Zhu Huazhang said in a deep voice: "Dad, although the nine girls are excellent, they are a girl in the end. This is not in line with the rules set by our family. ”

The third master, Zhu Huaxian, also said: "What the second brother said is true. Our Zhu family has many heirs, excellent sons and daughters abound, and the female generation just stays in the boudoir and honestly embroiders to be married, so why let her go to the family school to disturb the rules? ”

Zhu Youning lowered his eyes, the second uncle and the third uncle must be the most fiercely opposed. said that it was high-sounding, what woman can't go to home school, in fact, they are worried that she will enter home school, which is the first step for the old lady to recover Zhu Huating.

After entering the family school, she continued to be in charge of the industry and changed her name, the cake is so big, and there is one more person to share, which will obviously touch the interests of many people, especially Zhu Huating and Zhu Huaxian.

Old lady Zhu was silent.

"That's what the second cousin said." The fourth old man also said, "As the saying goes, a woman's lack of talent is virtue, she can have food and clothing, let her grow up and marry, the old lady is now using so much heart, in the future, she will not turn her elbow out?" There's really no need to waste any more time on her. ”

"I also think that the matter of the nine girls entering the family to learn is debatable, there are excellent men in our Zhu family, how many people have cut their heads and want to study, why do you want a girl?"

The rest of those who are friendly with Zhu Huazhang and Zhu Huaxian, or don't want Zhu Huating to recover, or are worried that Zhu Youning will get a piece of the pie in the future, are also opposed.

"The eldest brother is eclectic in employing people, and I think it's very good." The fourth old lady said, "What's wrong with the girl?" The eldest brother didn't say that he would let all the ordinary girls go, but only chose one of the nine girls. The nine girls are talented, and it is a loss to her to be able to join the imperial merchants this time, and she is now a rose person, the old man thinks that there is nothing wrong with letting the nine girls go to study at home. ”

Zhu Huazhang and Zhu Huaxian glanced at the four old ladies together.

The fourth master, Zhu Huajun, was even more angry, but he didn't expect that it was his father who stood up and demolished the stage!

The competition for the head of the Zhu family has always been passed down from generation to generation, and the outstanding people in the next generation are selected. There are no outstanding talents in the four-room "Hua" generation, and the competitiveness is not strong.

The fourth old lady knows that Zhu Huajun's catties and taels are not brainy, and the resources and connections are not as sufficient as that of the old lady Zhu's children and grandchildren, anyway, it is difficult for Zhu Huajun to be the patriarch, it is better to muddy the water, and it is better to see the liveliness of the long house.

Many people have also come back to their senses, and out of the psychology of not being afraid of the high stage when watching the play, they have also supported Zhu Youning's enrollment.

For a time, there was mixed support and opposition.

Zhu Youning didn't say a word, quietly listened to everyone's various remarks, at this time she was not qualified to speak for herself, whether she went to study at home or not, in fact, she all looked at the old lady's words in the end.

If Mrs. Zhu agrees, she can be enrolled even if everyone opposes him. If the old lady doesn't have this heart, it's useless for others to say that they have broken their mouths.

Old lady Zhu was eating tea, quietly listening to the heated arguments of the crowd.

Soon, everyone found that Mrs. Zhu hadn't expressed his position for a long time, and they couldn't help but quiet down.

Only then did Mrs. Zhu put down the blue and white bowl, and said with a smile: "The nine girls are talented and intelligent, and they are good at cultivating students, which is also a help for the Zhu family." ”

Everyone disagreed, could it be that the Zhu family lacked the help of a little girl? But no one wants to make a bird to open this mouth again.

Old lady Zhu said again: "Since you don't object to it, then it's decided." Nine girls will go to study at home from tomorrow. Although our family study is mainly to teach business, but also teach the four books and five classics, you have a poor foundation, go in and learn first, don't live up to my expectations. ”

Zhu Youning replied respectfully when he heard this: "Yes, thank you grandfather for your teachings." ”

Everyone looked at each other. Although most people were not convinced, Old Lady Zhu spoke as the patriarch, and everyone was helpless.

Seeing that this matter had been settled, who knew that an old man's angry voice suddenly came from outside the door: "I don't agree!" ”

Zhu Youning was startled by the sudden sound and hurriedly looked at the door.

I saw Zhu Yanfeng, who was dressed in light gray and straight clothes, helping an old man of medium height, with a clear beard and white hair, to enter the door.

The old man looked to be at least eighty years old, his face was full of wrinkles, the skin of his eyelids was drooping in the room, and there were obvious age spots on his cheeks and cheekbones, but his face was ruddy, his eyes were bright, and his white beard was stubbornly cocked, and he looked like a powerful old man full of wisdom.

Old Lady Zhu had already stood up and swept the floor respectfully, "Teacher! How did you get here. ”

Everyone also saluted in unison, "Mr. Luo is well." ”

Mr. Luo strode to the main seat, and when he passed by Zhu Youning's side, his sharp eyes swept over her face, and he snorted dissatisfiedly.

Zhu Youning knew this person. It can be said that there is no one in the entire Zhu family who does not know the origin of this person.

Luo Xun, whose words are vertical and horizontal, is now ninety-two years old. In the twenty-second year of Dacheng, when he served as the editor of the Hanlin Academy, he angered Yuanzong because his words were too fierce when he entered the speech, and he was dismissed from his post and sent back to his hometown.

Luo Xun is full of talent, but he is still poor and sour, and he has an arrogant temper, so he was very poor for a while.

That is, when he was at his worst, the head of the Zhu family hired him to come to the house to make a western seat and teach his children and grandchildren to read.

He taught in the Zhu family for sixty-four years, witnessing the replacement of three generations of the Zhu family, from a west seat to the head of the Zhu family.

He was never married in his life, and had no children or daughters.

Although he taught and educated people, there were only three disciples in the room, and only one per generation.

His first disciple was Old Lady Zhu's fourth uncle, the patriarch of the previous generation.

The second is Old Lady Zhu, the current patriarch.

The third disciple is Zhu Huating.

In the memory of Zhu Youning's body, there are often words of his father's worship of his teacher. Zhu Huating has followed Luo Xun since enlightenment. Although Luo Xun is old enough to be his grandfather, in Zhu Huating's heart, his mentor is still like a father.

It's just that after Zhu Huating's accident, Luo Xun immediately turned his face ruthlessly, broke off the master-apprentice relationship with Zhu Huating, closed the door to Zhu Huating when he was in the most difficult time, and never lent a helping hand. caused Zhu Youning to forget that there was such a person.

Unexpectedly, when she entered the family to study, she would be surprised by such a big Buddha.

Zhu Youning couldn't help but look at Zhu Yanfeng. It seems that Zhu Yanfeng and Luo Xun have a very close relationship, and he thinks that he is the fourth disciple of Luo Xun who wants to be the fourth disciple of Luo Xun.

Luo Xun sat in the first place, his gaze swept over the audience, and finally landed on Zhu Youning's body, his voice was old and full of intimidation, and he said sonorously: "Do you want to accept her as a student of homeschool?" I disagree. ”
