Jiang Sheng found a familiar face at the door of the government office.
Although the other party is a woman, she is wearing a letter monogram.
She was surprised, but she still greeted her politely: "Why did Madam Yan come to the official office today? Is she here to look for Ji Shou?"
Ning Yan is Xu Jie's envoy, how come she has stayed till today? Also, what's going on with her monogram...
Besides——
Nowadays, there is only one way for a woman to gain a literary heart.
Although Jiang Sheng had doubts in his heart, he did not show it on his face, so as not to be misunderstood and suspected of driving away guests. Ning Yan returned the gift and said, "It's not for Jishou, it's the Lord's summons."
"Lord?"
This title contains a huge amount of information.
Jiang Sheng made a few guesses in a flash of his mind. He even guessed the channel through which Ning Yan gathered Wen Xin so quickly. His face remained calm, but inside he couldn't help but take a breath of cold air—— This woman is really merciless to herself!
He smiled slightly: "In this way, you and I will be colleagues in the future. I will post the Jiang family's famous places first."
Ning Yan said: "Ning's name is Yan, and the courtesy name is Tunan."
This is when the two officially met.
This was Ning Yan's first visit to the Longwu County Government Office, and Jiang Sheng, as an old man, took the initiative to take on the responsibility of leading the way. Kang Shi should have been responsible for this matter, but he was sent out early in the morning to inspect the progress of spring plowing, so Ning Yan could only Follow the address yourself.
The official offices of Longwu County are, to put it nicely, minimalist; to put it worse, they are shabby houses made of wood, stone, and mud. Except for a few buildings that are more delicately built, the rest of the paintings are extremely sloppy... …
How can a county government office be as elegant as it should be?
"Longwu has just experienced the war, and the official office is still under repair, which makes Tunan laugh..." Jiang Sheng helped to save his respect.
Ning Yan doesn't care about this. This just shows that Shen Tang doesn't stick to trivial details and values wealth over people. It would be bad if a place that had just experienced war had luxurious and extravagant official offices.
In addition to introducing the internal affairs of the government office, Jiang Sheng also introduced some of Shen Tang's main confidants. Although it is not yet known what Ning Yan's abilities are, with Wen Xin's monogram ranking, even if she is not a first-line confidant, she will not be left out in the future. that.
It is necessary to get to know everyone in advance.
I don’t know what the mentality is...
He also introduced prayers for good deeds at the end.
Ning Yan had no reaction to other people's names. When she heard the words "Qi Yuanliang, Zi Yuanliang", her expression changed. Jiang Sheng couldn't help but mutter to herself - Could it be that the scope of Qi Yuanliang's offense has been expanded? To the inner courtyard of the boudoir?
He probed: "Have you known each other before?"
Or does Qi Shan have a grudge against Ning Yan’s late husband?
Ning Yan once said: "I met him a few times when I was young."
Zhen Qishan’s mother’s family is the Kang family. The three families of Kang, Qi Shan and Ning belong to the same circle. Even though the Qi family has long been in decline, they still move around occasionally. However, Ning Yan, a daughter of an aristocratic family, has no idea about the name "Qi Shan" It’s familiar because…
The two families had discussed marriage.
That was a very long time ago.
Ning took a fancy to Zhen Qishan's talent and temperament, but this young man, who had already established himself as a family leader at a young age, had his own opinions and declined Kang's good intentions. Because Zhen Qishan clearly expressed his intention, This matter is settled.
For the sake of Ning Yan's reputation, few people know about this.
Even Ning Yan herself accidentally learned about such a thing from an elder after she and Yan An settled their engagement.
Now we have to become colleagues...
There is nothing more unpredictable than this in life's encounters.
By the time he spoke, he had already arrived outside the council hall.
There were several people talking in the room, and judging from the content, they seemed to be arguing about how to settle certain people. Before Ning Yan could figure out who these people were, Jiang Sheng had already stepped in and said, "My lord, guess what, General Sheng will Who brought it here..."
Shen Tang guessed right: "It must be Tunan who is here."
