The two were escorted out of the academy. Dongsheng looked at her and said, "Chunxiao, I now realize that you are truly extraordinary. Your lecture today was truly excellent."
"Okay?" Chun Xiao touched her face. "Can't you see I'm nervous?"
Dongsheng shook his head and said, "I want to learn from you right here."
Chun Xiao shook her arms and smiled. "I was actually quite nervous. You don't know. Yan Qi told me yesterday that there were so many scholars here. Who would believe me, a village woman, teaching a scholar? Now it seems that the atmosphere in this library is really good. At least they don't look down on me, don't you think?"
"Where did you learn all this? From books? Why did the director of the academy say he had never heard of it?" As for the books she had read, as a woman, how could she not have read as many as the director?
Chun Xiao smiled dissemblingly. "I read some of this in books, but most of it is something I figured out on my own. It's not surprising they don't know. Think about it, their scientific examinations don't test this, and who would have the time to research this? Only I have the time." Checking the time, "Why don't we go back to Sanye Town? We should be home by nightfall if we leave now. Is there anything else you need?"
"No, then go back."
The two hurried back to the horse shop, said goodbye to Wangfu, and drove the carriage with Xiaohua out of the county. They didn't get along as expected, and they arrived home at dark.
It was too late when Chunxiao returned, so he did not report to Yan Dashan, but drove the carriage directly back to his own house.
The people in the house didn't expect them to come back today. When they heard the knock on the door, Xia Daying, who was on duty in the front yard, was a little nervous. It was not until he heard Xiaohua's voice that he confirmed that they had returned and hurried to open the door.
Xiaohua drove the car all the way back to the backyard from the side road, "Miss, it's dark now, what should we do with the jewelry?"
"The carriages are in the stables. Tomorrow morning when I go there, you can help me sort them out in the room. I'll sort them out myself when I get back. Once you're done, go and rest. You're all tired today."
Ximei knew she was back and came over to bring her bath water. The two took a bath and then rested.
She got up very early in the morning. Except for feeling a little hot, she felt comfortable all over. She washed, changed her clothes, and left her yard and went out.
It was still early, and the Zhou family hadn't left the house yet. They were very surprised to see her, "You're here so early, did you come back last night?"
"Yeah, I came back too late last night and there was nothing important, so I went home first. I hope everything is going well at home these days."
"Well, that Mr. Fu came over again a few days ago. He left when you were not around. He knew our Shuwen was getting married and said he would come to watch the ceremony on the 8th. You said he was so attentive. It's no big deal if he came more often. The people in the village will gossip about him."
"You can control me, and I can control him, too. He just wants to know about the cotton. Let him be. The day is coming soon. How are the preparations at home?"
"You said so. I'll be back after a month away. I originally wanted you to help me. Your sister-in-law cleaned up their house and bought a lot of things. If you have time, please help her take a look."
Just as he was talking, Tian came out and said, "Little sister, you're back. When did you come back? Why are you standing at the door talking? Come in."
"I just replied last night. I'm sorry, sister-in-law, I didn't help with such a big thing."
"What can I do for you?" Tian laughed. "There are so many people at home. Have you sorted out the affairs of the carriage and horse business?"
"I've sorted it out. I went through all the places, so it took a while. I also checked out all the shops, and they're all pretty good. Yesterday when I returned to the county town, I also checked on Xiaoqi and the other two. They're both fine now, so don't worry."
"You went to the county town to see Yan Qi? That's good. I've been feeling a bit uneasy since I changed schools. I wanted to ask his father to find a chance to go see him, but Dashan and his father have been very busy with Shuwen's affairs recently and haven't had the time."
"Where are Dad and the others?"
"They went to the farm yesterday and may have been late and didn't come back."
"Have you been working in the fields these days?"
"The cotton in the fields has started to boll, so I have to go and check on them. It's not as busy as before, but I just have to keep an eye on them more."
"Sister-in-law, have you prepared everything? Mother said that you have decorated your new house. I will go and take a look later."
"You have to help me check if there's anything missing so we can fill it in time."
Tian brought Chunxiao to the middle suite. As soon as Chunxiao entered, she saw the changes inside. The chairs in the main room were all brand new. They should be the latest styles bought from the furniture store. There were various beautiful shelves against the wall. She followed to the new house.
As soon as you enter, there is a new carved wooden bed on the side. Not far from the bed is a dressing table with a bronze mirror. To the right of the bed are two multi-layered and exquisite carved cabinets. In the middle is a round table with four stools. There is a desk by the window. This is the general layout. The room is large and there are clothing racks and boxes.
"Sister-in-law, these aren't made by Uncle Wu, they're all bought right now, right?"
"Uncle Wu's work isn't as good-looking as this. Besides, he can't do it now. This is what Dad and Dashan bought in the county town. How about it? It looks good, right? As for the curtains, I didn't hang them out to avoid them getting dusty."
"It looks great! This young man is enjoying himself. He has everything he wants when getting married." She looked at it again and said, "This is enough. I don't think there is anything else to add. If there is anything missing, it's probably a good tea set. I'll prepare that."
"Yeah, I forgot about the tea set. Take another look and see if there's anything missing."
