Chapter 061: Danger Brews
After a class, Zhilan felt that it was not as difficult as she imagined. The lady's every move is very elegant, and she can be called a model lady. Seeing that there were female students in the class who were napping, their eyes were straight and wandering, and they were whispering, she neither named nor reprimanded, but walked gently past the students with books in her hands as a reminder. The students are also very cooperative with Mr. Wang, and they will pay attention immediately at the slightest hint and will not overdo it. The teachers and students get along very well, and even the air in the classroom is filled with a loose and free atmosphere.
As soon as the gentleman said to rest, Zhan Qingqing on the side immediately sat next to Zhilan, dragged her arm and continued to check the family tree. Zhilan, who was helpless, had no choice but to glance at Qi Xuan for help, and Qi Xuan, who understood, stepped forward and pulled Zhan Qingqing and said, "Oh, don't ask, I can't ask anything if I ask again." You just want a sister and you don't have to be so outrageous, right? β
Zhan Qingqing pursed her lips and said aggrievedly: "You all have brothers, but I am the only one...... People say that one table is three thousand miles, but I don't even have a cousin......"
Qi Xuan rolled her eyes and said, "Wouldn't it be over for your aunt to give birth to a younger brother and sister for you?" β
Zhan Qingqing hurriedly put his index finger in front of his lips and "shhhh I don't know why, my aunt became angry when she mentioned this......"
Zhilan on the side saw her cautious appearance, and felt very funny, so she said: "Your aunt's ears aren't so long, can you hear what is said here?" β
Zhan Qingqing thought about it, so she put down her fingers embarrassedly, looking like a delicate girl, which made Zhilan and Qi Xuan laugh.
It is said that three women play a play, it seems that this is nature. The three little girls chatted together, and they could also make a stage, and soon Zhilan found out the basic situation of Zhan Qingqing's family. Although this Zhan Qingqing looks petite and cute, she is one year older than Zhilan. Her father, Zhan Wenbing, was the richest porcelain merchant in the Jiangnan area, and he heard that the business was so big that he went overseas. Although Zhan Wenbing's business is very large, he only has a daughter under his knees. For as long as Zhan Qingqing can remember, her mother Gu has not been in good health, and finally died when she was six years old. The Zhan family has a big business, and it is inconvenient for no woman to take care of the housework, so Zhan Wenbing accepted another concubine, one can take care of his daughter, and the other can preside over the affairs of the house. But for some reason, this concubine has never been able to give birth to a son and a half daughter for Zhan Wenbing.
Everyone was chatting happily, but the gentleman came in, and heard her say softly, "The class has begun, everyone go back to their seats and sit down." Everyone was still unsatisfied, but they could only reluctantly return to their respective places and start listening to the lecture.

In the afternoon, in a courtyard of a mansion in the capital, a maid sat on a small bench in front of the main house, basking in the sun and napping. At this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps from far and near outside the courtyard, so she looked up and saw that it was the butler who led two men and a girl to this direction.
The maid hurriedly stepped forward and said, "I'll talk about it later, the old man just fell asleep." β
When the butler heard this, he understood and was about to lead the people to retreat, but he heard a man in the house say, "Who is talking outside?" β
The housekeeper hurriedly replied: "Master, Li Gui and they are back, saying that they have something to report." β
"Tell him to come in and talk back."
"Yes." The butler led one of the men into the house. The maid also hurriedly entered the house to serve the lord and dress, and as soon as one foot entered the door, she heard the lord say, "Leave Li Gui, and you all go out." β
The maid hurriedly withdrew her foot, bowed her head, and withdrew with the butler. The two of them stood outside the door very bored, so they looked up and down at the girl who came with them in the courtyard. I saw the girl standing cramped and restless in the courtyard, and the bright and dazzling sunlight of the autumn afternoon shone on her, so that people could not see her face clearly. However, after a cursory glance at the figure, the maid and the butler glanced at each other in unison, and they both understood. This thin waist of the water snake that is not easy to hold is the one that their master likes the most. Thinking about it, this girl must be Li Gui, where did they find it and dedicated it to the master.
At this moment, the voice of the master in the house suddenly increased: "According to what you say, the Lin family really hides a master?" It's actually their little girl? Impossible! Outside the door, the two involuntarily turned their ears sideways into the house.
"Master, the little one has already been checked, it is the second miss of the Lin family. The little one followed their ship for many days, but the guards patrolled day and night, and the guards were very tight, but they never found out the news. Luckily, a woman made a big fuss on their boat before the news leaked. β
"It's a miracle. Well, it seems that it is a disaster for this woman to stay, so it is better to do it sooner. β
"Yes! Master, do you want to wait for them to return to Beijing before they do it? Orβ"
"Idiot! If you don't do it now, do you want to wait for them to come back? Don't you know that the capital is Lin Mubai's territory? β
"Uh-little mistake. Soβwill the lord send more people? β
The old man was silent for a while and did not speak. After a while, he added, "Naturally, people should send more. However, this matter must be done like an accident, and it must be seamless, and the Lin family must not be suspicious, otherwise it will startle the snake. β
"Yes!"
"Hmm. Don't leave these days, and take a good look at the matter. β
"Yes! The little one must do his best to do his best to do a good job of the master's errand! β
At this time, the two of them outside the door stood motionless like wooden stakes, staring at each other in a daze, not daring to say a word.

Zhilan had a very happy day at Qingfeng Academy. The gentleman here is not as old-fashioned as she imagined, the environment of the academy is so quiet and pleasant, and the two little finches Qi Xuan and Zhan Qingqing are chattering in her ears from time to time, she feels that this kind of life is really comfortable. Before she knew it, she had fallen in love with life in Hangzhou.
After going back, when Zhilan expressed her thoughts to her parents, Lin Mubai smiled and quipped: "Isn't the capital bad?" Lan'er left her hometown behind so quickly? β
Zhilan replied very seriously: "The capital is too dangerous, and people are careful in what they do, and they can't breathe. β
Hearing this, the smile on Lin Mubai's face suddenly froze, and then he sighed and said, "When there is really danger, there is no safe place anywhere. β
