As Song Wan Yue passed, the dean met the old gentleman.
Seeing that the old gentleman was still as fit as ever, the dean’s heart fell back after a long time, and he bowed respectfully, “I have met my benefactor.”
The old gentleman had not seen him for many years, and seeing that he had grey hair on his head, he could not help but sigh that time had passed so quickly, many years had passed in the blink of an eye.
“Sit down quickly.”
The dean sat down, not knowing for a moment what to say. When he was studying beside the old gentleman, the great gentleman was the most talented of them all, and later, as they thought, he became a great scholar second only to his benefactor, but he never thought he would be burdened by his personal feelings.
The old gentleman asked him about the academy and was pleased to learn that it was very large and the largest in several nearby counties.
“Your years of hard work have been rewarded, and you will need to continue to work hard in the future to train more talents for the court.”
“The student will remember the teachings of his benefactor.”
The old gentleman nodded his head.
The dean hesitated for a moment, but still asked out, “How long does your benefactor plan to stay in Qingping County?”
“A month or two, let’s see how it goes.”
“Then will the student be able to visit your benefactor often?”
“Naturally you can, in a moment I will ask Xu Liang to give a word to the underlings, in future you come and let them lead you directly here.”
……
Song Wangyue and Gu Yi went to Meng’s house.
Xu had been staying here these days, while Song Lin went back to the village to work in the morning and came over in the evening. Perhaps because she had left that sad place in the capital, or because Xu and Song Lin were with her, Meng was in better spirits and had nothing to do these days, and together with Xu, they made clothes for Song Wangyue and Gu Yi.
“I was just thinking of bringing the clothes back to you guys when Song Lin goes back in the evening to see if they fit. Just in time, you guys come over and try them on.”
Song Wan Yue smiled as she walked over, “There’s no need to try, grandma’s made them to fit.”
Meng’s eyes smiled at these words, not knowing if it was because of the love of the next generation, she looked at Song Wangyue and liked her, “If it fits, grandma will make you more sets, it’s just idle everyday anyway.”
Song Wan Yue picked up Gu Yi’s set and handed it to him, instructing him to go to the next room to try it on. After he left, she picked up her own set and changed in front of everyone, spinning around a few times, her skirt rippling in layers, and it was as if everyone saw a peach blossom fairy coming out of the peach forest.
The room was silent for a while.
Song Wangyue stopped, and her skirt slowly floated down.
“What’s wrong?”
Only then did the crowd return to their senses, and Meng opened her mouth to say something when Gu Yi walked in and stood beside Song Wan Yue. His was a single robe of precious blue, with a belt of the same colour, taking advantage of his increasingly red lips and white teeth, he and Song Wan Yue stood together as if they were golden children.
Meng swallowed the words she was about to say and changed her tone with a smile, “Grandmother’s handiwork is really good, I’ll take care of both of your clothes from now on.”
“Then don’t go back to the capital, live here all the time, Gu Yi and I are just growing up, our bodies are changing day by day, if you go back to the capital, you won’t be able to do so suitably.”
Meng’s heart burst with emotion, she knew that Song Wangyue was disguising herself to stay, not wanting to let herself go back to that sad place, “Good, grandmother listen to you, just stay here, don’t go back.”
“Grandmother’s words must be kept.”
“Count, count.”
At this moment Meng’s heart was really intent on living in Qingping County in the future; she had not looked after Wan’er well at that time and had let her be lost. In the meantime, she would look after Yue’er, see that she grew up peacefully and happily, and make up for the regret of not seeing Wan’er get married.
“Miss Sun ……”
Sister Wu lifted the curtain and entered, “Third Master Song is here, he says he wants to see you.”
“Third uncle? What does he want?”
“Third Master Song didn’t say.”
Song Wangyue changed out of her clothes and went out.
Song San Xiao rubbed his hands together and went back and forth in the courtyard, just now Qi Ying had someone from the dart board come quietly to tell him that he wanted to see Song Wan Yue. Song San Xiao ran to the tavern again and asked the owner for the exact address of the mansion and hurried over.
“Third Uncle.”
Hearing the shout, Song Sanxiao quickly stepped forward, “Yue’er, third uncle begs you for something.”
“Go ahead.”
“I’m really worried about Miss Qi’s injuries, and I don’t know how well she’s recovered. Are you free today, can you help Third Uncle go and take a look?”
Song Wan Yue raised her eyebrows, this was not Song San Xiao’s style of doing things, even if his grandmother had strictly ordered him not to go and see Qi Ying before he was married, with his heart for Qi Ying, it was impossible for him not to think of going to see her.
“Third uncle begs you.”
Song San Xiao gave her a bow. Qi Ying should be bored with lying at home and wanted Yue’er to go over and give her a talk.
“OK, wait a moment Third Uncle, I’ll go and give my mother and the girls a word.”
“It’s still Yue’er who is good to Third Uncle, you go and talk, Third Uncle will wait here for you.”
Song Wan Yue went back inside and said, Gu Yi followed her out, “I’ll go over to the medicine shop first to see if the remaining herbs have arrived, then I’ll go to the restaurant, if you’re back early, go over there and look for me.”
Song Wangyue answered.
After leaving the door, Gu Yi took the carriage’s to the restaurant, Song Wan Yue asked the carriage driver to send Song San Xiao back to the stall first, and then came to the dart board.
The man on duty at the gate led her directly to Qi Ying.
Qi Ying was sitting on the bed, although his face was still a little pale, his spirits were already much better. When he heard the report, his surprised voice came out from inside the room, “Come in quickly, Yue’er.”
Song Wan Yue went in.
Qi Ying stretched out his hand towards her and pulled her to sit in front of him, “I was bored to death lying down, I was about to have someone send you a message to come over and talk with me.”
“You and Third Uncle really have a heart to heart, he just ran to me and said he was afraid you would be bored to death and asked me to come over to keep you company.”
When she heard Song San Xiao’s name, Qi Ying did not show her disgust as she did before, instead she blushed slightly, “Count him as having a heart.”
“More than having a heart, he would hate to be hurt for you, my third uncle has never treated anyone like this, not even our family, you are the first, from now on you have to be nice to my third uncle.”
Song Wangyue half-joked.
Qi Ying’s face reddened some more, but didn’t squirm like other girls from the boudoir, instead she said openly, “I will naturally be good to him, you don’t know, that day when I was injured and couldn’t hold on, I vaguely saw him, and surprisingly I was instantly at peace, relieved to faint, I think I might have had my heart set on him for a long time, I just never noticed it myself. ”
“So you took the opportunity to give your body to him? Sister Qiying, you have a deep enough heart.”
Song Wangyue had an intention.
As if she hadn’t heard it, Qi Ying glared at her and avoided the question, “You’re still calling me sister, messing up your seniority.”
“Then what do I call you, Auntie? Or just call you Third Aunt?”
