Chapter 544: The Second Talented Girl in Jiangnan
Wei Ruojin let a few people into the main hall and sat down, and ordered the maid to serve tea.
Seeing that she attached so much importance to her, Li Hanyao affirmed the judgment just now, but how to speak still needs to be carefully considered, and then let's take a look.
There is a delicate small courtyard in the southwest corner of Weijiayuanzi, the plaque on the door is written "good as water" four words, the plum blossoms have been thanked, the peach and plum are fragrant, there are several elegant rooms clustered, the west and south directions are all near the water, the weeping willows outside the eaves are flying, printed with a wave behind the back, when the lotus leaves and lotus flowers bloom, push the window is a painting.
Wei Fengju, the old man of Wei, was wearing a sheepskin coat, and was standing in front of the desk in the study with ink splashing, his clear face was quiet, and all his spirit was focused on the end of the wolf's brush, and every stroke was round and free.
There was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and an elegant middle-aged man came in, it was Wei Ruojin's father, Wei Tianfang, who had just resigned from his position as the prefect of Fengzhou and returned to his hometown due to the impact of the Imperial City Mutiny at the end of last year.
"Li Hanyao is here?"
Old Man Wei asked without raising his head.
"Yes, father."
Wei Tianfang replied.
Old Man Wei stopped talking.
Yesterday, there were three bombardments in the city, and last night there was a night of hustle and bustle in the city, and the Wei family was also panicked, but they waited quietly all night, and no one came to harass them. Old Man Wei instructed his son: If Li Hanyao comes to the door tomorrow, just let Wei Ruojin come forward to receive her, no matter what she asks Wei Ruojin to do, just agree.
Although Wei Tianfang responded, he was very puzzled.
Today, Li Hanyao really came, he ordered his daughter to come forward according to his father's instructions, he couldn't help it, and asked his father what was going on.
But the old man only cared about writing.
Wei Tianfang couldn't survive the old man, so he took the initiative to ask: "Father, is it appropriate to let Jin'er show up with Li Hanyao?" Wouldn't it be bad if the Ruoning family found out? β
Old Man Wei still didn't look up, dipped in ink, and said: "Zhiyuan, that kid won't, he often praises Jin'er for being restrained and subtle, otherwise the name of the first talented woman in Jiangnan will not fall on Li Hanyao's head." He also hopes that Jin'er will show his talents. Besides, Jin'er is not the first, so didn't the Yan girl also follow Li Hanyao? Jin'er is just a good time. β
Wei Tianfang said uneasily: "But my Wei family's scholarly family actually connived at my daughter to rebel with Li Hanyao, wouldn't it damage my father's reputation if it was spread out?" β
Old Man Wei raised his head suddenly, looked at his son with blazing eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Who said that my Wei family connived at my daughter to rebel against Li Hanyao?" β
Wei Tianfang was surprised: "Jin'er is not ......"
Old Man Wei interrupted him and said: "The Wei family was affected by the Chen family, the mother family of the abolished emperor, and the officials in the clan resigned one after another to avoid disasters; I can't afford to be seriously ill, you have to do your filial piety as a son of man, and serve the decoction before the bed every day, so you neglect to manage the family affairs; The Wei family was defeated, and in order to revive the Wei family's court, Jin'er advocated without authorization and took refuge in Li Hanyao......"
Wei Tianfang opened his mouth, a wisp of short beard was raised and tall, and looked at his father in amazement - did these words really come from the mouth of his father, who was upright and rigorous in his studies? He almost thought his father was crazy. However, my father's posture just now, if he lifted his weight, how could he look sick?
Old Man Wei was still saying, "...... If Li Hanyao doesn't succeed in the future, I will reprimand Jin'er after I recover from my illness and make her come back to marry Ning Zhiyuan; If Li Hanyao achieves a great cause, it is inconvenient for me to interfere - the female university is not up to her mother! β
Wei Tianfang slandered: "You are a grandfather!" β
Jin'er's mother is long gone.
