Chapter 1783: Stepping Stone for the Ladder

Changzhong, on the contrary, stopped being careless. How should I put it? He really didn't take Hu Xiucai seriously before, but now he does. This kind of person is very cunning and would try to scheme. You should know that marrying into a rich family has a bad reputation and few people are willing to do so.

The yard was quiet, and everyone was looking at Mr. Hu in a daze.

Chang Zhong's eyes were sharp, "You are very interesting."

Unless you control this kind of person for your entire life, he will bite you back once given the opportunity.

After Master Hu encountered setbacks everywhere in the provincial capital, he desired wealth and power even more. He wanted to be like Master Zhou. So what if he was the son of a prefect? ​​He still had to be careful and flatter him.

The two tribesmen came back to their senses and looked at each other. There were many people coming to the tribe to study, but only this one was cruel enough to them.

The other scholar just felt a chill on his back and stood up and walked away from Scholar Hu.

Hu Xiucai's eyes were blazing, "I think I'm a good student."

Chang Zhong smiled, his eyes were indifferent, "If I don't agree, you will definitely resent the Zhou family for cutting off your path to success."

Hu Xiucai's smile froze, "Young Master?"

Chang Zhong stood up and said, "I have seen many people like you in the capital. My Zhou family does not bully others, but we are not stepping stones for anyone to climb the ladder. You may be resentful or want revenge, but I am waiting for you. Just don't let me catch you."

I will kill you when the time comes.

Chang Zhong's eyes were indifferent and his posture was as sharp as a sword, forcing Hu Xiucai to take a step back.

At this moment, Changzhong's demeanor changed completely, and he no longer looked kind to his fellow tribesmen.

In the capital, Zhulan had no idea that her son had shown off his power. She was very busy. She had anticipated that many people would sign up yesterday, so she arrived at the academy early today, only to find that there was already a long queue.

There are not many girls from farming families queuing today. Instead, most of them are girls from ordinary families near the capital.

Zhulan saw that Tao and Yulu came together and put down the list in her hand, "Why are you here?"

Tao indicated to Yu Lu that she didn't need to take care of herself, and sat down and said, "Wang's family also has girls in the academy. Yesterday, a girl went back to promote it, and with the information in the newspaper, some clan members came to look for me early in the morning. I haven't seen you for a long time, so I came to see you specially."

Zhulan, "It seems that many people in the Wang family want to send their daughters to school."

Tao nodded. "The family is huge and there are many ordinary people. There are also different levels within the family. Life at the bottom is not easy."

"As you can see, there are many girls who want to enroll."

Tao looked outside for a long time and said, "Your academy is not enough."

Zhu Lan smiled and said, "Female orphans start to learn early, and there are many of them who are older than them. A large number of them will come for this recruitment."

Tao said: "Even if you are not studying medicine, you will not have trouble finding a job."

Zhu Lan nodded. "You also know that there are many technological improvements, so workers are needed."

Colleges in various states have also been established this year, and everything is moving in a positive direction!

Zhulan pointed at the Buddhist beads again and said, "Why do I feel so uncomfortable watching you keep holding these beads in your hand?"

Tao paused while spinning the beads. "We are at home in mourning. I have gotten used to chanting Buddha's name and writing Buddhist scriptures every day."

Zhulan, "You won't build a small Buddhist temple in your house, will you?"

Tao, “Yeah.”

Zhulan thought for a moment and said, "You're here just in time. The college has recruited a lot of new teachers."

Tao was surprised, "Sent by the imperial court?"

"You are dreaming. How can the court send so many talented people here? The Chen family will send people to teach here."

Tao stopped spinning her beads and kept muttering, "The Chen family."

"What do you think?"

Tao was a clan wife, and everything she thought about was for the family. "I'll go back and tell my master, however, the Wang family is different from the Chen family."

Zhulan also understood, "Yeah."

She just wanted to tell the Wang family, to let them know in advance that although the Zhouhou Mansion already has many in-laws, the Zhouhou Mansion is the inheritance of the eldest branch, and Yu Lu is the future clan wife, so the marriage between the Wang family and the Zhouhou Mansion is the most reliable.

In the afternoon, Zhulan went home and saw Yuwen in the main courtyard. "When did you come?"

Yuwen took out the letter and said, "Grandma, guess who this letter is from?"

Zhulan's first reaction was, "Your father's?"

Yuwen shook her head, "You'll be surprised if you see it."

Zhulan was in no hurry to change her clothes. She motioned for the maid to bring some juice over. She opened the letter and was very surprised. "It's Miss Ji."

"It's her. Her granddaughter almost forgot about her. I didn't expect that she would write a letter to her granddaughter."

Zhulan almost forgot about this girl. "I wonder if this is what the old lady of the Luo family meant."

Yuwen, "My granddaughter thought she would see me."

Zhu Lan smiled and said, "This girl has a lot of ideas!"

Yuwen also thought so, "So she doesn't want to meet someone, so she wants to apply for the job of a teacher in the academy?"

Zhulan: "There are probably many reasons."

She thought that the old lady of the Luo family also meant that more contact would broaden one's mind, but she didn't know if she was avoiding Mr. Luo. She knew that the old man also went to the manor after retiring.

"She wrote a good introduction, addressing you as the dean and listing what she can do."

Zhu Lan put down the letter and said, "If she wants to apply, she can go ahead. As long as she has the ability, I won't stop her."

Yuwen smiled and said, "Grandma, there are so many female teachers with personality in your college."

Zhulan also laughed, "Yes, grandma hopes that everyone has their own thoughts."

Yuwen said sincerely: "Grandma, I think you are great."

A few days later, Changzhi went to Lizhou City and met his second uncle. He also met his second brother's brother-in-law, who had returned from his study tour and was preparing to take part in this year's autumn examination.

Changzhi left today. When he came, he had less than four guards, but when he left, he had more than thirty guards.

The families of these guards will also come to Beijing one after another, and he will not be responsible for what happens next, as his eldest brother will make arrangements anyway.

Chang Zhi also changed his carriage. He was very low-key when he came, but he was not so low-key when he left. It was time for him, the chief examiner of Sichuan Province, to show up.

Wu Chun personally escorted him to the city gate and said, "Be careful. If anything goes wrong, be sure to pay attention to safety."

Changzhi, "I'll remember that. I'll come back to pick up my uncle and aunt after I finish my errands."

Wu Chun: "Okay."

Chang Zhi did not go back alone, he brought Qian Jiang with him. Qian Jiang arrived first and waited at the city gate. Seeing Lord Zhou who looked very different, Qian Jiang wondered if there were too many guards.

Qian Jiang came to Lizhou with his parents. Qian's father only knew that his son was traveling with someone else. But when he heard about this scene, Qian's father asked, "Son, didn't you say that he was a scholar who was traveling to study?"

General Yang, Father Qian had seen him before. Looking at the neatly-organized guards, Father Qian swallowed his saliva.

Qian Jiang was also confused. He thought that Lord Zhou didn't want people to know that he had arrived in Chuanzhou so early, so Zui Yan beside him didn't dare to tell his father the truth. He thought Lord Zhou would keep a low profile before arriving in Chuanzhou, but he never expected him to be so high-profile!

Changzhi has come over, "Let's go."

Qian Jiang's throat was a little dry, "Master Zhou, what are you doing?"

Chang Zhi understood it immediately and laughed, "I am not afraid of people knowing."

Qian Jiang, "."

Father Qian, “!!”
