The Red Chamber: My Stunning Confidante with a Variety of Styles

The news of the court meeting spread like wildfire, and soon spread throughout the entire capital.

The people in the capital knew of Kajar's "pursuit" of Jia Jue, and this became a topic they talked about after dinner.

Those with good deeds even gave Jia Jue the nickname "Public Son-in-law". After all, Jia Jue has married two princesses so far. Including this Sassanian princess, he naturally deserves this title. .

As for whether to "marry far away" to Sassanid, everyone is divided again.

The dignitaries thought that Jia Jue's going would not only bring considerable benefits to the court, but also bring long-term stability to the big man, just like Princess Wencheng in the past.

Ordinary people naturally didn't want Jia Jue to go. Jia Jue was a god who came down to earth, and no amount of gold or silver could be exchanged for it. With him, the big man could have a smooth weather, and the common people could have no worries about food and clothing.

While public opinion was arguing endlessly, Jia Jue didn't pay attention to this matter at all. He welcomed a special guest at home:

Yan Shenggong, Kong Na.

For his arrival, the Jia family gave the highest etiquette and treatment, Jia's mother went out to greet him, Jia Zheng even performed the disciple ceremony, Jia Baoyu, Jia Huan and the others were extremely humble, and they were not even qualified to talk to him.

To them, Kong Na also treated each other with courtesy, but this courtesy seemed a little alienated.

But for Jia Jue, Kong Na was extremely warm. When he saw him, he took Jia Jue's hand and called out "Ziyu" one by one, with a very friendly attitude.

Seeing this, Jia Baoyu and Jia Huan were dumbfounded. They were of the same level as Jia Jue, but the difference in status was too great.

No one took their thoughts seriously. After greeting Jia Zheng and Jia Mu, Kong Na left them alone and came to the study alone with Jia Jue.

After observing and playing with the calligraphy, paintings and antiques in Jia Jue's study, Kong Na couldn't help asking:

"Ziyu, about this elementary school..."

He devoted himself to the cause of education, so naturally he was extremely concerned about this matter.

"Please explain to Kong Lao, what is the difficulty in this elementary school?" Jia Jue asked him.

Conner immediately narrated the matter.

Overall, all the conundrums boil down to one word: money.

The establishment of elementary schools requires land, school buildings, and teachers, all of which require money.

Kong Na himself has no money, so he needs to use his prestige and connections to mobilize local gentry and wealthy businessmen to contribute money and efforts to establish Mengxue.

However, Lingnan was not a rich place, so his method would not work, so he wanted to ask the court for money or policy assistance.

Jia Jue thought for a moment when he heard the words: "Old Kong, the imperial treasury is empty at this time, and within a year or so, I'm afraid it will be powerless."

After the world experienced the plague of locusts, the imperial treasury has always been empty. Although many effective measures he proposed have been taken, it will take some time to see results.

"Hey, I also know the difficulties of the court, but I just don't know if the court gives some benefits to the gentry and wealthy businessmen, will it work?" Kong Na sighed.

Jia Jue still shook his head: "Elder Kong should know that the so-called businessman chasing profit is useless if there is no profit to be made."

A look of disappointment flashed across Kong Na's face. He also knew the truth that elementary school was just to enlighten children and teach basic knowledge. They didn't charge money, and there was no way to bring benefits. That's why those gentry and businessmen were unmoved. .

"The imperial court can't count on it, so what should we do?"

Jia Jue pondered for a moment when he heard the words, and then suddenly said: "This matter is for the benefit of the country and the people, and it must not be stopped by external forces. Mr. Kong, I have an idea, maybe I can try it."

"Please tell me, Ziyu." Kong Na's eyes lit up,
Jia Jue said in a deep voice, "I personally funded to help Mr. Kong complete this matter."

what?
Kong Na exclaimed when he heard the words, and then quickly shook his head: "This is absolutely impossible, there is absolutely no reason for Ziyu to pay for it herself!"

Jia Jue laughed and said, "Don't be impatient, Mr. Kong. I'm also a scholar. How can I ignore such things when I encounter them?"

As he spoke, he took out a purse from his pocket and handed it to Kong Na:
"Here is 20 taels of silver, Mr. Kong will take it, and there will be more in the future."

Hearing the number of [-], Kong Na couldn't help but tremble. For ordinary people, this is an astronomical figure. Even for the Jia family, it may be worthless.

He quickly declined: "I can't accept it, it's too much."

Jia Jue smiled, and stuffed the purse into his hand: "Mr. Kong just took it. I'm usually in the capital, and I can't spend a few coins. Why don't I use it to do something that benefits the country and the people."

Kong Na opened his mouth and wanted to decline again, but Jia Jue interrupted him again:
"Elder Kong doesn't need to refuse anymore. Could it be that in the eyes of Elder Kong, I am the one who is greedy for money? Can't bear to part with this money?"

Kong Na was speechless, he took a deep look at Jia Jue, stood up, and gave Jia Jue a deep bow:
"On behalf of Mengtong, the youngest child in the world, I thank Ziyu for his generosity!"

Jia Jue quickly helped him up: "Mr. Kong, hurry up and forgive me. Don't bother me. I just paid some money, but Mr. Kong is the one who is running around. It is Mr. Kong who has worked hard, not Mr. Kong." I, I can't be such a big gift."

"How can a person who cares about Mengtong like Ziyu not be treated like this?" Kong Na sighed.

Jia Jue said with a smile: "Mr. Kong, stop boasting. If you boast again, my tail will go up to the sky."

Kong Na and Jia Jue looked at each other, and they laughed together.

Afterwards, the two discussed many things about learning, and finally, Kong Na said:
"Ziyu, I have decided that all Mengxue will be named: Shuangyu Mengxue."

Shuangyu is for Jue.This is to name all the established Mengxue after Jia Jue.

Naturally, Jia Jue quickly declined, but in the end he was unable to compete with Kong Na, so the matter was decided.

After discussing the matter of the elementary school, it was getting late, and Jia Jue personally sent Kong Na out of the house.

Seeing his leaving back, Jia Jue's eyes flashed with brilliance. To him, 20 taels of silver was nothing more than a small amount of money, and after the establishment of those elementary schools, his name would spread throughout Lingnan in an instant.

This will be a huge emotional value.

Yes, all that Jia Jue did was for fame and emotional value.

To him, silver is nothing but waste, and emotional value is the most important confidence.Especially, when he is about to face the unknown "too illusory realm", the emotional value is the most important.

However, just when he was about to turn around and go back to the mansion, he saw a maniac standing not far away, wearing a quail suit,
Lame Taoist!
