Hangzhou Academy.

After Wei Xuezheng took office, he changed the two major lectures on the first and fifteenth day of each month to once every ten days, and he gave lectures in person most of the time.

It was the day of Xun lectures again, and a thick futon was placed on the steps in front of the Dacheng Hall. After a few chimes, Wei Xuezheng went up the steps with a sullen face, sat on the futon, and began to give lectures.

Wei Xuezheng was obviously in a bad state today and was restless. He got stuck after speaking a few words. The young man next to him hurriedly handed over a stack of papers.

The students in front of the Dacheng Hall immediately cheered up.

Wei Xuezheng's knowledge is famous all over the world, and Wei Xuezheng's lectures are naturally not to be missed, but Wei Xuezheng's lectures, the tone is flat without any ups and downs. It's stuck and it's wrong again, but it's the first time!
Wei Xuezheng, what's the matter?
The students who were sitting in the yard got excited, stretched their heads out, and pricked up their ears.

Wei Xuezheng made a mistake again!
The students began to whisper.

Wei Xuezheng's face was sullen, he slowed down, and then continued, after a few words, he made a mistake again!
Wei Xuezheng stood up abruptly, beckoned to Si Ye who was standing beside him, stuffed the stack of papers into Si Ye's hand, turned around and entered the Dacheng Hall.

Si Ye took a few steps, sat on the futon, coughed hard, and read aloud.

The students who sat all over the yard were still in the mood to listen to the lecture. They all stretched their necks and poked their heads, while looking hard into the Dacheng Hall, they muttered a few words to the left and right from time to time.

There is a strong atmosphere of gossip in the whole academy.

After Si Ye finished reading his lecture notes and announced the end of school with the sound of a bronze chime, the students stood up excitedly, asking for gossip.

Regarding Wei Xuezheng's anger, there are different opinions. The summary is as follows:

The first one is that the grape trellis of Wei Xuezheng's family fell down.

Most of the students think this kind of statement is nonsense, because Wei Xuezheng's family's grape trellis has never been raised up. They have heard that Wei Xuezheng was not only taught by his wife when he was at home, but even his two daughters You can teach him a few words.

The second is that Wei Xuezheng had a quarrel with Jiang Caosi because Jiang Caosi deducted the money for the renovation of the school palace, but the quarrel did not win.

This statement is a bit reliable, but it is only a little bit reliable. Wei Xuezheng and Jiang Caosi have quarreled not once or twice. In terms of quarrels, Wei Xuezheng's words are more powerful than Jiang Caosi.As for the deduction of the school money, it is not once or twice, but it has not been paid smoothly every time.

The third way is that Wei Xuezheng is angry with his nephew, that prince, because he heard that Wei Xuezheng said that his nephew was doing something wrong, that his nephew is as bad as that old Prince Rui, so why not? Hitting the south wall without looking back, and saying that his son-in-law's nephew doesn't even listen to his father's words, it is unfilial, why he has to wait for the will to be overwhelmed in order not to make troubles.

This kind of statement, students, you look at me, I look at you, and they don't dare to talk too much.

That prince's nonsense, the students look at each other and know each other well, this must be talking about the prince's tossing about the silk business.

Back then, the old Prince Rui asked the Jiangnan Silk Industry to pay taxes as a whole, and wiped out their small and prosperous small weaving workshops in the south of the Yangtze River, so that the people's livelihood in the south of the Yangtze River withered. They all thought of that old Prince Rui.

No one dared to discuss the third statement, but everyone felt that this statement was the most reliable.

The students went out of the school palace with their thoughts in mind, and went back separately.

Pingjiang City.

Yu Chengfu was sitting in the tea house diagonally opposite Cailian Lane, and he stretched his head to look at the door from time to time. When he saw Li Wenliang coming in, he hurriedly stood up to meet him.

"Make another pot of tea and set out some dishes of fruit." Yu Chengfu ordered the staff.

"Make a pot of tea, forget about the fruit." Li Wenliang hurriedly said with a smile.

