Chapter 107 Invitation to participate and then go to Luoyang
"Brother, what do you want to say on the post?" Seeing that the thank you letter was so strange, Xie Yi couldn't help but ask.
"Do you still remember the competition held on our school's anniversary?" Xie Xin raised his head and asked.
"Remember! That competition is really unforgettable, but what does that have to do with this invitation?!" Xie Yi was completely confused at the moment.
"It's very relevant!" Xie Xin shook his head, "Prefect Qin reported this competition to His Majesty. As a result, His Majesty was obviously very interested in this competition, so he planned to hold a competition in Luoyang, inviting the civil and military ministers in Luoyang, and even
It is ministers who have already retired from office and are participating."
"Brother, let me tell you what you said. I can understand His Majesty's invitation to ministers of civil and military affairs to participate in the competition, but those ministers who are too old to move, why are you inviting them to participate?!" Xie Yi asked again.
"It's very simple. This is a good opportunity to increase the relationship between Your Majesty and his ministers, or even former ministers, through competition. As long as the organization is properly organized, Your Majesty can even easily gain the loyalty of the other party.
However, it is obvious that this competition, especially involving sports, is not suitable for those elderly ministers to participate. In order to take care of this group of people, His Majesty allowed them to send a family member or even a disciple to participate.
And this invitation in my hand is my teacher's invitation to participate in this competition as a representative of the Li family." Xie Xin held the invitation and waved it in front of Xie Yi while explaining to him.
When Xie Yi heard this, he finally understood. But after thinking about it deeply, he felt a little strange.
"Don't Mr. Li have children and grandchildren? And you are not the only one of his disciples? Why don't you choose them, just the eldest brother?!" Xie Yi asked.
"First of all, at least five people from each minister's family must participate in the competition; secondly, the teacher's son is not interested in this competition, and the eldest son is already on duty at the border and is not easy to recall. Anyone in the Li family who can do anything can do it.
He is the teacher’s grandson Li Bin.
But with Li Bin, four more places were needed. So the teacher naturally searched all the students he had taught before, as well as the young talents in the family. In fact, my name was in the final list of contestants!" Thank you!
Xin didn't bother to explain any more and handed over the invitation directly.
"Then, are we going?!" Xie Yi asked.
"How can a disciple neglect the teacher's orders? They say that the Lord of Heaven and Earth is the master. Since Li Ying is my teacher, I must obey his orders!" Xie Xin replied helplessly.
"But what about the classes at the Huaxia Private School?!" Lou Gui popped out of nowhere and asked.
"Of course classes will be suspended temporarily, and then everyone will go to Luoyang to watch the competition!" Xie Xin replied matter-of-factly.
"You mean, all of us?!" Mao Jie walked over and asked in surprise.
"Of course! It's not an option for everyone to stay in a private school in China all their lives. Going to Luoyang together to see things will be very helpful for their future lives!
Especially this kind of competition organized by His Majesty, which brings together the world's elites, is more interesting than the competition in our private school?!" Xie Xin said with a smile.
"It's just that there are so many people going together. Let's not talk about safety issues. Let's talk about how to solve the problem of food and accommodation?!" Mao Jie asked doubtfully.
"Since it is organized by a private school, the private school will naturally pay all the required expenses!" Xie Xin gave a thumbs up and said proudly.
"Teacher, I suddenly feel that you are not very good at managing money..." Mao Jie stroked his forehead and whispered.
"Same feeling!" Xie Yi and Lou Gui immediately echoed.
"Anyway, we are short of money. Instead of letting them get moldy and rusty in the Qiankun Bag, it would be better to spend them to promote the economy of the Han Dynasty!" Xie Xin said nonchalantly.
"What is the connection between spending money and promoting the economy?!" Mao Jie asked curiously.
"Well...it's a long story..." Xie Xin began to explain eloquently.
When he explained what he knew about the messy economic principles, he suddenly discovered that more than an hour had passed.
Look at the three of them again. Although their necks are sore and their feet are numb, they are in good spirits. Moreover, there is an expression called 'admiration' shining in Mao Jie's eyes, which makes Xie Xin feel proud.
Got a handful.
