Gao Laonian and Jiao Zan were both stunned.

Speaking of which, Professor Wen now, in this Yingzhou, the reputation is already very bad, literati, regardless of old or new learning, reputation is very important, literati are not afraid of romance, but take their disciples to visit the Qinglou together, and even among the disciples there are still those who have not yet reached the crown, which is too ridiculous.

Lu Ning looked at the two of them and said with a smile: "What, you are thinking now, you used to cry and shout that you want to worship this guy as a teacher, this guy wants to take a handful, but now this guy stinks on the street, and he thinks of taking us as an apprentice, right?" ”

"It's not, it's just that the student has really no heart to study recently......" Jiao Zan shook his head and bowed again: "Professor, if there is nothing else, I will leave!" If you don't go back, I'm afraid that my father will ......" sighed, turned around and left, but never looked at Fan Rulian again.

Lu Ning looked at Gao Laonian, "Do you want to leave too?" ”

"Why!" Gao Laonian's face flushed with excitement, as if he had just reacted, and rubbed his hands again and again, "But, this, this is too simple, no, no, the student's restraint is not ready yet!" ”

He studied the new scriptures hard these days, and when he encountered difficulties, he asked Professor Wen for advice, and he felt that Professor Wen was really a pedantic man, and he was simply a Bible that interpreted the mysteries of the world, which was the real great sage.

Hearing that Daxian was willing to accept himself as a protégé, Gao Laonian almost thought that he was dreaming, and he was so excited that he was incoherent.

Listening to Gao Laonian's words, Lu Ning smiled, "I learned from the teacher today, don't you know the character of the teacher?" Come, kowtow! ”

"No, no, no......" Gao Laonian wanted to insist on a grand event, but when he saw Lu Ning frowning slightly, he was startled, and hurriedly knelt down: "Master, the student kowtows to you!" Bang bang bang, kowtowed three times in a row, and said: "Tomorrow, the students will prepare the ceremony of apprenticeship and officially worship the master!" ”

Lu Ning smiled: "Whatever you want." ”

This high labor year, writing poems and making articles is really a mess, but I don't want to, but I am very open to new learning, hundreds of students in Yingzhou Academy, this high labor year, the studious and specialized in new learning, should be the first.

Observing all the way, the conduct is also excellent.

Coupled with the wooden personality, it is very suitable for the work of the imperial history and the supervision of the envoy.

After some experience, it is an appointed party, and it may not be an excellent feudal official.

As for Jiao Zan, he is also very smart, although he has no enthusiasm for new learning, but he is a plastic talent, not to mention, what happened to him can be said to be a human tragedy, and he has never heard of such a tragedy.

has even thought about it, after he worships himself as a teacher, he will assess him, and if he reaches any point in the exam this month, he can lend him money to redeem Fan Rulian, and it can be regarded as urging him to improve.

And just to collect the Huai army, so he invited the old lady to come to Huainan to play, by the way, the old lady medicine has a brother, no heirs, so he asked the old lady medicine to go to Jiao Huang for his younger brother, and Jiao Huang will not agree to Jiao Huang's cousin.

In this way, the knot between Jiao Zan and Fan Rulian has loosened a lot, and in the future, it depends on how they go, and it is none of their business, not to mention, at that time, they should have already left Yingzhou.

But I don't want to, this Jiao Zan, first, don't apprentice to himself, and second, no longer pay attention to Fan Rulian, it should be, finally figured it out? His father is the most important person to him, and without his father, he will have nothing.

Jiao Zan is indeed a smart person, but he has also lost his cuteness.

Lu Ning looked at Fan Rulian again, this matter is very troublesome, but he can't do it half-way, and let her fend for herself here.

Turning his head to Sidao, he said, "Go and call Mother Liu, and say that I want to redeem Fan Rulian." ”

Fan Rulian was stunned, knelt down busily, and cried: "Sir, don't be like this, how dare you be a concubine?" The gentleman has wasted a lot of money for the concubine in the past few days, and now the gentleman's money is all borrowed from debts......"

Lu Ning waved his hand: "Needless to say." ”

Gao Laonian was stunned when he heard this, and immediately felt extremely ashamed, has the master been borrowing money to survive? Life is so tight? As a disciple, but you don't know anything? It's really a piece of rotten wood, and it can't be carved.

