Zhenjiang Province is the southernmost province among the five provinces in the south of the Yangtze River. Its economy is more developed than the other four provinces, and its social atmosphere and level of civilization are more like those of the southern provinces.
In addition, the previous governor was more open-minded and promoted the parliamentary system in Zhenjiang Province. There was a senate in the province and a parliament in each city. However, both the provincial senate and the city councilors were appointed and mostly served by gentry.
The former governor was politically open-minded but lived an extravagant life. For example, he had built a private airport in the center of the provincial capital a long time ago.
Lu Ming once flew here with Han Zhu to play.
Two months ago, this airport was bought by Lu Ming.
Lu Ming's private jet, "Golden Shield No. 1", is currently parked at the airport.
However, the provincial normal school is located at the fringe of urban and rural areas, far away from the airport.
Zhenjiang Normal School is a secondary vocational school with a five-year system. Students can take the entrance examination after graduating from primary school. During the five-year semester, students study secondary school courses in the first and second years and professional courses in the last three years.
Of course, most students still take the entrance examination after the second year of junior high school, because many questions in the entrance examination for normal technical secondary schools still involve middle school knowledge.
Lu Ming was recommended from Donghai Fernald College and entered the first year.
This is a very old school, with classical Chinese characters written on the school motto: "Learn to be a teacher, behave as a role model for the world."
The courtyard is deep and the pines and cypresses are verdant. The campus must be very quiet at ordinary times, but now it is the start of the school year and there is a constant stream of students and parents.
Lu Ming walked around inside and completed the admission procedures. Today is August 29th, and the new students will officially start school the day after tomorrow, September 1st.
Lu Ming was admitted to the major of archaeology, and the oracle bone scholar was a professor of that major.
This major is naturally not a teaching major in a normal school. It is purely for self-entertainment. Those who really study archaeology are those in good universities.
Lu Ming had no choice but to follow Mrs. Fernald's arrangements.
After all, this is the beginning of some so-called "trial".
After leaving school, Lu Ming returned to his residence.
More than two months ago, people appointed by Lu Ming bought two two-story small stores in the commercial street near the school and connected them.
The first floor has not been much touched and is still a small department store selling daily necessities. In addition, there is a comic book counter. The main customers of this store are students and teachers from the normal school.
The second floor was renovated and decorated, and is where Lu Ming and his entourage live.
In addition to Heitou and Yuluan, Lu Ming was accompanied by Liuli and eight Qing'e. Liuli had the smallest entourage, but she still brought eight maids with her.
There are actually four bedrooms on the second floor: the master bedroom, the lady's bedroom, the servant's room and the guest room.
Heitou and Yuluan lived in the servants' room, while eight Qing'es lived in the guest room. However, because they took turns on duty, and there were two people pretending to be shop clerks, they took shifts day and night, so there were basically four people who rested during normal times, so it was quite spacious.
…
In the living room on the second floor, Lu Ming was flipping through the promotional brochure of Zhenjiang Normal School.
Sitting next to her was Liuli, whose beautiful bun was adorned with pearls and jade. The bright colors of her red embroidered jacket and green satin skirt made her face look even more charming, and her icy skin looked exceptionally enchanting. Under the hem of her skirt, a pair of tiny feet in embroidered shoes were faintly visible.
At this time, Liuli sighed softly, "Do you want to go to this kind of school?"
I think in the knowledge she inherited, the master's trial place should start from a private school or something like that.
Lu Ming smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. Just go in and learn for a few days. If it doesn't work out, then leave."
This is the truth, what kind of trial? In fact, my current development is quite good, and I don't have to follow the arrangements of the Lu family ancestors. I am afraid that I will not get any benefits, but will get into trouble.
Maybe it would be smoother if I just developed freely like this.
So, let's see how things are going.
However, the campus of the Normal School is more Western-style than that of Fernald College. Walking around it makes me feel strange, as if I have returned to the campus of my previous life.
