"Miss, if you want to run a school, why don't you just buy some older girls?
Being older, one can definitely learn things faster and more easily. Those newly purchased shops in Huaibei can be used just for that!
If we buy those seven or eight-year-old children now, won’t we have to support them for several years before we can use them?
There are fewer people now, so it’s still easier to deal with. But if we really raise a hundred or so, that would be a huge amount of money!
Just the food, clothing and housing every year will cost a huge sum of money!
Not to mention, hiring a teacher to read to you, and money for pens, ink, paper, and inkstone are also necessary, which is another expense!
Miss, even if we have money, we shouldn't spend it like this!"
Seeing Lu Zhu's painful expression, Si Jinxing knew that she was afraid of poverty when she was in the villa outside Beijing, so she patiently explained:
“Old girls have a lot to deal with and their personalities vary.
But these children are different.
First, it is to cultivate their character from an early age. Second, if a child has medical talent, it is better to learn the basic medical knowledge early rather than late.
Besides, if you calculate, the money you use to buy an older girl is enough to buy three or four children.
The most important thing is that those older girls are more or less capable and can always earn a living on their own.
But those children are the most pitiful. If they don’t meet a good boss, it will be difficult for them to survive.
Although I cannot guarantee that they will have a worry-free life, I hope that I can teach them some skills to survive in this world.
People say that women have to rely on men to survive, but I don’t believe it.
I believe that those children will be able to stand firm on their own in this land and live for themselves in the future!"
Hearing her young lady say this, Luzhu was a little fascinated.
She could already imagine that in a few years, those pale and skinny children would grow up.
They are all well-educated, smart, wise, intelligent and capable.
Lu Zhu couldn't help but say happily:
"In this case, the young lady will be the benefactor who helps them change their fate!"
Si Jinxing smiled when she heard this, and she said seriously:
"I just gave them a fair competition track. Whether they can go on as expected is still unknown.
Who can walk well and who can walk poorly depends entirely on themselves. Who can predict what will happen in the future?
You, take the money and do it quickly."
After hearing this, Lu Zhu realized that life was unpredictable, so she said no more, took the five thousand taels of silver note, and left the room.
The green cicada beside him said:
"Princess, I've checked it out. Madam Wen did catch a cold a while ago, but she's recovered a long time ago.
But during those days, there were problems with the meals delivered to Cuihe Garden.
I asked someone to check the purchase account books of the general's mansion in those days and found two kilograms of almonds.
But, unfortunately, there were no almond cakes or dishes in the meals at the mansion during those days."
Upon hearing this, Si Jinxing frowned slightly and asked:
"You mean the problem is the almonds? Those almonds went to Cuihe Garden?"
Qingchan nodded and continued:
"Yes, someone saw the third young lady go to the kitchen the day before shopping.
On the second day, the other masters had double rice porridge, but Wenshi of Cuiheyuan had millet porridge.
It is said that Wen is still ill, and millet porridge is the best way to strengthen the spleen and stomach."
When Si Jinxing heard this, he immediately understood.
She slapped her hand on the table, her face darkened, and said:
“Millet does strengthen the spleen and stomach, while almonds have the effect of clearing away heat and detoxifying.
However, these two ingredients cannot be eaten together. At the very least, it will cause nausea and vomiting, and at the worst, it may even lead to death!"
Qingchan nodded and said:
"But if the almonds are ground into powder and mixed into the millet porridge, I think there will be a flavor. Wen Shi, how come you didn't taste anything unusual?"
Si Jinxing tapped the table with her right index finger and said, "When the cold is severe, the sense of taste and smell will be reduced.
But even if Aunt Wen noticed something unusual, with her nature of preferring to mind her own business, she would probably just think that the porridge was because it had been cooked for too long and had become a little bitter.
She certainly wouldn't go to the kitchen to cause trouble, or even go to Si Junshan to make a scene, just for a bowl of porridge."
She paused for a moment, looked up at Qingchan, and said:
"Let those people go to Si Junshan themselves and explain the matter clearly.
However, I heard that Si Junshan was urgently summoned to the palace today. I guess something happened in the palace.
Did your prince send any news?"
Qing Chan shook his head and said, "The prince hasn't sent any news.
only......."
Seeing her hesitant, Si Jinxing could only say, "Just say it if you have something to say. But what is it?"
Qingchan then said:
"However, I suspect that the urgent matter being discussed in the palace is related to the princess or the prince himself, which is why the prince has not sent a single word."
When Si Jinxing heard this, she was stunned. How could it be related to her?
Immediately, she looked at Qing Chan and asked directly:
"Are you talking about what happened to Princess Hanlan outside Yaxu Laomen?"
Qingchan didn't say anything this time, but just nodded slightly.
Si Jinxing guessed correctly. At this time, several officials in the Southern Study of the Imperial Palace were divided into two factions and were arguing with each other!
Prime Minister Liu Yangfeng glanced at Qi Moli, who was standing aside with his eyes slightly closed, and said:
"Your Majesty, Yuan Qiuzhi is not only an envoy sent by Hanlan, but also the apple of the eye of Emperor Hanlan's eye, his most beloved princess!
But King Mo Ying so casually detained someone in Jingzhao Prefecture just for the second young lady of Si Mansion?
