Just two days later, a strange thing happened in Shangyonghuang City.
An old lady who was over sixty years old burst into tears at the door of the house of Lord Feng, the minister of Taichang Temple, one of the most famous scholars in Shangyong. She cursed Lord Feng for his betrayal and so on.
Although the old lady was later invited into the house, she came out angrily not long after, pointing at the plaque in front of the Feng family's door and yelling curses.
For a time, the whole family, from the dignitaries to the common people, were full of curiosity.
You must know that although Mr. Feng is only a third-level official, he is quite famous among scholars all over the world. He was a famous talent when he was young. His poetry collection and articles are still must-read by many scholars. Not only
He was talented in writing, and his moral character was also excellent. There is still a vague legend among the scholars that Master Feng was upright and outspoken in admonishing the emperor.
Such an almost perfect representative of Confucian scholars was yelled at by an old lady in the street, which naturally aroused the curiosity of many idlers who were completely unaware of the matter.
There are even many boring people who have secretly made up several romances from their youth.
Ordinary people don't know, but the dignitaries of Shangyong know it very well.
The reason why Mrs. Zou is acting like this is probably because Master Zou was demoted.
It seems that these people are not kind. They made great promises when they instigated Mr. Zou to anger the regent. Now when something happens, there is no one to ask for mercy. Poor old gentleman surnamed Zou, he has never experienced anything in his life.
Big mistake, he was about to retire. If he could retire safely, the court would definitely raise his rank to a higher level because of his hard work throughout his life. But now he has returned to thirty years ago.
I heard that Mr. Zou couldn't get up from his bed when he got home. He couldn't even go to the Hanlin Academy for errands.
We can't blame the regent for being cruel. If the sword hadn't been so severe, I'm afraid there would have been a lot of gossip in the court these days.
It’s just the beginning of the new year and spring is coming soon. There are still many things to do, but now it’s much quieter.
The only person who died was Mr. Zou. Who told him that he was getting old but he was not clear-headed and was regarded as an outstanding person.
Those people must have never expected that Mrs. Zou could be so reckless.
Ordinary people would cry at home most of the time, but she really dared to rush to someone else's house and point their noses at them. This old lady was also from a peasant family, but after decades of pampering, she looked a bit like a lady.
, but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t know those vulgar curse words.
Feng Mansion
The old man with gray beard and hair turned pale as he listened to the servant's report, and his hands on the table were trembling slightly.
Seeing him like this, the people standing in front of him quickly swallowed back the rest of his words, for fear of making the old gentleman faint from anger.
Standing next to the old man was a middle-aged man in his early thirties. Seeing this, he quickly waved to the servant to signal him to leave.
The middle-aged man waited until the people went out before he whispered: "Dad, how should we deal with this matter? Why don't we send someone to the Zou family to shut up the old woman?" The old godly woman of the Zou family was obviously crazy.
After leaving the Feng family, he was still talking nonsense.
The reputation of their Feng family these past two days... their juniors are too embarrassed to go out.
The old man snorted coldly and said: "Go to the Zou family? Do you know how many people are staring at the Zou family now? If something happens to the Zou family..."
The middle-aged man understood that if something happened to the Zou family at this time, the first person outsiders would suspect would be the Feng family.
"Then what should we do? Are we going to let her talk nonsense like this?" the middle-aged man frowned.
There is no way for the Regent to get there, not to mention that the Feng family is not important enough to make the Regent change his mind. Even if they had this weight, the Regent would not be able to ignore it. If the Regent changes his mind, wouldn't he tell everyone?
Was the regent wrong before?
The old man took a deep breath and asked: "Are there any more children in the Zou family who will participate in the Spring Festival this year?"
The middle-aged man said quickly: "Yes, the eldest grandson of the Zou family is twenty-six years old, and he is the son of this spring."
The old man thought for a moment and said: "Find someone to talk to Mrs. Zou. We can't bear to deal with Mrs. Zou's matter, but at this point no one can do anything. We still have to think about our children and grandchildren."
At this point, the old man raised his head, glanced at his son, and said, "Find a female family member you can trust, and don't let our family members interfere."
The middle-aged man nodded quickly in response.
The old man said slowly: "I'm going to see Mr. Su."
