Since this was a relatively private banquet, the host Zhao Yuanqi emphasized not to write poetry from the beginning, and less than half of the young people at the banquet were strong-blooded, so the banquet atmosphere was relatively harmonious and quiet. Although there are debates, they are basically on the facts.

Moreover, the discussion basically focused on some people's livelihood issues and some important events that have happened in Beijing recently.

Of course, it is not only a banquet, but also dancing, singing, playing the piano and blowing the flute, etc.

As far as dance is concerned, Chongwangfu has one of the best dancing girls in the entire Jinling City.

Liu Rushi also left his seat and walked to the center of the banquet to perform two songs on the spot, one is the latest lyrics "Drunken Flower Yin, Mist and Thick Clouds Sorrow Eternal Day", and the other is "The Book of Poetry: Guan Ju".

Except for the two songs, Liu Ru basically sat quietly in the last seat.

Except that no one at the banquet revolved around her anymore, she basically couldn't interject. The depth and breadth of the content discussed at the banquet far exceeded the boastful talk that she usually held at the banquet in Tianxiang Building, and everyone showed themselves in order to please her.

However, she found that Ji Ning's random throwing out one or two points of view often led everyone to discuss and even argue in depth.

In addition, she also found that the high-ranking Lord Huaizhu likes to make things difficult for Ji Ning from time to time. However, that kind of difficulty is not the kind of malicious difficulty, and Ji Ning can always easily resolve it.

She was keenly aware that Ji Ning had a close relationship with the county lord of Huaizhu.

The next moment, she couldn't help but think about herself, if Ji Ning had thoughts about Lord Huaizhu, so he alienated her. She was thinking wildly, and her heart was secretly sad and self-pitying.

Halfway through the banquet, Liu Ru saw Ji Ning get up to relieve his hands, and couldn't help but hesitate.

She waited hesitantly for half a cup of tea, and then she bit her delicate pink lower lip like a rhino tooth, then stood up and walked towards the latrine.

Halfway through, he unsurprisingly met Ji Ning, who had returned after relieving himself.

"Miss Liu." Ji Ning stopped and shouted in greeting.

"Ji Gongzi." Liu Ru paused his steps and squatted slightly in response.

Ji Ning was about to talk to Liu Ru is for a few words, but Liu Ru was already moving forward, so he had no choice but to give up, swallow back the words that came to his mouth, and saw Liu Ru is slender back gradually moving away.

After Liu Ru crossed Ji Ning, the roots behind his ears were tense, waiting for Ji Ning's cry.

However, she walked step by step, getting farther and farther, but she never heard Ji Ning's call.

She couldn't help but raise her head slightly, took a long breath, and the cold line down each cheek was cold, but tears overflowed unconsciously.

……

……

On the second day of October, the Winter Clothes Festival has just passed.

Early in the morning, Ji Ning got up half an hour earlier than before, and first concentrated on playing Tai Chi three times in the courtyard, and then put on the plate buckle ring, took a hard bow, and practiced by pulling the bow.

After exercising, changing into scholarly Confucian clothes, and having breakfast, Ji Ning set off for Sanwei Academy half an hour earlier than usual.

The car was on the wheel, and Ji Ning sat in the carriage with his eyes closed.

Yu Ling, who was sitting in the carriage together, saw that Ji Ning was like this, although he wanted to talk to Ji Ning a little, but he guessed that there was something important in Sanwei Academy today, and his young master was probably not in the mood to chat, so he held back.

"Sir, madam, you must bless the academy with a smooth enrollment this time." Yu Ling prayed secretly in his heart.

Yesterday's Winter Clothes Festival, she had already prayed once at the grave of Ji Ling and his wife.

Finally, the carriage stopped, and a reminder from He An came from outside the curtain of the carriage: "Young Master, the academy has arrived." ”

Yu Ling lifted the curtain and got out, standing sideways, keeping the curtain lifted.

