Evening Shaohua in the Red House

Li Wan was startled when he heard the words, then he relaxed, nodded and said: "Since Mr. Shen has made up his mind, I don't have to worry about it."

She was naturally relieved of Shen Yi's ability, this matter was nothing more than a trivial matter to him.

Jia Lan immediately took the letter to Jia Zheng's study to pay his respects, talked about his apprenticeship, and presented Shen Yi's letter.

After Jia Zheng saw it, he was surprised and delighted, he naturally knew Shen Yi's name, and he admired his talent and learning, so he would never refuse, not to mention that now Jia Lan has become his disciple, that is Gu Yan's disciple, it can be said that he was born from heaven. I was happy, but then I thought that this matter was all thanks to Li Shouzhong's efforts, and my grandson had this opportunity. As a grandfather, I was not as dedicated as Li Shouzhong's grandfather, so I couldn't help feeling a little ashamed.

For the grandson of Jia's family, his family was worried about his studies. If it spread, it might make people laugh, but anyway, it's a good thing. Compared with his grandson's future, there is no need to worry about these details. Thinking of this, Jia Zheng put aside the unease in his heart, beckoned Jia Lan to come to him, and said solemnly: "It is a great blessing for you to have this opportunity to worship a famous teacher, and you should be more diligent and studious in the future. Be filial to the teacher, don't play outside, neglect your studies."

Jia Lan agreed and said respectfully: "The grandson will follow the teachings of his grandfather and never dare to slack off in the slightest."

Jia Zheng tested a few more homework questions, and seeing that he answered them fluently, he felt more and more satisfied, so he wrote a letter to Shen Yi on the same day, agreeing to be a teacher, thanking him for his favor, and the whole family felt very honored. polite.

Shen Yi also replied to the letter very quickly, and since then the two of them have been confirmed as masters and apprentices, and now there is only one apprenticeship ceremony left.

Li Wan breathed a sigh of relief when he got the news, and hurriedly started to make arrangements for the teacher's apprentice ceremony, and hurriedly asked someone to prepare to come out.

Not long after, everyone in the whole family knew that Jia Lan was favored by Shen Yi and accepted him as a disciple.

Hearing this, everyone in Jia's residence was very surprised. They never expected that Jia Lan would visit a teacher after going out for a trip, and this teacher was also Gu Yan's personal disciple.

In the evening, when Li Wan went to Dingxing in Jiamu's room, Jiamu asked about it, and Li Wan told the whole story.

Mother Jia asked a few words carefully, and she was very happy when she found out about Shen Yi's identity. She nodded to Li Wan and said, "This is a rare and good thing. You can rest assured that Lan'er will be taught by Mr. Shen in the future."

Li Wan laughed and said, "This is also Lan'er's fortune."

Baoyu has always hated official career and economics, so he doesn't know much about these things, but Baochai Daiyu and others have all heard of Shen

Surprised by Yi's famous name, he secretly rejoices for Jia Lan.

In her early years, Daiyu often heard her father Lin Ruhai mention Shen Yi, and she knew more about Shen Yi than anyone else. Shen Yi was originally from Gusu, and he had a lot of contacts with the Lin family back then, so they can be regarded as family friends.

This Shen family is the family of book eunuchs from generation to generation. The family has been handed down for nearly a hundred years. It is flourishing and has a large number of clan members. It was only because of the fifth generation that it was a gentleman. In Shen Yi's generation, there are too many descendants who are useless. Afterwards, the Shen family separated, and Shen Yi's house moved to the capital, and never went back since then.

Back then, this incident was widely circulated in Gusu City. Although Daiyu was not aware of the old affairs of the Shen family, she often heard the stories of Shen Yi's life mentioned by her father. A rare celebrity.

It is really a rare opportunity for Jia Lan to worship under the opponent's sect.

Mrs. Wang was also very pleased that her grandson had won a famous teacher, but she was also a little uncomfortable, but she didn't want to ask more questions in front of Jiamu. Mr. Shen wants to accept Lan Er as an apprentice? We have no relationship with Qingliu, let alone a character like Mr. Shen, ordinary people can't catch his eyes, why did he fall in love with Lan Er?"

Li Wan knew that Mrs. Wang was suspicious when he heard it. He paused, lowered his eyes immediately, and told what happened at the Lantern Festival a few days ago, and said, "It turned out that my father took Lan'er and the others to watch the lanterns. Who knows?" I met Mr. Shen by coincidence. I heard from my father that I met Mr. Gu Yan by chance in the early years. This time Mr. Gu and Mr. Shen returned to Beijing. My father probably met because of this. No one expected that Lan'er would meet Mr. Shen. My father has always admired Mr. Shen's talent, so he brought Lan'er to visit twice, but he never expected to fall into Mr. Shen's eyes."

He never mentioned the matter of asking Li Shouzhong to help Jia Lan hire a teacher. Anyway, it is impossible for Mrs. Wang to find someone to confront Li Shouzhong and Shen Yi.

