After returning to the other courtyard, Lin Ping'an fell asleep. This day had really been a tough day for him.
"Although the group of night watchmen have been temporarily suppressed, if you still can't come up with the things you described in your mouth, you really won't be able to explain it by then. Is it possible that you will just blame the God of Medicine again?"
He thought secretly in his heart and sighed leisurely
If that was really the case in the end, he, Lin Pingan, would really become a joke in the eyes of everyone.
"It seems that I really have to make some inventions in this era from now on."
A wry smile appeared on his lips, and soon he fell asleep.
At the same time, in the study room of Shi Mansion!
Shi Fenglai looked at the four big characters that were still inked on the desk and let out a long breath. He put down the brush in his hand and carefully looked at the four characters "Zhulin Academy" he had just written, with a smile on his lips. .
"Dad, can you just send these four words?"
Shi Qian asked hesitantly on the side, always feeling that his father was too stingy. Lin Ping'an became the dean of Zhulin Academy. This is a huge happy event, and the academy also sent a special invitation with a picture of the words. It seems a little shabby.
Shi Fenglai glared at him and shouted:
"What do you know? Ever since Lin Ping'an gave me that poem, I have become a role model in the eyes of scholars all over the world. How can pure people be associated with the smell of copper? If you give me money, it will tarnish my reputation."
Shi Qian nodded submissively, scratched his head and said:
"I just think it's a bit stingy. The four most talented people have spent all their money to support the academy. As Lin Ping'an's brother, I have to express my gratitude no matter what."
Hearing this, Shi Fenglai slapped him on the head and cursed with a smile:
"Use your brain. If I don't give you money, it doesn't mean you can't give me money. You are Lin Ping'an's brother. Not only do you have to give it away, but you have to give it away big time!"
After saying this, he paced back and forth in the study room. After a long time, he stood still and said:
"Of course I know what those four talented people have in mind. In my opinion, if nothing unexpected happens, Zhulin Academy will definitely shine in the future, and maybe it will become the second Donglin Academy, so you kid Hug this big tree."
After saying this, he stepped forward and patted Shi Qian on the shoulder, and said again seriously:
"Maybe the future of our Lao Shi family will depend on you, boy. From now on, you must follow Lin Pingan closely, and remember to change your heart with your heart. Although Lin Pingan is young, he has a mature mind. If you If there is even a hint of hypocrisy, he will definitely be able to tell."
Shi Qian nodded and muttered dissatisfiedly:
"Look at what you said, Lin Ping'an and I have a sincere relationship, so where is the pretense?"
"This is the best!"
Shi Fenglai nodded with great satisfaction and murmured:
"Bamboo Forest Academy, haha, it is indeed a good name!"
.
Bamboo Forest Academy has recently become the subject of heated discussion among people in the capital. The main reason is that the thirteen-year-old Lin Ping'an has become the dean.
Lin Ping'an became famous among scholars in the capital with just two poems, but the common people knew nothing about it.
In fact, this had nothing to do with the common people. It was only the four talented men who exaggerated the matter.
These four people are all wealthy owners. Since they want to build momentum, they should go big.
So they used various methods to publicize it. The storytellers in the teahouse talked about Zhulin Academy every day. The students in the academy also voluntarily organized banners and set up stalls in every corner of Beijing. In order to recruit students, even major bookstores in the capital have inexplicably printed out introductions about Zhulin Academy one after another.
For a time, Zhulin Academy and the young dean became the focus of everyone's eyes.
Moreover, these four talents also launched publicity in their respective hometowns, hoping that students from all over the Ming Dynasty could come to study at Zhulin Academy in the capital, and provided a series of preferential policies.
As a result, students from all over the Ming Dynasty rushed to the capital in an endless stream.
In the academy, Jiang Xingzhou said proudly:
"Judging from the current momentum, the number of people who have signed up to join the academy has exceeded 300. By the time it is officially opened, I estimate that there will be no less than 500 people."
Liu Wushuang laughed loudly when he heard this, and said somewhat self-deprecatingly:
"There are a lot of people, but our money is like running water. The more we spend, the more we spend."
Wei Wuya patted his shoulder and said nonchalantly:
"I have done some calculations. Even if the annual fee for a student is thirty taels, five hundred students would only be fifteen thousand miles away. We can still afford this amount of money.
"Besides, not every student is poor. Many of them are wealthy like you and me. Brother Liu, you are worrying too much."
