Chapter 2288 The Boy Looking for Aunt Hou
Meng Yunzheng was about to leave Dong'an Mansion, and the house was empty.
He has been very busy these days. After all, the academy has just opened, and he is always indispensable for early stage matters.
The first day was for enrollment, the second day was for admission, and now on the third day, Meng Yuncheng had to prepare for the opening speech.
He had to personally take charge of these matters, so he stayed in the academy for the past three days without even returning home.
It was just the wedding period after all, so he kept Shu Yu with him, so he wouldn't have to sleep alone at night, which was somewhat comforting.
After three days, the academy finally calmed down and began to get back on track in an orderly manner.
However, the grand occasion of the founding of Zhenglu Academy was still talked about by many people and spread far and wide.
At this time, a young man from Fucheng, next door to Dong'an Mansion, was coming in a carriage. When he heard the news about Zhenglu Academy, he paused and said to the book boy next to him, "It seems that Meng Zhuangyuan's academy is very successful. Tell me, can he allow me to stay in the academy?"
The bookboy made a sad face and said, "Master, you have studied well in the Imperial College. Why do you have to come to this remote place? Even if there are two great scholars here and a top scholar who passed the sixth grade, they are not as powerful as the Imperial College." .”
"You don't understand, people like Yao Bo are here."
"But Yao Xiucai had the consent of his family. You ran away secretly. When you return to Beijing, I will definitely break your legs." After all, the young master has always been obedient, but suddenly he is so rebellious. How can I not be angry to death? ?
The young man said seriously, "What are you talking about? Why did I sneak out? I have serious business, and I even left a letter to my father."
"What serious business do you have?" The book boy muttered softly. How can he go to the small academy to study as seriously as studying in the Imperial College?
The young man took out a letter from the small box behind him and waved it in front of him, "I am here to deliver a letter to Aunt Hou."
Shutong, "..." How serious is this? Is it worth giving credit? Aunt Hou will naturally see it when she returns in a few days, and she won't find a better excuse.
The young man put the letter back, lay on his back in the carriage, and said to himself, "I will send a letter to Aunt Hou. Aunt Hou has a good relationship with County Master Lu, and County Master Lu is the beloved wife of Chief Meng Shan. Then I will Let Aunt Hou say a few words for me, and it will be fine for me to stay."
"But you and Aunt Hou have a normal relationship. She may not say good things to you." What's more, Aunt Hou is the master's aunt. She has been very favored in the past few years. Although she has not given birth to a son, who knows in the future?
How many aunts in this house want a legitimate son? Even if she is afraid that Aunt Hou will cause trouble behind her back and use this opportunity to make the master dislike the young master, she may not necessarily do so.
Of course, the book boy only thought about these words in his heart and did not dare to say them out.
The Wan family does not allow slaves to provoke the master behind his back, especially the slaves closest to the master. Once discovered, they will only be sold at a low price.
"Let's speed up. I heard them say that this academy has been open for three days. If I go later, they might not accept people."
The young man sat up again and asked the coachman to hurry up.
So after noon on the third day, a pair of dusty master and servant suddenly came outside the gate of Zhenglu Academy. If you look carefully, you can see that they are still a bit embarrassed.
The young man knocked on the door of the academy. When the concierge opened the door, he asked in surprise, "Who are you looking for?"
"We're looking for Aunt Hou... No, we're looking for Chief Meng Shan."