After hearing this, Mrs. Wang threw away the suspicion in her heart, nodded and said: "In this way, it is indeed Lan'er's chance. By the way, has the day of apprenticeship been chosen yet?"

Li Wan said: "It hasn't been decided yet, it depends on Mr. Shen's opinion. I will send someone to Mr. Shen's house tomorrow to ask."

It stands to reason that this apprenticeship is a major event, and it should be an auspicious day, but although Li Wan has been in this world for many years, he is still a modern soul in his bones, influenced by his previous life, he doesn't care much about these.

Shen Yi is not the kind of person who pays attention to vulgar etiquette, and he doesn't need to be straightforward.

Find any good day and auspicious day, just do whatever you want, so in the end the two sides discussed a bit, and set the day of apprenticeship as three days later.

Li Wan ordered the servant girl to rush to make two new clothes for Jia Lan, preparing to wear them on the day of apprenticeship, and then called Danju over and asked, "Have you prepared all the preparations for the apprenticeship ceremony that I told you earlier?"

Dan Ju hurriedly said: "Grandma, don't worry, everything has been prepared according to your instructions."

After finishing speaking, he hurriedly ordered people to carry the things in for Li Wan to have a look at.

Appreciation ceremony, in fact, is Shuxiu, which consists of six items: celery, lotus seeds, red beans, dates, longan, and dried meat.

These "six rituals" are actually very particular. Celery means "diligence, studiousness, and diligence"; lotus seeds are bitter, which means "painstaking education";

Jujube means "early high school", longan means "consummation of merit and virtue", and the last dried meat is used to express the disciple's heart, which is a rule handed down from Confucius.

Naturally, they can afford more valuable things, but that's the current customary rule, adding more would be regarded as disrespectful.

Li Wan inspected it carefully, and seeing that there was nothing missing, Fang nodded and ordered someone to carry it down so that it could be stored safely.

In addition, Li Wan specially selected two clever companions, one is Jia Lan's nanny's son Wang Cheng, who is seven years old this year, and the other is Suyun's younger brother Zhao Yi, who is nine years old. Loyal and honest nature.

Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang were still a little worried, so they called them over to inspect it for themselves, beat them again, and rewarded them with two purses, ordering them to serve the master well.

By this day, Li Wan had already packed up his books, pens and cultural relics, and packed his clothes and bags. Now that the first lunar month is just out, the weather is still cold. In addition to the daily replacement clothes, he added a cloak, a snow jacket, a hand stove, silver frost charcoal, spices And snacks, etc. are also available in color. Color is available.

Jia Lan got up, cleaned up, put on new clothes, and came to Li Wan's room to say hello.

Li Wan beckoned him to come up to him, looked carefully, and saw that he was wearing a white collared jacket with dark flowers on the inside, and a round-necked satin gown with black trim and a moon-white silk surface on the outside with a golden background and multicolored bamboo leaves auspicious patterns. Scattered trousers, tied with a beaded silver belt, and finally wrapped in a maroon woven gold satin fox fur cloak, nodded and said: "It's still warm like this."

She didn't feel it before, but when it was the day of school, she suddenly felt a little reluctant. At this time, she realized the feelings of those parents who sent their children to school in the previous life. She couldn't help sighing, gently stroked his little head, and asked Said: "Big hairy clothes

, I have had someone wrap it up and hand it over to the boys, hand stove, silver frost charcoal and snacks have also been handed over, it is better to have someone to take care of you outside than at home, so I want to replace it anyway, don’t freeze it, if there is anything to do Send a message. "

Jia Lan wanted to say that the teacher's house had prepared hand-stove charcoal pots, and there was no shortage of snacks, but she also knew that this was her mother's wish, so she said, "Don't worry, my son will mediate himself, so you don't have to worry."

After all, Li Wan was worried, and after a few more instructions, he was ordered to see Jia Mu, Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang.

Jia Lan agreed, and when she came out to see Jia's mother, Jia's mother would inevitably have a few words of advice; then she went to see Mrs. Wang;

The chariots and horses on the other side had already been prepared, and Jia Lan took a group of servants with him to Shen's residence, met with Shen Yi, performed the ceremony of apprenticeship, presented him with a bundle of repairs, and since then officially became Shen Yi's disciple.

Afterwards, Jia Lan started to study with Shen Yi, and got up every morning to go to Gu's mansion to study and attend classes. Lunch was also settled in Gu's mansion, and she came back at the end of You hour.

He studied Confucian classics and history in the morning, and learned riding and archery, poetry, calligraphy and painting in the afternoon. Sometimes Shen Yi would take him to the streets to experience the various folk styles, and sometimes he would take him to participate in cultural conferences, and even go hunting in the countryside and so on.

However, Shen Yi is not that kind of strict person, he is relaxed in everything, and will let Jia Lan take a day off every ten days to have a small reunion with his family.

