Chapter 144 A fake recommendation letter
At the gate of Zhuxian Academy, with petals flying, an ox cart slowly stopped, and a girl in a pink dress jumped out of the cart.
With a backpack behind her, she turned around and picked up a boy in the car.
The boy looked about five or six years old, with a sturdy head and bright eyes, but his body was very thin, obviously weak due to long-term malnutrition.
Xia Qianqian got off the ox cart and told Uncle Wang, "Uncle Wang, Yuan Bao and I can just go in."
"Okay. I'll pick you up in the afternoon."
Uncle Wang turned around, flicked his whip, and hurriedly returned the same way.
Recently, people in the neighboring village were extremely envious when they saw the poor people in Fu'an Village renovating their red brick houses.
Therefore, many people asked about Uncle Wang and asked him to come to their home to guide cement production and brick and tile production.
He is extremely busy.
Watching Uncle Wang walk away, Xia Qianqian took Yuanbao's hand, walked up and knocked on the door of Zhuxian Academy.
Mo Yan was in the door's room, making crude tea and reading a handwritten copy of "Journey to the West". When he heard a knock on the door, he stood up and opened the door, looking slightly surprised for a moment.
It's the girl from yesterday, with a little one.
Mo Yan didn't expect that they would come today.
He didn't want to shirk people, but he had no choice.
What Zhu Zirong decides is not something that he, the humblest gentleman guarding the door, can decide.
"Girl, did you hear clearly what Mr. Zhu said yesterday?"
"I heard you clearly."
Xia Qianqian raised her eyes and looked at the person in front of her, and said seriously: "Yesterday, Mr. Zhu promised me that as long as I get a handwritten letter of recommendation from the general, I can come to school."
As she spoke, she took out a letter from her sleeve and handed it over.
There are two words written on the kraft paper envelope, "This is personally written by Zhu Zirong."
Mo Yan did not accept the envelope and looked at Xia Qianqian with a complicated look, "Is this a letter of recommendation from Mr. Cao?"
"Exactly!"
Mo Yan frowned and his expression became solemn.
He had long heard that Cao Ran was seriously injured in the battle between officials and bandits a few days ago.
Cao Ran, who was seriously injured, would stand up and write a letter of recommendation for a peasant girl?
Mo Yan didn’t believe it.
He looked serious and asked earnestly: "May I ask, girl, how did you obtain this letter of recommendation?"
"I went to the General's Mansion, met with the General, and explained my intention, and he wrote to me."
"So simple?"
"It's so simple." She didn't want more people to know about Cao Ran's diagnosis and treatment.
Therefore, we can only selectively avoid talking about it.
"How could it be so easy?"
When Mo Yan was still about to ask more questions, a scolding sound came from the side, "Young girl from the countryside, you are so brave."
Zhu Zirong came from the side path with an angry look on his face, "How can a person with such character enter our Zhuxian Academy?"
Xia Qianqian was stunned.
She didn't know this person before.
But why did he always target her as if he had a grudge against her every time he saw her?
Yuanbao has never seen such a posture.
He and his sister came to register for study, full of longings for their future college life. Unexpectedly, before they entered the door, the gentleman they met was so fierce.
He hid behind Xia Qianqian and said timidly: "Sister, how about we change to another college, I don't like it here."
"Don't like it? Humph!"
Zhu Zirong strode over, staring at the girl and child in front of him with a pair of tiger eyes, and said angrily: "You want to study, you have a desire to make progress. But it is not enough for a person to have a desire to make progress."
"May I ask Mr. Zhu, what do you mean by this?"
Xia Qianqian became cold-faced when she was scolded for no apparent reason.
"Isn't it obvious what Mr. Ben means?"
"Mr. Zhu doesn't want us to be admitted to the hospital for study?"
"Our Zhuxian Academy will definitely not accept students like you."
"Such a student?"
Xia Qianqian couldn't help but feel angry, "You don't know what kind of students we are, but I know exactly what kind of teacher you are."
