Chapter 283: The academy opens, Ning Yuanze and his brothers congratulate
Xiao Ying suddenly realized, and then her expression of approval became even stronger. Ling Yun was indeed thoughtful and did not let her down.
"This person is considered to be extremely meticulous, but there is still a loophole."
A cold look appeared in her eyes and her face became more serious.
"This person's disguise is so similar, I'm afraid he is very familiar with the real Li Qian. In other words, he may be involved with the master family you are investigating."
She looked at Ling Yun, and Ling Yun nodded in agreement.
"I thought so too, so I did some more research..."
When he said this, his expression became complicated and he seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Xiao Ying's heart moved: "Why, do you know that family?"
Ling Yun shook his head, and finally told the truth: "I don't know them, but they should belong to the Yu family."
Xiao Ying was stunned. It was the Yu family?
Since the open approach doesn't work, the Yu family has resorted to covert tactics?
She glanced at Ling Yun with a strange look in her eyes: "Could this Li Qian be your former master?"
Last time, Yu Fuyao was defeated and almost lost her life. If Yu Qianli sends someone over again, their strength should not be lower than hers.
Or, it was him.
Yu Qianli would never have imagined that just when he suspected Xiao Ying of possessing someone else's body, his cover was exposed.
Xiao Ying didn't know that Yu Qianli had suspected her origins just by observing and asking questions, and even made a completely correct guess.
Ling Yun didn't confirm it outright, but only said, "Young Master's methods are mysterious and unpredictable. It's not impossible for him to disguise himself as Li Qian."
"Oh……"
Xiao Ying snorted lightly and was actually amused by the anger.
I didn't expect that the young master of the Yu family would use this method to lurk around her. What does this person want to do?
"Aren't you afraid that he will come and kill you, the traitor?"
"I am no match for him."
Ling Yun lowered his head. If the young master really wanted to kill him, he probably wouldn't be able to fight back.
Xiao Ying did not comment. In fact, she felt that Yu Qianli had other intentions and was most likely targeting her.
Considering this person's intelligence and alertness, he must have noticed something was wrong with her and wanted to find out what was going on with her.
She fell into deep thought, thinking that this time she might be in real trouble.
If she had known that there was such a person in the Yu family, she would not have promoted potatoes so quickly. It's a pity that she found out too late.
Or is it because of lack of strength? Otherwise, why would we need to worry about these things?
But she was not afraid of Yu Qianli. If the other party really wanted to do something, she didn't mind letting him taste her power!
While she was thinking about how to deal with Yu Qianli, Ning Yuanze and Ning Yuanchen were talking about her.
It turned out that Ying Heng had rushed back from Shangjing and told the two of them the Ning family's decision, and that Ning Leshu would be coming to Yun'an County soon.
"That's great, fourth brother. It looks like we'll have another cousin soon."
Ning Yuanchen smiled with satisfaction. He didn't expect his family to come up with such an idea. Twins, that's really a great idea.
Ning Yuanze was also happy for Xiao Ying, but he also had a little worry. He wondered whether his cousin was willing to return to her ancestral home.
Logically speaking, no one would refuse such a good thing. Even though my cousin is a ninth-rank lady, it is still far from enough compared to the Marquis' Mansion.
But he always felt that his cousin was different from ordinary people and might not be willing to live in a wealthy family.
"My cousin's academy will start classes tomorrow. Let's go and take a look together."
"That's exactly what I meant."
October 15th.
The sky is clear and the air is fresh, and the breeze is gentle.
The academy in Chenjia Village officially opened amidst jubilation!
Since the academy was funded by Xiao Ying, she named it: Yingfeng Academy.
Obviously, it is from the same series as her shop.
Early in the morning, hundreds of people were blocking the entrance of the academy, including men, women, young and old, all with eyes full of anticipation and joy.
Most of these people are villagers from Chenjia Village, and some are from several nearby villages.
After the publicity in the past few days, people in several nearby villages and even the town know that a new academy has been built in Chenjia Village.
Not only is it spacious and beautiful, but it is also a bit lower than those in town.
There are quite a few teachers in the academy. Although there are no juren, there are several scholars.
For ordinary people, a scholar was already an unattainable scholar, but was more than enough to enlighten children.
What shocked everyone even more was that this academy was said to accept female students, and had built a separate classroom for female students, with two female teachers.
There are all kinds of comments about this, and most of them are ridicule and misunderstanding.
Isn't it a waste of money to send a girl to school?
What can a girl do after studying? She will get married sooner or later, and since she can't take the imperial examination, she can only help with housework at home.
Some people even thought that Mrs. Xiao had a brain disease. Of course, no one dared to say this out loud but only thought about it in their hearts.
Some people were very tempted and decided to send their sons to Yingfeng Academy after discussing it at home. It turned out that they could save several taels of silver in tuition fees every year.
Therefore, more than twenty people came to register in the past few days, and they were all boys.
Li Qingfeng had no choice but to temporarily add a few tables and chairs to plan a fourth boys' school.
In the past few days, the academy has also been recruiting teachers, and several scholars have come to sign up.
After the examination, Li Qingfeng and his companions kept two people with good temperament and knowledge, and reported them to Xiao Ying, who decided to keep them.
In this way, the number of teachers in the academy reached eight.
"The county magistrate has arrived!"
"Mrs. Xiao is here!"
Following two loud announcements, the crowd at the scene was suddenly in an uproar and looked at the newcomers.
Sure enough, several figures were walking towards us not far ahead, and the man in the lead was Ning Yuanze, the magistrate of Yun'an County.
Ning Yuanze specially wore an official uniform today. He had an upright posture and handsome appearance, looking like an elegant and noble man.
He was followed by a man and a woman on both sides. Both of them looked like banished fairies, and their aura was even greater than that of Lord Ning, which made everyone stare in amazement.
The man was Ning Yuanchen, a handsome and elegant young man famous in the capital.
The woman was Xiao Ying, the first peasant woman in Yue Kingdom to be granted the title of Ruren.
However, her figure and demeanor didn't look like that of a village woman at all. Her appearance was gorgeous and otherworldly.
Behind the three men followed Chen Jie and several yamen runners with stern expressions. Each of the yamen runners carried a long sword, which made everyone frightened.
"Greetings, His Excellency the County Magistrate!"
"Greetings, Miss Xiao!"
I don't know who was the first to kneel down and greet, but the others immediately came to their senses and followed suit.
"Greetings, His Excellency the County Magistrate!"
"Greetings, Miss Xiao!"
A large group of people knelt down at the scene in an instant, and the noise was deafening.
Some people were unhappy, such as Zhou Lihua and Chen Xue, as if they had only just realized the gap between themselves and Xiao Ying.
Lady, Xiao Ying is a lady with an imperial decree, so they must bow and greet her when they meet her.
"No need to be so polite, fellow villagers. Please get up quickly."
Ning Yuanze was slightly startled and immediately helped the nearest person up.
Everyone then stood up, looking at the three people with eyes still full of respect and curiosity.
Ning Yuanze smiled and said, "I came here today to celebrate the opening of Yingfeng Academy. Yingfeng Academy was founded by Mrs. Xiao, and Mrs. Xiao has made great contributions to this cause."
As he spoke, he looked at Xiao Ying, with a hint of intimacy in his praise.
"Mrs. Xiao, please say a few words for everyone."
