Chapter 41
Xu Zheng and Xu Jing are now discouraged, and they are about to go out of the gate, for fear that something will go wrong at this time, but at this time, Wang Quanzao asked a few of them to stop, so frightened that Xu Zheng and Xu Jing almost didn't call out, and stopped suddenly, not daring to turn back.
Life is like a play, relying on acting skills, if you show flaws now, then you will really lose, but Xu Deshan is not an ordinary person, where can Wang Quanzao be frightened, Xu Deshan stopped, turned his head and turned around, his expression was the same, there was no consciousness of lying, he looked at Wang Quanzao and said, "What else do you have to do?" ”
Wang Quanzao really hoped that he could see something strange in Xu Deshan's expression, but with Xu Deshan's aura, the more Wang Quanzao looked at it, the more empty he became.
The old fritters who have been mixed in the officialdom for more than ten years can be called an old goblin, and there is Xu Caizheng behind this Xu Deshan in front of him, and he must not be able to do anything to him, if he goes back like this, let Xu Caizheng leave a bad impression on himself, and give himself an inferior grade during the three-year evaluation, wouldn't he still have to be an official in a remote and suffering place.
Of course, Xu Caizheng is retired and has limited influence, but Wang Quanzao thinks deeper and thinks further, how old is Xu Deshan this year, he is only four years old, a four-year-old child, he can even say that he does not dare to get involved in his edge, if you want to say that this child has done nothing all his life, Wang Quanzai didn't believe it, sooner or later one day this kid will be able to get ahead and go to the cabinet to pay homage, if he doesn't leave a good impression on him now, if he makes him hold a grudge against himself, wouldn't he even have to be an official.
Thinking of this, Wang Quan was in a hurry, and bowed down again and said: "Little boy slow down, I don't think I am more talented than Master Fan, but these days I am also thinking hard, I want to benefit the people, I have a plan, I don't know what the little boy thinks." ”
Xu Deshan was not polite at all, and asked in an interrogative tone: "What is the plan, let's hear it." ”
Wang Quanzao said: "I came here, listen to the master book for me to explain, but also personally seen the Gaoyang boundary, here is located on the border, there are riots from time to time, and drought and flood are uncertain, farming is difficult, these two aspects can not be rushed, can only be slowly mapped, and I Song Dynasty to rule the world, Gaoyang County school is scarce, I think if you want to rule, it is necessary to learn, so I plan to build a school in the county, read and educate people, how do you think this is the plan?" ”
To tell the truth, these words were all made up by Wang Quanzao, because Wang Quanzao was in a hurry, and suddenly thought of what Ma Changqing said to himself just now that Liu Mengchen gave 1,000 taels of silver to build a school.
This is also Wang Quanzao's cleverness, he can make up the cause and effect smoothly, and he can't hear the flaws, even Xu Deshan nodded, Wang Quanzao saw it, and finally took a breath of relief, thinking that he had finally fooled this matter. But Xu Deshan nodded and nodded, but he didn't intend to let Wang Quanzao go, but asked: "Lord Zhixian, you plan to open a school, but you don't know which gentleman you want to invite and which courses to teach?" ”
This question is more detailed and difficult to answer, but Wang Quanzao seems to have touched some of Xu Deshan's thoughts, Xu Deshan came up, obviously it is a complete New Deal idea, requiring officials to be proficient in political affairs, and to do it for the people, so Wang Quanzao replied: "This school, the county government invested 1,000 taels of silver, built in the county, all the children of Gaoyang County, whether rich or poor, can be enrolled, those with poor talents, can read and write, those with good talents, enter Beijing to take the exam, as for Mr., I want to ask Lord Xu to go out of the mountain as a teacher, teach my county, I don't know what the little boy thinks? ”
Wang Quanzao is completely currying favor with Xu Deshan, currying favor with Xu Caizheng, anyone can hear it, especially Liu Mengchen, the roots of his teeth are itching, thinking that the thousand taels of silver didn't he make up to bribe Wang Quanzao, how can it be transformed now into money for the construction of a school in Gaoyang County, and what is even more odious is that Wang Quanzao only saw his words in words, and he didn't mention his name at all, what is this, isn't his thousand taels of silver in vain, and he didn't even hear a sound.
For Liu Mengchen, the surprise didn't stop there, I saw Xu Deshan think for a while and said: "My lord, according to what you said, my father can be the head of the school, and the courses are all set by my father, how about it?" ”
Wang Quan could have seen Xu Deshan's tone softened, and hurriedly said: "This is natural, not only that, this thousand taels of silver, I will hand it over to Lord Xu in a few days, and Lord Xu will be in charge of supervising the construction of the school, what does the little boy think." ”
Yes, Liu Mengchen couldn't even get angry at this moment, the silver he prepared for Wang Quanzao, Wang Quanzao didn't even see it, and gave it to someone else, it's really not his own thing, it's not distressing.
Xu Deshan was not polite, nodded, and said: "Adults care about the people, it is commendable, I should tell my father when I go back, and I will say goodbye, and adults will not send it." ”
After Xu Deshan finished speaking, he took Xu Zheng and Xu Jing and turned around and left, the three of them were already walking very close to the door, this time Xu Deshan didn't stay, and rushed out all of a sudden, Wang Quanzao wanted to stop but didn't stop it, everyone in the audience widened their eyes and saw Xu Deshan go out and disappear.
