Hearing him say that he didn't like power struggles, Chang Suining said: "But Mr. Zheng's reputation has been raised, and under the combined forces of all parties, celebrities and celebrities are also one of the resources that need to be co-opted and contested." Huaibi is also a sin, whether to enter the fighting arena or not, many times I am afraid that it is not up to the gentleman himself. ”

"That's true." Zheng Chao did not deny it, and sighed: "I can't hide it, I went all the way, passed through several places, and was almost forced to stay, and repeatedly moved out of Ling'an's name with both soft and hard methods, so I barely managed to get out." ”

At this point, he frankly clarified his intention: "Therefore, Zheng Mou dared to enter the treasure land of Jiangdu to seek the protection of Lord Assassin Shi. ”

Now that everyone knows Chang Sui's prestige, no one dares to provoke her, he has entered Jiangdu, and those people can't reach out to grab it.

Chang Sui Ning smiled noncommittally: "It turns out that Mr. Guancang regards Jiangdu as a place to avoid trouble. ”

Zheng Chao got up at the right time, raised his hand and saluted Chang Sui Ning, who was headed: "Zheng is not good at making trouble, although he can't enter the assassination mansion, but he is willing to recommend himself to enter the Wuer Academy, and seek a teaching position. ”

From the beginning to the end, what he asked for was not officialdom, but wanted to use what he had learned to teach the world.

This is the ego and self that Zheng Chao has recognized in the past year.

And the stage that can really allow him to display his ambitions with peace of mind, looking at the world today, only Jiang can give it.

He also knew that even if he didn't enter the Assassin Mansion to seek work, but entered the Wuji Academy to teach, it was equivalent to serving Chang Sui Ning, and it was also another kind of political side, but he was not surprised by people's eyes - and took 10,000 steps back and said, even if Lai Sui Ning really had an uneasy heart, and even if the situation in Jiangdu collapsed, he at least had a nephew, and it would still work for his nephew to come forward to protect his life.

Looking at Zheng Chao, who sincerely recommended himself, Chang Suining smiled knowingly.

She knew she was right.

Everyone has different ambitions, from the very beginning, Zheng Chao, the "Mr. Caotang", has only been above the world's learning.

The fundamental contradiction between him and the Zheng clan lies in his ambition and obsession.

A person with such a heart is destined to be unsuitable for joining the power field, and power and struggle are whirlpools for him, bringing him only wear and tear and imprisonment.

The existence of the Wubi Temple, for such people, is like a tailor-made sack.

Chang Sui Ning knew that Zheng Chao was not here for her, this kind of person, his heart was filled with his own obsession and ideals, and it was difficult to be impressed by other people and other things, which was probably one of the reasons why King Rong was still difficult to impress although he had a benevolent name.

But Chang Suining didn't mind.

There are many kinds of people in the world, and not everyone should be loyal to her.

The stable relationship in this world is not only subordinate and overpowering, but also the relationship between like-minded peers in a certain matter is also very long-lasting.

She wants Zheng Chao to come, and Zheng Chao is here, this is her skill, for her, this is enough.

However, she could not agree to Zheng Chao's self-recommendation.

She smiled and said, "I have never questioned the knowledge and ability of Mr., but now the number of Mr. Teach in the Chinese Hall and the Arithmetic Hall of the Wuji Academy is far enough." ”

Zheng Chao raised his head slightly in astonishment - is this a rejection of him?

He knew that Jiangdu was now a holy place in the eyes of many literati, and she must not lack people to teach, but with his reputation and talent...... Even if it's full, even if you force him in, it shouldn't be too much, right?

Originally, Zheng Chao still had this confidence, after all, he is really in demand now.

Could it be ...... If you take the initiative to send it to the door, are you destined not to be cherished?

Zheng Chao doubted his life and self for a moment.

"Mr. Guancang, don't be in a hurry to make a decision first." Chang Sui Ning also got up and invited: "It's not too late, Mr. might as well follow me to Wuyi Courtyard to have a look." ”

Although Zheng Chao was puzzled, he still nodded.

Chang Sui Ning went back first to change out of his official uniform and put on a simple robe.

This is obviously also a new robe, Chang Sui Ning has been away in Jiangdu for half a year, every time the weaving and embroidery workshop sends new materials and new embroidery samples, Xi'er makes clothes for her own girl and saves two large boxes - in the words of Granny Jin, the new pattern should be worn out by Lord Shi first, so as to better sell it.

At this time, Chang Suining wore this moon green robe, covered with light yarn, on which the latest embroidery method of Yangzhou, the capital of Jiangdu, was embroidered with peacock fairy feathers with silver threads, the roots were lifelike, clear and bright, and when they walked, it was just like fairy feathers moving with the wind.

Even people like Zheng Chao, who didn't care about elegant clothes, couldn't help but praise twice when they saw it.

