Chapter XXXVII: The organs are exhausted
The porter was shocked when he heard this, and waved his hand again and again to clarify to his master, "No, no, no, my lord is highly respected, don't be a fool!" ”
He was crying out in his heart, when suddenly a small servant in the house hurried over and muttered a few words in the ear of the porter. The porter's face was depressed, and he obediently let go and said to the two: "My lord invites the adults to come into the house for a while." ”
Xie Yikou sneered: "If that old man avoids it again, I will think that he is the eldest daughter of a yellow flower in which family." As he spoke, he raised his hand and pushed open the door and let Wen Zhesang enter the house first.
"You!" The porter was so angry that he blushed and had a thick neck, but he had to watch the little maid lead the two into the house.
"Bad luck!" The porter scolded in a low voice, "Isn't it just a subordinate maid of Israel, my lord is willing to see you, it is your great blessing!" ”
On the other side, the little maid led Wen Zhesang and the others straight to the side hall, and only after the maid served tea did he say: "My master is discussing with a few masters, and Lord Lao will wait for a while." ”
The maid brought a chic pastry, and it seemed that she wanted Wen Zhesang and the two to stay for a long time.
The matter has come to this point, Wen Zhesang is not in a hurry, and said: "It's just a moment, this official can afford to wait." It's just that I want to bother you to reply to Master Wei, get off the horse, don't overdo it. ”
She can see this clearly, when he first came to visit, Master Wei didn't want to see her at all, and now that she has beaten all the rich families, Master Wei's desire to reopen the school may not be able to get his wish. But he was willing to meet, but he just asked her to wait, didn't he have the intention to make Ma Wei what is?
The little girl's slightly changing face made Wen Zhesang even more determined in his thoughts.
"When I say an adult, a small one must be brought." The little guy said and turned out of the side hall, and after a while, suddenly there was a faint sound of discussion.
Wen Zhesang listened carefully, and the source of the sound was the main hall next door.
Xie Yikou's ear strength is better than ordinary people, these sparse voices make him irritable, but if he listens carefully, he can also hear some generalities, it seems that Master Wei is discussing with others, but the content is so faint that people are upset to listen. "My lord, I see that old man is deliberately hanging us, so it is better for me to arrest him once and for all."
"No. Master Wei is a lifter, and it is not easy to force it. As soon as Wen Zhesang's words fell, he saw Bi Gongbijing, the little servant who had just led the two of them in, passing by the door, and went to the main hall with the middle-aged Confucian who was half blocked by him.
The voices in the main hall were silent for a moment, and then they became lively again, just noisy, more like they were deliberately meant to be heard.
Xie Yikou couldn't wait to break into the main hall immediately and tie people up. But I saw Wen Zhesang sitting all day, and he was not impatient at all. He thought about it, and simply learned that Wen Zhisang didn't listen to what was going on outside the window, and only regarded the sound of those discussions as the noisy cicadas in the summer.
The tea was cold, and the "moment" dragged on for half an hour. Wen Zhesang didn't wait any longer, "Someone." She said.
The maid lowered her eyebrows and said, "What do you command?" ”
Wen Zhesang's eyes glanced out as if he was notched, and unexpectedly found a sneaky guy eavesdropping. She asked, "I wonder when Master Wei will be free?" ”
The maid's face was embarrassed, but she had already been instructed, and at this time she replied according to the order: "My lord, my lord and your masters are discussing important matters, please wait a while." ”
"In this way, Master Wei will not be free today?"
The maid lowered her head, "Please don't embarrass the slave and maid." ”
Left and right are not people who can call the shots, and Wen Zhesang has no intention of entanglement with her. She got up and called Xie Yikou and said, "Since Master Wei has something important to do, I won't bother today." ”
Seeing that she was leaving, the maid hurriedly saluted and gave it away. Walking out of the front hall, the little guy who listened to the corner of the wall was long gone.
Until Wen Zhesang and the others left the house, Master Wei did not show up, and clearly played the two of them.
In the main hall of the Wei Mansion, Master Wei listened to the little guy describe how Wen Zhesang and the two waited in the side hall for half an hour, he teased, and heard that the two had left, so he sarcastically said: "The old man is still what a great character that Wen County Commander is, it turns out, it's just like that." ”
Several of his students immediately laughed, and someone said, "My husband is highly respected, how can she be a foolish woman who wants to see her?" Wait for the gentleman to dry her once or twice, so that she can know who is the most talkative person in Qingfeng County. ”
"Brother Wang is right, Mr. is a person appointed by the saint, and he can be said to be on an equal footing with the county order she bought. She refuses to let her husband reopen the school now, perhaps because she is afraid that her husband will shake her position. ”
"The two of you are reasonable, wait for us to help Mr. reopen the school, recruit students, and establish prestige. In time, the female stream will be driven out of Qingfeng County. ”
Saying that, several people began to boast that Master Wei was highly respected and was the "new county order" by default in the county.
Master Wei listened comfortably, but he still put on an open face on his face, waved his hands, and made a gesture to let the students restrain a little.
