During the famine, my ancient well connected to modern times

Chapter 96 Mrs. Gao

Magistrate Gao returned to the backyard of the county government office very unhappy. Seeing that he was unhappy, Mrs. Gao thought it was the county government office that had encountered something difficult, and gave her a few words of comfort.

But he was scolded bloody by Magistrate Gao.

Mrs. Gao was shocked when she learned that her son was causing trouble outside. She thought it was a big trouble, but he just got last place in the school.

"Master, Hui'er has just started school and hasn't gotten used to it yet. The teacher at the school is really serious. How can we take the test at this juncture? We should wait until the students have taken the entrance exam. And we know that our Hui'er's grades are not good. Well, how can it be made public? It hurts Hui'er's heart too much. They simply don't take the master seriously anymore. The master should give them a hard slap."

Mrs. Gao blamed all the mistakes on the county scholar and did not think it was her son's fault at all.

Magistrate Gao frowned slightly, "It's your son who failed to live up to his expectations, but you still blame the master? You still want to slap someone else's fault. Do you think the school is run by your family?"

Mrs. Gao shook her handkerchief and sat down on the chair, "Why don't you blame them? If they were willing to teach Hui'er well, Hui'er's grades wouldn't be so bad."

"After all, they still have no ability. I told the master before to invite Mr. Zhuang to my home, but the master refused to listen and said that he had offended someone."

Mrs. Gao rolled her eyes, "If you ask me if he offended someone, what does it have to do with our family? As long as he has real materials and can teach our family Hui'er."

Magistrate Gao was naturally aware of Mr. Zhuang's talents. When he learned that he was going to stay in Yuzhou, he had thought of inviting him to his home. However, even the governor could not invite Mr. Zhuang to his home. How could a small county magistrate be able to attract people?
If you really ask for help, wouldn't you offend the governor?

Besides, based on his understanding of his son, Mr. Zhuang would probably look down on him.

Magistrate Gao's face darkened and he said displeasedly: "Mr. Zhuang has let so many talented people go, but he will accept your son? Stop dreaming."

"Why can't you get in?" Mrs. Gao was unhappy, "Our Hui'er is very smart, that is, he didn't do well in the exam once. Sir, you can't think that Hui'er is not good just because of one exam. If Hui'er hears about it, there will be some consequences. How sad?"

"You are simply incomprehensible."

Mrs. Gao was famous for being a spoiled child, and sometimes even County Magistrate Gao couldn't do anything to her.

Mrs. Gao was dissatisfied that the master disliked his son, and she was even more dissatisfied with Mr. Zhuang's pretense of being aloof. "Mr. Zhuang is just a white man at best. Let him be the wife of the county magistrate's son because he thinks highly of him. This is Huachang County. If he wants everything to go smoothly If you live in Huachang County, don’t you have to curry favor with us?”

Mrs. Gao became angry when she thought that she had sent several cartloads of gifts without even seeing Mr. Zhuang. No one in the entire Huachang County dared to deny her face like this.

After thinking about it, he simply encouraged the master, "Didn't you say before that Mr. Zhuang offended the Governor? I guess the Governor doesn't like him either. If you find an excuse to kill Mr. Zhuang, maybe the Governor will reward you." "

Magistrate Gao is certainly not a fool to be able to sit in this position. "What do you know? Those are all rumors. With the governor's mind, if Mr. Zhuang really offends him, can he tolerate Mr. Zhuang?"

Magistrate Gao breathed out, "There is most likely something wrong here, so instead of being difficult for Mr. Zhuang, we must be polite."

Magistrate Gao thought of something, his face darkened, and he stood up directly.

Mrs. Gao called him several times from behind, stamping her feet in frustration, and vented her anger on the maid, "Go and call the young master over."

The maid trembled and said, "Madam, the young master went out to have a drink with his classmates and said he wouldn't be back tonight."

"Why should you have a good drink? Didn't you see that the master lost his temper?"

After all, Mrs. Gao felt sorry for her son, and waved her hand, "Forget it, I think he has poor grades and is in a bad mood. It would be good to have a drink to relax his mood. Send someone to keep an eye on him. Don't let him What trouble did it cause?" "Yes." The maid breathed a sigh of relief.

Mrs. Gao was also angry when she thought of her son's poor performance, but she would not blame all the faults on her son like Magistrate Gao. She would blame the teachers in the school more.

But what's the use of blaming them?

Wouldn't it be worse if they gave their son small shoes later?

After thinking about it, Mrs. Gao came up with a good idea and called the housekeeper, "Go and ask, are there any famous talents in our county? Those who are not well-off are in urgent need of money. If you find one, take him with you." come over."

Although the housekeeper didn't understand what the lady wanted to do, he still agreed.

For two days in a row, Jiang Miao didn't show up. Only then did Luo Tingye realize something was wrong. He opened Jiang Qian's door and said to him who was busy writing: "Did Jiang Miao say anything to you when he left?" ?”

Jiang Qian looked up in astonishment and suddenly realized that two days had passed. He had been studying the examination papers for the past two days, but he didn't realize that his sister was not back.

"I didn't say anything, just..."

Thinking of what Jiang Miao said, Jiang Qian's expression changed.

"What is it?"

"She just asked you if you have ever liked a woman before?"

Luo Tingye's heart suddenly tightened, "Have you told her?"

Jiang Qian's face darkened. Could it be that in His Highness's mind, he was a snitch?
It must have underestimated him.

"I have never seen His Highness being emotional towards that woman, so of course I told the truth, but I don't know what people outside say about you."

Luo Tingye frowned, feeling a little uneasy. In fact, although he was not married, he had several concubines in the East Palace.

Most of them were arranged by the palace, and he had forgotten how many there were specifically. According to the regulations of the palace, once the prince reaches the age of 13, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will arrange for the palace personnel to warm the bed.

But he could swear to God he didn't do anything.

At first, when the palace was arranging people for him, something happened to General Ye. His thoughts were all on the Ye family and he didn't care about the affairs of men and women. Later, the Ye family was robbed and something happened in the palace. He was a little more wary of people sent from the palace, and he had never touched them so far.

Seeing how nervous he was, Jiang Qian smiled and said, "I have never seen His Highness be so nervous about a woman. Could it be that His Highness really loves Jiang Miao?"

Luo Tingye's face suddenly darkened, "Do you think I'm taking advantage of her?"

Did Jiang Miao think so too?

Luo Tingye felt as if a large ball of cotton was pressing on his heart, making it difficult for him to breathe.
