Chapter 155: First Release "Xiaoyu, be careful!"...

The next morning, I visited Wuyuan.

The light blue clouds mixed with the slightly purple glow, and the first ray of sunlight broke through the horizon, shining obliquely onto the swing in the yard, creating soft ripples.

Wen Yu was dressed neatly. When she stepped out through the door, she immediately saw Song Linsheng sitting on the swing.

At this moment, his figure was as beautiful as jade and his body was as thin as a pine tree. He held a round veil hat in his hand, and the gauze on the brim of the hat was obediently spread on his knees, giving him a rather pitiful look.

It was just an ordinary morning, but because of Song Linsheng, Guanwuyuan was inexplicably given a touch of poetic beauty, as if the mountains and rivers in the distance had all come to embellish the scenery in the courtyard.

"Song Linsheng!" Wen Yu called out crisply, her voice as melodious as pearls falling on a plate. "You're up so early?"

Song Linsheng turned his head in response and saw Wen Yu stepping out from the threshold with a happy look on her face.

She was wearing a sky-blue dress today, and from afar she looked like a cloud among the mountain mists, beautiful and charming yet hazy.

After a moment of daze, Song Linsheng hurriedly replied, "If I have nothing else to do, I'll wait for you in the courtyard."

Song Linsheng hurriedly got up from the swing and walked towards the direction where Wen Yu came from.

When Wen Yu saw him stand up, she quickened her pace, and in a blink of an eye, the two of them were standing together.

She lowered her head and saw the veil hat that Song Linsheng was holding in front of him. It was wrapped with a circle of exquisite pearl curtains, and under the pearl curtains was a veil covering her face. It was more beautiful than the one she used last time.

Although the beads were just embellishments and did not play a big role, Wen Yu was still very happy when she saw the lustrous and shiny silk like brocade in her hands, and she was reluctant to look away for a moment.

No wonder it is said that after the clam spirits transform into human form, they never lack money. Just based on the fact that they can produce pearls, it is hard for them not to be rich.

After all, pearls are expensive in the world, and high-quality ones are even more scarce.

"This...this..." Wen Yu said in a low voice, hesitating and unable to say it out loud.

This veil was clearly a girl's style. If Song Linsheng had brought it over now, who else could it be but her? Previously, Song Linsheng had given her countless jewelry, clothes, hairpins, and rings, and she hadn't appreciated them much. But today, for some reason, Wen Yu's cheeks flushed, and she felt an inexplicable sense of embarrassment.

Song Linsheng lowered his eyes to take a look, then quickly lifted the veil and held it before Wen Yu as if offering a treasure. He suppressed his joy and said softly, "This is for Xiaoyu. Do you like it?"

Wen Yu was delighted, and as if she couldn't wait to hear these words, she took the veil from Song Linsheng's hand, held it in her arms, looked at it from left to right, and couldn't let it go.

"I like it very much!" Wen Yu did not hide her joy at all, and put the veil on her head with a raised hand.

Immediately, the gauze on the veil fell down with Wen Yu's movement, covering her white jade-like face tightly.

Seeing her laughing happily, Song Linsheng couldn't help but smile.

Unexpectedly, he saw Wen Yu pushing aside the gauze curtain with both hands and pinning it to the edge of her veil, revealing her beautiful eyebrows and eyes.

When their eyes met, Wen Yu raised her head slightly in a daze, a little bewildered, and then asked calmly, "What are you laughing at?"

Her eyes were clear, like the first spring in the mountains after the snow melted, and now she was staring at him intently.

Song Linsheng forced himself to suppress the smile that had just risen. In his panic, his eyes darted around, unable to focus. "No, nothing. It's been hot lately, and this is perfect for Xiaoyu."

It not only isolates the summer heat, but also blocks the sight of outsiders.

But he couldn't say the second half of the sentence.

"Xiyan is outside harnessing the carriage, let's go out quickly too." After saying that, Song Linsheng walked ahead as if escaping, heading straight for the archway with hanging flowers in Guanwu Courtyard.

Wen Yu remained confused, then quickly picked up her skirt and ran after him, "Song Linsheng, you're not kidding—"

Song Linsheng, dressed in clear blue, hurried out of the house, followed by Wen Yu's sky-blue skirt. As he passed under the archway with hanging floral patterns, the lush vines swayed and an ambiguous fragrance emanated.

