Chapter 229: Coaxing the Holy Father
"Tell me, boy, what did you come to me for?"
In the school, Wang Wei was practicing calligraphy and painting, and said to Hu Ye who was standing on the side.
"Can't you come to see Master Wang if you don't have something to do?"
Hu Ye sneered, and took the initiative to come forward to study ink for Wang Wei, dressed like a good student.
Wang Wei glanced at Hu Ye with disdain, then put down the brush, with his understanding of Hu Ye, he definitely had nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, "I don't know what to do with you, kid?" It's coming to the end of the year, if you don't stay at home to buy New Year's goods, will you come to my school to catch up? β
Hu Ye smiled embarrassedly, it seemed that Wang Wei had seen through it.
"Master Wang's eyes are like torches, and when students come, they do have something to ask for." Hu Ye straightened his face and said.
"Don't tell me yet, let me guess." Wang Wei stretched out his hand to stop Hu Ye from continuing, but paced in front of Hu Ye.
"I heard that you want to start a comprehensive community, and you got the emperor's permission, but I didn't expect your kid to have two brushes." Wang Wei put his hands behind his back, took a step and said, "I sent someone to look at it two days ago, and said that your academy was about to be completed. β
"And you're coming to me now, presumably because you have something to do with the academy." Wang Wei suddenly turned around, stared straight at Hu Ye, and asked abruptly, "You kid doesn't want me to be a teacher in your academy, do you?" β
"No, no, you're not that stupid, I'm studying now, how can I go to a private academy to be a teacher? With your head, melon seeds must have thought of it too. Are you trying to get me to hire a teacher? β
"But it's not right, it seems that you have a relationship with my teacher. It's much better than me, and it should be better for you to go and ask for it yourself. β
Guessing this, Wang Wei's eyes suddenly lit up, "You kid don't want me to find you a teacher, right?" β
Hu Ye's face changed, he didn't expect that Wang Wei's guessing ability was really good, and he did come to Wang Wei to introduce him to the teacher.
Originally, Hu Ye also thought about inviting Wang Wei, but Wang Wei is now at the suggestion of Tianfu, if he goes to a certain college to be a teacher privately, wouldn't it be very unfair to other colleges? After all, Wang Wei still has to preside over the next township examination and teach in that college. Isn't it the first to get the moon near the water?
Hu Ye also wanted to go over and invite Kong Ne. But Kong Ne is a lot older, at most it is just a cameo, and it is impossible to give lectures every day.
In this case, there will be no teachers who teach Chinese studies. That's why Hu Ye thought of Wang Wei. After all, this product has been an official in Nanjing for so many years. It's not uncommon to know a few great Confucians.
"Master Wang is really as wise as a torch, and the students are willing to bow down." Hu Ye bowed to Wang Wei, and he had to admire.
"I know a lot of Confucianism. But in the name of your kid, I guess please don't move a few. Wang Wei said with a smile.
"That's why I'm here to invite Master Wang to come out." Hu Ye smiled, "As long as Master Wang comes out, coupled with the influence of Yan Shenggong, I think I can invite a few Confucians who are old at home, right?" And I won't invite them in vain, they will be served with good food and drink, and I can also show them a lot of new things, and I think there will be one or two people who will be tempted. β
"The influence of the teacher?" Wang Wei looked at Hu Ye suspiciously, and then asked, "Do you want to invite the teacher and let the teacher support you on the table?" β
"Yes, Yan Shenggong is very old, and it is definitely impossible to teach every day, but as long as he can show his face, presumably those will still give face." Hu Ye smiled, Yan Shenggong's influence in the literary world is definitely more than the influence of Fang Xiaoru, the first minister of the dynasty.
When Hu Ye first came to Nanjing, he saw Fang Xiaoru dismount to greet Kong Ne.
So as long as Kong Ne comes forward, there will still be many people who will buy it.
As long as there are teachers who enter Qingtian Academy, Hu Ye is naturally sure that they will stay.
In this case, you can really invite two. A jinshi in the same class as me was the second in the second class that year. But two years ago, because of the involvement in the Lan Yu case, he is now at home. He admired the teacher before, and this time he should be able to invite him. Wang Wei thought for a while and said.
"But I have to warn you that he is not a man to be messed with, and he has a fiery temper. If you provoke him, your academy will be in trouble. β
"Don't worry about this master, all the teachers in my academy are wonderful, and I don't care about one more." Hu Ye smiled, as long as that person came, he would be happy.
"Okay, I can help you contact this person, as for whether he agrees or not, I can't say for sure." Wang Wei said.
"Then thank you, Master Wang." Hu Ye bowed, and then said, "The sixteenth day of the first lunar month is the opening ceremony of Qingtian Academy. β
Wang Wei scoffed, and was pleasantly surprised, it would be good if he didn't bother him.
After solving the problem of the Chinese culture teacher, Hu Ye is going to get rid of Kongne, which is the most important thing.
As long as your academy has the trump card of Yan Shenggong in charge, are you afraid that no one will sign up?
"Old money! Walk! β
In addition to mentioning the school, Hu Ye got into the carriage, greeted Lao Qian and walked towards Yan Shenggong's mansion in Nanjing.
The liquor shop in front of the mansion is still there, and it seems that business is doing well.
