The Legend of the Farm Girl

Chapter 42: Zhushan

Fortunately, Yunfang spent the night in the system, otherwise she might have difficulty falling asleep all night.

When Yunfang woke up in the morning, she felt refreshed after studying in the system all night. Because Lu Liding said that he went to the mountain today to find inspiration for writing poetry, Yunfang deliberately changed her reading course to writing poetry.

After only one hour of study, the system said that Yunfang had made no progress and told Yunfang that she had no talent for writing poetry.

If necessary, the system can provide her with poems from another world for her to recite.

Yunfang had no other choice but to use the last bit of time to recite a few poems about viewing the mountains and scenery.

These poems shocked Yunfang. How could such good poems be written? What a talented group of people they must be!

Yunfang also suddenly thought that she could not easily use the poems in the system, which was inconsistent with her own talent. In an instant, Yunfang thought that there must be a perfect policy essay in the system. If she could write it down and let Yunfeng and Lu Liding take a look, Yunfang immediately put away this idea. They still had to rely on their own abilities, otherwise even if they finally passed the imperial examination, they would still be doubted.

However, Yunfang had a new feeling that her learning in the system was too narrow. The knowledge in the system was all-encompassing, and she should explore it slowly. But this could not be blamed on Yunfang. Her vision was limited, and she still needed to grow slowly.

After the Yun family had breakfast, Yunfang's mother took Yunying to the clothing store. Yunfang asked curiously, "Yunfeng, why aren't you with mother and the others?"

Yunfeng remembered what his mother said yesterday, so he could only hide it from Yunfang and answered, "Sister, mother asked me to review my lessons at home because the academy is going to have an exam soon."

Yunfang thought about it and realized that the exam was indeed coming up soon. She looked at the time and said, "I'm going to work first. Don't run around at home."

After saying that, Yunfang left the house.

At this time, there was a carriage waiting outside Yunfang's house, and the coachman was waiting outside the carriage.

After Yunfang left, the coachman asked, "Miss Yun, right? Please get in the carriage. Master Lu asked me to pick you up."

When Yunfang heard the coachman say this, she immediately got on the carriage and opened the door. She saw Lu Liding sitting on the thick cushions in a white and luxurious brocade robe. His long eyelashes drooped, covering his phoenix eyes. His long hair was as black as ink, and a few strands fell to his forehead, covering half of his face. The carriage was blocked by heavy curtains, so there was no light, but it was still clear that his face was faintly white and clear.

When he saw Yunfang, he smiled broadly.

Yunfang discovered that Lu Liding really liked to smile at her, and his smile would make her heart flutter every time. Yunfang once again confirmed that Lu Liding was extremely elegant and handsome.

At the same time, she had some doubts in her mind. Why would a man like Lu Liding be so fond of her?

Lu Liding did not give Yunfang time to think about it, and said to Yunfang: "Come and have a look, I bought some snacks, you can eat them on the way and see if you like them. If not, we can buy some more."

As he spoke, Lu Liding took out a food box from under his seat. Yunfang looked inside and saw that it was filled with snacks such as sugar-roasted chestnuts and date cakes. It smelled delicious. Yunfang had to admit that Lu Liding was really attentive.

Yunfang said: "Mr. Lu prepared everything I like, thank you for your hard work."

Lu Liding shook his head and said, "Why are you still calling me Young Master? Considering how hard I've tried, it's not too much to call me Brother Liding!"

Yunfang's face immediately turned red, and she said in a low voice, "Brother Liding!"

Lu Liding looked at Yunfang with a smile, which made Yunfang's face turn even redder. She had no choice but to lower her face and stop looking at Lu Liding.

Lu Liding said, "Fang'er, come sit on this chair. The seat in the front is bumpier."

Yun Fang followed his instructions and sat on the chair next to Lu Liding. The two had never been so close before, and it seemed as if they could hear each other's breathing.

Yunfang became even more shy and buried her face in her legs.

As if to make Yunfang less shy, Lu Liding brought up another topic and asked Yunfang: "You said you read some books. You were bored on the road, so let me test you."

Speaking of this, Yun Fang is not worried. After all, he is a student who has received the best systematic tutoring and is no worse than ordinary people.

Lu Liding didn't know Yunfang's level. In his opinion, Yunfang's level was just like that of a child who had just started learning.

So at the beginning Lu Liding only asked a few simple questions.

