Liu An Hua Ming You Yi Village

Chapter 123

However, Lord Lu called Zhou Jiaoyu and Du Youzhong over, and gave them a scolding. After all, it was caused by the students of the county school, and it was also the result of their lax discipline!

"In the future, the county school can no longer be like this. All students who come to the county school to study will have to live and eat in the county school." Lord Lu said.

He wants to strictly manage the people in the county school, so that one or two who are full are not going to wander around with nothing to do.

Besides, I also have selfish intentions, so that the future son-in-law can be more strict so that he can improve himself.

Although Lord Lu's future son-in-law is a widower, he only has two daughters in front of him and no son. The daughter will marry in a few years, so this is one of the reasons why Lord Lu can agree to the marriage.

My daughter is going to marry, and there has already been a tryst, so what else can I do if I don't get married?
But this is definitely a disgrace to Lord Lu!

Zhou Jiaoyu said: "My lord, if you want to eat and live in the county school, it will inevitably increase the cost of the students. This is a problem. In addition, there is no place to provide accommodation for the students in the county school. This is the first time. Two questions."

Master Lu directly interrupted Zhou Jiaoyu's words, "I don't care about these problems. You are the teacher of the county school. You can't solve this problem, so what should you do? As for the increase in fees, don't they Don’t you have enough food in normal times? It’s just that it’s not a problem at all to move the money from the host to the west.”

Du Youzhong said: "My lord, can you allocate a sum of money for us in terms of the county government's expenses? After all, the place to live can't be solved, and it can't be changed out of thin air."

If it doesn't work, then ask for money directly, after all, there is nothing you can do before you leave.

There are a few vacant houses in the county school, but they have been in disrepair for a long time and are now uninhabitable.

"My lord, if the place to live can be rested in an empty house in the county school, it won't cost much. As for the food, the students can choose it themselves, or have it delivered by their family members, or go to the county school. Learn to eat. This way it won't be too embarrassing."

Master Lu just lost his temper, and knew that what he proposed was a bit tough, now seeing that Du Youzhong could offer some opinions, he went down the steps.

"Well, I'll leave this matter to you, and let the yamen pay some money to repair it. At least the county school will be managed well. People with bad character are not qualified to be this scholar!"

On the way back, Zhou Jiaoyu and Du Youzhong looked at each other in blank dismay. It was really the officer who opened his mouth and broke his leg.

First of all, not to mention the problem of housing and accommodation, it is the problem of food. If you live in the county school, you must hire someone who is in charge, and you have to buy it. , Some people don't even go to the county school, but go directly to teach in private schools. They can't let people not teach, but come to study instead. Maybe their Shuxiu is related to the family's food and drink.

It is impossible for all the students to stay in the county school.

This is also not in line with the actual situation.

"Brother Du, look at this situation, it's really difficult to handle." Zhou Jiaoyu smiled wryly, what's all this? Could it be that all the students were really called together to study every day?This is not a child reading, it is simply impossible.

Du Youzhong said: "Brother Zhou, why are you so troubled? Master Lu said that, but everyone's actual situation is different. Let's solve this matter slowly." With one word, Master Lu's anger will disappear without a trace up.

Moreover, "You and I know why Lord Lu is like this. As long as someone obediently enters the county school, I am afraid that Lord Lu will turn a blind eye to the rest."

"That's right, Brother Du, what you said is that many students who are not students are still willing to go to the county school to study. I thought just now that if Lord Lu really wants to do that, why don't we recruit more students like this? Anyway, those who can afford to study in the county school should have good family conditions, and they are happy to let people live in the county school. But in this way, the advantage of the students will be reduced, and it will not be good for the reputation of our county school. .”

So it can only be delayed, at least, it is definitely not easy for the county government to get money.It was the first year that Mr. Lu was a talent, and he valued money more, so first of all, he had to make sure of Mr. Lu's prospective son-in-law. This was the shortest way.

It's true that the emperor and the courtiers belong to each other, Zhou Jiaoyu has a deep understanding, but Mr. Lu, the magistrate of the county, can't even manage his family members well. Although a man is informal, the incident in the backyard directly affects the front office, which is very inappropriate. up.

After Du Youzhong came home, Du Dalang and Hu Xin both came back, "You two came back just in time, I have something to talk about. Yu'er, go and prepare meals with your mother."

Du Erlang is studying in a private school and hasn't come back yet.

When Du Yu saw his father, his eldest brother and his eldest cousin, he had something to discuss.Originally, she wanted to hear it too, but seeing her father's serious expression, she didn't dare to be here.

