Chapter 56: Routines
Compared with Liuzhou City, Luling County was very lively during this time, and many of the people who escaped from Liuzhou retreated to the local county seat, and Luling County, as the birthplace of Liuzhou's culture and education, was a temporary retreat for many masters.
In the past few days, Gu Beiquan, the newly appointed county commander, has been very busy, and the most important thing is to entertain those well-known teachers who have studied in Liuzhou Mansion.
It can be described as a small banquet on three days and a big banquet on five days, revealing the importance that Luling County attaches to these masters, as a parent official, the posture can be said to be extremely low.
No, early in the morning, he brought the souvenirs he brought from the capital, and planned to visit Feng Fuzi.
This is the master he most wants to stay, he inquired before he came, this Feng Fuzi's original name was Feng Haonian, he was a jinshi of the previous dynasty, and he was extremely famous in Jiangnan, after the establishment of the new dynasty, the imperial court invited him to be an official several times and was politely declined, although his status was not as good as the Huang master of the ghost puppet incident, but he was also a well-known Confucian!
After being invited by the prefect to study and teach, the protΓ©gΓ©s were all over the south of the Yangtze River, and in the past 20 years, the Jinshi taught by his subordinates were no less than 50, and the successive prefects of Liuzhou were polite to them.
Gu Xian Ling rushed to let his subordinates carry the gifts, but when he first arrived at the door, he found that there were already people waiting at the door, and immediately frowned, and said to the little guy: "Go and inquire, who is it?" β
Hearing this, the little servant hurriedly stepped forward to inquire, and after half an hour he came back to the master's sedan chair and reported in a whisper: "Master, I have inquired, it is a businessman who runs the goods, and he came here to buy Feng Fuzi's yard in Liuzhou." β
Gu Beiquan heard at first that he was a businessman, so he was impatient and wanted to drive people directly, but then he heard that he was here to buy Feng Fuzi's house in Liuzhou, and he was stunned: "Liuzhou's house..... is still being bought by someone now?" β
That hell place, dogs don't want to go there now, right?
"I don't know ..... ..... little ones"
As he was talking, the housekeeper of the courtyard had already gone out to invite two groups of people to go in together, Gu Beiquan, as a county official and a new champion, was reluctant to drop the price with a running merchant, but when he thought that the other party was here to buy Feng Fuzi's Liuzhou real estate, he suddenly became a little more patient.
Since Feng Fuzi is willing to see the other party, he must also have the intention of selling the house, if he sells the real estate in Liuzhou, he will be more sure of leaving the other party, after all, Luling County is the hometown of the other party.
Thinking like this, the two groups of people were slowly invited into the hall of the house.
----------------------------------
"Master, I see that Master Gu from Luling County is very sincere, what are you still hesitating about? What's so bad about this Luling County? β
In the bedroom, Feng Fuzi's wife asked while taking care of Feng Fuzi's clothes.
"What do you know?" Feng Fuzi glanced at his old wife: "Although this Luling County is not bad in culture and education, it is only a county after all, how can it be compared with Liuzhou?" β
"The academy in Liuzhou is the reputation that our group of old guys have worked hard for more than 20 years, and where else can it be compared to the school in Nanming Mansion in the entire Jiangnan? The students collected on weekdays are all the top seedlings in the south of the Yangtze River, how many good students can he have in Luling County, no matter how many outstanding people there are? β
"This student is poor, no matter how good the master is, how many jinshi can he teach? If you don't have a jinshi in a few years, do you want my reputation to be public? β
"This ......" Feng Shi also hesitated for a while when he heard this, but thinking of the stammering of the county official in the past few days, he still persuaded: "Isn't the county order a promise, and the good students will be allocated to you first?" β
"Confused!" Feng Fuzi sneered: "That county official is young and only wants to make small profits, and he only thinks about digging the corners of Liuzhou to help his cultural and educational achievements, but have you ever thought that without Liuzhou, how can he Luling County have his current status?" β
"He gave me the best source of students, what about the local master? Those masters have been in Luling County for many years, and their connections and status are all good, and I have offended people when I come up, how will I mix them up in the future? By that short-sighted magistrate? As soon as his three-year term is up, he will leave with his ass, what should I do? β
"Forehead ....." Feng Shi reacted suddenly, and instantly changed his face and said: "This new Zhixian is not a thing, but he is so designed!" β
"That's it!" Feng Fuzi sighed: "When I go out to see the county official, don't say anything, I will deal with it." β
"Then sir, if we don't stay here, where are we going?"
"Look..... I've written to some of my friends in Nanming Mansion to see if I can find a teaching position in the Mansion there."
"Nanming Mansion?" Feng's eyes suddenly lit up: "It's still the master who thinks long-term!" β
Being able to go to Nanming Mansion is better than being in a county town in Luling!
"It's not easy......." Feng Fuzi still looked melancholy, although Nanming Mansion is good, but there are many famous masters, when he was in Liuzhou Academy, he was a top group of masters, and it was different when he arrived in Nanming, and he came from other places, and he wanted to integrate in, which is so simple?
