Chapter 366: Abandoning the Martial Arts Arena
"Pick according to my requirements, then there will be so many people?" At this moment, Xiaoman didn't know whether to doubt whether there were too many people who came to sign up, or whether he suspected that the criteria he had set were too general.
There are so many people, even if they wait until Wang Youhe comes back to start classes, there are not enough people.
"Mrs. Hui, don't you know how many people come to sign up every day!" Speaking of this, Wang Dacui was very excited, his slightly chubby cheeks flushed, and he said with his hands dancing: "Every day before dawn, there are a lot of people queuing at the door, Brother He and I are busy until the evening every day, but we still can't screen the people who signed up that day......"
The more the other party talked, the more excited he became, and he wanted to reproduce that lively scene in the house.
Seeing this, Xiao Man hurriedly ordered the other party to stop, and then turned his eyes on He Miao and asked, "He Miao, are there really so many people who come to sign up?" ”
"Yes, as Sister Wang said, there are countless people who come to sign up every day, and Sister Wang and I are really busy, otherwise we wouldn't have sent a message to the county lord to ask you to come back to help us." He Miao bowed slightly and said.
"Yes, Lord Shire." Wang Dacui echoed: "Little Brother He and I strictly follow the standards you left behind, and everyone has to check it and make sure that there is no problem before daring to let them in." ”
Hearing this, Xiao Man let out a long sigh and bit his lower lip to think about what to do.
There are so many people who come, and they are all people who agree with their own standards, but there are only a few embroidery girls in the house, and they have to be busy with the situation in the greenhouse, and the most important point is that no one in Canglan knows this knowledge, if you want to find someone to help, you have to invite from Donglan.
However, Rao is like this, Xiao Man did not regret sending Qian Juan and the others back, because they were too noisy, there were already many students, if they made small moves behind their backs because of some careful thinking, then their county lord's mansion would not be quiet at all.
However, with so many students coming, the county lord's mansion is far from being able to accommodate so many people, and even if everyone's time is staggered, the space available to them in this mansion is limited......
Just when Xiaoman was in a dilemma, Wang Dacui opened his mouth and proposed: "County Lord, according to what I said, you might as well set this standard higher, so that you can also eliminate a group of people and save those embroidery girls from hard work, what do you say?" ”
Even though the idea proposed by Wang Dacui is the most trouble-saving and labor-saving, Xiaoman still refused: "No, people were selected according to this standard in the early stage, and they all said that as long as they meet the standards, they can enter the house to study, if we raise the standards because there are many people, isn't this a lie?" No, you can't. ”
As soon as the words fell, He Miao said again: "County Lord, I have a good idea, I don't know if you want to hear it?" ”
"Just say it."
"I think a lot of things are talented, like this embroidery. Although I don't know this embroidery art, because I grew up in Hao Yixuan, I also have a little understanding of the workmanship, material selection and so on of this clothes. Saying that, He Miao smiled slightly, "In my opinion, it is better to set a deadline for registration first, so that the number of people can be determined, and then a small test will be held to test whether they have talent in this area." ”
Listening, Xiao Man couldn't help but nod and said, "This method is really good, in this way, it can indeed sift down a lot of people." ”
After all, the content of the exam and the criteria for whether the exam can be passed are all small and mande, and when the time comes, you only need to select some talented ones who can still improve, so that you can not only explain to the outside, but also really brush a large number of people.
It's just that the venue for this game is ......
Xiao Man was really embarrassed again, she scratched her head and asked: "You are all from Bei'an, do you know if there is a wider venue nearby, at least a place that can accommodate a few hundred people, let's book a venue in advance and let these people go to the exam." ”
"County Lord, I know." Wang Dacui couldn't wait to say: "There is a particularly large open space not far from the east of the city, which seemed to be a martial arts arena before, and then the martial arts arena was moved to the city, and it was deserted. ”
Speaking of which, this is actually what Wang Dacui discovered inadvertently, she went from the suburbs to the city, in order to shorten the distance and time, she often took a small road, and this abandoned martial arts arena was inadvertently discovered when she took a detour.
After listening to Wang Dacui's introduction, Xiao Man silently calculated in his heart that the martial arts arena was big enough and could indeed be used as a venue for temporary competitions. However, since this martial arts arena has been abandoned, it means that this place must have not been taken care of for a long time, so if you want to use it as a venue for competitions, you must have a good rest.
Thinking of this, Xiao Man coughed lightly, "He Miao, you go and draw up a notice to stop enrollment first, Wang Dacui, you take me to this abandoned martial arts arena, I want to go and see for myself." ”
The Lantern Festival was about to start, and she had to go back before the festival was over, so she had to arrange everything in advance.
After their respective division of labor, He Miao went back to the house to draw up the notice, while Xiao Man and Wang Dacui rode out of the city to see the abandoned martial arts arena.
