Chapter 702: It’s ordinary but hard to find
Watching Li Tong and others leaving happily, Guan Ji started to walk back and asked Zhang Xingyi: "Tell me, what do you think?"
Zhang Xingyi blinked, "What?"
"You are still pretending to be confused in front of me?" Guan Ji said with a straight face, "Why, I have taken on such a big responsibility and you are not even willing to tell me your own plans?"
"Oh! Sister, what big deal is it to promise Xu Erniang to Li Tong? Aren't you the one who has the final say on the matters in the backyard of Feng Mansion?"
Zhang Xingyi said coquettishly, "Besides, wouldn't it be a good thing to marry off the second wife of the Xu family as soon as possible?"
Guan Ji stopped and looked at Zhang Xingyi steadily with a half-smiling look on her face.
Zhang Xingyi couldn't resist the pressure from Guan Ji's eyes and rolled her eyes: "Actually, it was only after I heard what my sister said that I suddenly came up with such an idea."
Guan Ji then took steps again and said calmly: "Speak."
“Didn’t my sister say, ‘Is it possible that Alang has done something big again?’”
Zhang Xingyi repeated what Guan Ji had said before. "Alang" was said so smoothly that Guan Ji groaned.
“My younger sister also heard what my elder sister said, and then she thought of bringing together the Li family and the Xu family.”
Upon hearing this, Guan Ji became more and more confused, but she kept the expression on her face and signaled Zhang Xingyi to continue.
Zhang Xingyi could only be heard clasping his fingers and saying: "The key to the sixth house of the Li family lies in Li Mu, and now Li Mu is part of the Feng family."
Speaking of this, she glanced at Guan Ji again.
Guan Ji continued to remain expressionless.
“Sister, do you remember that I told you earlier that the Feng family has the most important foundation in Nanxiang. And the most important thing in Nanxiang is the school and the workshop.”
“From my younger sister’s point of view, my brother attaches great importance to school.”
Hearing this, Guan Ji finally said, "You think so too?"
Zhang Xingyi clapped his hands and said with a smile: "It seems that my sister and I have similar views!"
Guan Ji nodded, frowned slightly, and said with some confusion: "Somehow, I always feel that Alang is very anxious about the school."
“I thought it was an illusion, but now that you think so, it seems that I’m not overthinking it.”
Zhang Xingyi said cautiously: "My little sister has some ideas about this matter, I don't know if it's right or not."
"tell me the story."
Although Guan Ji was very unwilling, she also knew that she was not as good as the younger sister of the Zhang family in this regard, otherwise she would not have delegated power to the younger sister of the Zhang family to participate in the management of Pingxiang.
“Look, sister, if other people want to govern a place, they must either recruit famous people or seek help from local powerful families. Only brother, what he does is different from others.”
"Brother, whether he is in Nanxiang, Yuexun, or under the command of Longyou Huqiang Colonel, they are all students who like to use the school."
At this point, Zhang Xingyi lowered his voice, "But the students in the school are still not enough in terms of classics."
“It’s easy to say now, after all, it’s the beginning of the war, and those students can only be regarded as subordinates, not official officials. But if they want to go further in the future, this shortcoming will be their obstacle.”
“Brother tried to get famous people like Guang Luxun (Xiang Lang) to write inscriptions for Nanxiang Academy. When I think about it, I probably want Nanxiang Academy to change this situation.”
Guan Ji finally couldn't help but asked: "Even if Alang wants to push the students in the school, what does this have to do with the Xu family?"
Zhang Xingyi smiled slyly: "Sister, please don't forget that Xu Xun's father, Xu Ci, is also a famous Confucian scholar. He ran to the gate of the palace and cried. Now he is quite famous."
“He must have been the first to initiate the reconstruction of Taixue in the future. The Li family and the Xu family are in-law families, and the Feng family also has Li Mu, a key figure in the Li family.”
“At that time, the students who come out of the school built by my brother will not be able to benefit from Xu Ci’s influence in Taixue.”
When Guan Ji heard this, she took a long breath and said, "My disciple is an old official?"
This woman from this family is truly extraordinary.
“How did you come up with so many things?”
Guan Ji couldn't help but be shocked when she looked at this pretty and cute little girl.
“Sister, I must have forgotten that brother asked me to go to Nanxiang Academy to learn more things last time.”
Zhang Xingyi casually pulled a willow branch from the roadside, twisted it left and right a few times with his dexterous fingers, and pulled out the core strips inside.
She lowered her head and played with the wicker in her hand while saying, "I also went to listen to Mr. Xiang's lectures twice."
As she spoke, she took out a small knife from her body and cut the willow branch in her hand into a willow whistle.
Then he put it in his mouth, the sides of his face swelled up, and the whistle suddenly sounded.
Liu Xiao succeeded in doing it, her eyes curved into crescent moons, and then she carefully put it away. Her childish approach put a doting smile on Guan Ji's face.
Zhang Xingyi then continued, "Brother's eldest disciple, Wei Rong, runs to Mr. Xiang every day."
“Not to mention serving tea and water, even the food I eat to the old gentleman is made alone in the cafeteria. He is really extremely attentive.”
“Also, Nanxiang has printed many classics in recent years. Books that are treasured in other people’s homes can be borrowed at any time in Nanxiang.”
"Mr. Xiang is a book lover, and he also likes to support those who are underachieving. This school student always asks for advice, but he enjoys it and never wants to leave."
“It was then that I realized that Nanxiang Academy must have been instructed by my brother to keep Mr. Xiang in the academy.”
“So I guess that brother is most likely trying to use Mr. Xiang’s reputation to promote the status of Nanxiang Academy.”
Guan Ji looked at Zhang Xingyi who was playing with the willow whistle in her hand. It seemed normal for her to say such things.
But the ability to observe the smallest details and think of the smallest details is something that even most people in the world, let alone myself, cannot match.
Thinking of this, Guan Ji couldn't help but stretched out her hand, touched Zhang Xingyi's head, and sighed: "With Si Niang's talent, it is a pity to be born as a daughter, and what is even more pity..."
At this point, she did not continue.
What's even more pity is that hanging here Alang is really a humiliation of talent.
Zhang Xingyi didn’t know whether he didn’t understand what Guan Ji said, or whether he didn’t understand it on purpose.
She rubbed Guan Ji's palm, with a comfortable expression on her face, like a harmless kitten being petted.
But his tone was very indifferent: "What's wrong with the daughter's body? My brother once said that women should not be inferior to men. And sister, didn't I just say it before? Women can hold up half the sky."
Although Zhang Xingyi said this carelessly on the surface, Zhang Xingyi sighed in his heart.
It is precisely because of this that I have to shamelessly follow my brother.
Otherwise, how could there be people in this world who treat others equally and treat men and women as the same?
My sister is as talented as few others, so she has to be trapped in the palace.
How much more comfortable am I now than her?
Guan Ji naturally didn't know what Zhang Xingyi was thinking. When she heard what the other party said, she laughed and said: "Women are not inferior to men, and women must also have the ability!"
“It’s you, Alang asked you to learn more at Nanxiang Academy, but you didn’t listen.”
“If in the future, as you said, students from the school can enter the hall and enter the court, then the knowledge taught by Alang can be regarded as a school of its own.”
"If you don't learn anything by then, how can you not give up?"
Zhang Xingyi showed a strange expression: "The best math teacher in Nanxiang Academy is in Pingxiang. Wouldn't it be better for me to study here? Why do I have to go to the academy?"
Guan Ji was stunned for a moment, then smiled helplessly.
