Only this green, not disappointing the spring

After school, Shangguan Qingyue took Xiao Shitou and rushed to Xuanyuan Yan without stopping.

"You've come just in time. We've got all the materials for making the blackboard. Let's go to the classroom now."

……

So she just came from school and now she has to go back again?!

She nodded weakly, and had to turn around and walk back, dragging her tired legs.

Xuanyuan Yan thought for a moment and said:

"You don't have to go to school anymore. I will teach you how to read and write. You are not young anymore. It is a waste of time to go to school with the girls in the village."

She is only thirteen years old, is she already old? ! ! Is it necessary to be so heartbroken?

Shangguan Qingyue listened expressionlessly and refused directly:

"Don't bother me, sir. After all, you can't stay in the village for long. For now, my mother will take over the girls' class. I will select a female teacher myself."

Before she finished speaking, she felt the temperature around her drop inexplicably. She shook her body unconsciously and said:

"Sir, let's go to the school first. How long does it take before the blackboard can be used after it is completed?"

"At least three days, at most seven days."

He was the Third Prince, a man who was above all others, but he was rejected by a yellow-haired girl! He was very upset, but he didn't know how to vent.

The guards and hired craftsmen were all silent, fearing that they might accidentally do something wrong and anger their master, which would have disastrous consequences.

As soon as everyone entered the school yard, they began to work in a neat and tidy manner. Someone put two long wooden boards together, looked at Shangguan Qingyue and asked:

"Miss Shangguan, is it okay to make this blackboard this big?"

It turns out that you first use a wooden board as a base and then apply something on it.

Shangguan Qingyue replied: "Uncle, please pick it up and put it on the wall of the classroom. I will check from the back to see if it is suitable."

The old craftsman was very uncomfortable because he was treated so kindly by a nobleman for the first time. He quickly picked up the wooden board and took one more piece because he was worried that it would not be enough.

"Hey, hey, young lady, you are really considerate. I will be right here.

Ergou, come over here with me, let's put the board on the wall for you to see."

In the end, based on the size of the classroom, Shangguan Qingyue chose three boards for the boys' class and two for the girls' class.

At her request, the craftsmen surrounded the board with a circle of wooden strips, and then skillfully nailed wedge-shaped wooden blocks through the wooden boards into the wall to secure them.

In this way, the prototype of the blackboard was ready. Then someone brought a bucket of black viscous liquid mixed with tung oil, black smoke fat and kerosene, and brushed it layer by layer on the wooden board with a bristle brush.

He stopped only when it was two inches thick.

During this period, I had to stop after each coat and wait until it was 70% to 80% dry before applying the second coat. It was not until dark that I finally finished.

As for the white lime used for writing, at Shangguan Qingyue's suggestion, it was all ground into thin strips as thick as fingers, and then wrapped in oil paper. After using up a piece of lime, just tear off a piece of oil paper.

While waiting, Xuanyuan Yan was not idle. He sent someone to fetch the zither and gave lessons on the spot.

It must be said that the saying that strict teachers produce excellent students is still very reasonable to some extent. Under Xuanyuan Yan's continuous encouragement, Shangguan Qingyue's piano skills have improved significantly.

Now, she can play "Three Variations on Plum Blossom" easily. As for Xiao Shitou, let's not talk about him. In front of the genius, she can only feel ashamed.

Liu came here because of the sound of the piano. Of course, she was not Shangguan Qingyue, the half-baked one, but she came here when Xuanyuan Yan was demonstrating a new piece of music.

In fact, she regretted it as soon as she ran out of the school in the morning. She became a widow because her fiancé passed away, and after returning to her parents' home for a long time, she experienced the feeling of living under someone else's roof.

Her parents are getting older and can still protect her now, but when they pass away in the future, she doesn’t know what will be waiting for her.

Although she could continue to work as a mistress for the unmarried ladies in the wealthy families of the county, there were endless disputes and dirty things happening in the wealthy families, and as a widow, she would easily cause trouble wherever she went.

