"Second Master Bao."

When they came to the Jingshi Health Hall, Gu Dingchen and Li Shaoyou came out to greet them.

Gu Dingchen was invited by him a few days ago to serve as the vice president of Jingshi Health Hall and the dean of the college.

Of course, neither position has an official grade. At present, the imperial court has given Jingshi Yangtang two official positions, one on him and the other on the King of Qi (the second prince).

Although he has no official position, his status in the Jingshi Health Hall is only below him.

Of course, Du Qiuniang wants to lead the women's house, and she needs to calculate it separately. When the eldest group of those girls grows up and can have some self-protection and self-management skills, they can let Du Qiuniang go home.

Not yet.

As for why Gu Dingchen is willing to help him, the reason is very simple, two words:

Ideal!

Unlike the 21st century, a person like Gu Dingchen can only be moved by ideals.

Jia Baoyu knew what his ideals were.

Open the sea, enrich the country and enrich the people!

The Gu family is a big business family in Shandong, and they may also be involved in smuggling.

Jia Baoyu told him that if he wanted to convince the stubborn old-fashioned people in the court that the advantages of opening the sea outweighed the disadvantages, he had to cultivate a group of young and fresh blood, and use his broad vision, extensive knowledge and brave body to go to the vast sea to practice in person before he could test the truth.

And where can such people be cultivated?

In the north and south prisons and various colleges set up by the government, all students who yearn for Confucianism and Taoism are orthodox, and they will not easily accept this concept.

There is only his Jingshi Health Hall, where the most innocent and most lonely children in the world are gathered, and they have infinite possibilities to bring more changes to this era in the future.

Therefore, Jia Baoyu asked him to be the first mountain chief, and Gu Dingchen came without much hesitation.

Anyway, with Shoufu's words, it is almost impossible for him to enter the career in the past few years, rather than wasting his prime time, it is better to try to make a career with like-minded people like Jia Baoyu.

Perhaps, it can really change this era in the future as Jia Baoyu said?

Under the leadership of Gu Dingchen and others, after a long time in the spacious health hall, Gu Dingchen said: "Although the academy has been established now, there is no gentleman, and the tables and chairs are not yet fully equipped, so even if each child only has one class, only two hundred children can enter the school every day. If it is Yibao Second Master, even the female students next door have to read and hyphenate, and I am afraid that they will not be able to reach it in a short time. ”

Jia Baoyu was not surprised when he heard this, and said: "It's okay, these things are not in a hurry, take your time, it will always improve." First of all, the academy here is completely built, and the women's dormitory is there, so there is no need to worry.

Now there are only eight or nine hundred people in the health hall, and by the time the number of people is full, these things will definitely be ready. ”

"That's what the second master said."

Gu Dingchen nodded.

Jia Baoyu said to Li Shaoyou again: "Brother Li must not slack off, and the martial arts hall must also be set up as soon as possible." These children may not be able to read as well as the children of those big families (except for the deceased families and big families, there are very few people who can read), but they must not lag behind in body and martial arts. ”

Li Shaoyou naturally received the order, and Gu Dingchen also nodded, saying that he would definitely cooperate with Li Shaoyou.

He had personally gone to the sea, and knew that the most feared things at sea were the robbers and robbers, and that he could not walk on the sea without strong force.

discussed many matters with Gu Dingchen and others, and when they came out, Mingyan asked, "Is the second master going to see my aunt?" ”

Jia Baoyu looked up at the sky, glanced back at the women's house, and said, "No need, go to the Taishi Mansion." ”

Today is Ye Zhenzhen's birthday, and he promised to go yesterday.

Otherwise, he could have stayed in the garden today and fulfilled his promise to take Li Ling to the garden.

Anyway, Li Ling said that it would be another day, and he didn't say that it would be today or tomorrow...... It is also doable.

......

In the back kitchen of Yefu, the chefs and handymen were all allowed to go back to rest, and only a few cooks were on the side, helping with auxiliary work such as picking, washing, and cutting.

Because, early this morning, the kitchen was occupied by the young lady and the maids around her.

They thought to themselves, isn't it Miss's birthday today, why does Miss take the initiative to work if she doesn't say that she will be used for a good day?

Of course, they didn't dare to guess what was going on in the young lady's mind, so they just cooperated to do things.

"Miss."

The maid Xiaolian came in, Ye Zhenzhen glanced back at her, and saw that everything that should be done in the stove room was almost done, so she gave two orders and led Xiaolian out.

When he got to the foot of the eaves, he asked, "How is he?" ”

"Nope."

Ye Zhenzhen lowered her brows. He promised yesterday that he shouldn't come, could it be that he cared about secular etiquette, or did he delay something?

"But ......"

"But what?"

