Chapter 146 Chapter 145 It’s too hot, please let the housekeeper take a shower, you’re welcome!
An Xin reached out and grabbed Chen Qibao, who was raising his fist to hit someone.
The boy's eyes turned red with anger. He turned around and glared at An Xin who was holding him. He had never suffered such torture before. He worked for half a day, but not only did he not get paid, he even had to pay for food.
How could the once arrogant young master tolerate this?
An Xin smiled and said to the manager who was looking up, "I'm sorry, the child can't speak. You should be magnanimous and don't argue with him."
Just when he was about to get angry and call for someone to deal with their steward, he saw An Xin, who was disguised as a man for convenience, smiling brightly and apologizing, so he snorted coldly: "Since you are quite capable, as long as you pay for today's meal, I won't call for someone to beat you up and drive you away."
The steward raised his head arrogantly and said this as if it were a gift.
Seeing the flattering look on An Xin's face when he spoke to the steward, Yuchi Yi and the others felt a little disappointed.
He touched his sunburned cheek, looked down and saw his trouser legs rolled up high, and his hands that were white from being soaked in water while transplanting rice seedlings.
Several people began to wonder if they had made a mistake by traveling this time.
Only Kong Xun, who had spent some time with An Xin as a teacher and student, looked at her with confusion, but he believed in his heart that Principal An Xiaoshan must have her own intentions in doing this.
Here, An Xin seized upon the personality traits of the manager in front of him and gave him compliments one after another without charging any money.
“I can tell from the first glance that the manager is a smart man. Your landlord has asked you to manage such a large piece of land that covers several nearby villages.
From this perspective, the fields around here all belong to the big landlords. How do the people around here live without land?"
"Humph, a bunch of poor fellows, what do you want with the land?
Our landlord was kind-hearted and bought all their land with silver.
Now they have become tenant farmers, and they don’t have to worry about whether there will be a good harvest every year. As long as they rent the land from our landlord, they will not starve to death.”
But won’t they starve to death? Looking at the people working barefoot in the paddy fields with their trousers rolled up, bending over in the scorching sun, sweating, and planting rice seedlings in fields that are not their own.
After getting what he wanted to know, An Xin pursed his lips.
He looked at the manager with clear eyes, who had no idea where his arrogance came from, and smiled coldly.
"It's too hot, please take a shower, no need to thank me."
The manager was stunned, and didn't react in time to understand what was said.
An Xin lightly raised his leg and kicked the manager into the rice field full of sewage, splashing mud and water.
An Xin's sudden and amazing move stunned the four children.
"Let's go, don't you have money to pay for the meal."
Yuchi Yi, Jiang Chenxi, Gao Tai, and Chen Qibao all reacted and said in unison: "The lady is awesome."
Then he took a look at the housekeeper who was struggling to stand up in the sewage, and saw him spit out the sewage in his mouth and began to curse his own female teacher.
Yuchi Yi picked up the basket that An Xin brought over to deliver food, and without caring that there was a bowl in it, he directly smashed it on the manager's head, making him scream.
The four of them finally let out the anger that had been pent up in their hearts and ran after An Xin in front of them and Kong Xun who was following behind her.
If the four of them still don't understand that An Xin's behavior just now must have his own purpose, then they are really stupid.
The few of them soon arrived at the place where Erhu was waiting for them in a carriage. After getting on the carriage, An Xin ordered them to leave first.
As for the manager who bullied them, and the landlord Qian's family who must have done a lot of immoral things, An Xin first planned to investigate the bad things they had done to see if it was worth her taking action.
Kong Xun, who was sitting next to him, had a faint smile in his eyes. He knew that An Xiaoshan must have her own ideas and intentions for praising the housekeeper so much.
Yuchi Yi and the other three lowered their heads like children who had done something wrong, secretly glancing at their female teacher out of the corners of their eyes, obviously feeling embarrassed for having misunderstood what she had done just now.
An Xin ignored them and leaned against the carriage with his eyes narrowed.
Not knowing what he was thinking of, An Xin suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Kong Xun who was sitting next to him with clear eyes.
"What's wrong?" Kong Xun was confused by her look.
An Xin shook his head to indicate that it was nothing.
Perhaps she understood why the super boss forced the person on her without even saying hello.
Thinking of the many banknotes Kong Xun took out, perhaps they were not just for him, but a disguised gift for her to become his apprentice.
The gift for apprenticeship given by the Jiang family of Cheng'en Mansion is a mansion worth tens of thousands of taels. That girl is much richer than Cheng'en Mansion, so it seems reasonable to give her 100,000 taels of silver as a thank-you gift.
She was originally wondering why Kong Xun didn't have to be given so many banknotes even if he was allowed to travel with her. It turned out that there might be this reason.
And that person knew that Kong Xun could pass the examination and become a scholar, with such a high ranking, if someone had not deliberately prevented him, it should not have been difficult for him to pass the examination and become a juren or jinshi.

This shows that his academic background is already quite solid and he no longer needs to learn any more literary knowledge.
The fastest way to make a person grow is to let him travel and experience the different customs and cultures of different places.
Dealing with all kinds of different people on the road of experience, such close contact also allows Kong Xun to directly observe the different human natures.
With a shrewd father like Emperor Sheng An, as long as Kong Xun is not too stupid, his knowledge after this trip will be far better than that of the several princes who are still staying in the palace and trying to fight for fame and fortune.
An Xin stared at Kong Xun and thought, this person might be the old emperor's true love, otherwise why would he think so thoughtfully and long-term about him.
But if she cared so much about him, why did she secretly raise Kong Xun in the Taifu Mansion and watch him receive such a wasted education?
An Xin's eyes flickered. No matter how you look at it, this seemed like some royal secret that could not be revealed to outsiders.
An Xin understands that curiosity kills the cat.
Besides, An Xin wasn't that curious, so he quickly let the matter go.
Kong Xun noticed that An Xin was staring at him, and his cheeks, which had already turned red from the sun while he was transplanting rice in the morning, became even redder.
His reaction made several disciples who were ashamed of misunderstanding their female teacher just now want to kick him down.
Yuchi Yi and Jiang Chenxi looked at each other, then they turned sideways to block Kong Xun's sight of his female teacher. Only then did they feel that he was not so annoying.
Then they acted like good students who corrected their mistakes and whispered to An Xin, "I'm sorry."
Chen Qibao and Gao Tai followed suit and apologized sincerely: "We shouldn't have misunderstood the teacher. We're sorry."
An Xin knew that they were talking about their previous misunderstanding of her behavior towards the steward, so she reminded them, "In the future, when you look at things, don't just look at the surface."
"Yes, I will keep in mind what the teacher taught me."
This is An Xin and his group's carriage passing through a village.
From there came a man's angry shout: "You scoundrels, robbers, I will fight you to death."
