Hu Sanlang suddenly thought of someone and immediately said, "It's not me who wants to kidnap Sister Zhang. I was forced to do it."
There really was someone behind him, so Dong Jianyong asked, "Were you forced? Who forced you?"
Hu Sanlang said, "I will tell you who is trying to murder me. If you let me go, I won't tell you."
Dong Jianyong nodded, "Okay."
Hu Sanlang certainly didn't believe that Dong Jianyong would agree so readily, so he said, "Swear that you will let me go after I tell you."
Dong Jianyong swore, "I swear, if I break my promise, I will have no descendants."
This oath was quite poisonous, and Hu Sanlang believed it a little.
Dong Jianyong urged, "Okay, I swear I've already sent it, just tell me now."
Hu Sanlang said, "He is the nephew of Lord Luo, the academician of Ding'an Prefecture."
"really?"
Hu Sanlang said hurriedly, "Really? It's Lord Luo's nephew. His name is Luo Hao, and he wants Sister Zhang's braised pork recipe."
When Dong Jianyong heard it, he believed it because of the braised pork recipe.
He looked at Hu Sanlang with a smile and asked, "Do you have anything else to say?"
Hu Sanlang shook his head. "No more. I've said everything I need to say. Please let go..."
Before Hu Sanlang could finish his words, Dong Jianyong exerted force on him and Hu Sanlang immediately felt difficulty breathing.
He slapped Dong Jianyong's arm hard, his face flushed red, "You, you swore..., you... are... not... afraid..."
Dong Jianyong grinned, "I don't have any descendants, so why should I be afraid of a bird..."
Hu Sanlang struggled for a while, and then died completely.
Dong Jianyong dragged Hu Sanlang to the place where Ma Erhuang San was buried, dug a pit, threw Hu Sanlang in, and then buried him.
Dong Jianyong also stepped on the soil to make it firm, and then covered it with some branches and dead grass.
After finishing everything, Dong Jianyong went back to the village to find Zhang Hulan and told her about Luo Hao who was betrayed by Hu Sanlang.
Dong Jianyong asked: "Do you want me to give Luo Hao to..."
"No." Zhang Hulan shook her head and said, "We rarely go to the capital city, so we just need to be more careful next time."
Zhang Hulan didn't want Dong Jianyong to take risks. The provincial capital was someone else's territory, and a strong dragon would not be able to defeat a local snake. What's more, they were the snake, or even not even the main snake.
Zhang Hulan planned to tell Wang Xingren about this matter. Now this business is also Wang Xingren's business, so let him handle this matter.
…
Wang Xingren went to his sister's place in Hekou County some time ago, and did not return to Changning County until Ye Hongyun sent someone to look for him.
The people arranged for him by Lord Wang arrived in Changning County.
Zhang Hulan received the message from Wang Xingren, and then took Zhang Dahua to the county town.
Wang Xingren was planning to rent a yard in the county town, but Ye Hongyun said that it was not cost-effective to rent a yard for just a few days, so she vacated the backyard of the county government office for him to use.
Wang Xingren pointed at the fifty people who came from the capital and said to Zhang Hulan, "Madam Zhang, they are all here. You should teach them well."
Zhang Hulan pulled Zhang Dahua to the front and said, "Let my niece teach. She knows everything."
Wang Xingren had no objection, so he bowed to Zhang Dahua and said, "Then I'll trouble you, Miss Zhang."
Zhang Dahua bowed to Wang Xingren and said, "Mr. Wang, you are too polite!"
Zhang Dahua then said, "Then I will start by teaching them how to make spices. After we buy pig heads and other things, I will teach them how to process them."
Wang Xingren nodded, "Okay, now everything will be arranged by Miss Zhang."
With Zhang Dahua teaching those people, Ye Hongyun pulled Zhang Hulan aside to talk.
Ye Hongyun said: "The teacher you asked me to find is not easy to find. The notice has been posted for several days, but no one has come to inquire..."
“It’s not that there wasn’t one. There was one who came to inquire, but the master didn’t want him, saying that he had bad character.
The master said that a teacher's character is more important than his academic performance.
If the teacher has a bad character, wouldn't he be leading all the children astray?
The children mainly need proper guidance when they are five, six, seven or eight years old.
The master said that since he has promised you, he will definitely help you find a reliable person.
If he really couldn't find it, he planned to call one of his classmates. But that person has a strange temper and is a bit arrogant, so he didn't know if he would come. "
Zhang Hulan was surprised. "Your classmates are not just scholars, right?"
Ye Hongyun smiled and said, "Of course he is not a scholar, he is a Jinshi."
"Jinshi?"
Although Zhang Hulan didn't understand the imperial examinations, he still knew about the concepts of scholar, juren, jinshi and top scorer.
She said hurriedly: "I only run a primary school, how can I afford a Jinshi?"
Zhang Hulan immediately thought, "That's not right! Shouldn't a Jinshi be an official?"
Ye Hongyun said: "Well, didn't I say that he is a bit arrogant. His family background is very ordinary, and he is from a poor family.
He doesn't like flattery. To put it bluntly, even if you are the top scholar and the emperor has given you an official position, it will be difficult for you to get things done in the court if you don't have a good relationship with the ministers in the court.
This person is more knowledgeable than the master, and his exam ranking is much higher than the master's.
But he was very stubborn. He had a good relationship with the master. The master contacted my father-in-law and asked him to help him arrange to greet the court, but the man was still unwilling to do so.
Then, other Jinshi were given official positions, whether they stayed in the capital or were sent to the local areas, but he was the only one who did not have a position.
When the master left Beijing last year, he said that he could find a way to get him into the Hanlin Academy as an editor, a seventh-rank official, but the man still disagreed.
It is said that he studied hard for more than twenty years just to serve the court.
He said that he had passed the imperial examination and had proven his ability, so if the court did not want to use him, then forget it. He would not ask anyone to arrange an official position for him. "
Zhang Hulan understood that this was a stubborn person.
People with a stubborn personality are suitable for scientific research and are also good at teaching.
Zhang Hulan smiled and said, "Thank you for your help, sir."
"Well, what's the problem? He doesn't have as much to do this year as he did last year. Many things have been assigned to the county magistrate and county lieutenant."
Ye Hongyun smiled and covered her mouth, "I tell you, we returned to Beijing for the New Year. I guess it was because Xingren Chuan had spread the news that the master had come to Changning County. He had lost a lot of weight because of the affairs of Changning County.
After returning to Beijing, the emperor summoned the master to the palace to see him.
When the emperor saw that the master had indeed lost a lot of weight, he praised him for a long time and asked him to take care of his health.
When I left the palace, the emperor gave me many gifts.”
this……
Zhang Hulan said, "But I see that you haven't lost much weight in this period of time?"
Ye Hongyun complained, "Alas, there is nothing I can do. I have to attend many social events after returning to Beijing.
His former classmates and some friends he met in Beijing all invited him to drink.
Besides, I have many relatives in Beijing, and it’s Chinese New Year.
This is the case when he exercises every day, otherwise he would be fat again now.”
That’s true. During the Chinese New Year period, many people need to gain weight.
I eat good food almost every day and don't work, so it would be strange if I didn't gain weight.
