Chapter 82: Stew a Pot with a Cat and a Snake
"Yaoyao, this matter is nineteen, ninety-one, a child's prank, so I don't have to pay attention to it." Hua Yukun felt very distressed when he saw the sweat beads on his daughter's forehead.
In the past, Yaoyao was a standard lady of a family, gentle and gentle, like a Cymbidium raised in a greenhouse, with water and careful care. But since Linlin died... Yaoyao has changed, becoming strong and bold. Her change was because of Linlin's death.
Hua Yukun didn't know whether Yaoyao's changes were good or bad. He just felt distressed, and after that, he felt deeply guilty.
As a father, he can give his daughter too little.
Hua Jingyao raised her face and said seriously: "But what if it is true, someone is really imprisoned. Human life is a matter of all things, it would be better to believe that it exists."
Hua Yukun was stunned for a moment. Yaoyao said it was right. It would rather be believed that life was related to the matter. After Linlin was poisoned, if someone could help her, Linlin would not die.
"There is no need to worry about this batch of paintings, and it's okay to go two days late. Dad and you will check it out."
"Okay," Hua Jingyao was not polite, and pulled her father's sleeve and said, "Take me to the academy for a walk. I know that I don't let you stroll around the academy, but my dad will definitely do it."
"Which academy?" Hua Yukun asked.
"Both families go." Hua Jingyao looked flattering.
Today it is slightly cloudy and the sun is not shining. Sometimes the breeze blows the willows, bringing a hint of moisture.
"Dad, do you know a man named Miao Hong?" Hua Jingyao asked.
"Miao Hong? Who is that?" Hua Yukun obviously didn't recognize him. This was a strange name.
"I heard that he is a student in the academy. I heard that he is good at painting cats. His paintings are very famous in Lixiangyuan." Hua Jingyao repeated what he heard from his friend.
Hua Yukun smiled and said, "That must be a student of Fengyang Academy. If he were from Shuren Academy, he would definitely not dare to hang his paintings in Lixiang Academy."
"Why? Is it because there are many talented people in Shuren Academy who are good at painting?" Hua Jingyao was puzzled.
"That's not." It's rare for his daughter to find out what he is good at. Hua Yukun was very happy and started talking. "In fact, the achievements of these two academies are not much different in the annual provincial examination and commemorative examination. The reason why Fengyang Academy is far more famous than Shuren Academy is because Fengyang Academy was founded by the Zhang family and adheres to the style of Mr. Fengyang. Mr. Fengyang is a talented person, but as we all know, his knowledge is not limited to the eight-legged essay in the imperial examination. Compared with this, he is more unique in creating harmony in piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, astronomy, geography, gold and stone books, and even other various miscellaneous studies. Therefore, Fengyang Academy is also not limited to the academic principles. In addition to the classics, it also cultivates some students with specialized professions."
Hua Jingyao understood that his father only talked about Fengyang Academy, but did not talk about Shuren Academy. He was a gentleman and a good man, so he would not criticize others, especially in places like Shuren Academy.
Students at Fengyang Academy will study and draw as long as they want to study. Whether they are studying or painting, the academy will teach according to their aptitude. However, Shuren Academy is just the opposite. Anything that will affect reading is not allowed.
Therefore, students of Fengyang Academy can hang their calligraphy and paintings in Lixiang Academy for evaluation, but students of Shuren Academy dare not. If they are discovered by teachers, they will be scolded.
It only took one incense stick to go from Zheluxiang to the two academies. The two academies are located at the foot of Xiaogan Mountain, with only a small hillside between them.
This was the first time Hua Jingyao came here. Before that, she always thought that wherever the academy was, it must be extremely quiet and elegant.
But when she really came here, she realized that she was wrong.
I haven't arrived at the two major academies yet, but there are many shops, including book shops, seal shops, pen shops, dim sum shops, braised food shops, bun shops, and restaurants and teahouses of all sizes. Hua Jingyao's eyes are sharp, and she even saw a Qinggong Bookstore.
The so-called Qinggong Bookstore is a romantic place that specializes in entertaining literati and scholars. The female geniuses in it are all Qinggongs, who only sell their skills but not their bodies. Of course, if you give enough money, you will sell them as much as possible.
"Dad, this place is much more lively than our place." Hua Jingyao said.
Hua Yukun liked his daughter's words "our family". In the past, every time his daughter went to Qingyuan's mansion, he never said that. He could give his daughter a house.
"Of course, the people living there are old men, and this is a college. Although there are old men, most of them are young people in their prime." Hua Yukun spoke in his daughter's tone, and his mood was as bright as the sky in March, clear and bright.
"Hey, there are many pen and ink shops here. Let's go and have a walk around." Hua Jingyao said.
There are actually nine Bimo Shops here. When the father and daughter all came out, Qingyu and Qingyan who were following behind each of them held a bunch of them.
Hua Yukun was about to ask Qingyu and the others to take the things back first, and took their daughter to the academy for a walk. Before he could speak, Hua Jingyao said, "Dad, go to the academy another day. I think I already know what I need to know."
Hua Yukun was stunned. What does Yaoyao mean?
Hua Jingyao said to Xiaoli and Shi Ding: "You go to Fengyang Academy and invite the scholar named Miao Hong to Zheluxiang, and say that if he doesn't come, your boss will catch a snake and stew it with the cat and send it to him."
Xiaoli and Shiding, look at me, let me see you, my God, the girl is so fierce!
The father and daughter returned home and had not finished a cup of tea. Xiaoli and Shi Ding brought the person over.
Miao Hong is a thin young man, in her early twenties, with gentle eyebrows and clean face, but her blue cloth robe was stained with a few ink marks, looking a little sloppy.
As soon as he stood still, the cat that was originally in Xiao Ai's arms struggled. Xiao Ai relaxed his hand and the cat rushed down, ran to Miao Hong's feet, and rubbed against his legs.
Miao Hong picked up the cat and kissed it. She looked at Hua Yukun in panic and asked, "Sir, may I ask if this cat has caused trouble? If it breaks something, I will compensate according to the price."
Hua Yukun thought his daughter was too naughty. She scared the poor young man so much that she pointed at Hua Jingyao next to her, turned her back and couldn't bear to look at her.
"I asked someone to invite you over. My surname is Hua and I am Miss Hua." Hua Jingyao said.
On the way here, Miao Hong was already scared by Shi Ding. After coming in, he was surprised to see the beautiful Hua Yukun. He did not expect that the person who called him was a handsome young man. Now he heard Hua Jingyao's words, he was not surprised. Miss Hua is that Miss Hua.