The two of them were like the clouds in the mountains at dawn, chasing each other and entangled all the way to the front yard.

Xiyan held the reins in his hands and stared blankly at the young master and Miss Wen as they quickly walked out of the door and got on the carriage one after another without any delay.

He always felt that something was strange, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

Just as Xiyan was hesitantly rubbing the back of his head, his master's voice came through the curtain, "Xiyan, aren't you leaving yet?"

"Hey! Let's go now!" Xiyan responded repeatedly, and then suppressed his invisible and intangible doubts.

Jingzhong Street, Lushui Lane.

The carriages and horses shook, and the bluestones creaked.

Xiyan drove all the way to the gate of the academy. The wheels of the car rolled over the ground, breaking the tranquility of Green Water Lane. The sound it made indicated that there were guests visiting, but it did not seem noisy.

As the "whoosh" sound of stopping the horse was heard, Xiyan suddenly had an idea in his mind, and he finally knew what was strange!

In the past, when the young master went out, he would always ask Madam Wen to get on the carriage first. But today he came in a hurry and got on the carriage first. This is unusual, isn't it strange?

Xi Yan didn't dwell on the cause of the incident. He just found it amusing to think of the young master's panic. He laughed darkly and then reminded them, "Young Master, Madam Wen, we're here!"

There was silence in the car, and as usual, the two people sitting opposite each other were unwilling to speak.

In the past, Wen Yu always had some snacks and cakes and drank some hot tea in the car, but today he didn't even look at them and didn't touch anything.

Song Linsheng listened to the calls from the inkstone washers outside, but remained motionless. He placed his hands on his chest, his fingertips curled up in his sleeves, where no one could see, and quietly whitened.

It was his fault, he laughed for no reason and couldn't control his emotions, which made Xiaoyu feel timid and embarrassed himself.

Wen Yu on the other side also struggled for a while. As soon as she got on the carriage, Song Linsheng blushed and refused to speak. No matter how much she questioned, it was useless.

She really didn't know why Song Linsheng was laughing so happily.

"Xiaoyu——"

"Song Linsheng——"

After some hesitation, the two of them actually called out each other's names at the same time.

Song Linsheng and Wen Yu's eyes, which had been deliberately avoiding each other, suddenly met at this moment. When their eyes met, they both lost their minds for a moment.

Both of their cheeks were flushed, and their ears couldn't help but feel hot. Although the car was spacious, it was an enclosed space after all. In just a moment, the temperature suddenly rose.

Wen Yu was so anxious that she even forgot what she was going to say. She stood up suddenly and looked up to see that the roof was about to be installed.

"Xiaoyu, be careful!" Song Lin was sitting upright one moment, and the next moment he immediately stood up and raised his hand to protect the back of Wen Yu's head.

Fortunately, Wen Yu reacted quickly and used the right amount of force, so neither of them was injured.

Wen Yu paused and stopped moving forward. She just bent her upper body and looked up at Song Linsheng cautiously.

Just then, Song Linsheng lowered his head and looked at Wen Yu with concern, and their eyes met again.

"Puchi——" Wen Yu couldn't help laughing first.

In the past, they both got off the car one after another, and never stood up at the same time like today, so they just realized how ridiculous it was to be squeezed together.

Song Linsheng bent down and looked at Wen Yu. With a quick turn of his eyes, he knew what Wen Yu was thinking and laughed out loud.

"Can you please get a more spacious carriage next time?" Song Linsheng coaxed softly.

Wen Yu was happy in his heart, but he shook his head seriously. "No, no, Lord Song, please don't be extravagant. Use the money you save to hire a few more teachers for the academy! Hahaha!"

Wen Yu's laughter was crisp and clear, like the sound of pendants and rings colliding.

The previous dullness in the car was swept away, and Song Linsheng and Wen Yu finally smiled again.

Song Linsheng raised the corners of his lips and responded repeatedly, "Okay, I'll listen to Xiaoyu."

The laughter inside contrasted sharply with the tranquility outside. Xiyan had a wooden face. I don’t know where the young master and Miss Wen got so much to say, it seemed like they could never finish talking.