The martial arts arena has not been abandoned for a long time, except for some rubble and hay, the whole venue is perfect, but because it was a martial arts arena before, there are fences around the venue, and it has not been abandoned for a long time, these fences are still strong, and it is impossible to break in.
Wang Dacui is familiar with this place, she took Xiao Man around the circle, and talked about the process of discovering this place as she walked, and she seemed to never know that she was tired.
And Xiao Man was out of breath and frowned halfway through, and Jade couldn't hold on earlier.
But there is no way, this fence is too strong, they dare not break into it easily, they can only walk around the perimeter to make sure that there is no problem around and inside, so that they can hold the future exam competition with confidence.
After walking a whole circle, Xiaoman was so tired that she couldn't walk a step and rested on the fence, she bent over, her head was also against it, and she kept gasping for breath.
Jade wanted to step forward to serve Xiao Man, but because her physical strength had long been exhausted, at this time, she couldn't even move, so she could only stand not far from Xiao Man and persuade: "Madam, this place is big enough, according to the slave, it can be done here!" ”
"The Jade Maiden is right!" Wang Dacui turned around like a person who had nothing to do, and said: "County Lord, although this used to be a martial arts arena and did not allow ordinary people to approach, but now it has been abandoned, and you are the county lord of Wang Shangfeng, as long as you enter the palace and say it, the king will definitely agree!" ”
That's right, but before entering the palace to ask the king, Xiaoman had to ask Zhang Shangqi or Liu Ying first to find out why this place was abandoned.
It's already noon, and when it's time to eat, Xiao Man held on to the fence and rested almost, then breathed a sigh of relief, beckoned the two to leave, wanted to go back to the house to repair, and then visit Zhang Shangqi in the afternoon, and by the way, he gave the gadgets he made to Mrs. Zhang and others.
After returning home, He Miao sent the prepared notice, Xiao Man hurriedly glanced at it, and after making sure that there was no problem, he asked the other party to copy two copies, one was posted at the door of the county lord's mansion, and the other was sent to Hao Yixuan.
Things were almost busy, Xiao Man stuffed a few mouthfuls of food, changed his clothes again, and took a carriage to Zhang's mansion.
It's been less than a few hours since she came back, but she has already run so many places, not to mention Xiaoman, even Jade regretted coming back with Xiaoman, she couldn't help complaining: "I knew this, I might as well not come to participate in the Lantern Festival." ”
Xiao Man in the carriage couldn't help but smile and asked jokingly, "Do you still envy pearls now?" ”
"No more envy." Jade sighed regretfully, "From now on, I will never complain that Madame brought pearls into the city, and with my physique, it is still suitable to stay in the suburbs." ”
"I think you're better off in bed." Xiao Man teased.
Jade pouted, and shot back without weakness: "I want to lie in bed all day long, but it's a pity that Madame can't do without me, what can I do." ”
After saying that, Jade also pretended to shrug her shoulders helplessly.
Seeing this, Xiao Man couldn't help but stretch out his hand and pinch the other party's face, crying and laughing: "Jade, you have such a mouth, it's a pity not to tell stories in the teahouse!" ”
The master and servant laughed, and the carriage also arrived at Zhang's mansion.
Before entering the house, Xiao Man was told by the little maid at the door that Lord Zhang, Mrs. Zhang, Mrs. Zhou, and Miss Zhou, the family went out before noon, and I am afraid it will take a while to come back, and I will not be able to see Xiao Man in a short time.
"They're all out?" Xiao Man couldn't believe it.
The little servant bowed his head and responded: "Back to the county lord, yes, the lord, the lady, as well as Aunt Zhou and Miss Zhou have all gone out, it is said that they are going to Lord Ouyang's house for dinner, and they have just left not long ago." ”
The whole family went out, and it was too unfortunate to come by themselves.
In this case, Xiao Man had no choice but to ask, "Then do you know when they will come back?" Or, do you know what they're going to do? ”
"The little one doesn't know, I only vaguely heard that I want to find a husband for Miss Zhou, it just so happens that Lord Ouyang has a son who is about the same age as Miss Zhou, and Lord Zhang and Lord Ouyang have a good relationship, so the two families want to take the opportunity to eat to see if it is suitable for each other."
It turned out to be for Zhou Xiaoxiao's business, so it seems that he really can't wait for Master Zhang in a short time.
Xiao Man sighed a little helplessly, "In that case, let's go first, and when Lord Zhang comes back, please tell him that I have something to look for him, and if you have time, you can go to the county lord's mansion to find me." ”
"Yes, the minion made a note of it."
After going down the steps, Xiao Man couldn't help but glance back at Zhang's mansion, but happened to bump into two small guys gathered at the door, as if discussing something in a low voice.
