Chapter 2575 Du Yuanlao's jealousy ([-])

After sending the telegram, Du Yibin asked Song Yingsheng's third younger brother, Song Yingxing, how he was doing.

This can be regarded as a cliché. Basically, Du Yuan would ask Song Yingsheng about the situation of his second brother every once in a while.Song Yingsheng was already used to it.Fortunately, after Wuling is Jiangxi, Qiwei's escort route to Jiangxi has been maintained, Song Yingsheng's connection with his hometown has not been broken, and the connection with his brothers has not been severed, because Song Yingxing is a student in Fenyi County, Yuanzhou Prefecture, Jiangxi. Instructions, the two brothers also kept writing letters.

For a long time after Guangdong and Guangxi were captured by the Australians, Song Yingsheng lost his whereabouts.Whether it is the family members in Fengxin's hometown or the brothers who are officials in Fenyi County, they are all anxious.But Wuling has become a battlefield.Cut off the message.

It wasn't until last year that the war basically subsided, the Weiwei bodyguard road resumed, and the business travel also resumed, Song Yingsheng's letter was passed back to his family.In the letter, Song Yingsheng didn't dare to say that he was an Australian's staff, so as not to be found out by outsiders, and he just said that he was trapped in Enping, but at present, he has no worries about food and clothing, so everyone should rest assured.

Afterwards, the two sides continued to write letters.Because Song Yingsheng knew that Song Yingxing was compiling "Tiangong Kaiwu", he searched for a variety of popular science books on natural history and technology from Guangzhou and sent them to them.This time, Song Yingxing's itch was tickled. Not only did he write a letter to ask his brother to try to collect such books, but he also sent 20 taels of silver through the Escort Bureau.

Song Yingsheng knew that his brother should be taught and his salary was meager, so to be honest, he didn't have much extra money.The 20 taels of silver are about my brother's savings for several years, but it is inconvenient for me to publicly say that I am working for Australians, and writing a few books is really nothing.

"Thank you chief for your concern. My younger brother is now in the position of the teacher in Fenyi County, so he can live with peace of mind."

"Whatever book he wants, let him just open his mouth and don't send any money. I will take care of it." Du Yibin looked rich and powerful, "It's just that the book is finished, so I have to send a copy to me first."

Du Yibin set off from Enping back to Guangzhou the next day.

The main reason for his return to Guangzhou was to "summarize and report on the work in Enping County over the past two years", and at the same time meet Cui Hantang by the way.

Although he had already adopted Song Yingsheng's suggestion, he still couldn't swallow this breath, so he decided to persuade Cui Hantang to give Zhang Xiao some "comrade-like friendship".

When the two met in the Temple of the Five Immortals, they first scolded Zhang Xiao for being "disrespectful", and then they figured out how to "apply eye drops" to him.

Cui Hantang felt that it was impossible to "take back" Zhang Jiayu now.There is no rush to put eye drops on Zhang Xiao - he can't run away.And it's not too late to practice iron sand palm for a few days before going.But just breaking Zhang Jiayu's line like this, he really couldn't bear it.

Du Yibin rolled his eyes, suddenly remembered something, and asked, "Does this Jiayu have brothers and sisters?"

"There is a brother, Zhang Jiazhen, but he is only six years old." Cui Hantang said dejectedly, "I think he is too young to be promoted. There is also a younger sister, but she is not very old."

"This brother is too young, since there is a younger sister, wouldn't it be easy to handle? Let Zhang Jiayu's younger sister become a Taoist nun in the Temple of the Five Immortals. In the Temple of the Five Immortals, there are too many Taoist priests and too few Taoist nuns. His family is not very poor. Why, let Zhang's mother and her daughter live in Wuxian Temple after her illness is cured. You can teach students in the Daoist class in the temple. His family is a scholarly family, so mother and daughter should be literate? We lack teachers , They just happen to teach to earn some money, the best of both worlds, by the way, isn’t Zhang Jiazhen too young? Why don’t we just buy a suite for their family in the temple, and we will pay for the board and lodging.”

Cui Hantang really didn't expect Du Yibin to come up with such an idea, he really felt like a fairy flying from the sky.But he was a little hesitant. Is it too much noise to do so?He felt somewhat inappropriate.

"Is that appropriate?"

"What's inappropriate," Du Yibin said, "Think about it: for Zhang Xiao, we are helping him take care of Zhang Jiayu's family members so that he can work with peace of mind; for Zhang Jiayu, his whole family is here with us, and so on. He was admitted to the civil service and asked his mother and sister to work for him—isn’t that easy?”

"That's right, that's right, you really have a skill!" Cui Hantang praised greatly, "Take the bottom of the pot! High, really high!"

Just do it, he immediately called his deputy, Fu Meng, and asked him to do some preparatory work.

Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, Fu Meng shook his head and said "inappropriate".

"What's wrong?"

"Old Cui, don't you know that women's crowns have a bad reputation in this time and space?"

"Is there such a saying?" Du Yibin frowned.

