The young man in brocade looked at the little baby with a smile and asked, "This is ......?"

Huaizi hurriedly said: "This is the son of the eldest brother." Soybeans, while playing, don't make trouble here. ”

When the young man in brocade heard that he was Aoki's son, he smiled and touched his head and teased him: "I just said that if I eat here often and spend more money, my father and mother will scold me." How do you say it is good? ”

Hearing this, Huang Dou looked at the full plates on the table, and said to him seriously: "Then you will order less food every time." Money is to save money, and it is not easy for your father and mother to earn money. You don't want to eat, the rice is expensive, eat the fruit cake, that one penny a penny, cheap. Eat two fruit cakes and two plates of greens to be full. It only cost three cents in total. If you feel hungry, I'll teach you a method: you eat vegetables and look at the meat at the same time, which is called 'looking at plums to quench your thirst'. ”

Everyone laughed.

The young man in brocade thought that he had never encountered this battle, pointed to the soybean and stammered: "You...... You...... I ......"

Zhang Huai also couldn't stop laughing, hurriedly pulled soybeans to his side, told him not to talk nonsense, and said apologetically to the young man: "The little baby has no door to the door, and he likes to talk nonsense." ”

Huang Dou didn't say: "I'm not talking nonsense, is living a life meant to save?" If he had spent a lot of money, his father might have spanked him when he went home. ”

The crowd continued to laugh, but they could not eat.

The rough-clothed young man next door finally stopped laughing, and said to the brocade-clothed young man: "This is Huang Fuzi's little disciple, don't underestimate him." "He had seen soybeans at Old Man Huang's house.

The brocade-clothed boy shook his head and smiled, while his companion pulled the soybean over and asked.

Huaizi said to the rough-dressed young man: "If you are particularly embarrassed, you might as well go to a private school to teach." Earn some silver taels. The village will take extra care of poor students. ”

The young man said regretfully: "It's late to come down, and the village private school has already found a good husband." Didn't Brother Zhang's family also find four! That Wen Xiucai is still my classmate. He also boasted to me before, saying that he didn't have to worry about the cost of studying this time. ”

Huaizi hurriedly said: "There are a lot of children in our two families who hire workers and tenants, a total of more than one hundred and forty students. Qualifications vary. There are also old and young, and there are too many people in two shifts. I'm going to divide them into three shifts and find two more people. Otherwise, it's too tiring for Wen Xiu to be the four of them. After all, you are here to study, not to teach, and I dare not delay you. ”

The rough-dressed young man was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly asked Zhang Huai to help him reserve a place.

Laughing, many of these people who saw the food were half-grown teenagers, and they didn't look like guys. asked Zhang Huai what was going on.

Zhang Huai told them that this was the child of the Zhang family's private school, and he allowed them to come here at noon or dinner to help out and earn some errand money.

Everyone was surprised, and some even felt that this was inappropriate. Speak out and be comforted. Because at this time, everyone had a good impression of the Zhang and Zheng families, and no one spoke ill of them.

However, the rough young man, who looked like a poor scholar, smiled and said to everyone: "The Zhang family is not a good church, help them go to school and study, do you still have to support them?" Even people like me still have to teach to earn their ropes, so why can't they run away from the classroom? ”

Everyone was stunned and speechless.

Huaizi chuckled, "Actually." The adults in their family are all working in the Zhang family, and life is not unbearable. So they are here to get closer to you. Wouldn't it be better if you could be edified? After all, there are different market restaurants here, and it is really 'talking and laughing, and there is no white ding'. Running around here and listening to your high opinions, that is a rare opportunity for them. ”

These words made everyone nod their heads again and again, and they felt more face-saving, so they were relieved.

Huaizi beckoned everyone to eat vegetables again, and said that if they were full, go out to the lake and go around the fields, and then come back for dinner.

Everyone laughed and said that it was too unreasonable to eat like this.

Zhang Huai said with a smile: "If it weren't for the academy here, or if you came to invite each other, you might not come to this mountainous place." Eating a meal is nothing. ”

Everyone became more and more happy when they heard this, and the young man in brocade simply pulled him to sit down and talk, and then dragged the rough-clothed young man next door over and sat around to talk.

Aoki also maneuvered between the seats, and there was no time to spare.

Because a guest asked for braised carp, the gourd was served with five portions, and one was also given to the young man in brocade on the table.

He hurriedly shouted: "We ordered this first, I didn't order it just now, but the little brother remembered it wrong?" ”

Hulu said with a smile: "That's right. This is ordered by someone else, a pot is boiled, and if you divide a few portions, you will share a portion. Otherwise, if you put it out for a long time, the taste will not be fresh. ”

Zhang Huai hurriedly said to everyone: "Let's eat first." I was about to tell you something. ”

He asked the gourd to keep himself busy, and he said, "When the menu was set, we didn't plan to divide the dishes that needed to be made fresh. Because if someone only orders one serving, and others don't order this, the amount is too small, and it is not very convenient to do. If you make more, and wait for someone else to order it, and then serve it to him, the taste will definitely be much worse. ”

The people hurriedly asked, "Why are they divided again?"

Huaizi smiled: "We think that everyone is a scholar, and when the time comes, we will be considerate of this truth, and a few people will make up enough copies and then count." If you really come alone, and you don't have many guests, then you will do it for him alone. For this purpose, we have specially made many small pots and matching stoves. ”

The crowd was amazed.

