The drizzle is as thin as silk.

The temperature in the capital dropped by more than ten degrees.

In front of Zuoanmen Primary School, Shuanzhu held up a paper umbrella to protect Jiao Shun and got out of the car. Then Jia Yun and Zhao Yan led the officers to greet him.

"uncle."

"grown ups."

After the ceremony, Zhao Yan held the hem of the official robe in both hands and reported: "As you told me, they did not disturb them."

"Um."

Jiao Shun nodded slightly, raised his chin to the elementary school and said, "Let's go, go to the mountain house to rest first."

"this……"

Zhao Yan's face froze and he wanted to speak but stopped.

"I'm sick again?"

Jiao Shun immediately knew that in the past two months, he has been inspecting Zuoanmen primary school for more than two times, but the mountain chief always avoided him. I don’t know if he is really proud or wants to make a name for himself.

However, Jiao Shun was too lazy to go into the deeper research, and was even so happy not to deal with such sour Ding.

He waved his hand to Zhao Yan and said, "It's the same whether he is here or not. We're just going to take a break and wait for the belated guests."

"guest?"

Zhao Yanqi said: "Sir, have you invited others?"

"Brother Bao's friend wants to come over and see."

It was heard that Jia Baoyu's friend was coming, but Zhao Yan became curious and took everyone to the mountain captain's office to shelter from the rain.

This mountain captain was quite leisurely. He had some flowers, birds, fish and insects in the study, and more than a dozen scrolls of calligraphy and paintings were hung on the wall. Seeing that the notes were all written by the same person, I think they should have been drawn by him.

Jiao Shun originally wanted to look through the lesson plan on the table, but two tutors who arrived hurriedly stopped him - as the saying goes, the mountain leader is not rude to Jiao Shun, and the tutors below are also majestic and unbearable.

This is also because the primary schools in the capital are directly under the Ministry of Rites, so there is no need to care about the views of the officials of the Ministry of Works [lower level].

Of course, this is actually their wishful thinking. In fact, the money to maintain the operation of elementary school and pay them wages are mostly scholarships provided by workshops in various places.

Jiao Shun was thinking about whether to just use these two tutors to establish their authority, so as not to be unaware of the general principles and ruin his plan to "consolidate the foundation and cultivate the essence".

Just at this moment, the rotation officer outside suddenly came to report that Mr. Bao had already brought his friend to the door.

Jiao Shun did not care about the people next to him and hurriedly led everyone to greet him.

At this time, Jia Baoyu, King Beijing and others had already entered the courtyard gate. The one who started was Liu Xianglian, who had not seen him for many days.

This kid obviously lived a very comfortable life in the palace. He became more and more handsome as he walked, and even his skin added some fine and shinyness.

"Brother Jiao!"

Seeing Jiao Shun coming to greet him, he hurriedly held his umbrella and rushed for a few steps, bowed to Jiao Shunshen and said, "I haven't seen you for many days, I'm thinking of you."

King Beijing and Jia Baoyu were also hurriedly behind him and formed a sissy formation with him.

Jiao Shun's chrysanthemum tightened and he took a step back without hesitation.

Then I couldn't help but be amazed.

In the past, no matter who he walked with, he would have to stand in the C position. Now he is willing to follow Liu Xianglian and come here in the rain, which shows his "respect and appreciation" of Liu Xianglian.

Skip~

Two beautiful dogs!

Jiao Shun was surprised. The tutor who came out for some reason was even more shocked.

It was an honor they could not imagine that King Beijing could step into this place, but Shui Rong was willing to follow Mr. Liu.

this……

Could it be that the emperor visited the private tour?!

If it was a private visit, the mountain leader led everyone to fight against the officials of the Ministry of Industry, wouldn’t it be a direct answer to the heavens?!

It's over, it's all over!

…………

at the same time.

In the backyard of Rongguo Mansion, Xing Xiuyan was also watching the misty drizzle through the window.

Such weather inevitably reminded her of the old scenery in Jiangnan. Coupled with the hard-to-speaking experiences in the past few days, her homesickness and sorrow are overwhelmed in her heart.

Just as I couldn't see the mist and rain, I suddenly heard the call from the outside world.

