The servants were ordered to ride back to the Song Mansion quickly and led two horses out. They were the horses of Song Ziyan and Zilan, both of whom were specially selected by Mr. Yang for their brother and sister, and they were always raised.

Although Zilan didn't have time to practice riding a horse, she went to feed the horse before leaving school every day and played with it for a while, and her relationship was very close.

"Taxue, do you miss me? I miss you anymore. Can I take you to play today?"

Zilan named his horse Taxue because there was a bar on its hooves that was white, so he named it this way.

Qiongxin placed the saddle and helped her get on the horse. Then she followed her and sat in the back seat. Zilan didn't have time to practice and she didn't have time to practice. It would be dangerous if she couldn't ride a horse alone.

"We walked around the countryside to play. It was rare to go out. We had enough fun when we went back. You guys went to buy some food and brought us some chicken snacks and kettles."

Cui Hao is very good at enjoying it, it is a stance to go on an outing.

"yes."

"Su Xin Qiongxin, you follow Lan'er. Muxiang, go home. Report to grandpa and the others and we will go back in the afternoon."

Zi Yan gave a few words to bring Zhenjiang and Shuichen, and asked He'an to go buy things.

"Let's go. Lan'er, I'll take you to a fun place. The scenery is very good. I'm sure you like it. By the way, go buy a painting board."

Cui Hao was nagging and remembering something again, so he quickly chased and gave an order.

"knew."

"Really, it looks so good, so I'll draw a few pictures to take them back."

Zi Lan rode on the horse and felt the comfortable breeze. Her depressed mood disappeared a little, and she also had a two-smile smile on her face.

"Absolutely, that plum blossom is in full bloom, it's very beautiful. I have always wanted to go there, but I haven't met the right person. If I really meet you, I'll go together."

Cui Hao showed off very proudly.

"We'll go there, are there anyone else?"

Zi Yan asked.

"No, why do you have to do so many people? It's so quarrel."

Cui Hao shook his head.

“Okay.”

Zi Yan thought for a while and said with a smile.

They walked out of the city gate together. Zilan hadn't ridden a horse for a long time, so she was quite happy. She kept smiling on her face, and the breeze was very comfortable.

"Lan'er, why haven't you come to my house to play? I didn't see you when I went to your house last time. Have you received the gift I brought to you?"

Cui Hao turned his head and asked Zilan.

"I received it. I'm practicing. The copybook is very good. Thank you Brother Cui. I was punished last time when you came, hehe."

Cui Hao thought for a while and laughed loudly, "Oh, I heard from my grandfather that Grandpa Song drove all the scholars from other surnames out, right? It's not because of you."

"It's almost the same. Grandpa is trying to protect me. Another thing is that he has been aggrieved for a long time.

People from other surnames have gained a lot of benefits from my Song family, but are increasingly dissatisfied and want to get more things. However, this is the price of sacrificing my Song family's children, so my brothers and sisters are naturally dissatisfied.

In order to meet the girls who are out of the way, they can make a mess, and even private rumors spread. The clan elders were dissatisfied and took advantage of the excuse to attack."

Zi Lan did not hide it, it was all public.

"That's right. My Cui family used to recruit people from other families to study, but later they all retired. At that time, in order to gather more power, the situation is different now. Later, my family also modified the clan school and no longer recruit people from other families."

Cui Hao is very familiar with these things, after all, he is educated by his legitimate son.

"You are right. My Song family is now at this critical moment."

"Actually, I have a good suggestion. Several famous academies in Beijing have always accepted donations. You know, relying solely on repair costs can't support a large academies.

All of them donate money and books by households, which means to seek multiple quotas, but they still need to be strictly evaluated. It may be great to have a few more quotas."

Cui Hao said half of it and kept half of it, and squeezed his eyes at Ziyan and Zilan.

"Which academy is in urgent need of money? Are we aware of it?"

Zi Lan responded quickly, and such an opportunity should not be missed.

"Although Bishan Academy is not as famous as Lushan, it is also the first choice for poor children and often produces talents. Many poor children in the court come from Bishan Academy, which can be said to occupy a small part of the court's connections.

Previously, Bishan Academy refused a landlord's donation, but was probably dropped out of school because his child was having a hard time playing games. The landlord stopped donating in anger.

At present, the academy is considering donations from other families, but the candidates have not been selected yet. There are many people who want to donate money, but not everyone is qualified to be selected."

Zilan naturally understood Cui Hao's implicit meaning. Large academies really donate silver or books. There are so many people who line up to donate, but the academies don't have to ask for you.

"I understand, thank you Brother Cui for telling me this news."

Zilan had a measure in his mind and planned to let his cousin go there in person. Our family could donate, but only wanted two more places. He was willing to accept the assessment and regulations of the academy. Do you have multiple opportunities and multiple ways?

Cui Hao nodded with a smile, talking to smart people is easy to save trouble.

They came all the way to the wild plum blossom forest. This area is a wild forest. Large areas of plum trees are planted. Every spring, the plum blossoms bloom very well. There are many people coming here to see, and it is even a good place for boys and girls to meet.

Looking into your eyes, there are a rustling plum blossom, pink and white, the small plum blossoms are fragrant and charming, and the charm is proud. The fragrance of plum blossoms is slightly cool and refreshing.

“So beautiful!”

Zi Lan took a deep breath, feeling a hint of coolness all over her body, and the turbid air in her chest was swept away, very happy.

Cui Hao looked at her side face and smiled happily, with bright starry eyes and sunny smile, "How is it, I said you will definitely like this place."

"Well, this is so beautiful, I feel comfortable and happy. Brother Cui, thank you."

Zi Lan thanked him with a smile. In fact, he suddenly changed his itinerary today, maybe to make her happy.

Because he hadn't prepared anything, he could tell me what he had bought temporarily.

"Hehe, are we friends? What's this? As long as you are happy. I heard from my grandfather that Uncle Song did a good job this time, and it's certain that he was promoted. The emperor has praised him several times, so you can rest assured."

Cui Hao parrot learned to learn from his grandfather, saying that Song Zhengtian was one of the rare talent in the Song family.

"Thank you, I hope so much. Well, let's go and have fun. It's rare for us to go out and relax. We should be busy again when we go back. I'll draw a few plum blossom pictures later, which is simply too beautiful."

Zi Lan laughed happily, jumped off the horse to greet them, and couldn't wait to run into the forest to have fun. She hadn't played like this for a long time.

"Don't run, be careful of falling."

Zi Yan immediately got off the horse and went to chase his sister.

"Brother, come quickly. Please draw a picture for me later. How wonderful the scenery is."

A plum forest among the mountains and ridges cleverly blends with the mountains to form a natural and open scenery that is incredibly beautiful and is by no means comparable to that in the courtyard.
