The late Ming Dynasty in the living room

Chapter 169: Scandal with Empress Zhang

Yang Wenyue smiled bitterly. How could he not have thought of asking someone to intercede for him?

In the past few days, he has successively summoned Pang Tiande, "the county resident closest to Fang Shenzi", and Min Wengong, "the official who is most familiar with the affairs of Xincheng", and also...

"Naturally there is."

Yang Wenyue also whispered, "A few days ago, I asked your teacher to speak on my behalf in Yizhou. Even the Emperor wrote a letter to Fang Shenzi, mentioning the aid. Unfortunately, it fell on deaf ears. Fang Shenzi has not responded to me so far."

Feng Rong was silent for a few moments, then he carefully reminded him, "Uncle Yang, why do you have to go far away? Have you forgotten... there is also a beautiful lady named Zhang here?"

Yang Wenyue's expression froze instantly.

The focus of Feng Rong's words was not on Empress Zhang, but on the very abrupt phrase "her beauty".

In the past few days since arriving in Laishui County, he had heard some rumors about Fang Shenzi and Empress Zhang, but he didn't pay much attention to it. Women like Empress Zhang are synonymous with scandals. Since the Tianqi period, there have been rumors that she had an affair with a cabinet minister. In the Chongzhen period, there were rumors that she had an affair with a eunuch. There was even a story circulating among the people that Emperor Chongzhen stole his sister-in-law in the middle of the night.

Some of these rumors are the fabricated imaginations of despicable people, while others are political conspiracies with ulterior motives. In short, they are not credible.

But from the hint in Feng Rong's words, how come the rumors about Fang Shenzi and Empress Zhang are not groundless? !

Yang Wenyue's face began to turn red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In his excitement, he lost his composure, grabbed Feng Rong's hand and whispered, "Yi Chen, don't lie to me! How much of this is true and how much is false?"

He would not take the rumors spread by outsiders seriously, but Feng Rong was different. He lived in the new city, and he was a public assistant in the principal's office and the vice-principal's office. When it came to knowing the inside story, he was definitely one of the few people.

Feng Rong thought of Fang Yu's widely circulated saying in New Town, "I just like married women," and the look on Fang Yu's face when he accidentally saw him looking at Madam Zhang during the academic affairs meeting in the principal's office. It clearly showed some admiration between a man and a woman. So he made up his mind and said through gritted teeth, "It's probably about 70% true!"

The conversation between the two smart men did not mention any scandals at all. Yang Dezheng, Liu Chao and others nearby were completely confused. They only saw Yang Wenyue's face flushed with excitement after hearing the words, and the strong joy in his eyes gathered into light. It had been a long time since they saw the Governor with such an expression.

"Ah, if that's the case... then God is really helping me!"

Yang Wenyue let go of Feng Rong's hand and almost laughed out loud. Although the matter was not accomplished, the depression in his heart was greatly relieved. Yang Wenyue immediately decided to visit Empress Zhang. As the saying goes, the military situation is urgent. Since there is hope of breaking the deadlock, it is best not to delay even for half a day.

The group suddenly changed their previous plan of "chance encounter" and no longer stayed slowly, but hurried to school along May 3rd Avenue. Originally, Yang Dezheng, Liu Chao and others wanted to visit the Giant Silver Mine - a pure silver mountain more than ten meters high. Once you have seen it, you can brag about it for the rest of your life. Now that they are here, who wouldn't want to go and see it for themselves?
Fortunately, Teacher Pan's gold ladies' watch was standing at the fork in the road. Whether in terms of rarity or value, it was far more valuable than the Silver Mountain. At this time, the sun was setting, and the strong sunlight shone on the watch case, which was really a golden glow.

There is also the oversized crystal (really crystal) covering the dial. After several refractions, it interprets the sunlight into a rainbow of colors, making people dazzled... Alas, this is truly a priceless treasure. After seeing this scene, even the most honest person in the world will inevitably have the urge to commit a crime in his heart.

It was class time. As soon as Yang Wenyue and his party stepped into the school gate, they heard the sound of reading aloud coming from the classroom.

Feng Rong took out the schedule from his pocket, looked at it carefully, and then told Yang Wenyue: "Mrs. Zhang has a class and is not in the office right now. Uncle Yang, how about I take you on a tour of the school and then we can go there after class?"

The planned scale of Laishui County No. 1 Experimental Primary School is very large. The construction team has been working hard for nearly two months, and now only one comprehensive teaching building has been built. In addition, projects such as the playground, cafeteria, library, and wall are either laying the foundation or have only a few lime lines on the ground.

In fact, the school's planning blueprint was based on the Xiehe Primary School where Teacher Pan taught. Compared with the only academy in the county, Lotus Academy, its land area is more than five times larger, and the number of students enrolled is more than ten times. (I heard that Lotus Academy only has about twenty students)

The four test classes previously composed of children of officials and craftsmen were not full. This time, there are more than 375 new students enrolled. Those with a foundation in elementary education were selected to fill the test classes. In addition, three new classes were opened. So there is one excess girls' class and six boys' classes. As of today, the third day of July, the seven classes of the First Experimental Primary School have a total of male and female students.

Although there are also children's and teenagers classes, the teaching content of the seven classes is the same, all of which belong to the elementary education and enlightenment stage. Currently, there are only two main courses, Chinese and basic mathematics, and two auxiliary courses, labor and physical education. It will not be until the next semester that a small number of history and introductory courses will be added. As for the music and art classes that future students love, don't expect them.

Yang Wenyue and his team walked around the construction site, passed through the playground where turf was being grown, and returned to the comprehensive teaching building.

The second class in the afternoon was already halfway through. Yang Wenyue looked inside a classroom from outside and saw that most of the people sitting inside were teenagers. However, there were some middle-aged people with mature looks sitting in the back row of the classroom. Like the teenagers in the front row, they also looked like they were studying seriously.

Yang Wenyue pointed to the back row of the classroom and asked uncertainly, "Who are they? Are they also students of the school?"

Feng Rong shook his head. "These are parents of students. This is what an open day is like. Parents can sit in the classroom and take classes with their students. Principal Fang said this is called a parent experience class. It allows parents to understand their children's life and study in school, so that they can feel at ease when they go back."

Yang Wenyue only knew that parents could enter Xincheng today, but he didn't expect that parents could be allowed to sit in the classroom openly.

To be honest, he didn't quite agree in his heart. The classroom was a very sacred place. How could a bunch of outsiders be allowed to interfere?
