Chapter 597 Child Prodigy arrives in Youzhou(2/2)
Xu Dong was delighted, and at the same time felt a little relieved. He knew that he had passed the test in front of Xi Yu.
Next, Xi Yu asked them to talk about how to meet Xu Dong. The three of them looked at me and I looked at you, but they didn't know how to speak.
Zhao Yun thought to himself: "It will be a bit troublesome to tell Xu Dong about the matter where he is at the official room, but if he doesn't say it, how should he answer Xi Yu's question?" He secretly looked at the other two and found that they were all embarrassed.
At this time, Xu Dong noticed the embarrassment of the three of them and understood their concerns in his heart.
He took a deep breath and decided to just talk about this matter by himself. So he took a step forward and said, "Sir, this is the case. We met me at the official's house."
Xi Yu frowned slightly and asked, "At the official's home? Is there any reason?"
Xu Dong sorted out his thoughts and said, "That's right. I have some things to deal with in the official's family. I happened to meet the three of them." Speaking of this, Xu Dong paused, looked at Zhao Yun and the others, and continued, "However, the specific situation in this is a bit complicated, I hope the Prime Minister will forgive me."
Zhao Yun and the others were relieved after hearing Xu Dong's words, and at the same time they admired Xu Dong's decisiveness and courage.
Xi Yu was silent for a moment, thinking about Xu Dong's words in his heart. A trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, but he quickly returned to calm and said, "Well, so that's it. Then why are you and the others coming to me this time? "
Xu Dong's heart tightened, knowing that Xi Yu was still testing them.
He secretly cheered himself up and said, "I heard that the Prime Minister is extremely wise and hopes to get the Prime Minister's guidance."
Xi Yu smiled and said, "Haha, then you are here in the right place."
Xi Yu looked at Xu Dong with a bright look and asked slowly: "Xu Dong, are you willing to teach at Youzhou College?" His tone was calm, but it was difficult to guess his true thoughts.
When Zhao Yun and the other two saw this, their faces showed a look of surprise. They widened their eyes and looked at each other, their eyes full of surprise and confusion.
Zhao Yun couldn't help but speak, "Ah? Youzhou College is teaching?" His voice was filled with a hint of confusion and his brows frowned, as if he was very surprised by this proposal.
Xu Dong also felt strange. He frowned slightly, looked at Xi Yu, and showed a look of confusion on his face, saying, "Sir, this... this really surprised me." A trace of confusion was revealed in his eyes, and he was obviously not prepared for this proposal.
Xi Yu smiled slightly and said calmly: "Xu Dong, Youzhou College needs talented people like you to teach students. Your knowledge and insights will definitely benefit the students a lot."
A trace of expectation flashed in his eyes, as if he had high hopes for Xu Dong.
Xu Dong lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then raised his head, looked at Xi Yu, and said seriously: "Sir, I will consider this matter again."
His expression seemed a little hesitant, weighing the pros and cons of this proposal.
Zhao Yun and the other two looked quietly from the side. Their eyes included concern for Xu Dong and a little confused about the future. They didn't know what changes this proposal would bring to them.
Xi Yu smiled slightly and said in a kind tone: "Xu Dong, there is no hurry to do this issue, you can think about it slowly." A kind of comfort and understanding was revealed in his eyes.
After hearing Xi Yu's words, Xu Dong felt a little relieved. He nodded and said, "Thank you for your understanding." A look of gratitude appeared on his face.
Then, Xi Yu looked at Wenxuan and the others and said, "Wenxuan, you two should go back to Youzhou College as soon as possible, after all, it has been too much time."
As soon as Wenxuan and Dongfang Hong returned to Youzhou College, they just walked into the yard and saw Lu Su coming up with an anxious look on his face.
Lu Su frowned and said anxiously: "Oh, you are back! You two teachers are not here recently, and everyone takes turns to attend classes, and they have all objections!" A trace of helplessness and distress appeared in his eyes.
Wenxuan and Dongfang Hong heard this and showed a look of guilt on their faces.
Wenxuan said apologetically: "I'm really sorry for everyone, thank you for your hard work."
Xu Dong sat in the guest room for a while, feeling a little bored, so he came to Xi Yu's study room and knocked on the door gently.
