Hongwu Survival Guide

Chapter 297 That's it

Nuan Niang followed Zhu Yuan down, looking at the courtyard belonging to the affiliated elementary school in front of her, her expression was a little more at ease, and she looked at the little man beside her.

The two stout servants in the porter's room quickly noticed this side. Their eyes were wary, but when they found out that it was Nuan Niang, they quickly came out with a smile.

They were not stupid either, they found Nuan Niang following a young boy, immediately got down on the knees, and saluted the legendary boy Pingzhang.

Zhu Yuan responded, asked the two to get up, gave instructions, and walked into the courtyard with Nuan Niang and the sack.

After entering the door, the sound of Langlang's reading became clearer. Nuan Niang listened carefully, and said in a rare way: "This is... the soup recipe. It is said... that it was suggested by the adults."

"Yes," Zhu Yuan said with a smile, "I just have a lot of ideas, but I don't know anything about medicine."

Nuan Niang said softly: "My lord is too modest."

Just that penicillin...

If the little men around you don't know anything about it, there may not be many doctors in this world.

Came outside a classroom.

Zhu Yuan didn't enter the door, but went to the window, feeling like he was an evil class teacher, and looked inside.

This is art class.

required.

The class was taught by a middle-aged man whom Zhu Yuan did not know, but on the blackboard in front of the class, the lifelike sketch-style paintings with just a few strokes were admirable.

I also listened to the explanation for a while, the textbook is the "Sketch Technique" given by myself, but this gentleman obviously still has his own understanding, such as the theory of light and shadow, which made Zhu Yuan somewhat comprehend.

After watching patiently for a while, the middle-aged man also found himself. He was surprised at first, and then suddenly realized, but he just nodded slightly and continued to lecture.

Zhu Yuan looked at Nuan Niang aside.

Nuan Niang looked back suspiciously.

Zhu Yuan smiled, raised his hand, and patted the woman behind her. Nuan Niang's body froze immediately, and pink stained her cheeks in a blink of an eye.After thinking about it, I still don't understand why this nasty little man... suddenly hit him?

Looking at a certain sack again, he also smiled, obviously noticing the little man's actions just now.

So the cheeks are hotter.

Zhu Yuan simply asked, "What's this guy's name?"

Nuan Niang reacted, but she was a little confused: "It seems... surnamed Wei..."

So it was shot again.

However, this time... it's a compliment.

Women are quite conservative outside, and they don't even know the names of other male gentlemen who are teaching together.

The blush on Nuan Niang's face deepened.

Of course he didn't understand Zhu Yuan's second intention, he just thought that the little man was dissatisfied with him.But... She really didn't know, she just remembered that the students occasionally mentioned that this Mr. Wei in the room is very good at drawing.

I was watching from here, and there came two women who were around 50 years old, dressed in decent clothes, and looked a little serious even though they were soothing.

Zhu Yuan knew that this was a person sent by the empress, not only teaching the girls here how to behave, but also taking care of their daily life.

After all, there are no girls' schools in this day and age. Since the precedent has been set and His Majesty the Emperor attaches great importance to it, even though he also thinks it is not good, Madam Ma still takes the initiative to manage it.

Mrs. Ma also knows that this girl just wants to learn, and whether she learns or not is the second thing. The key is... there must be no indecent things.

Of course, it's not just these two wives, but there is a whole team headed by them.

The two took the initiative to salute and introduced themselves, one surnamed Zhang and the other surnamed Tong.

Zhu Yuan agreed, motioning to the side of the classroom: "Introduce this gentleman?"

Nanny Zhang said: "This is Mr. Wei Zhongwei. His Majesty was looking for talents last year. Mr. Wei was recommended from Jiangxi, but he has not been appointed as an official. Because he is good at painting, he came to our medical university as a teacher."

Wei Zhong.

Zhu Yuan remembered the name.

As for some others...

Just looking at the other party's painting skills, it must be true.He has never been appointed an official, there are two possibilities, Lao Zhu does not give it, or he does not want it.

Zhu Yuan thinks the latter is more likely.

After all, last year, Old Zhu from Western Wu had just pacified Zhang Shicheng, and the Southern and Northern Expeditions had not yet come to fruition.

It will inevitably make some people hesitate.

This year is decided, but... there is also no shortage of scholars who are self-confident and upright, who are unwilling to be officials in the new dynasty because of their reputation.

In any case, it is a compromise choice to settle for the next best thing and become a gentleman.

Zhu Yuan looked into the room again, and then turned to other classrooms. Since the other party had a high probability of taking the initiative to avoid him, he would not make things difficult for him, so he just ordered the two nuns who followed behind him: "Later, tell that Mr. Wei , if you have free time, you can make some notes on the "Sketch Techniques", which can be regarded as more reference for scholars in the world. Well, if you don't have time, forget it, don't force it."

Nanny Zhang nodded: "I will convey it."

Zhu Yuan turned to another classroom, where he was talking about the soup recipe he had just heard.

