Chapter 21: The Deliberation Fails
"You must go to the county lord's mansion at this moment, let the coachman send you over, and I'll go in first." After Cen Beisheng finished speaking, he gently lifted the curtain of the carriage and jumped out of the carriage, and the carriage immediately drove towards the county lord's mansion.
Zhou Ziwei got out of the carriage in front of the county lord's mansion, and the people from the county lord's mansion knew Zhou Ziwei, so they asked Zhou Ziwei to wait for a while, and sent someone in to report, and after a while, a maid walked in and looked at Zhou Ziwei with a smile.
"Zhou Gongzi, please."
Zhou Ziwei came to the front hall under the leadership of the maid, and the county lord was still wearing a bewitching red wide-sleeved skirt, half-leaning and half-leaning on the position, with an unfathomable smile on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were full of exploration and suspicion.
Zhou Ziwei walked into the front hall and saluted with fists, "The subordinates have seen the county lord." ”
The county lord, who was originally playing with the jade pendant in his hand, slowly raised his head when he heard this, the county lord was already suspicious, and Zhou Ziwei and Cen Beisheng had gotten along closely in recent days, so he was very unhappy in his heart.
"Sect Zhou is here? What kind of wind is this that blows Zhou's teachings over today. ”
The county lord insinuated, and Zhou Ziwei's words made Zhou Ziwei stunned, and it could be seen that the county lord was in a bad mood today, but it was impossible for him to say it on the day when the county lord was in a good mood, Zhou Ziwei decided, let's go hard.
"The subordinates ask the county lord for forgiveness, the subordinates have been pondering one thing recently, and they have been visiting the county lord in the future, it is a dereliction of duty by the subordinates, and I hope the county lord will forgive."
Although Zhou Ziwei said apologies, her expression did not show any meanness, Zhou Ziwei knew that this was not her own reason, so she did not ask for the forgiveness of the county lord, she just said decent words.
"Oh, really, Sect Zhou might as well tell the county lord what made Sect Zhou difficult."
The county lord looked at Zhou Ziwei standing upright in front of him with interest, not in a hurry, and quietly looked at Zhou Ziwei in his eyes, did she really choose the right person? Can she really be used for herself?
"The county lord, his subordinates have found a problem in the countryside, there is no school in the countryside, and those children have no chance to go to school, but the county lord also knows that education is the foundation of the whole country."
"As the so-called youth is strong, the country is strong, and the youth is rich, the country is negative, only education can change the current form of the country, so we must increase the intensity of education, learn in the countryside, so that many children from poor families can also participate in learning and learn all kinds of knowledge."
Zhou Ziwei didn't know why, such a sentence suddenly popped up in her head, and she said it, but she was sorry for those celebrities, and she used their words again.
"Building a school, doesn't Sect Zhou think it's a simple matter?"
"Back to the county lord, the subordinates are not a joke, the county lord will see if it is suitable."
Zhou Ziwei looked at the county lord, and at this moment, the county lord put down the jade pendant in his hand and sighed with some regret.
"But it takes a lot of money to build a school, it's not a small amount, and it also needs some people to guide together, is it worth the cost?"
The words of the county lord have clearly made her position clear, she is not very willing to spend money on the people, she wants status.
Zhou Ziwei had already guessed such a situation, but Zhou Ziwei did not give up, "County Lord, as long as the school is built and the children can go to school, the people will definitely thank the county lord at that time, so that the development of Wanping County will definitely be thriving, and at that time, the county lord will not be a big project in Wanping County?" ”
The county lord can feel that Zhou Mingshu has already affected his own interests, Zhou Mingshu and Cen Beisheng are investigating the matter of the mine, she has also heard about it, and she knows the inside story of the mine, but she just turns a blind eye.
But now Zhou Mingshu actually dared to ask herself, which made her a little unhappy, besides, building a school was originally a benefit, not an obvious thing, she was unwilling to consume materials and energy.
"Forget it, the county lord is lacking today, Zhou Jiao will go down, and discuss it another day."
After speaking, the county lord leaned lazily towards his seat, lay back to his previous position, waved his hand gently, and motioned for Zhou Mingshu to step back.
Zhou Ziwei knew that it would be useless to stay, so she had no choice but to bow and quietly retreat.
Zhou Ziwei went back dejectedly, Cen Beisheng saw Zhou Ziwei's gray face, and he felt a little funny, Cen Beisheng had already guessed that the county lord would probably not agree, and sure enough, he guessed correctly.
"Brother Zhou, your head is going to drop to the ground." Cen Beisheng saw that Zhou Mingshu was so helpless and depressed, and couldn't help but want to make fun of him.
"Brother Cen, it's all this time, you still want to make fun of me, it's really a bit of a fallout."
Zhou Ziwei glanced at Cen Beisheng weakly, her current mood was full of passion and was extinguished by a basin of cold water.
"Okay, it's my fault, I shouldn't make fun of Brother Zhou, but looking at Brother Zhou's situation, it's obvious that the county lord didn't agree to build the school."
"Hmm." Zhou Ziwei hummed softly, and then said no more.
"Is Brother Zhou going to give up then?"
"What else can I do if I don't give up, I don't have so much money, and I don't have anyone, how can I run the school."
Zhou Ziwei walked to the table and poured a cup of tea, after going to the county lord's mansion for so long, the county lord didn't give him a cup of tea, she was thirsty.
"Since Brother Zhou gave up so easily, then I still want to say that I can contribute some money and people to help Brother Zhou, it seems that it is unnecessary."
"What?"
Zhou Ziwei hurriedly put down the cup in her hand and looked at Cen Beisheng excitedly.
"No, Brother Zhou didn't hear it, just because I didn't speak just now." Cen Beisheng had a wicked smile on the corner of his mouth, looking at Zhou Mingshu's colorful expression, he actually felt funny.
"No, I heard it, Brother Cen is willing to contribute some financial resources and manpower, Brother Cen is kind, I Zhou Zi...... Zhou Mingshu is toothless and unforgettable. ”
Zhou Ziwei was excited for a while, and almost subconsciously called out her name, but fortunately Cen Beisheng didn't notice it.
"Okay, there's nothing, this thing still depends on your teaching, I can only support Brother Zhou mentally." Cen Beisheng looked at Zhou Ziwei as if he was looking at his parents, and suddenly felt weird, and hurriedly avoided Zhou Ziwei's enthusiastic gaze.
"Okay, Brother Cen's support is enough, thank you Brother Cen, the rest is up to me."
Zhou Ziwei is energetic again, and the person who was depressed just now, like two people, now that she has the strength again, she has to do big things.
"By the way, Brother Cen, look at these, this is a way that I suddenly came up with, so that I can accurately help those in need and avoid wasting resources."
