After a pause, Bai Rong then said indifferently: "Therefore, in the name of Your Majesty, I have decided to punish Zhou Ling to go to the big temple on the mountain to observe and cultivate for three months, and Lord Zhou will work with me to help run the school and teach those new students who are about to come, and it will take effect today without delay." ”

When the words fell, Zhou Ling was stunned, and she came back to her senses in a trance, she was not locked in the cell that did not see the light of day, or was taken into the Criminal Justice Division to be punished, and her joy quickly turned pale.

"Thank you Mrs. Bai for your forgiveness." Lord Zhou thanked him with some excitement.

Because the punishment was carried out immediately, Lord Zhou took Zhou Ling back to the house in a hurry to pack up the salute, and Bai Rong, as the supervisor, also followed behind them, watching Zhou Ling and Lord Zhou's parting.

Zhou Ling poked her head out of the carriage, looked at Bai Rong and stopped, and finally mustered up the courage to say: "Mrs. Bai, this time it was all my momentary confusion, which hurt you and Your Majesty, thank you for giving me the opportunity." ”

Bai Rong smiled slightly, nodded, and didn't say anything.

Facing Zhou's father, Zhou Ling was teary-eyed and cried: "Daddy, three months later, you remember to come and pick me up." ”

Zhou's father loves his daughter and is quite reluctant.

He said earnestly: "Ling'er, in the past three months, Dad hopes that you can reflect on it, and you must not be resentful, otherwise it will be a big mistake in the future, and Dad will be old and can't always protect you." ”

sent Zhou Ling away, and the matter came to an end.

After retaining Bai Rong, Lord Zhou thanked him again: "Mrs. Bai, thank you really this time, if it weren't for your tolerance and generosity, the old man wouldn't know what else could be done to keep his beloved daughter." ”

Bai Rong shook his head: "You just need to remember that Your Majesty and I have clear rewards and punishments, and this time you will be lightly punished because of your sincerity and contributions to the court over the years. ”

"No, the minister will guarantee with his life, and he will definitely look at his beloved daughter in the future, and never let her make any more mistakes." Father Zhou resolutely assured.

In fact, he used to think that his daughter was too willful and arrogant, and wanted to send her to some Taoist temples, study houses and other places to cultivate and recuperate, but Zhou Ling never refused to go to those boring places.

This time, Bai Rong not only blamed them too much, but also just sent Zhou Ling to the big temple, and Lord Zhou suddenly didn't feel sorry for whether his daughter would suffer there, but felt that for Zhou Ling, this was already the best

The punishment was up.

If Zhou Ling can change her pampered personality because of this, Father Zhou will not regret sending her over at all.

Master Zhou then mentioned the matter of the school: "Mrs. Bai, the minister over there in the school originally intended to participate, this time Taifu, you ordered me to go and help together, and the minister will live up to his expectations and do his best." ”

"There's Lord Lao Zhou." Bai Rong said.

Back to the palace.

Gu Ziyuan was finishing drinking the medicine, his face was wrinkled with bitterness, Bai Rong smiled and stuffed the purchased osmanthus cake into his hand, although it was not made by her, Gu Ziyuan also accepted it.

Seeing her come back, Gu Ziyuan asked, "Why did you come back so quickly?" ”

Bai Rong truthfully told everything that had just happened.

After listening, Gu Ziyuan only nodded: "That's very good." ”

"You don't think I'm too soft-hearted?" Bai Rong also felt that he would be too emotional, and did not give the prisoner enough punishment to repent.

The reason why she wanted to go to the Zhou family was because on the premise of knowing that the head of the Zhou family was a clean official, she had already made other judgments in her heart, and it should not just be convicted and punished.

Gently holding her hand, Gu Ziyuan let her sit on the edge of the bed, and said in a low voice: "You can make such a verdict, but because I have no premise of being seriously injured, if something really happens to me, you probably won't let them go." ”

Then he opened the topic again: "But the host in the big temple is notoriously strict and rigid, and Zhou Ling went there for three months, and the hardships of copying scriptures every day were enough for her to eat, and this lesson was what she deserved." ”

Hearing him say this, thinking of Zhou Ling copying the scriptures and reading the text with a twisted face under the host's recitation, Bai Rong couldn't help but smile.

"The school will be built in a while, and I don't know how many people will come to study."

Gu Ziyuan said: "That must be to break the threshold, but you still need to set the threshold high, after all, the academy is different from other places, and it can't really accommodate any kind of person, and some bad embryos that need to be eliminated still need to be paid attention to." ”

After all, the capital is mixed, and I heard that the school teaches for free, and it is inevitable that some greedy villains will deliberately get in and make a fool of themselves in the name of learning, which will affect the atmosphere of other students and the school.

Wait until that time to speak out and restrain yourself, lest you be caught "free".

Braids, wanton rumors, ruining the reputation of the school.

"You're right, I'm going to write it down tonight." Bai Rong's eyes rolled, and she quickly pecked Gu Ziyuan's face: "This is a small reward." ”

Then he ran out with a smile on his face that was trivial, anyway, Gu Ziyuan couldn't get out of bed to catch her.

Half a month has passed in a blink of an eye, the school has been completed, and many students have come on the first day of school, and they were really almost stepped on the threshold, but fortunately, Bai Rong had already prepared, and let people build the threshold solidly.

As Gu Ziyuan expected, there were also some people from the three sects and nine streams who wanted to take the opportunity to come in and make trouble, but they had to retreat because of the rules engraved on the stone wall outside the door of the school.

In fact, the rules are not very tricky and mean, but they are by no means those wanderers who are hanging.

One day, after the class was over, some students stayed behind to discuss the articles in today's textbook.

Bai Rong walked from the backyard to the study, and saw that Master Zhou was reviewing the homework handed in by the students, and when he heard the movement on his side, Lord Zhou raised his head: "Mrs. Bai, when are you here?" The ministers didn't find out, it's really rude. ”

"Sit down." Bai Rong smiled and said: "Master Zhou, many students have said that you have taught well, and you have contributed a lot to the fact that the school can be run so smoothly." ”

Hearing this, Lord Zhou smiled and said: "Where, the minister has also done his part, if it weren't for the school proposed by Mrs. Bai, so that the children of the common people also have the opportunity to study, the imperial court would have to leave out many talented people." ”

Although he has been busy with work these days, whenever he sees the studious and enthusiastic faces, he is not tired, and he is very happy to be able to do the work of a teacher.

Bai Rong nodded in agreement: "Yes, these students are the future of the court and the country, and some of them, whether rich or poor, may one day become His Majesty's left arm and right arm for the benefit of the people." ”

Lord Zhou couldn't help but praise when he heard this: "Mrs. Bai, as a woman, you are outstanding in learning, and you have such a heart for the sake of Your Majesty and the people of the world, and the minister is ashamed of himself." ”

"As long as this school can continue to help more people who want to study, then there will be more and more people like me in the future, and the country will definitely become more and more prosperous."
