sinking into sand

More than ten years ago, Peony Academy was first built, as Ye Wanwan said before, to house the orphans who fled during the Jian'an Rebellion.

It was a troubled time, and it wasn't just the daughters of poor families and the children of refugees who lost their parents' protection.There are also many girls who come from good families who have encountered disasters or natural disasters.

Girls are no better than boys, and boys still have the opportunity to come out to work and earn money to support themselves. Girls lose their parents in such an environment, and they almost always end up in the land of fireworks.

Xie Pinlan had just arrived at the Lijiang River in those days. She originally came to the Lijiang River to garrison with the army. Later, when the battlefield was scorched, the army moved northward, but she did not leave.It's hard to say if it's because of seeing these girls that I feel compassion.

In the beginning, they just bought a piece of land in the cheapest Fangshi on the Lijiang River, and settled these girls hastily, giving them some daily necessities and food regularly.But these remaining girls started to run their own business, divided into several institutes according to experience and age, and began to sell handmade necklaces and embroidery in Pingchunfang.

Although this is a job, but most of these girls come from poor backgrounds, and their craftsmanship naturally cannot be recognized by Pingchunfang, a gold-selling cave.If it is sold to ordinary households, small households can make it themselves, and the war is raging, and the price of food is soaring, who will buy these and use them back.

Yet the move was not without help.One day, a procuress from a brothel in Chunfang suddenly came to visit. He said that he met a woman who came to sell Yingluo by chance and mentioned that there were women here who were literate and had studied for several years, and asked if they could give it to their girls do mr.

The brothels in Pingchunfang have been competing with each other for many years. Your family hired a husband, and my family is no different.There is indeed such a need. The top oirans are all top interpreters, and they need to be cautious in every word and deed. Naturally, they need to be literate and courteous.

It is said that when Dingzhou was in its heyday, those noble families would even invite oirans to teach their wives and daughters the art of sex.These were not fashionable in the Lijiang River, but with the war, more wealthy people moved to the north, and these arty habits were brought here.

But those serious scholars, who would like to teach a group of prostitutes to read.The old bustards of Pingchunfang ran into walls left and right, and finally they begged the group of orphans who were temporarily sheltered.

Moshu was originally the daughter of a scholar, and she knew all the classics.She refused to say the surname, but based on Mu Yao and the others' subsequent observations, it was by no means an unknown person, but some great Confucianist.It's just that if she doesn't say it herself, others won't ask.

Teaching one is teaching, and teaching two is also teaching.For a while, the shelter was turned into a school.There are no rules about who can listen and who can't.Those homeless girls followed suit.

At this time of year, those who have been reduced to brothels are also girls from poor backgrounds, and the oiran ladies can't help but feel some sympathy for these little girls.And because he was grateful for Mo Shu's teaching, in his spare time, he used the skills he was famous for to teach these girls.

Dancing and music, playing chess, appreciating paintings and tasting tea, all of which are lacking.

On Xie Pinlan's side, she still has a lot of work to do during the day.It was so easy to remember this shelter, and when I ran over to see it, this was what I saw.

A group of girls are divided into several groups according to what they want to learn, whether in the yard or in the house.It looks very harmonious.

Xie Pinlan was surprised that the asylum could develop into such a state by itself, and also heard that Mo Shu's knowledge was amazing, so she felt pity for her talents.So he set aside a considerable sum from his private treasury, on the one hand, it was used for the construction of the academy, and on the other hand, he continued to look for famous scholars who were willing to teach to teach these girls.

It is of course useless to use money to hire these great Confucians.

But things turned around so smoothly.The reputation of Moshu is growing day by day, and these romantic and fireworks-loving ladies and gentlemen sang tea circles and songs one after another, spreading the talents of Moshu far and wide.

Naturally, some people are not convinced, and they want to yell and scold, and they want to say that Mo Shu is a woman, what kind of knowledge does she have.

So when the public opinion was boiling, Xie Pinlan held a ten-day debate in Peony Academy.One question a day, all people of insight can come to the stage to reason.

In the first two days, because of the novelty of this matter, not many people responded.In the back, there were really great literary scholars who went to argue.

In this way, Mo Shu debated with others on stage for ten days, which established the reputation of Peony Academy for the next ten years.

until that night.

"The group of people who broke into Peony Academy that night used medicine." Yu Sha's voice was cold: "The medicine is too strong, and people feel hot all over their bodies, as if they had supernatural power. Come in."

Yu Sha slowly read the names of those people, Guan Lan listened silently, and asked: "I seem to have seen these people at the banquet."

Yu Sha smiled coldly: "Yes, they destroyed Peony Academy, and now they have become nobles of Peony Academy."

He looked at Guan Lan: "They are all dignitaries. When they were in Peony Academy, they not only committed adultery, but also killed people. The people in that academy all have blood certificates."

