Chapter 45: Time Management Master
[One, two, three...]
The voice in his heart that rang out again interrupted Xiao Jingfan's thoughts. He withdrew his gaze and looked back at the pages of the book. Only then did he realize that the good book had been crushed into pieces by him.
I felt inexplicably irritated.
He picked up the tea bowl and took two sips. As the sweet tea went down his throat, the irritability suddenly disappeared.
Xiao Jingfan stared at the chrysanthemums in the tea bowl for a moment, and decided to ask the imperial physician to check his pulse after returning to the palace.
——It must be caused by excessive liver fire. Ask Wu Yuanshi to give him two acupuncture treatments and he will be fine.
Putting the book down, he turned to look at Chu Liuzheng again, his inquiring eyes falling on her curled up fingers as white and tender as lotus root tips.
What was this woman counting in her mind just now?
Chu Liuzheng was counting the fish in Miss Zhu's pond.
[The eldest grandson of a doctor in the Ministry of Personnel, the son of a deputy minister in the Ministry of Revenue, the son of the left junior minister in the Ministry of Rites, the son of the right governor of the Central Army, and the heir apparent of the Shunjun Prince's mansion—a total of five, yet she manages to navigate them all without revealing a single flaw. I'd like to call Miss Zhu the new generation's master of time management!]
[At my busiest time, I had to deal with three of them in one day. Every time, I was frantically teetering on the edge of a car crash. It was a heart-pounding experience. Tsk tsk, with this kind of operation, I hope the beauty really didn't lose. These two are not on the same level.]
Chu Liuzheng was filled with admiration.
She just thought that the eldest daughter of the Zhu family was a white lotus, but she didn't expect that she was a white lotus in the world of time management. With this operation, anyone else would fail in minutes.
"Sister Zhu, you're so confused! If you have this talent, why are you entertaining men? Wouldn't it be better to just start teaching and become a master? You'll be able to make a lot of money by recruiting cultivators! Don't be so stingy with money! !"
Her tone was full of disappointment!
Even with the development of modern Internet, it is still difficult to find your ideal partner. It was even more difficult in ancient times when the cost of information circulation was extremely high.
Although the customs of the Sheng Dynasty were more open than those of the previous dynasties, it did not restrict women from being kept in seclusion and not seeing outsiders.
Invite your girlfriends to go shopping and have tea, go on a spring outing, go horseback riding and play ball, take a walk by the river and visit the night market with the man you like, etc. As long as you don't cross the line, the adults in the family will not interfere too much.
However, will the effect be the same if you only talk to one person or talk to several people at the same time and then choose one?
In ancient times, getting married was as important to a woman as being reborn. Once married, her life for the rest of her life was basically determined, and her honor and disgrace depended entirely on her husband.
Who doesn’t want to marry a perfect husband?
Who doesn’t want to choose the best of the best, to be spoiled by parents at home and to be spoiled by a husband after marriage?
Chu Liuzheng dared to guarantee that as long as the eldest daughter of the Zhu family was willing to teach, there would be a lot of girls who would come to learn with money in their pockets.
These are all business opportunities and money!
Chu Liuzheng wished he could sacrifice himself in his place!
Xiao Jingfan glanced at her.
Opening a class to become a master? And also accepting cultivators? Does this woman know what she is talking about?
If this word gets out, this woman will be spitted to death by those great scholars from aristocratic families!
"Master, we have arrived at the palace."
The carriage slowly stopped and Zhou Yuande knocked on the carriage to remind them.
Chu Liuzheng quickly withdrew his mind from the system, got out of the carriage first, opened the curtain and waited for Xiao Jingfan to come out.
Because Shunjun Prince's Mansion invited many people, even with servants guiding the carriages to stop, the street where Shunjun Prince's Mansion was located seemed a bit congested.
Chu Liuzheng and his companions' carriage was parked at the very end, some distance away from the gate of Prince Shun's Mansion.
She turned her head and looked back, and found that there was another carriage coming this way.
