Su Xun's small face was tight, his cheeks flushed slightly with shame, staring at Kou Ji.
"who are you?"
Su Xun's voice was high and trembling.
Kou Ji stretched out his hand and rubbed his head twice while Su Xundong was dodging, and said with a smile: "You guys are good..."
Su Xun yelled.
Kou Ji teased him, his gaze fell on Ouyang Xiu and the others, and when they saw them looking at him respectfully, they smiled faintly, "I still want to chat with you, but I didn't expect that you all guessed my identity. , I’m sitting here, and you can’t play happily.
I'm one step ahead.
Goodbye..."
Kou Ji got up, thought about it, and walked to the front yard bitterly.
Ouyang Xiu and others got up, saluted Kou Ji together and sent Kou Ji away.
Su Xun did not give a gift, but chased Ouyang Xiu and others, and asked loudly, "Who is he?"
The elder Fu Bi was amused by Su Xun's younger brother, and said with a smile: "Who is he, sooner or later you will know, don't rush for a while."
"Yes, yes... The rich man makes sense."
"..."
A bunch of older people agree.
An angry Su Xun yelled.
Kou Ji left the courtyard and entered the front yard, and saw Kou Zhun following a group of great Confucian dancers.
Saw Kou Ji.
Kou Zhun immediately greeted Kou Ji over.
A group of great scholars, no matter their age or knowledge, are higher than Kou Ji, Kou Ji did not dare to be big in front of them, bowed his waist and saw them one by one.
Those big scholars also responded in return.
In order to avoid being caught by a gang of great scholars, Kou Ji brought the topic to the print.
After agreeing to help a large group of Confucian scholars to print their books and their collections, they successfully escaped the examination of the Confucian scholars.
Kou Zhun saw that Kou Ji didn't like to hang around among the big Confucians, so he arranged for him to receive those high-ranking officials who had resigned.
Kou Ji was also happy to discuss some political affairs in the court with the senior officials who had resigned, and listen to their instructions.
The old men are very talkative and tireless.
Drink and talk all night long.
Talk about current affairs, talk about poems, and talk about beauties.
The gathering where Kou Zhun helped Wenchang Academy to recruit her husband at the mansion turned into a poetry meeting.
Kou Ji stayed with them until midnight and escaped the front yard with excuses.
The female relatives in the backyard did not leave, and Kou Ji was not happy to go back to the backyard. After thinking about it, he planned to find a free place to live in the two large workshops in Rui'an Town.
As soon as he left the house, he saw Su Xun dragging a middle-aged man and yelling at Kou Ji.
"Uncle Shi, he is bullying me!"
Kou Ji raised his brows, and he didn't expect that the little guy would take such a grudge and would still sue.
Seeing Kou Ji, the middle-aged man was taken aback for a moment, and hurriedly bowed to salute.
"Dali Temple Cheng Wenying, I have met the Kou staff."
Su Xun's eyes widened stupidly.
"Kou officials?"
Cheng Wenying hurriedly glared at Su Xun, then whispered: "Irreme...you don't want to pay tribute to the officials?"
Su Xun was stunned by Cheng Wenying, and bowed to Kou Ji.
Kou Ji nodded and smiled: "You don't have to be polite..."
Cheng Wenying pulled Su Xun to his feet.
Kou Ji looked at the two of them, staring at Cheng Wenying, and questioned: "Xiao Su Xun is your nephew?"
Cheng Wenying was stunned, not understanding what Kou Ji's question meant, and immediately said seriously: "Xiaguan and Su Xun's father Su Xu are family acquaintances."
Kou Ji nodded thoughtfully, and continued to ask: "Can Xiao Su Xun have a marriage contract?"
Cheng Wen should hear this, his face changed, and his expression was somewhat blunt: "Su Xun and the little girl have a marriage contract."
Su Xun had just reacted to the shock that Kou Ji's identity had brought him. Hearing Kou Ji's questioning, his face rose with two blushes, and he said angrily: "What are you asking about this?"
Cheng Wenying was taken aback, and hurriedly yelled: "Rude! Quickly apologize to the gangsters!"
Su Xun was very rude in front of Kou Ji, really frightening Cheng Wenying.
Cheng Wenying is a rich man in Meishan, Meizhou, and his position as Cheng Cheng of Dali Temple was recommended by someone.
I don't sit in the yamen of Dali Temple on weekdays.
But it doesn't mean that he didn't know what Kou Ji did in the court.
From Kou Ji's entry into Bianjing City, until now, no one who has offended Kou Ji has a good end.
Among them are the traitor Dingzhi, who was in power at the time, and the queen mother Liu E, who is as stable as Mount Tai.