Hearing this, Wei Tianfang understood: the old man wanted to rely on his granddaughter to revitalize the lintel, and it could be regarded as finding another way out for the Wei family. Otherwise, King Xuanwu and the Wang family joined forces to destroy Dajing, and the Wei family, as the in-laws of the mother's family of the abolished emperor, ended up taking refuge in King Xuanwu, wouldn't it make people laugh? Of course, it is not appropriate to take refuge in Li Hanyao, but after the old man's explanation, this matter has become Wei Ruojin's own opinion, and it has nothing to do with the Wei family.
This hand is self-deceptive!
Is this really his father?
His poor daughter was used as a pawn by his most beloved grandfather. At this time, he was looking forward to Li Hanyao's great achievements; If he loses, his daughter will be busy for nothing, and the end may not be good.
On the face, he said respectfully: "Father is clever." β
Old Man Wei glanced at his son, he looked down on his duplicity, and he didn't bother to explain to him, so he casually ordered: "Go, bring the medicine." β
Wei Tianfang hurriedly turned around and went to the small kitchen.
Old Man Wei is indeed taking medicine.
However, it is a tonic!
Not to mention that the father and son of the Wei family are playing in the backyard, but also the situation in the main hall in front. After the maid stepped back after serving tea, Wei Ruojin motioned to Li Hanyao and others to drink tea, and at the same time looked for some words to greet, looking happy and worried, and worried.
Li Hanyao saw her performance in her eyes, became more determined, drank two sips of tea, put the teacup down, looked at her and smiled: "Sister Wei, I think I know that my little sister is coming?" No matter what the Wei family plans to do, if you are willing to let Sister Wei come out to see me, it is my opportunity and my sister's opportunity. I won't let it go easily, and my sister shouldn't give up easily, she should seize this opportunity. β
Wei Ruojin couldn't help but be relieved when he saw her say it, and said angrily because of his relaxed expression: "You are the most shrewd!" There is nothing that can be hidden from you. β
Li Hanyao smiled: "Where is my shrewdness, my sister has it written on her face." β
Wei Ruojin pouted and said: "How can I compare to my sister, they are all mixed with human essence, and talking and laughing can make the canopy go up in smoke; I can't hide anything. My sister came to invite me solemnly, and I was afraid that I would disappoint my sister. I have neither the talent for decision-making, nor the ability to make decisions, so I'm afraid I won't be able to assist my sister. β
Li Hanyao smiled: "My sister is also humble. I know my sister's temperament, and I won't arbitrarily arrange for my sister to charge into battleβ"
Hearing this, Wei Ruojin blushed.
Yan Yun and Luo Wuchen also laughed.
Li Hanyao continued: "We have set up a women's school, and we want to ask my sister to come forward to take charge of the position of the head of this female college. Mr. Wei was a bachelor of Hanlin; With my sister's talent, it will be okay to be the son of the country in the future. This heavy responsibility of teaching and educating people should not embarrass my sister. Would my sister be willing to take it? β
Wei Ruojin's eyes lit up - teaching and educating people is not only in line with her temperament, she doesn't need to be good at dancing with long sleeves and mixing in officialdom, she can also be competent with her talents, it is a noble errand, if she does it well, her reputation is not low.
She immediately nodded and said, "Okay!" β
Li Hanyao clapped her hands and said, "Sister is refreshing!" β
It was a really smooth trip.
Luo Wuchen didn't expect it to go so smoothly, and couldn't help but secretly guess the intentions of the Wei family, how could they allow Wei Ruojin to go out? There is also Li Hanyao, who really uses people to the extreme. If she asks Wei Ruojin to serve as the county magistrate of Xiazhao, I'm afraid Wei Ruojin won't be able to do it; But letting Wei Ruojin be in charge of women's studies is indeed a good move.
Listen to Li Hanyao's detailed analysis of Wei Ruojin: "...... First, the trivial entertainment and financial expenses should be handled by Sister Huo and Sister Liu, and Sister Wei only arranges teaching, and you all perform your duties and do your part......"
The more Wei Ruojin listened, the more satisfied he became, and he couldn't help nodding.
