Chapter 541 Chapter 541: The house is restless [Requesting monthly votes]
Xu Jie knows that his senior sister is a strong-minded person with strong ideas. With Shen Jun’s temperament, the two of them will most likely hit it off. However, Xu Jie never expected that Senior Sister Ning would actually leave and never come back! When the convoy returned, only Ning Yan was missing.
Xu Jie asked his close subordinates who came back to life.
Holding the handle, he raised his voice in disbelief: "What? You said Senior Sister Ning and the others stayed in Longwu?"
The subordinate nodded heavily.
He handed over a letter written by Ning Yan with both hands.
Xu Jie’s fingers were shaking when he took the letter - he had not forgotten the main premise for Ning Yan to stay in Longwu County. Is that Jun Shen really a girl? It took some effort to tear off the paint, take out the letter paper inside, and unfold it in ten lines.
After reading it, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Muttered in his mouth: "I just said how could Mr. Shen be born as a girl... I was really misled by the bastard Wen Shi, and it was a false alarm."
Ning Yan made it clear in this letter. Talking about the real reason why she stayed in Longwu County, her late husband Yan Xingning’s literary spirit was incarnated [Wu You] After his death in Yonggu Pass, she lost Yan'an and couldn't even collect his body, so she thought of living in Longwu County for a few years, so that she could raise her daughter Nannan with peace of mind, and secondly, she could be at a distance from her. She grew up in the nearest place to her father, letting time heal the pain of losing a husband and a father.
Under Shen Jun's rule, Longwu County was in ruins and waiting for improvement, and the security of the place was acceptable. They, mother and daughter, did not have to worry about war if they stayed here temporarily.
As for Shen Jun’s identity as a woman...
Ning Yan did not mention a word.
Xu Jie can "justify his theory" here.
He carefully collected the letter, smoothed the wrinkles and put it into the wooden box on the side of the desk. He said to his subordinate: "In a few days, you will go to Longwu County again and send some money. Senior Sister She has a strong personality and does not like favors and sympathy from others, but after all, she is alone with two children, and her life will always be inconvenient. If she has more money and money, she will not be too embarrassed. "
Why a few days later?
Because the letter also asked Xu Jie to help find several female teachers with solid knowledge, preferably those with good character, tolerant personality, and no family background. Xu Jie didn't know much about female teachers. The female teachers in his house were also chosen by his wife.
Searching takes time.
Xu Jie told his wife about this the same day, and her wife asked in confusion: "I heard that Mrs. Yan had a famous teacher when she was young, and her cultural background is not better than that of the female teacher who taught her boudoir? What if she just teaches the girls in the family to enlightenment? , one female teacher is enough.”
“Senior sister didn’t explain why...”
The lady couldn't resist the taste of the snack.
“She didn’t explain, so you helped without asking why?”
Xu Jie said: “You can guess some of the reasons even without asking. She and Xingning once founded a college and inherited it. She wishes to entertain her master and study at home, but the current situation does not allow it... She is willing to find something to distract herself. It’s a good thing to temporarily forget the pain of being widowed.”
Seeing Xu Jie’s eloquent explanation, the lady couldn’t help but ask, “Why did you hire a female teacher to establish a college?”
Guess: "Because the academy students are girls?"
It's not impossible.
Ning Yan has always been very creative.
Yan Xingning couldn’t resist her kind.
"She is capable of disguising herself as a man to study under her teacher, so it would not be outrageous to build an academy that only recruits girls."
Xu Jie's tone was a bit helpless.
The lady couldn't help but sneer: "The purpose of studying and literacy for rich girls is to support the housekeeper in the future. Longwu County is bitterly cold and remote, and there is not even a decent school... How many students can be attracted by setting up an academy there? Girls from common people's families are not. There are many, but what’s the use of learning this? They haven’t learned how to farm and weave.”
“Isn’t Mrs. Yan doing this? Is she misleading her disciples? How can a commoner's daughter be so angry after learning something? It's not a harm to others, but there's no need to pay for setting up a college." br>
“Where does this money come from?”
Xu Jie didn’t say anything, but looked at her lightly. The latter was keenly aware of her husband’s emotions, pursed her lips, and restrained her curvature. He asked: "Who else is gossiping with you?"
A few simple words made the madam's heart burn with fire: "What are you talking about? Can't I think so myself?"
"If you say these words in other situations or to other people, I won't say them either. What are you doing?" Xu Jie understood what the other party was worried about, but at the same time he didn't understand why she was worried." But Senior Sister Ning is a fellow disciple and a benefactor, and my husband respects and admires her. He underestimates Senior Sister Ning and completely insults Xu Wenzhu by judging our relationship based on the worldly relationship between men and women."
Xu Jie. He didn't get angry, and even his tone was calm, but Madam could see a bit of dissatisfaction from his expression.
She turned her head in embarrassment and annoyance, and said sadly: "Conjecture? Worldly men and women? Yes, she has the ambition of Kunpeng, and is superior to me in every aspect. You have a long talk with Na Ningtunan, Your ambition We have similar interests and cherish each other. I am just a female family member in the inner courtyard. I only know about trivial matters, but I am not as good as you both. Why don’t I want to share the same goals with the master? "
After that, I hid my face and left.
Xu Jie was left alone in the same place, stunned.
After a while, he summoned his confidants to ask.
“Who has your wife been close to recently?”
Due to spring plowing, Xu Jie was homeless for most of the month, and he didn’t know who his wife was close to. Furthermore, the inner courtyard has always been the domain of the mistress. As a husband, if he asks too many questions, it will be seen as questioning his wife's ability in the eyes of everyone in the house.
The steward will tell you one by one.
Xu Jie's face turned dark and dark.
“It’s those Tianhai families again... they still haven’t given up!”
Xu Jie also likes to be rebellious at heart.
The more you push his head to do something, the more he refuses to do it. The Tianhai family all wanted to get involved in Heyin County, taking a fancy to the fertile fields with two consecutive years of bumper harvests and the rich mineral veins. In today's world, food is more expensive than gold, and no one wants too much food.
But they were all blocked by Xu Jie.
Unexpectedly, they started directly from his backyard.
I want to make him restless at home, but I have no way to do it.
The methods are disgusting enough.
I just had a bad time with my wife, and Xu Jie couldn't let her help find the female teacher. After much thought, I had no choice but to take care of it myself, and took a trip to Tianhai. Of course, Xu Jie didn't cause any trouble to those families. Instead, he had a meal with his lord Wu Xian.
Convey your position in subtle ways.
Discord in the accounts is a taboo. He didn't want to break up with his colleagues. It would make everyone lose face and make Wu Xian's life difficult. Before the conflict is brought to light, it would be better to give them a break early!
Wu Xian said haha, but didn’t give an accurate answer.
After eating a meal, Xu Jie was suffocating.
Hurrying to leave, he met Zhao Feng with the same unkind expression. Xu Jieyou heard about Zhao Feng's situation. The other party returned to Wu Xian's account a month ago to report, but he was absent for two years and was estranged from his former colleagues. The latter had intentionally or unintentionally excluded those who were not from the Tianhai family, but now he behaved It's even more obvious.
They also proposed to let Zhao Feng lead troops to farm elsewhere.
As the saying goes: practice makes perfect.
No one is more familiar with this job than Zhao Feng.
He can act like a cow or a horse under Shen Tang's tent. There is no reason to start posing as a general when he returns to the serious lord, right? Zhao Feng had some smiles in the first few days, but kept a straight face the rest.
I am at home, picking my feet for more than a month.
When Xu Jie saw him, he immediately felt a sense of sympathy for him.