Xing Xiuyan hurriedly wiped away the corners of her eyes, and then slightly covered her face in the mirror, then she smiled and walked out.

When I came to the living room outside, I saw a woman in her thirties besides Siqi.

As soon as he caught Xing Xiuyan's figure, Si Qi grabbed the copper coins and stuffed them to the woman, and smiled reservedly: "It's raining and cloudy, so I'm sorry for my sister-in-law to run away."

"Yo~ Look at what the girl said, aren't this what we should do?"

The woman held the copper coins and couldn't stop smiling. After thanking each other again, she bowed and bowed to Xing Xiuyan, and then she left with brisk steps.

Looking at this scene silently, Xing Xiuyan's heart was full of doubts.

Because it is not the first time that similar scenes have been seen in the past two days. Although Siqi has various reasons afterwards, Xing Xiuyan always feels that she is calling herself out just to witness this scene.

But what does it mean to let yourself see these?

Is it because I want to use the generous gifts of the Duke's Mansion to make myself feel ashamed of myself?

this……

Too naive, right?

After sending the woman away, Si Qi turned around and saw that Xing Xiuyan had finally revealed some strange emotions besides smiling, and she couldn't help but proudly raised the corners of her mouth.

Then she pretended to be serious and said, "Miss Xing also saw that it is not that easy to live in this deep courtyard. She costs at least a hundred cents a day. Now it depends on our girls' savings, but it is not a big deal to continue like this."

"In my opinion, Miss Xing would be better off finding some inputs. If we girls can't take care of it for a while, we won't be humiliated by those who praise the high and the low."

"this……"

Xing Xiuyan was shocked when she heard this and thought that she would charge her money without paying her.

According to the current exchange rate, three thousand citations are equivalent to about four taels of silver. She just decided that the next month's silver would be two taels per month. If she followed Siqi's algorithm, wouldn't she still have to owe two taels of silver every month?

No wonder she always let herself see these days, it turns out that she has such thoughts!

But if my family can get this investment, why would he go north to Beijing and rely on others?

Xing Xiuyan calmed down slightly and smiled and said, "Miss is too worried. I can't compare to my sister's splendor, and I don't ask for any luxury clothes and food. I just provide it according to the usual rules in the house."

"common practice?"

Si Qi sniffed when she heard this and sneered: "Miss is so naive. The common practice in this mansion is to look at people serving dishes. When we girls didn't use money, we were deducted all day long, but we often sent some unusable bad goods."

this……

In my own home, I have to bribe people to have normal meals and utensils available. Who is the master and who is the servant?

Xing Xiuyan asked in disbelief: "Is this happening everywhere in the mansion?"

Si Qi opened her mouth and said 'It's true', but she still disdained to lie, so she sneered: "Of course not, so she said she was just watching people play the dishes - Miss Xing and our girls are not as good as others, and second wife and second grandma are not easy to interfere casually."

The meaning of the words is clearly that these bullshit things are caused directly or indirectly by Xing.

Xing Xiuyan felt the deep dissatisfaction and thought to herself, could it be that she was so angry that she was so angry because of her aunt?

As he was thinking, he suddenly heard Si Qi ask, "I heard that my uncle has settled in Ningrong Lane?"

Xing Xiuyan was a little stunned and finally understood what she was thinking.

This is obviously trying to coax and scare me and drive myself out of Rongguo Mansion!

To be honest, if you could make your own choice, Xing Xiuyan would be happy to leave this cage-like place.

However……

Thinking of his aunt's face and attitude, and thinking of his parents' expectations on his way north, Xing Xiuyan finally shook his head and said, "My sister is really poor and has a short ambition. What do they give to Xiuyan? "

As he said that, he gave Si Qi a little blessing and turned back to the west room.

"Ph~"

As soon as she returned to the house, Xiu Ju walked in from outside with a gloomy face, spat hard at the west room, and cursed: "What a shameless person, is it up to us?!"

After scolding, she suggested, "She said she could use whatever she wanted, and just let the stove double the methods used on her. I think she could last for a while!"

Si Qi glared at her and said angrily: "What nonsense! Can we specifically ask the stove to give her some rotten ones? If this is spread, will the girl's reputation still be needed?!"

"What sister is going to do?"

"No hurry!"
