No money is needed because Qian Long gave the money to build it, so the school will not be clean. After all, after it is built, it will belong to the Qian family and the dignitaries. And if those poor families want to go, it will be okay if he is still there. But after leaving, there is no way.
Family status is valued by aristocratic families, but these businessmen value it more than aristocratic families! The main thing is that everyone is thinking about changing from a merchant's family to a noble family.
The place of learning is not a place for one family, but a place for students from all over the world who want to learn.
For example, Mu Xu has built so many schools, and under the sound of reading aloud, everyone knows that if you come to study, the door will be open, regardless of your status or anything else.
Otherwise, with his current position as pastor, would his life be so tight that he would even have to rob his own disciples of their salary?
After saying hello, many family members and many wealthy merchants came pushing carts to deliver money.
Seeing that Mu Xu was unwilling to talk about this matter, Qian Long also knew that Mu Xu was worried about the future, so he didn't want to talk more, but said, "Do you really think you don't like my grandson?"
Qian Long glanced over there and squatted next to Bai Qi, looking directly at the young man Bai Qi.
Mu Xu said frankly, "Of course I look up to you. How dare I look down on the future God of Wealth of the Qian family? But, you are not good at studying. You didn't make any progress in the White Horse Academy. If you give it to me, it will be even worse. You might as well learn how to do business. If you have this intention, I can help you get in touch with Su Liheng of the Su family. That kid is doing business in Yangzhou now."
Qian Long sighed, then smiled bitterly: "It seems that my Qian family will not be able to produce an official."
Only Mu Xu wants to speak
But at this time, someone in the crowd said: "I think, Mr. Shui'an, your Lantern Festival poems are much better than the Empress's poem "Lights of Dim"!
Many people heard it, and as soon as these words came out, the originally noisy Yunmu Pavilion suddenly became quiet, and they all looked at the student who shouted these words.
And when the student saw that he spoke louder in excitement and attracted so many people to watch, he immediately felt at a loss.
Seeing that the student was silent, someone from the second floor shouted: "Tell me how you can't compare! What's the use of just shouting!"
As soon as these words came out, many people's eyes were full of joking expressions.
Is it possible for a student like you to comment on whether the Queen's poems are good or bad?
Not to mention that "The Sapphire Case" was known to everyone present, but in the end you said it was not as good as Wen Junzi's song?
After Wen Junzi heard about the "Qingyu Case" that day, he tore up the Shangyuan Festival poems he had written on the spot, saying that he had no shame to show them.
Mu Xu looked at the man with a smile, without saying much, and did not talk to Qian Long either, just waiting for what to come next.
However, the blue-clothed man known as the "Wen Junzi" stood up, bowed to everyone and said, "My child is ignorant and disturbed you all. Please forgive me. Qiu's poems are indeed not as good as the Queen's. For example, "The clouds resemble clothes and the flowers resemble face" and "When will the bright moon appear" are poems that Qiu could not think of even if he tried his best, not to mention "That person is at the end of the dim lights." "
As he spoke, Qiu Shui'an bowed again.
The student who made the statement also quickly bowed.
Naturally, there are many good people among everyone, especially the Queen.
Looking at the person who shouted, he was from the Wu family. Naturally, he wanted to make a fool of himself, and even more deeply, he was thinking about humiliating the reputation of the [Wenjunzi].
After all, worse is worse. What does the person on your side mean when you shout this?
But Qiu Shui'an admitted it in public, which was a bit disappointing. Even though he was a meddler, he kept his mouth shut. After all, Qiu Shui'an did this in public and refused to let go. Then he would inevitably be despised by others if he stood up and spoke out.
A little farce.
Mu Xu smiled and stopped looking. This was thanks to the fact that it was in the south. Although the Empress had a great influence, she was not as good as the capital after all.
If you were in the capital, if you dared to shout like this, you would have been surrounded by people and beaten!
