Chapter 102: Goodbye (1)
The sea ship came from the direction of Fujian, sailed into Lieyu Bay under Chen Kai's attention, and slowly entered the port. The sea breeze is blowing, and the huge Zheng character stretches out on the mast, making people dare not look directly.
The next moment, the berth on the dock took the rope thrown by the sea boat, gathered manpower, pulled the rope, and the sea boat slowly approached. When the distance was right, the rope was tied to the bollard, the ship was stabilized, the trestle was steady, and under the protection of the servants and maids of the Zheng family, a slightly haggard woman in costume pulled a little boy who looked like six or seven years old and got off the boat.
"Xiaguan, recruit the general to join the army, manage the affairs of the Ordnance Bureau, Chen Kai, the same governor of Zhangzhou Mansion, I have seen my wife, I have seen my son."
Zheng Chenggong's wife, Dong Yougu, and Zheng Chenggong's eldest son, Zheng Jing, are the heirs of the marquise and this military and political group in this era. Chen Kai knew that Gu was the honorific title of this woman in later generations, and in this era, she was more often called Zheng Dong's. This woman's surname is Dong, and her maiden name is a unitary character, she is the daughter of Dong Biaoxian, the deputy envoy of the Guangdong Inspectorate of the Chongzhen Dynasty, who married Zheng Chenggong seven years ago, and had Zheng Jing in the second year, and was Zheng Chenggong's original wife.
Seeing Dong Yougu and Zheng Jing getting off the boat, Chen Kai behaved like a courtesy, but Dong Yougu heard that the person in front of her was Chen Kai, but she hurriedly stepped forward and saluted back: "Chen joins the army, don't be like this, in the past few years, Chen has to join the army to help his son, and the concubine is inscribed with five feelings, so it is impossible to be polite." After that, Dong Yougu even said to Zheng Jing: "Jing'er, don't help you Uncle Chen quickly." ”
"The child obeys." The little boy replied to his mother in a respectful manner, and hurriedly bowed down to help: "Uncle Chen, please get up, my great-grandmother and mother have said that having Uncle Chen to help my father is like a tiger with wings, and I must think about Uncle Chen's study so that I can share my father's worries in the future." ”
"Madame and Son's reputation is overdue. For the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty and the knowledge of the national surname, it is natural. ”
raised his head, and looked directly, Dong Yougu was a year older than Zheng Chenggong, and her gestures were full of the charm of a mature woman, and this charm was contained in the bearing of the housewife, which was even more dazzling.
Chen Kai didn't dare to be rude, and turned to look at Zheng Jing, but he was still a six or seven-year-old child. But Chen Kai knew that Zheng Chenggong's son was not a good man, but he was still young and had not yet been revealed.
"Neiko sent a letter to his family, mentioning the intelligence and courage of the Chen family's uncle, who was really a hero. To have the uncle of the Chen family to help Neizi, Da Ming is very lucky, and my Zheng family is also very lucky. ”
"The lower officials just did their best, and they didn't dare to be ashamed, and they didn't dare to be ashamed."
Dong Yougu's posture is very low, it is nothing more than a means to win the hearts of the people for her husband, Chen Kai knows this. After a few pleasantries, his mind had drifted back to the school. Not to mention, enrollment will start tomorrow, and he still has to go to see the preparation today to feel at ease.
The mind is turning, but it is just a blink of an eye. Dong Yougu felt a little uncomfortable soon after she got on the boat, so she had to get off the boat in Nanao, recuperate for a few days, and then go to Chaozhou to talk to Zheng Chenggong about the newlywed You Sheng after a long absence. In the next second, Chen Kai was already thinking about how to mention the words of asking Dong Yougu to go back to the town mansion to rest as soon as possible, but a trace of beauty suddenly flashed in the corner of his eyes, and this thought was immediately thrown out of the clouds.
On the sea boat, a pretty figure stepped on the trestle, and with the support of the soft glutinous person who had called him, Tingting walked down the trestle and slowly came to Dong Yougu's side.
"Chen joins the army and is blessed."
"Zheng, little lady Zheng is polite."
Through the light veil of the hat, the little girl who was old last year still has a pretty posture and a taller figure, perhaps because the time is still short, and her body still looks a little thin and green. But even so, the eighteen changes of the female college only flashed in Chen Kai's mind in an instant.
"Sister-in-law, you are not feeling well, so you should go back to the main town mansion to recuperate before you can go to see Brother Sen."
"Hmm."
The girl held Dong Yougu's arm, whispered softly, and spoke eloquently. Dong Yougu's eyes originally flashed a hint of discoloration, and then disappeared without a trace, and said a word to Chen Kai, and the group boarded the sedan chair, and under the protection of the guards, they headed towards the main town in the city, leaving only Chen Kai and his entourage still standing on the dock, letting the sea breeze blow.
"Alright, let's go back to the duty."
The girl came with the boat, but Chen Kai didn't know about it in advance. He shook his head, as if disdainful of the performance of the attachés, and more disdainful of his own reaction. Soon, Chen Kai let go of this reverie, took the lead in leaving the dock, and rushed to the school in the city.
In the school, Chen Kai plans to only recruit the children of soldiers and craftsmen in the Ordnance Bureau or the military ** position, which can also be said to be a primary school for the children of employees.
When these students are enrolled, literacy is taught first, and with the foundation of literacy, the rest can be used. As for the future, mathematics, chemistry, physics, Chen Kai has begun to collect ancient related works and translated European science books, this kind of thing, many revelations can be bought in Chaozhou City, the last time he was on sick leave, Chen Kai found some, just used to compile textbooks.
Learn mathematics, physics and chemistry, and travel all over the world, in this era, even if this sentence is spoken, it can only be thought of as crazy words. However, in Chen Kai's view, science is the direction of the future, what Baguwen, hehe, he will not waste this time anyway, because what this school wants to cultivate is a group of real scientists, and even future scientific giants, not a bunch of rotten Confucians who are good at infighting in addition to reading dead books!
After checking the progress, Chen Kai was very satisfied, because when he arrived, the preparations had been completed, and the difference was nothing more than checking if there was anything missing, and the official enrollment would be available tomorrow.
Next, Chen Kai returned to the Ordnance Bureau as usual, and when he returned to the small courtyard of the General Town Mansion, Chen Yonghua, Hong Lei and Ke Ping had been waiting in front of the door for a long time.
Chen Kai didn't say much, and let them go into the study to teach. First of all, it is better to check the homework, Chen Kai naturally will not teach them Bagu Wen, even if it is a Confucian classic, he may not be able to compare with those real Confucian students. But there are some things, the brain circuits of modern people are different from those of the ancients, just like a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people, what he needs to do is nothing more than to interpret and open up ideas in another way, nothing more.
"The paragraph Zheng Boke Duan Yuyan talked about yesterday, tell me your opinion."
