Chapter 693: Half a Bag of Silver Ingots
Tang Bao, filled with the heavy love of her father, turned her head and saw Yu Zhilan making the last bowl of chicken soup for the scholars.
At any time, pre-exam mobilization is important.
"Once you arrive in the capital, you must not wander around aimlessly, nor be blinded by the bustling city... Learning has no boundaries; if you don't advance, you will regress. From the moment you hear the rooster crow, you must study and never slack off..."
"Yes, students must remember the teacher's teachings."
A group of scholars answered respectfully.
After listening to this, Tang Bao felt that his master did not give these scholars any blood.
Look at them, where is the blood boiling and the look of going to conquer the world?
Tang Bao thought that her master would have to say a few more words.
For example, "believe in yourself, win the first battle, be on the list..." and so on.
As a result, the master no longer paid attention to these students and looked at himself instead.
"Come here." Yu Zhilan said to Tang Bao.
After saying that, he took something out of his arms.
Tang Bao's face was full of surprise.
The stingy master is about to bleed!
"Master, are you going to give me some silver too?"
Tang Bao ran over in surprise.
Master’s money is so rare!
Even a copper coin is not easy to get out!
"I really misunderstood Master before, thinking he was stingy. It turns out he is actually quite generous..."
"Silver? You wish!" Yu Zhilan snorted, "Don't you have enough silver? Instead of offering it to Master, you're even trying to extort it from him. How unfilial!"
Tang Bao: “…”
Well, she was just dreaming!
The master is still the stingy master!
Yu Zhilan took out two letters from her arms and threw them lightly into Tang Bao's hands.
"Take it!"
"Master, what is this? Who is it for?" Tang Bao asked curiously.
As he asked, he looked down at the words on the envelope.
One letter was addressed to Zhang Qingmo, and the other was addressed to Zhou Zixuan.
Tang Bao had heard Yu Zhilan introduce these two people.
Zhang Qingmo is an old Hanlin who just retired this year, and Zhou Zixuan is a candidate who repeatedly failed the imperial examinations.
Although a Juren is qualified to be an official, it is only a qualification.
Those who have no power, no influence, no background and no popularity cannot become officials.
Zhou Zixuan is such a person.
However, his knowledge is good, but his luck is not so good.
"Do you think that you can invite talented people to teach in this rural place by going there empty-handed?" Yu Zhilan said.
Tang Bao said unconvincedly: "What's wrong with the countryside? We have beautiful mountains and clear waters, outstanding people, fresh air, and simple folk customs here. It's much better than those busy and noisy big towns!"
"The more talented and learned a person is, the more he should return to his roots, stay away from the intrigues of officialdom, stay away from the hustle and bustle of the city, return to nature, cleanse his soul, sublimate his sentiments, and write a masterpiece that is unprecedented and world-shaking, just like you, Master..."
Tang Bao's little mouth was chattering, from the initial rebuttal to the final flattery.
Yu Zhilan's expression changed from a headache at first to a smile on her lips at the end.
Tang Bao saw that she had made her master feel comfortable, and asked with a smile: "Am I right, Master?"
"Yes." Yu Zhilan nodded with satisfaction: "Take these two letters with you. If there is an invitation from the master, at least one person can come."
Tang Bao thinks that she should be able to invite two.
"Thank you, Master!" Tang Bao said with joy.
By the way, Tang Bao went along this time not only to be a mascot, but also for another purpose.
That means inviting the teacher.
For the long-term development of Fude Academy, the teaching staff is particularly important.
Now the academy relies on the reputation of Yu Zhilan, the top scholar.
If Yu Zhilan leaves one day, the teaching staff will not be able to keep up.
Tang Bao privately felt that the day when her master Yu Zhilan would leave was probably not far away.
After all, the little brother is getting older.
Tang Bao said goodbye to her master and walked towards her carriage.
Shi Liu looked at the two snow-white horses standing next to the carriage, then looked at Lin Enyi holding the whip, and said eagerly, "Uncle Lin, I'll drive the young lady's carriage, okay?"
Lin Enyi's face darkened and he said, "Nonsense! You are the young lady's maidservant, and you are supposed to serve her. How can you do such rough work? You are disgracing the young lady's status!"
"If this happens at home, it's fine. But when you get to the capital, your every word and action will represent the young lady's reputation. You must not act so casually and cause her to be looked down upon by others!"
After hearing what Lin Enyi said, Shi Liu immediately shrank her neck.
"Uncle Lin is right."
In recent years, Shi Liu has often followed Lin Enyi to learn martial arts.
Strictly speaking, Lin Enyi can be considered half of Shi Liu's master.
After Lin Enyi taught Shi Liu a lesson, he saw Tang Bao coming over.
Then he said, "Go and help the young lady get in the car!"
"Yes." Pomegranate agreed.
Her original big strides turned into small steps, and she acted like a knowledgeable maid from a wealthy family. She walked in front of Tang Bao and knelt down to bow.
"Miss, let me help you get into the car."
Be respectful, speak at a moderate speed, and in a voice that is neither too high nor too low.
Boss Su originally wanted to carry his sister into the car, but after hearing Lin Enyi's words and seeing Shi Liu's appearance, he couldn't help but retract his hand.
I was thinking that I should buy a few more maids and servants for my sister.
When a young lady from a wealthy family goes out, she seems to be accompanied by a group of servants...
The crowd, who were originally talking at once, straightened their expressions when they saw this situation.
They can't humiliate Fu Ya's identity, right?
Tang Bao originally thought that, as usual, she would jump onto the carriage by holding the shaft with her hands, but Shi Liu ended up holding her arm.
They said they were helping her, but the problem was that she couldn't break free even if she wanted to.
So, Tang Bao had to get on the carriage in a dignified manner, with Shi Liu holding her arms with her hands, stepping on a low stool, in front of everyone.
"Father, mother, brother, and sister-in-law..."
Tang Bao sat in the carriage and waved to her family through the window.
The carriage headed towards the village entrance with the reluctance of the Su family members.
At the entrance of the village, Xuanyuan Jin stood in the morning sun like a painting.
Except, the cloth bag in his hand affected his fairy spirit value.
Lin Enyi naturally knew that Xuanyuan Jin was waiting for Tang Bao, and immediately stopped the carriage.
"Brother!" Tang Bao stuck her head out and shouted with a smile.
"Well, take these things with you."
After Xuanyuan Jin finished speaking, he handed the cloth bag in his hand to Tang Bao.
The cloth bag is heavy.
"What is this?" Tang Bao asked curiously.
"It's for you to reward your servants." Xuanyuan Jin said casually, "Don't let others look down on you. Reward those who deserve it. If you don't like someone, teach them a lesson or hit them with silver!"
Tang Bao quickly lowered her head to look at the things in the cloth bag.
——Half a bag of gold and silver ingots.
