"Steward He, I want to discuss something with you."
Village Chief Zhao was very happy to see everyone busy with the private school affairs.
He suddenly remembered something and went to He Shun to ask for help.
"What's the matter, Brother Zhao, just tell me." He Shun said with a smile.
"About the private school... on the day of its inauguration, I would like to invite Mr. Liu to attend the inauguration ceremony. Is it possible?" Village Chief Zhao said with an earnest expression.
He Shun got the idea of Village Chief Zhao.
Although he didn't say it explicitly, he also knew that Village Chief Zhao's purpose was to ask him to come forward and invite Liu Honglai to attend the inauguration ceremony.
This is not a big deal, it is a practical thing done by the young master for the people. It is not a big deal to invite Liu Hong to participate.
"I'll try to edit a letter for Mr. Liu to see if he has time." He Shun didn't finish his sentence.
Village Chief Zhao's face was filled with joy. Since Butler He agreed to this matter, unless Liu Hong was dismissed, it would definitely be possible.
Bah, bah, bah, how could Mr. Liu be dismissed?
He had been looking forward to it for so many years, and finally a private school was set up in the village. It was such an exciting and proud thing to hold the inauguration ceremony under the glory of the county magistrate.
Thinking of the words of the county magistrate patting him on the shoulder, "Education has been successful", Village Chief Zhao felt that his actions had lived up to Liu Hong's praise.
Village Chief Zhao thought of this, grinned and cupped his hands towards He Shun: "Thank you, Butler He."
When Shenshu Village was in full swing preparing for the village private school, Bai Erzhuang also resigned from the head of the Tan family.
The head of the Tan family felt it was a pity, but also knew that he could not be retained, so he had no choice but to agree to his resignation in ten days.
"Second brother, I wrote five big characters yesterday, look at it." Bai Zhaomei showed Bai Erzhuang the big characters she wrote last night.
Bai Erzhuang coughed several times, and Bai Zhaomei quickly called Master.
"It's not that the chicken claws were scratched. I can barely see." Bai Erzhuang said with a straight face.
"Is it true? My sister said the same thing yesterday." Bai Zhaomei said, using the small lucky round as a command arrow.
"Don't use your sister as a cover. Please give me a good endorsement today. You are not allowed to look around in class." Bai Erzhuang heard his sister's face soften.
"Second brother, dad and grandma said that I was right to hit Li Jin. If he still dares to say that third brother and fourth brother, I will beat him again. My master gave me some pointers last night and guaranteed that he would not be in pain on the spot. I will sleep at night I know how to roll on the bed." Bai Zhaomei looked embarrassed.
"Save it for yourself. We'll go back in a few days anyway. Li Jin is a man who will retaliate for his evil deeds. You must make sure that you and him are in peace these days and don't fight for a moment of leisure." Bai Erzhuang told Bai Zhaomei.
Bai Zhaomei thought about it and decided not to cause trouble to her second brother, so she nodded in agreement.
After talking to her second brother about some family matters, Bai Zhaomei returned to the classroom and met Li Jin in the corridor.
Li Jin snorted and said, "You are not polite when you see your senior brother. This makes our school even more disgraceful."
Bai Zhaomei ignored him, rolled up her sleeves to show off her muscles, and said, "Senior Brother Li must want to try my fist again."
Li Jin was angry, pointed at Bai Zhaomei and said: "You, you, you."
It's been a long time since you came up with something, scolded Bai Zhaomei for not practicing martial ethics, and ran away with oil on the soles of your feet.
Bai Zhaomei cursed in her mind, she was just a coward, no wonder she only talked behind her back.
In the next few days, Li Jin always walked around Bai Zhaomei when he saw her, and he no longer had the arrogance of his senior brother.
One day at noon, Bai Zhaomei took out the dry food she had brought with her and stood with Dalang Sanlang outside the classroom under the shade of a tree to have lunch.
I heard someone talking across the wall.
The private school is close to the river. The river is full of lotus flowers in summer. There are often people enjoying the lotus boats. The sound of laughing lotus picking can often be heard from across the wall.
In two days, they will take a break from school and they will take A Zhen's boat to participate in the Lotus Festival with Xiao Fuyuan.
