Zhong Jinxiu was taken away, and Shen Mingze didn't say much on the way, but he didn't send her back to the courtyard where she lived.

Instead, I found another place.

It was much more spacious, and there were maids and servants.

Zhong Jinxiu frowned slightly and said, "I don't live here." ”

Shen Mingze just glared at her slightly, and tried to say calmly: "Don't get me wrong, this is the treatment of you as the master of the academy." ”

"I haven't promised you yet."

"You'll say yes."

"Shen Mingze, you're getting more and more annoying..."

I was just too nice to you before.

Shen Mingze left, and after a while, the things that Zhong Jinxiu left in the place where he lived before were sent in.

ay

Sitting on the embroidery bed, Zhong Jinxiu felt that she had never been so depressed as she was today.

After a while, a woman came and said:

"Madame, what do you want to eat in the evening?" Slaves and maids do it. ”

Zhong Jinxiu glanced at her and didn't say anything.

"Madam, the slave maid is called Banniang, and it was the master who asked me to serve Madame."

Zhong Jinxiu looked at this lady, who was in her thirties, with slightly dark skin but a strong body.

And she doesn't have to deal with a slave.

She asked, "What else did he command you?" ”

Banniang smiled, and when she smiled, she showed two good-looking tiger teeth.

"The lord loves Mrs. Chong, and said that the slave and maid will listen to your orders in the future."

Zhong Jinxiu was angry in her heart, and only then did she eliminate three points.

"Let's go, let's go out to eat."

Banniang wanted to say something, but she didn't stop Madame, because the old man told Madame to do whatever she wanted.

The two went to the snack street, ate xiaolongbao, and came back to pack osmanthus cakes, Banniang originally thought that this lady would not get along well, but it was not like this, she found that Mrs. was very easy-going.

Of course, that's how she felt on her first day.

The next day, Zhong Jinxiu still went to the academy.

Met Bai Shengyi outside the gate of the academy, and he seemed to be waiting for her at the door.

"Mrs. Zhong, is what they said yesterday true?"

The eyes were slightly dark, and if you looked closely, her face was still a little pale.

Zhong Jinxiu's face was a little hurt, as if she owed him a few hundred taels of silver, and remembered that she was controlled by Shen Mingze, all because of him.

Before, because of her sister, she didn't say much about his rudeness.

But today, I can't help it,

"Bai Gongzi, who are you going to show this gesture to?"

"Huh?"

"I've always disliked people who don't know how to be rude, and you're doing it again and again, it's really disgusting."

"You ......"

Zhong Jinxiu raised her feet and entered the academy, and ten girls were waiting in the academy, looking at her with a somewhat restrained gaze, even if it was a big smug Xiong Shuzhen.

Classes are over.

Xiong Shuzhen came to the main hall to look for her and asked:

"Why are you lying to me?"

"What?"

"You are a princess, the wife of the uncle of the country, a relative of the emperor, why don't you say it? Is it because we want to experience life that they can deceive us? It's in vain that I trust you so much......"

Zhong Jinxiu asked, "Who told you?" ”

"Whoever told me that, you just say you are or you are not, right?"

"Yes..."

Since this is already the case, there is no need for her to deny it.

Just looked at Xiong Shuzhen's deceived eyes, and felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

Today's class, Xiong Shuzhen obviously didn't cooperate, but because of her 'identity', she didn't dare to make trouble, after class, Zhong Jinxiu went back, and the place where she lived was not far away, Zhong Jinxiu chose to walk back and eat something on the way.

Banniang followed, and Zhong Jinxiu asked her, "When did Shen Mingze tell me my identity?" ”

"It's... Madam, the slave and maid don't know, but the slave and maid know one thing, since your identity was revealed, there have been many people who have come to look for the master. ”

"What's the matter?"

"There have been locust plagues in Shandong and other places this year, and the old man is in the rich land south of the Yangtze River, so he naturally hopes that all merchants can take out the disaster relief money." She paused and said, "I heard from Governor Xiang, and all merchants don't want to say silver this time, but now it's different. ”

Zhong Jinxiu frowned slightly, he had been used?

"Madam, you are brilliant in learning, and you are the dignity of a princess, and there are many people who want to ask you to be their daughter's master. But they have no way out, so they can only go to the old man. ”

The main thing is that the gate of this mansion is not something that anyone can enter if they want to.

Zhong Jinxiu knows that what is beneficial to the country and the people, use it.

The next day, Zhong Jinxiu went to the academy again, and met many ladies, who were led by the Bai family to see Zhong Jinxiu, Zhong Jinxiu understood them one by one, and knew which salt merchant's family belonged to them.

Bai Siyan is now holding her pregnant belly, looking at Zhong Jinxiu, her heart is slightly sour, but she has to admit that her noble style is incomparable.

"Mrs. Shen, these ladies are here today to let their daughters enter our academy."

How could Zhong Jinxiu not know what Bai Siyan meant, and wanted to use her to raise the bar with Shen Mingze.

But in the face of righteousness, she is not a fool.

