Luo Gong laughed when he heard Wen Min say this, and he smiled with satisfaction: "My cousin said this, I feel relieved. This time I left home, because I was in a hurry, I only took a little money with me."
Wen Min heard Xian Ge and understood the elegant meaning, so he said: "I still have some private money on hand, I will send it to you later. But you are staying well in the capital, why do you come so far away?"
Mentioning this matter, Luo Gong couldn't help but elongate his face and said: "My family told me that I am a concubine from Qinge's hometown. Cousin, you know me and don't care about my status. I am a concubine and a concubine.
It's all the same. But that girl from the Qin family is too ugly, and I will never marry her anyway."
It turned out that it was for marriage. Wen Min held back her smile and said, "As the saying goes, marry a virtuous wife. If you think that the girl from the Qin family is not good-looking, just have a few more beautiful concubines in the future."
However, Luo Gong still kept a straight face, making it clear that he did not want to talk more about this matter.
Wen Min said: "I don't care if you run away from home, but I am your cousin after all, and I can't just watch you wandering around outside. Let's do this, you will live in the county government office from now on."
Luo Gong was not a law-abiding person, so he immediately wanted to reject Wen Min's kindness.
But Wen Min didn't allow him to say more, "If you don't agree, I will go to the capital to write a letter saying that you are in Huai'an County. If you live here honestly, I will help you hide this matter."
.Until you change your mind."
Luo Gong didn't want to ask Wen Min for help at first, because he was afraid of this. If his cousin informed him, he would have to return to the capital.
But I had no choice but to ask Wen Min to borrow some money.
Originally, he wanted to borrow money and leave, but he never thought that Wen Min would be so difficult to deal with, threatening to report to his parents if he didn't stay at the county government office.
Luo Gong weighed the two and could only choose to agree to Wen Min's request.
This was expected by Wen Min. This cousin had not endured hardships since he was a child, otherwise he would not have spent all his money just a few months after leaving Beijing.
She thought about it silently. This cousin was born to escape, and she was afraid that if he stayed in the county government, he would probably cause trouble. Later, she would have to find a way to send him to the county school or academy.
In the evening, when Magistrate Zuo came to see Wen Min, Wen Min told him about Luo Gong.
"My cousin has always been favored in the Luo family. I'm afraid he will cause trouble if he stays in the county government. Otherwise, you can write a letter of recommendation and ask him to go to the county school and stay for a few days."
County Magistrate Zuo pondered for a moment and said: "The county school is mostly filled with people's children. I'm afraid that if cousin Luo goes to the county school and causes trouble, I, the county magistrate, will be in a dilemma! If I stand on the side of
If you take Cousin Luo's side, you will inevitably offend the local squires. If you side with the squires, wouldn't you offend your cousin?"
Wen Min knew that Magistrate Zuo found it troublesome, so he said calmly: "Then what do you think we should do?"
County Magistrate Zuo thought for a while and said, "It's better to let Cousin Luo go to Wenhua Academy! This Wenhua Academy is very famous, so it's not an insult to Cousin Luo."
At Wenhua Academy, Wen Min curled her lips. If she told County Magistrate Zuo about Han Liang at this time, Magistrate Zuo would find ways to do it, not to mention Luo Gong's desire to enter the county school or even the government school.
But she didn't want Magistrate Zuo to know about Han Liang, so she just nodded lightly: "Then it's up to you and let my cousin go to Wenhua Academy!"
When Luo Gong learned that he was going to Wenhua Academy, it was already two days later.
At that time, he was basking in the sun, sipping good tea and eating snacks made in the small kitchen.
When Luo Gong heard the news that he was going to the academy, he suddenly felt that the sun was no longer warm, and the tea and snacks were no longer fragrant.
Changgui saw his young master wailing and couldn't help but said: "Sir, since you are so unwilling to go to the academy, why not have a good talk with Mrs. Wen."
"I'm afraid that as soon as I say no, my cousin will threaten me with the matter of returning to Beijing." Luo Gong sighed, "I would rather face those rotten scholars who are so angry that I don't want to go back and face that innocent-looking man.
Miss Qin. That's all, isn't it just an academy? Master, haven't I attended many academies since I was a child?"
So the next day, Wenhua College had one more student.
The principal of Wenhua Academy was originally unwilling to accept a student like Luo Gong, but he could not withstand Magistrate Zuo's plea.
Although the mountain chief is not afraid of the power of Zuo County Magistrate, he is still the head of a county, so he has to sell his face.
However, when Luo Gong was brought to the academy by the Zuo County Magistrate, the mountain chief still inspected his knowledge.
Luo Gong is a smart man, but as his father said, all his smartness is used for romance and heresy.
It's not that he has no talent for reading, it's just that he doesn't naturally like those scriptures.
However, sometimes in order to deal with his wife and father, Luo Gong would reluctantly read for a while.
