When Meng Yunzheng returned, it was already very late. Fortunately, he entered the city just before the city gates closed, otherwise he would probably have had to stay at the academy tonight.
Today's poetry gathering was clearly a great success.
Not only did the students go over, but Meng Yunzheng also called Shu Rui, Er Niu, Da Bao, and others over, along with Wen Fuzi's students.
Therefore, the entire poetry gathering was very lively. Fortunately, the academy was large enough that even with everyone present, it was still quite spacious.
Although not all the tables were set up in the academy, the layout was very clear. Anyone who has been to a slightly larger academy would know that this kind of environment and scale was clearly designed for future enrollment and opening of an academy.
The dormitory supervisor, the classrooms, the library yet to be filled with books, the plum blossoms, orchids, bamboo, and chrysanthemums representing the Four Gentlemen, the shimmering clear lake, and the tranquil bamboo grove that brings peace to the soul.
Which of these places wouldn't be a favorite among students?
Almost at first sight, these people fell in love with the place.
They had no idea that such a place existed in Jiangyuan County. However, some wealthy families who had visited the manor knew that it used to be a black market. But now, there was not a trace of the black market left. The former hustle and bustle had been replaced by tranquility and elegance. It was truly wonderful.
After the tour, people naturally asked if the place was going to become an academy.
Meng Yunzheng did not deny that when others wanted to ask questions, he only told them to consult Master Wen.
Everyone assumed that the academy was opened by Master Wen, but they were very surprised. Master Wen was originally just a teacher in a small county school, specializing in teaching children in their early years. How could he suddenly have such ambitions and open such a large academy?
But then I thought about it again. Meng Yunzheng and Master Wen are close, and he even specially invited everyone here today. Maybe this academy is related to him, and he might even have a little something to it.
No one expected that the entire academy was run by Meng Yunzheng, let alone that he would become the headmaster in the future.
After all, the imperial examinations will be held after the New Year. If nothing unexpected happens, he will surely pass with flying colors and become a Jinshi. At that time, he will either serve as an official in the capital or be assigned to a post outside the capital. How could he possibly give up the official position that he has worked so hard to obtain?
Meng Yunzheng didn't explain further; there was no need to say too much now.
His main purpose today was to warm up the atmosphere, to let everyone see what the academy looked like and to let them know that the academy would soon be enrolling students.
The results were clearly excellent; everyone praised the academy highly and found it quite remarkable. Leaving aside the students already enrolled, some families with children preparing to enter school had already begun inquiring about the enrollment dates and regulations.
After hearing Meng Yunzheng's words, Shu Yu teased, "Then should I congratulate Headmaster Meng in advance?"
Meng Yunzheng liked it when she called him "Headmaster". They were sitting in the pavilion talking, and there were no other people around. He took her hand and said, "When will you become the Headmaster's wife?"
Shu Yu was still pondering when she heard him continue, "I've already made an appointment with the gentleman who calculated the auspicious date for Lan Hua. Tomorrow, I'll go to him to calculate our wedding date and see when we can get married."
"Aren't you afraid I'll be busy tomorrow and won't be able to go?" You even made plans in advance?
Meng Yunzheng said, "That's alright. Calculating the wedding date is the groom's responsibility. Once it's calculated, I can bring it over for you to choose from. But I think if the two of us go together, we can decide on the spot."
