Baili Xian never expected Baili Ye to come.

And he picked such a slightly embarrassing time, it was about to be dinner, and he had already asked Ying Rong to go to Fengluan Palace with the packed folds.

He also deliberately asked the queen to wait for him, and also asked the queen to prepare some favorite dishes, Bai Li Ye obviously had nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, this time, I don't know how long it will take to talk before it can be dispersed, Bai Li Xian felt that this person was a little annoying for the first time.

Looking at Bai Li Xian's slightly disgusted eyes, Bai Li Ye looked around at himself, and searched for fragmentary memories in his mind a little, he has been quite safe recently, and he didn't provoke this eldest nephew!

"See the emperor, the minister has something to discuss with the emperor."

"Fourth Uncle doesn't have to be polite, just say it." Bai Li Xian endured his good temper and sat back in the chair.

Bai Li Ye didn't care about him, automatically ignored the disgust in his eyes, and said with a smile: "The minister wants to build a Mengxue again." ”

The bright light in Baili Xian's eyes flashed, and he became interested.

"What does the fourth uncle think?"

"There are only two Mongolian schools in Yicheng, and the total number of private places is only 100, and in order to send their children to Mongolian schools, people not only have to squat in line in advance, but also have to pay a large amount of tuition. An ordinary family, desperately working may only be able to provide for one child to study, but what about the rest of the children? ”

Baili Xian's eyebrows were slightly locked.

"There is a little maid in Weichen's house, because of the lack of money at home, she can only send a child to study, she can only be sent out to work, at a young age, she has suffered a lot, when Weichen met her, she was beaten by the main family and covered in blood, almost died."

"Our Qingqi has never stopped women from studying and engaging in business, and there are many female officials in the harem, but why can't the number of people and character never go up?"

"One is that all of them are concentrated on the children of official eunuchs, and the other is that they don't even have the money to go to Mongolia, so how can they talk about entering the country? Become a female officer? Serve your country? ”

"This year's harvest is not good, and many people are short of money and food, and they are unable to send their children to school."

Baili Xian was silent, with a solemn expression.

Baili Ye keeps up the good work.

"The emperor, the officials above the court, most of them are children of the family, and there are often marriages between the clans, and the interests have long intersected, and the roots are intertwined.

Baili Xian raised his eyes and quietly looked at his ambitious fourth uncle.

He knew that after this matter was done, it would be of great benefit to Qingqi in the future, so he started with Mengxue, helped the children of the poor family, and gradually stepped into the national school, and even fought against the officials of the family for many years to come.

It's going to be a long process.

A war without gunpowder.

"The treasury is not rich today." Baili Xian hesitated for a long time and said this.

Baili Ye smiled, ask for money, that's too easy to do, it's impossible for the grandsons in the household department to pay for it, so you have to pay it yourself, although it is a little distressing, but I think it is for the stability of Qingqi and the purge.

Alas, it hurts all at once.

"Your Majesty, you also have to fund Weichen a little, right?"

Bai Li Xian held his face with both hands, and smiled at Bai Li Ye harmlessly: "Fourth uncle, you do this thing, and the reputation is all yours, you don't have to pay some money, right?" ”

Baili Ye squinted his eyes, the little rabbit cub means that he doesn't want to pay any money, empty gloves white wolf?

"This is not a small amount, Your Majesty, you also know that the money from the General's Mansion has been used for disaster relief and comfort, and there are still a large number of martyrs' families under Weichen's hands to comfort, and the opening may be supported, but this follow-up support

……”

Bai Liye didn't understand what he said, and continued: "And this time Mengxue, Weichen only wants to accept the children of the poor family, so the admission fee of Mengxue will be reduced accordingly." ”

"What about the cost of the teacher?" Baili Xian was still holding his face with both hands: "Don't you want me to come out, right?" ”

He sighed, revealing a very embarrassed look: "The fourth uncle also knows that the grandsons in the household department are really iron roosters, and they take the account book to settle accounts with me every day, there is no money here, there is no money there, and the rules and regulations are really a headache for me, otherwise the fourth uncle will go and talk to them?" ”

"Weichen went alone, I'm afraid I won't be able to convince the public."

Baili Xian put down his hands, his expression was serious and rigorous: "With the prestige of the fourth uncle, the ...... of the household department"

"Your Majesty, this is choosing courtiers for your country." Bai Liye's expression was calm.

Baili Xian smiled: "I understand, I will answer the fourth uncle tomorrow." ”

Bai Li Ye also knew that he couldn't force it too hard, and he could get this answer because he had already calculated it before he came, and he knew that how much silver there was in the treasury now, and the people in the household department would definitely not give it, so when the time came, it would have to be paid by the little emperor himself, and as for how much, it was not within his consideration.

Mengxue, which is used to recruit children from poor families, does not cost too much silver.

For a Mengxue, Baili Ye will also be offered.

What's more, it's not that there is no tuition fee.

As for those gentlemen who came to teach, Bai Li Ye had to think about it, after all, his reputation in the future was his own, in case there were a few seedlings in Mengxue who entered the country, and then if he entered the court and became an official, it would be a big deal.

No matter how you calculate it, it is not a loss.