He pondered and said, "If it's not interesting, I'll drop out. What's the point of taking the trial? The times are different now. Who can predict the future of the world in a few hundred years? If I don't take the trial, will I not be myself? I have always dreamed of being a student. It's not bad to be a student occasionally to relax my body and mind."
Liuli was stunned, then giggled, "Master, I can dress up as Professor Whitebeard?!" Her beautiful eyes were watery and her gaze was moving.
"Go... just drive if you have nothing to do..." Lu Ming was helpless. Xigong was really hopeless. He could find ways to tease him no matter what happened.
"Drive?" Liuli looked a little puzzled.
Lu Ming was too lazy to explain further, and flipped through the books he had received, then said helplessly, "I have to go back to elementary school again!"
Many contents of the secondary school curriculum in the normal school are still the same as those in the primary school in the previous life.
Suddenly, Lu Ming caught a glimpse of two petite figures standing timidly over there. He looked carefully and couldn't help coughing.
They were the two sword sisters that Liuli called in that night. They were a pair of beautiful twins, both with beautiful faces and graceful manners. They wore exactly the same light green satin clothes, and it was impossible to tell which one was which.
"Oh, you are thirty-five and thirty-six?" Although I was a little angry that night, I had an impression that Liuli called me like this.
Among the Qing'e, Yuluan is the most outstanding one and was assigned to be by his side, so she has a title, and the rest are just serial numbers.
The two little girls were terrified when they heard Lu Ming's words. They moved over quickly and knelt down together, "Grandpa, please punish us. We are so disappointing and have made you upset!" The two little girls looked like they were about to cry, but it was obviously a golden rule that they were not allowed to cry in front of their master when being punished, so they forced themselves to hold back their tears.
It seems that what happened that night caused a terrible disaster in their hearts.
Seeing that the two little girls' cheeks were still a little red with faint handprints, Lu Ming frowned. It was obvious that they might have been punished by Liuli, probably very severely. Therefore, after two or three days, the swelling on their faces had not gone down.
Lu Ming glanced at Liuli. He had already ordered all servants, maids, etc. to call him master, but Xigong was obviously still doing things on its own. Liuli's management of Xigong was no different from that of the slave owners in the dynasty era.
"Don't hit them anymore in the future!" Lu Ming sighed. They were all raised by Liuli since they were young. They had their own way of getting along with each other. If he tried to intervene forcibly, it might be a thankless task. He could only take it slowly.
"You two are lucky! I am soft-hearted. From today on, I won't have to fight you two." Liuli said calmly.
Lu Ming frowned. Did he have to be beaten every day since that night? All he saw was his face, he was afraid that his body would be covered with bruises as well.
Thirty-five and Thirty-six had already kowtowed repeatedly to thank their grandfather and the mistress, their eyes filled with joy and gratitude.
Lu Ming looked even more helpless.
Liuli added, "Originally, these two little slaves could have changed their fate. I had even thought of names for them and wanted to ask you to give them to them. But they didn't live up to their expectations, so who can I blame?"
Tears rolled down the eyes of the two little girls again. They felt ashamed and guilty. It seemed that they felt that they had let down their mistress and they wanted to jump into the river to end their lives.
Lu Ming frowned, "What names did you originally want to give them? Let me just say that from now on, the elder sister will be called Da Guo and the younger sister will be called Xiao Guo. I hope that the people around you are all happy and cheerful, not tearful. Do they have to cry all day long just like you?!"
Liuli was stunned. Although she was scolded, she was very happy. "I was right!" She said to the two little girls, "You two are so lucky. Why don't you thank me quickly!"
The two little girls were a little shocked, then they kowtowed thumpingly, and finally they cried for joy, wiping their tears, "Thank you grandpa for giving us a name. We will work like slaves and die for you, but still cannot repay you for the honor of giving us a name! Thank you grandpa! Thank you grandpa! May you live long and healthy!" The two little girls were so excited that they could not say more.
Liuli was also beaming with joy. She stood up and bowed charmingly, "Thank you, Master, for giving me this name!"
Lu Ming was dumbfounded. He was supposed to be scolding her, but how come he was rewarding her? These people's train of thought was too strange and it was really hard to figure out.
