Jiang Xingzhou and the other four people hurriedly walked in. As soon as they saw Lin Pingan, the four of them raised their hands and saluted together:
"I met the dean."
Since Zhulin Academy has not been officially recognized and can only be said to be a private institution, Lin Ping'an can only be called the dean at this moment, not the dean.
Lin Ping'an hurriedly returned the gift and asked for tea, then asked:
"The four of you are in a hurry. Could it be that you have something important to do?"
When the four of them heard this, they all looked at each other and couldn't help shaking their heads secretly in their hearts.
"It seems that Dean Xiaolin doesn't take this academy seriously."
Jiang Xingzhou said hurriedly:
"After the early publicity, there are now more than a few hundred students who have signed up for Zhulin Academy, and students from all over the country are still coming in an endless stream, so I want to schedule the opening ceremony for ten days, and I came here to ask the dean Report."
Lin Ping'an is now used to the title of dean, but he feels that there is no need to hold such an opening ceremony, so he said:
"We are just an academy, there is no need to hold an opening ceremony, right?"
Upon hearing this, Wei Wuya waved his hands and said:
"The dean has also said that our academy is unique and unique in history, so the opening ceremony is of great significance and must not be taken lightly."
The other three people nodded again and again, and they knew in their hearts that if Zhulin Academy really became a unique academy in history, then the opening ceremony five days later would definitely go down in history, and their names would also be written into that history. among.
No one can refuse this temptation!
Lin Ping'an looked at their earnest eyes and could only nod his head and asked again:
"What do you need me to do?"
“All you have to do is show up.”
Jiang Xingzhou said with a smile: "We have arranged the rest, but there may be many guests coming by then. As the dean, I'm afraid I have to get closer to them."
"Are there any more guests coming?"
Lin Ping'an was a little surprised, but he reacted instantly, pointed at the four people in front of him and said with a smile:
"Could it be that you have called everyone from your respective families?"
These four people are all wealthy people from all over the world. According to Lin Ping'an's consciousness in his previous life, when a happy event happens, don't they always invite relatives and friends to come and have fun?
Unexpectedly, the four of them shook their heads when they heard this. Liu Wushuang said:
"My four families are all too far away. If we wait for them to come over, it will take at least two or three months, so we didn't notify them this time."
Lin Ping'an felt a little strange now and asked doubtfully:
"Then who are the guests you are talking about?"
Jiang Xingzhou and the other two looked at each other again, with a strange expression on their faces. Song Zhice asked hesitantly:
"Dean, didn't you send an invitation?"
Lin Pingan was stunned for a moment, stared at the four people and said:
"No, you haven't sent an invitation to anyone?"
Jiang Xingzhou and the other four were dumbfounded. Wei Wuya looked at Lin Pingan eagerly and asked:
"Miss Zhuque, didn't you in the yamen also send it?"
Lin Pingan shook his head.
"Where's Tai Hospital?"
Lin Pingan shook his head again.
Jiang Xingzhou suddenly panicked and asked again:
"Where are Master Shi and the Queen?"
Lin Ping'an could only shake his head again. To be honest, he never thought of holding an opening ceremony, let alone inviting people for it.
At this time, the four of them were suddenly a little discouraged. You looked at me and I looked at you, with a hint of frustration in your heart.
"It's still my fault!"
Jiang Xingzhou blamed himself secretly: "If I had known earlier, I should have told him these things, why wouldn't I have not even invited a distinguished guest now."
Liu Wushuang also wanted to slap himself. He never thought that Lin Ping'an didn't even understand this little bit of human sophistication. For such a big thing, he didn't even invite a single guest!
Song Zhice coughed dryly and forced a smile:
"Forget it, it doesn't matter since you haven't invited me. As long as Jiu Qiansui can come by then, there will be a big boss to support the occasion."
Lin Ping'an looked at him strangely and asked:
"You invited Lao Wei?"
Song Zhice scratched his head. He didn't know how the dean in front of him felt about Wei Zhongxian, so he said with embarrassment:
We made the decision without permission before we had time to report it to the dean.
Lin Pingan waved his hand and said with a smile:
"I don't know what other people think of Lao Wei, but I personally think he is quite a good person. We are just an academy, what kind of political party are we? As long as he can come, we will welcome him."