When Bai Li Ye went out of the palace, the sky was already dark.

Li Tong didn't wait for him, he had already eaten, and sat in the corridor outside in single clothes, Youchun stood behind her with a fan, and the master and servant were talking with each other.

It's just that I don't know if it's too hot, Li Tong seems very unenergetic, but he doesn't want to sleep.

Not long after Baili Ye left in the afternoon, Liu Luan'er came to her.

How so?

This time, she didn't bring a food box.

The moment Li Tong saw her, he had a bad premonition in his heart, up and down, his feet couldn't touch the ground, and he was very insecure.

Both of them tacitly retreated left and right, wandering around the general's mansion all the way, and finally unknowingly, they came to the abandoned courtyard.

The courtyard of the second lady.

The yard was still uncleaned, and the small pond was still covered with fallen leaves, and from a distance, it seemed that it was still tempting people to step on it.

Li Tong was a little apprehensive in his heart, not because he was afraid that Liu Luan'er would end up with her here, but because he was afraid that her purpose was actually to go to Baili Ye.

"You don't have to be so nervous." Liu Luan'er was the first to speak, and the dull atmosphere was a little unbearable.

There is no deep affection between the two of them, and it was just because they were under the same roof before, and there was no conflict of interest, and some maintenance on the surface still needed to be done.

Li Tong swallowed his saliva, knowing that as long as he opened his mouth, there was nothing he couldn't talk about.

"You don't want to kill me, do you?" She asked weakly.

Liu Luan'er laughed coquettishly, and didn't deny it: "I haven't done it for so long, what do you think?" ”

Li Tong patted his chest: "Actually, it's useless to kill me." ”

"Useful."

When these three words came out of Liu Luan'er's mouth lightly, Li Tong's heart that had just been put down suddenly hung up again, and he quickly took a step back to the side, raised his fist, blocked it in front of his chest, and said vigilantly: "Don't act rashly, I know a little kung fu!" It's a ferocious move! I even beat Baili Ye! ”

Liu Luan'er covered her mouth and laughed even more happily this time, laughing so much that Li Tong's little liver couldn't stop trembling.

"Originally, I killed you because you, Miss Li San, had never appeared in front of people. I've inquired, but the general hasn't actually seen you in person, so ......"

The words were not said thoroughly, but Li Tong understood it, and added for her very intimately: "So you originally wanted someone to replace me?" ”

"Yes." Liu Luan'er admitted very decisively: "But I didn't expect the Prime Minister to protect you tightly, and I didn't find a chance until you got on the wedding sedan chair." ”

Li Tong scratched his head: "Then you shouldn't be in a hurry to solve me on the sedan chair, why don't you wait for me to enter the cave room, I was alone at that time, so I can start." ”

Liu Luan'er shook her head: "I originally planned it like this, but Yu Curtain took it upon himself and ruined my plan." ”

Li Tong sighed: "The little girl is really breathless, love is really intellectual." ”

"It's me who overestimates her."

"So you're calling her a fool."

The two of them said in unison, then they were both stunned for a moment, and they looked at each other and laughed.

"Actually, I ......"

"Actually, I ......"

Still speaking in unison, Li Tong laughed innocently, and Liu Luan'er sighed lightly: "You say it first." ”

Li Tong scratched his head: "You go first, I'm not in a hurry." ”

Liu Luan'er seemed to hesitate, standing on the edge of the small pond and pacing around, her steps were very messy, and finally after a quarter of an hour of steps, she took a deep breath.

"Do you believe in an afterlife?"

Li Tong thought he had heard something strange for a while, and let out an "ah" sound, his eyes widened: "What did you say?" ”

Liu Luan'er gritted her teeth and said something else: "Or the previous life?" ”

Li Tong was a little confused for a while how to talk about metaphysics in a proper manner, she thought Liu Luan'er was joking, but judging from her unusually serious expression and eyes, what she asked was true.

She truly believes in a past and a present life.

What kind of weird development is this?

What strange things have happened to this girl?

Li Tong doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, and she has always felt that the reason why she crossed over to this place is because of some unknowable natural factor.

But there were indeed many people in ancient times who believed in gods, gods and ghosts, but if you really believe in it, it can be regarded as a belief at most.

"I've died once." Liu Luan'er seemed to have made a great determination.

Li Tong took a step back.

Liu Luan'er glanced at her: "It's death in the real sense." ”

"That'...... Then you ......" Li Tong took another step back, looked around at the desolate scenery around him, and suddenly shuddered: "It can't be the second lady, right?" ”

Liu Luan'er couldn't help but chuckle: "The second lady is the second lady, I am me, it's different." ”

"I know that when you heard me speak to the feather curtain, you should have guessed that the pastries I made before were all purposeful, they were aimed at the general, not against you, I wanted to kill you, and it was also for the general, everything was for him, in order to seize the country for him." Liu Luan'er took a step towards Li Tong and forced Li Tong to take a step back.

Li Tong scratched his head: "Help him win the country, is there any need to contact you to make pastries?" ”

"I love him, and I have to watch him by his side to know his movements, to be able to deal with the women who come to him with any purpose." Liu Luan'er's eyes gradually became cold, and she grabbed Li Tong's wrist.
