Chapter 262 College enrollment is frustrated

The servants at the door were watching, and no one dared to pick it up. They just waited for the boy to come out and send a message.

Unexpectedly, after waiting and waiting, the rightful owner came out.

Pu Yangzhao walked to the door and snorted: "I came here specially to tell you: I don't care about such things! If you want to pick them up, just feel free to pick them up!"

After saying that, he glanced at the inkstone on the ground, his eyes were slightly fixed, surprise flashed across his eyes, and his fingers were curled up!

Resisting the urge to take a few more glances, Pu Yangzhao turned back with a flourish.

The real owner said no, and the people who had been waiting outside the door immediately pounced on him.

Except for the broken glass tea set, everything else had been robbed.

Even the tea leaves that had fallen on the ground were picked up cleanly.

One tael of tea leaves and one tael of gold!

What's dirty? !

Puyang Zhaoren returned to the study, but his heart was left outside the door.

The complex and exquisite turtle lotus leaf inkstone kept turning around in his mind.

He has no interest in other things, but he is particularly obsessed with inkstones.

Most of my savings over the years were used to buy all kinds of good inkstones, but I have never seen an inkstone like what it looks like today.

If I had known that it was so special, I would have opened it and looked at it carefully, and looked at it for a while before throwing it out!

As the afternoon passed, Puyangzhao felt very dry.

After being scolded several times, the boy didn't even dare to go in. He only asked the old housekeeper for help.

The old housekeeper heard about what happened today and knew what the crux was. He brought tea into Pu Yangzhao's study.

"Master, my servant will bring you some tea."

Pu Yangzhao frowned and looked at the old housekeeper: "Why did you come to serve tea in person?"

The old housekeeper laughed naively: "Song'er said that you are in a bad mood. He is not meticulous enough in his work, and he is a little worried about you..."

Pu Yangzhao fell silent.

This was the old housekeeper's tactful reminder.

Without waiting for the master to speak, the old housekeeper continued on his own: "I heard that the person who picked up the square inkstone sent it to Songshizhai, and Songshizhai offered a high price of five hundred taels for it."

Pu Yangzhao sneered coldly: "Song Shizhai also has a dark heart. The inkstone's carving skills are more than five hundred taels..."

With just one glance, he could tell that it was a good inkstone.

The old housekeeper nodded: "The master's vision is definitely not wrong. The master is of noble character. It is very good not to accept the gift from the new crown prince. But that thing is a dead thing. There is nothing wrong with it."

"If the master thinks that thing is good, why don't you ask your servant to buy it back quietly?"

Pu Yangzhao was moved by the butler's highly empathetic words. He thought about it and nodded: "Well... don't let anyone know that I bought it."

"Here..."

Before dark, Puyang Zhao finally saw Fang Yan again.

It cost two thousand taels of silver!

The housekeeper was heartbroken and Puyang Zhao regretted it.

I shouldn't have thrown it away if I had known... A few curses would be considered "not accepting the prince's solicitation".

The next second his mind was attracted by the inkstone in front of him, and he looked at it carefully.

Not only is the carving of this inkstone complicated and exquisite, but when you look closely at the quality of the stone, you are even more amazed: the structure of this inkstone is firm, the texture is meticulous, and the stone skin is warm and moist.

With its unique shape, it can be used in many ways.

He tried pouring water to grind it and found that it was also excellent: the ink was as sharp as a whetstone, astringent but did not leave a pen, smooth but did not reject the ink, the skin of the melon was smooth and smooth, and the sound of gold was as good as jade.

Pu Yangzhao can be regarded as a connoisseur and collector of the Four Treasures of the Study, but he has never seen this kind of inkstone.

He couldn't help but become more curious and rummaged through the box that had just been thrown away.

One corner of the box had been broken, and the word "She Yan" was written on the front.

She (shè) inkstone?

He had never heard of it, and he had never seen the words in front of it.

As a great scholar, he has the unique curiosity of a scholar: when he encounters something he doesn’t understand, he always wants to understand it.

Where does this word come from? What does it mean?