Alas, as a daughter, why can't she be used as a good helper to solve difficulties?Could it be that I usually act too stupid?But it won't either.She thinks she is not stupid, sometimes people say she is smart and sensible.

The sky began to heat up again, and the greasy food made people unappetizing. Du Yu made jelly, which was also given to her by the fifth aunt Chen.

Eat jelly at noon, full and appetizing.

Over there, Du Youzhong told the elder son and Hu Xin about what Lord Lu said about the county school today.

"Tell me, what would you do if you encountered this situation?"

Both of them thought for a while, and Du Dalang said: "Although Mr. Lu is the county magistrate, it is impossible for him to make decisions about the county school alone. There are also county magistrates and county officials who need to discuss. In addition, the county school The students are all famous people, not ordinary students, and many of them have family backgrounds, if such a decision is made regardless, some students will definitely not be happy."

So you can take advantage of this and bargain with Mr. Lu, don't think that you are the county magistrate, you can make your own decisions on everything.There are also many students with backers in the county town, and a word they say at home can also change Lord Lu's mind.

Du Youzhong nodded and asked Hu Xin, "Xin'er, what do you think?"

Hu Xin said: "In my opinion, there are eight or nine out of ten chances that this will not happen. Since Mr. Lu is only worried about his son-in-law, why don't someone give him an idea, let him keep his son-in-law by his side to study? Or It was taught by the magistrate himself, and he himself is a Jinshi, wouldn't it be justifiable to change his name?"

Du Dalang said: "In this way, Mr. Lu's family will have a happy event."

To be a real son-in-law is to be taught in a legitimate way, isn't it?

Du Youzhong chuckled, these two boys have not worked in vain these past few years, they are very sharp in their thinking.

So why did he use the drag formula? He knew that it was impossible for the students in the county to be in charge of food and lodging, and they would definitely be backlashed. Since Mr. Lu can agree to his daughter's marriage, then there is still something for this future son-in-law. expected.

Besides, none of Lord Lu's sons and grandsons have succeeded in studying, and now there is a talented son-in-law, isn't it right in his arms?

The initial annoyance will disappear as time goes by.

"Okay, everything you said is good, wash your hands and eat. I don't know what Yu'er is doing today."

Of course Du Yu made jelly, and then he took a few cucumbers and put garlic and vinegar in them. Eating more garlic is good for the body. Anyway, after brushing his teeth after eating, he didn't ask questions anymore.

When Hu’s new garlic came out, he bought a lot of it and made sweet and sour garlic by himself.

"Yu'er's craftsmanship is getting better and better." The eldest cousin took a few mouthfuls and found it very appetizing, "What is this thing made of?"

Du Yu said: "Just use sweet potato flour, wash it several times, keep the essence, and then dry it to become white powder (starch). When you want to eat, take out the white powder and mix it with water. Cook them together until a certain degree, and it will become a transparent gelatinous thing. Put it in a basin, put it in cold water, and it will become such a white piece. Cut it with a knife and put it Add salt, vinegar, chili powder, etc., and it’s jelly!”

"That's right. Simple and useful things are cheap. I never thought sweet potatoes could be made like this."

"I went out to a place, and they had something called Liangpi. It turned out to be a large piece of hot water, which was thinner than this jelly."

Mrs. Hu just heard it, and asked: "Scald on boiling water? This is too strange, won't it cook things?"

"No, he put a thin iron basin on top of the boiling water, and poured it directly into the iron basin." Hu Xin said with a smile: "Gu, if there is a chance, I will make it for you too." have a look."

"What nonsense are you talking about, you are a scholar, why do you have to work in the kitchen? It's really outrageous." Hu said hurriedly.

"Mother, my eldest cousin is willing, and besides, there is no rule that Mr. Xiucai can't enter the kitchen." Du Yu said.

Hu Xin also hurriedly said: "Gun, people from a family like us don't have that much particularity. It is also a skill to be able to cook a few dishes. Isn't my uncle also able to show his hands in the kitchen? I am just a scholar. It's nothing at all."

That's right, what my big cousin said is right, mother really went out to socialize a lot and listened to a lot, so I think men shouldn't come into the kitchen?

But at this time, the vast majority of men do not enter the kitchen, especially this rich family.It's a joke when the hostess enters the kitchen.

But if you are interested, it is not a big sin to enter the kitchen.

"By the way, I have to deliver lunch to my second brother." Du Yu stood up, his second brother was studying in a private school, and Du Yu delivered the lunch at noon.Anyway, Du Yu usually has nothing to do at home, so he and Hu take turns doing it.

Both Du Dalang and Hu Xin stood up and said, "Don't go, Yuer, let's go."
