Chapter 1056 - No Idleness (Page 1/1)

"Why, listening to the tone of the chief soldier, it seems that I am not welcome to come as an old man!"

Mao Wenlong's exclamation had not yet fallen, but Hong Chengchou's deep voice had already sounded outside the door.

Looking up and following the prestige, Mao Wenlong saw Hong Chengchou's figure standing at the door, with more than a dozen large wooden boxes stacked behind him. The old housekeeper who had served him for most of his life also followed, looking like this, it seemed that Hong Chengchou did not come on a whim.

"If the gentleman wants to come, why don't you notify me in advance, and the son-in-law can arrange for someone to pick you up." After a short period of stunned, Mao Wenlong hurriedly stepped forward to fight with him.

Hong Chengchou didn't believe the sweet words on Mao Wenlong's lips, and walked into the house slowly with his hands behind his back. After looking around, he nodded with satisfaction and smiled: "Yes, yes, the environment here is elegant, peaceful and undisturbed." It's more than a little better than the small courtyard in the palace. The old man has decided to live here in the future, I wonder if the chief soldier can give me a place for this old man? ”

Mao Wenlong suddenly broke out in cold sweat on his forehead, and this Hong Chengchou didn't know what nerves he had. The palace courtyard is not staying, but it suddenly comes to the noisy place of this academy?

"Sir wants to live in the academy permanently?" Mao Wenlong's face was full of suspicion.

At this moment, the servant had removed the leftovers and replaced them with tea. Hong Chengchou was honest and polite, and only after tasting the tea did he respond to Mao Wenlong with a smile: "The days in the palace are not idle, every day those little monkeys in the court keep going to bother the old man as soon as they scold and fight, and I can't live that day." ”

Hong Chengchou paused, squinted at Mao Wenlong and continued: "I've heard that the general soldier lives a very leisurely life in this academy, so I can't help but come and take a look." Sure enough, the smell of books here is different, and the old man still thinks that it is the most real thing to stay here. ”

Mao Wenlong looked Hong Chengchou up and down, and immediately came to his senses after thinking about it. Hong Chengchou was obviously tired of life in the imperial city and wanted to hide in this academy to seek peace. It's a pity that Hong Chengchou is really not at the right time, things have been very complicated in the academy recently, and Xin Wei, who has no experience as an official, can't take care of it well.

Now it's okay, Hong Chengchou sent it to the door by himself, if Mao Wenlong turned him away, it would be too inauthentic. Surprise turned into surprise, Mao Wenlong showed a sincere smile on his face, and bowed to Hong Chengchou: "Mr. can come, how can Mao not welcome it." Since Mr. wants to seek peace in this academy, of course, there is nothing to do. There is no problem with this small courtyard being given to Mr., but the son-in-law has a condition, I wonder if Mr. can agree? ”

Hong Chengchou frowned, his vigilant eyes never left Mao Wenlong's body, and he asked in a deep voice, "What requirements?" Let's start with that. ”

The retirement days in the imperial city were not easy, the official position was retired, but people lived in the imperial city. The ministers in the court who quarreled from time to time would go to them for advice whenever there was a matter. In this way, his official position and inappropriateness are not all the same, where is the appearance of retirement.

Therefore, Hong Chengchou began to come to Weihaiwei's academy to live, and he had already sent someone to find out about the life of the academy in advance, and found that this place might be the best place for him.

After coming to the academy, Hong Chengchou did not come to see Mao Wenlong immediately, but first walked around the academy by himself, and only came to see Mao Wenlong when he was satisfied.

If you have the intention to stay and live, you must not be careless when you get along with Mao Wenlong, so Hong Chengchou's vigilance is very serious.

Seeing Hong Chengchou's wary look in his eyes, Mao Wenlong rolled his eyes helplessly, and said straight to the point: "Mr. wants to stay in the academy, that's something that the son-in-law can't ask for." It's a pity that the academy is now being reorganized, and there are many big and small things, if Mr. wants to live in peace of mind, he still needs help. ”

A hint of displeasure flashed on Hong Chengchou's face, and he knew that Mao Wenlong, the little fox, would never let go of the opportunity to squeeze himself. But he Hong Chengchou does have a soft spot for this academy, and he is also a learned person, who doesn't like this academy with a strong scholarly atmosphere.

After thinking about it, Hong Chengchou also felt at ease, nodded and said to Mao Wenlong: "If you need the old man's help, just say it bluntly, and if you can do it, the order will help." ”

Mao Wenlong was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "I hope that Mr. can stay in the academy as the dean and take care of this academy for me." ”

Hong Chengchou was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Mao Wenlong to say such a thing. The position of the president of Weihaiwei Academy is a matter of great importance, and it is by no means a trivial matter. Mao Wenlong said it so lightly, as if this dean was very good?

After some deep thought, Hong Chengchou shook his head and refused: "It's not right, the old man came here to find a quiet place, but he didn't come here to continue to work for you." ”

Hong Chengchou was not polite to Mao Wenlong, and rejected Mao Wenlong straightforwardly. He knew that if he became the dean, he would inevitably have something to do in the future. This is too far from what he thought before, and it does not meet his ideal of living here, so there is nothing to talk about.

Mao Wenlong was not angry, he smiled and said, "Since Mr. doesn't want to be the dean, but if you let you bring your disciples and let them come forward to deal with things, it's always okay, right?" ”

"Take a disciple? The chief soldier wants me, an old man, to continue to be a gentleman in the academy? Hong Chengchou's face was full of confusion.

"Sir, don't misunderstand, this disciple does not want you to be a gentleman, but only one disciple. And the affairs of the academy, you can leave it to him to take care of. Then you won't have to work so hard, and you can just leave things to your disciples. Mao Wenlong released the bait, and now he is just waiting for Hong Chengchou's cunning big fish to take the bait.

Sure enough, Hong Chengchou seems to be a little tempted now, the apprentice teaches too much at once, it is definitely a tiring livelihood. Today's Hong Chengchou is already the head of the extremely popular ministers, and there is no need for him to fight for those.

Seeing that Hong Chengchou was about to shake his head and refuse, Mao Wenlong immediately said: "Actually, the matter is very simple, Mr. only needs to teach the current dean. The rest of the people don't need Mr. to come forward to teach, in this case, the headquarters of the gentleman still refuses, right? ”

Hong Chengchou stared at Mao Wenlong for a long time, after making sure that he was not deceiving himself. Hong Chengchou spoke: "Okay, the old man in the headquarters can do nothing here all day long, and it's no problem to help you do some work." ”

After saying that, Hong Chengchou was indeed not polite, and immediately ordered the old butler who had been standing behind him: "Move everything in, this will be the place where I Hong Chengchou will spend the rest of my life in the future." ”
