Chapter 30: Weaknesses
Chen Qiaoxin turned around and said, "It turns out that the second brother is back." Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info I just sent off Liu Jingxuan, the prefect of Yangzhou. ”
The short man is none other than Qiu Yintao. When he heard that it was Liu Jingxuan, the prefect of Yangzhou, he couldn't help but shake his head, and then followed Chen Qiaoxin into the academy.
The two walked into Chen Qiaoxin's inner room, and Chen Qiaoxin asked unhappily, "Where have you been these days?"
Qiu Yintao sneered and said, "I'm going to investigate the case." ”
Hearing this, Chen Qiaoxin couldn't help but be startled, and said, "What case are you investigating?"
Qiu Yintao sat on a Taishi chair, stretched his waist, and said, "It's not Guo Yan's case. ”
Chen Qiaoxin frowned, and said a little angrily: "Second brother, can you honestly find a job, even if it is a bodyguard in the hospital." Is it your and my errand to investigate the case? ”
Qiu Yintao snorted and said, "Senior brother, do you remember what Master said to us when he was leaving? If you look at us now, even life is a problem. I just want to deal with the government, if I can find a big official, or even the imperial court as a backing, why worry that my Shenhuo Sect will not prosper and revivelate. If you don't want to, please don't hold me back. ”
Chen Qiaoxin sighed, then shook his head and walked out the door.
The night in Yangzhou is very beautiful, and the moon is as bright as an ice tray. The lights in the city are shaking, quiet and warm. Under the pouring of moonlight, the slender West Lake is sparkling and pleasant.
On the small building in the backyard of the Jade Emperor Terrace, Chu Jinglian quietly looked out the window.
There was Zhao Yushan standing not far from him, and Zhao Yushan also looked at Chu Jinglian's back quietly without saying a word.
Suddenly, there was a slight sound of footsteps downstairs.
Chu Jinglian lightly struck the jade fracture fan on his left palm and said, "It's finally here." ”
After a while, a servant came up from downstairs, holding a letter of worship in his hand.
Chu Jinglian opened the prayer post, which read: Jinglian Gongzi Taijian, I am willing to go to Yangzhou Mansion tomorrow to discuss important matters and worship them.
Chu Jinglian smiled, and then handed the greeting note to Zhao Yushan.
Zhao Yushan took it and looked at it, and then returned it to Chu Jinglian, saying: "I really admire the fact that the staff knows what Liu Jingxuan likes so quickly." ”
Chu Jinglian said: "No one is perfect, as long as he is a human being, he has seven emotions and six desires, and he has weaknesses. However, this Liu Jingxuan is indeed not comparable to ordinary people, and I am afraid that there is still a long way to go if I want to win him over. ”
Zhao Yushan smiled and said, "What is the weakness of Chu Yuanwai?"
Chu Jinglian couldn't help but be stunned after hearing this, looked at Zhao Yushan and said, "Then according to the girl, what is my weakness?"
Zhao Yushan's eyes flashed, and he said: "Chu Yuan has no relatives and no reason, he is high-spirited, his heart is heavy, and he is already impeccable. However, there are some people who are anxious for success and profit, and he is afraid that there will be hidden disasters in the future. ”
Chu Jing pondered for a long time and said, "You may be right. But if I am asked to abandon everything and be an ordinary person, I will always be unwilling. In my opinion, the girl is not a person who is indifferent to fame and fortune. ”
Zhao Yushan said lightly: "I don't know my life experience, but I know my life experience." Childe and I have a lot of similarities, so I hope that the staff can retreat bravely as soon as possible, so as to make a wise move. I'm glad I was able to stay on this big tree for a little longer. ”
Chu Jinglian turned to look at the night sky outside the window, and said lightly: "Retreat bravely from the rapids? This is a road of no return, and you can turn back if you embark on it." ”
The next day, Chu Jinglian came to the government of Yangzhou Mansion at the invitation of Liu Jingxuan. After the two sides exchanged pleasantries, the guests and hosts sat down.
During Cheng Qian's tenure as the prefect of Yangzhou, Chu Jinglian had come to the government many times. Although the inner hall of the former prefect's yamen is not splendid, there are all kinds of celebrity calligraphy and paintings, antique jade, high-quality silk curtains, and sandalwood. In today's inner hall of the prefect's yamen, all the treasures are gone. Even the hollowed-out entrance lattice shelves have been removed, leaving only four rows of bookshelves, which are full of books.
Chu Jinglian nodded frequently and said: "With this room full of books, the villain can see that Lord Liu is a person who loves books, and he must be knowledgeable and knowledgeable. ”
Liu Jingxuan smiled and said: "Chu Yuanwai has a reputation. I bought some idle books, and I had nothing to do to relieve my boredom. ”
Liu Jingxuan changed his words and said: "Some time ago, this official was wandering around Yangzhou and saw a academy in Dongcheng, which was very good. After inquiry, it is an industry outside the Chu Yuan. Chu Yuanwai was young, and he was doing things to help the poor and help students, which made the official very admirable. ”
Chu Jinglian smiled embarrassedly and said, "The adults made fun of it." Who doesn't know that you are kind-hearted, helping the poor in Gaoyou County, and giving grace widely. After coming to Yangzhou, he worked day and night for the country and the people. Compared to what adults do, villains are not worth mentioning at all. ”
Liu Jingxuan also smiled and said, "Chu Yuanwai, I invite you to come today, because I have something to ask for, and I hope to agree." ”
Chu Jinglian nodded and said, "Lord Liu can only tell me if he has something, and the villain will not hesitate to go to the soup." ”
Liu Jingxuan said: "I want to borrow the academy outside Chuyuan. ”
Chu Jinglian paused imperceptibly, and then said, "But I don't know what you want to borrow it for?"
Liu Jingxuan glanced at Chu Jinglian and said, "Don't worry about it outside the Chu Yuan. I don't mean anything else. It's just that your academy is so big, and it only accepts a dozen students, which is a bit wasteful. I wanted to open a school in Yangzhou City, but I couldn't find a decent house for a while. Moreover, the land price in Yangzhou is too expensive, and if you want to buy such a large mansion as a academy, the official is powerless. Therefore, I hope that Chu Yuanwai can agree to the official's request. ”
Chu Jinglian hurriedly said: "I see, the adults want this academy as a school, and the villain can't ask for it. ”
Liu Jingxuan continued: "As for the teacher, the chef also hopes that Chu Yuanwai can look for more people locally, and the salary will be paid by the official. As for the students, they are recruited by Mr. Siu himself, and those who cannot afford to attend private schools can apply. ”
Chu Jinglian said: "But I don't know how many students adults want to recruit and how many teachers they have?"
Liu Jingxuan thought for a while and said, "There are about two hundred students. There are at least 10 teachers and about 10 chefs, so I think that's about the same. ”
Chu Jinglian said angrily: "My lord, just rest assured, this matter is wrapped up in the grass people's body. As for the salary, the villain comes out. It can also be regarded as a villain who has made some modest efforts for Yangzhou City. ”
Liu Jingxuan suddenly seemed to remember something, and asked, "This academy in Dongcheng still doesn't have a name, I wonder if Chu Yuanwai can give it a resounding name?"