Hearing Lin Ping'an's words, the four of them breathed a sigh of relief. After all, Wei Zhongxian's reputation among the people of the Ming Dynasty was not very good, and he was a devil in the eyes of the Donglin Party members. If it was too obvious to be friends with Wei Zhongxian, it would be invisible. Zhong stood on the opposite side of the others.
"By the way, since you invited Lao Wei, didn't you invite anyone else?"
Lin Pingan asked again.
"I've invited you, but I don't know if they will come."
Song Zhice said: "We also had some connections and sent invitations to the adults in the court."
"Then it doesn't matter. As long as the etiquette is met, it's none of our business whether you can come or not."
Lin Pingan said.
The four of them nodded, feeling a little disappointed, because in their hearts, it was impossible for the dignified Nine Thousand Years Old to attend the opening ceremony of a small academy.
As for the other ministers, they probably won’t come either.
Seeing everyone's somewhat disappointed expressions, Lin Ping'an comforted and said:
"Whether a college is famous or not does not depend on who attends the opening ceremony, but how attractive our college itself is, so we just try to make our college a good place. With the sycamore tree, are we afraid that the phoenix will not come? "
Hearing this, the four of them felt a little ashamed, and suddenly felt that their own situation was too small, and they couldn't help but look at Lin Ping'an sideways again.
After Jiang Xingzhou and the other two left, Liu Rushi hurriedly ran in from the yard. She had been secretly lying by the door just now, listening clearly to the words of several people in the room. At this moment, she looked at Lin Ping'an. Full of admiration.
"Master, is that Zhulin Academy very big?"
Liu Rushi asked timidly, his eyes full of curiosity.
Lin Ping'an smiled, looked at Liu Rushi, who had not yet fully grown, and said:
“I heard that hundreds of people have signed up, so the scale should be considered relatively large.
how? Do you also want to study in that academy? "
Liu Rushi pouted and whispered:
"I think about it, but I don't know if the academy will accept them."
Hearing this, Lin Ping'an immediately laughed. He knocked Liu Rushi's head with his hand and said with a smile:
"Master, I am now the dean of the academy. If you want to go, you can definitely go."
Liu Rushi's eyes lit up and she said with a bright smile: "But there have never been female students in the academy. If I go, will I break the rules?"
Lin Pingan thought for a while, and then he realized that what Liu Rushi said seemed to make sense. In ancient times, those who entered academies were men who wanted to gain fame. Most women could only enter private schools to study, and by the age of fourteen or fifteen, She got married, so there are almost no female students in the academy.
This is not a good sign... He said to Liu Rushi:
"Master, this academy is unique. Anyone, male or female, regardless of age, can come to study as long as they are willing. If you want to go, just sign up."
Liu Rushi was still a little hesitant and said hesitantly:
"But if I go, Master, will you be unhappy?"
"Why am I unhappy?"
Lin Ping'an asked a little strangely.
"Master brought me back, didn't you want me to serve you and be your concubine from now on?"
Liu Rushi asked stammeringly. Although he was very young, he grew up in a brothel and his mind was much more mature than that of ordinary girls, so he asked the questions in his heart directly at this moment.
Lin Ping'an was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly, knocked Liu Rushi's head with his hand, and gasped:
"What are you thinking about in your little head all day long? Master, I brought you back. I just don't want to see you stay in that place."
Lin Pingan was telling the truth. Although Liu Rushi was one of the Eight Beauties of Qinhuai in history, her fate was ill-fated, which was really not a good thing for a woman.
Moreover, Liu Rushi in history was not only good at playing chess, calligraphy and painting, but also had a strong character. This is what Lin Ping'an admires the most. This is the reason that he cannot explain clearly to Liu Rushi at the moment.
Hearing Lin Ping'an's words, Liu Rushi said, her voice seemed a little relieved, but also a little regretful.
So she glanced at Lin Pingan with some resentment, turned around and left without saying a word.
"Why are you unhappy again?"
Lin Ping'an looked at Liu Rushi's back and felt very puzzled, but a chuckle came from his ears:
"Master, if you say that, I'm afraid you'll hurt this girl's heart."