After getting out of the carriage, Hu Ye glanced at the wine shop, and then said, "Don't get drunk, or you'll fuck me off!" β
Hu Ye didn't turn around, but Old Qian Zhilu said to himself that the young master had been repeating the benefits of this wine shop in front of the young master.
"Young master, don't worry, when did I get drunk." Lao Qian patted his chest and took the carriage to the wine shop.
Hu Ye walked towards the mansion of Yan Shenggong.
Since it was not the first time that Hu Ye had come, the guards in front of the mansion already knew Hu Ye, and they knew that Hu Ye had a good relationship with Yan Shenggong, so they didn't stop him, and directly let Hu Ye enter the mansion.
When Hu Ye saw Kong Ne, he found that Ah Fu was playing chess with him, and he was in the middle of a battle.
It was also at this moment that Hu Ye discovered that Kong Ne and Ah Fu had no distinction between master and servant, and some were only two sides playing chess.
"Heavy artillery! Checkmate! "Kong Ne chess pieces must be," Da Lu said with a smile.
"The old man is strange and profound, Ah Fu is ashamed of himself." Ah Fu smiled ashamedly, then stood up, smiled at Hu Ye, and then walked out.
"Actually, Ah Fu's chess skills are higher than mine, but he always lets me go, so he never wins when he plays chess with me." Kong Ne smiled lightly, beckoned Hu Ye to sit down, and then tidied up the chessboard by himself.
"Yan Sheng Gong ......" Hu Ye was about to speak, but was interrupted by Kong Ne's outstretched hand.
"Boy, don't say anything, accompany me in the next game first, if you win, you can say anything, if you lose, I'm afraid you'll have to come for nothing today." Kong Ne restored the chessboard and said to Hu Ye.
Hu Ye's eyes darkened, chess was something he played when he was a child, but at that time, it was not used to play at all, but to be used as a bullet.
There are sixteen sons on one side, which can be used to stack a fortress and then attack and defend each other.
But if he is on the chessboard, Hu Ye is illiterate, except for remembering the words of the horse and the Japanese character like walking the field, he doesn't remember any other rules and tactics.
"Yan Shenggong, I don't know chess, can I admit defeat?" Hu Ye whispered.
"If you admit defeat, today's trip will be in vain, and you won't have to discuss anything with me." Kong Ne said lightly.
Hu Ye was anxious, today he was going to find Kong Ne to support his Qingtian Academy, if Kong Ne didn't go, Qingtian Academy would be reduced a lot.
"Don't introduce Yan Shenggong, aren't you deliberately embarrassing me? First of all, I don't eat as much salt as you eat, so I lack a lot of experience. Secondly, I don't know chess at all, so how can I compare to a master like you? Isn't this a soldier to be compared to a general? Compared to your old man, there are a lot of adults, so you won't be embarrassed boy, right? Hu Ye said with a smile.
"Hmph, just your kid's sharp teeth, tell me, what's the matter." Conne seemed very upset and put away the chessboard.
"Compared to Yan Shenggong, I also know that I have built a Qingtian Academy on Qingtian Street, and the opening ceremony will be held on the sixteenth day of the first month next year, I just want Yan Shenggong to be able to attend that day, and there are no other requirements." Hu Ye said with a smile, as long as Kong Ne was deceived that day, it would be easy to talk about what would happen in the future.
"Not available! Even if Guozijian comes to invite me, the old man doesn't want to go, what kind of Qingtian Academy are you, why do I want to go. β
Kong Ne stood up and rejected Hu Ye's request in one bite.
"That...... I really want to see something in the Analects. Hu Ye smiled deeply, and he knew that it was not so easy to invite Kong Ne, this was a person who could not even give the emperor face, and it was strange if it was easy to move.
But Hu Ye is not afraid, he knows that what Kong Ne cares about most is the secret in the Analects. Although Hu Ye didn't know why Kong Ne wanted to hand over the Analects to himself for study, he didn't know what secrets there were in Lu Dao.
But he knew that Kong Ne would definitely help himself for the sake of the secret inside.
Sure enough, as soon as Kong Ne heard that Hu Ye had made a discovery, his eyes suddenly lit up, he turned around and sat down, and then asked Hu Ye loudly, "Boy, what did you find?" β
Hu Ye smiled knowingly, at this time, Kong Ne was like a profiteer, and it was time for him to bargain with him, "Yan Shenggong, the Analects was carved by Master Yan himself, and the font is difficult to read, but it took me a lot of effort to recognize all the words in it." β
"Okay, don't talk nonsense, aren't you just going to support your faΓ§ade, just go, if you don't tell me a little useful news when the time comes, be careful that I tear down your platform!" Kong Ne looked at Hu Ye like a profiteer, and glared at him viciously.
Hu Ye smiled, sure enough, it was still effective, although he didn't see any clues now, but it didn't prevent him from coaxing Kong Ne.
"Ha Luha, then it's decided, at the opening ceremony on the sixteenth day of the first month, the kid will definitely give Yan Shenggong a satisfactory answer." Hu Ye arched his hand towards Kong Ne as he spoke, and then exited Kong Ne's mansion.
Today's task is completed, just wait for Wang Wei to find that person, and then wait for Lou Ying and Xiao Jiuxian to come to Nanjing, and then Qingtian Academy can be opened. (To be continued......)
