Chapter 21. Getting back on track

When he came here, Li Xianyuan originally wanted to get a good name, earn a little money, and live a peaceful life, ignoring worldly matters. Unexpectedly, as soon as he got off the mountain, all the good and bad, simple and tedious things came rushing up.

Li Xianyuan was buried in it.

Walking along the bluestone path in the courtyard, the maid brought Li Xianyuan to the pavilion.

"Old Madam." Li Xianyuan stood outside the pavilion and saluted.

The old lady on the rocking chair closed her eyes slightly and said: "Wan'er is naughty by nature. She has been seriously ill since she was a child, so she is rarely known to the public. I apologize to you, Mr. Li, for the trouble I have caused in the past few days. As for the marriage...

... Wan'er came to see me yesterday, so I'll let this matter go. If Mr. Li is willing, just take good care of this scroll."

The old lady seemed to know what Li Xianyuan was going to say.

Li Xianyuan opened his mouth, but was interrupted by the old lady, who was full of memories and said: "Wan'er is naughty by nature. If she hadn't contracted a serious disease, I'm afraid even Wuhou County would have killed her."

Li Xianyuan said nothing, listening calmly and carefully to what the old lady said slowly.

"I can see that this girl really cares about you. She came to see me a stick of incense ago, and what I said is what she entrusted me to do. Mr. Li, please listen to me and give up on this matter.

"

Li Xianyuan was speechless, then spoke after a moment: "Is there something hidden in this painting...?"

"As expected, I can't hide it from you, Mr. Li." The old lady waved her hand, asking the maid to stop fanning. "Do you know Yin Zuizi?"

"Yin Zuizi...this painting was made by him."

The old lady nodded: "He is a monk. Because he had a certain fate with the old husband, he painted this soul-nurturing painting for Wan'er. After Wan'er left, Yinzui gave her a sachet, which can keep

Her soul is still alive and she possesses some magical power. Otherwise, Wan'er, a lonely soul, would not have been able to stay in the mortal world for so long."

While she was talking, she asked the maid beside her to bring over a bamboo-carved painting tube.

Li Xianyuan reached out and took it. He flicked it lightly, and the crisp sound echoed through the bamboo.

Li Xianyuan hesitated and said: "Miss Wan'er... is in this painting."

"Not here."

"Then where is she?"

The old lady's voice was trembling, and she was filled with tears: "The time has come. Now... I'm afraid I'm already in the underworld at Naihe Bridge."

Li Xianyuan, who had white hair and black hair, couldn't understand the sadness. But the departure of Ji Canghai, or Li Waner, made Li Xianyuan sad in his heart, and he could somewhat empathize with it.

Perhaps out of grief, the old lady issued an eviction order: "Mr. Li, please go back. I'm old, so I won't send you away."

Li Xianyuan nodded, carefully put the scroll into the painting tube with gentle movements, carried it behind his back, turned around and left.

Suddenly, the old lady's voice came from behind: "April 28th is my seventieth birthday. If Mr. Li doesn't mind, please come and sit down that day."

Li Xianyuan paused, regained his speed, and disappeared behind the rockery.

The carriage is still waiting outside the Li Mansion. It is the carriage belonging to the county magistrate's family. The county magistrate specifically ordered the carriage driver to take good care of Li Xianyuan today.

When Li Xianyuan got on the bus, the groom turned around and asked respectfully where he was going.

Li Xianyuan held the painting tube behind him in his arms: "Academy."

The carriage moved forward slowly and met a carriage coming and stopped at the door of Li's house. Li Xianyuan only heard fragments of words such as "The eldest lady is back."

Amidst the sound of horse hoofbeats, the carriage returned to the gate of the academy. Li Xianyuan got off the carriage and found that Fang Xian Cheng was waiting outside the door.

Normally, he might be a little flattered, but at this time, Li Waner's incident made him feel empty, or a little lost.

"Solved?" Fang County Prime Minister came over like an elder and pulled Li Xianyuan up the steps of the academy.

Li Xianyuan nodded.

Fang Xiancheng said with emotion: "The long-term pain is worse than the short-term pain. If you delay it for too long and you show your true feelings, things will be in trouble."

