229 grass people don't dare
Qiyang Academy has begun to accept apprentices, in order to avoid the situation of getting something for nothing, and students do not cherish the situation of enrollment, the school rules were posted at the entrance of the college a few days earlier.
Before entering the academy, you must first pass a test.
This part of the work is all done by Cen You, as a carpenter, he is rarely given a heavy responsibility, from the beginning of the school to the present, has been in a state of high spirits, only feel a sense of achievement, not tired at all.
Li Tong happened to take a look at the college test, the door was crowded, this autumn hard one by one squeezed out of the sweat, all of them were looking forward to their children to enter the academy parents, some couldn't squeeze in, simply sat down against the wall, and some even took out dry food from their arms.
"Tsk, it's lively, it's like a vegetable market."
Li Tong watched on tiptoe for a while, then pulled Youchun to the back door.
A group of children of all ages were writing test papers in the classroom, Cen You was holding a whip, quite a gentleman's appearance, his face was solemn, his eyelids were slightly drooping, and his steps were steady, Li Tong did not doubt the former carpenter's hands-on ability.
"Madam, do you want to call Mr. Cen out?" Youchun asked in a low voice.
Li Tong raised his hand: "No, let's take a look first." β
Qiyang Academy accepts all the children of poor families, some of whom don't even know how to write, and they can't even recognize all the words, and these children are put in other classrooms, where there is a special Mr. for a question and answer test.
"It's good to teach." Li Tong praised softly.
The examination room here is disciplined and the progress is smooth, but something went wrong over there, and there was a noise at the gate, although it was far away from the classroom, but I don't know if there were too many people at the door, and the sound was faintly sent by the wind.
"Check it out."
Li Tong immediately lifted his skirt and walked over.
The thing is very simple, a child is late, after the last time to enter the academy, the parents pull the clothes guarding the door and do not let go, the voice is loud and a little sharp, Li Tongren has not approached, he feels a pain in his ears.
"Speak well, don't spill, let go!" Li Tong frowned and shouted.
Xu is because Li Tong is dressed like the wife of a big family, and she came out of the academy, the woman's eyes lit up, as if she saw some life-saving straw, she threw herself in front of Li Tong's feet, and hugged Li Tong's legs with her rough palms.
Li Tong was stunned, but these women who did farm work sometimes had more strength than men, she took a step back, stunned that she couldn't save her leg from the other party's hands.
"You let go!"
"Madam, you're okay, there's just one child in our family, let him in, we're just a little late!" The woman wept and cried, but she did not let go.
Li Tong frowned and was a little irritable, and said impatiently at the few gatekeepers on the side: "Why don't you hurry up?" β
After that, she turned her head to look at the child who was already panicking and didn't know what to do, he was small, and his clothes were still patched, and he could see that his family was not so wealthy.
"Why are you late?"
The woman wiped her tears, knelt in front of Li Tong and sobbed: "I was busy on the ground the day before, and I accidentally flashed my waist, and I couldn't get up in the morning. β
Li Tong turned his head and asked in a low voice, "What is the last time to enter the school?" β
"Madame Hui, it's three o'clock."
Li Tongxin said, this weather is indeed a bit difficult to beat at five o'clock, Cen You is too stuck at this time, and there are still many estimates who are late for not catching up with the time, but not everyone can dare to make a fuss like this woman, maybe they will go back with a sigh.
"Go back, leave the child to me." Li Tong pondered for a moment, and let Youchun pull the child to his side.
"Madame......" The woman was stunned, still a little incredulous.
Originally, I just held the possibility of giving it a try, but in fact, there was no hope that her child could go in, after all, there was no shortage of students in this academy.
Now that her hope has come true, she can't believe it.
However, Li Tong didn't plan to use his own money to pay their tuition, and said, "Remember to hand over the tuition to my maid, and Mrs. Ben will go in first." In addition, if you were late due to uncontrollable factors, you will have another chance to make amends, and you will take the test at the academy before three o'clock tomorrow. β
With that, Li Tong turned around and entered the academy.
She still has to talk to Cen You about this, where did he set the last enrollment time so early, is he planning to card the number of students?
What the hell?!
There was a commotion outside, and someone inside had already passed the news in, Cen You asked another person to temporarily invigilate the exam for him, and he walked out, and he saw Li Tong coming over with an unkind face, and immediately quickly thought about whether he had failed to do something.
"Husband ......"
"Husband, come here." Li Tong interrupted him.
Cen You stiffened his face and didn't dare to speak, and followed Li Tong to a quieter place, at this time it was still test time, and no one in the academy was walking at all, naturally, no one could hear their conversation.
