Chapter 119: International Students
"The man said that Ah Jue and the third lady were at his place, and asked me to pick them up, but I could only go alone."
Wei Zhan's face distorted for a moment, and then he folded the letter and stuffed it into his sleeve.
Originally, Wei Jin wanted to take the letter and read it for himself, but they ignored it...... Just put the letter away in front of her!
After Wei Zan put away the letter, he didn't look at the two of them much, and went back to the room directly.
"What's going on?"
Wei Jin asked Young Master He dumbfounded.
"Who knows. Isn't it, the two are old acquaintances? ”
If it's an old acquaintance, the other party hasn't sent it back until now, and he doesn't care if it will stain the little girl's name, I'm afraid it's an old enemy, right?
"No, it could be an old love. Person! Wei Jin snapped her fingers, "If the other party is a woman, it will not damage the reputation of the two younger sisters, and you can also use this to blackmail Brother Azan." ”
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that it was possible, so Wei Jin turned his head to look at Lanxiang.
"Lan Xiang, did your son Chan fall in love with a girl in the past and couldn't do anything?"
Lan Xiang looked at her blankly, frowned and thought about it for a long time, and shook her head: "No." Although Mr. Zan is a fast son-in-law in the eyes of the ladies of all families in the northland, he really hasn't talked to any girl. He doesn't seem to be close to women all along? ”
Hehe, not close to women!
Wei Jin rolled her eyes and didn't care. She turned to Young Master He and said that she had to continue to go to the academy, and the family would ask him to watch more.
"Brother Ah Zan is sometimes very jumpy, you don't know what he will do in the next moment, so the manpower transfer at home and the like, you have to ask Brother He to bother more, if there is anything you need me to do, please remember to send me a letter."
Young Master He responded, and his face was also a little helpless and anxious.
"Brother He, don't be anxious, although Brother Azan looks uninhibited, he is still measured and doesn't tell us, either he can't, or it's inconvenient, but he won't take the safety of his two younger sisters at risk."
On the same day, Wei Jin took Yanwen back to the academy again, and when he entered his small courtyard, he did not hide his uneasiness.
"What's wrong?" Senior Guo, who was sitting under the tree reading a book, looked up and was about to greet her, when he saw this junior brother walking towards his room with a sad face, as if he was a little distracted.
"Oh, Senior Guo." Wei Jin was stunned for a moment, as if he had just seen him, and hurriedly saluted, "I didn't see my little sister when I went back this time, so I'm a little worried." ”
"What's wrong with your little sister?"
"Brother said she was sick, but I was sick before I came, and it's been half a month, and I'm not getting better." She sat down opposite Senior Guo with a sad brow, "I want to go and see, but the clan brother said that she didn't go through the wind, and said that he was afraid that it would be bad for me to get sick." ”
"True brother, don't worry too much, if Sister Ling is not in good health, your brother will definitely hire a famous doctor for her."
Senior Guo comforted her dryly, seeing that she still had a sad face, and she didn't know how to speak.
At this moment, their roommate, the rich second generation, rushed in.
"Let me tell you something, the Nanyang sailors have arrived at the Dongxiang Wharf outside our Zhangzhou City."
"We have a sailor?"
"What do you want?" The chubby guy glared at Senior Guo, "It's the sailor over there in the Nanyang Islands, and he said that he was here." ”
He poured himself a cup of cold tea and wiped his mouth: "It's a pity that I'm in a hurry to come to school, and I didn't have time to ask who I was here to pick up." ”
Wei Jin was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously thought of the letter. She almost couldn't hold back and ran home.
"When I came, Miss Huang and her cousin had already passed. I heard that there was a sailor from Sura in that Nanyang sailor. ”
Wei Jin tilted his head slightly, and gave Yanwen a look, and the latter bowed down and quietly retreated unnoticed.
"Well, don't talk about that. Tomorrow is the school exam, are you sure? ”
The school exam is different from the annual year-end academic assessment, it is only a phased exam, and it is not strict, and it does not even require all staff to answer. The lecturer will take a random test for a student at any time, and may also assign a question for the students to answer collectively.
Although the difficulty of the small examination is not high, it must also be treated carefully, after all, if you fail the small examination more than three times a year, your name will be posted on the wall of each hospital, which is embarrassing!
Students like Wei Jin, who entered the school halfway, usually do not participate in the first small exam, but you should also be cautious, in case you meet a master and a teacher to draw the exam, you can pass the test smoothly, and it will be more face-saving to pass it.
