The little village girl dressed as a disaster star led the whole village astray
Chapter 86: Visit to Thank You
The house where Li Xi and Doctor Wu lived was not only close to the General Zhenbei Mansion, but also a property of the General Zhenbei Mansion.
Since Li Xi and Doctor Wu moved in, many people have seen soldiers driving to look for them.
These were not secrets. The people sent out by County Magistrate Feng and Hu Zhenjiang to investigate quickly found out the connection between Li Xi and the Zhenbei General's Mansion, and also found out that Li Xi's younger brother was indeed studying in the clan school of the Zhenbei General's Mansion.
According to the information they brought back, County Magistrate Feng and Hu Zhenjiang knew that the clan school of the Zhenbei General's Mansion was only opened recently, and there were only two students in it now, one was Li Xi's younger brother Hu Zi, and the other was Doctor Wu's disciple A Wei.
Nowadays, families with good family background in Jiayuguan are trying to use their connections and find ways to send their children of school age to the Zhenbei General’s Mansion.
After all, that is the General Zhenbei Mansion. Even if my child is not good at studying, it can be regarded as a good relationship with the General Zhenbei Mansion.
County Magistrate Feng and Hu Zhenjiang looked at each other and said with emotion, "I didn't expect that the Li siblings would have such an opportunity."
They did not think that a little girl like Li Xi could get into the Zhenbei General's Mansion. In their opinion, Li Xi would rise to a higher position by following Doctor Wu.
“I heard from my wife earlier that there is a miracle doctor named Wu beside the Zhenbei General. I think this should be him.
I didn't expect that he would come to Jiangning City under an assumed name and open a small medicine shop."
"The Li siblings are indeed lucky." Hu Zhenjiang also nodded. He was a businessman and believed this more than County Magistrate Feng.
"Now that the truth of the matter has been confirmed, I wonder what Lord Feng thinks?"
County Magistrate Feng saw that he was indeed a big businessman, but he was also a sly person. "With such a good opportunity in front of him, I don't believe that Boss Hu would not be tempted."
Hu Zhenjiang smiled, "Master Feng is right. Miss Li's kindness is really not to be wasted, so I plan to take my son to Jiayuguan to express my sincere gratitude to her in person."
Such an opportunity cannot be measured by money, and he appreciates Li Xi's friendship.
County Magistrate Feng laughed twice, "Boss Hu and I have the same idea, so let's be companions."
County Captain Feng cursed Hu Zhenjiang in his heart for being cunning and treacherous, thinking that he could not see that he was deliberately saying this in front of him, with the purpose of making him say this.
He has already put himself in such a position, how can he refuse? However, since he has owed the other person such a great favor, he should go to the door in person to express his gratitude.
So he didn't resist much in his heart.
When Hu Zhenjiang saw that County Magistrate Feng agreed to go with him to Jiayuguan to express his gratitude, he smiled with satisfaction.
He had never had any dealings with County Lieutenant Feng before, but he had a general understanding of his situation and temperament.
He knew that County Magistrate Feng came from a good family. He had met many people from good families over the years he had been in business. Most of these people had one common problem, which was that they were very self-important and looked down on others.
He had never heard of County Magistrate Feng having this problem, but it would always pay to give it a try.
The little girl from the Li family gave Jin Yu such a great opportunity, so naturally he wanted to help her maximize the benefits.
Hu Zhenjiang glanced at County Captain Feng. Since he had already accepted the favor, he should go to his house to express his gratitude. Favors should be repaid once they are owed. Even if they are not needed today, there is always tomorrow.
"In that case, I won't bother you any more. I'll go back and ask someone to prepare a gift for the meeting, and I'll bring my son to see you tomorrow morning," Hu Zhenjiang stood up and took his leave.
County Magistrate Feng also stood up and saw him out.
After sending Hu Zhenjiang back, County Captain Feng had just sat down when Mrs. Feng came in. She had been listening in the back hall when they were talking just now, but she was still a little dazed after listening.
"The clan studies thing is actually true?"
County Magistrate Feng took a sip of tea in a good mood and said, "It is indeed true. I didn't expect that Tianyou would have such an opportunity."
Just as Hu Zhenjiang had investigated, County Magistrate Feng was the legitimate son of a prominent family. Unfortunately, his biological mother died young, and his father married a woman who was sweet-mouthed but vicious at heart. He did not have an easy life at home.
In his father's eyes, there were only the twins born to his stepmother. In his father's eyes, he, the eldest legitimate son, was almost the same as the illegitimate sons in the mansion. However, because of his status as the eldest legitimate son, his stepmother could not do anything too excessive.
