things. In the future, I can help elder sister, and also help you. Lin San, can you promise me? "
Lin Wanrong was stunned for a moment. This girl's mind was so firm. He had underestimated her in the past, and almost cultivated her into a vase.
"Yushuang, let's sit down and have a good talk." He nodded, and said with unprecedented seriousness, "I already said that I will send you to Jinghua Academy, but I still don't know what you are going to learn."
Second Miss smiled mischievously, "I am going to learn some poetry and painting. I see that you seem to know a lot of these things. When I finish learning, I will definitely beat you in the future!"
Lin Wanrong smiled bitterly, "Why do you want to learn these things? Can poetry and painting help the Grand Mistress, help me? Talented Lady Luo is enough for me. If you learn these things, in the future, our family will only hear the dialogue between the two of you. Your husband, I will have to stay away from you. "
Second Miss giggled, "I am a girl, and I don't want to learn poetry. Then what do you want me to learn?"
Lin Wanrong thought for a moment, "Is there anything like arithmetic and addition? You can learn how to keep accounts. In the future, when your husband's business grows, you can be the chief accountant and be in charge of the Lin family's accounts."
"What do you mean by chief accountant?" Yushuang blinked her big eyes and asked.
"Oh, this chief accountant is, is, is the one who keeps accounts," he explained randomly.
Second Miss covered her mouth and laughed, "Alright, in the future, I will be the one who keeps accounts with you, hehe!"
These words sounded awkward, and he couldn't help but laugh, "Although that's the case, I have never been to Jinghua Academy. Do they only learn poetry and painting? I wonder if there is a subject that specializes in learning arithmetic? "
Yu Shuang nodded and said with a chuckle, "You underestimate this Jinghua Academy too much. This is the highest hall of China's students. Not only does it teach arithmetic, but it also trains generals and strategists. As for the poetry and painting you mentioned, there is no need to mention it. As long as you are willing, you can choose any one of them to study. "
Lin Wanrong was also surprised. If that was the case, then Jinghua Academy was really a comprehensive, all-rounded, and hybrid university. Not only did it have a Faculty of Arts and Faculty of Science, it even had a military training class. He had underestimated this place in the past.
"Then what did you choose?" Lin Wanrong asked with a smile. It couldn't be a military subject, right? Was the Lin family going to have another female general?
Second Miss smiled slightly. From a brand new bag wrapped in red cloth, she took out a small and exquisite object and shook her wrist lightly. The beads on the object rattled, "Hehe, Lin San, do you know what this is?"
Lin Wanrong laughed heartily, "Sweetheart, so you were prepared. We really have telepathy. In the future, the chief accountant of the Lin family will be none other than you."
"You're so annoying. Nonsense!" Second Miss blushed. Her jade-like fingers gently moved the object a few times, and the beads on the object rattled. Yushuang said, "I saw this thing from someone else. I also saw it from someone else. I heard that it's very useful in accounting. It wasn't easy for me to find one. But not many people know how to use it. I wonder if the teachers in Jinghua Academy know how to teach this? "
"They don't, but your hubby knows! Isn't it just abacus! " Lin Wanrong chuckled and took the small abacus. He gently moved it a few times, saying, "Three and five to two, four and five to one, — —"
Yushuang was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth, "Scoundrel, you, where did you learn this? I haven't seen many people in Jinling who know how to use this abacus! What secret are you mumbling — — so you are the chief accountant! "
Sweat, I am not an accountant, I just learned it in primary school. But seeing Yushuang's shocked expression, he was also a little surprised. It seemed that in this era, although the abacus had appeared, it was not widely used. There was also no one who had summarized the abacus formula. He wondered if there were any experts in Jinghua Academy! Mathematics was the mother of all encyclopedias. It was the cornerstone of natural science. If mathematics could not be developed, then science and technology would be useless.
He couldn't help but scratch his head awkwardly. 'Should I give this abacus formula to Yu Shuang? That way, she might become the number one mathematician in the Chinese Academy of Sciences and bring glory to my family.' But when he saw Yu Shuang's delicate little hands, he calmed down. Forget it, I'll take care of my wife. I'll pass this hard work to someone else. In the future, I'll find someone from Jinghua University who can talk to me and teach me this mnemonic formula. I'll consider it as my contribution to Dahua Mathematics.
Yushuang threw herself into his arms and said softly, "After you send me to Jinghua Academy tomorrow, don't look for me anymore. I won't leave this academy until I have mastered it. "
"I support you, absolutely support you!" Lin Wanrong patted her shoulder and said, "I've always supported my wife who wants to improve!"
Second Miss softly nodded and suddenly asked, "What do you mean by 'five limbs'?"
He laughed a few times and did not answer. The Second Young Mistress sighed and said, "You're having fun outside. It's fine if you have the company of your sisters, but I'm studying hard inside. This longing is like a knife. If I miss you, what should I do?"
