Zheng Dan looked at Mr. Li in surprise, and then turned his head to look at Mr. Gu who was sitting far away on the grass.

There was a young man next to Mr. Gu who was putting things away, and An An made trouble for him, but he was not angry, and put the things that An An messed up again with a smile.

Maybe he noticed her gaze, maybe Mr. Gu said something to him, he raised his head and looked towards her. Meeting her gaze, he smiled slightly, bowed his hands and bowed to her.

Zheng Dan's face was slightly red, and he quickly bowed his head and returned the salute.

Li Baolu stood aside and watched. Seeing this, she couldn't help but pursed her lips and said in a low voice, "Would you like to go and see my An'an?"

Zheng Dan hesitated, Mr. Li didn't ask her to see An An, but to see Prince Zhi.

But she hasn't told her parents about it yet.

Li Baolu stood aside and waited quietly for her to make a decision. After a while, Zheng Dan nodded as if making up his mind and said, "Okay."

The husband told her more than once that the future needs to be fought for by oneself, and opportunities must be seized by oneself.

Prince Zhi not only agrees with her teaching in Qingxi Academy, he is also like a gentleman, like a jade, it is impossible not to be tempted, but since he is already tempted, it is better to work hard.

Zheng Dan's face was flushed, and she followed Li Baolu tightly by her handkerchief. Although she repeatedly told herself not to be nervous, her heart was still pounding.

It's not the first time she's been on a blind date, but it's not the same as before.

In the past, she went to see the man's mother, and she only had to follow behind her mother to express herself. Even if she met the man, it was under the eyes of the elders, and everyone looked up at each other.

Don't say you understand, you can't even say a few words.

But this time when she met Prince Zhi, her parents didn't know, only a Mr. Li who was about her age introduced her, and Mr. Li also taught her in a low voice how to find out about Prince Zhi's character, so as to ensure that their temperaments were compatible.

Zheng Dan listened in a daze, feeling even more nervous.

Prince Zhi was also a little nervous, but he didn't show it on his face, Shi Shiran greeted Zheng Dan, and then sat down cross-legged on the spread out mat.

Except for An An, who was alive and kicking next to him, the four of them were a little quiet when they sat facing each other.

Gu Jingyun glanced at his bewildered wife, and directly raised his head and ordered Prince Zhi, "Make me a pot of tea."

Upon hearing this, Prince Zhi immediately got up to get the stove to boil water, and Zheng Dan, who was also Li Baolu's student, also got up to get tea and prepared tea sets to make tea.

Zheng Dan turned over the teapot, and asked in a low voice, "Do you want Biluochun, or Laojunmei?"

"Let's ask for Biluochun, my wife likes it."

Zheng Dan picked up a tea pot to share the tea, and Prince Zhi smiled, "Miss Zheng has learned tea art?"

"When I'm at home, I always make tea by myself, but I only learn more carefully when I go to the academy. What kind of tea is brewed, what kind of water is used, what kind of tea set is used, and the temperature and temperature are all particular. But how can you be so comprehensive when you go out?"

Prince Zhi nodded slightly, "However, it is also beneficial to learn this tea art. You can make your own tea when you are familiar with it, and you can also calm down."

Zheng Dan nodded approvingly.

The two finally struck up a conversation, from tea art to other courses in the academy, then to piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, then to geography and Zhou Zhi, and finally to history...

Li Baolu was slightly relieved when she saw that they were talking lively. It seems that matchmaking also requires technical skills, and Gu Jingyun is better than her.

Gu Jingyun flicked her forehead, nodded her chin and said, "Here, your students are watching here, Zheng Dan has been here for a while."

Li Baolu stood up, "I'll go talk to them."

Gu Jingyun sat on the table and looked up at her, Li Baolu lowered her voice and said: "You can take care of the tasks assigned by the empress dowager, after you have been busy for a while, you can go anywhere you want, I will Listen to you."

Gu Jingyun raised his eyebrows and asked, "You all listen to me?"

Li Baolu nodded fiercely, "It's all up to you."

Only then did Gu Jingyun twitch his lips slightly and let her leave.

Ouyang Qing and the others were looking at this side from a distance, wondering: "What does Mr. Li want to ask Zheng Dan?"

There were also sharp-eyed people who pointed to the point, "Who is that person who made tea with Zheng Dan? Why have I never seen him before?"

"Following Mr. Gu, maybe he is a student of Mr. Gu?"

"There are so many people you don't know, how can you still know everyone?"

Wan Zhihe said thoughtfully, "I always feel familiar, as if I've seen it somewhere before."

She poked Ouyang Qing who was in a daze, and asked, "Do you know him?"

Ouyang Qing casually glanced at Prince Zhi, shook her head and said, "I don't know him, maybe he is Mr. Gu's student, haven't you seen him serving Mr. Gu all the time?"

Seeing that she was so careless, Wan Zhihe asked in a low voice: "What's wrong with you, you've been absent-minded since Mr. Li came."

Ouyang Qing lowered her eyes, glanced left and right after a while, and said in a low voice: "Zhihe, what do you think of me giving lectures in Mr. Li's academy?"

Wan Zhihe was taken aback, looked at her complicatedly and asked, "Your parents agreed?"