He is a small Dali Temple Cheng, even a grasshopper in Kou Ji's hands can be crushed to death at will.
Earlier, Kou Ji beheaded a group of officials at Caishikou, and he brought out one at random. It is possible that the official position is higher than Cheng Wenying.
It is precisely because he knows how powerful Kou Ji is, so after hearing that Su Xun is disrespectful to Kou Ji, his heart beats with horror.
If Su Xun didn't know the identity of Kou Ji, he could still help Su Xun by the unknown.
But now Su Xun already knows the identity of Kou Ji, and he is so rude to Kou Ji.
That's not justified.
Su Xun gritted his teeth under Cheng Wenying's scolding and bowed his head to apologize to Kou Ji.
Kou Ji saw through Cheng Wenying's thoughts and smiled: "Cheng Sicheng doesn't need to be nervous, I don't blame Su Xun, but rather like him. I didn't mean to recruit him into my Kou Mansion as my son-in-law.
After all, even if he wanted to join my Kou Mansion as his son-in-law, my Kou Mansion did not have any female relatives to marry him. "
Cheng Wen should hear this and smile dryly.
I was speculating that what Kou Ji said was somewhat true or false.
When Kou Ji asked if Su Xun had a marriage contract, he was very nervous.
For fear of Kou Ji's move and take away his son-in-law.
Although Su Xun is a little arrogant and likes to swim, he has good qualities. He is a childhood sweetheart with his daughter, and the two have a good temperament, and they will also let their daughters in trouble.
He doesn't ask his daughter-in-law to be a husband for all generations, but he only asks that his daughter-in-law can live a peaceful life with her husband and son-in-law.
He is not short of money anyway.
He will give enough dowry when the girl is married.
Seeing that Cheng Wenying was still a little worried, Kou Ji smiled and said: "I just think this son is a good talent, but unfortunately he is too detached and arrogant, so he should get married as soon as possible and be managed properly."
Cheng Wen should see that Kou Ji's words were sincere, and he immediately let go of his heart, and said with a wry smile: "It's true that this son is stubborn by nature. My brother in the world is indifferent and let him mess around in the countryside.
My wife, my wife, was a little hard to see. I heard that Kou opened a school and invited many famous Confucian teachers to learn from him, so she asked me to take him to Beijing and wanted him to enter the school opened by Kou. "
After a pause, the bitterness on Cheng Wenying's face became stronger, "I spent a few days in Kou Mansion, intending to fund Kou Gong some money to help Su Xun get a place in school. It's just that Kou Gong has been busy with official duties and didn't see me. ."
Kou Ji was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Su Xun and saw that Su Xun's stern face was a little angry, and he knew that he was very dissatisfied that Cheng Wen should pay him to enter the Wenchang Academy.
Adults have self-esteem, as do children.
A child who is as smart as Su Xun has much more self-esteem than others.
It's just that Cheng Wenying, a small official, in order to successfully send Su Xun into the Wenchang Academy, mixed in and out of the Kou Mansion, I am afraid that he has suffered a lot of blindness.
It's a pity that Su Xun doesn't seem to understand his father-in-law's painstaking efforts.
Kou Ji smiled and said: "My grandfather never collected more foreign money when he founded the academy, otherwise it would go against his original intention of running the school. In addition to some of the usual food and clothing expenses, it also costs some money to buy pen, ink, paper and inkstone. The rest are not used. Even if it is for Shu Xiu, only six rituals of apprenticeship are accepted."
Cheng Wen should hear this with a sad expression.
The reason why he didn't want to take a rest in the middle of the night was because he wanted to take a chance to see if he could meet Kou Zhun and help Su Xun find a place for admission.
Seeing this, Kou Ji said again: "However, you don't have to be discouraged. As far as I know, this time my grandfather is recruiting students. What matters most is not the students' knowledge, but the students' character."
Cheng Wen should be taken aback for a moment.
Kou Ji smiled and said: "If you don't rest assured, you can give this kid to me, and I will guarantee him a successful enrollment."
Cheng Wenying was taken aback for a moment, then he was delighted, and said in disbelief, "Really?"
Kou Ji smiled without saying a word.
Cheng Wenying realized that he was a little misbehaving, and hurriedly bowed and said, "It's me who was rude... As the gangster, naturally there is no need to coax me."
After a pause, Cheng Wenying should hesitate to say: "Why did the Kou officials help me?"
Kou Ji smiled and said: "Help you? I didn't mean to help you, I just think that Xiao Su Xun doesn't know the etiquette, and is going to send him to Wenchang Academy to learn etiquette."
Cheng Wen should be taken aback.
Some dumbfounding in my heart.
If Kou Ji's words were to be spread out, I am afraid that the entrance of Kou Mansion will be full of scholars, asking Kou Ji to send himself to Wenchang Academy to receive punishment for etiquette studies.
