Chapter 264: Not necessarily staying for long
"Yu Fox, you have come to this day, hahaha..." the old general laughed.
Yu Zhilan's face turned dark.
Xiao Tangbao looked at the old general and then at Yu Zhilan.
It seems that these two people know each other.
"Old General, how are you?" Yu Zhilan said with a dark face.
"Long time no see, Yu Hanlin." The old general said with a laugh.
"Old General, be careful with your words. I am only a teacher at Fude Academy now."
"Oh, okay, it's good to be a teacher. It's not a waste of your time to talk."
Yu Zhilan, “…”
His face turned even darker.
Little Tangbao watched with a smile, feeling very happy to see Uncle Fox get humiliated.
The old general smiled and said, "Jin'er, hurry up and sign up. It's such a blessing to receive Master Yu's guidance and instruction..."
Yu Zhilan looked at Xuanyuan Jin.
Xuanyuan Jin had a stern face.
"If you want to sign up, go line up at the back." Yu Zhilan pointed to the end.
Little Tangbao asked, "Is my brother coming too?"
Xuanyuan Jin glanced at the old general and nodded.
"Oh, then brother, go and line up." Little Tangbao said sweetly, "Brother must set an example and not break the rules."
Xuanyuan Jin, "..."
Silently walked to the end of the team.
Xiao Tangbao looked at Xuanyuan Jin's back, then at Yu Zhilan.
Suddenly I felt that this top scholar Yu might stay in my academy for a long time.
Of course, what kept Yu Zhuangyuan here was definitely not his two candies.
Yu Zhilan also glanced at Xuanyuan Jin's back, her eyes flashing.
Then, he looked at the child in the front with a serious expression.
It was a scene of clear wind and bright moon, and he looked majestic and solemn, like a stern teacher.
"What's your name? Where are you from? How old are you? When did you start learning? What books have you read..."
"Wang, Wang Changming... I live in Fengwei Town... Five, no, not really, eight years old..."
The little boy stuttered, his face was full of nervousness and sweat was all over his forehead.
Little Tangbao gave the little boy a sympathetic look.
When Uncle Fox gets serious, he realizes that it really is the case.
Yu Zhilan and Xiao Tangbao were registering here, and Old Man Su was surrounded by a group of parents.
"Master Su, I am Li Daming from Qingyang Town. This small gift is not enough to show my respect..."
"Master Su, I'm Zhang Cheng from Huangshitou Village. This is a small token of my appreciation..."
"Master Su, I am Sun Dawang from Kaoshan Village. Please don't despise these small gifts..."
"Master Su, I am..."
A group of people surrounded Old Man Su, giving him gifts and trying to get to know him.
Old Man Su quickly waved his hand to refuse.
"Thank you for your kindness, please take these things back..."
Their academy is not like the Li family's private school. If you want to study in the private school, in addition to paying tuition, you also have to give gifts to the Li clan leader of the private school.
But it doesn’t matter. Since Old Man Su doesn’t accept the children, these parents feel uneasy.
So, they just dumped the gifts on the windowsill, wooden blocks, chairs, and benches of the Su family...
Old Man Su, “…”
It turns out that refusing gifts from others is such a headache.
Qian Yuemei was overjoyed when she saw that her yard was filled with gifts that people had forced upon her.
I’m afraid you’ll be overwhelmed with gifts from now on, right?
Old Madam Su glanced at Qian Yuemei and said, "Second Brother, I won't say anything about your shallowness in the past, but since the Su family is going to build an academy, the Su family's character cannot allow others to say 'no', lest the academy's reputation be tarnished."
Qian Yuemei, "...Mom, I, I understand."
After saying that, he hurried to the kitchen to boil water.
I know in my heart that my mother-in-law will definitely not accept these gifts.
It hurts!
Old Mrs. Su looked at Qian Yuemei's back and shook her head helplessly.
This second daughter-in-law must be punished from time to time.
The old general saw that both adults and children were busy in the Su family's yard. After looking around and not seeing the eldest son Su, he simply walked out of the yard and went to look for the thatched house.
The thatched house was even busier.
Originally, if something happened in the village, it would spread very quickly.
There is now a long line of carriages in front of the Su family's door. They are all here to register for school, so the news will naturally spread faster.
"Everyone, work harder and build the academy quickly. Don't delay the children's studies!"
"Yes, yes! This is a big deal..."
"Li Ergou, hurry up and get some more thatch..."
"Sanzhu, add some yellow mud..."
Dozens of people were busy working.
Seeing this scene, the old general felt embarrassed to disturb Boss Su.
So, I rolled up my sleeves and went forward to help.
"General, you are injured, you must not move!"
The deputy general following behind him was startled and hurriedly stopped him.
At this time, Boss Su happened to see the old general, and quickly put down the shovel in his hand and walked over.
"Why are you here?" Boss Su asked respectfully, "Is your injury better?"
"Much better." The old general said casually.
After saying that, he glanced at his deputy general.
"you go!"
The deputy general quickly rolled up his sleeves, stepped forward, picked up the shovel that Boss Su had put down, and helped throw yellow mud onto the wall.
"This..." Boss Su glanced at the deputy general and wanted to stop him.
"Okay, he's just sitting around doing nothing. I'll send a few more people to help build the house later," said the old general.
"No, no..." Boss Su said hurriedly.
"What do you mean? This is my granddaughter's academy..."
When the old general said this, he suddenly realized that he had actually forgotten to win Xiao Tangbao's favor by helping to build the academy.
No! He needs to send more people to help.
And, go call for help now!
Thinking of this, the old general turned around and walked back.
"I'll go call for help!"
Boss Su, “…”
Why is this old man so impatient?
**
The old lady of the Duke of England's mansion never expected that County Magistrate Zheng would dare to refuse to help.
"A mere county magistrate is so bold!" the old lady said angrily. "Perhaps he has spent too many years in a small place and has become so ignorant of the immensity of the world that he can't see the world from a narrow perspective!"
After saying that, he looked at Madam Li and said, "Take the Duke's Mansion's visiting card to the prefectural capital. Since the prefect's wife is the little girl's godmother, let the girl's godmother personally facilitate this matter!"
Mother Li asked doubtfully, "What the old lady means is..."
"Prefect Xia's eldest son has always wanted to join the Ministry of War. As long as the little girl from the Su family enters the Duke's Mansion, it will only take a word from the Duke's Mansion for the Xia family's eldest son to join the Ministry of War." The old lady said proudly.
"I understand." Madam Li said, "I will have someone do it right away."
The old lady glanced at Mama Li, frowned, and said, "You're really getting older and less knowledgeable about etiquette. Although the Xia family may not have any roots in the capital, they are still a family of officials. Are you really going to send a second- or third-rate servant? You are close to me, so you should take care of this matter with a few maids and servants."
Upon hearing this, Madam Li had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "It's all because of my old age. I'll take people to the capital right away."
Mother Li said this, but her heart was filled with bitterness.
Mother Wang and others went to Daliushu Village, were beaten out, and suffered hardships along the way.
I am going to the provincial capital now, which is a longer journey.
What if the carriage breaks down on the road? Do we have to walk back?
How many days and nights will it take?