The clerk looked at Yu Chengfu, saw him nodding, and just made a pot of tea and brought it over.

"Come here in such a hurry, what happened?" Li Wenliang asked directly.

"A little thing." Yu Chengfu accompanied him with a smile, looking a bit embarrassed, "It's a very small thing."

"Old Yu Xing just talks." Li Wenliang had dealt with Yu Chengfu several times, and knew that he thought a lot about everything, so he didn't talk much, and only smiled.

"It's really a trivial matter. I'm just afraid of misunderstanding. After much deliberation, it's best for us to say it face to face, so as not to cause misunderstanding. No, I really don't mean anything else." Yu Chengfu explained again.

"I know, just talk about it." Li Wenliang gestured again.

"It's about collecting cocoons, a small matter. Yesterday my brother-in-law went to Zuojiaji to collect cocoons. When he went to Zhujia Village, he said that the cocoons had been taken away. It was a trivial matter. I just thought... "

"It's not from my side." Li Wenliang answered immediately.

He discussed with Yu Chengfu how to harvest the autumn silkworm cocoons, and the two families divided the areas, and the cocoons from the eleven villages in the Zuojiaji area belonged to Cheng Fu.

Yu Chengfu breathed a long sigh of relief, and his breath immediately became smoother, "I'll tell you, we've agreed, and it's only been closed for a few days, how could such a thing happen!"

"What kind of person is the cocoon harvester, did you ask clearly?" Li Wenliang asked.

"I asked, and said that I have never seen it before. It costs two big money per catty. I said that if I don't sell it to them, I won't be able to sell it. I also said that the weaving workshop has stopped working, and no one is collecting cocoons. He knows the basics."

Li Wenliang frowned, "Can you figure out which one it is?"

"I just couldn't figure it out, so I asked you to come out to discuss this matter. Is there another family?" Yu Chengfu also frowned.

"It's all over the cocoons before us. It's obvious that there are other homes. There are many smart people in Pingjiang City." Li Wenliang was very puzzled.

"Then we have to hurry." Yu Chengfu picked up the cup and drank the tea with his head raised.

"Well. If you meet again, please send someone to tell me, and if I meet you here, I will tell you too." Li Wenliang said while standing up.

"Okay." Yu Chengfu agreed, and came out one after the other with Li Wenliang. While walking home, he was thinking about who else could be sent out to collect cocoons. He had to increase his manpower.

Li Wenliang left the tea house and went straight to Li's house to find Li Xiaonan.

Li Xiaonan went out early in the morning, and heard from Sister Mei that Li Xiaonan confessed that she would come back after dinner. Li Wenliang and Sister Mei confessed that he would come to have dinner.

Both Li Jinzhu and Li Yuzhu were away from home, watching the opening of the weaving school, the collection of fine cloth on credit looms, and so on.Li Wenliang, Li Xuedong, Mei Jie, and Wang Yuting ate dinner together, drank tea, and talked with Li Xuedong for a long time. Ah Wu's shout came from the gate of the courtyard, and Li Xiaonan came back.

A Wu followed behind Li Xiaonan, and handed one of the boxes in his hand to Yuting, and another to Sister Mei, "They are all dim sum, there is goose pastry, just out of the oven, Sister Mei hasten to try one."

Sister Mei likes the goose pastry from Wangfu Bieye the most.

Li Xiaonan looked at Li Wenliang who came out behind Li Xuedong, Li Wenliang smiled and said, "There is a small matter."

Li Xiaonan paused, Li Wenliang passed Li Xuedong, watched Sister Mei and the others enter the room, lowered her voice and told about Yu Chengfu looking for him, Li Xiaonan hummed, and said with a smile: "I see, if there is something wrong, I'll send someone a message to the lobby uncle."

"Then I'm leaving." Li Wenliang breathed a sigh of relief, raised his voice and said something to Sister Mei, and went out to go back.

Li Xiaonan entered the house, took a pen and paper, rubbed the ink, wrote a few lines, sealed it, and asked Ah Wu to ride a horse and send it to Bieye to Wan Qing.
