The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1103 It's time to come

Back at Zhuangzi, Xuan Shijing only felt comfortable physically and mentally. After dinner, he went back to the room with Jinyang, hugged Jinyang and slept until dawn, and then got up to have breakfast.

Breakfast is ready in the hall.

"What is Jing'er going to do in Zhuangzi again? Early this morning, Zi Shuo came to tell me that a group of craftsmen from the Institute of Engineering have come to Zhuangzi and are ready to recruit people." Wang looked at Xuan Shijing Said: "Seeing that the New Year is coming, why are you so anxious, can't wait for next year?"

"Mother, I plan to build a school on the Zhuangzi. Aren't there many children in our Zhuangzi who roll around in the crop fields all day. It's a pity to waste such a good time." Xuan Shijing said: "Since we It’s their master’s house, so it’s right to think about them, my son plans to build this school in the winter and the first month, and let Zhuangzi’s children who are willing to go to school start to attend classes in the school next spring.”

"This is a good thing. It's just a matter of the school. It's easy to do. Even if it is to build a school and recruit students, it only costs some money. Since the school is going to be built, what about the master? What about the daily expenses of the students? Naturally To be counted, the village is full of peasant households. Although the past few years have been better, there is not much money left in their hands throughout the year, and there is not only one child in the family. I am afraid that they cannot afford it. The most important thing is not Regarding money matters, the Marquis of Qian’s Mansion has plenty, but the most important thing is the matter of the master, does Jing’er know it well?”

"Mother, don't worry, my husband has invited Mr. Gao Shilian, who is about to become an official, to come to Zhuangzi to teach. Naturally, there will be no problem with this sir." Jin Yang said.

"Master Gao is going to retire?" Wang was surprised.

"Yes, Mr. Gao is my son's teacher. I heard that my health has not been good for the past two years. My son visited the teacher's house the day before yesterday. The teacher's body is really not suitable for going to court like this. If we go on, I'm afraid there won't be many days, so let the teacher come to Zhuangzi to teach, and take the opportunity to cultivate and recuperate, so as to take good care of your body."

I am ashamed to say that Xuan Shijing and Gao Shilian are indeed a teacher-student relationship, but for so many years, Xuan Shijing has met Gao Shilian in the court hall and knows how to give gifts during the festivals. I have called on Gao Shilian.

In the past two years in Chang'an City, it's easier to talk about. In the past few years, I hardly climbed the gate of Gao's mansion.

If Jin Yang hadn't mentioned Gao Shilian, Xuan Shijing would not even have known that Gao Shilian was so seriously ill.

Today's Xuan Shijing and Gao Shilian are also related. Gao Shilian is the uncle of Empress Changsun, that is, Jinyang's uncle. Now that Jinyang is married to Xuan Shijing, Gao Shilian has become Xuan Shilian Shi Jing's uncle.

"In this way, it is a good thing for Mr. Gao to become an official," Wang nodded and said, "So, since Mr. Gao is going to come to Zhuangzi, don't neglect him."

"Mother, don't worry, everything has been arranged for the baby." Xuan Shijing said.

After dinner, Xuan Shijing was going to change clothes and go out for a walk. Just after changing clothes and going out, a craftsman from the engineering college ran to the gate of the Hou Mansion.

"What's the matter? You're in a panic." Xuan Shijing looked at this person and asked.

If this person was not wearing the clothes of the Engineering College, the guards at the gate of the Hou Mansion would have driven this person away long ago.

"Hou Ye, Hou Ye." This man may have run away in a hurry, and he was a little out of breath when standing in front of Xuan Shijing and talking.

"Don't worry, speak slowly, be gentle first." Xuan Shijing said, patting the man on the back.

Good guy, look at this appearance, if you can't get up and then pass, it will be lively.

"Master Hou, when we were choosing a site for Mr. Gao's house, a group of monks came. They took a fancy to the site we chose and said they wanted to hold some puja there," the craftsman said.

"Monk?" Xuan Shijing frowned.

After all, these monks came to Dongshan County, and among the prefectures and counties near Chang'an City, Dongshan County is considered the wealthiest. There is also no shortage of wealthy businessmen, those monks who want to preach, naturally they will not let go of a place like Dongshan County, not only can preach, but also charge a lot of sesame oil money.

"That's right, it's a monk from Fahua Temple in Chang'an," said the craftsman.

Fahua Temple, this monk temple has a little relationship with Xuanzang, but just like that, dare to go to Dongshan County to play wild?This Dongshan County is the fiefdom of Dongshan Hou, and these craftsmen got their orders to choose a place to build a house. Why should they compete with these craftsmen for the place?
"Let's go, Benhou will go take a look with you." Xuan Shijing said.

The craftsman nodded quickly.

"Come on!" Xuan Shijing shouted towards the door of his house.

Immediately, guards ran out from the mansion and came to Xuan Shijing.

"What's your order, Master Hou?" The guard bowed his hands.

Xuan Shijing took off the jade badge from his waist, and threw it to the guards: "Go to the camp of Zhuangzi Shangfu soldiers, transfer two hundred soldiers, and let them go west along the market road, where is the Marquis waiting for them!"

"Yes!" After the guard responded, he took Xuan Shijing's jade badge and ran to the camp of the soldiers.

The craftsman Xuan Shijing made such a big commotion that even the army was about to be dispatched, so he didn't dare to say more, and simply led the way silently.

After walking for less than a quarter of an hour, I arrived at the place the craftsman said. This place is between the farmer's residence on Zhuangzi and the market in Dongshan County. It is a good location, and that's why we agreed The address of Gao Shilian's house is chosen here, and when the school is completed in the future, it will not be too far away from the school, it will be in the middle of these three, and there will be no delay anywhere.

When Xuan Shijing arrived, the craftsmen of the engineering college were still arguing with those monks, but those monks had already started to build the platform.

"Everyone in Fahua Temple, when did the territory of my lord and even my orders no longer work?" Xuan Shijing walked into the crowd with a cold face, looking at the group of people in Fahua Temple with cold eyes. monk.

"Amitabha, see Lord Dongshan." The leading monk walked across to Xuan Shijing, clasped his hands together and sang the Buddha's name, which was regarded as a salute to Xuan Shijing.

"Don't dare, Master's salute, I can't bear it." Xuan Shijing turned his head, turned his body sideways, and made the monk's salute too much.

This monk was wearing a bright red cassock, while the rest of the monks were only wearing monk robes made of cloth. It seemed that this monk still had a certain status in Fahua Temple.
