Chapter 300 Xixi Blessing
"What do you mean by lying?" Gu Xixi squinted and said, "You said it so harshly."
"I'm just proposing a concept and packaging it! It's just packaging."
"If this can make Mr. happy, then we will be happy too. It's a win-win situation."
Shitou was confused, but finally he understood. It was definitely a good thing to kill two birds with one stone.
A few days later, after a spring rain, the weather turned warm again.
Shepherd's purse grew in sunny places, and the orchids in Pinlanju also survived after transplantation.
A half-worn cloth-covered horse-drawn carriage slowly drove into Huachidu Village.
Old Qian got up early, put on his best robe, and rode his donkey to lead the way in front of the carriage.
He was grinning the whole way, unable to suppress the smile.
When the children playing by the roadside saw this, they knew that the new teacher had arrived and immediately ran to call for help.
When the carriage arrived outside Pinlanju, many adults and children had already gathered there.
The driver took down the footstool and put it on the side of the carriage.
All the villagers stared at the carriage and were surprised to see the blue curtain being lifted, revealing a head full of gray hair.
Why is he an old man?
When he bent down and looked up, his face was indeed that of an elderly man.
This person had a calm expression, but when he turned his eyes to look at people, a hint of seriousness naturally appeared.
Old Qian took a few steps forward, bowed and said, "Master Song."
Master Song returned the greeting, "Thank you for troubling Village Chief Qian to lead the way for us."
The door curtain of the carriage moved again, and Mr. Song immediately turned around and stretched out his hand.
"Ma'am, slow down."
I saw a woman coming out, her long hair tied up in a bun, with a pomegranate-patterned silver hairpin inlaid with jasper inserted diagonally.
Only when the woman got off the bus did everyone see her face.
Although the traces of time are clearly visible, she has a smile on her lips and gentle eyes, making her amiable and approachable.
Old Qian then introduced to the villagers, "This is Song Qingshan, Mr. Song, the former schoolmaster of Qingtian County."
"This is Mrs. Song."
It was like a stone falling from a great height into a pond; the crowd suddenly became agitated and began to talk a lot.
"Xueling? This is a teacher in the government's family, he has an official position!"
"Is he so powerful? Is he still an official now?"
"I already said that he is my predecessor, the former schoolmaster, so he must have stopped being one."
"Hey, such a talented person comes to our village school to teach?"
"It was Mr. Liu who found him. It seems that Mr. Liu is also a big shot!"
…
Lao Qian cleared his throat vigorously, "Everyone, be quiet!"
"Mrs. Song and Mrs. Song just arrived and haven't rested yet, but they heard our people arguing."
Mr. Song said, "It's okay. It will be more lively when we get together."
Old Qian smiled and nodded in agreement, thinking to himself that although Mr. Song had a serious expression on his face, his personality was more approachable than he had imagined.
Old Qian said loudly, "From now on, Mr. Song and Mrs. Song are not only distinguished guests of our village, but also our own people."
"We should respect these two as honored guests, and help and love them as if they were our own family."
Mrs. Qin was stunned in the crowd.
When she heard everyone applauding, she came to her senses and quickly pushed aside the others to find Gu Xixi.
Gu Xixi turned her head and saw that it was Mrs. Qin. She smiled knowingly and asked, "Are you here?"
Mrs. Qin panted and said, "Song, Song Qingshan, I know this name! He is the former best schoolmaster in the county school. He has taught many Juren and Jinshi, and the highest one is Tanhua. Many of his students are now high-ranking officials... Mr. Song!"
Gu Xixi smiled, "This prefix is really long."
Mrs. Qin grabbed Gu Xixi's arm, her voice trembling with excitement, "The man I told you about a few days ago, is it him, is it him?"
Gu Xixi had no choice but to nod, "Yes, it's him, that's him."
Mrs. Qin put her hands together, looked up to the sky and smiled, "That's great."
"With such a famous teacher, why would my son need to go to the county school?"
"God bless you! Mr. Liu bless you! And Xixi bless you!"
Gu Xixi laughed, "Why should I bless you? Is my sister-in-law so happy that she is confused?"
Mrs. Qin continued to bow to the sky a few times, then turned to Gu Xixi and said seriously, "I am not confused."
"Listen to this, isn't it? You brought Mr. Chen here, and Mr. Liu was brought here by Mr. Chen, and now Mr. Song was brought here by Mr. Liu."
"As the saying goes, one should never forget the well-digger when drinking water, so shouldn't we thank you for your blessing?"
Mrs. Zhou exclaimed, "This tongue twister almost made me dizzy! But..."
She grinned, "I think that makes sense too!"
At this time, Lao Qian had already unlocked the door and took Mr. Song and his wife into the yard for a tour.
Knowing that Mr. Song liked cleanliness and quietness, Old Qian turned his head and signaled that no one was allowed to come in and join in the fun.
"Today, everyone has met Mr. and Mrs. Song. We are all familiar with each other. Let's go home now. This will also allow the two of you to settle down as soon as possible."
Everyone was surprisingly cooperative and walked away in pairs of three or five.
After all, Mr. Song is a scholar, and we couldn't help but chat freely while standing at his door.
It's a good time to change places and have a good chat.
There are few outsiders moving into this village, and Mr. Song's identity and experience are so special.
For the villagers, it was a big piece of news, enough for everyone to talk about for days after dinner.
Only Gu Xixi was called by Lao Qian and followed him in.
Old Qian specifically introduced the girl to the Song couple, "This girl's surname is Gu. She is the number one farmer in our village. Everyone asks her for help if they don't understand something. People outside call her Boss Gu."
"All the exquisite details in this courtyard were arranged by her, and the name of Pinlanju was also given by her."
Gu Xixi said, "I am not good at writing, and I am not as well-read as you, sir. I can only give it a temporary name. After you and your wife move in, I will give it another name."
Mr. Song's eyes fell on the orchids planted on the ground. "Orchids represent pure air."
"The orchids are excellent, and the Pinlanju is also good, there is no need to change them."
Mrs. Song smiled and said, "The layout of the planting is also very elegant. You don't see orchids when you enter the house, but when you turn the corner, you will see orchids. When you enter the house, you can see orchids by opening the window."
"If I could paint by the window, the scenery of the four seasons, sunny, rainy and snowy, would be different. I think it would be an elegant thing."
Mr. Song looked at his wife, and a smile appeared on his serious face.
"As long as Madam likes it."
"After I retired, I never thought I could still live in this quiet place with my wife, admiring orchids and peaches and plums."
Mrs. Song wanted to go see the kitchen, so the two of them walked out of the main room hand in hand and headed to the side.
Gu Xixi walked behind and said with a smile, "It's done."
Old Qian was startled, and asked in a puzzled voice, "Why did my niece say it was successful? What did they mean by what they just said? Is it not enough to see orchids? Are we also going to see peach and plum blossoms?"
"But no one in our village grows peach trees. If you want to see peaches, you can only look at the wild peach trees on the back hill."