"Of course there are. Not only women's crowns but also nuns. In the eyes of the common people, they are no different from prostitutes. Even female disciples who study the Fa with integrity are often burdened by such a reputation." Fu Meng said, "I don't I know if this Zhang Jiayu is a rich man, but since he has such a great talent and reputation, he must be a son of a so-called "clean family background". I can't even imagine what kind of rumors and rumors there will be outside. This is not a public slap in the face, it can be regarded as a dirty person... Is it strange that Zhang Jiayu doesn't hate you to the bone? You are not a favor, but a feud."

"Rational, reasonable." Cui Hantang thought it was indeed the case.The few female Taoist students in my view are often criticized by others.Ordinary people don't care whether you are new or old. Prejudice formed over hundreds of years cannot be changed in a year or two.

"Xiao Du, you can't do such a bad idea!" Cui Hantang turned his face, "I was almost killed by you!"

Du Yibin thought to himself, I didn't know there was such a set of twists and turns!

"Okay, I was wrong, I was wrong, what do you say?"

Cui Hantang's eyes rolled: "Anyway, Zhang Xiao can't be comfortable. You have to pay a price for stealing people from me. By the way, you said that you should give the people of Shen'ao Institute a chance to select a few staff members. This is a good proposal! Go find Zhang Xiao."

"We can decide what to do with him for the society's affairs. Besides, the staff uses Nanhai County to pay their salaries, and they don't take up Nanhai County's establishment..."

"Discuss with him, hehe, Daoist's people are not for nothing."

Du Yibin's thoughts were more complicated than Cui Hantang's, and he thought for a while and said, "It's fine if someone robs him, but he has to pay a price!"

……

Cui Hantang and Du Yibin came to Zhang Xiao's office with a murderous look, swaggered open his office door, and then sat down in front of Zhang Xiao, causing his eyebrows to frown.The Taoist priest and himself have always kept the water in the well, so they came to visit so suddenly?Looking at Du Yibin behind him also had a sinister smile, he immediately understood: this is for Zhang Jiayu.

Before he could speak, Cui Hantang opened his mouth:

"Zhang Yaoshi, you are really powerful. You dare to cut the bullshit of Daoist and Lao Du. You are quite fat. Do you think Lao Du and I are easy to bully." He patted the table lightly while talking, smiling The latter looked at Zhang Xiao without a smile, and the latter looked at Cui Hantang, who was twice his size, and Zhang Xiao was also a little guilty. Although it was impossible for Cui Hantang to beat him, he slapped himself hard, and he probably would have to rest for a long time.

"Saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. I also see his filial piety and move the sky..."

"Come on! There are so many filial sons in Guangzhou. He is the only one who is so filial?! He was born as a member of my Shen'ao Institute, and died as a member of my Shen'ao Institute. You took him away, You have to give us an explanation as to where Lao Du and I will lose face." Cui Hantang refused to let go.

Zhang Xiao had a wry smile on his face, wondering what these two are doing!What about "living" and "dead"?
He somewhat understood that the two of them were going to get back together. After all, they had to seek an explanation whether it was for face or the loss of talent, and maybe they had to make some compensation or something.

"That's not right, Old Cui, I understand that you value Zhang Jiayu, one of the Three Loyalties in Lingnan, but didn't Lao Du publicly say last time that he is not a celebrity collector? No matter what, he has his eyes on him."

"I'm not a celebrity collector..."

Cui Hantang signaled Du Yibin not to speak, and said to himself: "That's not nonsense, the people who can make their names in Qing history must be the capable Shen'ao Institute or established by Lao Du, besides, he is now the leader of Zhaoqing. There is still a shortage of people down here, I have been looking at Zhang Jiayu for a long time, but you cut him off, do you think he is angry?"

"I really don't know about this. It's my fault, it's my fault!" Zhang Xiao smiled, "Since you're here, you must have some ideas. You're all your own, so just say no."

"Zhang Yaoshi, you are indeed a happy person. Then we will not hide it. You see, Zhang Jiayu, a member of the Shen'ao Society, was directly transferred by you as a trainee staff member. This is the first time since the establishment of the society. Well, what Lao Du means is that he is going to send out a proposal at an appropriate time, so that when hiring staff in our territory in Guangdong and Guangxi, we will give priority to recruiting from this Olympic Bidding Society, and then slowly spread it to the entire Central Plains. At that time, you Zhang Yaoshi not only have to support, but also cooperate with me and Lao Cui to get the support of other veterans as much as possible."

These words made Zhang Xiao frowned, Lao Du's picture is not small.

"It's okay for me to vote in favor of this matter. But you have to think about it. Although the Senate has not expressly said that it is not allowed to recruit staff by the senators themselves, it is essentially against the cadre appointment system. Originally, everyone secretly There is nothing wrong with the operation. If you want to vote in the open, isn’t that self-inflicted? Are you two afraid of being sprayed by the elders at that time? Don’t say anything else, it’s just the phrase "collude with the old forces and cultivate a private team" You can’t bear it! I said you two are really planning to make a proposal?”

Now the water between the two retreated six or seven feet at once.With such a point from him, he immediately realized the inadequacy of the proposal.