"Teacher, can you tell me about the economic knowledge in detail?" Mao Jie obviously wasn't satisfied yet and asked following the thank you letter.
"When we set off later, I'll just tell you slowly on the way. Now you split up and announce it to everyone. Same as the last trip south, those who want to go can go, and those who don't want to go can stay.
Come down and study!" Xie Xin didn't want to continue this topic for the time being, so he simply dropped the topic.
"Okay!" Seeing that the thank you letter had been arranged, the three of them naturally had no choice but to announce the news.
In the end, everyone in the private school signed up, and even Xie’s mother, who barely left the school, wanted to visit Luoyang.
Therefore, Xie Xin officially announced that all members of the Huaxia Private School would be dispatched for this competition!
Of course, two people didn't go.
One is Gongsun Kai, the housekeeper. He not only looks after the house to avoid thieves, but also prevents others from breaking into the inner courtyard.
The other one is Zuo Ci. He gave him the Heavenly Weapon Talisman Seal in a thank you letter before, and he is still studying it. This guy has all the necessary factors for a scientific madman. As long as he is obsessed with the research of one thing, he can completely ignore everything else.
But because he was looking after the house in the inner courtyard, there was no need for anyone to break into the inner courtyard secretly.
After all, the inner courtyard is so big that it can't be covered by just barking evil dogs.
The thank-you letter gave the students two days' leave and asked them to go back and talk to their families.
Two days later, all the students who had returned home returned to the private school.
Their parents were obviously very happy about this collective action.
It's just that their parents obviously don't expect to take advantage of the thank you letters, so every student has already bought all the necessary things.
This behavior made Xie Xin breathe a sigh of relief, because he had really forgotten to prepare daily necessities for these students to use along the way.
Fortunately, when the army went south last time, every student got a lot of money. The family's life was much better, and there was enough money left for these little guys to go crazy.
Seeing that everyone was ready, Xie Xin immediately announced that everyone was heading to Luoyang.
So, amid a burst of cheers, everyone mounted their own horses, and Xie's mother and other female family members were also helped onto the prepared carriage.
The group of people marched toward Luoyang in a mighty manner.
While resting along the way, Xie Xin keenly noticed that Wang Rong looked a little strange.
"What's wrong? What's on your mind?!" Xie Xin came to her side and asked in a low voice.
"Luoyang is where he lives. I will go with him, right..." Wang Rong lowered his head sadly.
"Has he met you before?" Xie Xin asked.
"No, our marriage was arranged by our parents' generation. We have never seen each other since we were young." Wang Rong shook his head.
"Since none of you know each other, are you worried that he will recognize you?!" Xie Xin asked with a smile.
"It's not that I'm worried that he will recognize me, but that I don't know how to face him..." Wang Rong lowered his head shyly.
"Do you like him?!" Xie Xin asked curiously.
"We have never met, how can we like him?! It's just that I am his fiancée after all. Even if my father is missing, if I meet him, I don't know what identity I will use to face him.
It's better..." Wang Rong said helplessly.
"I have already written a letter about your father and asked Gongsun Sheng and the Xun family from Yingchuan to help find it. But there is no reply at this stage. I'm afraid he is not in Youzhou or Yuzhou..." Xie Xin said lightly at first.
Seeing that her expression was a little downcast, he continued: "Your father's matter needs further investigation. But regarding your marriage, without elders around, everything is groundless, and the marriage contract will naturally not be established.
.
This time, as a spectator, you go to Luoyang to watch the game, have fun together, and then return to the Huaxia Private School happily.
Then, before you find your father, be my assistant and help me compile textbooks, copy books, etc."
After hearing the words of thanking the letter, Wang Rong raised his head, gave him a clean eye and said: "To be honest, I have experienced the consequences of being an assistant to a lazy person..."
Since she became an assistant, Xie Xin has read whatever comes to her mind, and she has to record it all, and then organize the teaching materials properly based on what she said and after consultation with Xie Xin.
The whole process is a torturous thing.
"Hahaha..." Xie Xin giggled sheepishly.
At this stage, any explanation is more useful than a giggle.
The group of people walked like this for three days and finally came to Luoyang, the political center of Luoyang again.
