Chapter 30: Asking for Thanks

Peng Yue and Qiu Qingge had just approached the school, and the sound of reading came to their ears. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, I saw that the buildings of the school were continuous, and the construction was very grand. The decoration is extremely simple and bookish. The Zhumen is wide, and the couplets on the book are written: the sound of the wind, the sound of the rain, the sound of reading, and the sound of the ear. Family affairs, national affairs, world affairs, everything is concerned.

"Good connection! But I don't know who did it? Qiu Qingge asked with a smile on the side.

"Miss Xie Qingge praised, this is not what you did." Peng Yue scratched his head and said in his heart: "Gu Xiancheng, I'm sorry for you." ”

"Brother Peng is so literate." After Qiu Qingge praised this, before Peng Yue could react, his face turned red first.

"Huh... However, at present, it is also difficult to set up a school. Peng Yue quickly diverted the topic.

"The establishment of this school costs a lot, but the emperor... I didn't want to allocate more money in the treasury, but I just allocated some symbolically, and built some primary schools in the north and south of the city, and the facilities were also..."Peng Yue sighed helplessly, "I can only fund it myself, in order to absorb students, I have to build the school... It's a little more luxurious. At the same time, some well-educated people of lower rank in the DPRK and China were invited to give lectures and pay their salaries. However, the situation is good, and some of the children of officials who are not allowed to enter the National Prison are willing to come to study. And I have always encouraged children from poor families to come to school, so the number of students is increasing. And my school is charged, so it's not like I'm not making ends meet, but I have some funding for many poor children... However, we have recently increased our income from Cao Yun, so we take it from the people and use it for the people. So much money, I'm still willing to pay for it, haha..."

In fact, Peng Yue did pay a lot of effort to the school, he believes that the reason why the society is not progressing, the people's wisdom has not been opened is a very important reason, so he has always been keen to establish the school. Moreover, in addition to teaching the knowledge of the imperial examination, he also taught some Yangming Xinxue, and he hated Zhu Xi's doctrine very much in his heart, and felt that there was a lot of dross in it, so he could only slowly change it in the professors, in order to change their hearts.

And the Ordnance Institute and the Weaving Bureau have been short of manpower recently, and he also hopes to select some researchers from the poor children in the academy. Of course, there is also a little selfishness, he invited some young Hanlin who he knew would have an impact on the political situation of the Ming Dynasty in the future, and let them teach, first, to get close, and secondly, he was really "generous" in terms of salary payment.

"Brother Peng is dedicated to the people, and Qingge admires it." Qiu Qingge really has respect in his heart, "I want the children of poor families to also have this opportunity, and they can also change their family circumstances in the future. ”

"However, the establishment of the school is still in the preliminary stage, and it has not yet been implemented nationwide, so I only hope that it can be greatly promoted in the future." Peng Yue sighed. Peng Yue also knew in his heart that these achievements were indeed nothing now.

"Brother Peng..."Qiu Qingge looked up at Peng Yue, "Last time I suggested to you to find some students in this academy to help you run the Caoyun business, I don't know what the situation is?" ”

"Ahh It's okay..."Peng Yue rolled his sleeves back, "Actually, these people are equivalent to a beginner in business, and they are not good at it, and there are not many people who want to engage in this way, so I am still in a joint venture with some shopkeepers and let them help run it." These shopkeepers are not bad, they are in charge of one thing, each performing their own duties, and they have been making a lot of profits recently. ”

"It seems that I still haven't helped Brother Peng much..."Qiu Qingge sighed and said quietly.

"Say what? You've helped me a lot. Peng Yue said with a smile, "If you hadn't lent me money to do business in the first place, how would you be where you are today?" And you have helped me a lot in Caoyun's business, and the part you are responsible for is also in good condition. ”

Qiu Qingge knew that Peng Yue had the heart to comfort him, and he was also happy in his heart: "Then shouldn't you thank me well?" ”

"Yes, I should thank you well..."Peng Yue said with a smile, "Otherwise, if you come to my house again today, I will cook for you again, okay?" ”

"Forget it..."Qiu Qingge had a "disdainful" expression, "I don't want to eat your dishes anymore..."

"I'm... Isn't the craftsmanship a little rusty? Peng Yue smiled embarrassedly.

"It's obviously unpalatable to cook by yourself, and I still want to make excuses, haha..." Qiu Qingge joked, and returned to his childlike nature.

"Okay, okay, it's my cooking that is unpalatable..."Peng Yue said as he walked into the door of the school, "Then I won't eat with you, I'll go to the school first..."

"Hey... Don't go in yet..."Qiu Qingge pulled Peng Yue's sleeve, and when he saw Peng Yue turn around, he hurriedly let go again.

"People are studying, aren't you disturbing people when you go in like this..."Qiu Qingge defended in a low voice.

"Huh... You're right, then I won't go in..."Peng Yue's foot that stepped into the door was retracted.

"Didn't you just say you wanted to thank me? Why did I say that your food is not delicious, so you don't mention it? Qiu Qingge stretched out his slender fingers and shook them in front of Peng Yue, "When the left servant of the household department, he doesn't believe in a little woman, tsk..."