The mountain chief's expectations of him were not high, and the questions he asked were not profound.
Therefore, Luo Gong passed this level very easily.
Magistrate Zuo breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that he had finally lived up to his wife's trust. As for the mountain chief, he also breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the other party was not without any knowledge.
Luo Gong, on the other hand, followed the mountain leader to the outer house nonchalantly.
Because of the different levels of students, the academy is divided into three schools: outer school, inner school and upper school.
Most of the students who have just entered the outer house are students. If they perform well in the outer house, they can enter the inner house. And if they perform well in the inner house, they can enter the upper house.
Wei Yan, Yuan Ziwen and Qu Huan were all in Shangshe.
The mountain chief was also worried that people like Luo Gong would cause trouble, so he arranged for him to live outside. This way, he didn't have to worry about Wei Yan and others being disturbed by him.
But people like Luo Gong, who are naturally restless, are the same wherever they go.
On the first day he entered the outer house, because he couldn't figure out the situation clearly, nothing happened for the time being.
At lunch time the next day, the handymen brought the students' lunches one by one.
When Luo Gong saw the two vegetarian dishes, he wanted to put down his chopsticks. For a person like him who loves meat, two vegetarian dishes in one meal was nothing, but if he ate like this every day, Luo Gong felt that he would starve to death sooner or later.
He was thinking about ways to improve the food in the academy when he suddenly smelled the aroma of meat on the tip of his nose.
A busboy passed by him holding a plate of meat and vegetables, and then placed the dish in front of a fat white man.
Luo Gong also recognized the fat white man, he was a student from Waishe.
Because this fat white man was born white and fat, and because his surname was Bai, everyone privately called him Bai Mian Steamed Bun.
As soon as Fatty Bai picked up his chopsticks, his eyes dimmed. Someone sat opposite him without any explanation. He picked up a piece of chicken with his chopsticks and started eating in front of him.
"This chicken is overcooked and not tender enough." Luo Gong commented while eating, "It seems that the cook is not good enough."
It took Fatty Bai a long time to react, "You are so brave, you dare to touch my things."
"What's yours and mine?" Luo Gong nonchalantly picked up another piece of meat and ate it, "We are all in the academy. If there is something delicious, of course we have to share it together. Why are you the only one who can enjoy this meat dish when everyone is vegetarian?"
Seeing the quarrel here, Qu Huan, who was eating over there, said to Wei Yan and Yuan Ziwen: "This new student is very cool, but he is brave enough to dare to touch the white-faced steamed buns."
Fatty Bai is the nephew of the mountain chief. Because the chief is afraid of his wife, Fatty Bai relies on his aunt's support to run rampant in this academy for more than a day or two.
Qu Huan had suffered a lot at the hands of this fat white man, and now that he saw how miserable he was, he couldn't help but secretly applaud.
Fatty Bai was used to being arrogant, so when he met someone like Luo Gong who didn't buy it, he immediately became angry. The two of them quickly started fighting.
Luo Gong relied on his agility and rich practical experience, and quickly gained the upper hand. However, he could not resist Fatty Bai's prestige, so he quickly recruited several younger brothers. When Luo Gong saw that the situation was not right, he nimbly turned around and prepared to run away.
Unexpectedly, Fatty Bai refused to let him go. He picked up a coarse porcelain bowl on the table and threw it at him immediately.
Seeing the rough porcelain bowl heading towards Luo Gong's head, a broom suddenly stretched out from the thorn and blocked Luo Gong's face.
As the coarse porcelain bowl fell to the ground, Luo Gong also turned around, saw the fragments on the ground, and realized that he had escaped a disaster.
"Thank you for your help, brother."
The person who blocked the coarse porcelain bowl for Luo Gong was none other than Wei Yan.
Seeing the other party's words of thanks, Wei Yan pursed his lips and was about to speak when Fatty Bai came over aggressively.
"Boy, stop here!"
Luo Gong dodged and hid behind Wei Yan, "I don't want to."
He has a very flexible mind. If the fat man can eat meat and vegetables, he must have a backing in the academy. And Wei Yan can save him. On the one hand, this person has good character, and on the other hand, it shows that his status in the academy is not low.
Sure enough, what he expected was right. Wei Yan greeted Fatty Bai and said, "In the final analysis, it's his fault. He shouldn't have touched your things. But you also taught him a lesson just now, so the two will cancel each other out!"
Fatty Bai was a little reluctant, but because the mountain chief had told him not to provoke the people in Shangshe, especially Wei Yan and Yuan Ziwen.
Fatty Bai is able to run rampant in the academy, even though he is fighting against his aunt, but he also knows the stakes and knows that his aunt, the head of the mountain, cannot be easily offended.
He stared at Luo Gong bitterly, and finally said: "Okay, for the sake of your Wei Yan, I will spare him a life today."