The rough-dressed young man said: "If you want me to say, Brother Zhang doesn't have to be so particular, he always makes the dishes first, and whoever wants them will pretend to be out." A few pennies in the business, a little worse is not easy for some people to pick and choose. ”

Everyone nodded yes.

Huaizi said with a smile: "Most of the people who eat here are teachers and students of the academy, as long as everyone is considerate, this is not a big deal." It's not possible to do it first, and all kinds of dishes are different. Like this pickled vegetable intestine, pickled pork belly, etc., simmer for a long time on slow fire to absorb the flavor, crispy and salty; All kinds of stewed soups are boiled for a longer time, and the taste is more fragrant; However, stir-fried yellow eel and braised carp are best cooked and eaten to be tender and smooth, and they will not taste like that after a long time. ”

The people were very happy to see him so serious, and they would preach this matter for him, even if someone deliberately made it difficult. They will also argue for him.

The young man in brocade said with a smile: "This dish is cheap and good, if the people from Xiatangji also come to eat, it will be difficult for Brother Zhang to deal with it." ”

Zhang Huai smiled: "He doesn't bother, he traveled so far to have a meal." We'll say hello naturally. However, I am afraid that he will be hungry again when he goes back to Xiatangji. I have to eat a second meal. ”

The crowd laughed.

Enjoy the day like this, and everyone will go home.

Zhang Huai and Aoki were full of joy. Chrysanthemum proposed to open this restaurant, and the second thing to make money was to hand over these readers. Of course, she didn't have any bad intentions, but she just wanted Zhang Huai and Aoki to have more contact with these people to broaden their minds and horizons. Even gourd chestnuts and their juniors can be more edified.

The opening of Tianshang Restaurant was unexpectedly smooth, and even Li Gengtian couldn't say anything, he was very dissatisfied before.

The restaurant is really doing business, and even Xiatangji often has people coming here to eat. For this reason, Zhang Huai set a rule: outsiders come to eat, regardless of the small portion. The point is to follow the usual portion.

Rao still can't stop people from coming to eat under various pretexts.

It just so happened that the results of the case of burning Oak Garden came out, not to find out the main culprit, but as Zhao Yun calculated, a bunch of officials were pulled out, and countless people were involved.

Zhao Yun and Zhang Yang devoted themselves to planning, using old friends, calculating and using people from all sides, in the name of someone obstructing the establishment of the academy. muddied a pool of water, and after Master Zhou said goodbye, he emerged, which made all parties look sideways.

By the end of April, Qingnan Village had gathered 3 to 400 Confucian and literati students. Everyone looked at the hundreds of acres of black and dark mountainous land and listened to the locals describe the good scenery of the oak garden. Thinking that if it weren't for this fire, the academy would definitely be here, and they were furious, so they jointly wrote to the Huzhou Prefecture Government to demand a strict investigation of the case.

In fact, this case has long been transferred to the Criminal Department, and the emperor ordered the three divisions to be tried, and all parties took the opportunity to impeach each other, which led to many people, and it was very lively.

Everyone thought that Master Zhou was behind the scenes, which made the old prime minister angry and made them unlucky. Therefore, they scolded the arson neurosis, except for burning a mountain and killing a few untouchables, and no one was benefited. If it weren't for the confession of Jin Sigui's son, almost everyone would suspect that the Zhang family accidentally caught fire and then relied on others.

Among them, Ding Shangshu, the former official of Linhu Prefecture, was the most aggrieved, because many people suspected that he instructed it.

However, Dali Temple and the Criminal Department tossed for several months, and they couldn't find the teenager who instigated Jin Dajin Er at the beginning, but the more they could prove that the fire was deliberately planned by someone, and even in Xiatangji, some people said that they had seen the young man and the Jin family brothers in one place.

Since it could not be found, in order to appease the people, Emperor Yongping allocated 50,000 taels of silver from the property copied by the officials who were involved in the seizure of the house to compensate the Zhang family.

It's funny to say, the amount of compensation is set at such a high level, and there is a share of the credit of soybeans.

When the holy decree came, in addition to leaving 10,000 taels of silver to compensate for the loss and pay to the hired workers, the remaining 40,000 taels were donated to the academy and the medical school.

When the emperor heard that the Zhang family had moved the ancestral tomb, he authorized Zhang Yang to return to his hometown to worship his ancestors on the day of the opening of the academy, and presided over the grand opening of the academy together with Zhao Yun and Yuan Xianling.

Just when everyone was talking about the blessing of the Zhang family due to misfortune, there was a royal history book to impeach Zhang Yang, saying that his father and brother were treacherous businessmen, and Mingli funded and supported the academy and medical school.

Emperor Yongping frowned when he saw the folds, and felt that as an old prime minister, if his disciples acted like this, he would never sit idly by, and there must be a reason.

So he ordered the prefect of Huzhou to strictly investigate the matter, and ordered the second prince to go south to attend the inauguration ceremony of Qingshan Academy and Bishui Academy on behalf of the imperial court, so as to show the royal family's importance to the academy and the world's scholars.

On the shore of Ningbi Lake in Bishui Huzhou, hence the name, it is just opposite to Qingshan Academy.

Castle Peak College will open on June 1, while Bishui College is scheduled to open on June 10.
