No. 1 Girl in the Imperial City

Chapter 438 Yuxiu Academy?

In the early morning, the carriage of the Prince Regent's Mansion stopped at the gate of Anlan Academy.

After a while, Luo Junyao got out of the carriage and jumped off the carriage lightly.People coming in and out of the door came forward to salute one after another, Luo Junyao smiled and waved to everyone to signal them to go at their own pace, and walked into the academy with them.

Zhang Jingyu had been waiting in Shanzhang's study for a long time, when he saw Luo Junyao coming in, he quickly got up and said, "You are here."

Luo Junyao waved his hand to signal the people around him to back off, before he asked, "Mr. Zhang, why did you wait here all the time? What happened? You didn't say anything at my elder brother's wedding banquet a while ago."

Zhang Jingyu said: "You are very busy with Mr. Luo's wedding banquet, and it is not something that is imminent, what can I tell you?"

Luo Junyao walked to the side and sat down, dragging his chin with one hand and smilingly said: "Why is Mr. Zhang so anxious now? I thought that Anlan Academy is only a few miles away from the city, so logically nothing big will happen. .”

Zhang Jingyu gave her a helpless look, and said: "I received a post yesterday, I wonder if anyone sent it to you?"

Luo Junyao thought for a while, "Probably not, no one has sent me any posts these days? What are you doing?"

Zhang Jingyu sighed and said, "Didn't I tell you before? The nobles of Shangyong intend to open another women's academy, and invited the head of our academy and gentlemen to watch the ceremony."

Luo Junyao immediately became interested: "So fast? These dignitaries do things differently." How much time and effort does it take to run an academy from site selection to academy construction to teachers and students?It's only been three months since she announced the change of Anlan Academy on the Ghost Festival, right?

Zhang Jingyu rolled his eyes: He said it as if you were not a rich man.

Luo Junyao looked at the post that Zhang Jingyu handed over, and said, "Yuxiu Academy, the name is good. Where is it? Who is the head of the mountain? How many students are there?"

Zhang Jingyu said: "The academy is in the imperial city, and they bought an abandoned garden from the former dynasty near Luhuafang in the east of the city. As for the head of the mountain..."

Zhang Jingyu glanced at Luo Jun and said, "It's Madam Wenchanghou."

Luo Junyao fiddled with the post for a while, before asking, "Who is that?"

"..." Zhang Jingyu looked quietly at the young mountain leader in front of him, and then sighed after a long while and said, "Forget it, it's no wonder you don't know him, their family has been away from Shangyong for more than 20 years, even His Royal Highness the Regent may not know him. Marquis Wenchang's family name is Zhao, and he was a well-known noble in the previous dynasty, and the old Marquis Wenchang was also the teacher of the last emperor of the previous dynasty."

Luo Jun raised his eyebrows and said, "The former imperial teachers had to keep a low profile, but now...people from the Marquis of Wenchang came out to fight me, the princess of the current dynasty? Did they take the wrong medicine?"

Zhang Jingyu ignored her complaints and said: "The current royal family is also a dignitary from the previous dynasty, so they are old acquaintances with the Zhao family. Old Wenchang was also the teacher of the late emperor. When Emperor Gaozu was able to take down Shangyong without bloodshed, the Zhao family also stood up. He has made great achievements, so he was named Wenchanghou by Emperor Gaozu. However, the Zhao family has always been very low-key. After the death of Wenchanghou 20 years ago, the whole family left the capital and moved back to their hometown. This time, I don’t know how these people made this old man I was invited out, but I didn’t receive any news beforehand. If I hadn’t seen the post yesterday, I wouldn’t have known that the Zhao family had returned to Beijing.”

Luo Junyao looked at Zhang Jingyu with some puzzlement and said: "Since the old Marquis Wenchang has passed away for more than 20 years, and the Zhao family doesn't have any outstanding talents, why is Mr. Zhang afraid of this old Mrs. Zhao?"

