It was during class the next day that Su Nan found out that Xie Mingyun was going to give a lecture in their inner school in the afternoon. Her eyes suddenly widened with excitement, she turned around, and her cousins ​​Xie Zhiwan and Xie Zhirou, who were sitting behind her, exclaimed and laughed:

"If I had known that he was going to come to our inner school, we wouldn't have had to go to the ancestral hall!"

"That's right. I've been kneeling for a long time and my legs are still hurting." Xie Zhirou excitedly poked the inkstone with a pen and smiled. "I must take a good look this time. I didn't see clearly at the ancestral hall at all. Yesterday was

I caught a glimpse, just a glimpse. The gentleman was so fierce that I didn’t dare to look at him more. This time I must take a good look and see enough!"

"Yesterday, my arms were bruised because Grandma pulled off someone else's cloak." Xie Zhiwan couldn't stop laughing when she mentioned that Su Nan pulled off Xie Mingyun's cloak.

"I've seen enough this time," Su Nan waved her hands happily, "Oh! Raise your hands quickly. If the gentleman wants to ask who wants to listen, raise your hands quickly!"

Xie Zhiwan and Xie Zhirou quickly raised their hands, and like Su Nan, half of their raised buttocks were no longer on the bench.

The room was full of arms raised high, and the husband laughed, "Okay, okay, the ninth master is going to talk to you about the Six Arts of the Gentleman. You should listen carefully and learn carefully. Since everyone wants to listen,

, just go and listen.”

In the afternoon, Su Nan hurriedly swallowed a few mouthfuls of food, then hurried out, ran over and called Xie Zhiwan and Xie Zhirou, who had not eaten a few mouthfuls of food just like her, and hurriedly went to school.

There must be a lot of people listening to Mr. Ninth's lecture. They have to hurry up early and grab a good seat so that they can have a good look at Mr. Ninth.

Many people had already arrived in Zhengshan Hall, including Chief Xie. Seeing Su Nan rushing in, the husband hurriedly waved his hand and drove the three of them down the steps, "You little girls, go over there where they are out of the way.

Sit down and listen, especially you. Master Ninth is giving a lecture. You are not allowed to talk, move or look around. Do you hear me?"

The husband pointed at Su Nan in particular. Su Nan looked at the corner that the husband pointed out to them and pouted. It was the farthest place from Zhengshan Hall. If it weren't for the shed, those who were far away would have fallen out of the yard.

Su Nan looked back at her husband and pouted even more, but she had no choice but to go over. The Ninth Young Master was not here to teach them. Besides, they were not gentlemen in the six arts of a gentleman.

"I can't seem to see it here. I wonder where the Ninth Young Master is sitting." Xie Zhiwan picked at the place pointed out to them by her husband. This place is so far away from Zhengshan Hall. There is not much difference between them. They must sit somewhere.

I can't even see inside the house, it's too far away.

"I must be sitting in the room. How can I sit next to you?"

, you will definitely get bored just listening to it for a while, and it will be easy to leave when the time comes to sit on the edge.

"Sit here." Su Nan looked around, picked a few seats in the last row, and waved to her two cousins, "When he comes in later, he will definitely have the clearest view here."

Xie Zhiwan and Xie Zhirou hurriedly sat down next to Su Nan. Among the three of them, Su Nan was the youngest, but Su Nan was the smartest.

Xie Mingyun was welcomed out by Chief Xie Shan and then accompanied in.

The entire courtyard of Zhengshan Hall was set up with a shed, and the shed was full of people. Gentlemen stood everywhere, staring closely at the students and not allowed to move or talk. The students in the shed could only express their excitement with their eyes, with countless scorching glances.

It fell on Xie Mingyun.

Xie Mingyun stepped into the shed, paused slightly, held her breath slightly, and scanned the shed first. There were too many people, and he couldn't see her.

"Everyone sit down! Don't look around! Ninth Young Master, please." Shanchang Xie felt that Xie Mingyun paused slightly, thinking that he was getting timid from the countless flaming eyes, so he hurriedly roared, leaned down and let Xie Mingyun go.

.

Xie Mingyun bowed and returned the gift and asked Mr. Xie to go first. He scanned again and still didn't see it. She was from a girl's house and she was probably sitting in the house.

