In Anxi Palace, the curtain hangs low, blocking the dazzling afternoon sun.

On the gold-carved and jade-decorated stepping bed, Chen Jianjun turned over from Jin Guifei and couldn't help wheezing. Jin Guifei took the handkerchief next to the pillow, wiped the sweat on Chen Jianjun's forehead, and stopped him from behind into her arms, hugging each other and sleeping.

The two of them hadn't been like this for a long time, and the flesh was close to the flesh. Being able to hug each other like this, it seems that all the estrangement and suspicion have disappeared.

Chen Jianjun turned his back to Jin Guifei and pressed against her soft chest, feeling very ironed.

In this way, without looking back, I couldn't see the lines at the corners of her eyes, the gray hair on her sideburns, her sunken cheeks, and only felt her body temperature, as if I had returned to the time when he was able to be willful, wild and amusing by her side.

It's nice to be young. Those estrangements and suspicions are brought about by age. If you don't have to be eroded by aging and death, there won't be so much pain.

Unexpectedly, this rejuvenation pill does have the effect of regaining youth. At the beginning, when Jin Guifei persuaded Chen Jianjun to take it, Chen Jianjun was still very impatient, and said that the pill refined by Li Tianshi, who had no name, how good could it be?

Jin Guifei said: "This recipe was not concocted by Li Tianshi, but he spent a lot of effort and used the ancient recipe found by many disciples and grandchildren, and he just refined it according to the recipe." Anyway, His Majesty also took the pill a while ago, so it doesn't hurt to try this one again. The concubine has been serving for more than half a month, how effective it is, hasn't Your Majesty already seen it? ”

In the past half a month, Jin Guifei has indeed been in good spirits, and the most rare thing is that her mood has also improved a lot, and she no longer complains and is angry at every turn, which makes Chen Jianjun feel more relaxed.

Maybe you can try it?

Seeing that Chen Jianjun was slightly loosened, Jin Guifei immediately presented the Rejuvenation Pill that had been prepared a long time ago. Chen Jianjun, as a man, took a slightly different pill from Jin Guifei. The Dan in Jin Guifei's suit is bright red, the size of a little finger. The pill that Chen Jianjun was taking was still shining golden in red, as big as an index finger.

The service pill should be carried out at noon when the yang energy is at its strongest, so Chen Jianjun has gone to Anxi Palace to eat at noon every day in the past few days.

In the first two or three days, Chen Jianjun didn't feel anything special, he just felt that his stomach was warm. After three days, I started to feel a noticeable increase in energy. After taking it again, I only felt that there was a kind of power in my body that penetrated from the inside to the outside, and I changed the lazy appearance some time ago.

Chen Jianjun still remembers that Zhang Weizhao said before that there is no rejuvenating medicine in this world, and using health prescriptions to maintain can only delay people's aging at most. However, this rejuvenation pill is clearly to give people a feeling of returning to youth. At first, Chen Jianjun was still a little vigilant, and planned to abandon it as soon as there were any bad signs. As a result, after taking it for about ten days, in addition to feeling better and better, there was no discomfort, so I gradually let down my guard.

The world is so big, and there are so many ways to cultivate, maybe it's just that Zhang Weizhao's path is different from Li Tianshi's, so there will be such a difference.

Chen Jianjun and Jin Guifei took the Rejuvenation Pill together, and both of them felt that they were refreshed, and seeing that the other party was also full of energy, they naturally had desires.

This thunder stirred the earth, and the taste was incomparably sweet. Let Jin Guifei sigh, if only she had found a prescription earlier, it would have been good if she had started taking the pill earlier. If it was ten years ago, maybe he could still give birth to a man and a half girl, at that time, who would be in the harem, no, looking at Dayan, which woman would dare to compete with him?

But what if you don't have children? Even now, I can't imagine that any woman would dare to shake her position.

Busy and busy, trivial things continued, and on the day of the beginning of winter, the school was officially listed.

The school was named "Shochiku Girls' School". The name was finalized after the master and apprentice discussed it for a long time. The name "Shochiku" is based on the hope that the children in the school will be as resilient as Shochiku and live well in good times and bad. Moreover, these two words are easy to recognize and remember, which is in line with the purpose of civilian schools.

The plaque of the school is inscribed by Zhang Rongkun, and the handwriting is vigorous and imposing. There was no lively ceremony when the plaque was listed, but a firecracker was set off, and the teachers and students got together for a good meal.

Before it was listed, it was home to eight children, ranging from five to twelve years old. Some were taken by their parents and secretly put in the doorway, and some were picked up and sent here by well-wishers who knew about it.

Some of the children came with knotted hair, lice on their bodies, and frostbite on their hands and feet. Zhang Weizhao and the women who took care of the children's daily life washed the children from head to toe, burned off the old clothes, replaced them with new ones from the inside out, and used special ointment to condition their hands and feet.

