Chapter 31: Riots

Chu Jinglian said with a smile: "The grass people are only shallow in learning, if they could come up with a good name, they would have started a long time ago." Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Lord Bogu Tongjin, it's up to you to come up with a name. ”

Liu Jingxuan looked Chu Jinglian up and down, nodded with satisfaction, and then said, "Since Chu Yuanwai said so, how about calling it 'Jingxian Academy'?"

Chu Jing nodded again and again, and exclaimed: "Wonderful, wonderful." Adults are highly talented, and no one can match. By the way, my lord, I heard that you want to dig the Jiajiang River and clean up the silt, I wonder if the villain can do something for the adults?"

Liu Jingxuan said with a smile: "This river control project is huge, and it is not easy to really implement it." Once the construction starts, it will definitely cost a lot of money and food. I also have to ask the governor of the river, Lord Zhang, to make a decision. If he needs help from outside the Chu Yuan in the future, he hopes not to refuse. ”

Chu Jinglian waved his hand and said: "The adults have a life, and the grass people are all obedient." ”

Liu Jingxuan glanced at Xiao Rang, and Xiao Rang glanced at Liu Jingxuan again. There was no more sound in the hall.

Chu Jinglian understood, hurriedly got up, bowed and swept the floor, and said: "The adults are busy with official business, and the villains are inconvenient to disturb, so I will leave." ”

Liu Jingxuan also got up and left his seat and said, "Since Chu Yuanwai is leaving, it is inconvenient for this official to stay and send off guests." ”

Liu Jingxuan sent Chu Jinglian to the outside of the mansion.

Chu Jinglian once again proclaimed his bow to Liu Jing.

Looking at Chu Jinglian's distant back, Liu Jingxuan was thoughtful.

Xiao Rang came from a distance and quietly asked Liu Jingxuan, "My lord, who are you?"

Liu Jingxuan smiled slightly and said, "This person has insight at a young age and is calm and practical. I was amazed by his thoughtfulness. But this Chu Jinglian always made me a little unable to see through. ”

Xiao Rang said: "How about the humble post to check his details?"

Liu Jingxuan said: "Not for the time being. We've just arrived here, and it's not easy to make enemies. Let him be. ”

The "Jingxian Academy" in Dongcheng was officially opened. Under Xiao Rang's selection, nearly 200 poor students listened to lectures and studied here. Chu Jinglian invited about ten teachers from the four towns and eight towns of Yangzhou, and invited more than a dozen cooks to cook for the teachers and students of the academy.

Chen Qiaoxin felt both happy and lost. I am happy because due to the support of the prefect of Yangzhou, his salary has doubled, and the monthly silver of his third brother Guo Chong has also doubled. But the loss is that the ten new teachers are all more knowledgeable than themselves. Especially the pedant named Mei Yunsheng, although his age is similar to his own, he always looks like he is rich and rich. Chen Qiaoxin felt that Mei Yunsheng's mouth was like that all day long, looking at everyone with such disdain, and he was humming when he spoke.

And the kitchen also came to a master chef Ding Manlou. This Ding Manlou is about forty years old, with a short neck and a thick neck, and a short and fat body. Although he is not as tall as Guo Chong, he is full of stocky muscles all over his body. He is not as sour as Mei Yunsheng, but he is indeed very picky about the food in the kitchen.

Although Guo Chong often cooks, and his cooking skills are okay, in Ding Manlou's eyes, it seems that he can't be worse. Guo Chong has been repeatedly accused by Ding Manlou, no matter how good Guo Chong's temper is, he can't stand Ding Manlou's difficulties all day long.

On this day, Guo Chong finally couldn't help but get angry.

It was as if the pot had exploded in Jingxian Academy, and all the teachers had to stop teaching and watch the excitement on the sidelines.

In the backyard, Ding Manlou pointed at Guo Chong and scolded loudly: "You can't cook, if not, get out of here!"

Guo Chong said sullenly: "Isn't it just cooking for students and teachers, as for opening a restaurant, pick and choose." ”

Ding Manlou raised his head and said loudly: "Who do you say is picky? I just don't look down on people like you who are not very good at things and have a bunch of reasons." Cooking is also an art, so how can you just give it to others?"

