Chapter 50: Youzhou (6)
Seeing his expression, Tao Ling said, "Old Madam Lan still mentioned in the letter that she would write to you, didn't you receive it?" ”
Xiao Yuanmao had an epiphany, hurriedly went out of the door, and beckoned the scholar to come over: "Do you have a letter in the past two days?" ”
The scholar replied: "Yes, there are some prayers, all of which are with Senior Brother Yang." ”
All of Xiao Yuanmao's correspondence is from his disciple Yang Yi, because he has a lot of letters on weekdays, including letters sent by students from afar, various letters sent by other states and counties in Youzhou, and letters from village chiefs in the countryside about the school, and countless visits to the door.
Generally speaking, Yang Yi will sort out the ordinary letters, and write out all the time and characters of the post, and then show them to Xiao Yuanmao.
Xiao Yuanmao quickly got the letters from the last two days and found the greeting post sent by the Lan family. The worship post is actually mixed with this plan.
Xiao Yuanmao looked at it at a glance, and then pondered.
Tao Lingzhi looked at Xiao Yuanmao motionless in a daze, but Song Rong couldn't help but poked out his neck: "Xiao Yuanmao, what did Old Madam Lan say?" ”
Xiao Yuanmao handed them the letter, and the two quickly read it.
In fact, this is a bookseller's planning book.
Tao Lingzhi looked at it, his hand holding the letter trembled slightly, and he shouted: "Wonderful, wonderful!" ”
Song Rong also finished reading it, but he thought it was very fresh, but he didn't react for a while.
Tao Lingzhi's eyes were full of God: "Good at educating the people, with clear etiquette and righteousness, the education of the people of Youzhou will go to a higher level!" ”
At this moment, Di He, the prefect of Pingyang Prefecture, also received two books from the Lan family.
These two books are just very ordinary county chronicles, but Di He feels heavy when he holds them in his hand.
Mrs. Di said worriedly, "Husband, what does the Lan family mean by this? Do you just want to set up friendships? ”
Di He put down the book: "The person who delivered the book, is he still there?" ”
Mrs. Di nodded: "They should have heard the time of your dismissal, so they said that they would wait for a reply outside." ”
"You asked people to reply, and the book was accepted." Di He took down a copy of "Pingyang County Chronicles" from the bookshelf and "sent this book over." ”
"This ......," Mrs. Di was a little embarrassed, "they are hated by the emperor, and you are so close to them......"
Di He shook his head: "It's not in the way, although Old Marquis Lan has a general friendship with me, he is a real person." Now the Lan family, young and old, just want to seek protection, and I am just a gesture. It's a personal favor! ”
Xiao Yuanmao's disciple Yang Yi is Chinese New Year's Eve years old and a native of Youzhou. He was already a man ten years ago, and he escaped the massacre of the Hui because he was studying abroad, but all the people were killed. Because he wanted to keep filial piety and temporarily missed the imperial examination, just when Mingde Academy was rebuilt, he became Xiao Yuanmao's deputy and received the position of Xuezheng, which was ten years.
Yang Yi is the Xuezheng of the academy, but he is almost Xiao Yuanmao's deputy, but he can also be regarded as half of the spokesperson of Mingde Academy! So when his carriage crossed the entire downtown of Binh Duong, it attracted a lot of people's attention.
"Hey, isn't that Xiao Changshan's carriage? I recognize the carriage. A rich man upstairs said.
"Xiao Changshan is not in the carriage, he should be teaching at this time!" An old man touched his beard and said.
"It's not Xiao Changshan, who is that?" Someone next to me asked.
The old man pointed down: "Do you see the scholar next to the coachman?" Sitting inside is supposed to be Yang Xuezheng. ”
"It turned out to be Yang Xuezheng, I heard that this person is quite good, but he is willing to be a nine-grade petty official here, and he will not go to the imperial examination."
"You know what? If I can follow Xiao Changshan, even if I am a nine-grade petty official, I am willing! ”
"Cut, if you have the ability, you can also try to be a nine-grade petty official, and you dare to look down on Yang Xuezheng......"
"That's not what I mean...... Hey? How did the carriage go northwest? ”
"Really, isn't the northwest a place for the poor?"
"Maybe a prodigy from which family was discovered?" Immediately someone ridiculed.
There was a child in Huoyang Village who was very smart, but his parents were poor and did not let the child go to school. The village chief couldn't bear to see this drop out of school, so he wrote to inform Xiao Changshan. Yang Yi personally went to the village to test this child, and found that he was very smart, and shouted: "This child is very wise, it's a pity not to learn, and the cost is provided by the academy." ”
After the news spread, people who were familiar with Yang Yi saw him appear in Pingyang Mansion, and they would quip: "Brother Yang has found a prodigy again this time?" ”
Yang Yi rode Xiao Changshan's carriage across the downtown streets, and was still recognized when he walked to the suburbs.
"Hey, look at it, isn't that Xiao Changshan's carriage? I wouldn't be mistaken. There's a 'Xiao' word there. ”
"Yes, yes, I've seen this carriage, that coachman...... I've seen it too. ”
"Wait, it's not Xiao Changshan who came down...... It's Yang Xuezheng. ”
"Who is he visiting? Hasn't this household been inhabited for a few years? ”
"You don't know that, it was rented out the other day. It is said that it is a family from the capital, oh, it seems to be surnamed Lan. ”
"Blue? From the capital? Isn't it the one who took away the title? ”
"Then what is Yang Xuezheng coming to them for?"
