Chapter 1107 Changping County Lord 55

"County Lord, what do you want me to do?" Zhong Shuo came over,

Xining leaned on the square mat and asked some miscellaneous questions, such as what was taught in the free school now, where it was taught, and whether he thought the teaching was good.

Zhong Shuojun answered them all, and then Xining got to the point: "The wedding is about half a month away. Are you satisfied with the marriage?"

Zhong Shuo hesitated, and after a while, he bowed and said: "Zhong never thought that he could find such a good marriage. Thank you for your support, Master and County Lord, and thank you to Miss Wang for not disapproving of it. Zhong will definitely marry him in the future." Miss Wang respects each other as guests and grows old together.”

Xining was relieved: "Since you are satisfied, that's good. If you have any questions about studying in Yiyi, you can just come to me."

"There happens to be something I need to ask the county chief to tell me." Zhong Shuo actually had something to do.

The volunteer school is for people from the county, but those who have lived outside for a long time and who have not registered as residents in the county can also be admitted as long as they respect the teacher and are cleanly dressed.

But recently, some Huns children also wanted to enter, but they were all blocked outside.

Xining thought for a while and raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "Since Mr. Zhong asked, of course he wants them to listen to the class."

Zhong Shuo saluted with a hint of embarrassment: "The county master is a clear warning! Zhong believes that there are many diligent and studious people among them, but they are turned away because of their different backgrounds, which refutes the original intention of the county to host schools."

Xining picked up the fan and shook it, feeling a little hot again, which was always worrying.

After thinking for a long time, Zhong Shuo asked: "May I ask if the county master has any doubts or fears?"

Xining let out a long sigh, his eyes were slightly dull, and he looked helpless: "If the court officials find out, they will inevitably ask me to read another book. To put it nicely, I want to use poems and books to educate the barbarians. If I say it is a rite of passage, Huns, begging for mercy, what do you say?”

When Zhong Shuo heard this, he immediately bowed and said, "It's Zhong who didn't think enough. Please forgive me, the county master."

Xining turned and said: "This matter is not a bad idea. Let me consider it and discuss it again."

After hearing this, Zhong Shuo said nothing, bowed and left.

After the people left, Jing'er brought a cup of tea and said with a bit of blame: "This Zhong Shuo is really true, so many students are not enough, and he still wants to teach the children of the Huns. Aren't you just making trouble for the county boss!" ”

Xining picked up the tea and took a sip: "This is the behavior of a gentleman. Confucius accepted students without distinction, and no matter what kind of students they were or what their origins were, as long as they were willing to learn, they would all be willing to teach, but this time it's just not as good as before. ”

Jing'er spoke softly: "It is said that Zhong Shuo is a nerd and is very knowledgeable, but such a foolish scholar will not survive for a few days even if he becomes an official in the court."

"Yes." Xining shook her fan: "Just teach and live a small life with Miss Wang."

Jing'er was a little curious: "County Lord, why do you think Miss Wang fell in love with such an idiot?"

Is it for the five thousand taels of dowry? Possible or impossible. After all, Zhong Shuo likes to specialize in learning and is a bit aloof and even scornful of worldly matters.

Xining said with a smile: "It's because he is an idiot that Miss Wang fell in love with me. He is as beautiful as a flower, and a man will look twice at him when he sees him. Only this Zhong Shuo, every time he meets, he moves forward and backward. He is restrained, speaks in an orderly manner, and is full of sourness. Neither I nor Miss Wang do anything disrespectful when we are alone. There are so many men in the world who can be so affectionate, even if they are mediocre in appearance, they will be a good match. .”

Jinger nodded, thoughtfully.

Xining joked: "So concerned about this matter, does Jing'er also consider herself?" Jing'er immediately pursed her lips: "The county master is teasing me again."

Xining laughed, picked up the tea and started drinking again.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, it was a good day for the Zhong and Wang families to get married.

No matter how hot the weather is, the sun is not as hot as it is in summer to barbecue. On the wedding day, it was also a nice day. Miss Wang was driven in a red-colored oxcart to the house she had just rented.

In order to get married, Zhong Shuo had spent all his money. The rent of this house and the additional furniture were all given to Zhou Ji by Huang Bing.

With ten taels of silver a month, Huang Bing finally had some money left. This time, he also tried his best for Zhong Shuo. Huang Bing also understood that the county boss used his money to help Zhong Shuo. So as long as he can keep enough money to live a simple life, it doesn't matter if the rest is given to Zhong Shuo.

The house is next to Huang Bing's house, and the landlord also admires Huang Bing, so the rent is very cheap, jokingly saying that it is equivalent to finding someone to look after the house for him.

Xining was wearing the treasured clothes of the county master. As soon as he passed by, he asked her to sit down directly. This was a treatment that only elders and distinguished guests had.

She also knew that she was there to support the occasion, so she put on the treasured clothes she wore when she was canonized. This dress is really useful. As soon as it appears, everyone is waiting to salute and say hello.

Although the bridegroom is a little poor, he is a disciple of the Confucian scholar Huang Bing and his adopted son, who is very talented and knowledgeable.

What makes people talk even more is naturally the bride’s dowry. Although Shili Hongzhuang is not considered rich, it is still rich in the small Linyi County. Only a few wealthy families can do it.

Xiaoniang Wang couldn't collect the dowry for Mrs. Wang's wedding, so Mr. Wang had no choice but to draw it from his own treasury. For this reason, Master Wang was so angry that he took away Wang Xiaoniang's power as housekeeper and gave it to his concubine.

This made the concubine extremely happy, and Wang Xiaoniang made a fuss about spoiling her concubine and killing her wife. In the end, Mr. Wang was so angry that he simply took matters into his own hands. A grown man takes care of the house, but it turns out he manages it in a disgraceful way.

If the mistress of the house is unkind, the house will definitely be restless, and it seems that there will be more trouble in the future!

Anyway, Miss Wang is married, and whatever trouble the Wang family gets into has nothing to do with her. Her uncle Mr. Deng, as well as several elders and peers of the Deng family came over and watched the wedding happily.

The marriage was quite satisfactory and ended lively.

Miss Wang's marriage discussions stopped within a few days, and the young couple lived their lives. The archery competition after autumn is the highlight, and practice must be stepped up.

Xiao Zhan handed over the list and bought a lot of things again this time.

Xining looked at the list and couldn't help but nod. Now the only thing missing was liquor, so he basically bought everything. It will take a few days to make wine, so I can bring it back next time.

"County Lord!" Xiao Zhan had been running for several months, and his skin was tanned. His originally fair skin was now almost turning into black coal. He couldn't help but remind: "There is not much money in the warehouse."

"Oh, how much?" Xining handed the bamboo slip of the goods to Jing'er: "Put it all in storage."

Butler Xiao reported the figures: "There are still two hundred taels of gold and five thousand taels of silver in the treasury."

"There are so many more? Not bad, it seems you are really capable. I thought they were all spent!" What Xining said almost made the two of them roll their eyes.