Ji Ning then got out and got out of the carriage.

"Ji Gongzi." As soon as he got out of the carriage, a gentle and pleasant voice came out.

It was Mi Zhirong, who came to the academy one step ahead of Ji Ning, who greeted him and greeted him.

Ji Ning smiled and returned the salute: "Miss Zhirong, it's early." ”

At the same time, he subconsciously glanced at Mi Zhirong, Mi Zhirong was still wearing a moon-white female gentleman's clothes, and the tailor-made female gentleman's clothes highlighted Mi Zhirong's graceful girl's body as tall and slender. Her beautiful face has more light makeup than usual, which is even more beautiful and moving. In addition, she has been a gentleman in Sanwei Academy for a month and a half, and in addition to her original noble and elegant temperament, she also has two more affinity temperaments that ordinary women do not have.

In short, in a word, Mi Zhirong is more beautiful and moving than before.

Mi Zhirong said: "Aren't you too? ”

Ji Ning smiled slightly, and glanced up at the name plaque of the academy hanging high.

The plaque is still the same as the original, but the door is not the same one anymore.

It turned out that three days ago, the expansion of Sanwei Academy was finally completed, and the scale was ten times larger than the original, enough to accommodate 1,000 students.

The gate of Sanwei Academy was also demolished and rebuilt, changing the previous small family atmosphere and becoming magnificent, as if it was a big academy.

Retracting his gaze, Ji Ning looked at Mi Zhirong again and asked, "Are you nervous?" ”

"Well, it's nerve-wracking. I am worried that the concubine is not famous enough, and she is a daughter, so she can't recruit students. Mi Zhirong said.

Ji Ning comforted Mi Zhirong with a smile and said, "It's not necessary at all. Before today, I had already sent people to do enough publicity in the entire Jinling City. As a former taster of the Poetry Pavilion, you will definitely attract many students to come to study. ”

It turned out that Mi Zhirong had already written the doctrine, and after the expansion of the academy was completed, it was finally time to recruit new students to teach the scriptures.

Ji Ning attaches great importance to this enrollment, because it is related to the improvement of the level of Sanwei Academy, which is no longer limited to teaching people literacy and writing and other basic teaching.

Sanwei Academy ushered in a special enrollment, and Mi Zhirong finally began to lecture on the scriptures.

The enrollment method is similar to before, free classes for half a month, and then students go to stay and decide themselves, never reluctantly.

"Hmm." Mi Zhi replied.

At this time, Yu Ling opened the gate of the academy, Ji Ning made a gesture of invitation to Mi Zhirong, and then the two walked towards the academy together.

The two walked side by side, and Ji Ning said: "For the sake of long-term planning, you must strictly check the foundation of the students who sign up for this enrollment. ”

At the beginning of the establishment of Sanwei Academy, he was restricted by various conditions, and he only taught people to read and write, so he could teach no kind of strategy.

Now his reputation is no longer notorious, but has gained the reputation of a talented man, and the hardware facilities of the academy have also improved by more than two or three grades.

Learning the Four Books and the Five Classics means participating in the imperial examinations in the future. Not everyone can make the list in the imperial examination, and they must have a certain talent for reading. If Sanwei Academy wants to be famous and develop, it must be able to teach talents, and even raise people and scholars!

Therefore, when students are choosing Sanwei Academy, Sanwei Academy is also strictly selecting qualified students.

Of course, in the teaching of literacy and writing at the most basic level, Sanwei Academy still maintained the original policy, and even took the initiative to reduce the number of shackles. Popularizing the literacy and writing of the poor is the basic plate of Sanwei Academy, and it must not be lost.

"The concubine understands." Mi Zhirong replied solemnly, "Even if you can't recruit a student, you will never give in to the concubine!" ”

Ji Ning did not hesitate to spend a huge amount of money to build such a large academy, no matter how stupid she was, she could see that Ji Ning's plans were not small.
