The two children came out to look for Wang Jingshan but couldn't find him, so they returned home dejected.

Jin Yuyao had just seen Zhou Shaokang off when she saw the two children returning dejectedly. She asked, "Didn't you go out to play? Didn't you have fun?"

Wang Baozhu was about to speak when Wang Mingzhu behind her tugged at the corner of her clothes.

Wang Mingzhu said: "There's nothing fun, and I haven't found any friends."

Jin Yuyao looked at Wang Mingzhu and saw that she was obviously relieved. It seemed that the two children had a secret. Since they didn't want to say it, they could just pretend not to know. After all, everyone has secrets.

Wang Mingzhu said, "Mom, if there's nothing else, let's go back to the house first."

Jin Yuyao nodded.

Wang Mingzhu took Wang Baozhu back to their room.

Jin Yuyao looked at their backs and asked, "What are these two people doing so mysteriously?"

Jin Yuyao walked to the front of the internal manager and saw that the shopkeeper Li was busy.

Jin Yuyao asked, "Manager Li, you have been in this town for many years. You should know everything about this town. I want to ask you something."

Shopkeeper Li put down the herbs in his hand and asked, "What's the matter, Doctor Jin? I will tell you everything I know about this town."

Jin Yuyao said, "Is there a girls' school in this town?"

Shopkeeper Li said without hesitation: "No, why do you ask this?"

Jin Yuyao said, "You can see that my two daughters are old enough to go to school, but there is no school in this town. Are there any girls with good education who are willing to come to my house to teach the children or go to her house."

After listening to Jin Yuyao's words, Shopkeeper Li said: "This is even less. Since ancient times, women without talent are considered virtuous. Few families let girls go to school. In the future, they will get married and have children anyway, so it doesn't matter whether they can read or not."

Jin Yuyao originally thought that if there was nothing in the village, then the town should be better, but she didn't expect that they were all about the same.

I have to see doctors every day and don't have the energy to prepare lessons for them.

The matter of going to school must be put on the agenda as soon as possible, Jin Yuyao thought.

Shopkeeper Li slapped his thigh and said, "Look, I really have such a brain. There is a woman like this. There is a Qin family in the east of the city. The Qin family has only one child, a girl. I heard that she has been proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since she was a child. The old couple has carefully nurtured her.

The old couple passed away a few years ago, and Qin Lingyue has not married yet. I heard that a matchmaker came to her house, but Miss Qin said she would never get married in the future.

Her parents were businessmen before and should have left her a lot of money, but I don’t know if Miss Qin is willing to teach.

Jin Yuyao said, "That being the case, does Shopkeeper Li know anyone from the Qin family? If so, could you please introduce them to me?"

Shopkeeper Li shook his head: "I don't know them. People from the Qin family rarely interact with others."

Jin Yuyao said: "Then I'll go visit him and give it a try."

Jin Yuyao was a man of action, so that afternoon she went to the Qin family with some warming and nourishing herbs for women. These herbs could be used to make tea, which was very good for women's health.

She came to Qin's house according to the location given by Manager Li.

It is true that the gatehouse outside this house is very grand, and Miss Qin does have the capital to not get married. However, she must have been subjected to a lot of rumors in this era. In such an era, a woman who can have such thoughts is not an ordinary person.

Jin Yuyao climbed the steps and knocked on the door.

After an incense stick of time, the door finally creaked open, revealing a young servant's head: "Who are you looking for?"

Jin Yuyao said, "I've taken the liberty of coming here today to visit Miss Qin."

The servant thought for a moment and said, "I've never seen you before. My young lady doesn't like strangers."

The servant was about to close the door, but Jin Yuyao blocked his way with her hand: "I really have something to ask your young lady today. Please let me know."

The servant looked at Jin Yuyao with a sincere look in his eyes and thought for a moment before saying, "Wait a moment, I'll go in and ask my young lady."

Jin Yuyao smiled and said, "Thank you."

The servant slammed the door shut.

Jin Yuyao was waiting outside the door.

Just when she felt that the people in the mansion had forgotten about it, the door opened and it was the same servant who said, "Come in. My lady will see you since you are a woman."

Jin Yuyao said gratefully: "Thank you, young man."

The servant opened a door and said, "Come in."

Jin Yuyao walked in and the servant closed the door.

The servant turned around and said, "This is Xiaolian. Let her take you to the backyard to see the young lady."

Xiaolian said expressionlessly, "Please follow me."

Xiaolian had a serious face, and Jin Yuyao didn't want to ask too many questions, so the two of them didn't communicate at all along the way.

She brought Jin Yuyao to the flower hall.

As soon as Jin Yuyao entered the flower hall, she saw a woman sitting in the main seat. The woman was not very beautiful, but she had a scholarly air that was very pleasing to the eye, and she looked elegant.

Qin Lingyue was also looking Jin Yuyao up and down at this time.

Jin Yuyao said, "Miss Qin, I brought some homemade herbs that you can boil to replenish your qi and blood. Please accept them."

"Please take a seat. What's your name?"

Jin Yuyao sat down and said, "My last name is Jin and my given name is Yuyao."

Qin Lingyue said: "I don't seem to know Doctor Jin. I wonder why you came here today?"

Jin Yuyao went straight to the point and said, "I heard that Miss Qin is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. I have two daughters and I would like you to be their husband. I wonder if Miss Qin is interested?"

After hearing Jin Yuyao's words, Qin Lingyue did not refuse immediately but picked up the tea on the table and took a sip.

After putting down the teacup, he said, "Dr. Jin, thank you for your kind words. I have never taught students before and I am afraid I am not qualified to do this. I am afraid I will mislead the students. Doctor Jin, please find someone else. These herbs are not worth the effort. Doctor Jin, please take them back."

Jin Yuyao had already prepared herself that Miss Qin might not agree. Seeing that Miss Qin did not want to talk more, Jin Yuyao stood up and said goodbye.

It was Xiaolian who took her out of the house.

Jin Yuyao looked at the tightly closed door. It was already a good thing that Qin Lingyue could see her for the first time. Shopkeeper Li said that Miss Qin never interacted with others.

Jin Yuyao thought about her expression at that time. She obviously thought for a moment after hearing what she said, and then refused.

That means there is still hope. I can ask her again in the future. One day she will agree.

Jin Yuyao returned to Xinglin Hall in a good mood.

Shopkeeper Li saw that Jin Yuyao was in a good mood and asked, "Doctor Jin looks in a good mood. Did Miss Qin agree?"

"no"

Shopkeeper Li was surprised and asked, "Why is Doctor Jin so happy?"

Jin Yuyao smiled and said, "It's not easy to enter the Qin family and meet Miss Qin. There will always be opportunities in the future."

Shopkeeper Li was pessimistic and said, "That's not necessarily true. Miss Qin is not an ordinary person."

Jin Yuyao just smiled and didn't say anything. She had carefully observed that Miss Qin was not in good health and her complexion did not look very good either. So she had a chance.