In order to make it easier for Jia Lan to study, Shen Yi also specially ordered the housekeeper to tidy up a small courtyard for him to live in.

Sometimes it was too late, or when it was raining or snowing, or when it was cold, Jia Lan just sent someone home to report a message, and simply stayed overnight in the small courtyard to avoid running back and forth.

Jialan lost his father since he was a child, and no one has ever taught and cared for him like this. He was very grateful, and secretly treated Shen Yi as his father.

Shen Yi's wife died young, and he never remarried since then, and he has no children under his knees. Gradually, he treats Jia Lan as his own. He treats Jia Lan as his little master, and is thoughtful and appropriate in every way.

Jia Lan followed Shen Yi like a fish in water, and Li Wan really felt relieved and started to take care of the affairs of the hot spring village.

The hot spring village in Xishan was originally owned by the Seventh Prince, but now the owner has been replaced by her. Many regulations are inappropriate, so naturally they have to be changed one by one, otherwise it will be a crime of exceeding the regulations.

This should have been done long ago

, The blueprints have already been drawn by someone, but it was already the twelfth lunar month, the weather was too cold, and the New Year was approaching, so it was not easy to start construction, so it has been put on hold until now.

Fortunately, there is no need to make major changes, only a few major points and some details need to be rectified. It is not very troublesome, but it will only cost a few taels of money.

It was inconvenient for Li Wan to come out, so he handed over to the companion Liu Youfu and his wife to take care of it.

Because Mei Xiang married a good family, all of them were entrusted with the grace of the master, so Liu Youfu and his wife were very grateful, and they worked harder and harder to be considerate and appropriate in every way.

Originally, Liu Youfu was in charge of the spring and autumn rents in the southern farm and the small farm in the western mountain, but now that he is getting older, he can't take care of both, so he proposed to hand over the rent collection to his son In charge of Liu Shan, Li Wan compared his son, and saw that although Liu Shan was not as smooth and flexible as Liu Youfu in handling things, he was still loyal and dutiful, so he agreed after thinking about it.

So now Liu Youfu and his wife only take care of the affairs of several small farms and hot springs in the capital.

It was March, and the rain gradually increased. It rained for more than ten days in a row before it began to clear up.

The weather was clear that day, Xia Zhu took Suyun and others to dry the bedding and bedding in the yard, and Biyue also took people to tidy up and clean the house, wiping the tables and chairs.

Dan Ju uncovered the cloisonné enamel tripod-style censer with lotus patterns, threw a handful of lily incense into the censer, and then put the lid back on.

Li Wan had just returned from Daiyu's side, and when he entered the room, he smelled a strong fragrance, and couldn't help but wondered, "What are you doing, burning so much incense?"

Dan Ju was watching someone carrying out a black lacquered suitcase painted with gold and silver inlaid with mother-of-pearl cloud patterns, and said with a smile: "It has been raining for so many days, the house is almost moldy, burn more incense to get rid of it." Taste."

Li Wan listened and nodded, glanced at the gold-painted cages carried by the women, and said: "Apart from the clothes, the books in the study are probably going to be moldy, so they should be taken out to dry."

Dan Ju agreed, and said: "Grandma said that after a while, I will take people to move out after drying the clothes."

After hearing this, Li Wan smiled and said: "Forget it, you should be busy first, anyway, there is nothing to do at the moment, I will take care of the books by myself."

Seeing that she was determined to do so, Danju had no choice but to agree and asked the maids and women to take care of her.

For the sake of convenience, Li Wan simply went back to the house and changed his clothes, picked out a moon white satin jacket and put it on, with a white Luo embroidered cotton skirt tied underneath, and a lake blue satin double-breasted waistcoat, both of which were half new Not old, with a hair full of blue hair, only a white jade inlaid gold flat hairpin is used to form a braid, and a little emerald green hairpin is pinned in the hair.

Deposit, and never wear any jewelry other than that.

After tidying up, Li Wan took the maid to the study to check it out. Fortunately, most of the books were kept in camphor wood boxes, and they were well preserved. Only a small part had mildew and insects, and some were damp. .

Li Wan checked it carefully again, and seeing that there were no omissions, he asked the maids to move out the books that had been cleaned up, and said: "Be gentle with your hands and feet, don't damage the books."

The maids agreed and carefully moved the books to the yard. Some women had already moved out the tables and desks. Fortunately, the yard was spacious enough to dry a lot of clothes and bedding without being too crowded.

Li Wan led the people to arrange the books on several tables, uncovered the moldy parts and carefully dried them.

I was busy in full swing, and suddenly a mother-in-law sent a message, saying that Mrs. Liu had come, and she had something to report to grandma.

The author has something to say: Thank you for all the cute little ones who gave suggestions before. After careful consideration, Lizi decided not to have surgery for the time being. Please wear glasses honestly.