Zhang Jingyu sighed, and said with a headache: "You juniors were born too late, so you don't know what happened back then. This Mrs. Wenchang Marquis is surnamed Jiang. According to blood, she is the cousin of Emperor Gaozu who was forced to leave Shangyong. The grandfather's family helped each other, and later Gaozu raised troops and Jiang's family caused a catastrophe and was slaughtered by the Bai family. Only such a cousin who married into the Zhao family escaped. Gaozu has always been very guilty of her. She is the princess of Duankang. When I was with the empress dowager, I met this lady a few times. It is said that because of the changes in her natal family, her temperament was very weird. Many times, she didn't even give the empress dowager face. The empress dowager The Empress Dowager and Gao Zu thought about the friendship and experiences of their grandfather's family, and they were very tolerant to her."

Zhang Jingyu paused at this point, looked at Luo Junyao again, and said, "This Mrs. Zhao... hated Anlan Academy very much. Back then, she had a bad relationship with the Empress Dowager and Princess Taihua. Studied at Anlan Academy, and these two were very outgoing and strong when they were young. Mrs. Zhao felt that they did not have the cultivation and etiquette that women should have. She herself has the title of princess, but she is not allowed to be called by that. She only calls herself Mrs. Wenchanghou. Because she thinks that if she is married to her husband, since she married into the Zhao family, only the identity of Mrs. Wenchanghou can represent her identity."

Luo Junyao expressed that he understood, "The big Empress Dowager Zhu?"

Zhang Jingyu glanced at her, and said patiently, "This madam really likes Empress Dowager Zhu. I heard that two poems by this madam were included in the collection of poems prepared by the Marquis of Cheng'en in mourning for Empress Dowager Zhu."

Luo Jun shook his head and said: "I see, Mr. Zhang don't need to worry, let them do whatever they want, as long as it doesn't interfere with Anlan Academy. It's just Mrs. Wenchang Hou, so what?"

Zhang Jingyu was a little helpless, "Forget it, it's good that you know it in your heart. I just want to remind you that the Zhao family has left Shangyong for more than 20 years. It may not be that simple for this old lady to suddenly come back to be the head of Yuxiu Academy."

Luo Jun shook his head and said, "Don't worry, I will pay attention."

"Then, are you going to the Yuxiu Academy ceremony?" Zhang Jingyu asked, pointing to the post that Luo Junyao put on the table.

Luo Junyao thought for a while and said, "Mr. Zhang, go instead of me. I'm a little busy recently and I'm afraid I won't be able to go."

Zhang Jingyu said: "That's fine, since they didn't send a message to the Prince Regent's Mansion, it doesn't matter if you don't go."

After Luo Junyao finished handling the general affairs of Anlan Academy, it was almost lunch time, and she was not in a hurry to leave and took people around the various colleges.

There are many fewer people in Linglong Academy, but the whole academy seems to be busier than before.

In the past, only the Linglong Academy and the Martial Arts Academy were occupied, and many places in the huge academy were empty all the year round.Not to mention that there are more people in the Martial Arts Academy this year, although the other academies have a small number of people, they are finally getting angry.

Luo Junyao stood outside the teaching room of the medical school and looked in through the open window. Five or six young girls were sitting inside listening to a gentleman's lecture.

Luo Junyao saw Liu Ruoqiu who was sitting at the back at a glance. She sat upright and listened intently to her husband's lecture, and took up a pen and ink to take notes from time to time.

It can be seen that she is really interested in medicine.

Luo Jun smiled, signaled the people behind him not to disturb others in class, and took a few steps back quietly before turning and leaving.

At noon, Luo Junyao was ready to leave the academy after having lunch in Su Yutang. As soon as he walked out of Su Yutang, he heard Liu Ruoqiu's voice behind him, "Princess...Shan Zhang!"

Luo Junyao looked back and saw Liu Ruoqiu hurriedly chasing after him, trotting all the way with her skirt in her hands, looking quite anxious.

Luo Junyao waited for her to come to him before he smiled and said, "Miss Liu, what's the matter?"

Liu Ruoqiu stood still in front of her, put down her hand holding her skirt in embarrassment and hastily saluted, "Shan Chang is well."

Luo Jun shook his head and said, "I'm fine, what do you want to tell me?"

Liu Ruoqiu looked at Ling Lan, who was following Luo Junyao, and then calmed down before whispering: "I...I want to ask the princess, that young master that day..." Halfway through speaking, she felt a little embarrassed, and said embarrassingly : "Excuse me sir, I'm just a little worried..."