"Why is the last time stuck so early?" Li Tong stood still, turned his head and asked.
"Back to Mrs., the courtiers all started working at the end of the day, and the grass people delayed it for three minutes."
"What's the use of those three moments? And the ones outside the city! Li Tong cleared his throat: "The child got up so early, and his head is not clear, so you let them take the test." Not to mention the children, most of the people's families are still farming, one by one is so tired on weekdays, and you have to go into the city so early to send the children to the academy, you are stuck so early, some live far away, doomed to be late, it is a college for them, but you push them out one by one, what kind of heart do you have? β
"The grass people don't dare!" Cen lobbied and knelt down.
Li Tong didn't help him, just looked down at the top of his head, and said, "I asked them to send a notice, so that if they can't take the test today, they will come back before three o'clock tomorrow, and if they are still late tomorrow, they won't accept it." β
"The grass people know."
"Stop messing me up!"
Cen You didn't dare to speak with a white face, his eyes were staring at the pair of delicately embroidered shoes in front of him, and it wasn't until he raised his feet and left that he got up from the ground tremblingly.
After a while, a man came out of the shadows.
Cen Youleng paused for a moment and saluted, "Master Cui." β
The person who came was Cui Shouzhi.
He didn't know when someone was staring at him, there were people from Baili Ye, people from the palace, maybe there were people from the Prime Minister's Mansion, in fact, Cui Shouzhi didn't know when he became a fragrant dumpling.
But it is also clear that among these people, some people want to protect him, and some people want to kill him.
He didn't think that Baili Ye wouldn't move him, but it wasn't time, and it was because of Bai Li Ye's actions that the palace would pay attention to him.
It's not a bad thing, but it's not a good thing either.
Cui Shouzhi has always been low-key, and it was the first time that he was roasted on the stove by someone, and everyone was watching, he could only sneak in if he wanted to do something, and even when he said something in his mansion, he had to see if there were any eyes around him who were staring at his ears and listening.
Truly I will suffer this day.
Fortunately, Cen You is his person.
When he learned that Li Tong was going to build a academy, Cui Shouzhi asked Cen You to go to Li Tong for a while, and sure enough, Cen You was arranged, and even won Li Tong's trust.
Ordinary people's families, they still want to be officials?
Amusing!
"Master Cui, I didn't expect Madame to come over, what should I do next?"
"Do as she says."
Cui Shouzhi doesn't plan to let Cen You reveal his identity yet, this academy is supported by Baili Ye in the back, and now Cen You is already the person in charge of the academy on the bright side, if in the end, this academy must survive, then won't he be able to replace Bai Liye logically?
The people have only seen Li Tong appear here, and they also know that she has spent money to fund her, but what appears in front of the people is the person he knows Cui Shouzhi!
Most of the people are ignorant, and they believe whatever they say, and as long as they give benefits, why worry that no one will support them?
Although Qiyang Academy is specially set up for the children of the poor family, the gentlemen who teach in it are not weaker than the first and second Mengxue, and even several of them are powerful seniors, and many people in the court have expressed their hope to send their children in.
But Bai Liye didn't agree.
Isn't the first and second Mengxue not enough for them to learn, so they have to come to grab resources from the people?
But if Qiyang Academy is known to him, who will he want to stuff into it in the future? Isn't there a lot of silver in vain?
What's more, the really weak and talented person went out of Qiyang Academy and became an official, but he was not his protΓ©gΓ© disciple when he opened his mouth?
Cui Shouzhi's idea was very good, looking at Cen You's departing back, he almost laughed out loud.
He couldn't disappear for too long, so he turned around and climbed out of the back wall of Qiyang Academy.
"This old boy has a lot of means."
On a branch not far away, Lian Rui chewed a tender leaf, staring gloomily at Cui Shouzhi's figure and disappeared behind the courtyard wall.
"I really want to kill him."
"The general said, don't worry, you can follow quickly, I'll go back to my life." After Biyu finished speaking, he jumped down from the tree, and his figure rose and fell between the roofs a few times, and then disappeared.
Lian Rui spit out the chewed leaves, shook his palm, and rolled over.
In the academy, the test was still continuing, Li Tong watched it for a while before leaving with Youchun, and when he left, he told him that the test for the next day must not be like today, Cen You promised again and again.
After leaving the academy, Li Tong turned around and walked in the direction of Cuifu.
In order to make things more like an accident, only by walking through it in person can we know if there are any omissions in the plan, but Youchun doesn't know, but wonders why Mrs. doesn't go to the lively street, but to the street where you can see the children of the official eunuch as soon as you open the door.
