The two walked all the way to Xu's house. The red silk in Xu's yard had been removed, and the newly transplanted potted plants were growing just right, and the yard seemed to have a bit of life.
"I'm going to have someone plant a grape on the side and make a grape trellis. It's also a good place to enjoy the cool air." Sun Xiang likes the grape trellis in Su Wan's yard very much, but her yard is too small to put it down and look at it. crowded. "
"Beams are being erected in the yard next door. In a few days, it will be covered with tiles. If the two yards are connected, there will be room for the grape trellis. If possible, dig another pond and raise a few fish. .¡±
The corners of Su Wan's mouth twitched, thinking that this is really the idea of ??Xie Si'an's second yard, and even planned what to plant, but she just didn't say anything.
If the two exchange money with Xie Si'an, and Xie Si'an is willing to do so, then one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, so it doesn't matter to others.
"It's already summer, and it's not easy to transplant flowers and plants. You can see what potted plants you like in the flower garden at the back, and you can move more."
The yard is only so big, and it is impossible to plant flowers all year round, but if not, it would be too monotonous, so the usefulness of these potted plants is revealed.
In the courtyard where Su Wan lives, except for the flowers and plants she planted herself and the small flower garden, the rest of the flowers and plants are moved from the back garden every month to replace them. They are all potted plants made of clay or white porcelain pottery. Four seasons of flowers and plants are planted.
Sun Xiang gave up: "I don't like those flowers and plants, I will grow some myself later."
Su Wan paused: "the ones you planted are probably intended to poison people to death?"
"I can't die." At most, it has some medicinal properties. It is too poisonous and she dare not plant it. Even if she wants to plant it, she must find an inaccessible place, right?
"I'll give some to Madam at that time."
"No." Su Wan thanked and refused, she didn't want weird plants to appear in her yard, if she touched them by accident, she would have to shed a layer of skin.
Su Wan sat at Xu's house for a while, seeing that the yard was well cleaned up inside and out, drank a cup of tea, said goodbye and left.
She thought to herself, now only one Jiubian is married, and if all these people get married and start families in the future, she will be very busy.
As the mistress, she can't take care of too many things outside, but these female relatives always have to take care of them. When men work outside, they always have to let their wives and children live in peace.
When it was getting dark, the lights in the courtyard were lit, and the banquet in the garden dispersed. Li Lin took Shi Chongshan to the hospitality garden, and gave him the layout plan of the academy drawn by Su Wan.
He himself added a little bit to the picture to improve it, and it was almost there.
In addition, I also gave him the academy plans and prepared bank notes I had made in the past two days.
"As for the matter of the library, my uncle went to Hongyan Academy to talk about it. I want a copy of each book. When the time comes, let the students copy it. I just give them money according to the price of the book. Hongyan Academy will not refuse."
Unless Hongyan Academy wanted to cross the river and tear down the bridge, and turn against Shiqiao Academy, it would not dare not agree.
Today's Hongyan Academy naturally does not dare to turn against Shiqiao Academy, and they are even more afraid that Shiqiao Academy will tear up the agreement.
And those books can also be bought outside, so they are not precious, but it just takes a lot of effort.
"I can't wait for you to raise the money, so I gave three thousand taels first, half of what was agreed on the day, if it is not enough, I will add more, if it is too much, I will add some pens, ink, paper and inkstone for the academy. "
Shi Chongshan moved his lips. In fact, he didn't want the money, but he also knew that it would be very difficult for people like the Shi family to get together the money to build the academy. It's like throwing money in the water and never getting it back.
If he was asked to ask for money, he would naturally not be able to ask for it, but if Li Lin himself was willing to give it, he would not be able to say no to it.
After all, this amount of money was a huge sum of money to them, but it was nothing to Li Lin.
After a long time, Shi Chongshan accepted the bank note: "Then I will accept it, and thank you for your effort."
Li Lin also handed over some of the materials he compiled to teach students: "I will not be in the academy in the future, so I ask my uncle and the dean to worry about it."
Shi Chongshan felt regretful: "You really don't want to be a teacher anymore. According to your ability, you can teach several generations of students. In the future, there will be peaches and plums all over the world. It is also possible to become a famous teacher in the world."
"No."
Shi Chongshan sighed: "But it's true, even if you want to be a husband, you won't be able to do it for a few years. Like your father, you always have to leave. You guys always have more important things to do. To be a husband , leave it to us people."
"I don't know how long you will stay here?"
Li Lin paused, but did not answer this question. He didn't have a very accurate time here, and if Su Wan felt tired of staying here, they couldn't tell if they changed places.
"When will Uncle go to the Imperial City?"
"I originally planned to go there in two days, but there are too many things to do in the academy, and the dean is getting old. No, I can't get away."
Dean Shi is not only the dean of Shiqiao Academy, he is also a member of the Shi family, the uncle of Shi Chongshan. Shi Chongshan really couldn't leave the matter to Dean Shi, so he ran away.
If nothing else, the next dean of the academy will be Shi Chongshan.
"I told you to let your aunt go and have a look first, and meet with the Cao family, but your aunt didn't dare."
In fact, if Su Wan could accompany him on the trip, then everything would be safe, but the Shi family did not have such a big face, and the two families did not have such a great friendship for Su Wan to accompany him on the trip.
When Mrs. Zhou heard about the Song family, on the one hand, she felt that marrying an official daughter-in-law as a daughter-in-law is a glorious thing, and on the other hand, she was worried that she would be humbled in front of her daughter-in-law in the future, which was also very worrying.
"Yesterday, I wrote a letter and asked someone to send it to the Imperial City to ask your cousin what the Cao family's plan is. The date of meeting can be later, after I finish some academy affairs, Then go with your aunt and Yunpu."
After all, Ji Yunpu used to be the son of the clan, so he can understand some of the things. With him, Shi Chongshan feels more at ease.
"That's fine." Li Lin thought for a while, and said what Su Wan had mentioned earlier,
"When my mother was alive, my father bought a lot of jewelry for her, and left a lot. The princess mentioned this a few days ago, and said that it is useless to leave it alone. Let me choose it for my cousin and the others. A few things, it is a gift from the mother to the nephew and niece.¡± (Remember the website website: www.hlnovel.com