Luo Jun smiled and said: "It's okay, he's fine right now."

Only then did Liu Ruoqiu heave a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "That's good, thank you, Head of the Mountain." After saying that, he bowed his knees to Jun Luo again, and bid farewell softly.

Luo Jun blinked his eyes, turned his head to Ling Lan and asked something, "She ran all this way just to ask this question?"

Linglan also knew about what happened in Luo Mingxiang's other courtyard that day, and said with a soft smile: "After all, it was a shared adversity, and it's only natural for Miss Liu to worry about Mr. Chen."

"All right." Luo Jun shook his head, "Tell Chen Xun later, at least he saved his life."

Naturally, Linglan should be, and the two of them strolled towards the outside of Anlan Academy.

As soon as he entered the gate of the palace, the steward came to report that Mr. Luo and Mrs. Young were visiting, and they had been waiting for the princess for a long time.

Luo Junyao didn't even change his clothes, so he hurried to see Luo Jinyan and Su Rui.

Luo Jinyan and Su Rui are not outsiders, so the steward naturally didn't invite people to drink tea in the lobby like ordinary guests, but invited them into Jingyuan.

When Luo Jun swayed past, the two were walking and chatting in the garden.

Looking at it from a distance, the talented men and the beautiful women walk hand in hand, it really looks like a newlywed couple with deep affection.

"Brother, Sister Arui!" Luo Junyao walked over quickly, looked at the two and rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "No, it's brother, sister-in-law!"

Su Rui gave her a helpless look, with a charming face, she said helplessly: "Where did the princess go?"

Luo Junyao leaned over and put his arms around Su Rui's arm and said with a smile: "I'm going to the academy, why is my eldest brother and sister-in-law free to visit me today? Are you going to come back tomorrow?"

Luo Jinyan said: "It's boring for A Rui to stay at home. I happen to have something to tell you, so I came to see you together."

Luo Jun shook his smile and said, "Let's go over there and talk."

Taking the two of them to the gazebo in the garden and sitting down, Luo Junyao stared at them curiously.

Both of these two are masters who can't show emotions, Luo Junyao really can't see what is going on with their current relationship.But getting along is at least relatively harmonious and happy. As for the future, it depends on the two of them, and outsiders can't interfere.

Luo Junyao poured tea for the two of them with his own hands, before he asked, "What do you want to tell me, brother?"

Luo Jinyan said: "I have already made an agreement with the prince, A Rui and I will leave Shangyong for Huaizhou in five days."

"So fast?" Luo Jun shook the smile on his face and looked up at the two of them.

Luo Jinyan said: "A few days ago at the wedding banquet, the prince had already informed the officials of the court about the appointment, and the edict was officially promulgated after the early court the day before yesterday. It is a long way from Shangyong to Huaizhou. It's going to be the end of April."

Luo Jun shook his face and said: "But what's the problem in southern Xinjiang?"

Luo Jinyan shook his head and said, "It's not a big deal. Since the Marquis of Lingchuan is not in an emergency, it means that everything is still under control. It's just that Governor Huaining's situation is not very good. He has been urging the court to send someone to replace him and was suppressed by the prince. "The reason why Marquis Lingchuan was sent to southern Xinjiang the year before last was also to prevent Governor Huaining from having someone who could take charge of the overall situation.

Luo Junyao also knew that there was no room for delay in the court affairs, so he could only look at Su Rui and said, "Have you packed your luggage? Sister-in-law, if you need anything, just tell me, don't be polite."

Su Rui smiled and said, "Don't worry, Yaoyao, we didn't have much luggage, and we already knew what to pack."

Luo Junyao sighed and said: "You just got married and are about to leave. The Su family must be very reluctant. Sister-in-law should spend more time with the family these few days. If there is anything else that needs to be taken care of in Shangyong, just tell me and I will help you manage."

Su Rui was very heart-warming, and said softly: "Thank you, Yaoyao, I know. We are still young, maybe we can come back and have a look in a year or so."

Luo Junyao also smiled, "Sister-in-law is right." It's because the traffic is so bad these days, that the parting is even more sad.

