As soon as the news of the sale of corn for grain came out, the people around Ruanjiazhuang responded the fastest; Then there are the remote villages, where the soil is not very good and there is an extreme shortage of water. It's already bad, can it be worse? Because of this thought, the government quickly returned to its capital, not only Wanping, Shuntian, as of April, by selling corn to grow grain, the Yongle Emperor had recovered the cost of going to sea for the first time.

Meng Shan only stayed in Shuntian Mansion for half a month, and as soon as the Meng family's carriage and horses in Fengcheng arrived, they set off to return to their hometown. Gu Zhixian sent 1,000 taels of silver to the door, but Meng Shan didn't accept it, and said with a smile: "When I gave the girl's dowry." ”

"Her family affairs have not yet been settled, and this marriage is a little early. Master Hou has a heart, and it is good to give this child the things next to him in the future. ”

Hearing this, Meng Shan was a little embarrassed.

Gu Yao is only eleven years old now, so why do you have to be fifteen or sixteen to get married. Yourself, can you still live to that time? Once she leaves, will someone in the Meng family give her a dowry? It's just that it is given to the Gu family now, which is really inappropriate, thinking so, Meng Shan accepted the money and asked Gu Zhixian: "What do you think of this child's family affairs?" ”

Gu Zhixian really seriously thought about Gu Yao's family affairs, because he said: "Yao Yao likes books, has a good heart and an upright temperament, I think it would be better to find a reader with a gentle personality but a responsible personality." First, the two have something to say, and moreover, scholars are better than martial artists. ”

There is something to say between husband and wife, which is the regret of Gu Zhixian's life. His wife is quite rich, and the housekeeper is also a good hand, but he can't read a few big characters. He saw that Gu Yao was no less intelligent than Aunt Shen, so he was naturally reluctant to let her marry a martial artist with different literary ink.

Meng Shan bowed his head and said, "Yes." I know a few people with good character and ordinary family backgrounds, go back and pick one, and if there is a suitable one, send someone to tell you. ”

Gu Zhixian did not refuse, and said busily: "Then Hou Ye will bother." ”

On the first day of April, half a month after sending Meng Shan away, the door of the Mengxue Hall was open to welcome students.

The door was opened only half a pillar of incense, and the three rooms of the gatehouse were crowded with people. Under the constraints of the officials, everyone lined up in a crooked and oblique manner in the order of first come, first served. Behind the screen, looking at the bustling crowd, Mrs. Lu looked back and praised Gu Yao: "It's still thoughtful." ”

Gu Yao smiled: "I just mentioned it, and my wife was willing to listen, so I took the first credit." ”

Mrs. Lu smiled and accepted her flattery. Isn't it? If she didn't do it, Gu Yao would just talk in vain.

Yuan Fang, the director of the Mengxue Museum, did not show up today. The person who presided over the recruitment was Wang Xiu, the acting curator.

Wang Xiu is a native of the Lu Governor's Mansion and a thirty-seven-year-old Xiucai. Yuan Fang is young, but he is above him, and at present, it seems that this Wang Xiu is not dissatisfied. One is that Yuan Fang took him in by himself, and the other is that Gu Yao is the real owner of the Mengxue Pavilion, the Lu family, just the identity of a collaborator. I just don't know if his recognition was forced by the Lu family, or if he thought so himself. No matter what he thinks, if he can show his displeasure, Gu Yao has no opinion.

Although most of the people who came today were ordinary people, Mrs. Lu still bowed her head with satisfaction, and said to Gu Yao with a smile: "Look at this posture, full capacity is not a problem. ”

There are 16 students in one school, a total of 6 rooms, and there are nearly 100 students when it is full. There are only 10,000 households in Daxing and Wanping counties in the city, 100 people, that is, one of the 100 households comes to study, although the proportion is low, but I don't know how much better than before, she has contributed, which is equal to the Lu family's contribution, giving her man a long face in front of the emperor, can Mrs. Lu be unhappy?

A spark can start a prairie fire.