Guo Chong was unconvinced and said: "Most of the people here are students from poor families, and they usually can't even eat at home, so why did they start to pay attention to it here." If they eat so well here, what if they go home? How do their families behave with themselves?"

Ding Manlou's eyebrows stood and he roared: "I don't care about others, since I am in charge, I must be worthy of every dish, every dish has its life and value." I don't allow you to spoil it easily. If you don't want to do it, just leave!"

Guo Chong's eyes were as wide as copper bells, and he snorted angrily: "If you want me to go, you are also worthy!"

Ding Manlou was a little angry, stretched out his hand and picked up an iron stick, and was about to smash it at Guo Chong's head.

Guo Chong picked up the axe under the eaves and did not show weakness.

Seeing that the two were about to fight, a strange voice sounded under the eaves: "I think which of you dares to spread wild here? Do you know whose territory and whose academy this is?"

Ding Manlou and Guo Chong were stopped by the visitors at the same time. And all the people looked to those who came.

The person who came was none other than Mei Yunsheng.

Mei Yunsheng is forty-four in his fifties, with gray hair, and is wearing a gray robe with a sparse short braid draped over the back of his head. The most striking thing is the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, which makes Mei Yunsheng more knowledgeable.

Mei Yunsheng slowly walked in front of Ding Manlou and Guo Chong, looked the two up and down, and said, "This is the academy, a place for teaching and educating people, not a street or a wine shop. You are making a lot of noise here, and you are going to use force, what kind of system are you going to be?"

Mei Yunsheng walked up to Guo Chong and said, "This Brother Guo, please." ”

Guo Chonggang wanted to distinguish two sentences.

Mei Yunsheng continued: "What Brother Guo said is true. This is a college, a place for poor children to go to school, and there shouldn't be too many requirements for food. But Brother Guo, even if it's coarse tea and light rice, you can't do it too well. Don't hide it from Brother Guo, your knife skills are too poor, and the shredded potatoes cut out are uneven in length and uneven in thickness. Not to mention the taste of the meal. Our students are indeed poor, but this is 'King Yin College'. They came here in the hope that we would change their fate. We need to let these children know that they must strive for perfection in everything they do, and know how to be perfect. The students who come out of our academy must be talents and talents. It seems that such a so-so and perfunctory style can not gain a foothold in my Jingxian College. ”

Ding Manlou looked at Mei Yunsheng with great satisfaction, and then put the iron strip on the ground.

The surrounding teachers, students, and miscellaneous servants all nodded in agreement.

Guo Chong was speechless by Mei Yunsheng's words, and looked at Chen Qiaoxin not far away, his eyes were sad.

Chen Qiaoxin wanted to say a few words for his third brother Guo Chong, but after searching his intestines and stomach, he couldn't find a sentence that could refute Mei Yunsheng's words.

"Mr. is really a well-educated person, so that the late students admire it tightly?" Before the words fell, three people walked on the stone path outside the courtyard. It was none other than Liu Jingxuan, Xiao Rang and Chu Jinglian.

Today, Chu Jinglian accompanied Liu Jingxuan and Xiao Rang to Jingxian Academy to see how the academy was doing. I wasn't going to go to the backyard. But hearing that the sound of reading in the courtyard was cut off, and the noisy and chaotic sound of the backyard was endless, Chu Jinglian couldn't help frowning a little.

Chu Jinglian said apologetically: "The two adults sit for a while, and wait for the villain to go and see what happened?"

Liu Jingxuan looked at Xiao Rang and said, "Why don't we go together and see what happened?"

Chu Jinglian said hesitantly: "There are many people in the backyard, but I am afraid of colliding with adults." ”

Liu Jingxuan shook his head and said, "Although this Jingxian Academy is said to be an industry outside the Chu Yuan. But after all, under the rule of this official, how can it be unreasonable?"

Chu Jinglian hurriedly said: "That being said, then Lord Liu and Lord Xiao please." ”