Xiaolian said: "But the second highness has come down." ”

Ye Zhenzhen's heart tightened: "Second cousin, what is he doing?" ”

"Give birth to a girl."

Xiaolian smiled as a matter of course, not knowing her young lady's mind at all.

Ye Zhenzhen's eyebrows tightened.

She is a smart person, Jia Baoyu was alienated from her because of the second prince before, if it wasn't for her aunt's matchmaking, where would the relationship between the two come from?

Now that the second prince is here, if Jia Baoyu doesn't come, it will be okay, it can be regarded as the birthday of his cousin and cousin, but once Jia Baoyu comes, the meaning will immediately change.

The second prince admires her, and Jia Baoyu is now her fiancé, and when they meet at this time, they will definitely not be comfortable.

There are many times when I am uncomfortable, and I will be suspicious.

She naturally didn't want to let Jia Baoyu and the second prince have a dislike between her.

"Xiaolian, you go to Ermen and order the two clever little guys, tell them to ride to Ningrong Street, if you look at him, tell him not to use it." Ye Zhenzhen hurriedly ordered.

Although Xiaolian was puzzled, she saw that Ye Zhenzhen looked serious and was about to go, and Ye Zhenzhen instructed again: "Tell them to take the avenue, don't miss it." ”

Xiaolian nodded and went.

In the front yard, Ye Hao was also a little worried, because he knew that his sister had invited Jia Baoyu to come over today.

But the second prince is the son of their aunt, and coming to celebrate his cousin's birthday at this time is not only a heart, but also reasonable, and he naturally can't do anything, so he has to welcome the second prince into the door in person.

"What is Cousin Zhen doing now?"

After the second prince entered the mansion, he asked casually.

Ye Hao said: "Today is my sister's birthday, she cooks herself, and she is probably still in the kitchen." ”

The second prince smiled: "Then it seems that I have a good mouth today." ”

Ye Hao smiled and said, "Second cousin, please", and then introduced him to Ye Qiong's study.

......

Jia Baoyu delayed a lot of time because he wanted to buy some decent congratulatory gifts in the West Market.

Although there were a lot of these things in the treasury of Rongguo Mansion, he didn't want the mansion to know his whereabouts, so he had to spend some time on the street to buy them.

When I came to Gude Fang, only two streets away from Taishi's Mansion, suddenly two subordinates from Ye Mansion rode over, saying that it was Ye Zhenzhen's order and asked him not to go over today.

Jia Baoyu said, "Isn't it your young lady's birthday today?" ”

"It's our young lady's birthday, but this is also said by the little girl next to the young lady herself, there will be no fake, my uncle should go back."

The subordinates know less, and in their eyes, Jia Baoyu is their uncle.

Jia Baoyu thought about it in his heart, yesterday Ye Zhenzhen still shyly invited him to come over, he thought it was just a family banquet, it was a big deal to go in the name of visiting Master Ye, it was nothing, he was not ashamed.

It's just that what does this Ye Zhenzhen mean by her sudden change of hexagram?

After thinking about it, he asked, "But there are guests in the house?" ”

"No one else came, but the Second Highness just came."

When Jia Baoyu heard this, he immediately understood.

He didn't know what to think for a moment.

Logically speaking, the second prince and Ye Zhenzhen have known each other since childhood, and they are cousins and sisters, so they can barely be regarded as childhood sweethearts. And the second prince likes Ye Zhenzhen again, and he once pursued it.

Although the matter between him and Ye Zhenzhen was not what he wanted, it was indeed his love.

Therefore, he can understand why the second prince is here today, many things, not that he can really let go of his heart.

He understood what Ye Zhenzhen meant, that is, he didn't want the two of him to meet like this. It's for his good.

"Second master, or let's not go."

Mingyan almost knows Jia Baoyu's affairs, and he is also clever, knowing that Jia Baoyu bumped into it at this time, which would make the second prince look embarrassed.

Jia Baoyu raised his head, looked in the direction of the Taishi's Mansion, and said with a smile: "Why don't you go, Your Royal Highness loves my cousin, it's too late for me to be happy, how can I retreat?" Let's go, it's coming soon. ”

Some things, once you retreat, will always retreat.

Today, he retired, which means that he is pregnant with the second prince to celebrate Ye Zhenzhen's birthday, and let the second prince know that he is not the same embarrassed? It's better to greet him with a smile and let the second prince see his openness.

Of course, he also has to see the reaction of the second prince, where to go in the future, so that he can have a plan.

"This ......" Seeing that Jia Baoyu didn't listen, the little guy in Ye Mansion didn't dare to stop him, so he had to follow Jia Baoyu and the others back to the house together.

As he spoke, he beckoned the eunuch behind him and asked him to present the gift.