A few people didn't know how much ruthlessness they had hidden between their words, and it was also thanks to them that they wanted Wen Zhisang, who was in the side hall, to hear it, so they kept talking about the short and irrelevant gossip of the parents, so they were sure that these rebellious words would never fall into Wen Zhisang's ears.
- Even if she knows, they are not afraid. is only a female stream, not enough to worry about.
However, they could not have imagined that it was the useless woman in their mouths, and as soon as they returned to the yamen, they drafted a notice. asked the official to post it again, and it set off a lot of waves for a while.
The content of the notice is simple and deadly. According to the notice, Wen Zhesan set up the county middle school as a county court and listed dozens of rules and regulations. She was gracious and powerful, and while taking the right of the people to open the school privately, she also announced that the expenses of the school should be taken over by the yamen.
In this way, it can be said that students are admitted for free. For the people of Qingfeng County, who were exploited by Wang De, this is a great thing.
Although the Taoli School has opened and no longer accepts new students, the new school renovated by Wu Beifa and others has been completed and can be put into use. It's just that the most troublesome thing is that the new school hasn't recruited a master yet.
So Wen Zhesang also wrote the monthly rules of the master of the school into the notice, and openly recruited talents.
As soon as this notice came out, the Wei Mansion exploded.
At that time, Master Wei was about to say goodbye to his students, but a little guy ran in in a panic, and he seemed to have something in his arms.
"Sir! It's not good, sir! Take a look! The little guy handed over the notice he secretly hid to Master Wei, he didn't know how to read, but after listening to the official's errand read it two or three times, he knew that this matter was very big. So he quietly stole the notice while everyone was running to Taoli Academy to inquire about the news, and rushed back non-stop.
Master Wei reproached disapprovingly: "What's the panic, it's just ......" said, his gaze was nailed to the notice like a nail, "No, this is impossible, how dare she!" ”
Several people came around, and while supporting Master Wei, they leaned over to read the notice, and only after this look did they know what was wrong.
Master Wang endured it for a long time so that he didn't tear up the notice on the spot, and scolded the little guy: "What are you doing in the cold, don't you help Mr. to rest?" ”
"Yes...... Be! The little guy beckoned a few people, hurriedly helped Master Wei, and before he took two steps, the little guy exclaimed, "The master fainted!" ”
In the past few days, the yamen has been quite lively, and there were many people who inquired about the news at the Taoli School at the beginning, but Zeng Fuzi blocked all of them back, asking them not to disturb the students' studies.
In desperation, the people had to run to the yamen one by one, from morning to night, without a moment's stop. Many people are poor and have no money left to send their children to school, but now it is just in time for Wen Zhesang to open the school, so they are full of satisfaction to send their children in.
There were more people coming, and the questions asked were repeated. A few days later, Wen Zhesang and Song Hanshu compiled a booklet together and let the officials distribute it to everyone. It's hassle-free and easy.
After being free, Wen Zhesang asked Song Hanshu to sign up for the list of masters of the new school.
She hadn't been in Qingfeng County for a long time, and she didn't know much about anyone. So he gave the list to Song Hanshu and asked him to screen out the people who supported Master Wei on the surface first.
Another day, she asked Zeng Fuzi to meet with the people who signed up in the new school, which was the second screening. While doing this, some of the tables, chairs and benches that were needed in the school were also sent over one after another.
When she took over Qingfeng County, the yamen was already an empty shell, and before opening a good hall, plus the school, the silver of the white flowers could only flow out, which made people feel distressed.
The people didn't know her difficulties, but Dongxue mentioned a word or two to the dog girl, so in the new school, a number of tables and chairs made by the old and young in the good hall were also mixed. It's not a lot, but it's a warm heart.
When Wen Zhesang was finally free, Master Wei finally couldn't sit still and sent someone to invite her to meet.
The person who came was the little guy who led the way that day, and his expression was still respectful at this time, but this time and that time were different after all.
Xie Yikou stared at people and smiled very badly, "You want to see our county order?" ”
The little guy nodded, "Yes, my lord wants to clear the county to order the adults to enter the mansion, and ask the official to make it convenient." ”
The matter of spreading the word should not have been done by Xie Yikou, but the little guy came unfortunately, and happened to meet him, which led to today's scene.
"Your lord? What kind of character is that? Xie Yikou sneered, "Besides, Lord Wen is a dignified county order, and he is busy with business, who can see him if he wants to?" I think you'd better go back and tell him, for the rest of the day, be honestly a pedantic old man, what else do you mix? ”
The little guy was speechless, and he had nothing to say. The county order visited the Wei Mansion twice before, but once he couldn't enter the door directly, and once he entered the door, but it made people dry and embarrassed. Now the situation is different, the lord regrets it, but the county order is also a grudge.
Xie Yikou saw that he was not leaving, and he didn't bother to say anything, so he turned around and called the official to come over, and asked people to drag him down the steps and throw him on the side of the road. In Xie Yikou's words, it just can't block the way of the yamen.