Gu Yao was also satisfied, if she wanted to get this Mengxue Hall, she had to be responsible for her own profits and losses, and she had to pay three hundred yuan to protect her capital. Mrs. Lu was too expensive at first and disagreed, Gu Yao said honestly: "If you can't even afford this money, don't study." Just a few pen, ink, paper, and inkstones can bring down a family. ”

Mrs. Lu agreed.

If it is full, it will be able to earn four or five dollars a month, and after deducting the master's two taels of wages, half of it will be left to repair the house and table, and although it will not make any money, it will not be compensated.

An hour later, when the Huangzitang was full, Wang Xiu stood up and took out the prepared words with a smile: "I'm sorry everyone, it's already full." Don't be anxious if you haven't reported it, there are still a few more schools, and there is a shortage of tables, chairs, and masters. ”

Those who were dissatisfied, looking at the full hall of officials, didn't dare to say anything except blaming themselves for being late. Seeing that there was nothing to do, Mrs. Lu and Gu Yao were about to retreat, when they saw a child in brocade walking in and said loudly: "I will report to Huangzitang." ”

Wang Xiuzhi knew that this kid's background must not be low, but in front of so many people, he could only say the same as before: "I'm sorry, the Huangzitang is full." ”

As if he hadn't seen the servant, the little boy pouted, "No matter, I'm going to report to Huangzitang." ”

Although he is a fool, the little boy is meaty, with a cute little face and a pair of black eyes the size of grapes. When Wang Xiu asked herself, Mrs. Lu told him: "Ask carefully, pay attention to the tone." ”

Wang Xiu had to come back and ask the boy, "Where is your adult?" ”

The little boy doesn't say it, which means that he can make his own decisions, that is, an adult. Wang Xiu supported his forehead, worked hard for a long time, and kept telling himself that this was an adult, and explained to him seriously. When the little boy heard this, he said, "Master, I have it, and I have a table and chair at home." ”

"You have everything, what are you doing here?"

The little boy said, "I don't have so many people in my family who are as small as me. ”

Gu Yao saw that the little boy's eyebrows and eyes were very familiar, and after thinking for a long time, he didn't remember where he had seen them, and when he heard this again, his heart moved, and he immediately asked him: "Is your surname Zheng?" ”

"Huh? Which sister is talking? How does my sister know that my surname is Zheng? ”

Gu Yao first heard that although he was capricious in his words and actions, he was not messing around, and he was a cute thing, so he saved three points of liking; If I know his identity, I like it even more. Born rich and noble, it is really rare to have such a temperament, so he is very tolerant of him, and after confirming what he said in a soft and slow voice, Fang and Mrs. Lu said: "Madam sent someone to Wu'an Hou Mansion to discuss it, and then make a conclusion." ”

"You come with me."

When Mrs. Lu heard that it was from the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion, she invited Gu Yao to go with her. Although Zheng Zhi is not there, Gu Yao is a little weak-hearted, and he doesn't dare to see the political beauty, how can he pass? Then he said: "When I use my wife, my wife pulls me." In this whole house, how can I take my wife? ”

"If you don't go, you won't go, where are these crooked words? Think it's because I'm not satisfied? ”

"How dare you."

Wang Xiu, who got the order, sent the little boy to the back of the screen, and said to everyone: "That's the son of the Marquis of Wu'an, if it's really as he said, he can accept more than a dozen children, if you have a heart, you can wait for a while." ”

Mrs. Lu personally took the child, Zheng Cong, the fourth master of the Zheng family, and set off from the side door, and the destination was Wu'an Hou's Mansion.

Seeing that it was already noon, considering that the Wu'an Hou Mansion was in the south of the palace, and the Mengxue Hall was in the east of the palace, Mrs. Lu couldn't come back for a while, so Gu Yao asked someone to serve hot tea to the people waiting, and served some baked cakes, and each person was given a belly pad.

At noon, Mrs. Lu returned with a happy face, and said to Gu Yao: "The Zheng family agreed, and also promised to come up with a lifter and a showman to be a master, and Tianzitang can also start classes." ”

Pulling someone to be a master is equivalent to changing to a postdoctoral fellow who has become a teacher, Gu Yao was a little unconvinced, because he asked: "How old is that lifter?" How do you come to the museum? ”