After watching for a short time, he continued to move forward, and said to the two women: "Ms. Nuan told me something in the morning, about the girls who came to study in Mingzhou. It's the New Year's Eve, and I must be homesick. My idea is early next year. Arrange family visits, but, on your side, you can also let the children communicate with the family on a daily basis. After writing, if there is no channel, you can send it to me to help convey it."

In this era, the post station system has just been established and is not perfect, not to mention that private individuals are not allowed to use it without authorization. Ordinary people who want to send long-distance messages can only show their talents.

Hearing what Zhu Yuan said, the two women looked at Nuan Niang together.

This……

Isn't it already done?

Zhu Yuan stopped outside a classroom again, and found that the two women were strange, and then looked at Nuan Niang.

Nuan Niang was a little guilty, and said softly: "I... I helped to do this, it's... it's just... borrowing from the family."

The Pingzhang mansion has frequent exchanges with Mingzhou, so it is only a matter of one sentence to help carry some letters.

Nuan Niang knew this, and was begged by the students, so she helped send the letter, and of course, she didn't hide it from the two nuns in charge here.

only……

You don't need to bother Lord Pingzhang to know about similar trivial matters.

At that moment, when Nuan Niang said it, she was a little worried.I feel my body trembling slightly.Just now, Xiaoyu was the only one watching. Now, the two nuns are in front of her eyes. What if my lord wants...to beat himself again...will he survive?
Of course Zhu Yuan didn't call again, just smiled and said affirmatively, "You did a good job."

The two women also breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the words.

This warm girl...

Too unreliable.

They thought Lord Pingzhang must have known about such things, but unexpectedly, they didn't know.Fortunately, my lord didn't blame me at the moment, otherwise, I'm afraid they will all suffer.

Zhu Yuan happened to notice the expressions of the two women, smiled, and said, "Don't worry about it, it's a trivial matter, there's no need to tell me specifically, in the future... Nuan Niang is here, and similar things are the same. "

When the two women heard the words, they quickly put away their expressions and agreed respectfully together.

Still secretly pondering.

Nuan Niang... this woman, in Mr. Pingzhang's place, is... well, not considered favored.If he is favored, he will not be released to be a teacher here.

Can……

If you are not favored, what did you just explain?
Furthermore, there is one more.

Nuan Niang's age.

Although I haven't asked, the two women are also well-informed, so of course they can make a rough judgment.

Really, it's a lot worse.

Not to mention anything else, but Master Pingzhang and Nuan Niang stand together, let strangers who don't know the details look, one is tall and elegant, one is young and green, um... I am afraid that many people's first thought will be wrong .

The two women are also well-informed. Although they don't know certain things, they can make a rough judgment after thinking about it a little.

This boy Pingzhang...

Ok.

He's a...wonderful person.

In this way, he came to another courtyard and visited another window. A gray-haired gentleman inside paused for a while, and after speaking a verse, he came out, saluting Zhu Yuan with undisguised graciousness.

Zhu Yuan also said a few more words to the other party.

In my heart, I have no special opinion about the other party.

In two lifetimes, I am used to being flattering and courteous, but also more arrogant and lonely. No matter what kind of people, Zhu Yuan can actually get along well as long as he is willing.

If the other party has something special besides being attentive, Zhu Yuan doesn't mind promoting him.

Didn't find it this time.

A well-behaved old master.

After walking around in each class, Zhu Yuan asked a few questions and came to the kitchen.

The students of the affiliated elementary school, regardless of gender, except for the shortage of school buildings in the first period, are now living in school.Those in Jinling can go home during the two-day holiday every ten days, and the others live here for a long time.

Because it arrived suddenly, you can see the real situation.

The lunch being prepared, the staple food is rice. In terms of dishes, bean sprouts and radishes are the main dishes today. There is also a fish soup, which is a combination of meat and vegetables. The fish in it happens to be 'octopus'.

This kind of food is definitely not rich, but even after hundreds of years, it cannot be said to be shabby.

No matter how good you want it to be, it's not realistic.

After all, this is an era when many people at the bottom are still hungry.

After leaving the kitchen, Zhu Yuan didn't continue.

If you continue, you can't go to see the dormitory of the girls, it's not appropriate.

Moreover, I have to go back and prepare for the afternoon.

Nuan Niang went out with Zhu Yuan, and was called into the sedan chair together, and she was surprised to hear Zhu Yuan's order to go home, with some inquiring expressions on her expression.

Zhu Yuan saw Nuan Niang's thoughts, reached out and grabbed the woman's delicate chin, and said with a smile: "What are the other boys looking good, just look at the girl's side is enough."

Nuan Niang shrank her neck, glanced at the little fish next to her, her face turned rosy again.

Also inexplicably remembered that "Dream of Red Mansions".

The sentence in it says, "Daughters are made of water, men are made of clay."When I see my daughter, I feel refreshed, and when I see a man, I feel foul and smelly."I read it quietly at the time, and I thought, who can come up with such an idea?

At the moment, I suddenly realized.

The little man next to him...probably...is like this.

but.

Ok……

Not right.

The little man is far, far stronger than that uncommon young master of the Jia family.