Guan Lan has already thought of the follow-up: "So, the girl from Peony Academy changed from a good citizen to a lowly citizen overnight."

Peony Academy is located in Pingchunfang, and the identities of good citizens all depend on the blessing of Xie Pinlan back then.Now that Xie Pinlan is not here, what's so difficult about reducing these girls to low status?

Once reduced to a humble status, he is a slave, and he can be beaten or killed.At that time, it would be no big deal to kill a few slaves.

But one day, Prince Li's mansion issued an official document and changed the date, and the gatekeepers from all over the Jinzhan Pavilion filled the streets of Fangshi on the Lijiang River.All of a sudden, everyone knew that Peony Academy had fallen into dust.

It's just that the people who did this didn't expect that Peony Academy was so famous at that time, and the folks caused an uproar because of this matter.There was no other way, so he used Mo Shu's death to fill the hole.

It is said that Mo Shu died of a sudden illness that day, and Peony Academy was afraid that losing this great scholar in the literary world would damage its prestige and interests, so it concealed it and did not report it, causing Mo Shu's body to be damaged and festered.When this matter came to light, the government naturally wanted to seek justice for her, so she was demoted to Peony Academy.Long (legs; old; aunt finishing

As soon as this statement came out, no matter how many people had doubts, they gradually stopped raising it as the years passed.

"After that, the only ones I knew in Peony Academy were My Niang, Xun Er, Si En and Lu Hua. I took Xun Er with me, and Si En seemed to be appreciated by Mrs. Lingyun. It’s a small house, and it’s settled like this. As for Lu Hua...you’ve seen it too.”

Yu Sha spoke slowly, telling Guan Lan all about the subsequent chaos in the Lijiang River, and talked about the bright sky.

Guan Lan pondered for a long time, and he understood Yu Sha's meaning, if Prince Li's mansion was the instigator and the Dingzhou court was involved.It is true that they are the only ones in the Guan family who seem to be able to take this righteous name and go south to avenge these girls.

"It's not just revenge." Yu Sha looked at his expression, and said slowly, "Lu Hua... Peony Academy has been lingering until now, in fact, it is because of Lu Hua's commitment to Li Qihua. Now that there is still a turning point , I really don’t want her to stay there any longer.”

Guan Lan thought about it for a while, and said, "So you mentioned the banquet at Peony Academy earlier, because you wanted me to meet Si En and Lu Hua?"

This layer of selfishness was exposed by Yu Sha. Although he was insinuating and was a little shy after all, he finished his explanation: "If I go by myself, they won't listen. If you are here, maybe you can persuade them to go."

It's just that he didn't expect Lu Hua to be so stubborn.

Guan Lan glanced at him, did not express any opinion, and said, "Since the matter is so clear, needless to say about the witness testimony, what about the physical evidence?"

Yu Sha: "...you still have to go back to the Bliss Square. Mo Shu also died violently in his room that day. As long as it can be proved that Mo Shu was indeed killed by someone, the rest will be self-defeating. What's more The bliss party is poisonous, it is really a disaster, even if it is just for this medicine, it should be enough to ask the court to investigate thoroughly."

Guan Lan closed his eyes and moved his neck.I didn't sleep all night, and I heard Yu Sha talk about ancient times here.Although not tired, but the body is indeed a little stiff.

He turned his eyes, looked at Chen Guang with squinted eyes, and said, "So for the next thing, what you need is for me to find evidence related to the preparation of the Bliss Formula and the trafficking, and then bring the witnesses from Peony Academy to close the house together."

"Ah... um, um." Yu Sha replied. He cried a lot and stayed up all night, so he couldn't react.It's just that Guan Lan's tone of voice is instinctively wrong.

"Let's not talk about it, do you want to eat something first or sleep first." Guan Lan stood up and looked at Yu Sha in the morning light.

Yu Sha was still sitting on the ground, the sun was shining, his eyes were not only tired but also confused.

"You have nothing else to say?" Yu Sha asked.

"Huh? No." Guan Lan replied, reaching out to pull Yu Sha up from the ground.Yu Sha's movements suddenly changed, his legs felt numb, and he staggered forward.

Guan Lan supported him, and said: "I just said that you are not stable, and you are still angry."

Yu Sha never expected that he could think of this at this time, and he was a little annoyed: "I'm very busy, how can I have time..."

"Then don't wait, let's practice again." Guan Lan looked into his eyes, paused for a moment, and said, "Let's go, go down and have breakfast."

After speaking, he let go of his hand and turned to go out.

Yu Sha stayed where he was, still confused.He seemed to feel that Guan Lan had changed, but he really didn't know what it was.

And it seemed that the moment he was pulled up from the ground by Guan Lan and almost bumped into Guan Lan, something seemed to have changed in him.
