82, Chapter 82(1/2)
Qin Zhao really wanted to try it.
He has never wronged his husband in life, not to mention that he now has a son to raise, and the expenses will not be small. Compared with those hard-working jobs, being a husband to a wealthy family is naturally the best choice.
"But that young master Gu seems to be very difficult to deal with. He has already driven away many gentlemen..." Jing Li was still worried.
Qin Zhao didn't care much about this: "There will always be a way, don't worry."
However, there was still some unfinished work at home and he couldn't leave her for the time being, so Qin Zhao was not in a hurry.
In the next few days, they purchased supplies in the city, and after waiting for the custom-made furniture to arrive at their home, they decorated the home according to their preferences.
On the afternoon of the second day after the decoration of the mansion was completed, Qin Zhaocai brought up the old matters again.
When he said this, Jingli was feeding the fish cubs. When he heard this, he turned his head and looked at him: "I'll go with you."
The little fish cub raised his head after finishing a mouthful and saw that Jing Li was holding the broken egg yolk and was still not feeding it, swimming anxiously in his hand.
"No need." Qin Zhao said, "This kid can't live without anyone now. You can't take him with you wherever you go."
Jing Li: "Why can't you do it anymore? Didn't you take me out with you before?"
Before Xing Li could not transform into a human form, Qin Zhao also carried him around the village every day.
Thinking of the past, Qin Zhao walked up to Jing Li, deliberately chose an angle where the fish cubs could not see him, lowered his head and kissed him on the lips: "Aren't you afraid that my little fish will be eaten by the cat at home?"
The little fish cub jumped higher in the water.
Jing Li didn't notice what his son was doing at all. He even put the egg yolks he was about to feed back into the bowl. He raised his hand to straighten Qin Zhao's collar: "I know, I'll stay with your son at home."
"Be good." Qin Zhao said again, "I'll buy whatever you want to eat later."
"As long as it's what you do."
Qin Zhao: "Okay."
His little fish are getting easier and easier to raise.
The two fathers finally finished feeding their son before he was about to jump out of the fish tank. Qin Zhao turned around and went out, while Jing Li continued to feed his son.
"I know, I'll feed you right away."
Jing Li threw two egg yolks to him, shook his head and sighed: "I'm so greedy, I don't know who I followed."
Zai: "..."
Qin Zhao did not go directly to Gu Mansion, but went directly to another place.
"This is Jiangling Fuxue. Who are you looking for?" A young man stopped him outside the gate of the Fuxue.
Qin Zhao bowed to him and took out a letter from his arms: "People from Linxi Village are here to find an assistant teacher named Ye. This is a letter from the village chief to Assistant Teacher Ye."
The young man took the letter and nodded: "Please wait a moment."
He turned around and entered the private school. After a while, he came out with a message: "Assistant Professor Ye is answering questions in the study. Come with me."
The young man led Qin Zhao in.
Jiangling Prefectural School is considered to be the best among the twelve prefectures. The reason is that Jiangling Prefecture attaches great importance to education and has a great reputation in the Prefectural School. Qin Zhao followed the boy through several lecture halls in the front yard and walked through the long corridor.
We arrived at a more secluded courtyard.
As soon as I walked through the hanging flower gate, I heard some arguments: "The students think what Brother Li said is inappropriate. Even if the meaning of this sentence is understandable, but in terms of its profound meaning..."
The young man took Qin Zhao to the eaves and said, "Wait here for a moment, the student is going back."
Qin Zhao: "Thank you very much."
The door to the study room was open, and Qin Zhao stood under the eaves and heard clearly the debate inside.
What the two students in the room were arguing about was nothing more than the interpretation of the classics. Even the scholars of this dynasty had no judgment on these contents. Naturally, they could not come to a conclusion just by arguing.
Sure enough, after Qin Zhao listened quietly for a while, he heard another old man in the room say leisurely: "What you all said is reasonable. It is useless to argue here. Go back and write an article for me each. Go ahead."
"Yes, sir."
As soon as the words fell, two young men in their twenties walked out of the room.
Later, an old man over fifty also stepped out of the house.
"Are you Qin Zhao?" the old man asked.
Qin Zhao saluted the old man: "Mr. Ye."
Assistant Professor Ye looked him up and down for a moment and said with a smile: "I know you. Previously, Professor Ye went to participate in the prefectural exam marking. When he came back, he said that this year's prefectural exam produced the best essay. The prefect was very happy and decided to be the leader of the case on the spot.
.”
"I've read that article, and it's really disappointing."
Qin Zhao: "Mr., you have too much praise."