"That's easy. I'll draw a portrait of myself. I guarantee I'll be handsome and elegant. You can put it beside your pillow every day and look at it before and after meals. Wouldn't that solve your longing?"
"Who wants to look at you?" Second Miss blushed and said softly, "Then you can draw me too. The two of us will be together forever."
After coming to this completely unfamiliar world, Lin Wanrong never thought that he would one day be able to return to the university campus. But standing in front of the gate of Jinghua Academy, he seemed to have returned to his university days.
Jinghua Academy was the number one academy in China. It was located at the south gate of the capital, opposite the inner court of the palace. The academy was divided into three subjects: poetry, divination, and military theory. The students they recruited were all outstanding talents in various fields. It was said that they had to go through several strict examinations.
Examinations? Lin Wanrong looked at Second Miss who was walking beside him and shook his head helplessly. Entering university through the back door had been a common practice since ancient times.
In China today, academics were more important than martial arts. Most of the students who entered Jinghua Academy were here to learn poetry from famous teachers. Once they were recommended to the imperial court, they would be able to achieve meteoric success. The number of people who studied military theory was relatively small. They were either descendants of aristocratic families or soldiers who had made contributions. They were also a force to be reckoned with.
The weakest were those like Second Miss who studied divination. They didn't have soldiers or power. Not only in Jinghua Academy, but in the entire China's imperial court, they were the least valued. Because of that, the number of people who signed up to study divination was very small. It was less than ten percent of the total. It was a far cry from Lin Wanrong's era of "learning mathematics, physics, and chemistry well and not being afraid to travel the world".
Lin Wanrong, who accompanied Second Miss to sign up early in the morning, looked at the sparse number of people signing up on the red divination roll, then looked at the moving heads in front of the poetry roll. He couldn't help but shake his head. What was going on? Could China become rich and powerful just by writing some erotic poems? That was f * cking nonsense. He could barely be considered a half-baked scholar, but he was deeply ashamed of the title of scholar!
Second Miss, on the other hand, was very excited. She had just turned seventeen and was at the age where she liked to be lively. This was the most prestigious academy in China. Her excitement was mixed with pride, just like how Lin Wanrong felt when he first entered university.
The number of people signing up for the divination that Xiao Yushuang wanted to learn was very small. The lecture was in a small courtyard. There were only forty to fifty people, and there were less than ten women. As soon as Second Miss entered, it naturally caused a commotion.
Yushuang looked at Lin Wanrong uneasily. When she saw him smile at her, her heart calmed down. She looked at Lin Wanrong reluctantly and walked towards her seat.
According to the agreement with Second Miss, after entering the academy, Lin Wanrong had to leave. He couldn't disturb Yushuang's hard work. Of course, he deeply approved of this kind of hard work.
After smiling at Yushuang, Lin Wanrong quickened his steps. Just as he was about to walk out of the courtyard, two people hurriedly came from outside. The one walking at the front was a woman. She was deep in thought with her head lowered. She rushed over without looking at the road ahead and almost bumped into him.
Lin Wanrong hurriedly dodged. Was this girl rushing to reincarnate? Fortunately, she met me. My body is as light as a swallow and my reaction is fast. Otherwise, you would have become a swallow flying into my arms.
The man behind the woman saw that she almost bumped into someone. He hurriedly rushed forward and said, "Miss Xu, how are you? Are you hurt?"
F * ck, that's a good question. I haven't even touched her skin, and you're asking if I'm injured? He helplessly shook his head and smiled bitterly. He saw that the man who asked was in his twenties. He was dressed in white, had a slender figure, a jade face, and red lips. He was handsome and looked even better than Pan An.
For people who were more handsome than him, Lin Wanrong naturally didn't have a good impression. He didn't look at the woman and turned to walk away.
"Wait!" The handsome man shouted in a low voice, "Brother, you almost bumped into Miss Xu. Shouldn't you apologize?"
It was clearly this girl who almost bumped into me. How did I become the culprit? Lin Wanrong sighed in his heart. He remembered the Grand Mistress's exhortation to "not cause trouble". He slowly turned his head and smiled, "Oh, almost bumped? Then I'm really sorry. Miss, I apologize to you! "
The young lady seemed to have recovered from her contemplation. She frowned and said, "Brother Ye, what's going on? What's the matter? "
Lin Wanrong broke into a sweat. This girl was so lost in thought that she didn't even know that she almost bumped into someone. Fortunately, there were no cars for you to drive in this era! However, her voice sounded familiar. He seemed to have heard it somewhere before.
The handsome young master Ye said, "Oh, Miss Xu, it's nothing serious. It's just that when you were thinking, this brother almost bumped into you. I told him to apologize to you! "
These words were too f * cking good! If it was the previous Lin Wanrong, he would have already pulled out a gun and killed him. However, today was different. Yushuang still had to study here. The Grand Mistress had specifically told him that for the sake of the sisters' peace, he had to endure it!