"The clothing and embroidery are all produced by the Jiangdu Weaving and Embroidery Workshop." Chang Suining smiled and said, "Go back and cut one for Mr." ”

Zheng Chao's polite refusal came to his lips, but it turned into a thank you - beautiful clothes are not important, but if you want to tailor him, he must have a chance to stay, right?

"How did the gentleman come here?" Chang Sui Ning walked out with Zheng Chao and asked, "Are there any horses?" ”

Zheng Chao: "There is only one skinny donkey." ”

Originally, there were horses, and they were all good horses given by nephews, but they were all sold...... It's just that the nephews are so good at eating.

Chang Suining explained to his side: "Ani, let someone prepare a carriage for Mr." ”

The carriage and horses were soon ready, Zheng Chao got into the carriage outside the Assassin's Mansion and followed Chang Suining in the direction of Wueryuan.

Passing through the market, the carriages and horses were slow, listening to the noise outside, Zheng Chao looked through the carved and hollow car windows, and saw a lively scene everywhere.

It was clearly afternoon, but when he passed a street market, he saw that many vendors on both sides had just arrived and were busy setting up stalls.

On the way to Jiangdu, there were no curfews in many places Zheng Chao saw, but there were still very few people who came out to walk around at night, no one dared to come out, and no one had the heart to come out to hang out.

In contrast, it can be seen that Jiangdu has stable public order and the people's hearts are safe.

After passing through a long street, the carriages and horses became slower and slower, and there was a temporary jam, Zheng Chao simply pushed the window of the car, looked ahead, and saw many people dressed as literati in front of a restaurant in front of him.

Originally, there were several celebrities who wrote poems here, and one of them drank wine and chanted poems in the fence on the second floor, throwing down a pile of poems written when he was drunk, causing the people downstairs to rush up.

Soon, a patrol officer stepped forward and evacuated the crowd of people.

Further on, Zheng Chao saw a few exotic-faced merchants leading a camel with two cages hanging on its back, and the bells jingled to a group of children running to follow.

In the alley on one side, a group of women in coarse cloth clothes walked out laughing, most of them wrapped in headscarves and pulled up their sleeves, looking like they had just finished work.

Zheng Chao looked at it again and again, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

He has passed through many places this year, and what he has seen is nothing more than two scenes, either falling and destroying, or seemingly stable, but in fact secretly gathering momentum and gathering swords and storms.

Jiangdu actually belongs to the third type.

There are builds and reshapes here, and the weather is sunny and breezy and light.

To put it simply, it gives people the feeling that everyone is down-to-earth, diligent, serious in studying the way of life, and living a good life.

Zheng Chao believes that people will show completely different faces and human nature in the situation of falling down and going up, and he himself is no exception.

He liked it so much, the atmosphere was so suitable for him to carry out his education, and he made up his mind to stay.

Otherwise, what if Ling An will move out? I don't know if Chang Assassin can sell personal favors?

But after thinking about it, Ling An doesn't have a name yet, as an uncle, where can he ask for favors?

Zheng Chao's mind was turning, and the carriage had stopped.

In front of the gate of Wuer Courtyard, at this moment, a young man in Chinese clothes was about to enter the courtyard, but was stopped by two scholars, one older and one young.

Young Lang Jun followed his entourage at his side, and the entourage was wrapped in a burden.

"I'm here to bring a change of clothes to my thirteenth uncle, who hasn't returned home for five or six days in order to repair the missing old book...... Why can't I go in and see him? Young Langjun asked dissatisfiedly.

"Gu Erlang and hand over this burden to me, and we will transfer it to Mr. Gu Thirteen......" The older scholar said helplessly: "You better please go back, now all the schools are still in class." ”

Every time the gentlemen who came to the courtyard to look for the Gu family, he had to deliberately pass by the school with the most young girls, attracting the attention of the female students, causing them to have no intention of listening to the class......

Therefore, several stewards in the hospital secretly banned Gu Erlang.

Gu Erlang and the scholar guarding the door were arguing, and Chang Suining and his party had arrived.

Hearing the movement, Gu Erlang subconsciously turned his head to look, only to see a young man with a hosta casually tied with a ponytail jumping off the high horse, and the feathers on the wide and flowing robe were glowing.

Gu Erlang was fascinated for a while, and it wasn't until the young man turned his face that he saw that it was actually an unconcealed woman's face.

To be exact, the most beautiful face he had ever seen...... Even better than him in the mirror.

Gu Erlang's eyes almost widened and he was stunned.

Chang Suining had already taken Zheng Chao to here.

The older scholar exclaimed in surprise: "...... It's Lord Thorn! ”

When the plaque was unveiled on July 7 last year, he had seen Chang Suining.

Another little scholar's eyes lit up and he hurriedly saluted respectfully with him.

Gu Erlang was extremely surprised when he heard this, this, this is the rumored Chang Sui Ning?!