The men and women passing by, regardless of age, were all dressed respectably, and the young ladies and noble ladies were adorned with pearls and jade, looking very luxurious.
Chu Liuzheng looked down at his plain clothes and thought to himself that it was a mistake. He should have worn something brighter.
Being simple and plain also depends on the occasion. It may not be eye-catching when you wear it on a normal day, but it will look out of place and stand out among a group of people dressed elegantly.
[Alas! It seems I can't just make clothes in dull colors. I'll make two sets of brighter ones tomorrow, just in case.]
Chu Liuzheng pursed his lips, ignoring the overt or covert stares, and moved to stand with Xiao Anzi.
Xiao Jingfan looked over and a slight frown appeared between his brows.
Xiao Anzi's body stiffened, and he secretly winked at Chu Liuzheng.
—Auntie, please, please go over there quickly! His Majesty’s gaze is killing me!
Chu Liuzheng would no longer make such a low-level mistake as mistaking a wink for an eye cramp. She quickly understood what Xiao Anzi meant and moved to stand behind Manager Zhou.
[Oh, I knew I was wearing something too plain. I'd stand out in the crowd and easily expose the tyrant. Thanks to Xiao Anzi for reminding me. It's still Eunuch Zhou who's fatter, so he can block me.]
If Xiao Anzi could hear this voice, he would probably burst into tears.
It’s not that I don’t have it, don’t talk nonsense!
Zhou Yuande was much calmer than his apprentice. He stepped aside to let Chu Liuzheng out.
——Your Majesty, you can stare at people however you want, and he promises that it won’t be an eyesore.
Chu Liuzheng:?
[Isn't it just to help block it? When did Eunuch Zhou become so stingy? ]
"Master, there are so many people here, it's better to let Master Xie lead the others to clear the area, so that those ignorant people won't bump into you."
Zhou Yuande was really afraid that something might happen to Xiao Jingfan. Ever since Xiao Jingfan came out of the carriage, all his nerves had been tense and everyone looked like an assassin to him.
Commander Xie, who was standing next to him, felt the same way and agreed with him.
He looked at Xiao Jingfan eagerly.
That’s right, you should immediately order the area to be cleared!
"It's okay." Xiao Jingfan ruthlessly ignored the pitiful looks of his two confidants, reached out to brush the hem of his red cloud-embroidered clothes, took a step forward, and walked towards the gate of Shun County Prince's Mansion.
Commander Xie was about to follow the guards when he heard Xiao Jingfan say, "No one is allowed to follow me. I'll go by myself."
"Master!" Commander Xie and Chief Steward Zhou shouted at the same time.
They are afraid of following, so if they are not allowed to follow, isn’t that asking for their lives?
Xiao Jingfan didn't look back. He put one hand behind his back and strode forward, blending into the crowd very naturally.
No one dared to disobey and could only stare at Xiao Jingfan's back without blinking.
Chu Liuzheng was not worried because the tyrant was protected by secret guards. If he really encountered an assassin, it would take until the Jinyiwei came to rescue him.
Seeing the group standing still, the people behind them impatiently urged, "What are you doing standing in the middle of the road? Hurry up and get out of the way!"
Everyone turned around at once, their eyes filled with murderous intent.
——Hurry up! Hurry up and reincarnate!
The clerk from the Ministry of Revenue who was shouting choked, and when he saw who it was, he was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out.
Thank you, thank you, Commander!
The fat man next to him also looks familiar, as if I've seen him somewhere before... Wait! He's pale, beardless, plump, and has a mole on his chin. Isn't this the eunuch Zhou who serves His Majesty?
Damn! Why are these two evil stars here?
The pupils of the Ministry of Revenue clerk trembled as he stared at Commander Xie's blue uniform, feeling extremely sad and angry!
Didn’t we say that the Jinyiwei would wear flying fish uniforms when traveling?
If you had put on some clothes, I would have died and never would have yelled like that! !
