Chapter 312 Suspicion
After all, he had experience in running a clinic before, so Lu Nanyue finished reading the account book quickly.
Even though she was mentally prepared, Lu Nanyue was still shocked when she saw that Jianxintang's monthly revenue was ten times that of the previous Lu family clinic.
As expected, heart disease is difficult to cure.
But such a large amount of silver also put some pressure on Lu Nanyue.
She knew that she still had to stand up and live up to Lin Zhiqing's expectations.
After quickly reading the account book, Lu Nanyue found Lin Zhiqing who was instructing an apprentice.
She learned the most basic face reading skills from Jianxinxue, and when she went out with Lin Zhiqing, she did not forget to test her learning results and analyzed everyone's expressions in detail.
Although most of the content is wrong, the learning attitude is very correct.
Lin Zhiqing did not mind the trouble and communicated with her patiently.
The two of them wore veil hats and walked all the way to the West Market. Lu Nanyue pulled Lin Zhiqing around, turning left and right, and finally stopped outside a courtyard that looked a bit shabby.
Lu Nanyue walked up and knocked on the door, and soon the door was opened.
What Lin Zhiqing didn't expect was that the person who opened the door was a girl who looked only seven or eight years old.
The clothes the girl was wearing were a little faded, but they were very clean and tidy.
Seeing Lu Nanyue, the girl jumped up with joy and shouted towards the yard:
"Master, Master, the two sisters are here!"
Lu Nanyue also smiled and pulled Lin Zhiqing in.
She touched the head of the girl who opened the door and said, "It's been a while since I last came. How are you guys doing?"
"Very good! Sister, the teacher took us to make some calming sachets for you a few days ago. It just so happened that you came here." The little girl walked towards the main courtyard excitedly.
"You are so thoughtful." Lu Nanyue smiled.
Soon, more than a dozen girls of different ages heard the noise and ran out.
Just now, Lin Zhiqing was a little confused about what it meant, but now, she could tell from the children wearing the same clothes that this place should be some kind of place like an orphanage.
But if it is an orphanage, that is not entirely true.
Because the girl who opened the door just now mentioned "Master".
Only schools have teachers.
Moreover, until now, Lin Zhiqing has not seen any man or boy here.
Based on this information, she had a vague guess in her mind.
This place is probably some kind of place where girls are taught.
While Lin Zhiqing was thinking, the girls had already surrounded her and Lu Nanyue.
Immediately afterwards, a mature and slightly serious female voice came over:
"Everyone stand still and do not disturb the distinguished guests."
Hearing this, the children who had been in a mess just now quickly stood according to their height and respectfully called out "Teacher".
Seeing this scene, Lin Zhiqing became more certain of his thoughts.
Lu Nanyue started talking to the teacher with ease, mostly asking about the children's studies.
For example, whether there is enough paper and pen, whether the tables, chairs and benches are damaged, etc.
The teacher nodded one by one, then took out two sachets and said that the children had made them themselves.
Lin Zhiqing took it and looked at it. The stitches were so fine that it was obvious that a lot of effort had been put into it.
She whispered a thank you.
Lu Nanyue went to the kitchen again and saw that there were only some ordinary dishes inside, no meat or fish. She secretly took note of it in her heart.
After going around like this, Lin Zhiqing and Lu Nanyue had a rough idea in their minds, and then said goodbye.
The teacher didn't invite the two of them to dinner, perhaps because he thought the food was too simple.
After leaving that place, Lu Nanyue counted on her fingers and said, "Judging by the time, their money should be almost gone."
"I've seen the kids grow up quite a bit. As the saying goes, a grown-up kid can bankrupt his father. Perhaps the monthly money he sends me should be increased."
Lin Zhiqing nodded: "These children are quite well-behaved. Jianxin Hall can give more money. You can decide."
"No, no." Lu Nanyue waved her hand: "Xiao Huai will take more money. He has done these things more than once or twice."
"Before, you were bullied by the Lin family and couldn't leave the house. My clinic was also in a loss-making state. It was he who paid for your expenses."
When mentioning this, Lin Zhiqing thought of the money he owed Lu Huai when he first came.
Although Lin Zhiqing later returned the money to Lu Huai as soon as she had money, she had no idea how she owed the money before.
Now, the matter has been connected.
Thinking of this, she said, "I'm so busy with the Lin family's affairs that I rarely ask about these things. I'm sorry for the trouble you and Lu Huai have put in."
"What's the big deal? Xiao Qing'er, you're too polite." Lu Nanyue sighed:
"If it weren't for Uncle Lin's private support, the Lu family clinic might not have been able to open."
Lin Congrong?
That clinic was related to his father? Lin Zhiqing immediately pricked up his ears.
Lu Nanyue spoke to herself: "Uncle Lin is a rare hero in Dasheng."
"When he first suggested opening a girls' school, my father agreed to it, but for some reason, the imperial court insisted it wouldn't work."
"Uncle Lin never gave up and instead opened many places that were beneficial to women, such as bookstores where women could enter."
"It's a pity that after he passed away, those places were closed down."
Lu Nanyue felt a little sorry and sighed.
Lin Zhiqing had heard about these things from Aunt Mu before, but now that he saw with his own eyes that there were still people doing those things silently, he felt a little emotional.
Lu Nanyue didn't say much, but the information was enough.
The original owner and Lu Nanyue may have been influenced by Lin Congrong when they chose to support such a place for girls to learn knowledge.
Lin Congrong is indeed a rare man in this great country.
As for why his petition to open a girls' school was rejected...
Lin Zhiqing frowned and stopped suddenly.
She thought of Wuqing.
At this moment, the things that I had not figured out before came flooding back like a flood.
Lin Congrong had always been busy with women's affairs. In the eyes of some court officials who were already terrified of Wu Qing's incident, what Lin Congrong did must be unacceptable.
They were afraid that if restrictions on women were relaxed, they would give birth to a second or third Wu Qing.
It can be said that in the eyes of Lin Zhiqing who knew about the Wuqing incident, Lin Congrong many years ago was destined to be unable to promote things that would benefit women, such as setting up girls' schools.
At that time, except for Lin Qingshan, no one else in the Lin family knew about this.
Lin Qingshan was a military general by nature, and he could not imagine the twists and turns involved.
At the same time, Lin Zhiqing's own name also contains the character "Qing".
This, coupled with Lin Congrong's actions, has already stacked up the buff in the eyes of those people.
Lin Congrong wants to cultivate a second Wu Qing!
Such ideas will definitely take root in people's minds, thus restricting Lin Congrong.
Lin Zhiqing was shot even when he was lying down, just because of an unfounded speculation from his superiors, and was destined to become a thorn in the eyes of some court officials.
