By Jia Xiuzhen

Besides, Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang had agreed on Jiaoer's study, so he let go of his mind and went to the study again.Mrs. Wang hurriedly invited someone to deliver a letter to Wang Ziteng, and asked to help find a gentleman who had been around for a long time, and she strongly urged someone to have a good reputation.Another person was sent to inform Li Wan of Mr. Zhu's resignation and Mr. Jia Lan's health care.

Yan Momo heard this, and said to Li Wan: "What does this mean? Even the books are not allowed to read?"

Li Wan said: "Maybe it's good intentions, Lan'er was really skinny earlier this year." Madam Yan didn't say anything more.

But a few days later, it was said that Mr. Zhu was going to leave. Originally, it was time to close the museum in summer, but Jia Lan had a lot of admiration for Mr. Zhu, so he was a little listless.

When she came back this day, she lay motionless in Li Wan's arms. This Jia Lan had always looked like a grown-up, except when she was exhausted from physical training and couldn't support herself earlier, it was rare to see her like this.Li Wan also knew a thing or two about his thoughts, so he didn't persuade him anything, but just hugged him firmly.Fortunately, Li Wan in the east room used tricks, otherwise he would have sweated a lot from the stickiness.

After a long time, Jia Lanfang raised his head, his eyes were still watery, and said in a low voice: "Sir, he left me today and said a lot, and gave me two more things." A letter and an emerald green sign came to Li Wan.

Li Wan took a closer look at the sign, it was made of green sandalwood, engraved with the character Zhu in seal script, and there was another pattern at the bottom. Looking closely, it was the words Tongbi Pavilion of Liancheng Academy, and the envelope of the letter read "Senior Brother, Dear Brother" start".Looking back, I don't know why.

Jia Lan continued: "Today, my husband told me that I have both aura and perseverance in reading, and he also values ​​my disposition. I have already proposed to the master to recommend me to study in Liancheng Academy. It's just that I am too young, and we are like this. I am afraid that people in the family will not really take fame seriously. Mr. is sorry for my qualifications, so he left his nameplate for me and wrote another letter of recommendation. He said that if I grow up and want to study, I can do it. I took it and went to look for the head of the Liancheng Academy, who will definitely make arrangements for me."

Li Wan was silent when he heard this, and Jia Lan suddenly burst into tears: "Mother, sir even gave me the things I used when I was growing up. Are you going to some dangerous place? Sir, you will never come back again." ?”

Li Wan was startled, she heard what Jia Lan said just now, in fact, that was what she thought in her heart, but she didn't expect Jia Lan to feel something was wrong even at such a young age.Seeing that he was crying so sadly, he quickly put the letter nameplate aside, thought for a while, and then said to Jia Lan: "Lan'er, if I treat you as a child, I will naturally coax you. Now my mother treats you as a child." I'm a man, so I'll tell you what I think."

After Jia Lan heard this, she was a little embarrassed to cry again, but her heart was sad and she couldn't stop sobbing. Li Wan was so distressed that she said softly, "Mr. Weight, you have been studying for so long, so you don't need to talk about it. Therefore, it is impossible for Mr. Zhu to teach in our house for the rest of his life. Look again, in the past six months, Mr. has been busy with important things, so you know, for For the husband, it may be time to show off his ambitions. Therefore, the husband must leave.

The affairs of adults, especially those of aspiring men, can be resolved in a day or two at least. After Mr. Zhu leaves, when will he be able to get things done, I'm afraid he himself doesn't know.In this way, he sincerely recognizes you as a little disciple, so naturally he has to consider for you.Mr. Zhu only said that when you grow up, you are no different from ordinary children. Perhaps in one or two years, two or three years, you will be able to make up your mind or persuade the master to let you study in the academy.At that time, if you still can't come back to the capital, wouldn't you have nowhere to go?

Mr. Zhu first gave you the nameplate and recommendation letter this time, which is to give you this reassurance. As long as your family agrees and you are willing in your heart, you can go to the academy to study at any time.This is exactly what Mr. has considered for you.

You and Mr. Zhu are deeply in love with each other, mother knows it, and mother does not dare to say what will happen to Mr. Zhu, in the world of life, what you do is not dangerous?You can choke on drinking water, right?But if you think that Mr. Zhu must be in danger or will never come back, etc., you are thinking too much, or you don't believe in Mr. Zhu's ability? "

Jia Lan listened to it and thought about it for a while. Although she was still not at ease, she had to admit that what Li Wan said was very reasonable, and finally she gradually stopped being sad.

Seeing him like this, Li Wan knew that he had figured it out a little bit, so he brought up the topic again: "A few days ago, my wife sent someone to tell me that I want you to have a good rest. I don't know if there are any other gentlemen coming after this." A fixed number, what do you have in mind?"

Jia Lan rubbed the tip of her red nose, and said in a low voice, "I heard from people in the madam's courtyard that the madam wants to find a husband for Uncle Bao, but I'm afraid the husband won't accept younger ones."

As expected, Li Wan thought so, without revealing anything on his face, and asked again: "If so, I'm afraid you won't be able to follow along. Do you have other plans?"

Jia Lan thought about it for a while, then raised his head and said, "Maybe I, like Third Uncle Huan, go to ethnology to study."

Li Wan nodded and smiled, "Mother is really happy that you have such ambition."

