Chapter 114: Hanging High
Mrs. Fang held her daughter in her arms and asked distressedly, "Chu Chu, are you scared?"
Others only saw their daughter's halo, and only Mrs. Fang was worried about whether her daughter would be scared.
Fang Lingchu's tears suddenly fell, and she hugged her mother without saying anything.
How could she not be afraid? This was a patriarchal world! The emperor could kill their entire family if he was unhappy.
How could she not be afraid! But she knew that if this matter was not resolved, she would not be so important in the emperor's heart.
By then, will the Fang family die because of her?
Although Fang Lingchu has always been very happy and looks carefree, he knows very well in his heart where this place is.
So she could only complain in her heart, but on the surface, she respected the emperor more than anyone else.
"Mom, I'm fine. I just hope our family is okay."
Fang's mother wiped her daughter's tears, feeling very distressed.
When the system saw this scene, it also burst into tears.
[Host, don't be afraid. You still have me. No one can hurt you.]
Fang Lingchu asked while burping: [Guagua, will the emperor blame me?]
The system assured: [It definitely won’t happen, host, don’t worry, the prince got the emperor’s order to take those people away.
Besides, the number of people participating in the imperial examination is the largest in history, and your fiefdom has the largest population. After all, you have opened several academies. Zhang Boren is a super awesome teacher, and he teaches the students in your fiefdom very well.
There's also good news. Strawberry is now a very capable female official. She's managing your fiefdom very well. By the way, host, have you decided who will help you manage your fiefdom this time?
Fang Lingchu said, "I listen to your Majesty, Guagua. It's better to let them make the decision on this matter. I'm thinking about what the people just said. If women can establish their own households, wouldn't that encourage more women to participate in national development? Oh! I didn't want to go to work, but now it seems I have no choice but to go to work!"
By the way, I'm planning to recruit workers. Please help me take a good look and find good ones for me. The official salt production process is about to begin.
While Fang Lingchu was talking to the system, he was also comforting his crying mother, and all the grievances he felt at the beginning disappeared.
Now I just feel tired!
The system said solemnly: [Don’t worry, host, I will definitely help you choose good employees.
By the way, host, you will be invigilating tomorrow, and we will definitely be able to eat a lot of melons, so would you like to prepare some food?]
The teacher who invigilated Fang Lingchu’s exams in the technological era seemed to be really boring!
[Yes, I'll ask Blueberry and the others to prepare some for me tonight.]
When Mrs. Fang heard the conversation between Fang Lingchu and the system, she knew that her daughter was busy and stopped crying.
Mrs. Fang wiped her tears and said, "Chu Chu, are you hungry? Let's go eat first. If you have anything to do, ask your father to do it. Don't be so impulsive in the future. There are so many people here. It's really too much for a little girl like you to deal with such a thing."
Fang Lingchu happily took her mother's hand and said with a smile: "If I can't even face this little difficulty, then His Majesty may not be at ease with many of the plans I propose in the future. It's okay, mother, I can do it. I'm your daughter, I'm not afraid of them!"
Fang Lingchu's mother can be said to be very famous. Not only is she good at making money, but she is also very good at studying. If she had not been born in a merchant family, her father might not have married her at all.
Although my father and mother are really loving.
Mrs. Fang slapped her daughter's hand and said, "You only know how to coax me."
Then he took his daughter's hand and called his parents and sister-in-law in to eat.
That left Minister Fang standing there with a look of disdain and unhappiness on his face.
Minister Fang: Can't he see that he's such a grown man? Why doesn't his own wife comfort him and still ask him to help his daughter with work? Is this reasonable?
Mrs. Fang didn't care what Minister Fang thought. All she had in her heart and eyes was her little daughter.
After everyone finished their meal, Fang Lingchu asked someone to prepare lanterns.
The system looked at Fang Lingchu preparing these things and was a little confused.
【Host, what are you preparing these things for? 】
Fang Lingchu explained: "Guagua, don't you know? Hanging this kind of lantern at the door of students who are about to take the imperial examination means that the lantern is hung high, and the people in this room will also pass the exam, so I will prepare one for each of them."
Oh, and I heard that hanging the clothes of those who passed high school entrance exams at the door can bring some good luck. I'll have Xiaobai and the others steal the clothes of the previous year's top scorer and hang them up there!
Seeing this, the system quickly said: [Host, is it possible that your father's is also acceptable? Your father was also a top scholar.]
Fang Lingchu thought about it and agreed. If she went on stealing from others and was discovered, people would think she was a pervert!
【Then go get my dad’s.】
The top scorer of the last college entrance examination: I was sitting at home, and something almost happened.
He was not valued in the first place, and if his clothes were stolen, he would not be able to survive.
Minister Fang was handling matters in the study.
Suddenly, a servant said that his underwear had been borrowed by his daughter and was hung outside the rooms of his children and Lin Wanrou, saying that it could bless the children to get into high school.
Then, no one knew who spread the rumor, but during that day many people came into the Fang Mansion intentionally or unintentionally. Some of them came in secretly, but were all stopped by the secret guards.
Some others tried to borrow money from Mrs. Fang indirectly, and Mrs. Fang was completely confused.
At the same time, someone from the Fang family who was taking the imperial examination also wanted to borrow it, but was stopped by Mrs. Fang on the pretext of feeling unwell.
Then everyone came to the doors of the children's rooms and saw all kinds of things hanging there, including lanterns, clothes, and rice dumplings.
Mrs. Fang suddenly felt that her daughter was so superstitious!
Fang Lingchu didn't care what others thought. After telling everyone what he knew, he prepared to go back to sleep.
After all, she has to get up early tomorrow.
the next day
Fang Lingchu was standing there so gorgeously that she almost fell asleep.
The bodyguard and tutor who followed Fang Lingchu could only keep reminding her.
"Master Xiao Fang, the students are coming, please wake up."
"Master Xiao Fang, please wake up."
They are both really tired. Why do they have to work with Fang Lingchu?
These unlucky people can even fall asleep while standing. They don’t know what to say, really.
Finally it was the morning hour of Mao, and people began to arrive slowly.
The Grand Tutor and the Grand Guardian were heartbroken when they heard the voice of the system.
[Host, don't sleep anymore, someone is coming. ]
When Fang Lingchu heard the system's voice, he immediately straightened his head and looked ahead seriously, as if he was working seriously.
The students who heard Fang Lingchu's inner thoughts for the first time thought he was crazy and didn't dare to speak.
