"We want to see the dean,"
Before Ping'er finished speaking, Lu Shizhu covered the child's mouth: "It's nothing, we just want to see the dean."
When the man heard this, he waved his hand: "The dean is not here, we have no money. If you want money, you go to the dean yourself."
Jiang Nuanzhi heard a question mark on his forehead : "What money do you want?"
"It's not money!" After hearing this, the man seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and returned to his previous arrogant attitude, and said: " What is the identity of our dean? Where can I meet ordinary people like you just by asking?
Today, my dean was invited by the county magistrate to visit the homes of wealthy gentry. I won’t be able to come back for a while. If you want to find the dean, come back another day. "
At that moment, I saw what Jiang Nuanzhi and the others were carrying, and suddenly came over with a smile on their faces: "By the way, are you going to enter the academy? Did you bring all these things? "
Tell me, looking at the basket in Jiang Nuanzhi's hand, his eyes gleamed.
The things Jiang Nuanzhi brought this time were more valuable than those he gave to Du Fuzi before. More.
In addition to five taels of silver wrapped in red paper, the six gifts of dried meat, celery, dried longan, lotus seeds, red dates, and red beans are also prepared. < br>
Seeing the man looking over, Jiang Nuanzhi simply put down the basket: "I have indeed prepared six gifts for the dean. But the dean is not here, let's come back another day."
Jiang Nuanzhi felt vaguely Something was wrong. She had just left Magistrate Feng's house not long ago. If she remembered correctly, Magistrate Feng probably didn't invite anyone. Furthermore, if Magistrate Feng had an old relationship with the dean of Panshi Academy, wouldn’t he not tell him about it?
"Hey, don't go! You're right!" The man immediately took the basket into his arms: "Well, I've collected the things. But, you guys don't have enough. . But there is good news. We are expanding our enrollment this year. As long as we give you another hundred taels, we will accept this child!”
“Why don’t you go and grab it!” , Lu Shizhu immediately jumped.
"Gukui Academy only accepts two taels of silver for half a year. You want a hundred taels? I think you are crazy about money! Ping'er, we can't go to this shabby academy!"
Ping'eryan frowned slightly, as if the academy in front of him was very different from what he imagined.
"Hey? We are innocent and innocent, and we have one hundred taels of silver. Regardless of whether there is any problem with this person, we will take it! If we can get an extra fifty taels, I will ask the dean to give it to me for the quiz next year. Write a letter of recommendation. Think about it. It’s only one hundred and fifty taels, and it’s a great deal!”
As he said this, he patted himself on the back. chest.
Jiang Nuanyi looked at him suspiciously: "What, can you be the master of the dean?"
Lv Shizhu rolled his eyes: "Can't you say that the top master? Is that you?”
The man raised his head arrogantly: "Introduction, my name is Jin Wushuang, and the students all call me Master Wushuang. The dean listens to me the most and talks to me in soft words every day. I Whatever you say is what you say! To be honest, if you two want to enroll in the academy, I will make an exception and accept only two hundred and fifty taels, how about two letters of recommendation next year?" >
He said, looking at Jiang Nuanzhi expectantly.
After Jiang Nuanzhi was silent for two seconds, he pulled Ping'er directly, turned around and left.
Jin Wushuang suddenly became anxious, and immediately ran to stop the person: "Tsk, don't leave, we can still negotiate! How much silver do you have? Well, I mean, I will make an exception today and charge you eight How about ten taels per person?”
“Hey, don’t leave. Fifty taels, fifty percent? Think about it. There is also a letter of recommendation written by our dean. A letter of recommendation costs more than that, right?”
Jiang Nuanzhi: "."
She thinks it was a mistake to come here today.
I never expected that Panshi Academy, second only to Gukui Academy, would be like this. Magistrate Feng said that Panshi Academy was not as good as Gukui Academy, which was really conservative. She even felt that it was a little stupid to put so much effort into entering this academy.
At that moment, he took her basket back, and then put both the basket and Ping'er on the donkey cart.
However, the next second, the reins in his hand were snatched away by Jin Wushuang.
"You can't leave!" Jiang Nuanzhi frowned: "What? Master Wushuang is planning to grab the money directly?"
"What are you talking about!" Jin Wushuang said with righteousness. , and then looked at them sideways: "Do you really have money on you? Is it a lot?"
As soon as these words came out, even Ping'er, who had the most peaceful mind, couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
“A Nuan, I can’t go to this academy.”
Jiang Nuanzhi nodded happily: "Yes, good boy."
Then he wanted to seize the reins, but Jiang Nuanzhi tried twice, but was easily dodged by the man. I couldn't help but feel a little surprised. This man looked so careless, but he actually had some skills.
However, Jiang Nuanzhi had no intention of entangled with him. The next second, he stepped hard on his instep.
Jin Wushuang screamed in pain, immediately covered his feet and jumped up.
Jiang Nuanzhi took the reins of the donkey cart back and jumped on the cart.
However, that Jin Wushuang came out from nowhere and blocked the front of the donkey cart as if nothing happened.
He said with a serious face: "You must not leave until I make this clear!"
"Ahem. Well, I mean, everything is easy to discuss. What do you think? Ten taels is too much. Give me a price. How can you make a counter-offer if you don’t give a price? "
Jiang Nuanzhi: ".We won’t read it anymore."
"Why? Why don’t you study? It’s time for a child of this age to focus on his studies. I’m not telling you to take a longer view! Just ask, how much can you devote to studying?”
Jiang Nuanzhi was helpless and gestured with a finger casually.
Jin Wushuang frowned: "Ten taels of silver, isn't it a little less?"
Jiang Nunzhi shook his head: "It's not ten taels, it's one tael."
"Hey, are you crazy! I am such a big school in Panshi Academy! It only costs one or two silver to accept a student to cultivate? If word spreads, won't the world laugh at you?" Jin Wu's eyes widened, as if he heard something. Unbelievable thing.
"Master, we are really poor and cannot go to your academy, so we leave first."
Saying this, Jiang Nuanzhi wanted to catch the car.
Who knew that the master continued to stop him: "One tael of silver is simply nonsense! You won't get this price anywhere you go!"
Jiang Nunzhi nodded: "That's true, then Goodbye, Mr. Wushuang."
However, before the donkey could walk, the reins were pulled by Jin Wushuang again. He said with an expressionless face: "Put it away. , bring me a tael of silver, tell me their names, I will accept it, but you have to give me the gift you just gave me!”
Jiang Nuanzhi didn’t expect that he would really accept it, and was stunned. Then he said a little apologetically: "I'm sorry, Master. I was a bitch just now. We really don't plan to enter Panshi Academy. I'm sorry. See you again when we are destined."
"Hey? Don't leave! Let's talk again!"
This time, Jiang Nuanzhi didn't stop and drove the donkey cart away.
Behind me, Master Jin could still be heard shouting from a distance: "Come back, let's discuss it again. If it doesn't work out, I won't accept a tael of silver. You can keep your bunch of repairs. I will Make an exception!" (End of this chapter)