The old man had a kind face and no airs at all. He brought Qin Zhaolin into the study and poured him a cup of tea: "I have been friends with your village chief for decades, and he asked me to take more care of you in his letter. But let me tell you, with your situation
With the title of "Double Case Leader", I can take you under your tutelage and ask for it, so why do you need me to take care of you?"
The entrance requirements for Gangneung Prefectural School are strict. It is not enough to pass the prefectural examination. You must have excellent grades, good conduct, and a certain reputation. Therefore, there are many students who come to seek connections and open back doors.
However, even if you submit the list through connections, you still have to go through the entrance examination, and the selection of students is very strict.
But Qin Zhao shook his head: "I am not here to study in a government."
Assistant Professor Ye asked: "Then you are here..."
Qin Zhaodao: "I heard that the Gu family in the city is recruiting students from the government school."
Hearing this, the smile on Assistant Professor Ye's face completely faded: "You mean the Gu family who weaves and spins? That's what happened."
He seemed quite resentful about this matter and said coldly: "We did select some students for them earlier, but they were kicked back within a few days and were very angry. The young master of his family had no intention of studying at all.
If the Gu family didn't have a good relationship with the prefect, why would the prefecture school care about them?"
"What are you asking for? You don't know..."
Qin Zhao: "I wonder if Mr. Ye can recommend me."
The requirements on the Gu family's notice have been reduced from being a scholar to being a scholar, or a student with outstanding academic performance in a government school. But given Qin Zhao's current conditions, he did not meet this requirement.
Therefore, he needs to find an intermediary to introduce him.
"Your conditions are better than most students in the government school, but..." the old man paused and persuaded, "but you have to think carefully, this is not a good job."
Qin Zhaodao: "I have thought it through carefully."
The old man was silent for another moment and sighed: "Well, let's give it a try. I happen to be free this afternoon, so I will go with you."
Assistant Professor Ye found a carriage and took Qin Zhao to Gu Mansion.
The Gu Mansion is located on the main street of Fucheng. There is a plaque hanging in front of the door, and there are two magnificent stone lions squatting on both sides of the stone staircase leading up to the door. The generosity of the mansion can be seen just from the front door.
Compared with this mansion, the government mansion opposite, which is a few hundred steps away, seems a bit shabby.
The carriage stopped in front of the Gu Mansion, and a doorman immediately came to greet him. He saw the person clearly and bowed first: "Mr. Ye, are you looking for my wife?"
"Yes." Assistant Professor Ye asked, "Can Madam be in the house?"
"Yes, please wait a moment, I will go and inform you."
The doorman quickly ran into the house, and the two got off the carriage. Qin Zhao asked: "Madam?"
"Master Gu's husbands were all chosen by Mrs. Gu herself." Assistant Professor Ye said, "Don't worry, Mrs. Gu comes from a scholarly family and treats us scholars with kindness and courtesy."
This can also be seen from the polite attitude of the doorman towards them.
The master must be a good tutor.
I can teach such a well-behaved servant, but I cannot teach a child well.
Qin Zhao sighed in his heart.
He looked at the plaque of the Gu family above his head and asked, "Master Gu, doesn't he care about this?"
"You don't know this. The weavers and spinners have to pay tribute to the palace with new silk cloth before winter. Mr. Gu is busy with these things all day long. I heard that he went to the county to supervise the silk production in person a few days ago. How could he
Does Kung Fu care about these little things?" Assistant Professor Ye explained.
Qin Zhao was silent for a moment, his eyes still not moving away from the plaque.
The reason he wants to come here is not just to make money.
Ever since he saw Mr. Gu outside the restaurant last time, he wanted to come here again.
He always felt that... Mr. Gu seemed familiar.
The doorman came back soon and led them into Gu's mansion through the small door on the side.
They arrived at a reception hall in the side courtyard. As soon as they sat down, another maid came in to serve them tea.
Even the maids in Gu Mansion were extremely beautiful. Qin Zhao turned a blind eye and just lowered his head and took a sip of tea.
Although they were allowed to enter the house, Mrs. Gu did not appear immediately. Qin Zhao was not impatient and just drank tea by himself. After drinking a cup of tea, the maid came up to get another cup. It was not until the third cup of tea was added that the tea was completely cold.
There were footsteps outside the door.
The maids in the room nodded and saluted, and said in unison: "Madam."
The beautiful and gorgeous woman entered the house surrounded by two maids, and whispered: "Everyone, please get out."
All the maids: "Yes."
Assistant Professor Ye and Qin Zhao also stood up and saluted Mrs. Gu.
"You two are excused, please take a seat." Mrs. Gu sat down at the front seat and looked Qin Zhao up and down. Seeing that the other party had an extraordinary bearing, she showed an approving look, "Are you a student of Fu Xue?"