He had never lacked for food, clothing, and famous teachers. County Magistrate Feng was indeed a rather aloof man. He disdained to compete with his stepmother and younger brother for his father's favor and property.
He was a resolute and courageous man. After passing the imperial examination, he asked for permission to go to the border, away from his family, and live a quiet life.
At the border, he had his own home and his own children. He was satisfied with all of this. The only thing he felt he owed was his son, as he was unable to hire a famous teacher for him.
I didn't expect such an opportunity to come.
"This is indeed a great opportunity!" Mrs. Feng said happily, "I just heard you say that you will go to Jiayuguan to express your gratitude tomorrow. We should really thank the little girl named Li Xi from the Li family.
Time is quite tight, I will go and see what needs to be prepared, if it is not available at home, I will have to ask someone to go out and buy it."
After Mrs. Feng finished speaking, she left in a hurry to prepare the thank-you gift she would bring tomorrow without waiting for County Captain Feng to reply.
The next day, Hu Zhenjiang brought Hu Jinyu to see Feng Xianwei and his son early in the morning, and set off with them to Jiayuguan.
So this scene happened.
"This must be Miss Li. I am Hu Jinyu's father, Hu Zhenjiang. I usually do some small business." Hu Zhenjiang said with a smile.
"Boss Hu." Li Xi nodded.
Boss Hu smiled and said, "I heard from Jin Yu that he and Hu Zi are good friends. There's no need for us to be so formal with each other. Just call me Uncle Hu."
County Captain Feng looked at Hu Zhenjiang's appearance and thought that he was worthy of being a businessman. These words immediately narrowed the distance between the two of them.
"Miss Li, I'm Tianyou's father Feng Zelun. I came here today to thank you." County Magistrate Feng said with a smile. "I'm about the same age as Boss Hu. Miss Li, you can just call me Uncle Feng."
Li Xi: …
When I opened the door early in the morning, two uncles appeared out of nowhere?
Boss Hu: ...
Why is this person still copying homework?
Hu Jinyu broke free from his father's hand and walked to Li Xi, "Sister Huzi, where is Huzi?"
"Hu Zi has gone to school and won't be back until noon." Li Xi bent down and touched Hu Jinyu's head, then stood up and said to Hu Zhenjiang and Feng Zelun, "Uncle Hu, Uncle Feng, stop standing at the door and talk. Come in first."
Hu Zhenjiang and Feng Zelun naturally would not refuse. They stepped into the courtyard of Li Xi's house, and the servant behind them followed in with the thank-you gifts they brought.
Li Xi's yard is not big, and the gate is naturally not big either. Just now, the two pairs of father and son were blocking the gate, and she didn't even see the servant following behind them.
When the servant came in, she saw what they were holding in their hands.
"Okay, just put it here." Hu Zhenjiang instructed the servant to put the things down, and Feng Zelun did the same.
Li Xi looked at the yard filled with thank-you gifts and fell silent. The word "filled" here is not an exaggeration but a realistic description. Li Xi saw the thank-you gifts filled from her feet to the door. For the first time, she realized what it meant to have no place to step.
A question suddenly occurred to her: Will they be able to reach the door when they leave?
The Hu family was in business, and their business was quite big, so they were naturally not short of money. Feng Zelun was the eldest son in the family, and even though his stepmother and father treated him badly, he was the only son his mother had, so the dowry was naturally his, so he was not short of money.
The two sides were competing to buy things, and unexpectedly they bought more.
When they came to Jiayuguan this time, each family brought two large carts of thank-you gifts, and they were interrogated by the soldiers guarding the city when they entered the city.
Li Xi's mouth twitched, "Uncles, what are you doing..."
Hu Zhenjiang laughed twice and said, "We were not related before. How can we feel embarrassed that you would think of Jin Yu when you have good things to do? These are just gifts of thanks.
But from now on you are Jin Yu's biological sister. If you have any problem, you can go to Uncle Hu. Uncle Hu will help you if he can, and if he can't, he will find a way to help you."
Feng Zelun looked at Hu Zhenjiang's expression. It is said that businessmen have the ability to say different things to different people. He has witnessed it today and he admits defeat.
"It's not a valuable thing, just accept it. Uncle Feng, I am not the county lieutenant of Jiangning City. If you need me in the future, just ask."
Li Xi glanced at the bright red coral ornament placed at his feet, and the corners of his mouth twitched. This was what he said was not a valuable thing.
“I just saw that Hu Zi felt lonely at school, so I wrote to him hoping that Jin Yu and Tian You could come over to keep him company. Actually, their willingness to come also helped me.
These gifts are too valuable, Uncle Hu and Uncle Feng should take them back. "
"You can't get back what you give away. It's not worth anything, so just use it."