Coming to Xiangxue Village to be a female teacher was not something she did for the sake of the county magistrate's face; the magistrate only mentioned it, and she came here on her own accord.

Although it was in the countryside, she had been to the sightseeing party held by Xiangxue Village and was attracted by the beautiful scenery and simple folk customs of the village. Unfortunately, she only stayed there for three days before she had to leave with her brother and his wife.

No matter how much you like it, you can only keep it in your heart.

Coming here to work as a lady, she was not only respected but also had a free courtyard to live in. She couldn't tell how happy she was.

However, because of my own arrogance, I ruined it all!

She originally just wanted to give Miss Shangguan a warning, using the strategy of "killing the chicken to scare the monkeys". She thought that in this way, no one would dare to look down on her.

Who would have thought that the mission would start off badly and directly hit Baili Nanqing's iron wall, putting her in a dilemma.

At noon, Baili Nanqing sent someone to look for her, saying that he would drive her back to the county town. In a hurry, she had to lie that she was not feeling well and wanted to rest for a day before leaving tomorrow.

The servant was polite and left without saying anything, leaving her alone in the empty yard, pacing back and forth anxiously.

Until I heard the sound of piano coming from the school.

At first the person playing the piano was obviously awkward and clumsy, but later when someone else changed, he became a master. The sound of the piano was deep and melodious, sometimes like a trickle, and sometimes sonorous and powerful, like the sound of nature.

Her legs uncontrollably followed the sound of the piano, and before she knew it she had arrived at the school.

It was early summer, and the courtyard was picturesque. A man who looked like an immortal was sitting under a weeping willow, plucking the strings of a musical instrument with great concentration. His clothes fluttered, and he seemed to be surrounded by an immortal aura.

The willow branches swayed in the wind, ruffling the man's hair from time to time, as if a beautiful woman was dancing around her lover.

The scene was so beautiful that she was almost dazed by it.

Shangguan Qingyue, who was holding his chin with one hand and listening intently, turned around inadvertently and saw Liu standing not far away.

When the song ended, she asked:

"I wonder why Miss Liu is here? Someone will pick you up and take you back to the county town tomorrow morning. Just be patient for one more night."

Xuanyuan Yan's good mood was swept away when he saw the person coming. He said coldly:

"We are currently in class with our teacher and student. Please do not disturb us. Please leave."

Liu's face flushed, tears began to well up in her eyes. She bit her lower lip with her pearly teeth, and finally mustered up the courage to say:

"Ms. Shangguan, I, I still want to continue teaching in the school. Can you give me another chance?"

At this time, she was not only flushed, but her whole body was about to smoke. From childhood to adulthood, she had always been the center of attention because of her outstanding talent and good looks.

This is the first time I've asked someone for help in such a humble manner.

Shangguan Qingyue never expected that the man who always looked down on others would have to bow his head one day.

It is a great honor to know one's mistakes and then improve them. She still admired Liu's flexibility. Besides, the person her elder brother helped to find must have his or her outstanding qualities.

So she stood up and asked seriously:

"Why did Miss Liu change her mind? Besides, we have a big disagreement on teaching. Even if nothing happened today, I would ask you to leave."

Liu said hurriedly:

"If we have any disagreements, we can discuss them in a good way. I... I was wrong before, and I will humbly correct it in the future!"

Liu's behavior before and after was completely different, which made Shangguan Qingyue very puzzled.

Seeing this, Liu smiled bitterly and said:

"To be honest, I became a widow at a young age. At first, I felt that this was the right thing to do. As a woman, I should remain faithful to my deceased husband.

But in the end, she ended up in a situation where her husband's family wouldn't accept her and her parents' family didn't like her!

From childhood to adulthood, I have always abided by the rules, respected my elders, and loved my brothers and sisters, and never did anything beyond the rules. But why did I end up with no place to stay?

Coming to Xiangxue Village is my last resort. I... have reached the end of my rope!"