Yang Yi naturally couldn't hear the gossip outside the door, he was already visiting Lu Yingfang.
As soon as Lu Yingfang saw Yang Yi, her eyes lit up. Wow, is this the legendary Gongzi Ruyu? Although Yang Yi is thirty years old, he looks like he is in his twenties.
Dressed in a jujube red brocade robe, his posture is thin and straight, his sideburns are like knives, his eyebrows are like ink paintings, he smiles when he meets, like a spring breeze, and a pair of black eyes are starry. He bowed his hand, and his voice was magnetic: "Junior Yang Yi visits the old lady." ”
After Yang Yi said hello, he was slightly surprised when he saw Lu Yingfang looking at him in a daze, and he even forgot to put down his hand.
Lan Rong coughed lightly: "Mother." ”
This "mother" pulled Lu Yingfang back to reality.
This is the first time Lu Yingfang has seen a handsome guy in the ancient traditional sense, although he is a thirty-year-old middle-aged handsome guy. But this handsome guy calls himself a "junior", and there is a thirty-year-old man next to him (who looks old) who calls himself "mother".
Suddenly, I envy those women who have crossed over, although some of them are concubines, and they have to face the difficulties of their mothers-in-law. Some of them are peasant girls who want to farm. But after all, she has crossed into a young girl, and there are infinite possibilities for meeting handsome guys.
Her biggest possibility is that she will be on standby for a long time, leading the Lan family to a higher level, and then losing her teeth...... I can't imagine that picture.
"Old lady?" Yang Yi shouted tentatively, when he just entered the main hall, he still saw the old lady laughing from a distance, why did he look very sad in a blink of an eye?
Lu Yingfang hurriedly beckoned him to sit down, the handsome guy looks good drinking tea! She turned her gaze to Lan Rong, who was also thirty years old, others were in their prime, but he looked like a man in his forties. It would be nice if the Lan family looked better, at least it was eye-catching...... I look like I'm in a better mood.
As soon as the tea was in his mouth, Yang Yi knew that this was Biluochun. This tea is a tribute from the royal family, if it weren't for Xiao Changshan's side, he wouldn't have had a chance to drink this kind of tea! It seems that although the Lan family is down, it is not like those ordinary magnates after all.
Yang Yi put down the teacup and said, "The junior came rashly this time and disturbed it. Xiao Changshan has already received the letter of worship and the plan. Master Tao and Lord Rong also hope to have an interview with you, so the juniors come this time to see when you are old? ”
Yang Yi is a very polite young man, Lu Yingfang felt blood dripping from her heart when she heard it, hey, why did she wear it on the old lady? System, come out and give me a smoking!
Listening to Yang Yi, the three letters she sent were all successful?
Lu Yingfang was overjoyed, with a kind smile: "It's up to the adults." ”
The next day, Lu Yingfang took Lan Rongzhuan and Lan Ronghe to Hongmei Garden.
Hongmei Garden is the Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Tao Lingzhi, just because there are a lot of red plums planted in the open area of the Zhuangzi, because of the name. Tao Lingzhi opens the Red Plum Garden to students every winter, allowing them to gather here to make friends and talk about poetry. It was only when Lu Yingfang heard about this that she wrote to him. Tao Lingzhi and Xiao Yuanmao are both people who are willing to work hard for the cause of education in Youzhou, so Lu Yingfang is sure that she will not be rejected by them.
Lan Ronghe went to look for a house yesterday, according to Lu Yingfang's plan, the bookstore can't be too small, so Lan Ronghe went to other friends to help see if there was a suitable house.
Lu Yingfang didn't take Lan Rong around, firstly, this product was easy to get excited, secondly, she was afraid that he would say the wrong thing, and thirdly, she was afraid that he would tell the Sun family in every detail. Sun has a lot of eyes, and during pregnancy, don't let her think about it.
Lu Yingfang had no time to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the suburbs, until she was led into the path, and saw three people sitting in the pavilion from a distance, and after these three people saw her, they all stood up one after another and waited for her.
When Lu Yingfang saw this, her heart was settled.
Later, the "Historical Records of Youzhou" recorded: On November 20 of the first year of Kang Chun, in Hongmei Garden in the north of the city, Tao Lingzhi, Xiao Yuanmao, Song Rong met with Mrs. Lan and her two sons to discuss the bookstore. This bookstore is a precedent, allowing the Hanshi of Youzhou to reach a higher level, so that the sons of the villagers can get the teaching of etiquette and music. Since then, the literary style of Youzhou has been even worse, and the education and touching of the people is the most in history.
After Lu Yingfang went home, she learned that the Qian family had bought two subordinates and came back.
It turned out that when Qian and Aunt Gu went out, they encountered the scene of the brother and sister selling themselves to bury their father. The girl is fifteen or sixteen years old, and the boy is about ten years old.
"Little lady, follow us two brothers, and I will definitely let you eat meat." A strong man tried to touch her face, but the boy next to him pushed him away.
"Don't touch my sister." The boy protects his sister.
The strong man slapped him: "When I buy your sister, let your sister serve me and throw you to dig stones." "Stone was needed to repair the walls, which used to be the work of prisoners or the poorest.
Another man said: "Twenty taels of silver, buddy is not sorry, the little lady will be our bride tonight, haha!"
The people around them shook their heads, but they didn't dare to step forward.
Suddenly, the little girl rushed over and hugged Qian's leg: "Mrs., madam, you can do it, buy me!" Buy me! ”
The strong man raised his eyebrows: "You are my fancie, how can you let someone else buy it?" ”
