Chapter 262: Rushing to Sign Up
County Magistrate Zheng came with a lot of hatred and left in high spirits, which meant the trip was well worthwhile.
The old general looked at Xuanyuan Jin with a look of relief.
Of course he was happy that his grandson was so smart at such a young age.
In the past, due to my grandson’s poor health, some of my thoughts had been extinguished.
Now that my grandson is in good health, it’s time to start planning some things.
"Jin'er, they say marrying a virtuous wife brings less trouble to your husband. This is truly true." The old general said, "Think of Duke Yingguo Lin Hong. Although he hasn't achieved any great achievements in recent years, he is not a treacherous person."
When the old general said this, a rare trace of pity appeared on his face.
He added, "If there was a virtuous woman in the mansion who raised the children well and managed the affairs of the mansion, the Duke of Yingguo's wealth and splendor could naturally be enjoyed peacefully. Now that the Duke of Yingguo's wife has caused such a commotion, Lin Hong is going to suffer the consequences..."
"If a wife is not virtuous, it is the husband's fault." Xuanyuan Jin said coldly: "Since Lin Hong allowed his wife to act tyrannically and bully others, then he should bear the consequences."
The old general listened to Xuanyuan Jin's words and nodded.
"Jin'er, when you marry in the future, you must..."
The old general paused here.
The emperor has the final say on his grandson's marriage, and no one else can interfere.
The emperor has the final say on what kind of girl his grandson marries.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. You're still young anyway." The old general waved his hand in a gesture of giving up and said, "The eldest son of the Su family is a loyal and honest man. I'm thinking of having him join the military camp and take charge of the kitchen's purchasing affairs..."
The purchasing job in the kitchen is a lucrative one.
Just a little talk can make you a lot of money.
After hearing what the old general said, Xuanyuan Jin immediately understood that his grandfather wanted to help the Su family.
"The Su family has now established an academy and has many things to do. I wonder if they will accept Grandpa's kindness." Xuanyuan Jin said: "Besides, Grandpa also said that the eldest son of the Su family has a kind temperament and the old man of the Su family is also a straightforward person. By then, I'm afraid that the eldest son of the Su family will not take a penny more than the monthly salary..."
When Xuanyuan Jin said this, his brows furrowed slightly.
He added, "Grandpa, you can't hint to him and let him pocket some of the profits secretly, right?"
The old general asked, "... Is Grandpa that kind of person?"
Although, he did want to let the boy make some money.
Anyway, no matter who is in charge of purchasing, he will make a profit in the end.
It’s just a matter of how much you can get.
"Grandpa thought that the boy was honest. If he were in charge of purchasing, he wouldn't take any extra money for himself. That way, all the money would be spent on food, and the food would definitely be much better." The old general explained, "Mining is hard work. If people eat well, they will have more energy to work and mine more gold..."
As the old general spoke, he felt that his idea was very reasonable and correct.
"Grandpa is absolutely right."
Xuanyuan Jin gave the old general affirmation.
"Okay! Then I'll go to the Su family and ask."
The old general acted decisively and left as soon as he said he would.
"Grandpa, I'll go with you."
Xuanyuan Jin said this and followed the old general out the door.
The Su family was quite lively at this time.
There was a long line of carriages in front of the door.
Originally in Daliushu Village, only the big houses had carriages.
The Su family had only bought the carriage a few days ago.
It can be said that the people of Daliushu Village rarely see horse-drawn carriages.
Of course, everyone I met was from the Su family.
For example, the carriages of County Magistrate Zheng, Prefect Xia and others.
Now, the carriages were lined up in a row, vying for attention.
The children in the village ran from one end to the other, back and forth, along the long line of carriages.
They ran and laughed, adding a lot of joyful atmosphere to the whole village.
"Master Su, this is my son. He started learning at the age of six and is now nine. He originally studied at the Li family's private school..."
"Master Su, this is my grandson. He has been studious since childhood and originally studied under Mr. Liu..."
"Master Su, this is my youngest son. He entered the Li family's private school two years ago..."
"Master Su..."
In the Su family courtyard, everyone was dressed appropriately and was obviously the master of a wealthy family. They brought their own children, followed by servants holding gifts, and surrounded Old Man Su, vying to introduce themselves to him.
It was as if he was afraid that if he introduced the child too late, the Su family would not accept his child.
The scene was so chaotic, almost as chaotic as a vegetable market.
Old man Su's head hurt from the noise.
"Well, don't be anxious or push, just speak one by one..." Old Man Su said loudly.
Then, he lowered his head to look at Xiao Tangbao and asked softly, "Girl, there are so many people, should we accept them?"
Xiao Tangbao was a little confused when he saw so many people.
She also didn't expect that the person who studied in Li's private school would come to her house so soon.
The problem is that our own Fude Academy has not been built yet.
Little Tangbao blinked and thought about it.
Now that they have come to your door, there is no reason for you to push them away, right?
After all, I have already hired a teacher.
If not many students come to study, wouldn’t it be a huge loss?
Although I don't plan to make money from the academy, I can't lose too much, right?
However, it seems that these are people with wealthy families.
What about the children from poor families?
Her academy was not built for children from wealthy families.
"Dad, yes! Of course!" Little Tangbao said, "We are building an academy, so of course we have to accept students."
After saying that, he kicked his short legs and climbed onto the chair with great effort.
"Daughter, let daddy hold you."
Old Man Su quickly picked up little Tangbao.
Little Tangbao felt his vision was much broader when he was held by his father.
Finally, I don’t have to keep my eyes fixed on the hems of robes.
"Don't worry, uncles and aunts, let's register our names first." Little Tangbao opened his voice and said in a baby voice, "Our academy's building hasn't been built yet, and school won't officially start until next month. You can leave your names and addresses..."
"Yes, register first." Old man Su instinctively agreed with his daughter.
After I finished speaking, I just remembered, who will register me?
Although he had learned to read and write, he forgot most of what he learned and remembered little of what he learned.
Besides, there are no pens, ink, paper, inkstone, etc. here.
Little Tangbao smiled and pointed to Yu Zhilan who was enjoying the cool air and watching the fun under the big tree.
"That's Master Yu. Master Yu is the incarnation of Wenquxing. He was once the top scholar in the imperial examination. He is a brilliant writer and his calligraphy is exceptional. You are all so lucky today. To have the top scholar write down your children's names, perhaps you can even inherit some of Wenquxing's talent..."
Before Xiao Tangbao could finish his words, the crowd surrounding Old Man Su and his daughter rushed towards Yu Zhilan.
"Master Zhuangyuan, my son's name is Wang Weisheng, and he lives in Qingyang Town..."
"Master Zhuangyuan, my grandson is called Zhang Yuanheng and lives in Fengtang Village..."
"Master Number One Scholar..."
Yu Zhilan was so frightened that she stood up suddenly and took a few steps back.
Then, realizing his own loss of composure, he quickly straightened his expression and said, "Adults, please step back and leave the children behind. Those who make noise, commotion, or push around will not be admitted!"
As soon as Yu Zhilan finished speaking, the yard suddenly became quiet.
