After Xiaobai's glass conservatory was built, it really attracted a lot of people, but there were no students expected by Ma Du, they were all businessmen who were full of copper smell like him, some sought to buy, some sought cooperation, and one by one they were all generous gifts.

Although Madu refused their request, he did not offend them all, and everyone sent them a glass of wine and sent them away. originally thought that the matter would be over, but who knew that things would become more and more troublesome later.

One of Mado's own family members once said that if there is a 50 percent profit, the merchant will take a risk for it, and if there is a 300 percent profit, the merchant will dare to trample on morality and law, and even go to the guillotine.

The merchant is such a pure person, in order to make a profit, he can do anything, so there are many thieves in the academy, all of whom go to Xiaobai's greenhouse.

Thanks to Lao Zhu, there were two or three hundred guards here, these people were not vegetarians and caught a lot of thieves, and of course they also took a lot of reward money from Ma Du's hands. These thieves are not dead soldiers, and they will do everything with a punch and a kick.

Except for a few lone thieves who want to get rich, most of them are instructed by others, not only businessmen and even Lao Zhu's subordinates, Ma Du directly handed over the thief road to the Jiangning County Ya, and asked Li Shanchang to ask by the way, who called the glass workshop has his shares.

Since then, there has been no trace of the thief, and the officials of Jiangning County still come over to patrol from time to time. It's only been a few days since it was cleaned, but I didn't expect that there would be a short-sighted person who came to touch the moldy head of the Marquis of Ma.

"There is a precedent in the past, and this kind of thing still comes to me."

"Master Hou, this time is different from the previous one, this person said that he was a scholar, and when he saw the glass conservatory, he just felt curious and came to have a look."

"I'll take a look, don't be fooled by the thief." Ma Du handed over the child to Song Shuang and went to the academy with Zhang Wuliu.

The academy was on holiday, and the guards who were responsible for protecting Zhu Xiaoer and Zhu Xiaosan all returned to the palace, leaving only twenty or thirty, and Ma Du invited his own tenants to gather fifty or sixty people to patrol around the academy. Speaking of which, it's all to blame Zhu Sheng, what are you doing when the gate is demolished, it is difficult to do the safety work of the academy.

More than a dozen people gathered in front of the greenhouse, and the guards who took the lead shouted when they saw Ma Du: "Ma Hou, we caught two more thieves today, and the reward is not less." ”

Hearing this brainless guard call him so, Ma Du didn't bother to pay attention to him in his heart, and when he pushed aside the crowd, he saw two people tied up with flowers, but where were the hairy thieves obviously two hairy children.

One was a young scholar dressed as fifteen or sixteen, and the other was a little scholar at the age of eleven or twelve.

Madu looked back at the guard, "You guy wants to be a reward, you want to be crazy, you also say that such a person is a thief." ”

"Knowing people and knowing faces but not hearts, even if you are a thief, you won't write it on your face, Mahou is not going to be deceived." The guard said hard, but his face was full of weakness.

"I'm afraid you won't recognize it when it is written on your face!"

Only then did the young scholar say, "Do you dare to ask Your Excellency, but is it the Marquis of Jiang Ning?" ”

Listening to this child's speech, Ma Du liked it in his heart, how smart a scholar is, and knows what to say and what not to say. "Exactly, do you recognize Benhou? Five or six ropes were untied. ”

The young man said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "When I was in Lishui, I heard about Hou Ye's two wonderful poems, which made Hou Sheng's masterpiece amazing, and Hou Ye's name was like thunder. ”

Unexpectedly, his reputation had spread to Lishui, and Ma Du was overjoyed, "You didn't want to stay at home for the New Year, so you made a special trip to visit Benhou?" ”

"I was born later to visit relatives in Yingtian, but it was just through Jiangning. On the official road, I saw this house shining and strange shape from a distance, so I came over to take a look, I really didn't expect to break into the forbidden place of Hou Ye, and asked Hou Ye to forgive me. ”

This kid is really sincere, saying that he will die if he came to visit me, Ma Du waved his hand and said: "It's okay, as long as it's not the one who steals the glass, it's fine, hurry up and hurry, it's still far from the city." ”

"Thank you, Master Hou!" The young scholar bowed, turned around and wanted to leave, and suddenly turned around, "I heard that Mr. Feng Lin is the head of the academy opened by Hou Ye, and the late student has read Mr. Feng Lin's "Mozhuang Rate Record" written in his early years, if you don't understand something, can you ask him for advice in person." ”

Ma Du said casually: "Now that the academy is on holiday, Mr. Zhu has returned to the city, so don't disturb his old man for the New Year." When the academy opens, let alone ask for advice in person, you can come to the academy to listen to his classes every day. ”

The young scholar was excited, "You mean that the late students can come to your academy to take classes?" ”

"Yes, why not, unless you don't have time."

"There is time! There is time! It's just that after being a late student, you can also come to the academy to take classes after you have made a meritorious service? ”

Ma Du frowned and said, "Who said that you must come to me to study here as a meritorious child?" As long as you are dedicated to learning, you will not refuse. ”

"That's what my classmates in the private school say, and my cousin who was born in Yingtian also says the same, isn't it?"

Ma Du stomped his feet hatefully, and finally understood why no one came to the academy to sign up for education. Just as the people of the Huaixi Gang misunderstood that Ma Du was only willing to teach his tenants, those outside also thought that the academy was only opened for meritorious children.

It's no wonder that outsiders misunderstood, it's nothing to eat and live in the academy, but it's not only the Confucians but also the famous ministers who teach, not to mention that ordinary people don't dare to think about it even if they are gentry.

Zhu Sheng, Zhu Sheng, you are the mountain chief in vain, what kind of bullshit smashes open the door to welcome students, it is not as good as an enrollment brochure. Even the enrollment brochure that Tsinghua University and Peking University have to issue, Ma Du has never sent it, and there are not many elites in the academy now, and there are a lot of bastards.

Ma Du pointed at the young man and said, "You are now a student of the academy." Remember, on the tenth day of the first month, you are not allowed to sign up for the academy, and you are not allowed to bring a small house. By the way, what's your name. ”

"Great!" The young man, who had always been very polite, actually shouted out in a loud voice, and hurriedly gave Ma Du a deep salute, "Thank you, sir, the student's name is Zide!" ”

"Zide, Benhou remembers you!" Ma Du responded, and hurriedly rushed home, of course, he was in such a hurry to write the enrollment brochure, and it was only a few days since he left school. Of course, the first enrollment brochure of the academy should be more brilliant, he thought that his writing was not enough, so he only listed the content to be expressed one by one, and then found Luo Furen and asked him to write it.

Luo Furen took the paper handed by Ma Du, read it but was silent for a long time, and suddenly looked at Ma Du deeply, "Ma Hou is open-minded and admires Luo!" ”

Ma Du was not annoyed, because he saw full of respect in Luo Furen's eyes, "Mr. Luo, you don't always think that my academy is for meritorious children or the Huaixi Gang, right?" ”

Seeing Luo Furen nodding Ma Du didn't know what to say, even the gentlemen of the academy thought so, so it was no wonder that outsiders also saw it this way.

Ma Du's heart suddenly chuckled, Lao Zhu wouldn't think the same way, right?
