Chapter 296: Ribbon Cutting Ceremony
After hearing what Madam Zheng said, County Magistrate Zheng frowned.
From his wife's words, he guessed that his brother-in-law might have really had that kind of thought.
It just didn't work.
"So... the prince of the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion came here because of Ming Yan?"
County Magistrate Zheng simply asked directly.
"This..." Madam Zheng suddenly sighed, "The eldest son of the Yong'an Marquis's mansion has already been engaged. He is the legitimate daughter of the Dali Temple Minister."
County Magistrate Zheng: “…”
How come one or two of them are either married or engaged?
If that’s the case, why are you coming here? What are you planning?
County Magistrate Zheng was overwhelmed.
I instantly lost my favorable impression of Zhai Ruyu and Zhuo Yishu.
However, we can't kick people out.
"Tomorrow is the official opening day of Fude Academy. You and I will go to congratulate them and bring Mingyan with us." said County Magistrate Zheng.
"I understand, Master." Madam Zheng said with a smile, "Even if Master didn't tell me, I would still bring Mingyan with me."
At a time like this, of course I have to take my niece and visit the Su family more often.
County Magistrate Zheng stood up and was about to leave when he stopped and said, "Also, give the newly cleaned guest house to Prince Zhai to live in. Also, have someone carefully clean up the courtyard to the east and give it to the fifth son of the Su family..."
County Magistrate Zheng paused at this point and thought of Zhai Ruyu and Zhuo Yishu.
I couldn't help but feel irritated.
"Forget it, let's wait until Prince Zhai and Prince Zhuo are gone before inviting the fifth son of the Su family to live here."
Otherwise, the fifth son of the Su family would see what these two people think of Ming Yan and misunderstand Ming Yan.
When Mrs. Zheng saw the look on County Magistrate Zheng's face, she felt somewhat puzzled.
"Master, is it..."
"Tell Mingyan from now on not to run to the front yard unless necessary. If you need to deliver soup or something, have the servants deliver it."
County Magistrate Zheng interrupted Madam Zheng before she could finish her words.
"Master, look at what you said. Mingyan has always been well-educated and well-mannered, and she abides by the rules of the boudoir. How could a girl like her run to the front yard?" Mrs. Zheng said unhappily.
County Magistrate Zheng: “…”
I thought of the food box in Ye Mingyan’s hand just now.
He opened his mouth, flicked his sleeves and left.

The opening of Fude Academy is a big event for everyone in Daliushu Village.
Although the Su family only bought a few strings of firecrackers, the atmosphere was still extremely lively.
In addition to presenting a gold-plated plaque, County Magistrate Zheng also specially hired a lion dance team as a gift.
So much so that, amid the loud noise of gongs and drums, the lions leaped and tumbled, creating a lively and exciting atmosphere.
People from many nearby villages ran to Daliushu Village to watch the excitement.
The scene is comparable to a temple fair.
"Hahaha...Brother Su, our Fengqi County will be full of talented people in the future." County Magistrate Zheng laughed and said, "Your Fude Academy has the top scholar Yu as its leader. I'm afraid there will be a few more top scholars in the future..."
"Hahaha...that will happen naturally!" Old Man Su said very confidently.
When County Magistrate Zheng saw Old Man Su's confident look, he couldn't help but feel moved.
"In that case, I'll send Zheng'er over here in a few days," said County Magistrate Zheng. "Zheng'er will depend on your care from now on."
Why didn’t he think of sending his son to study at Fude Academy?
Although it is far from the county town, it is close to Fuya here.
What's more, that young master is also here.
Although I dislike my son for being stupid now, maybe I won’t dislike him anymore in the future.
The bond between people who grew up together is often deeper.
After hearing what County Magistrate Zheng said, Old Man Su patted his chest and said, "Don't worry. If nephew Zheng comes, let him stay at my house. He can live with Da Pan and his brothers, and it will be convenient for him to study..."
"Thank you very much, Brother Su." County Magistrate Zheng said in great surprise.
Wouldn’t it be better if I could live in the Su family?
As for the incident that had upset the young master when he stayed at the Su family for a few days, County Magistrate Zheng selectively forgot about it.
In short, in the eyes of County Magistrate Zheng, the children are still young and there is still a long way to go.
When the time came, two big men carried a plaque covered with red silk cloth and walked to the gate of the academy.
As the president of the academy, Yu Zhilan was entrusted with the important task of unveiling the plaque.
At this time, the drums and music stopped, and everyone stared at Yu Zhilan with burning eyes.
Yu Zhilan looked at the pairs of simple yet expectant eyes in front of her, then turned back to look at the nearly two hundred children's innocent faces in the yard behind her, and her mood suddenly became extremely excited.
The feeling at this moment is like that of the top student in high school, riding a horse and parading through the streets.
"Master Yu, please!"
Old Man Su's face flushed with excitement, and his voice trembled a little.
Yu Zhilan nodded at Old Man Su, then looked at Xiao Tangbao.
"Tangbao, come here!" Yu Zhilan waved.
Little Tangbao had no choice but to walk over.
"Master, what are your instructions?"
Little Tangbao is very conscious of being a disciple.
"You reveal the other side."
Yu Zhilan pointed across.
Little Sugar Baby, "..."
She looked up at the plaque being carried, which was taller than her.
Old man Su quickly picked up the little girl.
"Come, Dad will hold you." Old Man Su said happily.
The little girl also followed suit and lifted the red cloth, which was so great!
"Dad, you should come." Little Tangbao said in a baby voice.
This kind of opening ceremony, like cutting the ribbon, seemed a bit informal for a little kid like her to do.
"Fuya, come here!" the village chief shouted, "Your father can barely read, don't let him come!"
Little Sugar Baby, "..."
Could it be that you all know how many big characters I know?
"Yes! Come on, Fu Ya!" someone echoed loudly.
"Lord Fude is here!"
"Yes! Of course, the Fude Academy must have the Fude Village Master come..."
“…”
Regardless of whether they were from Daliushu Village or not, many people shouted loudly.
When Old Man Su saw that people were so enthusiastic about his little daughter, he didn't think there was anything wrong with being disliked. Instead, he was extremely proud.
"Daughter, did you hear that? Come here!" Old Man Su said excitedly.
Little Tangbao couldn't refuse and nodded, "Okay."
After all, I am God's daughter, so come if you want.
Honestly, I'm a little excited.
I am like a big leader, and I personally performed the ribbon-cutting ceremony.
Little Tangbao stretched out his little hand, picked up a corner of the red silk cloth, and looked at Yu Zhilan on the other side.
Yu Zhilan nodded to her little disciple.
Then, the master and disciple worked together to lift up the red silk cloth with great force.
The large characters "Fude Academy" written in a flamboyant style appeared.
Although the plaque was presented by County Magistrate Zheng, the words on it were written by Yu Zhilan.
Therefore, these few big characters are quite majestic and powerful.
"good!"
"good!"
…
I don't know who shouted the first word, but then there was a loud response.
The drums and music sounded again, and several lions surrounded the plaque, leaping and tumbling...
The atmosphere on the scene reached a climax again.
Lin Enyi danced the huge lion head, his eyes flashing with excitement, and glanced at Old Lady Su standing in front of the crowd.
When the academy at the eldest lady’s house is completed, he will definitely perform a lion dance to congratulate her!
Lin Enyi suddenly jumped and through the layers of people, he unexpectedly saw the man wearing coarse cloth behind him - British Duke Lin Hong.
