Chapter 129: Female Dominant Prodigal Son 12

The journey was safe and sound. When they arrived at the city gate, Lin Ruan jumped off the carriage first, talked to the soldiers guarding the gate, paid the entrance fee, and then called the two carriages behind to enter the city.

After entering the city, they headed straight for the Lin Mansion. Two cars stopped at the gate of the Lin Mansion. The gatekeeper saw Lin Ruan and hurried over to greet him. Lin Ruan said, "Where's the housekeeper? Ask him to call everyone else out to move the things."

After a long time of hard work, they finally put the things into the various rooms in order. Naturally, Lin's father lived in the main room, while Lin Ruan and Chi Wenning lived in the east wing.

It was already dusk, and the kitchen staff had already prepared the food and placed it on the dining table in the main hall. There wasn't much on the table; Lin Ruan had written a month's worth of menus for the kitchen, three meals a day, and they just had to follow the list. If there was anything else they wanted to eat, if there were guests coming, or if there was something new to eat, they could just tell the kitchen to order more.

The system discovered that Lin Ruan was not only a person with a strong desire for control, but also very particular about rules and order.

Although Chi Wen Ning had Ah Sheng, a servant, and Xier and Le'er, two servants, by his side, and Lin Ruan was always accompanied by two maids, he was still unwilling to let others serve Lin Ruan.

Lin Ruan was also happy to let him serve her. When Chi Wenning finished washing up, Lin Ruan had already fallen asleep. He climbed onto the bed quietly and lay down beside Lin Ruan, looking at her sleeping face, his heart full of mixed feelings.

He had never imagined marrying Lin Ruan and living such a life. To be frank, during the first month of his marriage, Lin Ruan had been incredibly kind to him. While not as good as she is now, she was still a rare and precious wife. But his heart was still lingering, and he couldn't believe the magistrate's wife would allow him to live such a good life.

Later, Lin Ruan failed the college entrance examination and became addicted to gambling. In just two months, he lost all his family property. When he was beaten and scolded at every turn, his heart gradually calmed down. Yes, as a man, a man whose biological mother did not care and whose legal father did not like him, he should have lived such a life.

But how can those who have seen the light continue to endure the darkness?

Fortunately, his light returned, brighter and warmer than before.

very nice.

Chi Wen Ning was thinking and fell asleep in a daze. When he opened his eyes, it was already bright outside and Lin Ruan was no longer in the room.

Xi'er and Le'er heard Chi Wenning getting up and hurried into the inner room to help him get up and wash. Xi'er smiled and said, "Madam, the young lady has already left the house. Before she left, she said she had someone call the owner of the clothing store to come and make a few sets of clothes for you and the old lady. She also asked you to choose three or five sets of student uniforms for her."

Chi Wenning nodded and asked, "I got up late today. Have my wife and father had breakfast yet?"

Xier said, "The old lady has just woken up. She must be tired from traveling and moving yesterday. Just now, when I went to the kitchen to get some hot water, I saw Ping'er coming in with a basin."

"In that case, go pay your respects to father first." Chi Wen Ning ordered.

Xi'er and Ping'er waited on Chi Wenning to wash and dress, and after finishing, they went to the main room. When they arrived, Chi Wenning found that Lin's father was having breakfast, so he went forward to pay his respects.

Father Lin said with a smile, "Wen Ning is here, hurry up and get up. You must have been tired yesterday. Did you sleep well? Did you have breakfast?"

"Thank you for your concern, Dad. I slept well last night and haven't had breakfast yet." Chi Wen Ning answered obediently.

"You've come at the right time. Let's eat together. We're used to eating together as a family, so it's boring to eat alone. If Ruan'er is not around in the future, don't eat alone in the room. Come and eat with me. Then we two will have company." Father Lin said with a smile.

Chi Wen Ning sat down next to Lin's father and had breakfast with him.

Lin Ruan got up early, drank a bowl of porridge, and asked Lin Yi to drive her to the gate of the prefectural school. She only asked Lin Chun and Lin Xia to wait at the door, and went in alone.

Although it is called a provincial school, Lin Ruan feels that it is more like a temple. It is even much larger and more spectacular than the Confucius Temple in her original world.

As you enter the gate, you will see a crescent-shaped pool in front of you, called Panchi, which means that students are as pure as water and need to be baptized before they can enter the school; behind Panchi is another gate, called Lingxing Gate, which symbolizes that Wenquxing (Lingxing) shines and gives students wisdom and knowledge; only after passing Lingxing Gate can you reach the main courtyard of the school.

In the center of the main courtyard is a grand and richly decorated hall called Dacheng Hall, where sages from past dynasties are enshrined.

After passing the Dacheng Hall, you will find the real school for the students, called Minglun Hall. Minglun Hall is divided into the Xiangyuan and Huiyuan, where scholars and juren can study. The two courtyards are divided into the Waishe, Neishe, and Shangshe, and each dormitory is divided into four classes: Tiandi Xuanhuang. Newly enrolled students are all assigned to the Waishe, and then divided into classes according to their ranking in the college entrance examination. The three dormitories hold a major examination every March. Only those who pass the major examination can enter the upper dormitory, and only those who pass the Shangshe major examination are allowed to take the Xiang or Hui examination. Regardless of the level of the major examination, students who fail the examination for five consecutive years are not allowed to continue studying in the prefectural school.

There is a library on each side of Minglun Hall, and behind the library is a dormitory for students to stay.

The school maid took Lin Ruan all the way to the residence of Bai Chenyu, the head of the provincial school. When Bai Chenyu heard that it was the top scorer of this year who came to report, he asked the maid to invite Lin Ruan in.

Lin Ruan came in and performed the student's salute, saying respectfully, "I pay my respects to the dean."

She was wearing an indigo-colored student uniform today, with a scarf of the same color on her head. She looked like a pure and modest gentleman, and Bai Chenyu fell in love with her at first sight.

She said gently, "Are you Lin Ruan? You're a student on government academy. Not only are you exempt from tuition fees, but you'll also receive six dou of rice and one tael of silver every month from the prefectural academy. Remember to collect it from Mr. Wang Zhai in the township hall every month."

Lin Ruan bowed and said "Yes."

Bai Chenyu asked again, "I heard that you are from Songyang County. Do you plan to live in the school dormitory or do you have other plans?"

Lin Ruan bowed and replied, "Master, I'm married now. I bought a house in the city and live with my father and the eunuchs. I only eat lunch in the dining hall of the prefectural school."

The so-called hard study means that scholars have no lunch break. There is no lunch break in Liu He’s private school, nor in the provincial school.

After the dean finished asking questions, he signed a certificate and asked the maid to take Lin Ruan to the dining hall of the township courtyard with the certificate. First, she received a set of student uniforms, which were of the same style, with jade-colored cotton cloth with green edges and a square handkerchief of the same color. Lin Ruan took out ten taels of silver to buy another set for replacement; she also registered her name and household registration with Wang Zhaifu, and came to collect the subsidy for the students at the beginning of each month; the outer and inner quarters each had four classes: Tiandi Xuanhuang. Because Lin Ruan was the top student this year, she was assigned to the Tian class. The maid led Lin Ruan through the dining hall, the courtesy room and the Tian class before sending her out of the prefectural school. After all, Lin Ruan was just reporting today and would not officially start school tomorrow.
