Datang: My apprentice is Princess Changle

Chapter 280 Isn't this a joke?

Chapter 2 Isn't this a joke?

"What did you say?"

Chang Sun Chong was having dinner and drinking soup in a house in Youzhou County, when he heard the report from his subordinates, he sprayed it immediately.

"Master, are you okay?"

"May I ask you, what are you talking about? Kong, Mr. Kong, who became the director of Youzhou Library? Is this true? Are you sure? Are you really kidding me?"

Chang Sun Chong couldn't believe it at all!
Who is Kong Yingda?

Those are the descendants of Saint Kong!
That is the signature of the contemporary Kong family!
Talented, famous, how could such a person come to Youzhou to be the director of a library?
Isn't this a joke?

If Kong Yingda really wanted to do something, wouldn't he go to Chang'an?
If Kong Yingda really went to Chang'an, the emperor would definitely praise him highly!

High-ranking officials and generous salaries are not a problem!

The steward replied helplessly: "Young master, it's absolutely true. On the first floor of Youzhou Library, there is a staff introduction picture posted!"

"It lists the identities of the honorary curator, honorary deputy curator, and curator!"

"The honorary curator is King Youzhou, the honorary deputy curator is Zhang Cishi, and the curator is Kong Yingda!"

"Master, tell me, if it wasn't for that Mr. Kong, how could the King of Youzhou let another man named Kong Yingda be the director of the library?"

Chang Sun Chong wiped his face and couldn't help asking: "So, this person is really Mr. Kong from the Kong family? Kong Yingda from the Kong family?"

"Young Master, I'm afraid it's absolutely true!"

"But how is that possible! That's the Kong family! That's the descendant of the sage Kong! Why did you come to Youzhou to be the director of a library?"

Although the name of the library is a bit novel, isn't it a new name like a library?
In such a place, even if you are a curator by name, you are still a person who manages the library!
If the Kong family really liked this kind of work, why didn't they go to Chang'an?Why not go to Jiangnan?
Even though Youzhou has developed economically over the past year, the literary style in the Northland has not been very prosperous. That's why this place is called a wild land!
How could such a place attract Mr. Kong?

Changsun Chong was really puzzled.

He is different from his younger brother. Although he has someone else write poems and songs for him, he is not really illiterate, at most he has little talent.

But even if you don't have much talent, as long as you are a scholar who can read and write, it is impossible not to know the Kong family!
It is even more impossible not to know Kong Yingda!

"Young master, maybe it's just a name." The steward saw that the young master seemed to have been greatly shocked. Although he didn't understand much, he hurriedly persuaded him.

This persuasion is the same as no persuasion!

Chang Sun Chong still couldn't accept it. He even felt that since Youzhou was able to invite Kong Yingda, such absurd things could happen, could he also look forward to recovering his reputation in the literary world?

"Hey, tell me, if I compete for the position of the deputy curator, what chance do you think my young master has?"

Steward: "..."

No, you'd better go to bed.

Although he really wanted to answer the young master like this, the steward was still not brave enough to dare to ridicule his master.

He cautiously replied: "Why don't you write back to the master and ask the master to advise you?"

Chang Sun Chong was silent for a moment.

Just when the steward thought that his words had hit the young master.

The next moment, Chang Sun Chong nodded: "Isn't that impossible?"

"Go and prepare pen, ink, paper and inkstone. I want to write a letter to my father!"

No, Eldest Young Master, are you really going to ask the Master about this matter?
The manager can imagine what Changsun Wuji's expression will be when he reads the letter.

However, it takes a long time to write back and receive a reply from the master.

With this time, maybe the Eldest Young Master will wake up himself.

So the steward said yes and went to prepare.

Changsun Chong picked up his pen and wrote a letter to Changsun Wuji eloquently.

It was quite thick, with more than a dozen sheets of paper, and a thick letter. After it was sealed, it was handed over to the steward, and the steward asked the steward to take it back to his father in his own caravan in Chang'an.

After this matter was done, Chang Sun Chong suddenly asked again: "By the way, Ahu and the others should be back soon, right?"

Ahu doesn't have a surname, so he is called Ahu.

He is an orphan adopted by the eldest grandson's family. He was raised since childhood and is loyal to the eldest grandson's family.

Together with several other people, they are collectively called the Four Beasts.

The eldest grandson rushed to Youzhou, not only bringing the caravan, but also the four beasts were given to the eldest son by the eldest grandson Wuji.

Some time ago, Chang Sun Chong heard that the garment factory he cooperated with had a temporary shortage of wool, so he asked Ah Hu to take a team and follow him to the grassland.

I plan to collect a batch of wool from the grassland.

Whether it is given as a gift to a partner, or kept as a resource for yourself, it is excellent.

Estimate the time, about half a month later, Ah Hu should bring the team back to Youzhou County.

Ah Hu usually also communicates with the steward, using Feige to send letters.

When the steward heard the master's question, he replied: "Young master, the last time I heard from Ahu was five days ago. Ahu said that he would be able to return to Youzhou in less than 20 days. Calculated, it happened to be Come back in half a month."

"Half a month, it's too late."

"I also plan to choose good wool, and ask someone to make some woolen sweaters for my family and send them back. If I come back in half a month, I will have time."

Chang Sun Chong said in a low voice.

"Ahu, don't delay too much on the road."

"Ah Choo!" On the grassland, a caravan was resting in place. The leader was a young man, at most 20 years old, but with a sturdy figure and looked very fierce. He was about to drink water when he suddenly sneezed.

The people next to him laughed at him: "Brother Hu, is there a woman talking about you?"

"Maybe really." Ah Hu laughed, and said proudly: "After all, you, Brother Hu, and I are very attractive to women!"

"Brother Hu, when you go back this time, you are afraid that you will get a big reward again, so you don't think about marrying a wife? I think Youzhou is a good place, and it's not bad to start a family there."

What this person said really made Ah Hu hesitate.

At his age, it should be time for him to marry a wife.

Although he is a slave of the Changsun family, he is a relatively respectable slave.

It is not impossible to marry a wife, even a local commoner girl.

After all, he has saved hundreds of taels of silver now, and this is all done in the right way, because of his meritorious service, he was rewarded by the young master.

A few hundred taels of silver, if you buy land in Youzhou, you can buy hundreds of acres of land!
Even if they are not good citizens, with such financial resources, they can still attract some people.

And what my companion said was good, the more I stay in Youzhou, the more I like it!

This place is a place for long-term living!
Judging from the meaning of the young master, I'm afraid he also wants to stay in Youzhou Governor. If he wants to marry a daughter-in-law here, isn't it impossible?

Just as he was thinking, he suddenly heard the person beside him lower his voice and say: "Brother Hu, look over there."
