Chapter 317: The Academy
An Lan was puzzled in her heart, how could Chu Xingze call the deans of these academies in a good manner, if she remembered well, these academies were their competitors.
In the capital, there are more than a dozen famous academies alone, and these are the top among these academies.
Seeing that An Lan was gently squeezing his hand, the smile between Chu Xingze's eyebrows was difficult to contain.
didn't continue to play tricks, and then he said the purpose of inviting them.
"Now that the year is approaching, the emperor has always been concerned about education, so I would like to take this opportunity to let your major academies have a simple exchange of ideas, so that we can make up for each other's shortcomings. I wonder what you deans think? ”
As soon as these words came out, several deans realized Chu Xingze's purpose in hindsight.
On the surface, it is a competition and exchange, but who doesn't understand the real meaning, it is nothing more than letting them send a few students to have an open competition.
These deans looked embarrassed, you look at me, I look at you, I can't make up my mind for a while. An Lan was stunned for a moment, and then agreed first.
As soon as An Lan agreed, it was difficult for several other deans to refuse.
"In this case, we are willing to obey the arrangement of the prince, and we are more willing to uphold the educational concept of the Holy One. The prince can set the time and place to notify us, and we will also send special personnel to contact the prince for follow-up matters. ”
Dean Li stood up and agreed with Chu Xingze's arrangement first. If the emperor knew about this kind of thing, he would also strongly support it.
The others had no opinion, and after a brief discussion on the matter, they each left.
Seeing their departing backs, An Lan was happy in his heart.
"Thank you for coming out for my school this time."
"Aren't you afraid that your academy will be discredited?" Chu Xingze raised his eyebrows lightly and asked with a smile.
His big hand brushed lightly on An Lan's hair, looking extremely intimate.
An Lan smiled like a spring breeze and was full of enthusiasm, and he didn't worry about this matter at all.
"No one in the capital knows that my school only opened this year, while theirs has been open for decades. If they lose this game, no one cares, they just take it for granted, but if they win by luck......"
The words that followed An Lan did not speak, but replaced them with an extremely strong smile.
Chu Xingze was amused by her, pulled An Lan to his side, and gently picked An Lan's chin, and the distance between him and her was extremely close.
"In that case, how does the lady plan to reward her husband?" His eyes were full of ambiguity.
The moment he met his eyes, a strange feeling spread throughout his body, making An Lan's face flush.
An Lan broke free from his arms and deliberately kept his distance from him, feeling very uncomfortable, as if his heart was beating faster and faster.
"What reward does the prince want?" An Lan asked.
Chu Xingze is the prince, the emperor's son, and with his identity, he should not lack anything.
Chu Xingze still asked An Lan for a reward. Frowning and thinking for a while, the request was not excessive, and An Lan agreed without hesitation.
In the following days, An Lan had been busy with several other academies to discuss and communicate with each other, and it took three days to complete the matter.
An Lan deliberately sent their only few female students, and there were no female students in other academies, so An Lan's school can be said to be in the limelight, although only one student achieved some results in the end, but it still made her school famous.
At this time, it has reached the end of the year, and a few days after the end of this exchange, Anlan gave the students of the school a holiday. The people in the palace are also talking about the New Year, and the lights are everywhere in the capital, so it is not lively.
An Lan wandered around the capital with Chu Xingze in the early morning of the next day, and there were red spots everywhere inside and outside the capital, and some people pasted couplets early and hung red lanterns.
Although there are still more than a month before the Chinese New Year, I have already felt the lively atmosphere.
"Madam, look, isn't that the person from the former refugee camp?" Suddenly, Chu Xingze pointed to a man selling couplets in the distance.
When she looked closely, An Lan had a smile between her eyebrows, and she recognized it. This man is more recognizable, and there is a red mole in the middle of his eyebrows, so Chu Xingze can remember it.
The man also saw An Lan and Chu Xingze, and he ran over and stuffed a few couplets into An Lan's hand.
"I can't help it, you are a small business, give me so many couplets, wouldn't you lose money." An Lan quipped, and put the couplet in his stall, not willing to accept it at all.
"Lord County, this is just a small piece of heart, and I want to thank Lord County for his rescue. If it weren't for you and the prince appearing in time, how could the big water in our hometown stop in time, and it would be impossible for the little one to escape death and pick up a life......"
He said a lot of words of thanks to An Lan and Chu Xingze.
"By the way, there should be a lot of your fellow villagers where you live, how about the others, are they okay now?" An Lan couldn't help but be a little worried.
Not everyone is business-minded, even if they do a small business, some don't know at all.
Moreover, the high prices in this capital are very high, and it is not easy to live here.
Looking at An Lan's worried appearance, the man suddenly laughed.
"Thanks to the county lord's concern, the people in the refugee camp are now safe and sound, and some of them have returned to their hometowns, and the imperial court has given them seeds and rewarded them with silver to renovate their houses. As for those of us who don't want to go back, we have prepared special accommodations for us, and many of us live in peace......"
Later, he said a lot of words of praise for the court, and more of a lament that he was wise and martial today.
After a brief chat with this man, Chu Xingze and An Lan went to wander elsewhere. Everywhere I went, there was a lively scene, the people in the capital were living and working in peace and contentment, and the number of troublemakers was extremely small.
After a long day, the two bought a lot of things and prepared to have a happy New Year.
At the same time, the palace is also full of lights, and the little palace maids and eunuchs are busy cleaning the palaces and preparing for the New Year. The emperor is also preparing for various matters for the New Year, and many generals stationed at the border gates returned to China early to reunite with their families.
Just after many officials reported on the situation of the border guards, the emperor was satisfied with letting them leave.
"I can't imagine that there will be a stable day at the border, and it would be great if it was like this in the future."
Looking at the excerpts they wrote, the emperor was satisfied.
From the performance of these officials, it can be seen that the situation at the border passes is very good, and the enemy does not dare to attack.
At this moment, a little eunuch ran in a panic, and he didn't have time to salute, so he sent this recital to the emperor.
"Something has happened to the emperor!" After the little eunuch shouted these words, he remembered that he should kneel on the ground and speak to the emperor.
