Chapter 250 Full of Suspicion
Wang Jinyi quickly covered her mouth, and after her feet landed on the ground, Feng Mei held her hands tightly. The three of them, master and servant, walked through the dark night.
Wang Jinyi was a little skeptical: I just said I was going to the training school in the west of the city at night, how did they know where to go? Seeing that they were familiar with the place, it was a bit strange.
She ran a few steps after him with full of suspicion, but her pace became slower and slower. Sister Feng simply carried the young lady on her back, quickened her pace, and reached the west of the city as fast as the wind.
Wang Jinyi originally wanted to remind the two of them which road they should take, but she never expected that the two of them took a shortcut and headed for Yiwen Academy.
Wang Jinyi finally had a feeling that she had no secrets in front of the two men. When she thought about it carefully, it was true. These two people were inseparable from her, and she lived in the same room. All they heard around her was shared information.
Alas! Fortunately, they had not done anything wicked, and everything they had done could be exposed. They were placed by their grandfather, so they did not care about the trip to Yiwen Academy.
It is called a college, but it is actually an empty courtyard with two rows of main rooms and two rows of side rooms on the east and west sides. The front row of the main room is the classroom, and the back row is the workshop, which is the actual operation room. The east side room is the office and the teacher's lounge, and the north room is the dormitory for the students living on campus.
In front of the main gate, a man was standing quietly in the autumn night with a lantern, his clothes blowing in the wind, looking into the distance.
Sister Feng and Sister Feng took the young lady to lurk in the shadows on the street. Wang Jinyi patted Sister Feng on the back and said in a low voice:
"Let me down. Sister Feng, ask Wenbai to blow out the lantern. We will go in quietly and let him lead the way."
Feng Mei followed the young lady's instructions and appeared in front of Wen Bai in the shadows like a little deer. Wen Bai was so scared that he almost threw the lantern away from a distance. Soon the candle in the lantern went out.
Feng Jie took Wang Jinyi and followed Wen Bai and Feng Mei into the gate. There was a small courtyard in the southeast corner of the yard. Wen Bai pushed open the gate and saw a light in a room. Wang Jinyi looked at Feng Jie holding her hand.
Sister Feng quickly let go of the young lady.
Wang Jinyi came to the door and saw a wooden sign on the door that said "Study".
Wang Jinyi looked up at Wen Bai, stretched out her right index finger, placed it on her lips and let out a long hiss. Wen Bai nodded without saying anything and pushed the door open.
The two of them walked into the room silently. Wen Bai did not introduce the young lady's identity. The girl in the room stood up when she saw someone entering the room, bowed to Jin Yi, and called out respectfully:
"Miss, my name is Lu Chuan."
Wang Jinyi was a little surprised. How did she know that she was the master? When two people came in, she actually met him alone.
Wen Bai moved a chair for the young lady. After Wang Jinyi sat down, she said:
"Ms. Lu, please introduce yourself frankly and clearly state your thoughts. I don't have much time to stay here."
When Lu Chuan saw that the person who came in was younger than himself, wearing a nightgown and a black scarf on his face, he knew that the person was very cautious.
So she told her own story. Lu Chuan was the only daughter of Lu Zhenjiang, the second son of Lu Hai, the prefect of Chuanjiang Prefecture. She was 10 years old this year. She was too thin and looked like she was only eight or nine years old. This was because her life was too difficult in the past two years after she was convicted.
The boy she carried on her back was Lu Jiangyan, the great-great-grandson of the eldest branch of the Lu family, and had nothing to do with the second branch of the Lu family.
Ever since Wang Jinyi traveled through time, she understood that in the eyes of the ancients, as long as the first, second, or even multiple branches of a family did not split up, they were all one family.
The eldest son of a family plays an important role in a family. In difficult and dangerous times, everyone will take the initiative to protect the eldest son and grandson. This is probably what Lu Jiangyan meant.
"Lu Jiangyan is the eldest grandson of the eldest son, right?"
Lu Chuan nodded without comment. He guessed it right, but why should she let him help her?
"You know I'm looking for people with all kinds of talents. Since you've come 300 miles to sign up, you must have a specialty that meets my requirements."
"Miss, the Lu family does not distinguish between boys and girls. They all start school at the age of four. I have been studying at home for five years. I have a good literary talent. I can help you with some writing work!"
Wang Jinyi smiled quietly when she heard this. Since Lu Chuan was so confident, he probably had some literary talent. So let's give it a try.
"Wenbai, get her some paper and pen."
"Lu Chuan, please recite a passage of the Analects of Confucius over a cup of tea."
Lu Chuan was slightly stunned after hearing this, then she took the brush and quickly wrote "Learning". As soon as she raised the brush, Wang Jinyi said:
"Write a poem or draw a picture on the theme of autumn. The shorter the time, the better. Don't make a draft. I want to see that you are inspired by it."
Wen Bai took the "Learning" that Lu Chuan had just memorized and handed it to the young lady.
Just looking at Lu Chuan's hairpin-flowered small regular script, one can tell that he has put a lot of effort into calligraphy. His handwriting is neat and elegant, and the whole article was completed in one go without any mistakes or omissions, which shows how familiar he is with "The Analects of Confucius".
"Have you finished reading Mencius, The Great Learning, and The Doctrine of the Mean?"
The ancients studied the Four Books first because they wanted to establish morality before establishing oneself. The classic moral education is in the Four Books. It is subtly instilled into the hearts of students in the form of articles.
Lu Chuan said with a guilty look on his face:
"Miss, you haven't finished learning yet." Yueyang 1"
At least she has learned some of it. From the perspective of a secretary's knowledge, she is better than Mo Yu, but Mo Yu is more loyal and trustworthy.
Lu Chuan splashed ink on the desk and added some colors. When Wang Jinyi took it in her hand and looked at it, she saw a beautiful poem written on the scroll:
Half is spring scenery, half is scattered, half is autumn wind, half is misty waves,
The cold smoke turns into bright colors, and the weather is vast like an autumn song.
The painting is a sparse and vast picture of a vast mountain landscape, dotted with dark green trees, and large patches of bright yellow dead leaves in the indigo mountain color. The distance, depth, or shallowness of the scene give the mountain landscape a sense of vastness.
Wang Jinyi pushed the painting further away. Both the perspective and composition were good, but the artistic conception was not profound enough. However, the painting could be said to be moving and well-made.
After all, it took only a very short time to compose and paint the picture, without much time for conception. This is already a masterpiece.
Wang Jinyi held the drawing paper and asked curiously:
"How did you know I was the master when I walked in? Why did you disrespect me as soon as I walked in?"
Lu Chuan bowed and said:
"Miss, I have good hearing. I heard you hissing outside the door. And when you entered, this gentleman opened the door for you, and you walked in without even trying to show respect. This shows that he has been working for you for a long time.
Miss, if I heard correctly, you and others entered this yard together."
Wang Jinyi's curiosity was aroused and he asked:
"Can you tell how many people came in with me?"