Xie Mingyun entered the room. Compared to the outside, there were not many people in the room.

, several clan elders, some older and prestigious gentlemen, but she is not there.

Xie Mingyun came forward respectfully, greeted each one of them with courtesy, and then sat cross-legged on the high couch in the middle.

Xie Mingyun's mood dropped all the way, until it became a bit gloomy. The spring breeze that had just been brought in from outside the shed melted and dispersed unconsciously. When the lecture started, it was the usual feeling of being close in front of you and far away in the horizon.

.

Didn't she come? He didn't seem to see the girl just now. She didn't come...

The third old man was stroking his beard happily and looked at Xie Mingyun who was talking eloquently.

This child is so good, so polite and obedient. The boss actually said that he is a left-minded person. It seems that it is not the child who is left-minded, but the boss. Well, since the boss became the minister, his temper has become worse and worse.

Oh, pity Brother Nine.

After talking for a while, when it came to Yu Heshe, Xie Mingyun stood up and walked out slowly. He wanted to go out and take a closer look. He had to make sure she was here.

Everyone in the room followed his figure and looked out. When they saw him coming out, there was a sudden commotion outside the room. For a moment, under the stern eyes of the gentlemen and the suppression and threat of the ruler in their hands, it became quiet again, and

It was the same as when he first came in. He could only express his excitement and admiration with his eyes.

Ninth Young Master is so handsome!

As for what he said...that doesn't matter!

Xie Mingyun walked very slowly. As he walked, his eyes gently swept over the students on both sides, almost looking at them one by one, which made the students even more excited.

Mr. Jiu is so approachable!

The students in the shed divided nine pieces, as if they were writing a tic-tac-toe. Xie Mingyun walked along the east side of the tic-tac-toe, all the way to the end, and then walked to the other side of the tic-tac-toe. When he turned around, he saw at a glance the stretched neck.

Looking at his Su Nan.

Xie Mingyun paused, turned around, walked back two steps, scanned around slowly, then turned back to look at Su Nan, who was looking at him with eyes wide open in excitement and wonder.

Su Nan met Xie Mingyun's eyes, her smile bloomed, and she wanted to raise her hand to wave. Just as she was about to raise her hand, the gentleman next to her coughed hard. Su Nan hurriedly sat up straight, but her eyes were still looking at Xie Mingyun.

This was the most beautiful person she had ever seen, regardless of male or female! It was so difficult to see such a beautiful person once, and she really couldn't bear to look away.

Xie Zhiwan and Xie Zhirou, who were standing next to Su Nan, also looked straight at her. They took a deep breath and forgot about the ruler.

"Ah..." Just when Xie Zhirou had barely said the word "A", Su Nan's hands were as fast as lightning, one left and one right, and she quickly covered the mouths of Xie Zhiwan and Xie Zhirou.

Xie Mingyun couldn't help but laugh, and quickly looked away. For a moment, she couldn't help but look back. Seeing his laughter, Su Nan met his gaze again, and stuck out the tip of her tongue at him.

Xie Mingyun tilted her head slightly to hold back her laughter, opened the folding fan and closed it again, hiding her slight loss of composure. She turned around and continued to teach her first lesson while pacing.

Xie Mingyun's first lecture was not long and ended quickly.

The gentlemen in the shed drove their students back to continue studying, and the students in the Zhengshan Hall also bowed out, leaving only Xie Shanchang, the third old master, several clan elders, old gentlemen, and Xie Mingyun sitting and talking.

"The Six Arts of a Gentleman, written by Jiu Gongzi, explains the profound and simple things in a simple way, which is very beneficial." Xie Shanchang first said politely.

"Grandmaster, thank you." Xie Mingyun leaned forward slightly, looked at the three old masters and said with a smile, "I also ask for your forgiveness, sir, and all the elders. This is my first time giving lectures. To be honest with you, yesterday I taught the sergeant

I was so frightened that I couldn't sleep well at night. I really don't know what to say and I feel really ashamed."

"You are so polite, Mr. Ninth, what you said is very good." An old gentleman stroked his beard and looked at Xie Mingyun with a smile in his eyes.

