Chapter 167; Planning
Seeing her confused look as she didn't understand the situation, Lu Mingxi smiled and explained.
"Just now, my grandfather saw that they were confident, so he asked them when they would be able to get the number one scholar, and they would be honored."
"Wen Yuan said that he didn't want to be the number one scholar, but wanted to be the most beautiful man."
"Then Wen Fu said that he was ugly and that he should be the one to be the best man."
Lu Yaoyao looked at the two of them blankly.
She also knew that the competition in ancient scientific examinations was quite fierce. Let alone the top three, some families would be very good even if they could produce a scholar. If they could win the title of Juren, their ancestors' graves would be filled with smoke.
Not to mention Jinshi, third overall, second place, number one, etc.
Among them, Tan Hwa Lang also pays attention to it. Not only does he need to be outstanding in knowledge, but he also needs to have a good image.
Not to mention he must be rich and handsome, but at least he is a handsome guy.
But I have never heard of such a short and dark-looking man.
"Cousin, don't just look at it, take a look at me or Wen Yuan, who is more suitable to be the bride's father?"
Lu Wenfu also stood up, his face full of anticipation.
"Well, in terms of appearance, you two are actually pretty much the same."
"But before I say who is more suitable, I have a question."
"You ask."
Lawrence Lu smiled and spoke.
"What fame do you two have now?"
As soon as these words came out, the two people who were looking so cheerful just now immediately withered.
"Giggle."
When Lu Mingxi smiled, the old man sitting at the top also burst into laughter.
Although Lu Yiyi didn't quite understand why her sister and grandfather were laughing, she still laughed along with them.
Only the Lu Wenyuan brothers were withered and dull.
"What's going on here?"
Lu Yaoyao looked puzzled again, completely unaware that her question just now was a fatal critical damage to brother Lu Wenyuan.
"My cousin doesn't know something. They both have been studying for a long time, but they haven't even passed the Tongsheng test yet."
"Well"
Tong Sheng hasn't even come down yet, but he's thinking about visiting Hwa Lang. Isn't this making trouble?
Although I think it's a bit ridiculous, as a cousin, it's natural that I can't express my thoughts, so it would be really mean and offensive.
"That's okay, it's good to have a goal and a pursuit."
"Don't be discouraged, cousins. I believe you will succeed in the future."
"Yes, as long as you two study hard, you will definitely succeed."
Mr. Lu also smiled and spoke.
The two of them were still half-grown children after all. They quickly recovered from the critical damage just now and were smiling and thinking about the future.
"By the way, grandpa, since my cousin has already started studying and has been in the capital for a while, will their homework fall behind?"
"This is what I'm worried about. A few days ago, I asked your uncle to quickly clean up the house. He came back last night and told me that it would be done in two or three days."
"What I mean is that we will move there after everything is packed up, and then we will find a wife for them both."
Lu Yaoyao nodded.
"To find a good one, I have to ask Grandpa Wen for help with my wife's affairs. He knows many scholars."
"Don't talk about finding a great scholar, you have to find someone with real talent and learning. Money doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if you spend more."
"In times of peace and prosperity, studying and taking scientific examinations is the right way to change your family."
Mr. Lu nodded repeatedly.
In fact, ever since the Lu family started their business and started making money, the elders of the Lu family have always wanted to let their children and grandchildren study.
The business portal is fine in a small place, but if it is placed in a large place, it is really not very popular.
Let’s not talk about the capital, let’s just say that the Lu family is in Jiangdong, which is just a town. The Lu family’s wealth, if not ranked first in the town, is definitely among the top three.
However, the status is not very high. Not to mention those with official status, even ordinary poor scholars do not think highly of the Lu family.
There is no way, who can let two or three generations of the Lu family come down without producing a single scholar?
As long as there is a scholar, the Lu family's family will look a little better.
"Yao Yao is right, so I discussed it with your two uncles earlier and waited until we got to the capital to see if we should spend more money to get a clan school."
"After all, your cousins also have a few men, and your uncles also have quite a few of them."
"It's a good idea, but there's no need to worry."
"The Lu family has just arrived in the capital not long ago, and most of its roots are still in Jiangdong. We will wait until we have a firm foothold here and pass on the business from Jiangdong."
"The next thing is, to start a clan, you need to find some masters with extraordinary knowledge. As my grandfather doesn't like to hear, given the current situation of the Lu family, I'm afraid it won't be that easy to find one."
Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and scholars in ancient times were quite proud.
The only thing that is looked down upon is a merchant's house. They will definitely not be happy to let those knowledgeable and famous scholars come to the Lu family to study. After all, they are still working for merchants, which is not a good statement.
"I've thought of this too."
Mr. Lu was also helpless.
"But I do have an idea."
"Oh? Tell me about it."
"I can be considered a member of the Lu family, and I have a small title now. If a clan school is to be established, it might be better to do it in my name."
As soon as these words came out, Mr. Lu quickly thought about it, and after a while, he clapped his hands and laughed.
"Yes, this is a good idea."
"However, what you just said is correct. It is still too early to say this now. The Lu family has not yet established a foothold in the capital, and the main force is still in Jiangdong."
"Don't be in a hurry. We will take your time with this matter later. I will visit your Grandpa Wen tomorrow to see if he can help recommend a wife, or a private school, etc. First, let your two cousins go there and learn from it.
.”
Lu Yaoyao nodded.
After staying with the old man for a while, Lu Yaoyao returned to his Fulinyuan.
However, on the way, she was thinking about what she had just learned about her family. There were many children in the village outside the city.
Those are all people who work for her. Should there be a school or something in the village? Not to mention letting those children have some kind of fame and be able to read and write. That would be great too.
With this idea in mind, she immediately got into the study and started planning.
From now on, she will live there for a long time. She has already asked Lao Kang to help renovate the farm. In addition to the place where she lives, there is also a small industrial area, which will require a lot of labor.
At that time, more families will come there, and it will be necessary to set up a school or something, so that not only can we train the children of our subordinate families, but we can also cultivate some talents for our own career in the future.
In the next few days, Lu Yaoyao was planning this area. Since he wanted to do it, he had to do it well there.
During this period, she asked Qiu Shuang to go to Baizhen Tower to transfer a large sum of money to the village and hand it over to Lao Kang, asking him to find a way to buy all the surrounding wasteland or hills.
With the money she gave him earlier, Lao Kang bought more than 10,000 acres of wasteland around the farm.
Among them, there are two barren mountains, which are already quite large, but she still wants to buy more. They are not afraid of the space and will be convenient to use when she has any ideas in the future.