That's a lot of work. Fortunately, these colleagues are very capable, which makes Zhang Weizhao worry a lot.

Especially the two retired palace maids recommended to her by the Queen Mother, one surnamed Li and the other surnamed Qiu, in addition to excellent needlework and thorough etiquette, they are also particularly responsible. Zhang Weizhao plans to wait for the school to be on the right track, and choose one of them to lead the school's affairs, so that she can take a step forward to continue practicing medicine, and then use the proceeds from practicing medicine to support the school's operation. No, running a school is very expensive, especially if you want to provide a quality of life and education for your children.

On this day, the teachers were taking their children to class, and Zhang Weizhao was accounting in his office, when there was a sudden noise at the door.

Zhang Weizhao put down his pen and walked to the door to look, only to see an eleven or twelve-year-old girl desperately holding the little stone lion at the door and not letting go, while a middle-aged man was beating and scolding her on the side, trying to pull her away.

The man said, "What school do you want to go to as a girl?" It's good not to stay at home to do laundry, cook, and take younger siblings, but to come to school. Did you go to school? Are you able to show off talent or lift people? Can you glorify your ancestors and help your family? Come back with me! ”

The girl refused to leave no matter what: "Second uncle, please!" Just let me go to school here! When I learn my skills well and can make money, I will honor you and my aunt! Besides, if I go to school here, I don't have to worry about clothes and food, so I can save money for my younger brother. ”

"Don't coax me with that! You were only four years old when your father died, you couldn't do any work, you have been eating idle food for so many years, and now I have raised you to such a big age, you don't say that you work hard to repay me, but you run out with all your heart. You think, my wings are stiff, I can't control you, can I? Hurry up and let me go home, don't let Lao Tzu do it. Otherwise, if I go back today, I won't whip you with a whip! ”

When the girl heard this, she didn't dare to let go, and cried even more sadly. The man was anxious when he heard this, and he raised his hand and wanted to hit someone.

Zhang Weizhao crossed the threshold at this time and said to the man: "If you have something to say, don't beat the child." ”

The man was an ignorant ordinary citizen, and he saw that a girl dressed as a Taoist priest came out to speak, and he didn't know who this person was, so he wanted to rush out, "Can you handle it?" But seeing that Zhang Weizhao was very impressive, he didn't dare to be too presumptuous, and only said: "My own children are disciplined by themselves, and you monks still don't have to pay attention to it." ”

"I'm in charge of this school. It's good that this kid wants to go to school. Since you are the child's uncle, why should you fulfill her? ”

At this time, Qi Ruren and Huang's sister-in-law, who had just finished class, also came to the door, saw this scene, and said to the man: "Yes, we can eat here, and we can also teach her embroidery and cooking." If you learn well, you will be a cook and embroiderer outside in the future, and you will naturally be able to honor you when you earn money. ”

"I can't control her now, and I still expect her to honor me in the future? She's a big ghost, and she won't listen to me when she has the ability, so where will I find someone in the future? She is now coming to school, eating well and living well, and she is naturally willing. But no one looks at the three little ones in my family, and my mother-in-law takes care of the children and serves her husband and mother-in-law, where can she take care of it? Can you buy me another man? This man did not hide his little abacus at all.

"Since you are her uncle and her father are brothers, how can you call his daughter a maid?" Qi Ruren is a decent person, and he is very unaccustomed to what this man does.

"I raised her so much, why can't I call her? Isn't my money blown by the wind in the field, and isn't it her right to give her food, drink, and clothing, and let her do some work for the house? ”

"All you gave me was leftovers, and I was wearing old clothes. Beating and scolding all day long, I don't want to be in your house anymore. This girl was originally quite articulate, and when she saw that there were people around her, she had the courage to cry the truth.

"You're still stubborn, aren't you?" The man was so angry that he kicked the girl on the thigh, and the girl screamed and curled up on the ground. The man came and dragged her by the arm to pull her away.

Several women didn't watch out for his sudden attack, and they didn't have time to stop the kick. When he was about to pull the girl away, Zhang Weizhao stepped forward, grabbed the girl's other arm, and said, "How can you be willing to keep her, say it!" ”

The man's eyes rolled over her, and then he looked at the newly repaired gatehouse behind her and the black lacquer plaque that had just been hung, and said, "Unless you give me twenty taels of silver to buy her, I will let her stay here." ”

The cook surnamed Huang said: "In these years, a well-trained girl is only six taels of silver, and you want twenty taels for a hairy child?" ”

The man said: "Don't want me to release people without twenty taels of silver." So saying, he was going to carry the girl home like a chicken. The girl cried and struggled.

"I bought twenty taels of silver!" Suddenly, a gentle and clear female voice came from behind the man.
