A cold wind gushed in, causing the candlelight in the lobby to sway. A dark-scarlet official uniform appeared in front of the door. Under the candlelight, the color of the deep-scarlet flashed like a flame that was dancing.

"Wei just came after the official business of the supervisor, but he didn't have time to go home to change his clothes. I hope you can forgive me." Wei Huaichao's sharp voice sounded in everyone's ears, like metal passing by on porcelain, which made people get goose bumps.

Everyone present wore regular home clothes to attend the cocktail party. Wei Huaichao's official uniform was particularly eye-catching, not to mention that among the people present, he had the highest official rank. Although Deng Huaisu was the Minister of Rites, he had the word "she". He was a low official and had a high position, but his official uniform was still light-scarlet.

Everyone stood up one after another, and many people stared at the deep-scared official uniform, with envy in their eyes. Wei Huaichao held everyone's expressions in his eyes, and burst into laughter proudly.

Yu Mingyang greeted the front and said, "Brother Wei has a high position and a powerful position and is working hard for state affairs. He is really a role model for us. Please ask."

Wei Huaichao said arrogantly, ignoring Yu Mingyang beside him, and walked towards Deng Huaisu directly. A hatred flashed in Yu Mingyang's eyes, and then smiled again, following him closely.

"Brother Deng, I will start before I can get to the party. You are so rude, you will have to be fined three drinks." Wei Huaichao said first and put himself in the position of the boss. Many people in the seat frowned secretly.

Wei Huaichao was arrogant and rude, and the more people of the "Ze Party" would not be led by this person. Deng Huaisu said calmly: "Brother Wei has always been aloof and does not want to become a clique with us. Deng thought that Brother Wei would not come again. As the time came, he would not wait."

Wei Huaichao's eyebrows twitched, and by treating everyone, he pretended not to hear this sentence. When he saw Jiang Anyi, Wei Huaichao laughed and said, "Anyi, don't you like these drinks like me? Why are you here too?" His eyes rolled, and he looked at Jiang Anyi standing in front of him. He immediately understood that this kid must be Jiang Anyi's concubine brother Li Shicheng, who jumped up and down the capital and was very active. He must have been from Jiang Anyi.

Jiang Anyi smiled and greeted him. Although he was just a sixth-rank Yuanwailang, neither Wei Huaichao nor Deng Huaisu dared to underestimate him. With Jiang Anyi's reputation in the scholars, the two of them could not catch up with him. What's more, the three-yuan and the top scholar who were only young, and the direct scholar of Chongwenguan, gradually took off the cixian with the word "Jiangnan". None of these hats is golden and something that ordinary people can't get in their dreams.

The most important thing is the holy family. In the eyes of ordinary people, Jiang Anyi was only praised by the emperor. Wei Huaichao, as the left supervisor of the Liyou, reported secret matters and received many secret reports from Jiang Anyi. He thought it was the sequelae of the Qing Dynasty's war of the land and mu of people. He was not without any jealousy towards this young Daming junior. He compiled the secret reports and submitted them to the emperor. After reading them, the emperor laughed them off, which made him glad that he had not said a few words.

When Qinzheng was watching the lanterns in the building, Wei Huaichao was with him. The words "strange skills and lewd skills" naturally came into his ears, and he was angry that he was not doing his job properly. However, in connection with the previous sentence, he had the care and helplessness of his elders for his children and nephews. Such a person, even if he had a higher position, he had to bow his head and make friends.

Wei Huaichao is known for his "telling the joke", while Deng Huaicu gives people a gentle and elegant image, comparing the two with wine, one with one and one with one mellow. The so-called radish and cabbage have their own preferences, and most of the "Ze Party" sitting are optimistic about Deng Huaicu. The gentle and humble gentleman style revealed by Deng Huaicu is the realm pursued by literati.

Jiang Anyi was originally not interested in the cliques, but when he was in Sha Su Country, he felt that he wanted to protect his family and protect his beloved things. He was weak by relying on the strength of one person, so he stood up with multiple legs and hugged him to keep warm. "The Party" naturally became the first choice.

It is common for scholars to form party members. They can form party members in the same family, fellow villager, and other relationships in the same year. Forming a party will lead to disputes between cliques. From the perspective of the king, they do not want to see the emergence of cliques. Therefore, parties such as "Fu Party" and "Shi Party" are only invisible, and no one will write a clear statement, at most, "A gentleman is friendly but not a party" to deal with it.

"Friends but not party" is Jiang Anyi's wish. What he wants is different from what the two people in front of him want. He does not plan to work together. He doesn't care about who can become the "Gang Party". However, both of them can see one thing, and this young man has no intention of competing for position.

The more you drink, the more the atmosphere becomes stronger. Jiang Anyi stopped the cup and said, "Brother Deng just talked about the academy. All the officials here came from the academy. Jiang had an idea and wanted to tell you."

Everyone stopped the cup and looked at Jiang Anyi. Jiang Anyi stood up and bowed first, then said, "Brother Deng just now told me about the meaning of giving back, which made Jiang deeply moved and inspired."

Deng Huaisu smiled, nodded, and picked up his beard. In fact, he didn't know what Jiang Anyi was going to say, but he would never prevent his image as a master in his wise bead.

