Internal worries must be resolved, and external troubles cannot be ignored.
After having a specific goal, the people of the Gong family no longer wander around like headless flies.
At least now, they know the direction.
On the surface, the Gong family is as calm as ever.
But behind the scenes, she, her five brothers, and even her great-grandfather were all busy.
The most quiet and elegant place in Feiye City is the teahouse called "Nianxiang".
Only the upper and lower floors of the teahouse are open to the public, and the third floor is reserved for the owner to entertain guests.
And the stairs leading to the third floor go up directly from the backyard, without having to go around the front two floors.
Just after breakfast, Lin Mengya secretly took Qinghu and Bai Su to this teahouse.
"You're finally here."
In front of him, Cai Ling was still dressed in green fir.
Qingjun's face still had a shy smile.
Lin Mengya looked around and couldn't help but admire in her heart, she was indeed Cai Ling. It showed that this person had good taste and could turn ordinary life into a life no matter where he was.
"No wonder, fourth brother praised you as a fairyland on the road."
The decoration on the third floor is very simple, with a desk, a couch, and a few chairs, that's all, with an elegant and ancient feel everywhere.
It is neither arty nor imitating others, but every brick and tile has the character of vicissitudes of life.
"Everywhere, it's just that everyone doesn't dislike it."
Seeing that she liked it, Cai Ling was also very happy.
However, he is a thin-skinned person, and no matter how happy he is in his heart, he will not show it too much on his face.
After inviting everyone to sit down, Cai Ling personally cooked tea for everyone.
Lin Mengya took it and only opened the lid, and a sweet smell slowly dissipated.
"As expected of the tea cooked by Boss Cai himself. It's hard to buy it for even a thousand dollars outside."
She smiled sweetly at Cai Ling. Although she was wearing a mask, her bright eyes were curved.
Cai Ling's face turned red again, she pursed her lips and lowered her head to look at the tea in front of him.
"Okay, let's let Cai Ling go with your sweet mouth. This is what you want, take a look."
Gong Si's eyes flashed, hiding a hint of deep thought.
Although Cai Ling has a shy personality, he is actually very indifferent to people and things.
Otherwise, how could he be in charge of such a large property of the Cai family
But he always looked shy in front of his little sister.
For Cai Ling, this was a bit unusual.
But little sister...
Forget it, I hope he is overthinking it.
Lin Mengya took what Gong Si gave her.
It was a thick roster, and those recorded on it were all the most famous civil and military gentlemen of the Wei Kingdom.
Behind the name is the background.
And in the last column, a reference opinion will be given.
Whether it can be invited or not, a judgment will be made first.
The roster is divided according to region, which is what Fourth Brother and the others started collecting after they returned from Longdu.
Nowadays, all gentlemen with some reputation in Weiguo are on this list.
She looked through it carefully and had a rough idea in her mind.
"You should have almost invited everyone here who can be invited, right?"
Gong Si nodded, the school building was built about a month ago.
After that, the teachers who were hired also set off one after another and rushed here.
"However, many great scholars and famous officials have declined our invitation. Today's colleges, even among homeschoolers, are not top-notch."
Gong Si frowned slightly, this was the big problem.
If there were no powerful gentlemen, why would those aristocratic families go all the way to send their descendants here
"These people are enough for the time being. Fourth brother, I remember that the Gong family has a library?"
Gong Si was stunned for a moment, then remembered, nodded and said.
"Indeed, but the things in this library are passed down from our ancestors, so don't try to take advantage of them. Otherwise, your great-grandfather will be very angry."
Gong Si's words were a little cautious.
In fact, according to the past background and wealth of the Gong family, the things in the library are all rare treasures.
Even if the Gong family hadn't been built like that, my great-grandfather wouldn't have had the idea of building a library.
She touched her chin and pretended to be nonchalant.
"Looking at what you said, I can't destroy my great-grandfather's life no matter what. I just think that this library has been in disrepair for a long time. If there is a snake, insect, rat, or ant, wouldn't it be a waste? thing?"
She said this softly, but Gong Si just felt that this guy definitely had bad intentions.
But I also want to know what the hell she is planning.
So I could only follow her words and continue.
"this... "
"So, we have to spend a huge amount of money to build a splendid library for our Gong family's book collection."
"This is feasible, but..."
She narrowed her eyes and smiled evilly.
"Since it is a library, plaques and other such things, if it is not a famous Confucian scholar with a wealth of knowledge, I am afraid that those fragmentary and isolated classics will be tarnished."