But when he saw Yunfang solve the problem effortlessly, Ruoli realized that he had underestimated the girl in front of him.

The difficulty of the questions was increased little by little, from the Three Hundred Thousand to the Four Books and Five Classics to the words of famous scholars, and no question stumped Yunfang.

Lu Liding truly admitted that Yunfang was extraordinary.

She asked Yunfang in surprise: "How did you do it? You are so good at embroidery, and you can even read to such a high level. Either way must have taken up a lot of your time and energy!"

Yunfang showed a proud expression on her face, but she also knew that the system was her biggest secret and she could not tell anyone except her mother.

She looked up and told Lu Liding: "This is all because I met a magical teacher when I was young. She was simply perfect. There was nothing she didn't know about astronomy and geography. That's why I am who I am today."

The more Lu Liding listened, the more curious he became. He asked, "Where is your master now?"

Yunfang pretended to be a little disappointed and said: "She has passed away, but I still remember the study method she taught me, so I can study so efficiently."

Lu Li looked at Yun Fang intently. With his intelligence, he could tell at a glance that Yun Fang was lying, but he had no idea why Yun Fang lied to him.

He had investigated Yunfang's background and found it clear and transparent: she was just an ordinary farm girl who somehow learned how to embroider. Later, she sent her younger brother to school, and her younger brother came back to teach her how to read and write.

During the investigation, it was never mentioned that she had such a powerful master. I guess it was because it was so long ago that the investigators didn't notice it!

However, Lu Liding was indeed curious about this master. Yunfang was the best among women of her age in both embroidery and knowledge, and all of this came from the master she mentioned. How could Lu Liding not be curious?

Lu Liding asked tentatively: "So, your master must have a very high level of attainment in reading. Did he leave any works? I would like to read them."

When Yunfang heard him ask this, in order to cover up the lie she had just told, she nodded helplessly and said, "I have memorized a few poems that my master had written. I'll write them down for you later!"

Lu Liding nodded and said, "No need to wait until we get home. You don't know me. If I have the opportunity to see some masterpieces, I will remember them by heart. Let's stop here. I'll ask the driver to stop for a while."

After saying that, he asked the driver to stop.

At this time, the carriage had already driven out of the city gate and was on the official road. The coachman heard Lu Liding's call and immediately stopped the carriage on the side of the road.

When the car stopped, Lu Liding took out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone from under the seat, put the paper on the chair he was sitting on, sat directly in the car, and started to grind ink for Yunfang.

Yunfang was stunned by Lu Liding's actions. She didn't expect Lu Liding to be so anxious.

Yunfang had no choice but to bite the bullet, took the pen that Lu Liding handed over, and leaned over to start writing on the paper.

Yunfang hurriedly memorized a few poems in the system last night, but now she feels they are all blurry. The only thing she can remember is a mountain climbing poem by a poet from another world that the system once mentioned.

After much thought, Yunfang decided to write down this poem. Fortunately, there is Mount Tai in every world, and it is also on the land of Qi and Lu.

After making up her mind, Yunfang wrote a poem "Viewing the Mountain" on paper. Yunfang wrote a sentence and Lu Liding followed her to read it until he read to the end, "I will climb to the top of the mountain and look down on all the other mountains."

Lu Liding completely lost his composure, holding the piece of paper written by Yunfang, and kept repeating, "I will climb to the top of the mountain and look down on all the other mountains." I will climb to the top of the mountain and look down on all the other mountains.

Seeing that he was a little crazy, Yun Fang did not feel disgusted at all. She even felt that Lu Liding was really sincere about studying.

I think I was equally shocked when I saw these poems.

By the time Lu Liding came to his senses from the poem, a quarter of an hour had passed and he had already memorized the poem.

He smiled apologetically at Yunfang and said, "Your master is truly a great writer. Just from this one poem, you can see the gap between him and me. It's a pity that he has passed away, otherwise I would definitely come to visit him."

Yunfang said: "Master is really amazing. Now I can only remember her calligraphy works to miss her."

Lu Liding couldn't help but ask, "Did he leave any other calligraphy works?"

Yunfang said, "I memorized quite a few when I was little. How about I sort them out when I get home and show them to you?"

Lu Liding was not in a hurry this time and said with a smile: "Okay."

He urged the driver again to move forward. What they didn't notice was that a group of young people had overtaken them and were probably at the foot of Mount Zhu.

