Xuanyuan Yan bought a small two-story house in the county town. He got used to the quiet environment of the Wangyou Inn and could not stand the complexity of the inn in the county town.

On the fifth day, someone finally arrived.

Watching the two people weakly enter the yard, Xuanyuan Yan couldn't help but frowned.

Did these people crawl here? What a mistake!

The people who came were an old maidservant beside his mother and the eunuchs who usually served by her side. They were all his confidants, which was enough to show how much importance his mother attached to this matter.

After the two of them saluted, the nanny spoke anxiously:

"Your Highness, the Queen is waiting anxiously in the palace, why are you still not returning to the capital?"

Xuanyuan Yan took a sip of tea, not even bothering to lift his eyelids, and said lightly:

"Are you questioning me?"

The nanny couldn't help but tremble, but when she thought of the instructions given by the empress before she left, she forced herself to straighten her back and replied:

"I dare not, but I ask Your Highness on behalf of the Queen. The Queen said that you are of noble status and have a heavy responsibility, so you must not act recklessly. The Queen is sincere and I hope Your Highness will understand."

The eunuch saw Xuanyuan Yan's face becoming increasingly ugly, and hurriedly said respectfully:

"Don't blame me, Your Highness. Madam Rong may have been too tired from traveling all the way, so she spoke in a hurry. The Queen is very concerned about Your Highness's health, so she asked me to prepare a whole cart of precious medicinal herbs for Your Highness.

There is also an imperial physician accompanying you. He is in the hospital right now. Can you let him examine you? If there is nothing serious, it will put your heart at ease."

Did he send the imperial physician because he suspected that he was lying? His uncle's medical skills were unmatched in the entire Da'an Kingdom, so why did he need to do this?

Xuanyuan Yan had long been accustomed to his mother's style of controlling the overall situation, but for some reason, he felt a strong sense of disgust this time.

So he frowned and said impatiently:

"My uncle is the best doctor in Da'an, don't you believe in his medical skills?

He has long said that my injury has affected my lungs and that I need to recuperate for at least three months to avoid leaving any root causes. You can ask the imperial physician to return to the capital immediately and tell mother what he said, so that she doesn't need to worry. "

Seeing Xuanyuan Yan's arrogant attitude, the eunuch could only quietly step aside. He felt bitter in his heart, the Imperial Concubine's order could not be disobeyed, but the status of the Third Prince was supposed to be more noble than that of the Imperial Concubine.

He is just a lowly servant and can't afford to offend anyone!

I can't let the imperial physician return to the capital with nothing, and I no longer have the courage to insist on letting the third prince diagnose my pulse. Alas, since ancient times, when gods fight, the little ghosts are the ones who suffer!

He looked at Nanny Rong for help, hoping that His Highness would show her some face because of their past relationship.

Nanny Rong took a deep breath and said:

"If that's the case, Your Highness should return to the capital as soon as possible. This place is a remote place, and the Nanrong Divine Doctor has already left. There is no point in you staying here any longer, and it will only bring you more dangers.

You are of an extremely noble status, and you only have a few guards with you. The Queen is really worried!"

"I'm afraid that Madam Rong has become confused due to old age. If you want to recuperate, why travel so much? You don't have to waste your breath. Since my mother sent you here, then settle down here. Come back to the capital with me in a month."

This, this is putting them under house arrest? They clearly came to persuade His Highness to return to the capital!!!

The two looked at each other, and just as they were about to say something, they saw Xuanyuan Yan flash past them like a shadow. How could he look like he was injured? !

The guards initially did not quite understand their master's actions. It turned out that the main reason they bought this courtyard was to keep an eye on this group of people.

However, given the Imperial Concubine's temperament, she will send someone again within seven days. How should the master respond then?

He slapped his head hard, what was he thinking? How could a servant like him worry about this? He immediately put his thoughts aside and quickly followed Xuanyuan Yan.

After such a long delay, I don't know how his stupid student has learned. If she dares to forget everything he taught her, I'll see how he will deal with that stupid girl!

Xuanyuan Yan couldn't help but mutter to himself while riding his horse. The corners of his mouth rose slightly unconsciously, and it was obvious that his mood had changed from gloomy to sunny.

Shangguan Qingyue, who was busy arranging various matters for the village school, suddenly sneezed loudly. She couldn't help rubbing her nose and said curiously:

"It's not cold, why did you sneeze suddenly? I hope no one is saying bad things about me behind my back, humph, rebound!"

Xuanyuan Yan, who was riding on horseback and galloping all the way, suddenly sneezed three times in a row for no apparent reason, and the horse under him raised its front hooves in fright...

……

If the village school charges tuition, Shangguan Qingyue feels that few girls in the village would be able to come, and even 30% of the boys would be discouraged.

Especially now that there are more and more profitable businesses in the village, the income from the medicinal fields alone is very considerable. Many families would rather let their children become farmers, after all, the immediate benefits are real.

Although everyone knows the benefits of studying, few people believe that it is possible to pass the imperial examination to become a scholar in this remote and poor place, let alone become a juren.

After discussing with Li Shoucai again and again, they finally decided to mobilize the whole village to reclaim another 30 acres of wasteland to be used as school fields.

All the income from the fields belongs to the village school, while the daily planting and management work is done by the whole village in turn.

In addition, 10% of all the pear trees in the village were given to the village school. Since the pears became a good thing for medicine, the children in the village no longer dared to climb the trees or break branches at will.

Villagers would also save some of their own fermented manure and bury it under their own trees, hoping that they would produce more fruits in the autumn.

At first, some people were reluctant, but they were scolded by Li Shoucai and then they became obedient. They also pointed out that the head of the village had made the whole village rich, so even if they had complaints in their hearts, they could only swallow them.

In order to save money, the tables and chairs in the school were all made of bamboo. They were cool to sit on in hot weather, and in winter, they were simple, just asking the workshop to crochet some cushions.

Even the brushes were made by Old Man Liu's wife. Zhang's skills in making bamboo products are becoming more and more sophisticated. There is nothing she can't make if it's related to bamboo.

The tables and chairs in the school were made by her and Old Man Liu together.

She and Old Man Liu, their elderly partner, live in great harmony. Although their lives are not as lively and sweet as those of young people, the sense of security and comfort they feel is something that others cannot envy.

What makes Shangguan Qingyue most gratified is that more than 50% of the girls in the village have signed up. She believes that more and more people will come in the near future.

The village school was divided into two parts, with a ten-foot-high wall built in the middle to completely separate male and female students.

The female teacher Shangguan Song has found will come to the village today. I heard that she is a talented woman who is well-read in poetry and literature. She insisted on remaining a widow for the rest of her life just because her fiancé died of illness.

To be honest, Shangguan Qingyue's heart was beating fast when she heard about this person's experience. This person should not be easy to get along with. However, this is just her own subjective assumption and prejudice. She will have to get along with him for a while to be sure.

Standing in the classroom, Shangguan Qingyue bit her finger and pondered. Everything was ready, but why did she always feel like something was missing? She always felt like it was something very important, but she couldn't remember it for the moment.

"Ruoxi, the female teacher is here, she's outside!"
