Chapter 257 Pulling the Red Thread

Sikong Xin immediately told Shen Chaoyan the purpose of his visit, "Sister-in-law, I heard that your Shen family is running a school."

Shen Chaoyan nodded, "Yes, what's the matter?"

Sikong Xin immediately told her his idea, "It's like this, I went to the Charity Bureau before and found that the children there couldn't go to school before being adopted. I have an idea, can the children of the Charity Bureau go to the Shen family school?"

After she finished speaking, she paused and said, "I can pay for their tuition!"

In fact, Shen Chaoyan was discussing with Shen Linfeng about the popularization of girls' schools during this period.

Even though the people in the capital were considered to be relatively wealthy in the entire Great Xia Dynasty, in everyone's deep-rooted concept, they still believed that women were virtuous if they had no talent, and rarely let girls go to school.

Shen Chaoyan hopes to change all this, so that all girls can learn to read and play their value.

Her idea is recognized by Shen Linfeng, and the brother and sister are thinking about how to change everyone's concept so that girls can also have the opportunity to go to school.

Shen Chaoyan did not expect that Sikong Xin was willing to pay for the children of the Charity Bureau to go to school to receive education.

She originally wanted to agree immediately.

However, thinking of the fact that Shen Linfeng was urged to get married by her mother, Shen Chaoyan immediately changed her words, "Ninth sister, it's not that I don't want to help you, but my second brother has always been in charge of the school. How about you talk to him?"

Sikong Xin just hoped that the children in the Charity Bureau could learn to read and write earlier, and didn't think much about it, and agreed immediately, "Sister-in-law, where is your second brother? I'll go talk to him now!"

"There's no need to be so anxious. He will go to the Charity Bureau tomorrow to give clothes and medicines to those children. You can see him when you go to the Charity Bureau."

"Thank you, sister-in-law! Then I'll talk to him tomorrow! I have something else to do, so I'll leave first!"

Shen Chaoyan looked at Sikong Xin's back as she left and pouted.

Hongxian, she has done her best to help her good second brother, whether it can be successful depends on their own fate.

In fact, she learned from the heavenly book that morning that Lu Qiyun was urging Shen Linfeng to get married.

And Shen Chaoyan also knew that Shen Linfeng was interested in Sikong Xin.

Since they were both unmarried, she would act as a matchmaker.

She hoped that her second brother could seize this good opportunity and not let her down.

As soon as Sikong Xin left, the Queen Mother ordered Suqiu to come to Fengqi Palace to pick up the two children.

Shen Chaoyan thought that she had not been to Shoukang Palace for several days, so she personally sent the two children there.

When the Queen Mother heard her mention Sikong Xin, she looked troubled, "This girl runs out of the palace all day long. She will be 19 years old next month, and she doesn't care about her life at all! It's really worrying!"

Shen Chaoyan comforted, "Ninth sister has her own ideas about her life, don't worry, mother, maybe her right chance will come soon."

"I hope so."

The Queen Mother sighed, and then looked at Sikong Chen and Sikong Nian who ran to her, her eyes instantly became kind and gentle, "It's still you two little darlings who make me worry less!"

"Grandmother... Royal grandmother..."

The two little guys now speak much more clearly than before. Although they can't speak long sentences, they can speak short sentences of two or three words well.

Occasionally, they can even communicate simply with adults.

Shen Chaoyan drank tea and watched the Queen Mother interact with the two children, with a smile on her face.

Being able to enjoy family happiness like this often is the greatest happiness in life.

The next day, at the Charity Bureau.

Shen Linfeng had just ordered people to unload the supplies from the cart when a pretty figure broke into his sight.

Although the other party was wearing men's clothes, Shen Linfeng recognized her as the ninth princess Sikong Xin at a glance.

When his mother showed him the album of beautiful ladies yesterday, it was these bright and beautiful faces that emerged in his mind.

Shen Linfeng stared at the face in front of him and was dazed for a moment.

At this moment, Sikong Xin had already walked in front of him, "Second Master Shen! I wonder if you have time, I want to talk to you alone!"

Shen Linfeng didn't expect Sikong Xin to take the initiative to ask him out. He was so excited that he almost couldn't suppress the corners of his mouth.

In order to appear calm and composed in front of the person he likes, he tried hard to make himself look expressionless, "I wonder what Her Royal Highness the Princess wants to talk to me... Um!"

Before he finished asking, Sikong Xin covered his mouth with her hand, "Shh! Don't call me Princess outside, just call me by my name!"

Although her royal brother and mother didn't care much about her, they had told her many times, openly and secretly, to keep a low profile as much as possible outside the palace.

If someone recognized her, or if her mischief got to their ears, she would never be able to leave the palace again.

Sikong Xin was a person who yearned for a casual and free life. She was wanton and free, and lived as she pleased, but she didn't want to be locked up in the inner house after getting married, to take care of her husband and children.

Shen Linfeng lowered his eyes, looked at the slender hand covering his mouth, and his Adam's apple shook twice unconsciously.

His lips could even feel the delicate skin of her palm, and his nose could smell the faint scent of perfume on her hand.

With a light fruity sweetness, it was the latest model launched in the Shen family's "Yue Yi" beauty shop.

Sikong Xin waited for a moment, and seeing that he ignored him, he said again, "Hey! Second Master Shen! Shopkeeper Shen! Are you listening to me?"

"Oh, I heard it! Well, I know that the flower tea and snacks recently launched by Hongxing Restaurant are very good. How about we go there to talk?"

"Okay!"

So, Shen Linfeng gave a few instructions to his subordinates and went to Hongxing Restaurant with Sikong Xin.

The two of them asked for a private room and waited for the waiter to put the tea and snacks on the table.

Shen Linfeng took the initiative to pour a cup of scented tea for Sikong Xin, "This rose tea has a refreshing fragrance and is good for beauty. Miss Sikong, please try it."

Sikong Xin only glanced at the scented tea and got back to the point, "Second Master Shen, I heard from the Queen's sister-in-law that you are preparing for a new school. I hope your new school can be located near the Charity Bureau. Many children in the Charity Bureau are also old enough to go to school. If possible, can they go to your school to listen to the teacher's lectures?"

At this point, Sikong Xin was afraid that he would not agree, so after thinking about it, he added, "Of course, I will pay for their tuition!"

Shen Linfeng knew that Sikong Xin only looked willful and unruly, but in fact, she had been silently supporting the Charity Bureau for several years, and often personally brought food and clothes to the children.

At this time, Shen Linfeng looked at Sikong Xin's serious expression, smiled and said, "Actually, I had this idea a long time ago. The purpose of setting up a school is to reduce tuition fees so that more children from ordinary families can afford to go to school. Since Miss Sikong also has this idea, why don't we cooperate?"

They all want to benefit the people and make the Great Xia Dynasty better and better.

Since we have the same aspirations, why not walk hand in hand on the road to the future?

If the school is run well, maybe it can cultivate talents for the Great Xia!

Sikong Xin met his sincere eyes and nodded vigorously, "Okay!"
