Chapter 189 A Little Shelter
Madam Tan took the opportunity to express her loyalty: "Your Highness, the Tan family has businesses in many prefectures and cities. With your blessing in recent years, it has expanded a lot."
She took off the token from her waist and presented it with both hands: "If Your Highness is lucky enough to drive to the Tan family after leaving the capital, show this token and they will definitely treat you as a guest of honor."
"I will write a few letters, Your Highness, take them with you, they can also serve as proof."
As he spoke, a figure suddenly appeared in the room.
He fell to the ground from a great height, and because he was wearing a mask, his face could not be seen clearly.
The whole body is filled with murderous aura.
Faced with the person who suddenly appeared silently, Mrs. Tan's voice was stuck.
The change in her expression made Bei Jingchu's hair stand on end, and he quickly turned his head back.
At this time, Madam Tan reached out, grabbed Bei Jingchu's arm and pulled him behind her.
"Your Highness, beware of assassins!"
Appearing behind someone so silently, he looked like an assassin planning a sneak attack.
Mrs. Tan became completely tense.
How did this person get in? Why is there no movement at all?
It's probably too late to call the guards now.
She grabbed the princess tightly and dragged her behind her.
If something happened to Princess Tianzhen here, the Tan family would be finished.
Bei Jingchu frowned slightly, her arm hurting a little from being pinched.
But Mrs. Tan stood in front of her to save her.
Bei Jingchu didn't say anything.
She pried her hands apart and soothed her: "It's okay, this person is mine."
Isn't this familiar mask the secret guard that Aye gave her?
Why did you come down?
But she didn't want to expose the secret that the royal family had secret guards in front of others.
He said to Madam Tan: "I know what you mean."
"I will also remember your concern for my safety and your act of protecting me with your own body."
"You don't need to deposit this year's profits into my account. Keep them for yourself."
Mrs. Tan made a rough estimate in her mind and quickly figured out what a huge number it was.
He couldn't help but reveal a look of ecstasy on his face.
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Bei Jingchu asked her to stand up with a little pride: "You are with the right person. I am always generous to my own people."
Mrs. Tan nodded madly in her heart. She was really generous. She was not so generous even to her own employees.
Although they are both the boss, His Highness is much more kind and gentle than her.
"I've accepted the token and will be waiting for your letter."
"It's getting late today. Goodbye."
Madam Tan bowed and said, "I respectfully send you off, Your Highness."
After Bei Jingchu left, Madam Tan thought about the momentary joy she felt when His Highness praised her just now, and how she became even more devoted to him after receiving the reward.
Suddenly I understood something.
In the past, in order to cut costs, she paid her subordinates very low wages.
But profit moves people.
If she wants her subordinates to be more obedient to her, she should not be too greedy in giving them the benefits.
She immediately ran to her desk and started writing down the new reward and punishment system.
The Tan family recruited a group of talented people because of their generous remuneration and good treatment of workers, but further development is another story.
Bei Jingchu led Yan Zhong out and invited him to get on the carriage.
"What's going on? Why did you suddenly show up?"
"Is there any danger around?"
Yan Zhong apologized: "Please forgive me, my subordinate was not hiding well and fell down."
Is that so...
She couldn't see Yan Zhong's expression under the mask, but she could tell that his voice was a little weaker today: "Your Highness, I have an unreasonable request."
"Can you please not tell anyone else about this?"
Bei Jingchu asked: "Will you be punished?"
"yes."
"Sure." The little girl said in a clear voice.
I didn't expect that he would agree so easily. Yan Zhong's eyes widened for a moment.
"You've protected me for five years. This is nothing. Of course I will help you."
"Thank you... Your Highness."
When the teachers from Botang came back, Si Ye told them that there was one more student.
The teachers didn't take it seriously.
"Come on, that's perfect. With one more person, we can finally have ten students."
They are very pleased: "The children these years have good qualifications. Back then, there were fewer students than teachers."
The dean warned, "This student is not ordinary. You must take good care of him."
"Her safety cannot be compromised."
The teachers were puzzled: "Whose noble son is this?"
"But, all the students in Hongwenguan are from noble families, and no one is more special than anyone else."
"Why are you paying special attention to the new one? She's not a prince or princess."
As far as they knew, His Majesty's eldest child was still a baby and had no chance of entering the Bo Hall.
However, the secretary then said, "It is indeed a princess, your Majesty's eldest daughter."
"So everyone, please keep a close eye on His Highness."
The originally quiet teahouse suddenly exploded.
One of them stroked his beard and sighed: "Last year, Bei Qin came to Botang."
"He is the best student I have ever taught, but he said that his cousin, Princess Tianzhen, is much smarter than him."
"I thought he was just flattering me. I told him that we are so far away from the capital, and the princess can't hear him saying this."
"The result is still..."
"By the way, how old is the princess?"
Si Ye paused for a moment, trying hard to control his facial features.
Because, thinking that these old guys would have the same expressions as he had when he first heard the news, he couldn't help but laugh.
When he told his age, the teachers were all shocked.
"This, this, this... are those people in the hall letting you off the hook in order to please His Majesty?"
A teacher with a straightforward personality questioned directly: "I don't believe it. This is no longer a small problem. This is clearly a child's."
“No matter how gifted a child is, he or she can never have the mind of an adult.”
"How did she pass the strategy test?"
The colleague beside him pulled him back and whispered through gritted teeth: "Keep your voice down!"
"Your Majesty makes all the decisions on the policies of the heir apparent, so be careful with your words!"
The upright teacher then forced himself to shut up.
After the secretary left, he couldn't help but say: "Botang students are all supposed to assist officials in governing the state."
"How could a baby who doesn't even know if he's been weaned be capable of such things?"
"This concerns the people, how can we take it lightly?"
Although he didn't dare to say it, he was convinced in his heart that it was the emperor who indulged the child and did things his way.
"How old is she?"
"Can you bear the hardship of traveling with us?"
"When the road gets tough, will we still have to comfort the children?"
Master You, who liked Beiqin the most, advised: "Brother Shu, don't think the situation is so bad."
"When Bei Qin came last year, didn't we also think he was too young and worried that he wouldn't be able to handle the situation?"
"It turns out that boy is the smartest and most intelligent student."
"Since he praised Princess Tianzhen for her beauty and intelligence, she must be good."
Master Shu stamped his feet anxiously, "It's not bad, but she's still too young. I even doubt whether she is sensible or not."
