Su Xun's little face tightened, and there was a slight blush of shame on his cheeks, staring at Kou Ji.

"Who the hell are you?"

Su Xun's voice was very high and a little trembling.

Kou Ji stretched out his hand, rubbed his head twice in Su Xundong's dodge, and said with a smile: "You kid is good......

Su Xun yelled angrily.

Kou Ji teased him twice, his eyes fell on Ouyang Xiu and the others, seeing them looking at him respectfully, he smiled faintly, "I still want to talk to you, I didn't expect you all to guess my identity, I'm sitting here, you can't play happily."

I'm one step ahead.

Farewell ......"

Kou Ji got up, thought about it for a while, and walked to the front yard.

Ouyang Xiu and the others got up, saluted Kou Ji in unison, and sent Kou Ji away.

Su Xun didn't give a salute, but chased after Ouyang Xiu and the others, and asked loudly, "Who is he?" ”

The elder Fu Bi was amused by Su Xun's younger brother, and said with a smile: "Who he is, you will know sooner or later, don't be in a hurry." ”

"Yes, yes, yes...... The rich brother has a point. ”

“……”

A group of older people spoke out in unison.

The angry Su Xun shouted.

Kou Ji walked out of the corridor courtyard and entered the front yard, where he saw Kou Zhun following a group of Confucian dancers to make ink.

I met Koji.

Kou Zhun immediately beckoned Kou Ji over.

A group of Confucians, both in age and knowledge, are taller than Kou Ji, and Kou Ji doesn't dare to take it big in front of them, hunched over and seen them one by one.

Those great Confucians also returned the salute.

In order to avoid being caught by a group of Confucians, Kou Ji led the topic to printing.

After agreeing to help a large group of Confucians print their books and their collections, he successfully escaped the examination of the Confucians.

Kou Zhun saw that Kou Ji didn't like to hang out among the Confucians, so he arranged for him to receive those high-ranking officials who had resigned.

Kou Ji was also happy to discuss some political affairs in the court with those high-ranking officials who had resigned, and listen to their advice.

The old men are very talkative and tireless.

Drink and talk all night long.

Talk about current affairs, talk about poetry and songs, and talk about beauties.

Kou Zhun helped the Wenchang Academy recruit Mr. in the house, and it turned into a poetry club.

Kou Ji stayed up with them until midnight before escaping the front yard under the pretext of an excuse.

The ladies in the backyard did not leave, and Kou Ji did not return to the backyard, so he thought about it left and right, and prepared to go to the two major workshops in Ruian Town to find a free place to live.

As soon as he went out, he saw Su Xun dragging a middle-aged man, pointing at Kou Ji and yelling.

"Shibo, it's he who bullied me!"

Kou Ji raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect the little guy to hold such a grudge and sue.

When the middle-aged man saw Kou Ji, he was slightly stunned and hurriedly bowed down.

"Cheng Wenying of Dali Temple, I have seen the Ministry of Kou."

Su Xun's eyes widened stupidly.

"The Ministry of Officials?"

Cheng Wenying hurriedly glared at Su Xun and scolded in a low voice: "Rude...... Don't you pay a salute to the Ministry of Officials? ”

Su Xun was stunned and dragged down by Cheng Wenyingsheng and saluted Kou Ji.

Kou Ji nodded and said with a smile: "No need to be polite......"

Cheng Wenying pulled Su Xun up.

Kou Ji looked at the two of them, stared at Cheng Wenying, and asked, "Xiao Su Xun is your nephew?" ”

Cheng Wenying was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Kou Ji meant by asking, and immediately said seriously: "Xiaguan and Su Xun's father, Su Xu, are world friends. ”

Kou Ji nodded thoughtfully and continued to ask, "Does Xiao Su Xun have a marriage contract?" ”

When Cheng Wenying heard this, his face changed, and his expression was a little stiff: "Su Xun and the little girl have a marriage contract. ”

Su Xun had just reacted from the shock brought to him by Kou Ji's identity, and when he heard Kou Ji's question, two blush rose on his face, and he snorted angrily: "Why are you asking this?" ”

Cheng Wenying was taken aback, and hurriedly scolded: "Rude! Quickly make amends to the Ministry of Officials! ”

Su Xun was very rude in front of Kou Ji, which really frightened Cheng Wenying.

Cheng Wenying is a wealthy man in Meishan, Meizhou, and the position of Dali Temple Cheng on his body was recommended by someone and obtained.

On weekdays, I don't sit in the yamen of Dali Temple.

But that doesn't mean he doesn't know what Kou Ji did in the court.

From Kou Ji's entry into Bianjing City to now, none of the people who have offended Kou Ji have a good end.

Among them are Ding Wei, the traitorous minister who leaned towards the government and the opposition at the beginning, and the queen mother Liu E, whose status is as stable as Mount Tai.