Song Zhice frowned and said:
"The fees for students and the daily expenses of the academy are not something to worry about. However, those things that Dean Xiaolin once said will probably cost a lot of money. We must be mentally prepared for this, so as not to be unable to get the money when the time comes. What a joke!”
Speaking of this matter, the four of them immediately became interested. Liu Wushuang said:
"There are rumors that Dean Xiaolin was invited to the night watchman a few days ago. He thought he would be made trouble in every possible way, but unexpectedly when he came out, he was treated as an honored guest by those people. Can you guess why?"
The other three people all shook their heads. The Night Watchman has always been very mysterious, and this kind of news is not something they can find out.
Liu Wushuang showed a proud smile, "I have a cousin who is a night watchman. This news is absolutely true. According to him, Dean Xiaolin had a verbal battle with the scholars at the night watchman that day and gave a lot of advice from the Medicine God. Those people were suppressed at that time.”
Upon hearing this, the other three people suddenly showed curious eyes and asked eagerly:
"What exactly did Dean Xiaolin say?"
Liu Wushuang showed a thoughtful expression, and after a moment he slowly said:
"Dean Xiaolin told a set of divine secrets from the Heavenly Book, as well as a lot of poisons and extremely powerful firearms. It is said that Master Lei in Fenglei Pavilion was shocked by it."
After saying this, Jiang Xingzhou and others were immediately stunned. After a while, he hesitated and said:
"So, will the night watchman compete with us for Dean Xiaolin?"
Wei Wuya slapped his thigh and shouted:
"It goes without saying that if Lin Ping'an is snatched away by the night watchman, we won't be able to find a place to cry."
After saying this, he walked out first and shouted:
"The four of us should go find Lin Ping'an immediately and advance the opening date of the academy in case something changes!"
As soon as the other three heard this, they immediately followed him. The four of them jumped on a carriage and went straight to Lin Ping'an's courtyard.
.
In Suning Mansion.
Wei Zhongxian looked at the people in front of him and asked with a dry smile:
"What should we give Lin Ping'an?
The people in front of him looked at each other and felt that Jiu Qian was making a big fuss.
Cui Chengxiu said tentatively:
"It's just an academy, and Lin Ping'an is just the director of a small Taiyuan Hospital. Why should you, Nine Thousand Years Old, bother so much?"
Li Kuilong on the side also nodded in agreement:
"His Majesty is just asking for the blessing of being nine thousand years old for marrying him. This kid hasn't come to your house to thank you, but you are still thinking of giving him a gift. If you tell me, you will be laughed at."
Tian Ergeng and Xu Xianchun looked at each other and chose silence in a tacit understanding. One of them was the Zuo Governor, and the other was the commander of the Jin Yiwei Commander. They already knew what Lin Ping'an did at the Night Watch that day. , obviously scorned the words of Choi Sung-soo and Lee Kyu-yong.
"These two nerds really think that Lin Ping'an is a useless kid. Naturally, he has his reasons for doing this at the age of nine thousand."
The two of them thought in their hearts at the same time, but they deliberately pretended to be stupid and raised their hands to Wei Zhongxian and said:
"Although Lin Ping'an is young, there are some things that people can't understand. I think it makes sense for Jiu QianSui to do this, but I'm stupid and I hope Jiu QianSui will make it clear."
As expected, Wei Zhongxian showed a proud smile on his face, pointed at the four people in front of him and said:
"As expected, you know this but don't know why. Today's Lin Ping'an is not just the director of the Imperial Hospital. Standing behind him are the Queen and Hua Fangfang. Although this person is young, he has already become a prominent figure in the eyes of scholars in the capital. With the idols and the help of the four great talents, Zhulin Academy may be able to surpass Donglin Academy back then."
Hearing Wei Zhongxian's words, Cui Chengxiu and Li Kuilong both nodded. They were both civil servants, so they naturally knew how powerful Donglin Academy was back then.
"Nine thousand years old, I seem to have understood a little bit. If I can make Zhulin Academy rise quickly, I will be able to suppress the Donglin Party members. Such a move to kill someone with a borrowed knife is really wonderful!"
Xu Xianchun seized the opportunity and immediately said a rainbow fart to Wei Zhongxian.
Wei Zhongxian laughed, waved his hand and said:
"This is just one of the reasons, but the main reason is that our family thinks this kid is very popular and we like him."
This sentence surprised the four people in front of him. They knew exactly who Wei Zhongxian was. It was really confusing that such a person would feel attracted to a thirteen-year-old boy.
"Tell me, what do you think I should give that boy?"
Wei Zhongxian picked up the tea cup and took a sip, then asked leisurely.