Although the academy is relatively simple, it is also a large and complex place. If it is a person, there will be comparisons, open and secret battles, but readers want to save face, and generally will not directly pull off their heads, but will only make sarcastic words, compose poems and satirical behaviors, which seem to be elegant and have the same actual connotation.
Yanwen went for a long time and didn't come back until before dark.
"Third Miss, I asked Lanxiang to inquire, Miss Huang did go to Dongxiang Wharf, and when I returned to the academy, I didn't see them go back to the city."
"Okay, you let people look at it, especially where Brother Azan goes. Also, the senior on this side of the academy can't relax there. That Senior Gan appeared too suddenly. ”
In ancient times, unlike in modern times, it is impossible to determine the identity of the other party with a road guide and a portrait with only four or five images. Otherwise, those thieves in the script impersonated the county order to take office, and there would be no existence.
She believes that she is not the only one who has doubts about the origin of this senior Gan, but the other party is very calm, he has lived in the academy for five or six years, and he does not have much contact with people on weekdays, and the whole nerd character design, such a person, either the city is very deep, or he is really desireless.
She hadn't seen each other, and she didn't dare to assert what kind of person the other party was from the discussions of others.
In the evening, Yanwen went to the kitchen to get today's meal and came back, and he didn't want to come with him, but there were actually two seniors from the First Academy.
"I didn't know that the junior brother was Mr. Wei's clan brother before, so it was rude."
When one person came up first, he apologized, and bowed heavily, which scared Wei Jin so much that he jumped to the side, and he couldn't hide.
The man next to him sneered and pulled his classmate with exaggerated behavior.
"Han Yuan, you scared the junior brother." He took a step forward and arched his hand, "The two of us are students of the First Academy, and we have never gone out before, and I don't know that the junior brother is of the same clan as Mr. Wei. I took the liberty to come here today, just to ask, will Mr. Wei come to the college to teach? ”
"Huh? I haven't heard of my brother say it. Wei Jin raised a touch of worry at the right time, "The clan brother also said before that he might come to exchange knowledge with the masters of the academy, but my little sister was sick a few days ago and has not recovered yet, and I am afraid that the clan brother is lacking in skills." ”
"Is that so?" Hearing that there is something going on at home, it is impossible for the two students not to show concern.
After saying a few words, the two left together, and before leaving, they asked Wei Jin to go to the first courtyard to find them if he had any questions.
After they left, Senior Guo came over with great envy and looked at Wei Jin with a faint gaze.
Wei Jin raised his hand to support his forehead and smiled bitterly: "Okay, I understand, if you go to the First Courtyard, you must call Brother Guo with you." ”
Hearing this, Senior Guo smiled and changed a cup of hot tea for Wei Jin.
"Snobbery, extreme snobbery!" The rich second generation was a little sour, "We can't wait to go to the first courtyard, we don't even have a cup of hot tea, and the people's hearts are not ancient." ”
Wei Jin was amused by his good singing and songwriting.
Seeing Wei Jin's smile, the two secretly exchanged a look, inexplicably relieved.
"Brother Zhen, let's go rest first, and after tomorrow's exam, it's better for my brother to ask you where the doctor in the city is to see the female guest." Don't worry, Sister Ling will be fine. ”
Feeling the heartfelt concern of the two classmates, Wei Jin rubbed his face and thanked them.
Kindness is also deception, and she plans to find an opportunity to compensate them well in the future.
As soon as I entered the school the next day, I heard piles of whispers from my classmates.
Senior Guo arrived early, saw Wei Jin come in, and beckoned to her.
"I heard that the little grandfather will come to the academy today to listen to the class, and also, with him, I heard that there is also the commander of the Nanyang Naval Division."
"What is the commander of the Nanyang Naval Division doing here?"
"I heard that it was my aunt's nephew's brother-in-law's brother who said that the Nanyang sailors were escorting several princes and nobles from the Nanyang side to study here."
The well-informed whispered: "The island countries on the other side of the South Seas want to restore diplomatic relations with the Central Plains, and I heard that this time, in addition to escorting the prince and noble daughter, they also plan to establish mutual markets with Zhangzhou and Taizhou in Guangzhou. The maritime merchant Huang family had been shouldering the heavy responsibility of trading with them before, and now it is estimated that the Huang family is in a hurry. ”
The profits of maritime trade are extremely considerable, and although the Huang family is not publicized, no one knows how much wealth the Huang family has accumulated. It's not that there is nothing red-eyed, but going to sea is not as good as being on land, even if you are as arrogant as the Duan family, you don't dare to go to the sea to tease the tiger beard of the Huang family.