"Yunlu Academy is full of female students, and there are not many male students. I will teach them how to read, and I don't have to stay in the academy every day like Zheng Dan, and it will take up a little time..."

"Have your parents agreed?" Wan Zhihe interrupted her.

If the parents don't agree, everything is in vain.

Ouyang Qing was also a little discouraged, looked down at her toes and said, "I want to beg Mr. Li, if Mr. Gu can tell my grandfather... as long as my grandfather agrees, my parents will not stop me."

In fact, the person their family would most object to should be their grandmother.

But if the grandfather agrees, the grandmother will not and will not object.

Ouyang Qing was envious of Zheng Dan. She used to think that Zheng Dan, like her, had a strict grandmother, and life was not easy.

But looking at it now, I find that although the two old ladies are both strict, the directions of strictness are different.

Zheng Dan's grandmother hopes that Zheng Dan can inherit the mantle of the Zheng family and her natal family, study history, and write books.

So she supports Zheng Dan in all decisions that are beneficial to learning.

But her grandmother didn't allow them to embarrass the Ouyang family, knowledge, and etiquette must all be ahead of others, worthy of the four words "poetry and book heirloom".

And etiquette is more important than knowledge, her grandmother doesn't even agree with them going to school, let alone teaching?

If it weren't for girls from families with similar backgrounds who came to study in the academy, and her grandmother still wanted to compete, the few sisters might not even have the chance to go to the academy.

Ouyang Qing looked at Zheng Dan's back enviously, and said in a low voice, "I didn't expect Zheng Dan to be the most courageous among us."

Yes, who would have thought it was her?

Wan Zhihe was also a little silent.

In Yongmei's class, she and Ouyang Qing are considered to be the best in all aspects, and Mr. Li likes to leave anything to her and Ouyang Qing, and most of the activities in the class are organized by her and Ouyang Qing.

Zheng Dan's grades are very good, and she often takes the first place in the class, but her reputation in the class is not obvious because she is silent and introverted.

Except for her close friendship with Ouyang Qing, her friendship with other classmates is very weak, and she can count the things she said to her classmates in a day.

But it is such a person who has the courage to take the exam after graduation and wants to enter the academy to teach.

Looking at Zheng Dan who was kneeling on the table making tea in the distance, Wan Zhihe suddenly lost the intention to stop Ouyang Qing, and said in a low voice: "Mr. Li is here, you might as well ask her if you want to."

Ouyang Qing gritted her teeth, and finally mustered up the courage to mention it to Li Baolu.

Li Baolu was slightly stunned, looking at Ouyang Qing who was standing in front of her with her head bowed, but she suddenly thought of the old lady of Ouyang's family.

Because she often entered the palace, she often saw Mrs. Ouyang. Although she said very little, it was enough for her to get a general idea of ​​Mrs. Ouyang's temperament from their conversations.

That is a very strong and dignified old lady.

Li Baolu thought for a while and said, "I am very happy that you have this heart, sir. I heard that you are already engaged?"

"Yes, his family is also in the capital, so even if I get married, I can still go to the college to teach. His father is a student of my grandfather, as long as," Ouyang Qing lowered her head, "as long as my grandfather agrees, and I will marry him before I get married." Go to the academy, their family will not object."

If they objected, they would just call off the engagement, anyway, it was only after three rituals. Grandfather really loves her, so she is a low-marriage, and apart from being difficult to handle with her grandmother, Ouyang Qing is really not afraid of other things.

She is confident that she can live her life well, no matter what difficulties she encounters, except for her grandmother.

Li Baolu turned her head and glanced at Zheng Dan and Prince Zhi who were having a good conversation, her heart turned sharply, and she nodded to Ouyang Qing who was full of anticipation, "You can go home and wait for a while, this semester is coming to an end soon , Let’s talk about it next semester.”

Ouyang Qing breathed a sigh of relief and became happy. Since Mr. Li promised her, he would definitely do it.

"Teaching is not that simple, so I read some books frequently recently. The books taught by Yunlu College are a bit miscellaneous. I mainly rely on "Thousand Character Classics" and "Three Character Classics" to recognize characters, but "The Analects" is also taught," Li Baolu said in a low voice. He said, "You can go to Zheng Dan when you have time. Before she officially started teaching, she worked as an administrator in the library for half a year, and also sat in on the class for half a year. Listen to her opinions more."

Ouyang Qing nodded fiercely, her eyes sparkled, "Don't worry, sir, I will not let you down."

"Don't have too much hope." Li Baolu poured cold water on her, shook her head and said, "Mr. Gu may not be able to convince your grandfather, and even if your grandfather agrees, he may not be able to convince your grandmother either."

The old lady of Ouyang's family is notoriously stubborn.

Ouyang Qing also knows, but as long as Mr. Gu and Mr. Li are willing to speak up for her, the chances of success will be great.

"When you find time, you should mention it to your grandfather first. It's always bad for Mr. Gu to mention it first." No matter how gentle Ouyang Shangshu is, his granddaughter asked outsiders to intercede with him first, but she didn't tell her grandfather first. I'm afraid I will be sad and disappointed.

Ouyang Qing also understood this and nodded in response.
