The county magistrate's daughter only wants to farm

"You! Can you behave like a girl? Come and meet Mr. Gongsun!" Gu Huaiyi was helpless with Gu Yin's overly casual attitude, and then nodded in the direction of Gongsun Sheng to apologize, "Please forgive me for my rude behavior, sir."

Only then did Gu Yin notice that there was an old man with white hair and beard sitting at the top.

He was dressed in a dark blue cloth shirt, and just sitting there he gave people the impression that he was a man of great learning, or maybe this is what is called "a man of learning is naturally elegant", Gu Yin thought silently in her heart.

"My daughter greets Mr. Gongsun." Gu Yin took small steps forward and bowed properly as a woman of that era would do. However, her face showed respect for the great scholar. She smiled and said, "I have heard of your great name for a long time. I am glad to see you today. You are indeed worthy of your reputation."

"No need to be so polite, County Lord."

Gongsun Sheng's first impression of Gu Yin was that she was calm and knew when to relax and work hard. She was steady yet agile.

After Gu Yin sat down, Gongsun Sheng began to ask about Zhang Zai's information, but Gu Yin had already told her father everything she knew, so Gongsun Sheng couldn't ask anything else.

However, Gu Yin was more concerned about another question, "Since Mr. Gongsun can come to Ning County, does that mean he has agreed to be the dean of our college?"

"Yin'er, don't be rude. Mr. Gongsun always keeps his word. How could he go back on his word?" Gu Huaiyi pretended to be angry and scolded.

Gongsun Sheng could see that the father and daughter were singing the same tune, but he did not expose them. Instead, he nodded and said, "I have always been good at speaking. The 'Four Sentences' you provided have indeed solved my problem."

"That's great!" Gu Yin was delighted. "With Mr. Gongsun in charge, Ning County Academy will surely be able to train a large number of scholars!"

"I just wonder when you plan to start your shift, sir?" A gleam of light flashed across Gu Yin's eyes.

Gongsun Sheng was stunned and said in surprise, "How come I heard that Ning County Academy has not been built yet?"

The venue hasn’t been built yet, but it’s already time to start work?

"Well, there are only a few months left before the academy opens, so we can still do some preparations now." Gu Yin said disapprovingly.

Gongsun Sheng leaned back slightly, leaning on the back of the chair, and smiled at Gu Huaiyi, "I didn't expect that your daughter would be so concerned about the affairs of the academy."

"I'm sorry to make you laugh, sir. My daughter is always straightforward and does whatever she thinks of." Gu Huaiyi looked helpless and smiled, "Look, now I heard that she is tossing around with a pinyin dictionary again."

"Pinyin dictionary?" Gongsun Sheng immediately understood the key point in the words and asked Gu Yin, "Girl, what is a Pinyin dictionary?"

Gu Yin explained it and finally asked with an expectant look, "Mr. Gongsun, are you willing to help lead us to compile this dictionary?"

Gongsun Sheng had read countless books throughout his life and considered himself knowledgeable, but this was the first time he had heard the pinyin spoken by Gu Yin, as well as the numbers on the city wall yesterday.

But these were not what surprised him the most. He was more shocked by Gu Yin's selflessness and generosity.

If this pinyin is promoted, it will benefit all the readers in the world!

But Gu Yin didn't care at all about who took the lead in this matter, and didn't care at all whether the fame was divided up by others.

Gu Yin didn't know what Gongsun Sheng was thinking. She just wanted to trick him into finding another helper, especially the great scholar in front of her who was probably as good as ten of them!

Thinking back to when she went to her father to ask for people, only two people came. This was almost the end of her life.

"I am really envious that Lord Gu has given birth to such an amazing daughter!" Gongsun Sheng praised loudly.

After successfully tricking Gongsun Sheng into getting in the car, Gu Yin couldn't wait to take him to their office.

For convenience, they set up their office in the county government office.

"Everyone, look who I invited!" Gu Yin's true colors were revealed, and he proudly shouted to the three people who were bowing their heads at the table.

In addition to Shi Yuheng, there were two people in the room invited by Gu Huaiyi, Shao Boyuan and Yao Haoyu.

The three of them looked up when they heard the words. Shao Boyuan and Yao Haoyu were both scholars from the nearby county, so they naturally didn't know who the visitor was.

Shi Yuheng came out of the Imperial College. When he saw Gongsun Sheng appear here, he opened his eyes wide in disbelief. After he realized what was happening, he immediately pushed his chair away and walked out of his seat, bowing respectfully to him, "Student greets the dean."

Seeing that Shi Yuheng was very respectful to the visitor, the other two also followed suit and bowed.

"Dean, why are you here?" Shi Yuheng asked puzzledly.

Gongsun Sheng waved his hand and said, "Just call me sir. I am no longer the dean now."

"He's still the dean, but he's changed from the dean of the Imperial College to the dean of Ning County." Gu Yin interrupted with a smile.

The paper in Shao Boyuan's hand fell to the ground with a bang. Although he guessed that the person was not simple, he didn't expect him to be so complicated!

Yao Haoyu's expression wasn't much better. He stood there in a daze, looking as if he had just been struck by lightning.

How could he, a mere scholar, have the chance to meet the legendary dean of the Imperial College?

However, their shock was yet to come.

When Gu Yin introduced Gongsun Sheng's identity to the two and announced in public that the compilation of the pinyin dictionary would be led by him in the future, the two of them didn't know what expression to express on their faces.

My God, shouldn’t they go back to their hometown to check if there is smoke coming out of their ancestral graves?

Who are they to be able to work under Mr. Gongsun?

With the addition of Mr. Gongsun, Gu Yin felt that the burden on her shoulders suddenly became lighter.

The work on the pinyin dictionary is also progressing in an orderly manner.

Because of Gongsun Sheng's request, the Pinyin dictionary was changed from a simple literacy dictionary to a more complex dictionary that combines literacy and interpretation.

"This is too complicated for beginners." Everything here is written with a brush, which takes up too much paper, so Gu Yin originally took out the pinyin just to make it easier for beginners to recognize the characters.

However, Gongsun Sheng said, "We can publish two books. One will only include simple Chinese characters for students to learn from. The other will be more complex and can be used by all students."

What else could Gu Yin have said? Gongsun Sheng really cared about the scholars, and he was indeed a great scholar.

Time flies and it is February of the following year. The construction of the college has been completed, and only some finishing work remains.

And the only thing left for their pinyin dictionary is the final copying work.

It is worth mentioning that due to the addition of new content, the number of staff increased from four to ten.

That day, Shi Yuheng's followers came in excitedly and reported, "Sir, the master is here!"

Shi Yuheng asked excitedly, "Did you bring any books?"

The attendant nodded vigorously, "Yes! A whole long carriage is loaded with it!"

Gu Yin also heard it and said happily: "The court has finally sent the book!"

In this way, their college can start classes soon.

"The court sent books?" Gongsun Sheng asked doubtfully.

Gu Yin was stunned for a moment, how could she have forgotten about this...
