The person who spoke earlier was actually fooled by him as soon as he spoke the truth. After hearing Cao Dejiang's scolding, his face turned red: "Then what is the Lu family doing?"
"Yes, Lu Chongyuan can't be kind-hearted." Others also talked about it.
Cao Dejiang vaguely guessed something, and looked at Qian Baokun thoughtfully: "Qian Shangshu, is the matter with the Lu family because of the things that Miss Song asked them for a few days ago?"
Qian Baokun laughed and said, "Mr. Cao is still wise. I heard that Governor Xiao was stabbed and seriously injured in the suburbs of Beijing the day before yesterday. Yesterday, a young lady from Song Dynasty handed a writ of paper to Jingzhao Mansion and the palace to sue the Lu family. The marriage contract coaxed the Lu family into repaying her grandfather's relics. Lu Zhongshu went to Jiuyun Lane yesterday night and was carried back after vomiting blood. Most of the half of the collection of books is worth those things. "
Everyone around was shocked when they heard this: "Then how much did the Lu family steal from the Yiyang County Lord, and they can't even pay it with their family wealth?"
"Who knows." Qian Baokun shrugged.
Qian Baokun finished speaking, leaving room for others to have endless daydreams, and walked away leisurely with his hands folded.
His troublesome daughter asked him to help the little girl from the Song family. This should be enough. If he talked more, the Lu family would find trouble with him later.
That stinky girl took away his personal money and caught him drinking wine with some colleagues. If his wife knew that he had seen other girls, he would probably rip off her ears.
Qian Baokun left, but his words were like a basin of hot water poured into hot oil, making everyone else boil.
I thought something was wrong with the Lu family who suddenly did something good, but it turned out that they were "gifting" books because they were greedy for other people's things and couldn't repay them.
Ah!
Someone ridiculed: "You are from a well-established family, and you are greedy for the dowry of a young girl who has not yet married into another family."
"They are so shameless, and they dare to say that they are giving away books, bah!"
It’s not too embarrassing!
No matter what their background, no one of them could do anything to tamper with the dowry of the female family members. Some people could not help but curse: "No wonder the Yiyang County Lord wanted to break off the engagement with the Lu family and made trouble about the engagement." of uproar.”
"I originally thought that this little girl acted too openly, but now I know that she was forced by the Lu family. Fortunately, the Yiyang County Lord had seen clearly the Lu family's face early, otherwise, after marrying into such a family, she would still be Are you going to be chewed up by them until all the bones and dregs are left?"
A group of people were talking, their words were full of ridicule, and they were full of contempt for the Lu family.
Cao Dejiang had heard his sister talk about the Lu family and Song Tangning earlier, and he couldn't help frowning with disgust at this time. Although he didn't join in those people's discussions, he still despised the Lu family.
All the ministers in the corridor were talking about the Lu family's affairs. The sensation caused by the Lu family's previous "book gift" was overshadowed by their greed for the dowry of a girl who had never been married. When they arrived in front of the second gate, the ministers had not yet Before they had time to disperse, someone from afar saw them and quickly stepped forward to greet them, standing in front of Cao Dejiang and Marquis Wenxin.
"Mr. Cao, please wait."
"Who are you?"
"Shun'an, my dear, I have something to ask of Duke Cao and Marquis Wenxin as ordered by the governor."
Cao Dejiang and Marquis Wenxin both looked surprised. They had never had any contact with Xiao Yan, and they were not on good terms with each other. What could Xiao Yan have to do with them?
The young eunuch named Shun'an lowered his head: "The two of you above should already know about the affairs between the Yiyang County Lord and the Lu family. The Yiyang County Lord is unwilling to quarrel with the Lu family for money, and he also deeply understands that students all over the world are seeking education. It was difficult, so we agreed to let the Lu family use half of the books in exchange for what they had taken away previously, and these books, as well as some of the lone ancient books left by Grand Tutor Rong, will all be sent to the academy for students to borrow in the future."
"My governor is not on good terms with the Lu family, and his knowledge is not as good as the two of them. The governor of Yiyang County is young and ignorant. The governor is afraid that she will be deceived by the Lu family, and is also afraid that the Lu family will go back on their word and find something to fool my girl, so I want to I want to ask Duke Cao and Lord Marquis to take time to accompany the Lord of Yiyang County to visit the Lu family and go to the Lu family library to select books, and on the day of the opening of the academy, I also want to ask Duke Cao to inscribe on the Wende stele."
After Shun'an finished speaking, he looked up at the courtiers behind Cao Dejiang and the others.
"Of course, you all are also talented people. The Lu family has too many books. It would take more than one or two people to choose a shared academy. My governor said that if any of you are willing to go to the Lu family, you can also go. After the college is completed, your achievements will be recorded on the Wende Monument, and all students who borrow books from the college in the future will be grateful to you."
As soon as Shun'an finished speaking, all the courtiers were extremely quiet.
Cao Dejiang's eyes flashed, and Marquis Wenxin also showed an expression of emotion. The other courtiers seemed to be quiet, but their eyes fell on Cao Dejiang and the two of them, but their suddenly tense jaws and faintly excited eyes could show that they were The restlessness in my heart.
Let's not talk about the Lu family's collection of books that make people covet them. The Lu family has never opened these things to the outside world. It is even more difficult for non-Lu family blood to set foot in the Lu family library, but now they have the opportunity to go and take a look.
What's more, the books I helped select will be sent to the newly built college in the future. The college has the Rong family and the Lu family collections, which are enough to attract students from all over the world. In the future, it will become a holy place for students in Beijing Middle School. The Wende monument is even more personally decreed by His Majesty. It's a gift. If you can leave a mark on it, it will be an opportunity to be famous for future generations.
Who wouldn't want to?
Not to mention the excitement of the courtiers, even people like Cao Dejiang, who usually didn't care about unexpected things, couldn't help but feel excited.
Cao Dejiang said: "Not only did Governor Xiao have a request, but he also wanted to benefit the students all over the world, so I am naturally obliged to do so."
Marquis Wenxin also said quickly: "Although I am not as knowledgeable as Duke Cao, I can do some transporting. When the Lord of Yiyang County goes to the Lu family, he only needs to send someone to inform him, and I will definitely accompany him."
Seeing that the two agreed, other courtiers also spoke one after another.
"I can too."
"I can go with you too."
"My father-in-law, please tell Governor Xiao that we are willing to accompany the Lord of Yiyang County to the Lu family."
"Yes, don't worry, Governor Xiao. With me waiting together, the Lu family will not fool the Yiyang County Lord, nor will the County Lord suffer."
Shun'an listened to the courtiers who were usually dignified and aloof, all talking about how they wished they could go to the Lu family immediately. He bowed slightly and laughed.
"Then I would like to thank all of you sirs on behalf of my governor and the county boss. I don't know when the Lu family will be able to prepare the collection of books. When they invite the county boss to come over, they will definitely send someone to inform you."
Everyone hesitated when they heard this, and Cao Dejiang's eyes narrowed slightly.
Children from aristocratic families have always had no shortage of ways to advance, and those books are not that important to them. However, for students from poor families, they are like rain from the sky, and they are opportunities that they could not even ask for in the past.
The mayor of Yiyang County was righteous and willing to sacrifice his own interests to benefit the poor students. Even if there was more or less Xiao Yanwei's plan to deal with the aristocratic family, those students could get tangible benefits.
But can the Lu family really be willing to collect so many books? What if they pretend to delay or even take the opportunity to cheat...
Cao Dejiang's face darkened.
These collections of books must be given to the Lu family even if they don’t want to!
If they want to delay, then make it impossible for them to delay.