"President Deng Shan once mentioned to Jiang that he wanted the poor students in the academy to get more funding and concentrate on their studies. Everyone knows that the subsidies given to the academy are limited. Apart from the salary of teachers, the chief minister subsidized the remaining money to the food, and some of the remaining money was supplemented to the poor students through chores."

Wei Huaichao felt deeply and sighed and recalled: "When Wei was studying, Fan Shanchang was in charge of the academy. He sold two acres of land at home to collect ten taels of silver. He went from Lizhou to Renzhou, and went thousands of miles away. Wei did not dare to stay in a restaurant. He only dared to provoke Taoist temples and live in a straw shed. Six steamed buns were divided into three meals and arrived at the academy. Fan Shanchang asked me to enter the academy and only collected two taels of silver. He asked me to help him in the Diantang, just to eat without spending money."

Unexpectedly, this young master Wei Zuojian was even more difficult than his own. Jiang Anyi felt aggrieved and listened to Wei Huaichao in his ears: "For two years, I have been studying hard in the academy and dared not return home. First, I have no money to return home, and second, I have no academic performance and how can I go home to see my family who worked hard to support me in school."

When he was moved, Wei Huaichao stretched out his sleeves to wipe his tears, and then said proudly: "Two years later, Wei returned to his hometown and won the second place in the second place in the next year. He stayed at the Censorate. It has been twenty-one years in a flash, but he still remembered the academy's grace for Wei. An Yi, you just said the right to repay the money. Could it be that you want to donate some silver to the academy? Even if you eat braised vegetables, Wei will pay it."

Most of the more than 60 people in the restaurant were cheering and responding, but a few of them were staring at the wine glass in front of them and silently. They also had to donate generously, but they also wanted to have something in their pockets.

Jiang Anyi smiled and said, "These are righteous, Jiang is very grateful. Let's finish Jiang's words. Although he is donating money to the academy, there is also a way to donate the money, and the family's background is good or bad, so we cannot generalize it."

"Jiang means to let a person take the lead, contact officials from academy, recruit children, gather the strength of everyone, and act according to their own abilities. No thousand taels or a lot of money. However, they do not refuse, do not force, and do not necessarily state the donor. After the money is collected, they will be recommended as principal, and the accounts will be announced every six months. The officials will know what they want."

"As for the matter, it is used to repay the academy. Everyone knows that the money is mainly used for poor families. As for the usage, everyone can express their opinions. For example, reward students who are ranked first in the monthly exam, subsidize students with family difficulties, purchase books, etc. We can recommend the mountain chief in the letter, and give the decision to Feng Shanzheng. If you have more money in the future, the academy cannot use it. You might as well expand to all prefectures and counties. Readers should do their best to cultivate the seeds of reading, and their vision may be long-term."

After hearing Jiang Anyi's words, everyone planned their own plans. This was a good way to gain fame and honor. They could also bring together the "Si Party" and make a lot of good relationships. The money was spent on cultivating the seeds of scholars, and the court was willing to see it, and maybe they would also fund one or two more.

Deng Huaisu immediately stood up and said, "This matter was caused by Deng. Deng should take the lead and he is willing to contribute to the academy."

Wei Huaichao was unhappy, but as the left magistrate of the Liberation Bureau, he was in trouble and was really too busy. After thinking about it, Wei Huaichao smiled and said, "Wei will do your old business and supervise this account for everyone, so that everyone's money will be ignored." His eyes met Deng Huaisu, and sparks flew everywhere.

Everyone recommended four people to manage their daily lives, but Jiang Anyi refused to do so, so naturally someone took over. Then there was a donation. Jiang Anyi donated 1,000 taels, which made everyone sigh. It was really awesome for people to be more angry than people. It was more valuable to have a young age, and it was simply not allowed to live.

After summarizing the numbers, more than 60 people actually donated 2,324 taels. Deng Huaisu was ambitious. He should know that there are more college students who serve as officials in other places. If they can receive donations, they should not be less than 5,000 taels of silver. This money can be enough to support four or five hundred poor students.

The party ended happily, and Wei Huaichao left first, and everyone came to see him off. Seeing the Wei Zuojian leaving in the sedan chair, Yu Mingyang sneered: "This Wei Zuojian has a loud thunder and a small rainfall, and it is only fifty taels to take action. Those who don't know really think he is honest and upright, haha."

"Mingyang, don't discuss right and wrong behind the scenes." Deng Huaisu said lightly.

Yu Mingyang said disapprovingly: "Brother Deng, you must talk to others. Wei Huaichao looks ugly and you are not allowed to say anything. Since he was appointed as the prison of the steward, he still covered it with him. I don't know that the newly acquired concubine gave him some money. He took hundreds of taels of silver at the jade store. Tsk, he was a fourth-rank official and had a salary of half a year."

Deng Huaisuqi said: "How did you know?"

"Didn't we drink when he took a concubine last time?" Yu Mingyang said: "Didn't I take my family with me? It happened that my wife was shopping in the store and recognized his concubine. Oh, why are you talking about poor disciples? I think the more poor children climbed the heights, the more ugly they looked at."

Deng Huaisu coughed repeatedly, Yu Mingyang woke up and said apologizing: "An Yi, I am not talking about you. Besides, compared to you, I have become a poor family."