"You don't have to feel any psychological burden. We are all sensible people. We know what it means to have our children study at the Zhenbei General's Mansion Clan School. Compared to the opportunity you gave them, these things are really not worth mentioning."
Li Xi knew that they were telling the truth, and seeing their firm attitude, he did not refuse. He invited them into the house, took the teapot and poured them two cups of tea.
"The Zhenbei General's Mansion has agreed to give me two admission places. If you are ready, you can enroll Jin Yu and Tian You at any time.
However, Jiayuguan is close to Jiangning City, and the clan school of Zhenbei General's Mansion does not provide accommodation, so I am afraid I still need to solve their food and accommodation problems."
"This is not a problem. We have a house in Jiayuguan and we can move our whole family here when the time comes." Hu Zhenjiang said nonchalantly.
In fact, his family was originally in Jiayuguan, but when he was young, Jiayuguan was often invaded by the Huns. At that time, there was no General Zhenbei to guard the place.
Dayan had more defeats than victories in battles with the Huns, and many people fled. He then took his widowed mother and settled down in Jiangning City. Later, his business grew bigger and bigger, and to keep his family company, he bought their family's previous land in Jiayuguan, and also bought the land next door, and built a house on it.
However, their family has always lived in Jiangning City and has never lived in the house in Jiayuguan.
Nowadays, people value being rooted to their land. Li Xi did not expect Hu Zhenjiang to be so courageous. His whole family accompanied his children to study, which is not much different from the large number of high school students accompanying their children to study in later generations.
Li Xi subconsciously looked at Feng Zelun beside her.
Feng Zelun smiled. He was the county lieutenant of Jiangning City, so he naturally couldn't just leave, but he was not without other options.
"Tianyou's maternal grandfather's home happens to be in Jiayuguan."
Li Xi understood and realized that Feng Tianyou could live in his grandfather's house.
Letting Feng Tianyou live in his maternal grandfather's house was the result of discussion between Feng Zelun and his wife. However, Feng Zelun did not intend to let his son live in his father-in-law's house for a long time.
After all, no matter how close they are, Tianyou is still living under someone else's roof.
He plans to work hard during the year-end assessment and strive to be transferred to Jiayuguan. Feng Zelun thinks that it is not a big problem. After all, it is not easy to be transferred from a bad place to a good place, but is it not easy to be transferred from a good place to a bad place?
In fact, Jiayuguan's status in the border area is superior to that of several other cities. After all, it is the first line of defense against the Huns. It is easier to get promoted in Jiayuguan than in other places.
But opportunities often go hand in hand with dangers. Being in Jiayuguan also means standing on the front line against the Huns. The Huns are not only good at fighting the Zhenbei Army head-on with real swords and guns.
They can disguise themselves and scheme.
Once upon a time, a small group of Huns sneaked into Jiayuguan and killed six officials of Jiayuguan in broad daylight. Although they were finally captured by the Zhenbei Army, the six officials did not survive.
Since then, the officials of Jiayuguan have been recognized as the most dangerous officials.
Seeing that they had already thought of the arrangements, Li Xi asked, "When do you plan to let them enroll?"
Hu Zhenjiang said first, "The house is cleaned daily, so you can move in directly. We will move in today and tomorrow, and Jin Yu can start school the day after tomorrow."'
Although Hu Zhenjiang also wanted Jin Yu to go to school as soon as possible, he was still worried about leaving him here alone.
"I will go to Tianyou's grandfather's house later to arrange the follow-up matters. The enrollment time will be set on the day after tomorrow, just like the Hu family."
"of course can.
I will take you there when the time comes, so you can get acquainted with the place."
Hu Zhenjiang and Feng Zelun naturally wanted it very much. After agreeing on a time, Li Xi sent them away.
When they left, the scene that Li Xi had guessed happened just as expected. They brought so many thank-you gifts that they blocked the road leading to the gate.
Fortunately, the servant was there (they blocked the door and couldn't get out...), and he quickly cleared a path for them.
Before leaving, Hu Jinyu took Li Xi's hand and asked, "Sister Huzi, when Huzi comes back, you must tell Huzi that Tianyou and I came to see him today.
We will have class together again the day after tomorrow."
Feng Tianyou was also looking at Li Xi eagerly, waiting for her answer.
"Okay, I'll tell him when he comes back." Li Xi agreed.
"Don't forget it." Hu Jinyu said seriously.
"Okay, I won't forget." Li Xi did not treat Hu Jinyu perfunctorily just because he was a child.
But Hu Jinyu was still worried, and finally Hu Zhenjiang thought he was nagging and just took him away.