At this moment, Cai Ling suddenly realized.
"Gong Ya means that those great scholars will definitely feel that they are qualified. But none of them are convinced by anyone!"
She snapped her fingers, yes, when the time comes she will add a little more fire, and she won't worry about it not being able to burn!
"But even if they fight, that doesn't mean they will stay in our academy."
Lin Mengya shook her head, looking confident.
"At the beginning, I don't need them to stay in the college for the time being. I just want them to have a name. After our school is established, do you think it is better to be a teacher for the family or a teacher for the world? ?”
Gong Si and Cai Ling both understood this.
"Wonderful! No wonder the ancestor of the Gong family often praises you for your intelligence. This trick is really good for the wisher to take the bait."
Cai Ling praised softly, and her eyes were shining brightly.
Gong Si had a lump in his throat and was even more worried.
If the little girl doesn't have someone she likes yet, then Cai Ling is definitely a good choice.
It's just the matter between her and His Highness Xi that she has never hidden from him.
Those two people have already fallen in love with each other, and I'm afraid they won't be able to tolerate anyone else.
Cai Ling, I am afraid that I am using the wrong idea.
"Fourth brother, what are you thinking about?"
She noticed that her fourth brother seemed to be distracted all the time today, so she asked softly.
"No, it's nothing."
Gong Si hid his emotions very well.
Lin Mengya took one more look at him and felt relieved after confirming that nothing was really wrong.
She barely bothered to get her great-grandfather to agree to the construction of the library.
And the address is right at the back of the college.
The scenery there is beautiful, and it's close to the college, so it's a good location.
As the honorary principal and founder of the college, she has never been to the school.
This time, she went to the school for the first time in the name of inspecting the location of the library.
The academy founded by the Gong family has three parts.
One is "Children's School", which specially recruits and trains students under the age of twelve, which is regarded as the college's preparatory class.
Only after graduating from "Children's School" can one be officially admitted to the academy.
Here, students receive at least three years of education, and after three years, exams are taken.
Those who are qualified will continue their further studies for another four years.
And in the last two years, the Gong family will arrange some internships.
Let the children born in these aristocratic families truly understand the lives of the common people.
At the same time, children of ordinary people can also study with them.
Her original intention in founding this college was to achieve relative equality at least in the face of education.
So this time, she will also recruit female students.
Therefore, there is no room for trouble in management.
The college is built on the outskirts of Feiye City, with a large area, and there are many follow-up facilities under construction and improvement.
But the basic thing has been built.
When she saw the neat and clean school buildings outside the carriage through the window, she couldn't help but feel a little excited.
After all, school took up most of her time in her past life.
She always has some feelings about school.
Although she was lonely at the time, she still missed those simple and beautiful days.
At the gate of the school, there were already many people waiting for their arrival.
However, her current status is somewhat special. Fortunately, there is a girls' school here, so it is natural for her to become the first female student of the girls' school, and she also serves as the school inspector.
In this way, it is logical.
Because most of the gentlemen have not moved in yet, the college seems a bit empty now.
But all the other handymen who work for the college have already been recruited.
At first glance, there are quite a lot of people.
The person in charge of the school now is an old man who once taught in the Gong family.
Although his knowledge cannot be called a wealth of knowledge, he is fortunate to have a good character and be serious about his work.
In the past, the enlightenment education of the five brothers was due to this gentleman.
Now that the fourth brother sees this old gentleman, he still performs the disciple ceremony.
"I've met Mr. Liang."
Mr. Liang is already over 70 years old, but he is in good spirits.
His gray hair was neatly tied on his head, and he was dressed in blue-gray cloth, simple and unpretentious.
But there was a loving smile on that face.
"Well, no need to be polite, come in quickly."
In his tone, he was very familiar with the fourth brother.
The fourth brother smiled, but took a step back and said respectfully.
"Sir, this is the Miss Su I mentioned to you. She is the female gentleman invited by the head of the family and she is also the inspector of the girls' school."
Only then did Mr. Liang notice her.
She nodded slightly and introduced herself generously.
"Su Mei, I have met Mr. Liang."
Mr. Liang just looked at her for a few times before a gentle smile appeared on his face.
"Since it was chosen by the head of the family, it must be something special. From now on, everyone must work together and never let the head of the family down."
There was no difficulty or questioning.
Although she knew that Mr. Liang did not fully accept her, at least on the surface, he did not embarrass her.