Hey..... I really can't imagine that Master Huang, who has worked with me for 20 years, is actually a monster, and this world is ......
Thinking like this, Feng Fuzi did not delay after getting dressed, and walked quickly to the hall to greet the guests.
Although he doesn't look down on the new county official, after all, he is a parent official and a champion background, so he still has to give some face.
"Let Master Gu wait for a long time......"
"Where, where!" Gu Beiquan hurriedly got up and saluted: "It was the official who disturbed the master's rest." β
"Where are the adults, please sit down, please sit down quickly......"
After a few words of greeting, Feng Fuzi looked at another big man who stood up and saluted and said, "This is Gu Dangjia who wants to buy a house?" β
Hearing this, Gu Beiquan's face twitched, just now the other party was deliberately stammering, and he also coped with a few words, and when he learned that the other party was actually called Gu Bei, he was in a bad mood, what kind of peddler pawn is also worthy of being called this name?
"Excuse me...... Master," Gu Bei said with a smile.
"It's not ...... to bother" The master drank tea and looked at the other party: "Since Gu Dangjia is a maritime businessman, don't you know the current situation in Liuzhou?" β
"Oh oh..... that....." Gu Bei's eyes rolled, and he smiled: "I don't care about that, I wanted to buy a good house in Liuzhou back then, but now the opportunity is rare, as for what kind of messy monster, it's not worth mentioning, I have run a boat over the years, and I don't know how many water ghosts I have killed, what kind of ghost puppet will I be afraid of?" β
Gu Beiquan next to him almost choked on tea when he heard this, and said secretly: This vulgar fool.....
However, he tried his best to suppress the ridicule in his heart, and did not say much, after all, he also hoped that this list would be successful.
Feng Fuzi looked at each other with a smile: "Gu Dangjia has been traveling south and north for so many years, but he is bold." β
Compared with the young Gu Beiquan, Feng Fuzi has more eyes, he has not been in contact with these maritime merchants, although these people have experienced more than ordinary farmers, but the fear of demons and ghosts is even worse, after all, they only know the horror of demons and ghosts, where can they be so indifferent as in front of them?
After thinking about it, he said tentatively: "It's not impossible to buy the old man's house, but the old man was in a hurry at the time, and there are a lot of old things left there, and you have to go and get them back before selling them." β
"Then it doesn't have to be that much trouble!" Gu Bei hurriedly waved his hand: "Master, you just sell the title deed to me, tell me what you have, and I will send someone to send it to you in good condition." β
Seeing this, Gu Beiquan next to him followed to help: "This man is upright, if the master feels inconvenient, the official can also send someone to help the master get things." β
"Then you don't have to bother your lord....." Feng Fuzi smiled, but his heart was even more puzzled.
This ..... surnamed Gu doesn't seem to want to let him go to Liuzhou?
Famous!!
"Otherwise, the old man just went back to Liuzhou to pack up his things, since Gu Dangjia wants to buy a house, how about the journey?"
"This ......" Gu Bei's face suddenly became not very good-looking, and then he smiled: "Then Master ....., do you want us to sign the title deed first?" β
Seeing that the other party was so anxious, Feng Fuzi knew it in his heart, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, don't worry, let's talk about it in Liuzhou." β
"In this way, Gu Dangjia will go back and prepare first, and the old man will discuss some things with the county magistrate here, and then set off for Liuzhou in the afternoon." said that without waiting for the other party to protest, he directly said to the housekeeper next to him: "Lao Yang, send off the guest ....."
"Master, what are you ...... Hey, don't push, don't push, I know to go, Master, you have to think clearly, now the real estate in Liuzhou doesn't ask dogs, and it will be difficult to sell if you miss it. β
"I don't care about it...... I don't care about it," Feng Fuzi responded lightly while drinking tea, but he had more and more thoughts of going to Liuzhou in his heart.
Isn't there a turning point in Liuzhou?
------------------------------------------
"Master, are we going to Master Zhao's house?"
After Gu Beiquan went out, the housekeeper hurriedly stepped forward and asked.
Isn't it very good to see the master's face, isn't it very smooth?
"Go to Master Zhao's house!" Gu Beiquan frowned and got into the car, Huang Fuzi's perfunctory treatment of him just now seemed to be heavier than before, he wouldn't find his next home, right?
If you can't keep it, you have to stabilize the other masters.
Thinking like this, Gu Beiquan kept urging the driver to hurry up halfway.
In less than a quarter of an hour, they arrived at Yang Fuzi's hometown.
But when he arrived, the words of the housekeeper at the door made him stunned.
"Master Yang went to Liuzhou?"
"Yes, the county official, the old man......" The housekeeper hurriedly said: "In the morning, a person who wanted to buy the old man's Liuzhou real estate came, and after talking with the old man for a few words, the old man suddenly had the idea of going to Liuzhou, no, he went out half an hour ago!" β
"What?" Gu Beiquan was stunned: "Someone buys a house again?" β