Ning Yan lifted her clothes and crossed the threshold.
"Ning Tunan, I have met my lord."
The eyes of several people in the room fell on her.
Shen Tang waved his hand: "There is no need to be so polite. Today is not a formal morning meeting. This is the Tunan I told you. I hope you will work together and work harmoniously in the future."
Don't fight!
Shen Tang was very happy in his heart, finally recruiting a literate scholar who didn't bother his lord???, this was a good sign!
If there is one, there are two; if there are two, there are three!
The light is not far away!
Ning Yan openly accepted the baptism of everyone's attention, without any stage fright, and met everyone one by one. When it was Qi Shan's turn, her expression was slightly stunned. Qi Shan did not understand what he meant, and she said: "Qi Langjun and Shao Shixiang Compared to that, the appearance has changed a lot..."
We can't say they are similar, we can only say they are completely unrelated.
There is no trace of the past at all.
Qishan looked at her in confusion: "...Have you seen me before?"
Ning Yan: "..."
She didn't answer, just smiled politely.
Shen Tang knew the details of Qishan and hurriedly smoothed things over and motioned for Ning Yan to come over. She didn't want to disturb Ning Yan at this time - with Chu Yao's experience, she naturally knew that if you quickly become a literary heart in this way, your body will be in pain and discomfort for a long time. .
This is the time when you need to cultivate yourself.
However, Ning Yan is the protagonist today.
"...I wonder why the Lord summoned me?"
Shen Tang pointed to the drawings on the table and said bluntly: "I plan to build an academy, and I hope you can serve as the dean of the academy. For the students' primary enlightenment, I will invite a few famous masters to come over, but not for cultivation matters. …”
Ning Yan never thought of this mission.
Enlightenment is a good thing, but...
"My lord has entrusted me with an important task, and I shouldn't refuse. It's just that... in terms of cultivation, experience, and qualifications, all the gentlemen present here beat me by more than ten points." This is the truth for Ning Yan. Although she has rich theoretical knowledge, but in In terms of practice, it is still new.
She can be a nominal dean, but if she is asked to teach students how to practice... Ning Yan is also afraid that she will mislead her disciples.
Shen Tang shook his head: "But this matter must be done by you."
"It must be Yan?"
This flattered Ning Yan.
"Because this college currently only has female students."
Shen Tang's words were astonishing, and his expression didn't seem to be fake.
"Although they are nominally teaching skills such as weaving silkworms to the outside world, in fact... they are all specially selected women with talent for cultivation. Whether they can change their destiny depends on this experience. I think, Tunan You should be able to understand."
Only after experiencing darkness do you know how precious light is.
Ning Yan suddenly opened her eyes wide and her pupils trembled slightly.
"All, all..."
Shen Tang nodded heavily.
"They are all! Not including you, there are a total of seventy-two people, 80% of whom are between the ages of six and sixteen. Their talents may not be that outstanding, or even a little mediocre, but - if they can successfully pass this hurdle... , life will be completely changed. The remaining 20% are all over the age of sixteen... It's a bit regretful, but I don't want to give up easily... I have chosen the location of the academy long ago... the most prime core location!"
It is built on the street next to the government office.
Safe and secure, easy to manage nearby.
"If we don't pay attention to beauty and only pay attention to practicality, the construction cost will be at most twenty taels..." Shen Tang fiddled with the abacus with his fingers nimbly, "These are all small expenses, two meals a day, clothes for the four seasons, teaching supplies, and master's repairs …”
Chu Yao sighed: "Lord, money is not an issue."
Not long ago, I made a lot of money from ransacking the house, and the public treasury was so full that even the lord got some of it, and part of the huge debt owed by Xun Zhen was paid off in installments, so this small amount of money can still be allocated in the budget.
The problem is that the official office cannot find a wife!
Really, not even a human figure!
Shen Tang looked at Ning Yan with bright eyes.
"Tu Nan, do you have any good recommendations?"
It would be best to recruit more people from Xu Jie!