That Miss Xu calmly shook her head and said, "There's no need, Brother Ye. I was thinking about something just now. I left in a hurry and almost bumped into this young master. If we're talking about the fault, I'm also half to blame."
This young lady with a somewhat familiar voice spoke with a sense of propriety. She took the initiative to take half of the responsibility, even though the responsibility was 100% hers.
Young master Ye nodded and said, "Miss Xu is so generous. You're truly a role model for many of the teachers and students in Jinghua Academy. I admire you very much." Miss Xu faintly smiled and didn't say anything.
Lin Wanrong shook his head in disdain. Go ahead and take pictures. You're even more thick-skinned than me. He couldn't be bothered to look at that Miss Xu. Just as he was about to leave, he heard Young master Ye say, "Brother, are you a student of the academy? Are you here to learn mathematics? Why haven't I seen you before? Miss Xu, have you seen him before? "
Although this Young master Ye spoke politely, there was a sense of arrogance in his words. Perhaps it was because he was handsome. Lin Wanrong comforted himself and said, "I'm not a student of the academy. I'm here to send my young lady here to learn mathematics. She's from the Xiao Family of Jin Ling —"
"You're from the Xiao Family?" Miss Xu was shocked and said, "You're from Jin Ling?"
Was the Xiao Family that famous? They even knew about the capital? Lin Wanrong pretended to be humble and said, "I'm indeed from Jin Ling." Just now, he was interrogated by Young master Ye as if he was being exploited. Although he forcefully endured it and didn't explode, he still didn't raise his head to look at Miss Xu when he was talking to her. But when he spoke to this Miss Xu, he did not raise his head to look at her, using this as an excuse to express his strong protest to these two people — I won't look at you!
"Then do you know the talented lady of Jin Ling, Miss Luo Ning?" Miss Xu asked.
"Miss Luo?" Lin Wanrong nodded and said, "I know her. I know her very well. She's very close to me. "
Young master Ye smiled and said, "Miss Luo Ning is the daughter of the former governor of Jiangsu, Lord Lomin. She has a high status. You're just a servant, how can you be close to her?"
"Hahahaha —" Lin Wanrong held back his laughter and said, "Servant? How low? Why doesn't Miss Luo treat me as a servant? I earn money with my own labor and eat with my own hands. Why am I inferior to others? Young master, you're dividing people into different classes. It's really against the Buddha's commandment that all beings are equal. I suggest you go to the Jade Buddha Temple in the north of the city to do some merit. "
Young master Ye didn't expect a servant to have such a sharp tongue. He was stunned for a moment before he shook his head and said, "Whether there are different classes or not, it's not up to you to decide. It's also not up to me to decide. It's in people's hearts. I won't argue with you, lest I lose my identity. "
Lin Wanrong shook his head and didn't say anything. This guy's ego wasn't ordinary. Today, for the sake of the Grand Mistress, he couldn't be bothered to argue with him. Let's go!
He was about to leave when Miss Xu raised her eyebrows and lightly took a few steps forward and said, "Jade Buddha Temple? Young master knows about Jade Buddha Temple? "
Her few steps were right in front of Lin Wanrong. Lin Wanrong raised his head and was instantly stunned.
This Miss Xu was in her twenties. She had a slim and graceful figure, snow-white skin, cherry lips, almond eyes and peach cheeks. Although there was no smile on her face, there was an indescribable calmness as she stood in front of him. Lin Wanrong was a little dazed. Other than being surprised by her beauty, he was even more surprised by the temperament of this woman. This was a kind of calmness filled with confidence. This was a kind of true intellectual beauty.
Being stared at by Lin Wanrong, Miss Xu wasn't angry. She lightly said, "Can young master tell me, how do you know about Jade Buddha Temple?"
"Cough, this …" Lin Wanrong had a bad feeling in his heart. He hurriedly took two steps back and said, "Which older person in the capital doesn't know about Jade Buddha Temple? I also heard about it from a big sister. "
Miss Xu slightly shook her head and said, "People only know about Reclining Buddha Temple but not Jade Buddha Temple! The Reclining Buddha Temple is carved from pure jade. Not many people in the capital know about it. "
"Miss, everyone has eyes. You're not the only one who is good at observation." Lin Wanrong said.
Miss Xu slightly nodded, "Young master's eyes are indeed sharp. Then may I ask young master, did you go to Jade Buddha Temple yesterday? "
"Yesterday? It was raining cats and dogs yesterday. Why would I go to Jade Buddha Temple? "Lin Wanrong righteously said with a trace of determination in his eyes.
Miss Xu stared at his eyes for a long time before saying, "Do you know what happens to a person's eyeballs when they lie?"
"I don't know. My eyeballs didn't move!" Lin Wanrong solemnly said.
Miss Xu faintly made an 'oh' sound and expressionlessly said, "To catch up with you and then dump you. This is my goal. Young master, can you please repeat this sentence? "
Cold sweat, layers of cold sweat. Even an experienced and thick-skinned scholar like Lin Wanrong didn't know what to do.