Just thinking about it makes you feel good.
Listening to the whispers outside, Bai Zhaomei only thought it was the lotus collector whispering outside the wall.
The more I listened to the voice, the more familiar it became, like that guy Li Jin having a private meeting with someone.
outside the wall.
Li Jin stood on the shore, and Xu Jiaojiao stood a foot away from him.
"Master Li, all your letters are here. Please return my veil to me, and we will be clean from now on."
With a cold look on her face, Xu Jiaojiao handed the pile of letters back to Li Jin.
Li Jin didn't reach out and asked with a surprised look on his face: "Jiaomei, what's going on? It's so good, why should it be cut in two?"
Xu Jiaojiao sneered: "Don't talk nonsense."
Seeing Xu Jiaojiao's resolute look, Li Jin asked sadly, "Jiao sister, does your father-in-law disapprove of our marriage? I can go to your house. As long as I can talk to your father-in-law, he will definitely recognize me as his son-in-law. "
Xu Jiaojiao sneered: "Li Jin, you take yourself too seriously."
After hearing this, Li Jin's expression suddenly changed, and he returned to his usual humility for just a moment.
Xu Jiaojiao wanted to insert her own eyes. She was blind before, how could she fall in love with such a person.
These few, while her father was busy opening a new shop, her mother went to her grandfather's house to have a private meeting with Li Jin.
Later, the maid Xiaomei was worried that Xu Jiaojiao and Li Jin would end up causing trouble, and she would be the first one to sell out, so she reminded Xu Jiaojiao's ears every day.
Xu Jiaojiao felt very annoyed and still carried her father on her back every day to have private meetings by the river behind the private school.
A few days ago, she was boating on the river to enjoy lotus flowers, and saw Li Jin and several students playing in the water from a distance.
So he ordered the boat girl to row the boat to the shore, hoping to give Li Jin a surprise.
Unexpectedly, on the shore, she heard words that made her blood surge.
"What's the use of being a scholar? I'm not a poor scholar. It's too hard to get fame, so it's better to live in poverty."
"You know that the richest man in Nanguan Town, Shopkeeper Xu, has only one daughter. Now I am fascinated by it. Although she is not very beautiful, for the sake of her family's money, I will be patient for the time being and wait until she and I get married. If you live in Xu’s shop, it’s not up to me to decide how many beautiful concubines you want to have in the future.”
"Huh, get married. Even Bai Sanzhuang is not willing to get married, so why should I? I'm no better than Bai Sanzhuang. I just have Xu Jiaojiao's brains, just coax her away."
…
Xu Jiaojiao hid in the boat, and her blood surged after hearing Li Jin's unbearable words.
She wanted to get off the boat and strangle him to death, but was held down by the maid Xiaomei.
After returning home, Xu Jiaojiao became angrier and angrier as she thought about it. When she calmed down and thought about it, she realized that her encounter with Li Jin was full of deliberateness.
At that time, Bai Sanzhuang refused to marry into the Xu family, and Xu Jiaojiao left the house in anger to listen to a play.
There were a lot of people watching the show, so she stood outside and stood on tiptoe in a hurry.
At this time, an elegant scholar took the initiative to give his seat to her and stood behind her to prevent her from being squeezed by others.
From then on, she would meet him when she went to Zuiqingfeng to buy roast chicken, she would meet him when she went to clean up the shop, she would meet him when she went to buy cakes...
She thought it was fate, but after hearing Li Jin's words, she understood it after thinking about it carefully.
It turns out that it was all designed by Li Jin.
The more Xu Jiaojiao thought about it, the angrier she became. She had never been so angry before.
Even if Bai Sanzhuang doesn't want to get married, it's because of his ambition, not because he dislikes her.
What a good Li Jin, who not only wants to be a rich man, but also has a hard time eating soft rice.
She wanted to talk to Li Jin, but Xiaomei stopped her.
She felt sick when she thought that Li Jin had her handkerchief and that she had a letter written by Li Jin in her hand.
So, regardless of Xiaomei's obstruction, he took the letter to exchange for the veil, and vowed to make a clean break with Li Jin.