Qian Long, who was beside Mu Xu, glanced at Wen Junzi, then looked at Mu Xu, and lowered his voice and asked: "Is the empress's style really the best in the modern era? Her reciting of poems and lyrics far surpasses that of Wen Junzi, an ancient and elegant gentleman?"
Hearing this, Mu Xu stood up with a smile on his face, but with a solemn look on his face: "Do you think my student Xu Zuiyin's knowledge ranks high compared to the people here?"
Qian Long immediately asserted: "If the knowledge of the King of Poetry is here, I dare not say that it is in the top five, but it must be in the top ten! If it is poetry, it must be in the top three!"
Mu Xu then asked: "My student Xun Kuang, what do you think of him?"
Qian Long immediately said: "There are ten talents in the world, but a man who has seven talents alone does it need to be said?"
But after saying that, Qian Long asked: "I want to ask you, Queen, why are you talking about this, praising your own students?"
After Mu Xu smiled, he pointed at himself and asked, "What do you think of me?"
Qian Long didn't want to talk.
Isn’t this nonsense!
Although the literary giant is criticized for his cynicism, people never talk about the great wine sacrifice and knowledge in the Mu Xu, because there is nothing wrong with him, and he is not qualified to criticize him.
Mu Xu said with a smile: "The three of us, master and disciple, only talk about poems and articles in front of the Queen. Regardless of our status, none of us dare to say anything."
But after finishing speaking, Mu Xu added: "But if it is really a fart, and it is about to fart, the queen will smell it, and she will not be angry. Maybe she will smile and tell us to stay away."
Qian Long listened to Mu Xu's erroneous answer, but inexplicably, he already understood it.
It is evident that someone can make this pastor so self-deprecating and yet praise him.
When Mu Xu turned around, he found that the rain had stopped and the dark clouds dispersed. A ray of sunshine shone from the dark clouds on the mist-shrouded Yunmu Lake.
Especially under the golden sunshine, looking from the Yunmu Pavilion to the Yunmu Lake in front of me, in the ray of sky, the water surface and the sky are reflected, I don't know who is the lake and who is the sky, it is really a magnificent scene!
Immediately sighed: "How many people have written poems about Yunwu Pavilion. There are good words and poems, but there is no poem that can be engraved on the inscription. So I have just been thinking, what if How nice it would be to have my queen here.”
After a brief moment of seriousness, Mu Xu looked back at Qian Long and said: "You don't know, there are a lot of pricks here, right? There are even more in the capital! But, as long as the empress attends, those children who think highly of themselves, one by one They are so quiet that they don’t even dare to write poems. What are you going to do when you go to a literary festival? One day, you come to see the Queen, and then you come back to wait for the Queen’s poems. If the Queen is here today, I will keep them all quiet. , especially the most noisy ones.”
What kind of person does Mu Xu say?
But Qian Long knew that Mu Xu was talking about the people from the Zuo family and the Xu family over there, in other words, the families from the Shangjun Chamber of Commerce and the families from the Wanli Chamber of Commerce.
Qian Long didn't say anything, just smiled. Although he looked prosperous, he was actually living in the gap between these two major chambers of commerce. His chamber of commerce had to be disbanded last year.
If it weren't for his strong foundation, he might have been eaten up by these two major chambers of commerce.
But think of this
Qian Long thought of what Mu Xu had just said about Su Liheng.
Tint your lips?
Qian Long thought for a while, but he still couldn't decide. After all, the current situation was unclear. If he cooperated with Su Liheng like this, it would be binding. If the Zuo family, Qi family, Ouyang family and other big families had nothing to do this time, You can ruin it yourself.
Mu Xu glanced at Qian Long and knew what the old boy was thinking, but he didn't want to reveal it.
But I knew in my heart that in order to complete His Majesty's big move, especially the Queen's plan to build a state-owned commercial industry and use business to raise soldiers and increase the national treasury, this old guy Qian Long must be captured. But There is no rush, the tense is unclear, these old foxes from the south will definitely not express their stance.
