Chapter 219 Yunlin Academy
Chapter 219 Yunlin Academy
When Xia Shengsheng went downstairs, Xia Er and Xia San were already waiting downstairs.
The two waited for a while, and after everyone was present, they asked the shopkeeper and found out that the food in the restaurant opposite was very good. They also asked how to get to Feng's residence. After confirming everything, they went to the restaurant opposite to eat.
After the waiter enthusiastically read out the names of the dishes, Xia Shengsheng didn't remember a single one.
Although the menu is very user-friendly for those who can't read, I couldn't remember anything after listening to it from beginning to end!!
The other people were also confused when they heard it.
After staring at each other, Xia Shengsheng had no choice but to speak first! !
"Brother Xiaoer, can you serve a few of your special dishes? There are only a few of us here, just serve as much as you think is enough! For the staple food, just serve rice! The same for both tables!!"
"Okay! Wait a moment, sir! I'll serve the dishes right away!!"
It was already past lunchtime, so there weren't many people around. Xia Shengsheng and a few others were sitting at the only two tables in the hall.
Sicheng whispered in Xia Shengsheng's ear:
"Mom, if I open a restaurant in the future, I will definitely make a menu. This will be very convenient for those who can read!"
"You can't even read a few characters! And you're still thinking about opening a restaurant? Even if you can open a restaurant and write a menu, you, the boss, probably can't even recognize the words on the menu, right?"
Ercheng began to attack Sicheng mercilessly again.
Sicheng retorted confidently, "I know a lot of words now, okay? Don't let your knowledge stay at a few years ago. I'm already eight years old. I can't say I'm very knowledgeable, but I can still recognize words, mom, don't you think so?"
Xia Shengsheng smiled and replied, "Yes, yes, our Sicheng is the smartest, but don't be proud. You still need to work hard in the future. The more books you read, the more helpful it will be for you to run a business and open a restaurant in the future. Do you understand?"
In the past two years, Sicheng has not been as playful as he was in the early years. He can now sit quietly and listen to Mr. Yang's class, and he can complete his homework perfectly.
There has indeed been great progress.
Therefore, Xia Shengsheng felt that Sicheng's dream of starting a business and opening a restaurant could still come true.
Yiyi and Shanshan also encouraged Sicheng. This youngest brother was actually the one they loved the most.
Ercheng loves him just as much, but he never gives in to others and just likes to go against Sisheng!
Ye Chao is always in a neutral state and doesn't talk much, but when he is with the children, he is as close to them as brothers and sisters.
The dishes in the restaurant were served very quickly. At Xia Shengsheng's command, everyone didn't care about anything else and started eating.
The reason for eating at two tables was not because there was a need to distinguish between a master and a servant when out and about, but mainly because there were too many people. If ten people sat at one table, it would be too crowded, so there were two tables.
But the dishes are the same, and they always taste the same after they come out.
After dinner and paying the money, they found a bookstore, wrote a visiting card, and went to Feng's house together.
The road to Feng Mansion was not easy to navigate. Although I knew the direction and how to get there in advance, when I got there, I was a little confused.
Later, after repeated inquiries, they finally found the location of Feng Mansion.
The Feng family is not a wealthy family, but it is not a small one either.
Mr. Feng passed the imperial examination some years ago and was highly regarded by the local gentry, so he was considered a well-known figure.
Xia Shengsheng and a few other children came here mainly to see what the Feng Mansion was like. In fact, Xia Er could just come and deliver the visiting card, but they had nothing to do anyway, and it would be anxious if they waited in the inn, so it would be better for them to come together and take a look.
"Xia Er, go knock on the door and deliver the visiting card! And also ask if Miss Feng is in the mansion recently?"
"Yes, ma'am!!"
When they arrived, only Xia Er went to knock on the door himself, while everyone else was waiting in the carriage.
In the carriage, which was some distance away from the gate, I couldn't hear clearly what Xia Er and the person who opened the door of Feng Mansion said.
But the two of them could chat for a long time.
Xia Ercai just came back.
"Madam, the people from the Feng Mansion said that Miss Feng is not living in the mansion these days, but is living in the newly built academy. I have already inquired about the address of the academy.
But the people from the Feng Mansion said that the academy has only been open for more than two months and has only enrolled seven female students, so we should not hold out too much hope. ”
Xia Shengsheng looked at Yiyi and patted her hands to comfort her.
"Then let's go directly to the academy and visit Xiao Feng. No, we should call him Dean Feng now!"
What are seven students afraid of? Even if there are no students, if Miss Feng is really knowledgeable, as long as she can accept Yiyi, then it won’t be a problem.
However, it seems that the Feng family does not support Miss Feng in setting up a college.
You know that there are few students in Miss Feng's college. Shouldn't the students who come and want to study here be given a warm welcome?
He acted as if he was afraid that they would regret coming. He did not mention the advantages of the academy, but only said that there were few students in the academy, fearing that they would be disappointed.
It seems that Miss Feng is having a hard time. Even her own family doesn't support her. No wonder the academy has only seven students enrolled in more than two months after its establishment!
Seven students may sound like a small number, but at least someone is willing to send their daughters to study there, which is not bad, and is better than nothing.
Miss Feng was feeling miserable at the moment! These seven students still didn't know how she had prayed for it!
Is it possible that her wish of ensuring that all girls in the country can go to school will be difficult to achieve?
Fortunately, Dean Feng’s academy was not built too remotely, and unlike other men’s academies, it was not located outside the city. This took the safety of the girls’ families into consideration.
Xia Shengsheng was very satisfied with the geographical location of the academy. This place was not in a downtown area, but there were some residents nearby. Moreover, the residents nearby seemed to be from well-off families, not the residences of peddlers and hawkers.
It’s not that the place where peddlers and hawkers live is bad, but the houses in the place where they live are cheap, the population is particularly mixed, and it is inevitable that some local villains will mix in.
The geographical location of this academy is very good, at least there is no need to worry about public security!
When we arrived, everyone got off the carriage.
Looking at the plaque of the academy, Yiyi couldn't help but read it out loud.
"Yunlin Academy..."
Yunlin refers to the sky and the woods, and is a metaphor for the freedom of unbridled conversation and soaring thoughts in the academy.
This name has a great meaning. It seems that Dean Feng has very advanced thinking, which is in line with Xia Shengsheng's temperament.
Yiyi also likes this name. She likes reading and imagines that men can express their feelings in a melancholy manner.
So she felt that Dean Feng must be a good gentleman, and she really wanted to stay here and learn from Dean Feng.