How can you be so young and so good-looking!

He naturally heard of Chang Suining's age and appearance, but because he had never seen it, his impression of this Chang Sui Ning was mostly only in the memories of the other party "blackmailing" his family's collection of books and clansmen, and enslaving him to copy books...... At most, there is one more killing and sweeping, and he is in power, and he is a ruthless man who is rare in a century.

In short, it made him disgusted and afraid.

But now I see it...... Gu Erlang looked at that face, and knew that he was superficial in the past!

It wasn't until Chang Suining walked up to him that Gu Erlang returned to his gods and saluted: "...... I've seen Lord Thorn! ”

The scholar on the side said in a timely manner: "Master Assassin Shi, this is the Erlang Jun of the Gu family...... I'm here to deliver something to Mr. Gu Shisan. ”

Chang Sui Ning Ran, it turned out to be Gu Xiu's second son, and it was rumored that the most beautiful and smelly peacock in Jiangdu.

She nodded to this Gu Erlang with a smile and entered the courtyard without stopping.

Seeing that Gu Erlang had no intention of leaving, the scholar whispered with a bitter face: "Gu Erlang, don't embarrass me for waiting......"

"Give them the things......" Gu Erlang interrupted the scholar's words, turned around and left: "Go back with me." ”

He's going home and talking to his father about something!

One of the stewards in the Wuer Courtyard heard that Chang Suining had come in person, and hurriedly came to greet him, and he was very surprised and frightened: "I don't know that Lord Assassin Shi is coming, and I have missed the welcome!" ”

This steward surnamed Mao, who is about forty years old, is one of the literati found when Chang Sui Ning made a literary crusade against Xu Zhengye, and Lu Xiucai is a good friend.

"Rise up temporarily, come and have a look, don't alarm everywhere." Chang Suining smiled and introduced: "This is Zheng Chao, Mr. Zheng." ”

Steward Mao was very surprised when he heard this, Mr. Zheng Chao Zheng in Xingyang?

He couldn't help but be in awe: "In Xiashou Prefecture Maoze, I have long admired Mr. Zheng's name!" ”

Zheng Chao smiled and raised his hand to return the salute.

Hearing Chang Suining propose to take a look around, Steward Mao enthusiastically led the way.

In the Literature Museum, the students of each school were in class, and when they saw the big face of Steward Mao suddenly appear outside the window, the two students who were originally a little sleepy were frightened and quickly sat up straight.

As soon as Chang Suining saw the students in class for the first time, he also came to the window and looked into the school.

There was an immediate commotion in the hall.

"Silence, silence!" Mr. Lecture knocked on the ring ruler, and his serious gaze swept towards Chang Suining, who was agitated.

A Gu family Erlang is annoying enough, which beautiful conspicuous bag is this? He even came to harm his young students!

Why don't you see these conspicuous bags going to the school next door? It was full of old literati in their thirties.

Next door next door, there is also the Mengtong class, but I don't see these people going - together with the old and the young, and pick the scourge in the middle!

After class later, he will have to find a few stewards to talk about it!

The gentleman was so angry that he even glared at Chang Suining.

Chang Suining immediately retreated with interest.

When he went to the arithmetic hall again, Chang Suining had experience, so he didn't come forward again.

Out of the arithmetic hall, there is the medical hall, where the students are no longer confined to the classroom, a few female students are drying herbs in the hospital, and some people are guarding the medicine jars on the stove under the corridor.

When I came to the engineering hall, it was much more noisy, with banging, chiseling, and quarrels.

"My ancestors have been carpenters for eight generations, and if I say it doesn't work, it won't work!" A craftsman dressed in a short beater, sawing something, said, "Everything in the book may not be trusted...... Only those who have it will know! ”

Another man who looked like a literati was unconvinced, and snatched the saw in his hand: "Then I'll give it a try, I don't believe it today!" The rare books handed down by the Mo family, how can there be a fake! ”

The two were stubborn, and during the quarrel, more and more craftsmen and apprentices surrounded each other, and the voices of the crowd were mixed.

Chang Suining prevented Steward Mao from coming forward to persuade him that only when there are disagreements and disputes can there be progress.

She and Zheng Chao finally came to the Agricultural Science Museum.

Due to the need for on-site planting and breeding, the agricultural museum occupies the largest area of the five museums, and the school hall occupies most of the backyard of the second courtyard. Outside the backyard, several acres of vacant land have been expanded for use.

In the Agricultural Science Museum, Zheng Chao unexpectedly met a young old man.

"Uncle Zheng!" Seeing Zheng Chao, Yuan Hao was also surprised.

It's the end of the month, ask for a monthly pass, thank you!

Thank you for a spark, the heroine, please don't suddenly drop your intelligence, book friends 20230911215940209, book friends 33021204301270, Feng Xiaojiu and other book friends for a long time!