This morning, people's hearts are fluctuating, and even the speakers are powerless, what is the small test, compared to the prince and noble daughter from Nanyang, there is no next time if you fail once!
By noon, there were more people in the dining hall than expected, and even the seniors of A and B appeared.
It was the first time for Wei Jin to see the seniors of the two academies appear so neatly.
Just when she and a few classmates entered the door, she passed by a few people in the first courtyard, and the two seniors who came to visit the night before greeted her with a smile. Wei Jin hurriedly returned the salute and saluted the other seniors obediently.
"Who is this? It seems to be quite young. In Ding Yuan, are you here for a study tour? ”
"He is the son of the Wei family, and he came to Zhangzhou City with Wei Zhan's son, and when he heard that our academy was very good, he invited himself to study."
"The son of Wei Zhan of the Wei family? If he didn't go to study with Mr. Wei, what did he do at the academy? ”
"Don't underestimate people." One of the students who looked honest and honest lowered his head and whispered, "I've inquired about this, my brain is really useful, and I'm good at the study of workers and peasants, I heard that his memory is very good, and many books are memorized, but because he was young and didn't know the interpretation, his family asked him to come out and walk around more and see the teaching of other academies." ”
"Where did you ask?" Someone squinted at him.
"Harm, it doesn't matter where I inquire, do you know that this newcomer is Mr. Jiang's entrance examination, and his assessment results are superior, if he is not only willing to study, Mr. Jiang would have the idea of accepting apprentices."
Don't look at Mr. Jiang only teaching four books, that is, he only likes this, when it comes to poetry and songs, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, Mr. Jiang is all proficient, and he can be his student, that is because he has burned high incense at home.
"Alas, it's also from the Wei family that I don't take it seriously."
sighed at the importance of their background, although several students in Academy A did not show it on their faces, their hearts were also slightly pantothenic.
Not long after he sat down, a group of people came from outside the dining hall, starting with the gentleman in the academy, the imam in charge of internal affairs. Behind him was the still thin little grandfather. However, unlike the pitiful expression when facing Wei Jin, the little grandfather's eyebrows and eyes at this time were cold, and his momentum was wide, and even the patriarch felt a little restrained in front of him.
In the future, there were several young students who were obviously not as good as the Central Plains, and three or four of them, dressed in bright sarongs and jewelry made of pearl agate, looked at the students in the canteen without shyness.
"Don't look at indecency, don't look at indecency." Several people lowered their heads with muttering in their mouths, and their cheeks, ears, and necks were red.
Wei Jin looked out curiously, but as soon as he raised his head, he met the little grandfather.
She blinked her eyes and smiled innocently. The little grandfather's eyes flashed, the corners of his mouth seemed to move, and before anyone could see clearly, he had already turned around and went to the inner hall.
"Those are the princes and nobles from Nanyang? How a little ......"
The word shameless swirled on the tip of his tongue, but he still didn't spit it out.
In a place where no one noticed, Senior Gan of the First Courtyard kept his head down, hiding most of his face with his hair, until those people entered the inner hall, he quickly swept around the people in the dining hall.
"I heard that the little grandfather didn't let those people go to Fuxue, saying that the things taught by Fuxue were not suitable for them. It seems that those nobles are going to come to our academy. ”
"Well, I just don't know which hospital they go to or where they live. If you're in the same place with us, you're afraid it's going to be a bad day. ”
It's not that I'm afraid of the other party, but after all, the person who comes is a guest, and the person is still a distinguished guest, if one doesn't speak thoughtfully, he offends the other party...... Baldness!
"Maybe it's going to Ding Yuan, Ding Yuan is a place for study tours."
"It's uncertain, people are not study tours, people are here to study. I see, it's more likely to be admitted to the C or B hospitals. ”
"Why not Koin? There are few people and many masters in the first courtyard, isn't it just suitable for receiving distinguished guests? ”
Good guy, the master hasn't been arranged yet, and the students below are about to fight among themselves, so I'm afraid that these hot carbon circles will be stuffed into their own courtyard.
Several people in the Ding Courtyard looked at each other, and even a few of them had already begun to consider whether to study in a different place.
In the afternoon, after the piano skills class, the master took the two teenagers into the Ding Courtyard.
"The two of them will study with you in the future, and on weekdays, you will take more care of each other."
Wei Jin and Senior Guo glanced at each other, and a not-so-good idea popped up.
Sure enough, the next moment, Jiao Lang called Senior Guo's name, saying that the two of them arranged to stay in the two spare rooms in his small courtyard, so that he, the eldest, would take care of him a little more.
Senior Guo was bitter, but he had to answer the task.