She picked up a teacup, took a sip of tea, and then said, "Not long ago, Shen... My cousin said that I would be enrolled in Fairview College to teach... I'm afraid I'm going to be kind to the Buddha, the ladies. ”

Bai Siyan paused slightly, and then said: "Lord Shen is really virtuous and does not avoid relatives." ”

Zhong Jinxiu glanced at Bai Siyan and said: "Although I have studied under Mrs. Liang, but I haven't been able to learn from Mrs. Liang, but I haven't been promoted by my cousin, if you can be a master, only my cousin, he is the champion of Chongde for ten years, and he is very knowledgeable, so that the scholars in the court are praised." ”

Bai Siyan naturally knows this, but after all, she is teaching women, and Lord Shen is not suitable.

Zhong Jinxiu knows that it is not suitable, and she is the most suitable person, but the silver will naturally not be cheap.

"Ladies, don't worry, although I am a woman, but there are a few talents on my body that can be handled, if you are willing to send your children, I am naturally willing to teach."

......

To send off the ladies, Zhong Jinxiu left Bai Siyan, she looked at Bai Siyan, no longer the patience she used to have, and her eyes were a little cold.

Bai Siyan, who watched it, felt a little pressure.

"Mrs. Shen, why are you looking at me like this?"

Zhong Jinxiu asked: "The tunes that the girls learned were leaked by you." ”

This is a statement, not a question.

Bai Siyan was surprised in her heart, how could she know?

"When you bring these people here today, are you unwilling to donate silver or the Bai family is unwilling to donate silver?"

Bai Siyan calmed down slightly and said, "Anyone can take out such a big amount of silver." But the ladies want their daughters to enter the Splendid Academy, so they have to come and beg you. Let's ......"

Without waiting for her to finish, Zhong Jinxiu snorted coldly and said:

"Please? I think you want to test me, what is my place in my cousin's heart? ”

Bai Siyan's eyes were slightly frightened, and the woman in front of her was like an emperor, slanting at the world, and understanding people's hearts, which made people panic and have to surrender.

"Mrs. Shen, I ......"

Zhong Jinxiu sighed lightly and said, "I am grateful to you for helping me that day, so I was invited by you to teach in the academy. As for the things that you have embarrassed me with every time, I will not pursue it, but once you get acquainted, I can tell you one thing, my cousin used to work in the Imperial City Division, he was murderous and ruthless, and he wanted to punish whom, or who he didn't like, there was no reason at all. ”

A fluttering sentence came out of her mouth, like a judgment made by the king of Hades, deciding life and death, which was shocking, and she couldn't help kneeling down and said, "I don't know..."

"If you toss like this, you will lose the opportunity to bargain with him." She paused, "We met once, and I'll only tell you these words. ”

Zhong Jinxiu left the academy after finishing his work, and after eating outside, he went back.

She doesn't usually have much pastime, and she is angry with Shen Mingze, and she doesn't pay attention to her new yard.

I walked around casually today, but I found that this yard is good, the yard is very large, pavilions, flower verandahs, swing cradles, everything.

Shen Mingze is a bastard, but he is very caring.

Salt Embassy

Ah Xiang was anxiously looking for Shen Mingze, saying that someone was leading the ladies to find Zhong Jinxiu today.

Shen Mingze just snorted, not worried.

"Master, aren't you afraid that Madame will disrupt your plans?"

"She won't."

"Why?"

Ah Xiang didn't know.

"No one can do it right under her nose and not be caught by her. "She has been a queen for ten years, and she may not even realize that her every move is out of the righteousness of the famous clan."

Ah Xiang waited for the master to say, but the master didn't.

......

The next day, Zhong Jinxiu went to the college step by step in the past few days, but three days later, the college where the girls studied changed places.

Just behind her residence, it was a large college.

But Zhong Jinxiu went over and saw that there were five more students inside, and after Zhong Jinxiu asked them to introduce themselves, he sat down.

Xiong Shuzhen said: "Master, I'm afraid that the new students can't understand, shouldn't you teach them separately?" She didn't wait for Zhong Jinxiu to speak, and then said, "Oh, do you want to ask their family how much silver they donated?" ”

Zhong Jinxiu flipped through the book, ignored her, and said, "I'll tell you about it today..."

Seeing that Zhong Jinxiu ignored him, Xiong Shuzhen got up angrily, patted the table and said, "Master, in your heart, are we just letting you negotiate and trade?" Is that why you came to teach us today? Coercing our parents with us? ”

Zhong Jinxiu shook his head, and Tankou said lightly: "You shouldn't ask." ”

Xiong Shuzhen was angry, got up angrily, and said, "I immediately quit this academy, and you and I will no longer have a master-apprentice relationship in the future." ”

Zhong Jinxiu smiled slightly and said: "Back then, my little brother was like you, he didn't study in class, so I tied him to a chair and didn't give anyone a solution." ”

"You can't."

"Yes, I can't, because you're not my brother."

Xiong Shuzhen snorted lightly and really left.

"Zhu Cuizhi, you go and persuade her to come back, if she doesn't come, don't come." Zhu Cuizhi also wanted to follow Xiong Shuzhen, but when she heard her say this, she was a little jealous in her heart, but she still said, "Yes, Master." ”