Xi Yu replied, "Come in." There was a hint of gentleness in his voice.
Xu Dong pushed open the door and walked into the study room. A hint of embarrassing smile appeared on his face and said, "Sir, I want to ask you to give me some books to read, otherwise I will feel particularly bored."
His eyes were a little expectant and a little embarrassed.
Xi Yu raised his head, looked at Xu Dong, smiled slightly, and a trace of understanding flashed in his eyes, and said, "So that's the case, reading is a good way to entertain."
He thought for a moment, then shouted to the outside of the door: "Come here!"
After a while, a servant walked in and said respectfully: "Sir, what are you asking?"
Xi Yu said: "Go and prepare some suitable books and send them to Mr. Xu's guest room."
The servant responded and stepped back.
Xu Dong looked at Xi Yu gratefully and said, "Thank you, Prime Minister, you are so good."
His face was filled with joy, and his eyes were filled with respect for Xi Yu.
Xi Yu waved his hand and said with a smile: "You don't have to be polite, just read with peace of mind."
His kind expression made Xu Dong feel particularly warm.
After Jia Xu left the temple, he wandered around the street leisurely, and he didn't know where he was going. That day, he passed by a shop and saw a notice of recruiting a friend posted at the door. Jia Xu's eyes lit up and he walked in.
The store owner was sitting behind the counter. When he saw Jia Xu walking in, he frowned, looked him up and down, showing a look of displeasure, and said, "You are so old, are you still here to apply for a job?"
Jia Xu smiled, showed a sincere face, and said, "Boss, don't look at me as old as I am, but I'm still tough, and there's absolutely no problem with working."
The store owner shook his head, hummed, and said, "We are not a place for elderly care, and at your age, I can't afford to take care of anything if you make any mistakes."
Jia Xu hurriedly said, "Boss, don't worry, I can ask for a little less wage, as long as I can have a place to settle down."
After hearing this, the store owner hesitated for a moment and thought to himself: What the old man said makes sense, and it is acceptable to give him less wages.
So he sighed and said, "Okay, then you can try it first, but if you can't do it well, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Jia Xu nodded repeatedly and said, "It must be certain, thank you for giving me this opportunity."
On the other side, Song Shuwen hurriedly returned to Xi Yu. His face was a little tired, but a hint of excitement appeared in his eyes.
When Xi Yu saw Song Shuwen coming back, he immediately met him, frowned slightly, and asked anxiously: "Doctor Song, what's going on?"
Song Shuwen took a deep breath, calmed his emotions a little, and then said with a smile: "Master Prime Minister, everything goes well."
A hint of relief appeared on Xi Yu's face, nodded, and said, "Very good, very good. Where is the person who was rescued?"
Song Shuwen's expression suddenly became a little confused. He frowned and said, "Sir, it's strange to say that the person who was rescued was particularly strange."
His eyes were full of confusion and curiosity.
After hearing this, Xi Yu frowned and asked, "Strange? How strange?" A hint of surprise appeared on his face.
Song Shuwen thought about it, then explained the process in detail, and then said: "I always feel that his words and deeds are unusual and elusive."
After hearing this, Xi Yu fell into deep thought. His eyes became deeper, as if he was thinking about something.
After a while, he slowly said, "Describe that person's appearance."
Song Shuwen frowned slightly, and recalled, "Sir, that person looks a little dazed..."
He paused, and a look of confusion appeared on his face.
Xi Yu listened to Song Shuwen's description intently, his eyes became deeper and his brows became tighter.
He interrupted, "What happened? This is really strange." Then, he lowered his head thoughtfully and muttered to himself, "Can it be..."
Song Shuwen couldn't help but feel confused when he saw Xi Yu's expression. He asked in confusion: "Sir, why are you so interested in this matter? I really can't understand."
Xi Yu raised his head, looked at Song Shuwen, and smiled.
Xi Yu looked at Song Shuwen and said slowly: "You go back first, I need to think about it."
His eyes were a little ethereal, as if he was looking into the distance.
Song Shuwen nodded and replied, "Yes, sir. Then I will step down first. If you have any needs, you can give me any instructions."
