Chapter 1226 is all about good reputation
The literati came out of the inn and headed west of the city happily. The scene of seventy or eighty people was quite spectacular.
Master Jiang took six teachers down the mountain to the west of the city. He happened to meet the gentlemen checking out from the Qingtan Inn. He could tell at a glance that the gentlemen should have gone out from the Loushan Academy.
At that moment, I felt happy and ordered the instructor to stop the car.
Master Jiang got out of the car and immediately went to greet the gentlemen: "Gentlemen, are you going to the west of the city?"
The older man looked at the other person as if he was knowledgeable and smiled: "Yes, this gentleman also wants to go to the west of the city. Let's go, let's go together."
“I am the tutor of Loushan Academy.” Master Jiang introduced himself.
Master Loushan?
All the literati were stunned and looked at Master Jiang.
“Gentlemen, I have been asked by the dean to invite you gentlemen to stay in Loushan.” Master Jiang gave a slight salute and smiled kindly.
When the gentlemen heard Master Jiang mentioning Dean Lou Shan, their faces changed slightly.
Just now, they thought it was Mr. Lou Shan from before, but they didn't expect it to be the group of great scholars brought by the He family. After learning their identities, many people said nothing and continued to move forward.
“No need, we already have a place to stay.” The gentleman who spoke to Mr. Jiang lost his previous enthusiasm.
"Gentlemen, the weather is hot, the west part of the city is remote, and the tents are poorly constructed and are infested with snakes, insects, mosquitoes, and ants. The gentlemen cannot bear it for two months. It is better to follow us to Loushan. The dean has already had the rooms cleaned up for the gentlemen." Master Jiang was not upset, and still extended a warm invitation.
"Thank you very much, Dean, for your kindness. It's really not necessary." The gentleman declined without saying anything more and followed everyone away.
Master Jiang watched everyone leave, turned around and his smile fell.
“They all took the initiative to invite me. I didn’t expect this group of people to be so disrespectful.” The teacher came over and spoke displeasedly.
Master Jiang was also very unhappy, but he did not intend to give up: "Let's go to the west of the city."
"Master, they have all refused, why should we go to the west of the city?" "There are so many people in the west of the city. If they don't go, someone will go. If you can't invite them once, inviting them several times will also show the sincerity of our Loushan Academy." "What Master Jiang wants is a good reputation.
“It’s the master who has the foresight.”
Master Jiang turned around and got into the carriage, which headed to the west of the city.
In the middle street of Beijing, one carriage after another stopped at a furniture store in the street. At this time, the boy was carrying tables, chairs and sofas one by one to the carriage.
On this day, many furniture stores in Beijing were sold out of daily furniture, tables, chairs and couches, and a large number of outdoor products were also sold out.
Ye Qianning paid the money, and the shopkeeper happily sent him out.
“Young lady, you’re all done,” Du Yi replied.
"The outdoor supplies will be transported to the west of the city soon. Later, we will take people there to dismantle the tents of the gentlemen and build new yurts. Remember, they must be strong and able to withstand strong winds and heavy rains." Ye Qianning warned.
Gentlemen, you have to attend the Loushan Priesthood, and you will have to stay in the capital for at least two months. Autumn is a windy and rainy season, and a small tent may not be able to withstand it.
"yes."
“The tables and chairs will be placed in the courtyard in the west of the city first, and will be transported there after the yurts are built.”
Du nodded.
Ye Qianning walked towards the carriage. Before she even got on the carriage, she heard someone calling her.
“Qian Ning.”
Ye Qianning turned around and Gu Chi got off the carriage across the street.
“Second uncle.”
"Qian Ning, why did you buy so much furniture?" Gu Chi's eyes swept across the carriage filled with tables and chairs.