"I sincerely follow the instructions of the county magistrate."

"Huh? What is this?" Fang Xiancheng noticed the painting tube behind Li Xianyuan.

Li Xianyuan said: "The scroll given by Mrs. Li."

Fang Xian Cheng laughed: "It seems that the old lady of the Li family is very fond of you. Come in quickly."

Li Xianyuan nodded and walked into the academy with Fang County Prime Minister.

The status of scholars in this world is transcendental. In the previous life, they were inferior in everything except reading. Now the scholars here can master the aura of awe-inspiring, and naturally they are even better.

Even if it is just a child, the imperial court will issue a subsidy every quarter, which is enough to have enough food and clothing. Scholars and Jinshi will be treated even more generously.

From the street, the academy is not very big, but once you enter, you find that there is something else going on inside. After passing through the reception hall, your eyes suddenly open up.

I saw green grass in front of me, almost endless. Not far away, there was a green lake with low-hanging willow trees on the shore. A breeze blew, the lake water rippled, and the willow branches swayed lightly on the shore.

There are several cottages standing by the lake, and the sound of reading can be heard from inside the cottages.

It is like a paradise in the city.

"How's it going?" Fang County Prime Minister looked at Li Xianyuan quite proudly. "I don't dare to praise others in Wuhou City. As for this academy, there may not be a comparable Tongsheng Academy in the entire Dashang. Tongsheng from other counties are trying hard to come.

I study in the academy."

Li Xianyuan, on the other hand, seemed to be lost in thought, staring blankly at the lake.

"Li Xianyuan?" the county magistrate called.

Deep in the lake, a beautiful figure looms in the mist among the mountains and forests, looking like a fairy.

Leading the green donkey to push away the weeds in front of him, Li Xianyuan was slightly startled by the scene before him.

There is a woman taking a bath in the mountains. She is either a monster or a monk. No matter what kind of woman is found, she will not be able to do good.

Before the woman in the lake noticed him, Li Xianyuan turned around and walked away quietly.

Wow——

The clear sound of water came, and Li Xianyuan turned around subconsciously, and saw the beautiful figure turning around.

The lake is not big, even if it is deep, it is only a few feet away from the shore. It is so close that you can see everything at a glance.

The girl is extremely beautiful, with long wet hair that sticks to her exquisite body, and a few strands of soft hair just covering her bright red chest.

"You...!" The girl was embarrassed and angry, and her cheeks instantly turned red. Then for some reason, she walked towards the shore instead, until the lake water only reached her calves, and her whole delicate body was visible at a glance.

The girl looked shy, covering her upper body and tilting her head slightly, not daring to look at Li Xianyuan. Her figure was slender and graceful, but the thing under her crotch was small and delicate, making it impossible to look directly at her.

Li Xianyuan looked at it like a ghost for a few seconds, then looked away leisurely and turned around stiffly.

"Hey!" The young man behind him shouted, his voice as crisp as an oriole's.

Li Xianyuan seemed as if he hadn't heard anything and turned over on the donkey.

"Let's go...go quickly..." Li Xianyuan said urgently in a low voice, losing his indifference.

The donkey is not a horse, so don't expect it to run very fast. When it carried Li Xianyuan slowly into the forest path, it was enough for the young man to catch up with him.

"You saw my body, you want to marry me." The young man stood in front of the green donkey and got straight to the point.

Li Xianyuan looked at the sky and pretended not to hear anything. The green donkey walked past the young man.

"I don't care, you want to marry me." The young man refused and tugged at the hem of Li Xianyuan's clothes.

"I'm not as good as Longyang." His mood calmed down and he returned to calmness. Li Xianyuan looked at the young man calmly.

There were still two blushes on the young man's face, and he pretended to be serious: "But I do..."

Li Xianyuan was speechless. But the young man followed him like a sparrow and kept talking.

"Speaking of which, what is your name?"

Li Xianyuan was silent for a moment and was about to speak. A deafening explosion suddenly came from nine days away!

"Li Xianyuan!"

Li Xianyuan suddenly came to his senses and saw Fang Xian Cheng's expression of concern. Then he looked ahead...
