Chapter 319 1 Must Read
Liu Ruyue's face turned red with embarrassment. She lowered her head and glanced at everyone at the table, not knowing what to say.
Xie Yingfeng laughed so wildly that Qu Wanning had to elbow him to make him tone it down.
"I just thought that you, General Xiong, had the final say at home." Xie Yingfeng quickly restrained his smile and said, "It turns out that you are also afraid of my sister-in-law!"
"Why should I be afraid of her?" Xiong Shilin frowned and said in a muffled voice, "I just saw that she was weak in everything, her shoulders couldn't lift anything, her hands couldn't lift anything, and she would be blown away by the wind when she walked. I couldn't bear to see her like that, so I could only do everything for her. What do you mean by afraid? You, the military advisor, really can't talk!" After saying that, he immediately picked up the wine glass, "Come on, military advisor, I, Old Xiong, toast you a glass. My wife has been bothering me these past few days!"
Xie Yingfeng couldn't help laughing again. It was the first time he saw someone talk about being henpecked in such a refreshing and refined way. Xiong Shilin, this rough man, was quite interesting in his rough way.
Now he understood why Wei Ling wanted to keep Xiong Shilin locked up.
This person is not a bad person by nature, he just used to be a bandit and he speaks and acts without thinking.
If taught well, it can indeed be a good helper.
Xie Yingfeng's eyes couldn't help but fall on Wei Ling and Su Jixiang again, and he sighed secretly in his heart. Ever since Su Jixiang came to Mangcheng, Wei Ling has really become a different person.
In the past, Wei Ling was indifferent and only focused on revenge, not taking care of his body. But now Wei Ling is different. His mind is open, and he smiles more often and brighter.
Mangcheng and the entire Black Tiger Army also underwent significant changes under the influence of Su Jixiang and Wei Ling.
Xie Yingfeng could almost foresee that in the near future, Mangcheng would become the center of the entire north. If Su Jixiang was given another three to five years, Mangcheng would probably become more prosperous than the capital.
Tomorrow is the auction of the land in the new city area of Mangcheng. After the planning of him and Su Jixiang these days, many wealthy people and gentry in Mangcheng have become interested in the new city and have signed up to come and take a look.
Xie Yingfeng thought of the three-dimensional model of the future Mangcheng new urban area that he had placed in his study, and his heart was filled with emotion.
I wonder how surprised everyone will be when I show the model in front of everyone tomorrow!
Xie Yingfeng smiled slightly. If Su Jixiang's method works, after tomorrow's auction, the governor's mansion in Mangcheng can be renovated! After all, they have money now...
The host and guests enjoyed the meal very much, and almost every dish won unanimous praise from everyone.
Xiong Shilin ate so much that his eyes almost stopped moving. In the end, he walked out of the general's mansion with his hands on his waist. He was so full...
Su Jixiang was afraid that he really had indigestion, so he asked Guihua to buy some stomach-strengthening and digestion-promoting medicine for Liu Ruyue to take away.
"Madam, I am a rough man. I know I was wrong before." Before leaving, Xiong Shilin bowed to Su Jixiang. He did not dare to bend too much, for fear that the food would roll out of his throat if he bent over... "I, Old Xiong, will follow the general from now on! I, Old Xiong, have no other wishes, but only one request. Please, Madam, invite me to your house every now and then to have a meal to satisfy my cravings! Just for your cooking skills, I, Old Xiong, will never betray the general!"
Everyone couldn't help but burst into laughter again when they heard this.
"Okay! General, whenever you want to eat something delicious, just ask someone to send a message." Su Jixiang said with a smile.
As soon as she finished speaking, Wei Ling grabbed her shoulders and said, "Xiong Shilin, you are so good, aren't you afraid that my wife will be tired? Cooking for a bear like you? You're dreaming!" He punched Xiong Shilin on the shoulder half-jokingly, "I'll see how you perform in the future. If you perform well, I will reluctantly trouble my wife! Do you hear me?"
"Alas, General, you are so polite." Xiong Shilin said with a smile, "I promise to behave well in the future!"
"You idiot!" Liu Ruyue didn't want to see Xiong Shilin anymore. Their children were already of school age! This idiot didn't even ask the general to send his children to Mangcheng to attend the Black Tiger Army's school, so that Zeng Daru could teach them in person. Instead, he wanted to eat wine and food? However, the wine and food prepared by the lady were really mouth-watering...
For a moment, Liu Ruyue was caught in a dilemma.
Seeing that Liu Ruyue seemed to be hesitant to speak, Su Jixiang took her hand and said, "Sister Ruyue, the school over at Heishi River will soon open. Your child can go to school there. If you think the school in Mangcheng is better, you can send your child here directly. We will soon set up a long-term care class to take care of the children of soldiers in remote areas who do not have the conditions to build a school. This class will also be taught by Mr. Zeng himself. The children can go home once every two weeks to rest for four days. Don't worry, the Black Tiger Guards will be responsible for the pick-up and drop-off of the children, so you don't have to worry about it!"
Su Jixiang could see what Liu Ruyue was thinking.
Whether in the Daxie Dynasty or in modern times, all the wrongdoings parents do are for the future of their children.
Mr. Zeng was well-known in Mangcheng and even the entire northern literary world before, but later he helped people with more lawsuits and wrote less articles. Now he was invited to give lectures, and many local gentry families were asking if they could send their children to Mr. Zeng's class.
But they were all declined by Wei Ling.
After all, Mr. Zeng was willing to come to teach because of his and Su Jixiang's face. He only used his face for the children of his own army, and no one else was allowed to take advantage of it!
If these people were not rejected, how could the superiority of the entire Black Tiger Army be demonstrated?
Wei Ling wants the entire Mang City to be proud of the Black Tiger Army.
After all, Su Jixiang had told him that the army was not meant to be feared by the people, but to be respected and loved by the people! The people should be honored to join the Black Tiger Army!
Aren’t all kinds of glory manifested in these tiny aspects?
If everything can be bought with money, what kind of glory is that!
After hearing what Su Jixiang said, Liu Ruyue hurriedly bowed, "That's great! Thank you, madam, for your care and kindness! I will pack up the child when I get back and send him here to study under a teacher!" She came from a good family, being the daughter of an official. She had also received education herself, so she naturally knew how important a famous teacher was for a child's enlightenment!
So when Qu Wanning took her to school, she had the idea of sending her own children to school!
How many people in the North can afford to invite Mr. Zeng, who is famous throughout the North?
Being able to be his disciple will be a very prestigious thing, whether you are promoted to a higher academic level or recommended to other great scholars in the future!
Her husband was born a bandit, so she wanted her child to be an excellent scholar! In the future, he could get an official position, so that he could be proud of his father!
