Chang Zhong, on the contrary, put away his indifference. How should I put it? He really didn't take Hu Xiucai seriously before, but now he does. People like him are scheming and scheming. You know, marrying into a woman's family has a bad reputation and few people are willing to do so.
The yard was quiet and everyone was looking at Mr. Hu in a daze.
Changzhong's eyes were sharp, "You are very interesting."
Unless you control this kind of person for your entire life, he will bite you back once you give him a chance.
After Master Hu encountered setbacks everywhere in the provincial capital, he desired wealth and power even more. He wanted to be like Master Zhou. So what if he was the son of a prefect? He still had to be careful and flatter him.
The two tribesmen came back to their senses and looked at each other. There were many people coming to the tribe to study, but only this one was cruel enough to them.
The other scholar felt a chill on his back and stood up and walked away from Scholar Hu.
Hu Xiucai's eyes were burning, "I think I'm a good student."
Chang Zhong smiled, his eyes were indifferent, "If I don't agree, you will definitely resent the Zhou family for cutting off your path to success."
Hu Xiucai's smile froze, "Sir?"
Chang Zhong stood up and said, "I have seen many people like you in the capital. My Zhou family does not bully others, but we are not stepping stones for anyone to climb the ladder. Whether you are resentful or want revenge, I will wait for you. I will catch you when you find me."
I will kill you when the time comes.
The indifference in Changzhong's eyes and his standing posture were like swords, forcing Hu Xiucai to take a step back.
At this moment, Changzhong's demeanor changed completely, and he no longer looked kind to his fellow tribesmen.
In the capital, Zhulan had no idea that her son had become so powerful. She was very busy. She had anticipated that many people would sign up yesterday, so she arrived at the academy early today, only to find that people were already lining up.
There are not many girls from farmers' families queuing today, but rather girls from ordinary families living near the capital.
Seeing that Tao and Yulu came together, Zhulan put down the list in her hand and asked, "Why are you here?"
Mrs. Tao indicated to Yu Lu that she didn't need to take care of herself, and sat down and said, "Wang's family also has a girl in the academy. Yesterday, a girl went back to promote, and with the information in the newspaper, she came to look for me early in the morning. I haven't seen you for a long time, so I came here specially to see you."
Zhulan, "It seems that many people want to send their daughters to school."
Tao nodded, "The family is huge and there are many ordinary people. There are also different levels within the family. Life at the bottom is not easy."
"As you can see, there are many girls who want to enroll."
Tao looked outside for a long time and said, "Your academy is not big enough."
Zhulan smiled and said, "Female orphans start learning early, and they are older and more numerous. A large number of them will be recruited this time."
Tao said: "Even if you don't study medicine, you won't have trouble finding a job."
Zhulan nodded, "You also know a lot about technical improvements, so workers are needed."
Colleges in various states have also been established this year, and everything is moving in a positive direction!
Zhulan pointed at the Buddhist beads again and said, "Why do I feel so uncomfortable seeing you keep these beads in your hand?"
Tao paused while turning the beads. "We are at home in mourning. I am used to chanting Buddha's name and writing scriptures every day."
Zhulan, "You are not going to build a small Buddhist temple in the mansion!"
Tao, “Yeah.”
Zhulan thought for a moment and said, "It's just right that you're here. The academy has recruited a lot of new teachers."
Tao was surprised, "Sent by the imperial court?"
"You are dreaming. The imperial court will not send anyone here. The Chen family will send someone to teach here."
Tao stopped turning her Buddhist beads and kept muttering, "The Chen family."
"What do you think?"
Tao was a clan woman, and everything she thought about was for the sake of her family. "I'll go back and tell the master, but the Wang family is different from the Chen family."
Zhulan also understood, "Yeah."
She just wanted to tell the Wang family, to let them know in advance that although the Zhouhou Mansion already had many in-laws, the Zhouhou Mansion was the heir to the eldest wife, and Yu Lu was the future clan lady, so the in-laws between the Wang family and the Zhouhou Mansion were the most reliable.
In the afternoon, Zhulan went home and saw Yuwen in the main courtyard. "When did you come here?"
Yuwen took out the letter and said, "Grandma, guess who this letter is from?"
Zhulan's first reaction was, "Your father's?"
Yuwen shook her head, "You'll be surprised if you see it."
Zhulan was in no hurry to change her clothes. She motioned for the maid to bring some juice. She opened the letter and was very surprised. "Miss Ji."
"It's her. My granddaughter almost forgot about her. I didn't expect that she would write a letter to me."
Zhulan almost forgot about the girl, "I wonder if this is what the old lady of the Luo family meant."
Yuwen, "My granddaughter thought she would see me!"
Zhulan smiled and said, "This girl has a lot of ideas!"
Yuwen felt warm in her heart, "So she doesn't want to meet someone, so she wants to apply for the job of a gentleman in the academy?"
Zhulan: "There are probably many reasons."
She thought that the old lady of the Luo family also had the intention. More contact could broaden one's mind. But she didn't know if she was avoiding Mr. Luo. She knew that the old man had also gone to the farm.
"She wrote a good beginning, addressing you as the dean and listing what she can do."
Zhulan put down the letter and said, "If she wants to apply, she can go ahead. As long as she has the ability, I won't stop her."
Yu Wen smiled and said, "Grandma, there are so many female teachers with personality in your college."
Zhulan also laughed, "Yes, grandma hopes that everyone has their own thoughts."
Yu Wen said sincerely: "Grandma, your granddaughter thinks you are great."
A few days later in Lizhou City, Changzhi met his second uncle and his second brother's brother-in-law, who had returned from studying abroad and was preparing to take part in this year's autumn examination.
Chang Zhi left today. When he came, he had less than four guards, but when he left, he had more than thirty guards.
The families of these guards will also come to Beijing one after another, and he will not be responsible for the follow-up, as his eldest brother will make arrangements anyway.
Chang Zhi's carriage was also changed. He was very low-key when he came, but he was not low-key when he left. It was time for him, the chief examiner of Sichuan Province, to show up.
Wu Chun personally escorted them to the city gate and said, "Be careful and be careful if anything goes wrong."
Changzhi, "I'll remember that when I get back from my errand."
Wu Chun: "Okay."
Chang Zhi did not go back alone, he brought Qian Jiang with him. Qian Jiang arrived at the city gate first. Seeing Lord Zhou, who looked very different, Qian Jiang wondered if the guards were too many.
Qian Jiang came to Lizhou with his parents. He only knew that his son was traveling with someone else. Just because of this scene, Qian's father asked, "Son, didn't you say that it was a scholar who was traveling to study?"
General Yang, Father Qian has more than just seen him. Looking at the neat guards, Father Qian swallowed his saliva.
Qian Jiang was also confused. He thought that Lord Zhou didn't want people to know that he had arrived in Chuanzhou so early, so the people around him kept their mouths shut and didn't dare tell his father the truth. He thought Lord Zhou would keep a low profile before arriving in Chuanzhou, but he never expected him to be so high-profile!
Changzhi has come over, "Let's go."
Qian Jiang's throat was a little dry. "Master Zhou, what's wrong with you?"
Chang Zhi understood it immediately and laughed, "I am not afraid of people knowing."
Qian Jiang, "... "
Qian's father, "!!"
