Chapter 225: Schadenfreude
"Master, don't blame Yuan'er, for so many years, it has always been our Zhou family's students who go to the exam, and Yuan'er didn't expect that there would be other people in our town this year. ”
Mrs. Zhou felt sorry for her son, and when she saw him kneeling for so long, she hurriedly came to speak and plead for her son.
"Yes, Dad, there has always been only one of us in the town who has opened a private school, and now someone dares to secretly open another private school behind our back, it is simply not in the eyes of our Zhou family, and they don't take you as a lifter in their eyes!"
Zhou Yuan pushed all the sins to Li Yuanan's side, hoping that he could suffer a little less.
His words made Zhou Heng feel a little reasonable, he had been running a private school in the city for so many years, and how many people begged him and squeezed him to squeeze into their Zhou family to go to school.
If there is another choice in the city now, then there will be fewer and fewer students of their Zhou family in the future, and without those who give them silver, the life of their Zhou Mansion will be more and more difficult.
"Someone!" Zhou Heng turned around and shouted outside the door.
"Sir!"
"Go, find out what Li Yuanan is about, and you must find out his identity and background for me!"
"Yes!" the little servant of the Zhou Mansion went out to investigate.
"Dad, then I'm ......" Zhou Yuan wanted to get up, he finally made an appointment with the flower girl of the Spring Return Building tonight, but he couldn't just let it go.
"What are you, kneel down honestly for me!" Zhou Heng is still angry, he hasn't taught a talent for four years, so why don't he get angry!
"I'm going to Lord Xu's mansion, before I come back, you can kneel here for me to reflect on!"
After speaking, Zhou Heng turned around and went out.
As soon as Zhou Heng went out, Zhou Yuan was liberated, he came out of the ancestral hall and went directly to his group of fox friends and dogs, and several people went straight to the Chungui Building, as if this had never happened if they had not won the township test.
Hsu Mansion.
Zhou Heng took the little servant and came to Xu Weimin's mansion with things, Xu Weimin was waiting for dinner at the moment, at this time, if it was someone else, he would not see it, but the person who came was Zhou Heng, so he had to see it.
After all, how many talents and how many people they can produce in Shimen Town in the future will depend on their Zhou Mansion, so even if he is an official, he must let him score three points.
"Zhou has seen Lord Xu!" Zhou Heng entered the front hall of Xu's mansion, and only Xu Weimin and a few subordinates were in the front hall.
"Mr. Zhou is polite!" Xu Weimin sat still, stretched out his hand and pointed to a position to signal him to sit down, "Show Mr. Zhou tea!"
"Lord Xu, this is a little bit of Zhou's heart, please don't dislike Lord Xu", after Zhou Heng sat down, he asked the little girl to bring things up.
"Mr. Zhou is in such a hurry to find this official, why is it that he is in such a hurry?" Xu Weimin asked someone to accept the things and asked directly.
"This ......" Zhou Heng hesitated for a moment before continuing, "Dare to ask my lord, how did my students of Zhou fail in this year's township examination?"
In order to cover his reputation before, Zhou Heng more or less sent something to Xu Weimin, just to put some water on his students during the township exam.
But in recent years, the students who participated in the township examination in the city have gradually become the only one in their Zhou Mansion, and Zhou Heng feels that no one competes with him anymore, so the gifts sent to the Xu Mansion in recent years have become more and more perfunctory.
He came today to ask why, although he had already guessed what it was for, he still wanted to ask clearly, to find out if it was that Li Yuanan gave him a heavier gift, or was that Li Yuanan's real strength?
"Huh?" Xu Weimin was stunned for a moment, "Isn't Li Yuanan, who is a talent in this year's middle school, a student of Mr. Zhou?"
He always thought that the people who participated in the township examination this year were all students of Zhou Heng as in previous years, so when he judged the questions this year, he didn't bother to look at the names on the answer sheets.
"Zhou is ashamed!" Zhou Heng shook his head with regret.
"So, this Li Yuanan is someone else's student, and he is the first in one fell swoop?" I don't know why, there was some schadenfreude in Xu Weimin's tone.
In the past few years, the Zhou family has been dominant, and Zhou Heng has gradually stopped taking his county order in his eyes, making him dare to be angry and dare not speak, and now someone finally stands up to make Zhou Heng deflated, and he is still a little happy.
"Yes, so Zhou didn't come to ask my lord, who is this Li Yuanan?"
"This official doesn't know, the official has always thought that this Li Yuanan is a student of Mr. Zhou!" Xu Weimin's attitude towards him plummeted, and he had already begun to be perfunctory.
"Then can Lord Xu ......" Zhou Heng still wanted to discuss something with Xu Weimin, to see if he could spend money to make up for his son's talent, or operate in the dark, make a wrong test paper or something, and save the face of their Zhou Mansion.
But before he finished speaking, the subordinates of the Xu Mansion came to call Xu Weimin to have dinner.
"Mr. Zhou, this official still has official business to do, so I won't entertain Mr. Zhou", Xu Weimin stood up, dropped a sentence and went to dinner, leaving Zhou Heng in the front hall to dry.
"Hmph!" Zhou Heng saw Xu Weimin leaving, his face suddenly became gloomy, he waved his sleeves, and went out with his hands behind his back.
When Zhou Heng returned to the house, his unruly son was no longer at home, which made him scold him again, arresting whoever scolded him, even his wife did not let go.
"What are you doing in a daze, why don't you go and get the young master back for me!"
They have already been released, no one in their Zhou Mansion is in the first place, and they dare to go out and show their faces, it is really a shame for his Zhou Mansion, if they are not arrested, they may not be known in Ming'er City!
Compared with the thunderous thunder in the city, Wangjia Village is now much more harmonious.
Although Li Yuanan is not surnamed Wang, and he is not a real person from Wangjia Village, but when the people from the Yamen shouted "Wangjia Village has a talented man", their Wangjia Village also has a lot of face.
"Cheng girl, yes, yes! You have taught a great talent!"
"Thank you, but this is all Xiao An's own hard work, I didn't do anything", Cheng Yangyang saw that they attributed half of the credit to her, and she couldn't stand it.
"Why didn't you do anything, you opened a school and invited Mr., otherwise Xiao An would be a talent!" The villagers didn't know what happened to Li Yuanan before, thinking that he was a country boy.
So half of the credit for all this is Cheng Yangyang.
"No, no, it's still Xiao An's own credit, Mr. Shen, and Mr. Yi's contributions, and it has nothing to do with me. ”
She tried her best to push the credit to the two gentlemen, this matter really has nothing to do with her, she doesn't understand the topics and content of the scientific examination, she doesn't know Li Yuanan going to the exam, what does this have to do with her!
"Yes, yes, the two gentlemen are also well-taught", Village Chief Wang is also very grateful to Shen Qiu and Yi An, and also let his grandson study hard, "Yunsheng, follow Mr. to study hard in the future, and also give us a show in the family before coming back!"
