Chapter Forty-Six: The Study Chief's Talk

"Dad, what do you think of the second brother going to teach?" Shen Man'er asked tentatively, Dad is sometimes very stubborn, she doesn't want to make Dad anxious all of a sudden.

"You let him be a teacher! How can our Shen family's children be a teacher, no, he must take the exam, even if it is just a clerical job in the Ministry of Rites, it is better than being a teacher. Shen resolutely disagreed with Shen Man'er's proposal, his son's talent was more than enough to be the crown prince's concubine, if it weren't for Yi'er's reluctance to take the exam three years ago, maybe he would have been on an errand in the court now.

"Dad, you listen to me first, I mean how about I help the third brother build an academy. In this way, not only does it follow the third brother's wishes, but it can also cultivate pillars for the imperial court, and it will not bury the third brother's talent, isn't this a double win. Shen Man'er said that although she had just started now, she had confidence in herself, and she believed that tonight's incident would definitely become a reality in the near future.

"It's... It is not so easy to run a academy, and besides, the Royal Academy has a long reputation in the capital. Even if our college is built, it will not necessarily recruit students. Shen Xiang analyzed, and what his daughter just said also made his heart move.

"Dad, in fact, many young people have big ambitions, but because of their poor family background, they have to give up. Our college not only has to recruit the children of the nobles in the capital, but also has to open cold classes, and implement different management policies for different classes. The academy studies for four hours a day, and the rest of the time is free. For students who can't afford tuition, we can set up work-study positions so that they can use their spare time to earn tuition through their own labor. ”

"In addition, we have a reward policy that gives monetary incentives to students who excel academically, are helpful, and have special contributions. And the better the performance, the higher the reward. Moreover, our college will pay special attention to the moral character of students, and for students with bad moral character, they will be expelled immediately. ”

"I can't think of three years, our college will definitely become the best college in the Great Jin Kingdom. After Shen Man'er finished saying her thoughts in one breath, she saw not only Shen Xiang, but even the second brother's eyes flashed with excitement.

"Sister, can the academy you mentioned really be realized?" Shen Yunyi said excitedly, this is a brand new model, if it is really realized, it will definitely become a legend.

"Second brother, as long as you tell me, are you willing to run such an academy? Shen Man'er looked at her second brother, as long as the second brother said she was willing, no matter how much it cost, she would work hard to do it.

"Of course I would, but my father was right, it wasn't an easy matter. Of course Shen Yunyi was willing, but he felt that it was not easy to achieve it. Let's not talk about where to find a good teacher, let's just say that the money invested will be countless.

"Dad, in fact, I came here today, I have another thing. At this point, I just want to talk to you. Shen Man'er thought that she came over tonight just to tell her father that she would go to Zhuangzi in the countryside to live for a few days and relax. But today, I suddenly wanted to say what was in my heart.

"Dad, I want to find a way to get rid of the prince, I don't want to marry him, and I don't want to enter the palace to be a queen. Shen Man'er said it, but found that her father's face was calm, and he didn't react at all.

"Dad, will you agree?" Shen Man'er was worried in her heart, she was afraid that her father would resolutely oppose it, this was not as simple as the second brother's reluctance to participate in the Autumn Festival.

"Actually, my father wanted to quit this family business a long time ago, but he was afraid that you would be sad, so he didn't dare to tell you. Dad also didn't approve of you marrying the prince, you were too simple before, and Dad knew that you wouldn't adapt to life in the palace at all. Last time, my father knew that there were already too many people staring at our prime minister's mansion in the court, and now that you are still the crown princess, my father is afraid that he will kill you. Man'er used to like the prince so much, how can you be now..."Shen Xiang wanted to speak and stopped, he didn't know if his daughter had seriously considered it.

"Dad, the last time I fell into the water, I suspected that Wang Yueyin had bad intentions, and now her actions are very clear, that is, she has good intentions towards me. When I went to the lake today, she deliberately targeted me. And at the last palace banquet, Xuanyuan Hao also designed to frame me. I suspect that they are all aimed at the crown prince, starting with me. Our prime minister's mansion is obviously the prince's faction in the court, and now that the prince has not ascended to the throne and is still young, our prime minister's mansion will definitely become the target of public criticism. And I really don't like this kind of life, I used to be young and ignorant, and I thought I liked the prince. But after the prince came back this time, I found that I didn't have a relationship with the prince at all, he was just a big brother next door in my heart, and I really didn't want to marry the prince. Shen Man'er said that she had no feelings for the prince before, and felt that it was okay to withdraw from the marriage sooner or later. Now she doesn't have a good impression of the prince, she just wants to end the relationship between the two as soon as possible.

"However, how can it be easy to get the royal family to withdraw from the marriage. If you don't get it right, it will be full of disaster. "Shen Xiang is embarrassed, he has also considered it before, unless the royal family takes the initiative to propose it, if the Prime Minister proposes it, it will be a great disrespect to the royal family, and then the Prime Minister's Mansion may be in trouble.

"Dad, we can only take one step at a time. At this time, the matter of the second brother is the most important. In addition, I plan to cooperate with the third brother to do business, and if nothing else, it will open in half a month. When the time comes, the eldest brother will join the army, the second brother will run the academy, and the third brother and I will be in business, and our prime minister will have the capital to fight with the royal family. ”

"You and the third brother are going to go into business? Recently, your third brother has been mysterious, leaving early and returning late, so he can't be preparing for the restaurant. You're hiding it from your father, huh. Shen Man'er looked at her father's child-like appearance, as if she saw the cute father when she just wore it, and knew that her father had opened a knot in his heart, and his mood was miraculously better.

"Dad, you're the best. Aren't my third brother and I afraid that you will worry about us, and we want to tell you when it opens, give you a surprise, and we plan to ask you to cut the ribbon for us. Hey. Shen Man'er smiled and stepped forward to rub her father's shoulder.

"How's it going, Dad, are you comfortable? Shen Man'er asked happily.

"Hmph, I thought I wouldn't be angry just by rubbing my shoulders. The next time I see that stinky boy in the third child, I will definitely clean him up. Shen Xiang also said happily, this time is the happiest tonight.

"Okay, next time I see the third brother, I'll clean him up with you. By the way, Dad, don't we have a Zhuangzi outside Beijing, I want to go to Zhuangzi to live for a few days. Shen Man'er almost forgot her purpose tonight, she didn't go to the village just to relax, she was going to study the recipes of the restaurant.

"It's okay, it's just that the emperor gave an edict this morning, saying that on the fifteenth day of next month, he will organize all the young ladies and sons to go to the Huizhou Royal Palace for a spring outing, and you and the third child will also go. Today is almost the end of the month, so you can only stay in Zhuangzi for ten days at most, and you have to come back to prepare. "Thinking of what the emperor said this morning, the emperor plans to let the prince get to know all the children in the capital as soon as possible, and Man'er is still the future princess, so she must participate.

"That's not to see the prince again, can I not go. Shen Man'er thought of the unhappy parting with the prince today, and she was depressed, thinking that she would stay together for so long, and she was even more depressed.

"How can you not participate, the prince is the person in charge this time. The third child can not go, it just happens that the restaurant opens, but you have to go. And if you have the opportunity, you can also ask the prince in person if he is willing to break the marriage. Shen Man'er couldn't, so she had to agree, thinking that her goal tonight had been achieved, so she left time for her father and second brother, and asked them to consider their proposal and go back to Yumange.