"Sharp teeth..."Peng Yue couldn't help but smile, "Say, how do you want me to thank you?" ”

"Hmm... I have to think about this..."Qiu Qingge nodded his finger on his head, showing a serious thinking, but his eyes kept glancing back at Peng Yue.

"The flowers are blooming on the hill near the city... Well... The weather is not bad today..."Qiu Qingge grinned at Peng Yue, "Why don't you take me to the back mountain to see the flowers, how about it, Master Peng?" ”

"Since Miss Qingge has spoken, how dare you disobey?" Peng Yue smiled and made a "please" gesture, learning the singing tone he saw from the script, "Xiaosheng is polite..."

Qiu Qingge smiled, put his hands behind his back, and put his toes on the ground little by little, "With Master Peng by your side, you won't be afraid to go anywhere now..."

"You're not afraid of me, but you're afraid..."Peng Yue followed behind with a smile, "The back mountain is remote, I don't know how to do kung fu at all, if you run into a bad guy, then there is nothing to do..."

"It's okay, with me, I'll protect you..." Qiu Qingge stopped, leaned back, and turned his head playfully, "You go faster, if you lose it, there will be no one to protect you..."

"Slow down... I can't keep up..."

After walking for a long time, the speed of the two gradually slowed down.

"I'm so tired..."Qiu Qingge pursed his lips, stopped in place, and snorted at Peng Yue, who was walking in front, "Walk slowly, people can't keep up..."

"What's wrong, Woman?" Peng Yue went around in circles and turned to Qiu Qingge, "I just said that I wanted to protect me, why is it too tiring to walk now?" ”

Looking at Peng Yue's ridicule with a wicked smile, Qiu Qingge felt a strong disbelief in his heart, "Who said I can't walk?" I saw that you were walking and stopping just now, and I thought you were too tired to do it, so I found an excuse for you to save face for you, but you still talked about me, and I didn't bother to pay attention to you..."Qiu Qingge said as he strode forward.

Listening to Qiu Qingge's chatter, Peng Yue couldn't help but smile and shook his head, thinking that this Qiu Qingge was really stubborn and cute.

"Oops..."Qiu Qingge walked in front quickly, but his body was off and he almost fell over.

"Miss Qingge, slow down... Be careful not to fall..."Peng Yue saw Qiu Qingge's walking appearance in the back, and he really couldn't help but feel the urge to go over and help him.

"Who fell?" Qiu Qingge stretched out his arms to stabilize his body, and didn't even turn his head, "It's better for you to go faster, don't slow down behind..."

"There's still a long way ahead, otherwise take a break here..."Peng Yue saw Qiu Qingge walking staggeringly, and hurriedly ran to the front.

"Miss Qingge, I'm tired..."Peng Yue turned to Qiu Qingge and stretched out his hand to stop her there, "Miss Qingge accommodating me, I'm tired, rest here, okay?" ”

"Hehe, I just said that you were tired, but you still don't admit it..."Qiu Qingge said as he cautiously touched his calf and rubbed it gently, "But now this girl just doesn't want to rest..."

"You..." Peng Yue saw Qiu Qingge bend his knees subconsciously, he couldn't help but feel a little helpless, and he didn't know what to say.

"Ahh There's an open area in front of you..."Qiu Qingge pointed ahead, "Let's go there and rest, I think the scenery there is not bad..."

"Well... It's so good..."Peng Yue also suddenly felt that his legs were a little sore at this time, "Thank you for your understanding..."

"Flim tongue, where is there a high-ranking official in the imperial court..."Qiu Qingge smiled sweetly, turned around and walked forward with a shallow foot.

"Who said that high-ranking officials in the imperial court should be serious every day?" Peng Yue chased after him with a smile, "Actually, everyone went down to the court, just like ordinary people." At the beginning, Qian Qianyigui was the leader of the Donglin Party, but he and Liu Ru were jokes in the boudoir, that's..."

"Who did you just say?" Qiu Qingge turned his head and stared at Peng Yue and asked.

"Ahh It's nothing... Let's go quickly, it's going to be there soon..."Peng Yue was perfunctory, his face was a little embarrassed, and he secretly scolded himself in his heart for bringing up the people at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

"But fortunately, it's the people of the late Ming Dynasty, if she knows the relationship between Qian Qianyi and Liu Ruyi, then it's..." Peng Yue's face flushed, and he didn't dare to think about it anymore.

Notes: 1. Qian Qianyi was an important minister in the late Ming Dynasty, an official to the Ministry of Rites, and the leader of the Donglin Party in the late Ming Dynasty (later demoted). Liu Ru was a famous prostitute in Qinhuai at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and later married Qian Qianyi as a concubine (married as a wife). Although the two are thirty-six years apart, their love is abnormal.

Once the two were joking in the boudoir, Liu Ru asked Qian Qianyi what he liked about himself, and Qian Qianyi said: "I like your black hair and white flesh." ”

Qian Qianyi asked Liu Ru what he liked about himself, and Liu Ru replied: "I like your white hair and black flesh." "The love of husband and wife can be seen. (As a single dog, I wrote here, and I felt hurt by 10,000 points)

2. "The sound of the wind and rain, the sound of reading, the sound of the family, the country, the world, everything is concerned" This couplet was inscribed by Gu Xian, a member of the Donglin Party in the late Ming Dynasty, in Donglin Academy.
