Splendid spring returns

"Oh, no wonder."

The young man suddenly nodded, and Steward Cao smiled again: "You have caught up with the good times. Now Aunt Xin is in charge of the kitchen. She really knows how to use it well. The food is good, frying and frying are all good. The most important thing is that the atmosphere in the kitchen is good. No one dares to be snobbish. This year you live in Changfeng Pavilion, but you have fallen into a lucky nest."

The young man rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "If that's the case, it's our good fortune. I really want to see it this time." He touched another handsome young man beside him: "Yan Hui, don't you think so?"

The young man named Yan Hui nodded, "Yes".

Steward Cao had been observing the two of them since he entered the door, and at this moment he already had some calculations in his heart, and secretly said: This Zhao Chu is smart and lively, but Jiang Yanhui is much more stable.Moreover, the eyes of these two people are clear and calm, so it can be seen that they are not only knowledgeable about studying, if they can pass high school in all subjects, and with the help of the prince to mediate, they may have a bright future in the future.

******************
After a spring rain, the only dozens of remaining flowers on the branches were also ruthlessly swept away, but the tender green leaves stretched out, and the green color was about to drip.

Xin Nian was leaning against the window, casually chatting with Xinghua, when she saw Gu Changting hurried in outside the courtyard gate holding an oil umbrella.

"At this hour, why is the prince here?"

Xin Nian greeted him when he went out, only to see Gu Changting smiling and saying, "There are a lot of things to do in the court today, so I will leave now. Fortunately, there is nothing to do in the yamen, so I will simply come back and steal half a day's leisure. That's right, do you have any snacks here? Hurry up and get some, I drank a bowl of porridge when I got up early, and I have stood up for two hours, and I have already put my heart on the back."

Xin Nian hurriedly instructed Xinghua to say, "Go to the small kitchen, bring some dishes of the dim sum that was newly cooked this morning, and make a pot of good Longjing."

While talking, he helped Gu Changting take off his coir raincoat and bamboo hat, looked outside again, and murmured: "It has been raining all night, and it hasn't stopped until now."

"Who said it wasn't? But it's okay now. Did you hear the thunder last night? It was scary. When I went to court today, I heard that several adults' homes were flooded. Some burned down the stables, and some burned down half of the garden. Changping Hou's family even burned down the ancestral hall."

"so smart?"

Surprised by Xin Nian, Gu Changting nodded, took off his overcoat and only wore loose trousers, sat on a chair and said, "Even in the palace, several fires broke out. Someone saw a thunderbolt coming down, and the fire started after a while. Fortunately, the heavy rain poured down, and the fire was quickly extinguished. At last, it did not cause much damage."

"We haven't heard of such a thing in our house."

Seeing Xinghua come in with snacks, Xin Nian took the plate and put it in front of Gu Changting, saying, "I walked through the whole garden before, and everything was cleaned up, but this kind of water leakage caused by lightning is the most unpredictable..."

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly heard the voice of the little girl outside: "Madam Qian is here?"

Soon Qian came in, and after seeing Gu Changting and Xin Nian, Fang smiled and said: "The concubine asked me to invite the prince, saying that there is no thunder now, and the rain is just right. The prince liked to enjoy the rain with the concubine in the past. If you have time now, why don't you go and have a look."

Gu Changting smiled and said, "I've been running around in the rain for a long time, and I finally sat down to catch my breath. It won't be over now, and I'll go to pay my respects to my mother in the afternoon."

"Yes."

Qian resigned and left.Here Xin Nian smiled and said: "The concubine is already thinking about appreciating the rain, so it can be seen that the Taoist priest has something. After he came, I never heard of that ghost again."

"Who knows? I think it's a bit strange anyway, but as long as my mother is at peace, that's all." Gu Changting stuffed another piece of snack into his mouth, swallowed it in two or three gulps, and asked Xin Nian, "How about the Mr. Xixi I invited for Yaya?"

Xin Nian hurriedly said: "That's a good one. Let me tell you that being a teacher for girls is really humiliating. I should go to the ethnology school to teach. I went to see him that day, and after a few words, I knew that this old man was a first-class scholar. I was afraid that he would be arrogant. If Yaya didn't learn well, what would he do if he got angry and punished the child? If that was the case, I couldn't see Yaya being wronged. Who knew that he was so kind, more kind than you and me, how much Yaya learned from him Today, even her demeanor became calmer, and I heard that several other girls have also learned well. I sent my third sister there yesterday, and she seems to like reading on weekdays, so it's rare to have this opportunity."

Gu Changting raised his eyebrows suddenly, and said with a smile: "When you talk about the third sister, I think of the things you entrusted to me. Do you know how many people live in Changfeng Pavilion now?"

Xin Nian said with a smile: "How can you not know this? I also specially told Sanniang to prepare enough meals for the students. There should be fish for three meals a day. They are all young. If they eat well, they will not only be full of energy, but also help them concentrate on their studies."

Gu Changting nodded: "When my father was here, I traveled all over the world. If I met a poor student with outstanding character and knowledge, I would sponsor him to take the academic examination. I have followed him since I was a child, and I have inherited this habit. This time, the candidates who live in the Changfeng Pavilion are all talented and virtuous. I am especially optimistic about Jiang Yanhui. If Aunt Qin and the third younger sister don't care about their family background, maybe this is a good relationship."

"It's really as good as you said?" Xin Nian's eyes lit up, and then he worried again: "Aunt Qin and the third sister are fine..."

Before I finished speaking, Gu Changting laughed and said: "Don't be so judgmental, just make a conclusion for them. There is only one widowed mother in Yanjia's family. It is not an exaggeration to say that the family is destitute. Before I met him, he was eavesdropping outside the school window while grazing cows. Later, that gentleman saw that he was smart, so he taught him for free for two years and funded him to go to school. Because of his academic progress, he is 22 this year and has not yet married a wife. You said, such a family, Aunt Qin and Third Sister Can you see it?"

"Although the family is impoverished, as long as they have good conduct, are smart, and treat the third sister kindly and respectfully, then it will be a good match."

Xin Nian nodded slowly: "Your eyes are more poisonous than the world. Since you say yes, it must be good. What are you afraid of if you are poor? Don't you still have your prince brother? I am afraid that the young man will be arrogant..."

"If the heart is so arrogant, I will not let the third sister marry. Of course, there must be a strong character, but if it is too much, it means that it is inflexible and narrow-minded. Yanhui is definitely not such a person. You see, he has already lived in Changfeng Pavilion."

Xin Nian smiled and said: "That's fine, I'll go and talk to Aunt Qin's third sister and see their reaction. You also have to help inquire here, don't think it's a good relationship, if someone dislikes you, a rich and powerful family in the prince's mansion, and doesn't want to climb high, we can't force others to make things difficult for us."