He guessed secretly, thinking that it might be Su Xun's jumpy heart that caught Kou Ji's attention, and Kou Ji intended to help.
Cheng Wen responded deeply to Kou Ji.
After the salute.
With excitement, Cheng Wenying turned around and instructed Su Xun, “Follow the Kou officials well. You can do whatever he asks you to do. As long as you can successfully enter the Wenchang Academy to study and return to Meishan, I I can also give my wife an explanation."
Su Xun stared at Cheng Wenying blankly.
'father in law! I am looking for you to avenge me, not for you to betray me! '
however.
Cheng Wen should not hear his voice.
Cheng Wen bowed his hand to Kou Ji and left Kou Mansion in strides.
Cheng Wenying was very relieved to hand Su Xun to Kou Ji.
Cheng Wenying is not at all worried about whether Kou Ji will hurt Su Xun.
Because Cheng Wen should know that Su Xun has nothing worthy of Kou Ji's plot.
There is nothing in the eyes of Kou Jifa for the Cheng Su family.
Cheng Wen should leave.
Kou Ji glanced at Su Xun who was standing on the side stupidly, and beckoned to the servant not far away.
"Arrange for him to rest in the wing."
"When my grandfather opened the school to accept students, he needed a chicken to be killed by monkeys."
"..."
The servant agreed, and took Su Xun, who was still in a daze, and left the door of Kou's Mansion.
He didn't know that he had become the chicken to be killed in the Wenchang Academy.
Kou Ji left the hospital.
I ran into Chen Jing, who was leading a man to patrol Rui'an Town.
Chen Jing warmly invited Kou Ji to rest in his newly built two-entry mansion.
Since the people in Rui'an Town earned enough wages in textile workshops and steel forging workshops, most of them have also got rid of their social life.
I bought some free space in the town and built some private houses.
now.
In Ruian Town, except for some lazy people who live alone, most people have moved out of the adobe houses that Kou Ji built when they first settled them.
Some evacuated adobe houses have been demolished.
The land occupied by the adobe houses was also divided into pieces and sold to the people.
The court also reaped a lot of money.
After Kou Ji arrived in the courtyard of Chen Jing's house, Chen Jing ironed a pot of wine, sat down with Kou Ji and chatted for a while, chatting about the current situation of Rui'an Town.
Then let the family boil some hot water, let Kou Ji wash up and arrange Kou Ji to sleep.
Kou Ji hid in Chen Jing's house for three days.
On the fourth day, Kou Zhun sent someone to call back to the other courtyard.
As soon as I entered the courtyard, I saw the great Confucianism and high-ranking officials who had surrounded the courtyard a few days ago, disappearing.
Kou Zhun was the only one sitting in the main hall with a sad face, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Kou Ji stepped forward slightly and bowed, "Grandfather..."
Kou Zhun slowly returned to his senses. After seeing Kou Ji, he hurriedly said: "There are two things, I need you to help the old man to refer to them."
Kou Ji walked up to Kou Zhun and touched the tea on the table in front of Kou Zhun. Seeing that the tea was cold, he ordered someone to change it to Kou Zhun before sitting next to Kou Zhun. Something went wrong?"
Kou Zhun sighed: "An old man told him that the appropriate expenses in the Wenchang Academy cannot be used with my Koufu's money. He said that the Wenchang Academy's all the expenses should be used if we keep using my Koufu's As far as money is concerned, Wenchang Academy will not last long.
What do you think? "
Kou Ji thought about it and nodded slowly, "I think what he said is reasonable."
Kou Zhun said with some dissatisfaction: "Why can't I use the money from my house when I run a school."
Kou Ji gave a wry smile when he heard this.
If he hadn't seen Su Xun, Ouyang Xiu, Han Qi and others, he would agree with Kou Zhun's statement.
Anyway, opening a school is to relieve Kou Zhun's boredom.
As long as he is there, Wenchang Academy will not be unable to run it because of lack of money and food.
But after meeting Su Xun, Ouyang Xiu and others.
Kou Ji changed his mind.
All the talents have entered the Wenchang Academy, and now there is nothing to see.
But more than ten years later, when a group of talents came out of Wenchang Academy, they took a high position in the court.
That's different.
By then, the gang of courtiers who have received the favor of the Kou Mansion will all give the Kou Mansion a bit of face.
What the Kou Mansion said at the time would probably be more effective than what the officials said.
It's easy to control the imperial power.
Kou Ji didn't have much scruples about matters affecting imperial power.
He is afraid that when the time comes, some people with unpredictable hearts will take the opportunity to do things and destroy everything he has painstakingly created.
