"Draw lots?" Song Huaqing's mouth froze, "Shouldn't we test our knowledge?"
Wei Xiu also had a constipated look on his face, "I'd better go report back to the teacher..."
Chu Younan was speechless. Song Huaqing had been a bachelor for more than ten years, so he was naturally more knowledgeable than Wei Xiu. But the teacher had finally been efficient for once. If Wei Xiu refused, how could he ask the teacher for help in the future?
Su Bei spoke up: "Let's draw lots. One will stay in Tongcheng, and the other will go back to Beijing."
"Capital?" Wei Xiu and Song Huaqing spoke at the same time.
I thought that with one more choice, the two might make different choices, but who would have thought that they both didn't want to go back to Beijing. Of course, they both knew that they had offended Chu Youyang, and who wanted to hang around in front of that childish emperor.
You still have to draw lots.
Su Bei took out two pieces of paper that he had prepared in advance, "Whoever catches the one with the word Tongcheng on it will stay in Tongcheng, and the other one will go back with us to prepare for the Beijing event when we return to Beijing..."
Before they finished speaking, they both said in unison: "Then I'll wait until I return to Beijing!"
These two people really have the same idea, and they both want to follow Chu Younan back to Beijing. Of course, with such a guardian god, who would be afraid of Chu Youyang? ! It's really difficult...
Before the drawing of lots began, a servant came running in, "Prince! Princess! Someone wants to see you!"
"Who is it?" Chu Younan said in a deep voice.
"I know that person. He is a teacher at Yuejian Academy. It seems that he wants to teach at your academy."
Um?!
Chu Younan and Su Bei looked at each other. Can a teacher from Yuejian Academy be used? ! Su Bei gave him a look: Take a good look at what conspiracy he has! Chu Younan nodded. All conspiracies and tricks were exposed in front of him, except that he couldn't guess Su Bei's little thoughts! Seeing someone coming, Wei Xiu and Song Huaqing temporarily made peace, but the eyes they looked at each other were still full of hostility.
Chu Younan went to the flower hall to receive the teachers from Yuejian Academy, while Su Bei chatted with Wei Xiu and Song Huaqing.
"Princess, shall we still draw lots?" Wei Xiu was young after all, and he couldn't keep his cool.
Su Bei calmly took a sip of tea and said, "No hurry, let's wait a little longer."
The two men were nervous.
Wei Xiu thought that since he and Song Huaqing felt that Prince Su's academy had a future, there was no guarantee that others would have the same idea. There was actually nothing to argue about between the two of them. One was in Tongcheng and the other went to the capital, so there was no contradiction or conflict.
Song Huaqing felt that the teachers at Yuejian Academy were experienced and knew the situation in Tongcheng, so it would be appropriate for them to be the principal of the academy. The two of them should not let the fisherman gain the advantage while the snipe and the clam fight.
"princess……"
The two of them said in unison, looking at each other.
"I have an idea..."
They both said in unison.
"You go first..."
The two of them got along surprisingly well.
Respecting the old and loving the young, Song Huaqing spoke first: "I decided to help the prince open the academy in Tongcheng first, and then go to the capital."
Wei Xiu also unexpectedly cooperated: "Okay, okay, then I'll be in Tongcheng."
Su Bei smiled like an auntie.
Wei Xiu is a newly crowned top scholar, and he is capable of controlling the students in a small place like Tongcheng. However, the capital city is full of talented people, so it needs an experienced old man, and Song Huaqing is just the right person.
Now she is very satisfied with the result, it is just right.
After chatting for a while, Chu Younan came back, looking very happy.
This is not a good sign. Don’t say that the mayor of Tongcheng has been decided right away.
Song Huaqing was not in a hurry, but Wei Xiu was. "Your Highness! We have just discussed it. Mr. Song is willing to go to the capital, and I am willing to stay in Tongcheng."
Chu Younan was even more delighted, "Really? That's great! I was just thinking that you have knowledge and Li Ying has experience. If he cooperates with you, the academy will definitely be able to cultivate more pillars of society!"
After hearing this, Wei Xiu felt embarrassed. It turned out that he was judging others by his own mean mind!
The matter was resolved. After Wei Xiu and Song Huaqing left, Su Bei and Chu Younan looked at each other.
"You go first."
The two said in unison.
But no one spoke. They looked at each other, and both wondered if the other could see through their thoughts.
In fact, Su Bei didn’t know what agreement Chu Younan had reached with the man named Li Ying, and Chu Younan didn’t know how Su Bei made Wei Xiu and Song Huaqing reach an agreement.
But both of them felt that the other seemed to be able to see through their thoughts.
So you didn't say anything and I didn't ask, and we were both guessing.
Chu Younan then felt that having one's thoughts read by others was indeed an uncomfortable thing.
Now that we have a place and a principal, the next step is to recruit teachers.
Before recruiting teachers, we have to give the academy a name first.
Just when Su Bei and Chu Younan were racking their brains to come up with a name for the academy, something happened again at Yuejian Academy.
Yue Xian's concubine's child died in the womb, and Yue Hongcai was turned into a waste. Relying on the good prospects of Yuejian Academy, Yue Xian wanted to divorce Zhao Qiucui.
After the divorce letter was drafted and signed, it was thrown to Zhao Qiucui. Yue Xian thought she was going to cry and scream, or throw a tantrum, but unexpectedly, Zhao Qiucui smiled at him sinisterly, "Have you grown strong now? You dare to divorce me? Have you forgotten that the land of Yuejian Academy is still my dowry!"
"Of course I haven't forgotten, but I wrote it clearly in the divorce letter that 20% of the academy's annual income will belong to you, which is considered as me renting this land from you." Yue Xian was a scholar after all, and he was not ruthless enough in his actions.
Who would have thought that Zhao Qiucui would stand up, pull out a piece of paper and throw it in his face, "You divorced me?! You dare to divorce me?! I tell you! I divorced you! What 20%? The academy is all mine!"
Yue Hongcai picked up the paper and looked at it, he was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
He was probably the first man in Tongcheng to be divorced. He was the only one not only in Tongcheng but also in Wuguo.
He did not forget that the land of Yuejian Academy belonged to the Zhao family, but he forgot that he married into the Zhao family.
Forced.
Zhao Qiucui took out two pieces of paper, one was the original marriage certificate, another was the divorce letter for him, and there was another one.
The marriage certificate stated that if Yue Hongcai did anything to let Zhao Qiucui down in the future, the Zhao family would divorce him and all the property would belong to Zhao Qiucui.
The other one was an IOU, which stated that Yue Xian had secretly kept a mistress and spent 100,000 taels of silver, so Yue Xian owed her 100,000 taels of silver.
"The academy is mine! It has nothing to do with you from now on!" Zhao Qiucui shouted with her hands on her hips.
"Without me, Yuejian Academy will be finished within a year!" Yue Xian also shouted back.
"Even if you're not here, I still have my son! Tomorrow I will change his name to Zhao Hongcai, and Yuejian Academy will be renamed Zhaojia Academy!" Zhao Qiucui said arrogantly.
From this point of view, it is not clear whether Yuejian Academy will be finished or not, but Yue Xian is about to be finished.
What dignity is there to talk about at this time? Yue Xian knelt down in front of Zhao Qiucui and said, "My wife! It's all my fault! I won't dare to do it again!"