Although he is needed as a lobbyist to be effective at this time, but just talking about Su Liheng, didn't it already have an effect?
But this time.
There was another commotion in the pavilion. Mu Xu and Qian Long looked over and saw Old Master Gu Que Zhi Gu coming.
A smile immediately appeared on Muxu's face and he said immediately: "Old man, we are finally here!"
But just when he got to the stairs and wanted to go downstairs, he said, "Gu Quezhi, you are so arrogant. It took you so long to come here."
But this one looks up.
"Um?!"
Chapter 489 The Queen cannot keep a low profile after all.
Mu Xu, an old scholar, stood there, then blinked, and then squinted hard to see the two people who walked in behind Gu Quezhi.
After confirming that you read it correctly.
Mu Xu pursed his lips, with a complicated expression on his face, and stood at the top of the stairs, feeling a little at a loss.
I just wanted to ask, why are you here? I just muttered a few words, not expecting you to actually come here.
While Qian Long smiled after seeing Gu Quezhi, he also saw the two girls walking behind him, and couldn't help but sigh: "Oh, these two beautiful girls."
After saying that, he looked at Mu Xu to say something, but he noticed that Mu Xu's expression was wrong, and even noticed that Mu Xu's feet were retracted again when he came down the stairs. He couldn't help but ask: "Why, you owe Gu Quezhi Money? You still cheated on his granddaughter Gu Chiyu’s salary. You don’t want to cheat on your grandchildren’s money as well.”
Mu Xu didn't bother to say anything to Qian Long, he just deliberately avoided looking at him, not because he was afraid that the two would see him, but because he was afraid that others would notice that something was wrong with them.
Can.
Why are you here, walking so fast?
Aren't you leaving half a decade later than me? Are you going to Guangling, Yangzhou after passing Yunxiang?
But what are you doing here, joining in the fun? Um! According to the temperament of these two people, they are indeed willing to join in the fun, but how come they are together with this old guy Gu Quezhi? Your Majesty has already reached out to White Horse Academy to disturb those families?
Thought of here
While Mu Xu raised his eyes to look at Gu Quezhi, he also glanced at the two people over there who were surrounded by three children.
But I don’t know if it was noticed.
One of them looked up at him and smiled, then the other one lowered his head.
Good guy.
This smile, which was obviously very good-looking, made Mu Xu, the Imperial Academy's Jijiu Master, who was stomping his feet and the court wanted to shake his head, immediately felt a slight thump in his heart.
Once you know that you are here, you can't avoid it no matter what. Who makes yourself famous?
But
I haven't seen her for more than a month, but why does the Queen look at me and smile, which makes me feel scared and panicked.
Could it be that what I did secretly and privately became known?
It shouldn't be, those things are all important things that are beneficial to the court and the compilation of books. Even if you know about it, you should praise me.
Or are you saying that you know I'm here today and just come to play?
Bah, bah, bah, who's here to play? I'm here to trick old man Qian into getting to know your brother Su Liheng.
When I think of this.
Mu Xu reached out and pinched his nose, his eyes wandering around.
Qian Long looked at Mu Xu motionless, as if he was thinking about something, and as if he was hiding from something, and frowned: "What's wrong with you? Tell me quickly, don't let you two literary giants quarrel and ruin the world." I’m good at literature!”
Mu Xu looked at Qian Long: "Do you want me to accept your grandson as a disciple?"
Qian Long was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously took a step back: "I don't have money. Whether you owe Gu Quezhi money or you cheated someone's granddaughter of money, I don't have money to help you pay it back. Don't have any ideas about me, and don't plot against my grandson!"
Mu Xu rolled his eyes, "Ah, yes, yes! You have no money, you are the poorest! I am asking you now, do you want me to accept your grandson as a registered disciple?"
Qian Long was suspicious: "Just tell me the conditions."