He is a small Dali Temple, and he doesn't even count a grasshopper in Kou Ji's hands, and he can be crushed to death at will.

Previously, Kou Ji beheaded a group of sub-officials at the entrance of the vegetable market, and he pulled out a random one, and it is possible that the official position is better than Cheng Wenying.

It was precisely because he knew how powerful Kou Ji was, so after hearing Su Xun's disrespect for Kou Ji, he was frightened.

If Su Xun didn't know Kou Ji's identity, he could still help Su Xun defend himself by not knowing.

But now Su Xun already knows Kou Ji's identity, and he is so rude to Kou Ji.

That's a bit unreasonable.

Under Cheng Wenying's reprimand, Su Xun gritted his teeth and bowed his head to apologize to Kou Ji.

Kou Ji saw through Cheng Wenying's thoughts, and said with a smile: "Cheng Sicheng doesn't have to be nervous, I don't blame Su Xun, but I like him a lot." I have no intention of recruiting him into my Kou Mansion as a son-in-law.

After all, even if he wants to enter my Kou Mansion as a son-in-law, there is no female dependent in my Kou Mansion to marry him. ”

Cheng Wenying smiled dryly when he heard this.

I was speculating in my heart that what Kou Ji said was a bit true or false.

When Kou Ji asked Su Xun if he had a marriage contract just now, he was very nervous.

for fear that Kou Ji would make a move and snatch away his son-in-law.

Although Su Xun is a little arrogant and likes to swim, he has a good character, and he is also a childhood sweetheart with his daughter, and the two of them are also compatible, and they will let their daughter in trouble.

He doesn't ask his daughter's husband to be a prince for all generations, he just wants his daughter to follow his husband and live a peaceful and happy life.

He wasn't short of money anyway.

When his daughter marries, he will give a full dowry.

Kou Ji saw that Cheng Wenying was still a little uneasy, so he smiled and said: "I just think that this son is a good talent, but it's a pity that his temperament is too out-of-the-box and too arrogant, so he should marry as soon as possible and control it well." ”

Cheng Wenying saw that Kou Ji's words were sincere, and immediately put his heart at ease, and said with a wry smile: "I can't hide it, this son is stubborn by nature, my brother doesn't ask, and lets him mess around in the countryside."

My sister-in-law was a little overwhelmed, and when she heard that Kou had opened a school and invited many famous teachers and Confucian professors to learn, she asked me to take him to Beijing and wanted him to enter the school run by Kou Gong. ”

After a pause, the bitterness on Cheng Wenying's face became even stronger, "I wandered around Kou Mansion for a few days, and I intend to fund Kou Gong with some money to help Su Xun change his enrollment place." It's just that Gong Kou has been busy with official business and hasn't seen me. ”

Kou Ji was slightly stunned, then looked at Su Xun, and saw that Su Xun's little face was a little angry, and he knew that he was very dissatisfied with Cheng Wenying's spending money to let him enter the Wenchang Academy.

Adults have self-esteem, and so do children.

Like Su Xun's smart child, his self-esteem is far stronger than others.

It's just that Cheng Wenying is a petty official, in order to successfully send Su Xun into the Wenchang Academy, he mixed in and outside the Kou Mansion, and I am afraid he has suffered a lot of white eyes.

It's a pity that Su Xun doesn't seem to understand his father-in-law's hard work.

Kou Ji said with a smile: "My grandfather founded the school and never collected more foreign money, otherwise it would be contrary to his original intention of running a school. In addition to some food and clothing on weekdays, it is necessary to purchase pen, ink, paper and inkstone, which costs some money, and the rest are not used. Even if it is a bundle, it only accepts six bows of worship. ”

Cheng Wenying's expression was a little gloomy when he heard this.

The reason why he didn't want to rest late at night was that he wanted to take a chance to see if he could meet Kou Zhun and help Su Xun ask for an admission place.

Seeing this, Kou Ji said, "However, you don't have to be discouraged. As far as I know, my grandfather did not pay the most attention to the students' knowledge, but to the students' hearts. ”

Cheng Wenying was slightly stunned.

Kou Ji smiled: "If you don't worry, you can hand over this kid to me, and I will ensure that he succeeds in enrollment." ”

Cheng Wenying was stunned at first, then overjoyed, and said in disbelief: "Really? ”

Kou Ji smiled but didn't say anything.

Cheng Wenying realized that he was a little out of shape, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "It's me who is rude...... As a ministry, naturally there is no need to coax me. ”

After a pause, Cheng Wenying hesitated: "Why did the Ministry of Officials want to help me?" ”

Kou Ji smiled: "Help you? I didn't mean to help you, I just thought that Xiao Su Xun didn't know the etiquette, and was going to send him to the Wenchang School Hall to learn etiquette. ”

Cheng Wenying was stunned.

I couldn't laugh or cry in my heart.