Xu Deshan led Xu Zheng and Xu Jing, followed the path when he came, and walked to the gate of the county government after a while, and was just about to go out, Xu Deshan suddenly remembered something and shouted: "Where is Gao Mang!" Then I saw Gao Mang, who had a blue nose and swollen face, ran out in the gatehouse, followed by Ma Debiao with a smug face.
Looking at Gao Mang again, grinning his teeth, it was obvious that he had suffered a lot of losses at Ma Debiao's hands before, but the communication between the two seemed to be quite good, it could be seen that Gao Mang was very happy, and when he heard Xu Deshan call him, he ran over and nodded at Xu Deshan, just like he had just found the organization.
Xu Deshan was very dissatisfied with Gao Mang's unambitious behavior, he finally set up such a tall and majestic image for himself here, as soon as Gao Mang came out, he ruined the image he had set up by three points out of thin air, so he coughed and said: "Who beat you like this." ”
Gao Mang hurriedly said: "It's not a fight, it's not a fight, I communicated with Master Ma and made a friend, don't get in the way, don't get in the way." ”
Xu Deshan glanced at Gao Mang uncompetitively, and then looked at Ma Debiao, Ma Debiao was originally proud, but after being looked at by Xu Deshan, he suddenly felt a chill in his back, and suddenly became nervous, and asked, "You doll, what do you see me doing?" ”
Xu Deshan snorted coldly: "When the school was built, there was a lack of a brick mover, I think the county lieutenant is good, and it is appropriate to ask him to go." ”
After Xu Deshan finished speaking, he turned his head and left, making Ma Debiao confused, and scolded in his mouth: "What the hell, this kid still dares to teach me a lesson, what to move bricks or not, I, Ma Debiao, a dignified county lieutenant, how can I do the rough work of moving bricks." ”
Ma Debiao's voice did not fall, and Ma Changqing, who came to check the situation, came over to check the situation, Ma Changqing greeted Ma Debiao's words, looked at Ma Debiao and said: "Master Ma, this time is different from the past, don't be unconvinced, this little boy said that you will move bricks, you may want to move bricks." ”
Ma Debiao glared and said, "Why is he a doll so spirited that he dares to instruct me to be a county lieutenant." ”
Ma Changqing shrugged and said: "Now even the county magistrate Wang was stunned by this kid, and he didn't dare to go east and west, so he shouted a few words to you as a county lieutenant, what's so strange." ”
……
Xu Deshan took Xu Zheng and Xu Jing recklessly, did not dare to stay in the county, went straight to the city gate, took advantage of the fact that it was still early and the city gate was not closed, and left the county seat smoothly, followed the main road, walked for half an hour, and returned to Xufu.
When the four of them arrived home, the sun was setting, and it was about to get dark, and the two ladies were worried about their sons, and they had been waiting in front of the gate for a long time, and when they saw the four of them from a distance, they finally breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, and ran forward, each hugging each other, and asking for a short time, and feeling distressed. At this time, Xu Caizheng heard the movement outside, and also walked out, and saw the four of them returning safely, and the stone in Xu Caizheng's heart also fell to the ground.
But what kind of person is Xu Caizheng, he has been in the Bianliang officialdom for more than ten years, and he can see at a glance that the faces of Xu Zheng and others are not right, especially Gao Mang, although he lowered his head, he could also see that his face was blue and purple, just like people fighting, he couldn't help but mention it again, thinking that these boys had caused him some trouble in the county?
Thinking of this, Xu Caizheng coughed, and the two ladies knew that Xu Caizheng had something to say, so they let go of Xu Zheng and Xu Jing and stood aside.
Xu Caizheng asked, "Have you ever gone to the county government today to worship Fan Xianggong?" ”
There is nothing to say about this, Xu Zheng, Xu Jing, and Xu Deshan all nodded.
Xu Caizheng asked: "Since you went, what have you gained today, tell me about your experience." ”
This time, Xu Zheng and Xu Jing were asked, their expressions were strange, they were not good at words, there were too many things happening today, and the two of them really didn't know what to say.
Xu Caizheng said: "Why do you look strange and avoid answering, is there anything wrong with it?" It doesn't matter, if there is something, if there is no, if you are still young, there is a mistake, and there is no big problem, knowing that you can change your mistakes and enhance your experience is a good thing. ”
This time into the city, where is to enhance experience, this is simply incredible, unheard of, unseen, Xu Zheng opened his mouth, he really didn't know where to start, so he pointed to Xu Deshan and said: "Father, you still have to ask the third brother, we, well, not as good as he said." After Xu Zheng finished speaking, he turned his head and ran into the courtyard, Xu Jing saw it, and hurriedly said: "The third brother knows, we can't say it well, you go and ask the third brother." Then he ran away.
The two ladies saw that Xu Zheng and Xu Jing were a little abnormal, and hurriedly followed, leaving only Xu Caizheng and Xu Deshan staring wide-eyed.