The three sat and talked for a while, and the steward said that the prince is back.

Luo Jinyan had something to discuss with Xie Yan, so he got up and went to see Xie Yan in the study, leaving only Luo Junyao and Su Rui talking in the garden.

As soon as Luo Jinyan left, Luo Junyao threw himself on Su Rui's side, and said with a small smile, "Sister A Rui, how have you been these two days? You didn't bully my elder brother, did you?"

Su Rui nodded her cheeks with a smile and raised her eyebrows: "Didn't you say you were on my side? Why didn't you ask your elder brother if he bullied me?"

Luo Junyao took it for granted, "Why would my elder brother bully you?"

My elder brother likes you, it's too late to treat you well, so how can he be willing to bully you?

Su Rui said softly: "It's very good, we get along very well."

It was indeed very pleasant, Su Rui was not worried at first.No matter how strong her heart is, she will eventually live with a man she is not familiar with in the name of husband and wife.No outsider can know how much inconvenience and embarrassment there is.

But Su Rui's worries didn't come true. Apart from being a little uneasy on the night of the wedding, the two of them seemed to have quickly found the most suitable way to get along.

Both of them are extremely intelligent characters, and there is no conflict in terms of personality or talent and hobbies.It's naturally very easy to get along with each other, but after two days, it feels like a friend who has been friends for many years.

Luo Jun shook his head and said: "That's good, I also think you will get along very happily."

Luo Jinyan and Su Rui, no matter in terms of appearance, personality or other aspects, just stand together and look very harmonious.but……

Luo Junyao was a little worried, would the two really become friends?

But after thinking about it, two equally excellent young couples, one of whom has made it clear that he is interested in the other, have been getting along like this for a few years and still don't feel the slightest.Then her elder brother might as well throw himself into the river, it is totally unworthy of sympathy.

"What is my sister-in-law going to do after going to Huaizhou? I heard that Huaizhou is much more comfortable than Shangyong, and many girls' families can also go out to make a living by themselves."

Su Rui smiled and said: "I heard that Huaizhou is rich in tea and spices. I plan to go there first. But I'm not interested in business. I plan to go there. If possible, I also want to open a college. I’ll have to see how it goes.”

Luo Jun shook his head, "Okay, if you need help, just write back and let me know."

Su Rui naturally agreed, took Luo Junyao's hand and said: "Don't talk about me, the matter in Huaizhou is still far away. I heard that Shangyong wanted to open a new Yuxiu Academy, and invited the late wife of Wenchanghou to come back to do it." The head of the mountain?"

Luo Jun smiled and said, "Sister-in-law is very well informed, I only found out this morning."

Su Rui smiled, "I just received the news this morning."

Su Rui's popularity among the ladies in Shangyong is very good, because although many people have alienated her due to her divorce and engagement with the Luo family, there are still many people who still have the same relationship either openly or privately.

After all, it is many years of friendship, and not all of them are false.

It's just that girls in boudoirs have many restrictions, and not everyone can live according to their own wishes.

Luo Jun said: "Mr. Zhang told me for a long time this morning, what does my sister-in-law know about this Mrs. Wenchanghou?"

Su Rui said: "When I was born, Mrs. Wenchanghou had left Shangyong for ten years. I heard it from my grandmother and mother. You should be careful. I heard that this old lady has a tough personality and is not easy to deal with."

Luo Jun said: "I don't care about the old man. As long as she doesn't provoke me, I won't provoke her either. But if she is just looking for trouble, don't blame me for being rude."

Su Rui smiled helplessly and said: "Although Marquis Wenchang passed away many years ago, the Zhao family is also a famous noble family. The Zhao family's ancestral home is in Nanzheng, a prominent family in Liangzhou, and has a good reputation among scholars. Be careful, don't turn around and make trouble Disrespecting the reputation of elders and widows of veterans."

Luo Junyao propped his chin and sighed: "I try my best, I hope they don't come to provoke me, I'm busy recently."

She is really busy.

You have to worry about the affairs of Anlan Academy. Recently, you are also very interested in the affairs of Qingzhou and Yingzhou. You really don't want to fight with the old man.

Thinking about the three melons and two dates around me, I really should find some helpers.