If Kou Ji's words get out, I'm afraid that the gate of Kou Mansion will be full of readers, asking Kou Ji to send him to the Wenchang School to accept the punishment of etiquette schoolwork.

He secretly guessed it, and felt that it might be Su Xun's jumping out of the heart, which attracted Kou Ji's attention, and Kou Ji intended to help one or two.

Cheng Wen should bow deeply to Kou Ji.

After the salute.

Cheng Wenying was excited, turned around and told Su Xun, "Follow the Ministry of Kou well, you will do whatever he asks you to do." As long as you can successfully enter the Wenchang School Museum to study and return to Meishan, I can also give an explanation to my sister-in-law. ”

Su Xun stared at Cheng Wenying stunned.

'Father-in-law! I came to you to avenge me, not to betray me! ’

However.

Cheng Wen should not be able to hear his heart.

Cheng Wen bowed his hand to Kou Ji and left Kou Mansion in great strides.

Cheng Wenying was very relieved to hand over Su Xun to Kou Ji.

As for whether Kou Ji would hurt Su Xun, Cheng Wenying was not worried at all.

Because Cheng Wen should know that Su Xun has nothing worth Kou Ji's plot.

Cheng Su and the two families, nothing can enter the eyes of Kou Ji.

Cheng Wen should leave later.

Kou Ji glanced at Su Xun, who was standing stupidly on the side, and beckoned to the servant not far away.

"Arrange for him to rest in the wing."

"When my grandfather opened the school to accept students, he needed a chicken to kill for the monkeys, and he was it."

“……”

The servant agreed, and with Su Xun, who was still in a daze, he left the gate of Koufu.

He didn't know that he had become the chicken to be killed in the Wenchang Academy.

Kou Ji left the courtyard.

met Chen Jing, who was leading the people to inspect Ruian Town.

Chen Jing warmly invited Kou Ji to rest in his newly built two-entry mansion.

Since the people of Ruian Town have earned enough wages in the textile and steel forging workshops, most of them have also escaped from the social life.

Some spare places were purchased in the town and some private homes were built.

Now.

In Ryan Township, with the exception of a few slackers who live alone, most of the people have moved out of the adobe houses that Koji had built when he first housed them.

Some of the vacated adobe houses have been demolished.

The land occupied by the adobe houses was also divided into pieces and sold to the people.

The imperial court also gained a lot of money from this.

After Kou Ji arrived in Chen Jing's house, Chen Jing scalded a pot of wine, sat down with Kou Ji and chatted for a while, chatting about the recent situation in Ruian Town.

Then he asked the family to boil some hot water, let Kou Ji wash up, and arranged for Kou Ji to sleep.

Kou Ji hid in Chen Jing's house for three days.

On the fourth day, he was called back to the courtyard by Kou Zhun.

As soon as I entered the courtyard, I saw that the high-ranking officials who had surrounded the courtyard and resigned a few days ago had disappeared one after another.

Only Kou Zhun sat in the main hall with a sad face, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Kou Ji stepped forward slightly and bowed, "Grandfather......"

Kou Zhun slowly came back to his senses, and after seeing Kou Ji, he hurriedly said: "There are two things that need you to help the old man refer to them." ”

Kou Ji walked up to Kou Zhun and casually touched the tea on the table in front of Kou Zhun, and when he saw that the tea was cold, he ordered someone to replace it with one before sitting next to Kou Zhun and asked, "What went wrong with running the school?" ”

Kou Zhun sighed and said, "There is an old man who told the old man that the money in the Wenchang Academy cannot be used for the money of my Kou Mansion. He said that the Wenchang Academy should be spended, and if it keeps using the money of my Kou Mansion, the Wenchang Academy will not last long.

What do you think? ”

Kou Ji pondered for a moment and nodded slowly, "I think he has a point. ”

Kou Zhun said with some dissatisfaction: "The old man runs a school, why can't he use the money in his own house." ”

Kou Ji smiled bitterly when he heard this.

If he hadn't seen Su Xun, Ouyang Xiu, Han Qi and others, he would have agreed with Kou Zhun very much.

Anyway, the opening of the school hall is used to relieve Kou Zhun's boredom.

As long as he is there, the Wenchang Academy will not be unable to run because of lack of money and food.

It can be seen that after Su Xun, Ouyang Xiu and others.

Koji changed his mind.

The talents are all in the Wenchang Academy, and there is nothing to see now.

But more than ten years later, when a group of talents came out of the Wenchang Academy, they sat in a high position in the court.

That's different.

At that time, a group of courtiers who have received the favor of Kou Mansion will give Kou Mansion some face.

When the time comes, what Kou Fu says will probably be more effective than what the officials say.

It is easy to influence the imperial power.

When it comes to controlling the imperial power, Kou Ji actually doesn't have many scruples.

He was afraid that when the time came, some people with ill intentions would take the opportunity to do things and destroy everything he had worked so hard to create.
