Today, Mr. Yong has changed from his previous wretched and unruly behavior. From the beginning to the end, he has always looked serious and serious. Xu Zizhen followed him to the outside of the auditorium and received the edict according to the rules. After listening, he realized why Mr. Yong did not enter the auditorium to read it in public.
Already.
This time, Zhao Huan only sent a decree, which was that in seven days, on the tenth day of August, he would come to Yingtian Mansion with envoys from various countries to visit the newly built Yingtian Civil and Military Academy.
Xu Zizhen was in charge, and there was only one specific requirement, which was to restrain the students' emotions and never be rude in front of the envoys, especially the envoys from the Kingdom of Jin.
Xu Zizhen immediately spat and complained: "Bah! What is disrespectful? You have been kicked into the house and you still care about etiquette. This is such a shameful thing. Why do you think you are a bird emperor?"
Master Yong, who was still pretending to be serious, was frightened when he heard these words. He rushed over to cover his mouth and said urgently: "You kid, do you want to die? How dare you say such things?"
Xu Zizhen slapped his hand away and said disapprovingly: "What's the point? Why don't you follow me into the auditorium and ask the thousands of boys inside to see if they have the same idea as me?"
"I'm afraid of you. You are the master and I am the grandson, okay?" Master Yong wished he could kneel down and kowtow to him. This kid doesn't know how to speak. He can let anyone hear and spread these words.
It is definitely a capital crime in the ears of officials.
Xu Zizhen felt temporarily relieved after complaining, and comforted him with a smile: "I was just mumbling, don't worry, no one else heard it here, Zhao...oh, I know what the officials said, and I will definitely do it when the time comes.
OK." After saying that, he pointed to the door, "Master Yong, do you have anything else to do? I'm still waiting for my lecture inside."
"Huh!" Master Yong suddenly returned to his black-tongued and cold-faced demeanor, and stared at him coldly without saying a word.
Xu Zizhen was surprised: "Master Yong, what's wrong with you? When you weren't so pretentious before, your throat got stuck after eating fish?"
"Get out of here, you have a stuck in your throat." Master Yong's face became as dark as the bottom of a pot, "What did you tell me last time? Don't even tell me that you have forgotten it!"
"Last time?" Xu Zizhen thought for a moment and immediately understood what Master Yong meant. The last time he was in Jingzhao Mansion, he promised Master Yong that he would send a betrothal gift to marry Gao Pujun next time they met. The old man came to urge the marriage this time. He
A smile instantly filled his face, "How could I forget? I have already prepared the betrothal gift. Fortunately, it is autumn now, and mushrooms must grow in order to have spring. Where have you been staying these days? The sun is shining brightly today.
I will send it to you before sunset."
After hearing this, Mr. Yong's black face finally showed some signs of loosening, but he did not let go. He looked at the sky and asked pretending to be casual: "Really? What have you prepared?"
Xu Zizhen leaned into his ear and said with a smile: "Three letters and six etiquettes are quite a lot, and there are also two jars of good wine stolen from Dean Jiang. I honor you privately."
Master Yong's eyes suddenly lit up. He had been thinking about Jiang Ji's good wine for more than a day or two. He still remembered the first time he took Xu Zizhen to see Jiang Ji. It was the brat who used a little trick to make him drink well.
.
"I guess you still have some conscience, go and give a lecture. I'll be waiting for you when I get home!"
Looking at Master Yong walking away, Xu Zizhen snickered in his heart. It was like fooling this old man for fun. He was in a bad mood. Everything was just a cloud in front of me. Dean Jiang admired him more and more since he started his class.
, and even almost asked to worship him, and asked him for two jars of wine without any hesitation.
But soon his face gradually became serious. Zhao Huan specifically allowed the edict to be read in private because the content of the edict was too embarrassing. He wanted to restrain the students' emotions and not be rude in front of the envoy. He was worried that the students would be embarrassed when they saw Jin.
Sometimes people burst out with patriotic enthusiasm, and then they make the Jin people furious and they don’t know what happened.
Xu Zizhen understood Zhao Huan's temperament. It was expected that such a weakling would have such an imperial edict when he became the emperor. Xu Zizhen did not want to fight with the Jin people now. He had to endure everything for now, hide his capabilities and bide his time until Zhao Huan died after the Jingkang incident.
After Gou ascends the throne and becomes emperor, that's when Xu Zizhen will flex his muscles and dominate the world.
He sneered and murmured: "Just visit, don't mess with me, otherwise I will have to be rude."
After returning to the auditorium, he did not continue the lecture immediately, but first explained the meaning of Zhao Huan's imperial edict. Of course, he did not say anything about restraining emotions and not being rude. The students immediately exploded when they heard the news. The official was about to arrive in person.
And there are also envoys from other countries? Even the students in the Imperial College have seen the big scene, and they were shocked by the news. They all looked excited and excited.
Xu Zizhen did not arrange any programs for them, it was just a visit. They would be fine as usual, so there was no need to show them a monkey show. As for the newly opened departments, they had to be hidden for the time being. It was a matter of confidentiality and they would have to be dispatched later.
It's very useful, even if someone catches wind of it, you have to cover it up first.
After class, Xu Zizhen returned home as quickly as possible, asked Kou Qiaoyi and Bao'er to pack up the betrothal gifts they had prepared earlier, took a bath and changed clothes to feel refreshed, and then drove to Gaofu in person with Hu Sanniang.
Gaofu is a villa of Lord Yong in Yingtian Mansion, not close to Xu Zizhen's residence. The wedding custom of Yingtian Mansion is that no matter whether you are marrying a wife or taking a concubine, you must play and play along the way when delivering the betrothal gift. You can't do it in the car.
When stamped, the amount and quality of the betrothal gift must be visible to passers-by.
Xu Zizhen is very famous in Yingtian Mansion. His iconic haircut makes people know it is him at a glance. Therefore, the whole journey was almost crowded. When the people heard that Xu Zizhen was going to give a betrothal gift, they didn't care who he wanted to marry.
My girl, I just went over to watch the excitement before talking.
Regarding the matter of marrying Gao Pujun and Wen Xian, Xu Zizhen had already asked Qian Tongzhi to prepare the matter. Qian Tongzhi worked carefully and carefully, and all the betrothal gifts were bought according to Xu Zizhen's instructions. Therefore, when the people of Tianfu saw the people in the car,
Everyone was envious of the dazzling betrothal gifts of various colors, and they all wondered which girl was so lucky. It was not until the car stopped in front of the Gao Mansion that everyone suddenly realized it, and at the same time they were all shocked.
She turned out to be the princess of the Gao family? She was the lay scholar Yi Zhi who was known as the most talented woman in the Song Dynasty?
Xu Zizhen got out of the car and asked the members of the Gaofu family who came out to take it over. He smiled and helped Hu Sanniang walk in. As soon as he entered the main hall, he saw Master Yong sitting at the top with a smile on his face, and the stern face he had in the morning.
They were completely different, and the person sitting next to him was Gao Pujun, with red cheeks and a twitchy expression. He sat there with his head buried in his chest, not even daring to raise his eyelids.
Behind Mr. Yong stood the tiger-headed Gao Chong, looking excitedly at the door. Xu Zizhen strode into the hall and shouted with a smile: "Father-in-law, madam, I'm here!"