Jia Lan also burst into tears.Li Wan said again: "It's just according to my opinion, why don't you just rest for half a year and wait for a year to talk about it."

Jia Lan was puzzled, Li Wan said with a smile: "You follow Mr. Zhu, and your reading speed is already faster than your peers. Now, instead of rushing to the ethnology to listen to it again, it's better to calm down and think about it. What I have learned is firstly. Secondly, compared with reading, your physical training is much worse. It is rare to have this kind of skill. Why not spend half a year to lay a solid foundation for physical training, and then you can go to school later. I feel more at ease when the cold comes and the summer comes. What do you think?"

Jia Lan was anxious to continue her studies, but after hearing what Li Wan said, she felt that it was all right.Seeing that he was loose, Li Wan said again: "Only you and my mother and son know about this body training. The master also loves you very much. He lost weight before seeing you, and there is your father's example before him. I'm also very worried. After you rest it for half a year, you can learn new things by reviewing the past, lay a solid foundation for body training, and make the master feel at ease, wouldn't it be a feat?"

Jia Lan was different from Baoyu Jia Huan in that he was more close to Jia Zheng than afraid of him. Hearing what Li Wan said, he had no disagreement, so he followed what Li Wan said.In this way, Jia Lan got half a year's rest and lived a life of herding sheep without restraint, which Baoyu was so envious of.

When it was very hot, there were cicadas on the tall trees in the courtyard of Jia's mansion, but there were really no sticky poles that long, so I had to let them.Mother Jia, who originally refused to let her study when it was hot, surprisingly did not stop the girls' schoolwork this time.

Mrs. Wang was only asked to add more ice basins in the little building where their sisters study, put jasmine, jasmine, gladiolus, hibiscus and other southern flowers on the porch, and set up a few wind wheels, so that the breeze flows through the hall, and the room is full of fragrance.In the hut, the girls read and practiced the piano, played chess and painted every day with the instructor specially invited by Jia Mu, and they were very happy.

On the tenth day of rest, the room feels stuffy, so I often go to Li Wan's place to spend the summer.Only half of Tanchun's time was spent copying and studying scriptures. Mrs. Wang and Jia Zheng both praised her handwriting, and she became more and more diligent.Daiyu is weak, the others are very happy with the layout of the hut, only she had to add half an arm to withstand the cool wind, Xichun made fun of her.

It was June [-]th, and Suyun and the others were tossing around in the yard to dry their clothes. Li Wan laughed at them on the porch: "It's not in the south, after the rainy season, they have to dry their clothes. Especially now, how long has it been?" It’s raining, why are you bothering, but you don’t think you’re sweating enough.”

Suyun said: "Grandma has such fallacies. The old foundation has been handed down, and it has to be turned and dried in the sun today. The poor scholar who has no clothes to dry is still drying the books in his stomach."

Li Wan laughed loudly: "He was a famous scholar in the Jin Dynasty, he became a poor scholar in your mouth, and he said the same thing."

Suyun directed the little girls and women to carry things, ignoring Li Wan's ridicule.Primrose Green and the others were busy drying Jia Lan's books, but Jia Lan was still worried about them, and would run to watch under the sun from time to time, sweating Yan Mama anxiously, for fear that he would catch heat.Li Wan watched him jumping up and down and laughingly not taking it seriously, Chang Nanny couldn't stand it anymore, and said repeatedly: "Grandma, you should call my brother, don't get dizzy under the sun."

Li Wan waved the fan in his hand and said: "It's not that I let him run out, it's okay, Lan'er is strong, but it's a pity that it's too white now, it's good to bask in the sun, to add some masculinity."

Nanny Chang could only keep "Ahhh", but there was nothing she could do about it.Seeing that Suyun was still spinning around, Li Wan said: "Come on, I'm dizzy from seeing it, so you just stop for a while and dig out all the things in the warehouse. How can this yard be exposed to the sun? You still have to go outside to dry it." ? Let me tell you, just leave it like this, if you really don’t want to part with the sun, you go and dry your clothes, and let go of my clothes.”

Biyue looked at the things outside that had been drying for half of the yard, and then looked at Curry, feeling powerless, and complained: "Grandma's things are really too much! I don't know how Mo Yu and Sister Yunqiu dried them back then." !"

Nanny Chang smiled and said: "You should be like you silly girls. The Exposure Festival is just to pick up some things that are easy to catch insects and mildew in the sun. It's not like you, you take everything out to dry. Those who don't know think that Which silk and satin factory’s robe drying club?”

Miao'er asked Biyue from the side: "Sister Biyue, what is the robe drying meeting?"

Bi Yue said: "There is a big silk and satin tailor shop in the south that puts its own things on the street on June Festival, so as to show the craftsmanship."

Miao Er's eyes were bright, "That must be very pretty."

Biyue nuzzled and said: "How many good things can there be, it can't compare to grandma's here."

Miao'er looked up at the unnamed clothing materials in the half yard, and nodded her head sincerely.Bi Yue gave up carrying Li Wan's clothes to dry, she turned to Miao Er and said, "Why don't we dry our own, since grandma has a lot of things, she doesn't care if there are insects or not."

Li Wan slapped her on the head with a fan, and said: "Standing next to you, how dare you arrange me!" Bi Yue stuck out her tongue, and pulled Miao Er to pack her things.