The commotion here is getting louder and louder, naturally attracting many students to stop and watch.
Being contradicted by a little girl in public, Zhu Zirong lost his composure and raised his voice: "What do you mean?"
"I don't mean anything, but Mr. Zhu is very interesting."
Xia Qianqian raised the letter in her hand high, waved it around, and said sternly: "Yesterday, I came to Zhuxian College to study. Mr. Zhu told me that I could come if I wanted to, but I must have a letter of recommendation from the general."<
/p>
She glanced at the students hiding around and said loudly: "I wonder if each of the students here who came to study here asked for a letter of recommendation from the General?"
As soon as she said this, people around her started talking about it.
Some people timidly whispered, "Isn't our college just a simple entrance exam?"
"Because it is the Enlightenment College, I came directly."
"My family is in trouble, but I don't need Shu Xiu to come here."
Someone whispered, "Among the students here, who can easily meet the generals? If you want to recommend a letter, I'm afraid most of them won't be able to get in."
"That's right!"
Although the students' discussion was quiet, it was enough for people here to hear clearly.
Zhu Zirong was so angry that the veins on his forehead swelled when he was questioned.
Asking for a letter of recommendation from the general was a strategy he came up with on the spur of the moment.
A daughter of a peasant family would never be able to get through the gate of the General's Mansion. Without a letter of recommendation, she would definitely give up and never come to Zhuxian Academy again.
In this way, he returned a favor to that junior sister.
Who knows, he underestimated the courage of the person in front of him.
On the second day, she dared to come to the college with a fake recommendation letter.
At the moment, Zhu Zirong was unable to get off the tiger. He could only hold back his anger and said seriously: "Your home is outside Jiangcheng. You are a peasant girl of unknown origin. How do I know the details of your family?"
He thought for a while and said with strong reasoning: "Now the battle between the officers and soldiers and the Fanshan bandits is in full swing. The victory or defeat is obvious. Many Fanshan bandits have escaped and scattered to the Jiangcheng area."
"At this delicate moment, how can I tell whether you are a bandit child from Fanshan who came to our Zhuxian Academy to hide."
As soon as Zhu Zirong said these words, the students around him immediately shut up and looked at Xia Qianqian and his sister with wary eyes.
If you put such a big hat off and put it on, an ordinary peasant girl would definitely be flustered and anxious to prove her identity.
Xia Qianqian took her time and handed over the envelope in her hand, "I don't blame you for questioning our identity. Now, I hand over a letter written by the General, why don't you take a look at it?"
"Handwritten?" Zhu Ziwen almost died laughing when he heard this sentence.
Yesterday, grandma came to lobby with Master’s token in hand.
Only then did he find out that the little junior sister his master loved most was married to an ordinary guard, and is now being imprisoned by Cao Ran for committing a crime.
Afterwards, he also inquired about it, and found out that the junior sister knelt in the General's Mansion, beating drums and crying for a long time, but she did not see Cao Ran.
It stands to reason that the master's name is there. The junior sister's brother was the Shaoqing of Dali Temple at the time, and Cao Ran was an external general, which would give him some face.
Unexpectedly, Cao Ran ignored him at all.
Some people say that Cao Ran is seriously injured and unconscious.
If this was the case, how could Cao Ran be free to receive a peasant girl and write a letter of recommendation for her to enter school on the same day?
Absolutely impossible.
Therefore, the person in front of me must be cheating.
Initially, he was entrusted not to admit her.
There was no reason, which made him feel somewhat guilty.
Now it seems that not admitting her was the right choice.
This woman has evil intentions. On the first day, she dared to hold a letter and pretend to be the pen of a general.
If a person who lies like this gets into Zhuxian Academy and causes trouble, wouldn't he want to ruin the reputation of their academy?
Zhu Zirong looked coldly, took the cowhide envelope, and suddenly made a strong move in front of everyone.
"Stab it! Stab it!"
Chapter completed!
