Chapter 16: Industry
Old lady Zhu was in the way of the face of Lu Zhifu, so she had to smile and greet with words of "false praise" and "don't dare", and unfolded Zhu Youning's rolling paper.
The font of "Qingqi" unsurprisingly caused great reading difficulties to Mrs. Zhu.
But Mrs. Zhu's reaction was the same as that of the talented Lu Governor's Mansion, only at the beginning she frowned frequently and shook her head again and again, as if she couldn't stand the words that lost her pen and drew less and relied on guessing. But as the content deepened, the old lady's expression also became condensed, and he even reread the test paper twice.
Everyone was already very curious about what Zhu Youning had written, Governor Lu reacted like this, and Old Lady Zhu looked like this, which made everyone even more curious, and they stretched their necks to look, and the buzzing discussion spread like a tide.
Zhu Youning secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Although she didn't know much about the affairs of the Zhu family's business, through her life and observation during this time, she already knew about what stage the economic development of the country and the dynasty had reached.
After knowing some history and reading "Capital", Zhu Youning used his superficial literary level to make an argument at the beginning of the policy: The future development of the Zhu family must depend on the general policy of the development of the country.
Then he roughly analyzed the direction of economic development in this era, and quoted some well-remembered quotes from Capital.
In short, she did her best to write this "composition".
As for the outcome, she is also powerless.
Zhu Youning lowered his head and fiddled with the corners of his coarse cloth, looking like he was not doing anything, which was in stark contrast to the few cousins around him who were anxiously waiting for the results.
Zhu Yanlan and Zhu Yanping's worries were written on their faces, even if Zhu Yanfeng was so calm, his smile couldn't help but become faint at this time.
These people, since childhood, are striving to inherit the family business in the future, and their unique and sharp vision and judgment of the situation are indispensable abilities for a qualified family owner.
So today's first two questions are just hors d'oeuvres, and the third question is the most important thing that determines their status in the minds of their elders.
Zhu Yanfeng has lost the first two questions, which is an unprecedented blow to him, and looking at the reactions of Old Lady Zhu and Governor Lu, Zhu Yanfeng can't control his expression a little.
After a while, Governor Lu and the four old ladies all stood up and walked slowly into the clearing.
Old lady Zhu's laughing Maitreya Buddha generally raised his hands and pressed it, and the discussion of the onlookers weakened.
"Today's three-question competition has ended, and now I will ask Governor Lu to announce the results of the third question." Old Lady Zhu turned around, smiled politely and stepped aside.
Governor Lu stepped forward with a smile on his face, "This mansion is fortunate to be able to visit the Zhu family's annual prosperity today, which is really an eye-opener!" The Zhu family really lives up to the inheritance of the century-old family, and with such an attitude of doing its best to cultivate and select talents, it is worth learning from this house. ”
"The prefect is really ridiculous, and the old man is terrified." Old lady Zhu smiled and waved his hand.
Lu Zhifu and Mrs. Zhu praised each other and exchanged pleasantries, and then said: "Today's strategy for the third question, Peng Gongzi's performance is decent, Ping Gongzi's concept is conservative, Lan Gongzi's ideas are too ideal and exaggerated, Qiu Gongzi and Feng Gongzi's are unique and meticulous in analysis, but Feng Gongzi's is better than the idea. is the first name of the third question, Feng Gongzi. ”
When the words fell, I saw Zhu Huazhang have a smug smile on his face.
Zhu Yanfeng's white fists hidden behind his back gradually relaxed.
"Still." Governor Lu spoke again, successfully focusing everyone's attention, "What surprised this mansion the most today was Miss Jiu's strategy. ”
Zhu Youning raised his head and looked at Governor Lu with a blushing face.
Lu Zhifu said with a smile: "Miss Nine is young, and her acupuncture is quite exciting, and her ideas are novel and the pattern is huge, not confined to a corner of the Zhu family, but broad-minded, so that the mansion is refreshing after reading it." ”
Zhu Youning's face turned even redder.
"But." Governor Lu deliberately paused for a moment, and then said with some sadness, "The fly in the ointment is that Miss Nine's roll is too sloppy, and there are too many typos. However, Miss Nine is still young and has not yet gone to school, so it is good to be able to reach such a level, give you a second, I hope you don't be proud. It's good to practice more words in the future. ”
Zhu Youning nodded with a flushed face, it's good now, everyone knows that her ugly words can't stand it.
The people laughed good-naturedly.
Zhu Huating also smiled with joy, he hadn't felt like this for a long time.
And Zhu Yanfeng's hands were already tightly clenched into fists, his teeth were clenched, and the smile on his face was stiff.
He thought that the third question was worthy of his name. But the words of the prefect of Lu clearly told everyone that Zhu Youning's strategy was better than his own in all aspects, and he was only rated second because the words were too bad.
He is a leader who has studied at home for many years, but now he is pressed by a seven-year-old girl who has never attended home school for a day.
How will he behave in the future?
Not only Zhu Yanfeng, but the rest of the cousins more or less felt this way.
Lu Zhifu's eyes swept over these teenagers who participated in the competition, and sighed in his heart with a smile: In the end, he is young, and he is not good at hiding his emotions perfectly.
"Old lady Zhu, there are other things to do in this mansion, so I won't stay longer. The next ranking of the main government will not participate, so I will take someone to copy a copy of Miss Nine's strategy, and I will leave. ”
Several old ladies were busy keeping it, and when they saw that Governor Lu had made up their minds, they went to see each other off.
Seeing that Governor Lu was leaving, he didn't forget to copy a copy of Zhu Youning's strategy, and everyone was even more curious about what she wrote.
Zhu Huazhang was expressionless and just stared at Zhu Huating in the crowd.
Zhu Youning and several cousins also stood quietly waiting for the old lady to announce the family property.
After Governor Lu quickly transcribed his farewell, when he went out, his master said: "This ninth lady of the Zhu family is very smart, not simple." ”
Lu Zhifu smiled and shook his head: "Eighty percent is where she used it from in the past and used it today, otherwise wouldn't a seven-year-old girl be a sperm?" ”
"And the adults still hold her up like that?" The master was very surprised.
Governor Lu said: "Raise her, this scene is interesting." Isn't it good for the Zhu family to mess around? ”
The master understood and laughed tacitly with Governor Lu.

Old lady Zhu returned to the open space in front of the ancestral hall and raised her hand to signal everyone to be quiet.
"The results of today's competition are already visible to all. Brother Feng, Brother Qiu, Brother Peng, Nine Girls, performed well, according to the old rules, each person will be given the right to operate one main and one deputy two industries, for a period of one year to assess the results. ”
When Zhu Youning heard this, he breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart and looked at Zhu Huating with a smile.
Zhu Huating's nose was already sour, and tears almost fell.
He couldn't have imagined that his Fu Ya'er would actually get things done!
As for why the top three were not taken according to the rules of five or six people participating in the competition in previous years, but the top four were taken, the father and daughter in the joy did not immediately notice.
Until the old lady announced which property each person was allotted.