"Master - Madam Wen - it's time to get off the car." Xiyan reminded helplessly.

If you don't get off the car now, it won't be too early to ride home directly.

Wen Yu heard Xi Yan's shout and looked up at Song Linsheng with ill intent, "Let's see who gets off first!"

Without waiting for Song Linsheng to respond, Wen Yu slipped under his armpit, lifted the curtain, and jumped out of the carriage in a blink of an eye.

The sound of Wen Yu's feet landing on the ground was heard outside. Song Linsheng inside laughed dumbly, and then got out of the car immediately.

This academy in Lushui Lane does not occupy a large area. Its main advantage is that the surrounding environment is peaceful and there are many academies and studios, which are suitable for study. Therefore, this place was chosen.

Wen Yu looked up at the main entrance of the academy. It was not about grandeur, but elegance. It was obvious that it was a place for studying.

"Mingde Academy." Wen Yu read the four powerful characters on the plaque, word by word, then turned to Song Linsheng and asked, "Did you choose this name?"

Song Linsheng nodded in agreement. "There's an old saying, 'The way of the university is to manifest the bright virtue,' meaning it helps people understand the innate principles within their hearts. Naming it with the two characters 'bright virtue' is the most appropriate."

Wen Yu agreed with this and nodded frequently following Song Linsheng's words.

She had never read these sentences before, but since Song Linsheng said it, there must be a reason for it.

After washing the inkstone and setting up the carriage, he turned back and saw his own son and his wife, Madam Wen, still chatting on the threshold. He stepped forward and interrupted, "Sir, Madam Wen, the academy is short of staff. There are no doormen or servants to greet us. Please go in quickly, or Mr. Shen won't even know we've arrived."

Wen Yu and Song Linsheng entered Mingde School under the guidance of Xiyan.

There are a few clumps of green bamboo planted in the front yard, and next to it is a bulletin board used to announce schoolwork. Further in are several rooms where books and teaching aids are stored. There are a few screens and a box of old books drying in the yard.

Wen Yu and Song Linsheng walked through the halls and courtyards and finally arrived at the place where the students were studying at the back.

"There are some side rooms in the back that can be used for students to stay, but Ayuan and the others are all living in the mansion right now, and there are no other students, so they haven't been cleaned up yet." Xiyan explained as he pointed.

As they approached, the sound of reading aloud reached them. Wen Yu pricked up her ears and listened attentively. Surprised, she asked Song Linsheng beside her, "Listen, is that A-Yuan's voice?"

"First dress properly, then understand the truth."

"The beginning of propriety and righteousness is to straighten one's appearance and body."

The sound of a child reciting a textbook came from far away. Song Linsheng listened attentively for a moment and replied, "Yes, that's A-Yuan's voice."

"Further ahead is the classroom where students are studying now." Xiyan said, pointing to an archway in front.

The door was hidden behind clusters of green bamboo, with only half of its fan-shaped portion showing, which made it appear quiet and elegant.

"The book says 'I would rather eat without meat than live without bamboo'. Is this what it means?" Wen Yu asked, pointing at the door.

Song Linsheng smiled warmly, his face full of gentle light, "Yes, Xiaoyu is right."

Wen Yu was delighted to receive the affirmation.

She looked at the scene behind the door, but it wasn't clear to her. It was class time now, so they should not disturb them, Wen Yu thought.

"Let's just wait here for a while. It won't be too late to go in after Shen Sheng finishes teaching this class." Wen Yu turned to look at Song Linsheng beside him and suggested.

Song Linsheng nodded. He always responded to Xiaoyu's words.

But from the voice he heard just now, Mr. Shen didn't seem to be in the class.

"Sir, do you and Madam Wen want to wait here? Why don't you go back to the front yard and sit down?" Xiyan suggested.

Wen Yu put his hands behind his back and shook his head in denial, "Let's just stay here. Song Linsheng and I can also look around."

She looked at the flowers and plants here and the arrangements there, and felt that everything was so fresh.

The sound of reading could be heard intermittently from inside. Wen Yu and the other two listened attentively. Although they were outside the class, they were as serious as if they were in the classroom.

Suddenly, a male voice came from behind, breaking the peace.

"Madam Wen, Lord Song? Wash the inkstone—"
