Chapter 404: College Meals
"When the student is not on the Zhuangzi, the big and small things in the Zhuangzi are handled by the insiders, and the teacher has not talked to Jinyang?" Xuan Shijing asked.
"Xiao Xianggong said that there is no hurry for the time being, and I will talk about it when you come back, it is just a place to live, it doesn't have to be like the old man's house, it's just simple." Gao Shilian said: "Xiao Xianggong was dismissed, and now he can be said to be a clean breeze with his sleeves, and he doesn't pay attention to anything. ”
"In this case, the student will arrange it as soon as possible and strive to solve the problem of the house within half a month." Xuan Shijing said.
"In such a hurry?" Gao Shilian was stunned, how could it be possible to build a house in this half a month?
"This house is placed around the academy, and the students will send craftsmen over as soon as possible, and I am afraid that in half a month, the craftsmen around Chang'an will be transferred to Longshouyuan." Xuan Shijing said: "Longshouyuan's side will continue to expand on the basis of the original Yong'an Palace and build a new palace. ”
"Build a new palace? It's good, why is this happening again? Gao Shilian wondered.
For the construction of a new palace, Gao Shilian is not surprised, what is the situation of Taiji Palace, Gao Shilian knows better than anyone else, and he has not suffered less in Taiji Palace.
"Speaking of which, this matter is still proposed by the students, the location of the Taiji Palace is not very good, and the environment is also very poor, after retiring from the dynasty today, I will see Your Majesty in the Ganlu Palace, and Your Majesty's old illness has recurred." Xuan Shijing said: "Your Majesty fought everywhere when he was young, and the root of the disease left behind, the environment of the Taiji Palace and the illness on His Majesty's body, it is simply a tortured life that is better than death, so since the Taiji Palace is not good, it would be good to simply build a palace again, anyway, now the treasury is full, and the money has been piled up in the treasury and rotten, it is better to spend it, it is a good thing for the people, and it is also a good thing for the court. That's just a lump of scrap copper. ”
"Today's Taiji Palace is indeed not done." Gao Shilian smiled: "Building a new palace is not a bad thing, not in the court, all day long in your Zhuangzi, the old man has seen things that he can't see before, and the old man's bones can accompany this prosperous world again." ”
Whatever you do, be grounded.
Xuan Shijing and Gao Shilian sat outside, chatting unconsciously for most of the hour, and at this time Xiao Yu also came out of the school, looked at the sky, and it was almost noon.
"Shijing, let's have dinner at the academy at noon today." Gao Shilian said with a smile.
"Okay." Xuan Shijing responded.
When it was time for class to end, Xiao Yu walked to the pavilion and saw Xuan Shijing, who hurriedly got up and saluted.
Regardless of whether people are in officialdom or not, Xiao Yu is always Xuan Shijing's predecessor, and this has nothing to do with official positions.
"Xuanhou, the old man is just a teacher now, so there is no need to be like this." Xiao Yu helped Xuan Shijing up: "The old man also wants to thank Xuanhou for giving the old man such a place to live." ”
Gao Shilian smiled on the side: "Xiao Xianggong, you can't be called Xuanhou now, you have to call Xuangong." ”
"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be." Xuan Shijing waved his hand again and again: "The two ministers are seniors, and in front of the two, the kid is always a junior." ”
"It turned out to be a high promotion, which is gratifying." Xiao Yu said with a smile: "Now the old man has nothing to do to congratulate you on your ascension, and the old man invited us to have a meal at noon today." ”
"Xiao Xianggong is rare and generous." Gao Shilian smiled: "Let's go, go to the canteen to eat." ”
Xuan Shijing followed the two of them around the school hall and came to the canteen in the backyard of the college, in the spacious canteen, there were neatly arranged seats and benches, and when they walked into the canteen, there were three windows for taking food.
When the students of the academy saw the two masters and Xuan Shijing entering the dining hall to eat, they made way for the three of them and respectfully asked the three of them to get the meal first.
Xiao Yu took a vegetarian dish, a bowl of soup and a big bowl of rice, while Gao Shilian took two dishes and one soup, one meat and one vegetable, and Xuan Shijing took a tray and took a steamed bun and a meat.
After the three of them finished taking the meal, Xiao Yu took out a dozen copper coins from the pocket of his cuff, counted them, put them into the box next to the window, and took out a few copper coins from his pocket and made up for them.
Xiao Yu knew the price of the dishes in this canteen, so after taking the dishes, he counted them himself, and he got the amount, and put the money in the box, and ordinary students did the same.
"Xiao Xianggong and the teacher still have to pay for eating in the canteen?" Xuan Shijing was surprised: "Shouldn't the food in this canteen be served for free to the two of you?" ”
Xiao Yu shook his head: "It is natural for the old man and Shi Lian to pay for dinner." ”
Gao Shilian also smiled and nodded.
Now Xuan Shijing is Xiao Yu, a person who has personally experienced Gao Shilian's evaluation.
After Xuan Shijing was stunned, he smiled and said, "In this way, the teacher and Xiao Xianggong are teaching in my Dongshan Academy, and the younger generation will have to pay for the two of them." ”
"The two of us came to teach in this academy, why do you want your little money?" Xiao Yu said unhappily.
"There is absolutely no reason in this world for people to give in vain." Xuan Shijing sat opposite Xiao Yu and Gao Shilian: "Teaching and educating people is a hard errand, if the two of them have to pay for food in the academy, then why can't the juniors pay for this money?" ”
Gao Shilian saw that Xiao Yu and Xuan Shijing were going to fight, so he hurriedly stepped forward to stop him: "Okay, okay, don't talk about it, eat and eat, Xiao Xianggong, I just told Shijing that I want to build a house for you next to the academy, and there are many interesting things in the court in the past two days, and I will talk to you in detail after eating in a while." ”
Whether it is Xuan Shijing's promotion or His Majesty Li Er's order to build a new palace, it has just been decided this morning, and even the holy decree to build a new palace has not yet been issued, which is indeed a new thing.
And His Majesty Li Er's holy decree to build a new palace, no matter how you say it, you will not get it to the Taiji Hall until tomorrow morning, and then the three provinces will issue an official edict to recruit civil servants.
At this time, the conscription and conscription are just right, and it will not delay the people from farming.
The food in the college canteen tastes pretty good, and the current academy plus two gentlemen is only about seventy people, even if it is operated at a loss, this is not a big deal for Xuan Shijing, and the academy only consumes a few dollars a year?
"Teacher, Xiao Xianggong, after these children have been studying for two years, the students plan to take an examination for them, after all....... Not all children are suitable for reading, and they can get ahead by reading. Xuan Shijing said.
Gao Shilian and Xiao Yu glanced at each other and nodded: "That's true." ”
"Although the old man also advocates education without class, not all children will be able to live by reading and eating in the future." Xiao Yu said.