Hearing this, the middle-aged man couldn't help but frown and said, "Dad, the Su family is now on the side of the Regent's Palace."
The old man shook his head and said: "What do you know? Mr. Su will not take sides. The Su family has fallen to this point. If he still takes sides, his life's hard work will be in vain. The Su family just wants to bet on His Majesty."
The little great-grandson next to me has it."
The middle-aged man was stunned for a while before he realized, "In that case, the Su family still wants to protect His Majesty." Since we have to bet on His Majesty's companion, then His Majesty must be able to take power in the future, right?
"In this case, why did the Su family marry their granddaughter to the Luo family? The Luo family is the regent's in-law family." The middle-aged man asked doubtfully.
The old man sighed and said: "Mr. Su has been very smart in his life, but he believes too much in character. He believes that Xie Yan will not usurp the throne and will work hard to assist His Majesty until he takes charge."
The middle-aged man hesitated and asked, "Father doesn't believe it?"
The old man raised his head and glanced at his son, and said solemnly: "I believe it now. But... the human heart is the most unreliable thing. And power can change people's hearts. What's more... what do you think about the things the Princess Regent did?
How much of it is the regent's own intention? If we let them do this, what will happen to them in the future?"
The middle-aged man looked at his father, hesitated and swallowed what he wanted to say.
Doing this...doesn't it really force the regent to usurp the throne?
On the other hand, the regent is also a man, so why would he let his wife do this? Is it really because of sex that he has lost his mind?
Luo Junyao has naturally heard a lot about the Feng family and the Zou family, but she is also one of the insiders. Naturally, she will not gossip about romantic affairs like ordinary people. At most, she will only laugh at those old scholars.
While Shangyong City was still in turmoil because of those things, Luo Junyao was already at Anlan Academy preparing for the opening of the academy in the New Year.
In the Shanchang's study, Luo Junyao sat behind the desk with great interest and looked at the furnishings of the entire study.
This study room was decorated by the previous mountain chief, and the style tends to be calm and solemn, which naturally does not fit Luo Junyao's aesthetics. But she has no time to care about it now. There are a lot of various files and letters in front of her.
Zhang Jingyu sat aside and looked at her and said: "These are letters sent from the Shangyong family. It has been confirmed that fifty-nine students from Linglong Academy will not come this year. These exclude those who graduated last year and those who graduated from Linglong Academy."
In addition, there are no new students admitted to Linglong Academy this year. This is still the current situation, and you may receive letters in the next few days."
Luo Jun shook his head and asked, "Is there anyone in Linglong Hospital who wants to transfer to another hospital?"
Zhang Jingyu took a deep look at her, took out two letters from his side and said: "There are two, but these are letters written to me privately by girls, not their family members' wishes. It is best for the princess not to make her own decisions.
Otherwise, these two children may not have an easy life in the future."
These days, a girl's own wishes are nothing, and her parents are the mountain they cannot disobey.
Luo Junyao said: "I know this, I'm not stupid. Let them come and meet me later. I'm a little curious about what kind of girl has such ideas."
Zhang Jingyu nodded and continued: "In addition, seven new students have signed up for the Martial Arts Academy this year. As well as the four newly opened colleges, many people have come to inquire about the news. Among them, the Business School and the Medical College are the most popular, and the Agricultural College is the second.
, Tianjiyuan currently does not have it.”
The main reason is that most people simply cannot understand Tianjiyuan, and they don’t want their girls to become carpenters.
Luo Junyao smiled and said, "There is already a student in Tianji Academy."
"who?"
"Princess Huaiyang."
Zhang Jingyu was speechless for a while, and then slowly said: "It's a good choice."
Xu Xinyu is the beloved daughter of Princess Changzhao and General Xu. No matter what she wants to learn, it will not affect her future life. Even if Tianjiyuan is strange in the eyes of the world, it is nothing to Princess Huaiyang.
Luo Junyao smiled and said: "Then it seems that there is no problem. There are almost enough teachers to teach. Maybe we can find some better teachers after a while. The official test of the new students who will be admitted will start tomorrow?"
Zhang Jingyu nodded, "Okay, will the princess come tomorrow?"
"Of course we have to come on the first day." Luo Junyao said with a smile.
She was really looking forward to seeing what kind of students she would receive.