Most of the rumors are untrue, and it is true. Here is an example. This Ninth Young Master is so humble, courteous, and good. There is no way he has any arrogance or lofty ideals. Such rumors are all jealousy.

Jealous of the Xie family, jealous of their Pingjiang Mansion!

"After teaching this lesson, I have learned something." Xie Mingyun leaned slightly, showing extremely humility and courtesy, "I'm afraid it won't be of much benefit to talk about it in such a general way. I heard that there are about twenty students in our school this year.

If the instructor doesn't mind the next exam, why don't I read the article for them..."

"What you ask for is what you ask for!" Xie Shanchang excitedly interrupted Xie Mingyun's words and looked at the third old man with beaming eyes.

Xie Mingyun, a talented scholar who is famous all over the world, is not famous because of his poems and songs. I heard that he does not like those. His talent is famous because of his strategies, his knowledge, and his insights. It is said that the prince often sends people to inquire about political affairs.

his opinion.

Regarding his level of craftsmanship, the eldest man in the capital once said rudely that if his Ninth Brother was ranked second, probably no one would dare to be ranked first. Now, Ninth Young Master said that he would give guidance to the students of the Xie family.

Crafting articles!

The third old man burst into laughter, and while laughing, he and several old gentlemen said with proud expressions: "Listen to what this kid said, whether you don't dislike him or not, it depends on you, they are all brothers."

Then he looked at Shanchang Xie, "Brother Ninth's humility is the most worthy of learning from our Xie family children. Compared with our Ninth Brother's character, his knowledge is second best."

"No!" Everyone cheered and made up their minds. With this benefit, their own children must be one step ahead no matter what. They can't take the lead, at least they can't lose it.

"My grandson wouldn't dare to take such a compliment from Mr. San Weng." Xie Mingyun smiled and bowed, "Our Xie family's old house has many family rules that are highly praised in the capital. Even the prince has praised it several times. For example, our women are the same as men.

He studied, even until he got married, and learned the same as men, and the Xie family married women who valued talents and knowledge, and the more knowledgeable they were, the more respected they were. These were all highly praised by every family in the capital.

The prince once said that it is extremely rare for our Xie family to have this kind of knowledge, and he said that he thought it was just one of the reasons why the Xie family has so many talented people. As the saying goes, a good daughter-in-law will lead to good descendants for three generations."

Xie Mingyun was talking and laughing, and was extremely easy-going. Qingye's eyes widened when he saw it. Could it be that his ninth master was possessed by something? The ninth master in front of him was so easy-going... This was so scary!

"That's it!"

"Well said! Every sentence is full of insights!"

"They all say that the prince has extraordinary knowledge, and it is indeed true!"

…

Several clan elders and gentlemen were full of praise. The third old man laughed and said, "Look, the prince is the prince. He hit the nail on the head. Our Xie family is not like this. If nothing else, let's talk about Brother Jiu.

Mom, why did you choose a girl from the Jiangningming family? It’s not because the Jiangningming family is like our family. Girls study with boys since they were young. This is the most rare thing. "

"No! She is truly a good daughter-in-law and a good descendant for three generations! Ninth Brother's wife is also famous for her knowledge!" Another clan elder quickly added.

"There don't seem to be many girls in the inner school." Xie Mingyun looked at Mr. Xie Shan with a sweet smile.

"It's not much. Let's go to school in Xie's family. Even if you go to school, it's not easy to learn. If girls don't follow the path of learning, they will be distracted a lot. Most of them drop out of school and go home to study at the age of thirteen or fourteen.

Housework, preparation of dowry, that's all, girls can go to school from childhood until they are thirteen or fourteen years old, and the whole Pingjiang Mansion and Jiangnan, besides the Ming family, are the only ones like our Xie family."

Because of Xie Mingyun’s few words just now, Xie Shan explained a lot in his long speech, lest Xie Mingyun misunderstood something.

"The most girls who can enter the inner school, that is, they study until they are fifteen or sixteen years old, and then go home. We in Pingjiang Prefecture all marry generously, and we discuss marriage early. After we have agreed on the marriage, we have to prepare a dowry.

I no longer have the heart to study. Besides, if a boy wants to study on the right path, if a girl really wants to study on the right path, that is not the right path. Men and women are different, and this is the way of heaven. Because of this, the girls in our inner school