Is this the origin of this inkstone?

Or its characteristics?

If it were normal, he would definitely find someone who knew and ask for clarification. However, it is obvious: the person most likely to know the origin of this "She Inkstone" is the prince.

After all, that's where things come from.

But as soon as he threw something out, he went to buy it back, and he had the audacity to ask the prince for advice?

He wouldn't be able to do such a shameful thing even if he died.

Reason stopped him, but emotion made him scratch his heart: I really want to know the origin behind this She inkstone...

Pu Yangzhao scratched his head, and Fu Chenan was also scratching his head.

Over in Tianwu Kingdom, enrollment for Yingchun Academy has been underway in the past two days.

However, as soon as the admission details of "recruiting both men and women" were posted, there were many people watching and talking, but only a few people signed up.

From ancient times to the present, there has been no reason for both men and women to study in the same academy.

Although men and women in Yingchun Academy go to school separately on both sides, and there is a wall in the middle, there is only one wall between them.

On the men's side, there are also a few people who can't afford to study but want to read and write.

There is no one on the women's side.

There are a few people who are interested, but they don't dare to be the first female student to sign up.

They were watching quietly.

Fu Chenan looked at Xiao Yingchun: "How do you think we can make people and women dare to take the first step and become female students at Yingchun College?"

Xiao Yingchun thought for a while: "How about sending the tea master who trains tea masters from the tea house to Yingchun Academy?"

"And then let the students who study tea art go directly to Yingchun Academy to study?"

Fu Chenan's eyes lit up instantly: "So everyone will know that if you learn this thing, you can still work as a tea master in a wealthy family?"

Nowadays, there is a shortage of tea art masters in the capital, and many aristocratic families have sent their maids to teahouses to learn tea art.

The tuition fee for each person is a full one hundred taels!

Xiao Yingchun chuckled: "If you really finish your studies, you can also work as a tea artist in our tea house."

As the reputation of tea expands, more tea houses can be opened in various places, and more tea masters will naturally be needed.

Not only that, with the establishment of the "Chunxiao" high-end luxury brand, the weaving department also needs more weavers and embroiderers.

You can also have experienced embroiderers and weavers from the weaving department come here to teach various weaving and embroidery techniques.

If you learn well, you can also work in the weaving department in the future.

There is a large proportion of orphan girls in the Salesian Bureau, and they are also sent there to learn some skills.

Fu Chenan nodded crazily: "This is a good idea! I'll ask someone to post the enrollment details..."

Xiao Yingchun hurriedly stopped him: "You can also post a recruitment notice next to the enrollment notice."

"Let's just say that the tea house and the weaving department are recruiting tea artists, weavers, and embroiderers. The requirements are to have rich experience and understand tea art and weaving and embroidery skills..."

In this way, those who want to make this money will naturally make trade-offs.

Fu Chenan immediately went to Tianwu Palace and asked someone to pass on the order.

In addition to ordinary people who were curious about the follow-up of Yingchun Academy, aristocratic families were also curious, and the managers of various families called people to keep an eye on it.

As soon as they saw the enrollment notices and recruitment notices posted, the stewards of each family went home to deliver the news.

The aristocratic family was surprised, and then smiled contemptuously: Yingchun Academy has become a place to train all kinds of maids?

Hahaha!

In this case, which young lady from aristocratic families would lower their status to go to Yingchun Academy?

A pig-butcher is a pig-butcher, and even if he runs an academy, he won't be able to achieve success.

Thinking in his mind, the family members immediately ordered him to go down.

"There is no need to send the young masters and young ladies at home. Instead, send some of the personal servants and maids around the young master and young ladies to learn some things."

The boys learn reading, literacy, arithmetic, etc., so that they can become the helpers around the young masters in the future.

As for the maids, they will learn tea art, embroidery, nvhong, etc., so that they can better serve the ladies in the future.

The steward also laughed and immediately went there. Unexpectedly, not long after, the steward came back with an embarrassed look and asked for instructions: "Master, the rules of Yingchun College are very strange..."