After a while, the Liu family rushed over, and Lu Ning called her "Mother Liu", but there was nothing harsh.

She opened her mouth and asked for 500 guan, but Lu Ning didn't pay back the price, and said, you help me do something, and give you another 1,100 guan, of which 1,000 guan is the soft foot fee that the sixteen official gentry gave me to wash the dust at the beginning, you help me return it all, 100 guan, it was given to me by your master, I will return it now, and I have nothing to do with you from now on.

Liu was naturally overjoyed and agreed.

Fan Rulian heard that the Liu family wanted to redeem herself for 500 yuan, and she was so angry that she really wanted to fight with the Liu family, but she was already weak, and no matter how angry she was in her heart, she could only cry and secretly mourn.

Su Xiaoxiao was so happy that she wanted to cry, and she wanted to cry in fear, and she was glad that she was no longer an object given to the master by others, but a real full professor to help him redeem himself and place him again, although he was not a genuine concubine, but he was also a concubine in the side room.

I was afraid that I had made Mr. too expensive, and Mr. had just borrowed two thousand yuan, and in the blink of an eye, it would be spent.

Isn't it scary to know what to do?

Gao Laonian just stood quietly on the side, watching the master act, his eyes were full of admiration, his daughter was scattered and came back, where would the master put the money in his heart?

……

The next day, Gao Laonian was in the school hall and formally apprenticed to Lu Ning.

And the restraint of his apprenticeship turned out to be as high as 3,500 yuan of money tickets.

It was a sensation in the city.

But in this high labor year, all the family property was sold, and those who were eager to sell it were pawned for their houses and fields, so that they got together such a huge amount of bonds.

What's even more surprising is that Professor Nawen also accepted it indifferently.

Gao Laonian also helped Shizun buy a house next to the school hall and house Shizun's side room, which is Su Xiaoxiao, whom he respectfully called "Outer Master's Mother".

Gao Laonian was poor, so he lived in the foot room of the front yard of the house to study and serve the master, and outsiders saw him as a slave to guard the door and guard the courtyard for the master.

The entire Yingzhou City was a sensation.

In addition to his brother, he was so angry that he wanted to find Professor Wen's theory, but he was stopped after all, and his younger brother did it voluntarily, even if he went to Professor Wen to make noise, if Professor Wen was cheeky, there was nothing he could do.

On the contrary, if the younger brother falls for Professor Wen's Gu, he may suffer instead.

In a few days, it was the beginning of July.

Liu's painting boat was suddenly raided by the Commercial Tax Department, but it was last month, concealing income, and the amount was huge, and was heavily fined 5,000 yuan.

The female singers of the Liu family's painting boat, I heard that they were all sent to Qilu with their own arrangements, some had to volunteer to be female workers, some were weak and talented, and entered the opera troupe in the East China Sea, and so on.

Then a few days later, there was even more shocking news, saying that the Liu family painting boat had become Professor Wen's.

It is said that it was Professor Wen who reported the Liu family, so half of the 5,000 yuan of the heavy fine was given to Professor Wen as a gold award, and Liu's painting boat was also discounted as a bonus and rewarded to Professor Wen.

I don't know whether this news is true or not, but it seems that the huge income that Liu concealed last month was the two ransoms of Professor Wen, a total of 1,500 yuan!

Moreover, Professor Wen doesn't seem to be taboo at all, after the painting boat was re-cleaned and decorated, he really took the side room to live in, and the first floor of the painting boat became a place for him to invite guests and friends to eat and drink, of course, those who could be invited by him were all students he valued more, in addition to Jiao Huang, Li Shenjun, Wang Shenjun, and Mao Inspector, four of them, who also received posts, but none of the four went.

This news caused a sensation in Yingzhou City, but it also revealed an even more shocking information, in the national law and commercial tax regulations, it turned out that there was a provision that half of the fine could be imposed for reporting tax evasion, and it would really be enforced.

This has made many people unsettled, looking at the big families and businessmen they know nearby, they are wondering in their minds, whether there is any evidence to prove that they conceal their income and evade taxes.

The Commercial Tax Department kept the whistleblower confidential, but Professor Wen didn't care and was high-profile, so he was poked out, and I heard that he took the initiative to ask Liu's painting boat to be discounted into the bounty.
