Chapter 141 Willow Biaotou
Zheng Huaiyu nodded heavily, with a determined light in his eyes: "I understand, I will definitely pass this test, mother, please wait for good news!"
"I'm going to go all out now!"
Zheng Huaiyu was a woman with clear goals. Once she had a clear goal, she would not waste a second. She immediately stood up and left in a hurry with her personal maid.
After her figure went far away, Zheng Fenghui could not help but speak, with a hint of joking tone: "Are you confusing her a little bit?"
Gu Qinlan glanced at him with a hint of amusement in her eyes: "Do you think I am misleading her?"
Zheng Fenghui had a mischievous smile on his face: "Isn't it? Let her study the rules with all her strength, so that she won't have time to make trouble in the next two months. Let her learn the ways of housekeeping, and you will have more time to handle your own affairs."
Gu Qinlan glanced at him with disdain, and said with dissatisfaction in her tone: "Is this the kind of person I am in your heart?"
Zheng Fenghui answered without hesitation: "Yes."
Gu Qinlan reached out and tapped him on the head, saying sternly, "What about your own affairs? When do you plan to start solving them?"
Zheng Fenghui rubbed his head and said coquettishly: "Why are you so impatient? I haven't had enough fun yet!"
Seeing the anger flashing in Gu Qinlan's eyes, he quickly changed his words: "Okay, I'll deal with it tomorrow, okay?"
Gu Qinlan said without question: "Three days. If you still can't find the school within three days, our previous agreement will be declared invalid."
Zheng Fenghui was anxious now: "You are too harsh! Can you give me two days?"
Gu Qinlan turned and left, saying firmly, "Just three days. There is no room for negotiation."
Zheng Fenghui let out a series of mournful cries, and the sound made Gu Qinlan couldn't help laughing out loud.
That afternoon, Zheng Fenghui hurried out the door with his entourage and some gifts as a token of his apprenticeship.
Gu Qinlan was curious about what action he would take next, so she sent Hongye to follow him quietly.
It was not until night fell that Zheng Fenghui returned with a look of loss and fatigue.
He looked depressed, obviously having suffered a setback.
Hongye couldn't help but laugh as she reported, "The eldest son first visited his first mentor, but he couldn't even get through the door. The mentor even sent dogs to chase him away, and the eldest son even lost one of his shoes."
"The second teacher was a little better, but that teacher actually asked the eldest master to show mercy and let him go."
"As for the third mentor, he did not explicitly reject him, but the students in the academy protested strongly, claiming that if the mentor accepted the eldest son, they would drop out and transfer to other academies."
Gu Qinlan also laughed out loud after hearing this: "Serves you right!"
Fu Yu laughed for a while before asking, "Will the eldest master really be unable to find the school?"
Gu Qinlan smiled and replied, "It's hard to predict. Anyway, let him experience the frustration himself first, otherwise he will never truly understand the hardship of asking others to do things for him."
The next morning, Zheng Fenghui had breakfast and went out again to continue working on his studies.
Gu Qinlan still sent Hongye to follow.
This trip will take a whole day.
At night, when Zheng Fenghui came back, he looked disheveled, with disheveled hair and wrinkled clothes, as if he had just been through a fierce battle.
Hongye looked a little distressed: "Today, the eldest master only went to the first teacher. He has been squatting at the entrance of the school and even refused to let his followers follow him. The teacher released the dog to drive him away many times. Every time he was scared away, he went back to squat again."
After listening to the story, Gu Qinlan raised her eyebrows slightly and commented, "Well, there is something to it. You know how to use your brain."
Hongye looked confused: "Use your brain?"
Gu Qinlan chuckled: "He is laying out a strategy, using the tactic of inflicting pain on one's self."
Hongye was stunned for a moment and asked in surprise: "How can the eldest master be so wise?"
"Shoot..."
Fu Yu couldn't help but burst out laughing, then quickly covered her mouth with her hands to stop the sound.
Gu Qinlan couldn't help but laugh out loud: "If he heard this, he would definitely hate you."
Hongye smiled awkwardly.
Gu Qinlan said slowly: "He is just a little reckless, and he is still young. People in the mansion are too indulgent to him, so he seems to lack some scheming. However, he is not stupid."
It can even be said that he possesses both courage and wisdom.
Otherwise, in his previous life, he would not have been promoted to general at such a young age. Unfortunately, God was jealous of his talent, and he died on the battlefield in his early twenties.
"Just yesterday, he visited three well-known schools and stated that these three were his favorite choices. Then, he carefully selected the one that satisfied him the most from among these three."
Hongye was puzzled: "But the teacher of that school was very indifferent to him and even released dogs to bite him. Wouldn't it be smoother for him to go to the other two schools? Why did the eldest master want to suffer so much?"
Gu Qinlan smiled and shook her head: "Perhaps he chose this school because he felt that the teacher had a unique personality and that he had a similar temperament to him?"
The next day, Zheng Fenghui went out early again.
This time, without waiting for Gu Qinlan's instructions, Hongye took the initiative to follow him.
Gu Qinlan did not ask about Zheng Fenghui's affairs, but called Liang and took Fu Yu and Xiaoman away from the mansion.
Today is the day Jiang Wenyuan sets off for Lingnan.
In recent days, Jiang Wenyuan has been busy, running around looking for help and buying vehicles and horses.
Gu Qinlan discussed with him and thought that it would be better to form a caravan on their own instead of cooperating with other caravans. Jiang Wenyuan himself had rich experience in caravans, and Gu Qinlan had no shortage of funds, so forming a caravan was the most suitable choice for them.
Therefore, in recent days, Jiang Wenyuan has been so busy that he has never had to rest, and finally prepared all the necessary manpower and vehicles.
During this process, Jiang Wenyuan's friends also provided a lot of help.
This friend was Liu, the head of the Longmen Escort Agency. Jiang Wenyuan also invited him to join the caravan as a guard during this trip to Lingnan.
Seeing Chief Liu, Gu Qinlan immediately bowed with a smile: "Hello, Uncle Liu."
Liu Biaotou quickly dodged and said in panic: "How can this be possible? You are the wife of the prince, and I am just a commoner. How can I bear your gift?"
Gu Qinlan said with a smile on her face: "You and my uncle have always been good friends, so in this sense, you are my elder. After all, you and my uncle got together first, and I married into Prince Duan's mansion later. Uncle Liu is worthy of this gift from the younger generation."
Furthermore, the future of their own caravan still depends on the care and support of Headmaster Liu.
Jiang Wenyuan said with a smile: "Old Liu, what Qin Lan said is absolutely right. You really deserve this courtesy."
Liu Biaotou laughed loudly: "There is no need to be so rigid about etiquette, but I have the audacity to acknowledge this niece."
Gu Qinlan also said gently: "I hope Uncle Liu will take good care of me in the future."