The carriage started up again, and Lu Liding picked up the paper Yunfang had written. Yunfang thought he was going to read it again, but he said, "Your handwriting is also very good, and you can tell that you have practiced for several years. But some of your words are too soft and lack some brushstrokes. They don't match the mood of the poem."

Lu Liding actually started to give Yunfang guidance. Fortunately, Yunfang benefited a lot from it. Lu Liding was very knowledgeable and could talk about everything very well.

In this way, the two men arrived at the foot of Mount Zhu. There was only a winding path leading to the mountain, and the carriage could not go up the mountain, so the two men got off and walked up.

The coachman tied the horses at the foot of the mountain, and Yunfang saw that there was more than one carriage at the foot of the mountain.

Lu Liding and Yunfang walked slowly up the mountain. On that summer morning, the trees were lush and green, flowers were blooming everywhere, and the fruits were abundant and fragrant.

Lu Liding couldn't help but sigh: "No wonder they say that Zhushan outside Yiqing County is a great scenic spot in summer. It really lives up to its reputation."

Yunfang also kept nodding.

Although Yunfang has been in Yiqing County for more than three years, she has never left the city due to her busy schedule. She has only heard of the fame of Zhushan Mountain but has never been there. She is very happy to see it today.

After walking up six or seven miles, Yunfang, who was already feeling a little tired, looked at the top of the mountain which was still halfway to the top and hesitated. If she went up the mountain and then down again, it would be very late when she returned home.

Lu Liding seemed to see Yunfang's entanglement, and motioned Yunfang not to move, saying, "Listen, there is the sound of water."

Yunfang, who had stopped walking, also heard the sound of gurgling water. Seeing that she also heard the sound, Lu Liding said, "Why don't we go find this stream, it's also interesting."

Yunfang immediately became interested and nodded in agreement.

The two did not go up again, but went horizontally following the sound of the water.

There was a fallen tree blocking the road. Lu Liding stepped over it easily, but Yun Fang couldn't get over it at all.

At this time, Lu Liding stretched out his hand to Yunfang and said, "Come, I'll pull you."

Looking at the hand stretched out in front of her, Yunfang struggled internally, but unable to resist the desire in her heart, she put her hand into Lu Liding's hand.

In this way, even after they passed the tree that blocked their way, the two of them did not separate their hands.

Yunfang even hoped that the road to find the water source could be a little longer.

But following the sound of water, they soon found the source. It was a pool of clear water with some fish in it. The surrounding scenery was pleasant, and looking up they could see a pavilion.

Yunfang and Lu Liding were holding hands and watching the fish swimming here, but they didn't know that someone in the pavilion had also discovered them.

Early this morning, after Yunfang went out, Yunfeng also went out immediately and headed towards the place agreed with Li Muwen. Then the five of them headed straight for Zhushan. On the way, they even overtook a carriage parked on the side of the road.

After arriving at Zhushan, the few of them discussed and decided to go up the mountain first, take a look at the whole picture of Zhushan after reaching the top of the mountain, and then go to Zhushan Pavilion to write poems and essays.

After arriving at Zhushan Pavilion, Yunfeng, who had no feelings about the mountain scenery, did not write poems like the other scholars. He just looked at the scenery casually. Unexpectedly, when he looked down inadvertently, he saw an unexpected figure. He could not help but exclaimed softly.

Li Muwen had already finished writing the poem. When he heard Yun Feng's voice, he hurried to his side, looked down in the direction of his gaze, and was stunned for a moment.

The whole world seemed to disappear in an instant, leaving only a man and a woman holding hands. He even wondered if he had seen it wrong, and whether that person just looked like Yunfang.

But Yun Feng's daze beside him made him unable to deceive himself, and Li Muwen seemed to have lost all his strength.

But he knew what he should say. He couldn't let Yun Feng stand here all the time. Other people who came today had more or less seen Yun Fang. If they saw her, Yun Fang's reputation would be ruined.

He quickly pulled Yunfeng and said, "Brother Yunfeng, come and take a look at the poem I wrote."

Yun Feng looked at Li Muwen: "Brother Muwen, my sister..." Before he could finish his words, he was pulled aside by Li Muwen. Li Muwen had a serious face, and Yun Feng also reacted at this time. He must not let others find out.

Yunfeng and Li Muwen deliberately prevented others from looking over there, and they didn't even dare to look at it.

Fortunately, Yunfang and the man went down the mountain quickly.
