Chapter 48: Also give Yingtian Academy a warning
Because of this sudden illness, Cheng Shuyi's new store opening was delayed for a lot of time.
She worked overtime and was exhausted.
But there are always people taking up her time!
Qi Siyan had just been driven away by her at noon, and during a nap, he came again!
And he brought two more people.
Cheng Shuyi filled water bottles for the two children and hung them around their necks.
He said to the two children, "Hurry up and go to the academy. Don't be late."
The two cubs responded with a crisp "OK" and went out with their short legs.
The three people from Yingtian Academy who came looked at the backs of the two children running, looked at each other, and seemed to have some plans.
"Cheng."
Qi Siyan took a step forward, raised his chin and introduced the two people next to him.
"These two are the masters of Yingtian Academy. Master Shao is in charge of the affairs of the academy, and Master Peng is responsible for the quality of character and learning."
"You must not neglect the two masters of the courtyard."
Speaking of neglect, Cheng Shuyi thought of the time he spent basking in the sun at Yingtian Academy.
The sun is shining brightly now, let them get some sun.
Cheng Shuyi didn't enter the room and didn't say anything.
Just under the eaves of the kitchen, she was fiddling with the dried vegetables that she had hung on the wall to dry.
In summer, when drinking porridge, pickles are a must.
The three people from Yingtian Academy were just left out in the yard.
The scorching sun overhead was glaring, and the cicadas in the trees outside were chirping deafeningly, like a saw.
No one can stand under such sunlight for long.
Shao Tongfu felt a little embarrassed being left out like this.
He gave Qi Siyan a wink.
Qi Siyan didn't expect Cheng Shuyi to be so arrogant that he didn't even give face to the two teachers in the academy.
He finally lowered his posture a little, "Mrs. Cheng, the sun is scorching. Can you two teachers talk in the room?"
"When I went to Yingtian Academy, I was not allowed to enter."
Cheng Shuyi brought up the past and made a mocking remark.
Qi Siyan's face looked a little ugly.
Women are just stingy. Even after so much time has passed, she still holds on to such a small matter.
Cheng Shuyi turned around and washed his hands. "The two courtyard masters, please come in. Master Qi, please don't."
Two teachers basked in the sun in the yard for a long time.
As soon as they entered the house, they were hit by a rustling cold air, as if entering a cold cellar. They even thought the chirping of cicadas outside was pleasant.
Does Baima Academy enjoy such coolness every day?
No wonder the students of Baima Academy have been so diligent and studious these days that they don’t even go home until sunset.
Let’s take a look at their Yingtian Academy.
Due to the hot weather, the students were lazy and some even took days off.
The autumn examination is approaching, and they are really worried.
They can’t get the medicine today, but they must get the ice!
"Please come in, Masters." Cheng Shuyi poured tea for them. "Do you want medicine or ice?"
She got straight to the point and had no time for small talk.
The two of them drank tea.
The cool and refreshing tea feels more comfortable when it flows down your throat.
well!
If I had known this earlier, I wouldn’t have let Qi Siyan entertain Cheng Shuyi.
Otherwise, there would be cool air in the nine courtyards and thirty-two dormitories of Yingtian Academy, and even in the cleaning servants' rooms.
Why do they need to come here in such a humble manner today?
Shao Tongfu was very adept at dealing with various officials in the capital on a daily basis.
He started to smooth things over, "Ms. Cheng, Master Qi is just a bit straightforward. If he has offended you in any way, please forgive me."
"Haihan can't bear it." Cheng Shuyi said calmly: "The two masters should get straight to the point."
Shao Tongfu was defeated by her straightforwardness.
She was so firm and refused to slow down, he didn't know how to start his next words.
Shao Tongfu looked at Peng Ji and asked him to speak.
Peng Ji was a man of flexibility and camaraderie. He stood up and bowed to Cheng Shuyi.
"Boss Cheng, the Autumn Examination is approaching, and Yingtian Academy is in chaos. Students are sick and have no medical care, and the scorching heat is unbearable. I hope Boss Cheng will show mercy and help Yingtian Academy overcome this difficult time!"
This man argued so convincingly that Cheng Shuyi couldn't help but look at him differently.
It turns out that Yingtian Academy still has a clear mind.
"OK."
Cheng Shuyi gave in.
The two people in the room looked at her in surprise, with delight on their faces.
It turns out that all she wanted was for Yingtian Academy to give in to her. Why didn't she say so earlier?
They were exposed to the sun for so long.
Women are soft-hearted.
Shao Tongfu picked up the teacup again, shook his head secretly, and thought to himself: That's all.
Peng Ji was delighted and made the decision on his own, "Boss Cheng is kind and righteous, and we at Yingtian Academy should also show some appreciation."
"Just now, I saw that there is a young master in Mr. Cheng's house." Peng Ji looked at Shao Tongfu, "Master Shao, please let the young master of the Cheng family enter the academy to study."
"this……"
Shao Tongfu pretended to be embarrassed.
I thought Cheng Shuyi couldn't tell that they were acting in collusion.
"Since the Cheng family donated ice and medicine to the academy, I will make an exception and allow young Master Cheng to enroll." Shao Tongfu looked like he was ready to overcome all difficulties for Cheng Shuyi.
Cheng Shuyi sneered and said unhappily, "Are you blind? Didn't you see that I have a daughter?"
She didn't mention her daughter Xu Xu at all. Doesn't Yingtian Academy also have female students?
The two looked at each other again.
Peng Ji finally revealed his true colors, "The students of Yingtian Academy are aiming for the imperial examinations, so it's probably inappropriate for a girl to attend the academy."
He did not approve of women entering academies.
On the dragon desk in the imperial study, he wrote three memorials a month to ban women from entering academies.
When girls enter school, they attract the attention of boys.
More likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything!
"Whether it's appropriate or not is up to you."
Cheng Shuyi had never intended to send her two children to Yingtian Academy, and she would never donate ice or medicine to Yingtian Academy.
"You don't have to make things difficult for me, and you don't have to make an exception for my child. We are just a business relationship."
"Buy?"
The two of them didn't understand what was said.
"Yes." Cheng Shuyi made an offer: "Ice, one yuan and two taels, medicine, one pill, ten taels."
"How much does Yingtian Academy cost?"
"What!"
Shao Tongfu slammed his hands on the table, his eyes widening. "Didn't you just agree to help Yingtian Academy overcome its difficulties? How can you go back on your word!"
Cheng Shuyi spread his hands and shrugged: "I don't regret it. I said I can give it to you, but I didn't say it's free."
"You, you!" Shao Tongfu was so angry that he was speechless.
Seeing this, Peng Ji thought that Cheng Shuyi was angry on behalf of his own daughter.
He said, "How about this, Boss Cheng? We will allow both of your children to attend Yingtian Academy. That should be fine, right?"
Cheng Shuyi sneered.
You see, that’s the principle of Yingtian Academy.
Cheng Shuyi smiled at the two of them, "Anyway, I have ice and medicine. If you really care about your students, you wouldn't be reluctant to spend this little money, right?"
The tuition fees at Yingtian Academy were so high that officials from the court came in and out.
It’s not that they can’t come up with the money.
But he was reluctant to spend the money because he wanted to take advantage of her!
There are nine courtyards, thirty-two dormitories, and more than a hundred rooms.
Four blocks of ice are used as the base for a room, which means eight hundred taels a day.
She was taken advantage of!
She has ice, so why not add two more pieces to her hot pot restaurant?
