He roughly guessed what Zhao Yunzhu was planning and waved his hand to order the guards to retreat.
…
Wang Min’s school in Chang’an has been almost completed.
The school will open in three days.
Zhao Yunzhu learned from Nanny Hua that Wang Min, in her own name, used the servants in Prince An's mansion to send invitations to various families in Chang'an.
Let the noble ladies from the aristocratic families visit the school to celebrate its opening.
The invitations sent out seemed to have fallen into the sea.
Wang Min waited patiently for two days, but there was no result.
The school was about to open tomorrow, but no one had sent a reply yet, which made her feel a little uneasy.
"Miss, I heard that Miss Wang is a little restless today. I'm afraid...she might do something irrational and bring trouble to our palace."
Aunt Hua’s worries are not unfounded.
Zhao Yunzhu stood up and said, "Let's go and take a look. We should reassure her and make sure she doesn't lose her mind and do something that would damage the reputation of the palace."
"Miss, I am worried..."
Aunt Hua was even more worried about the safety of her young lady, after all, her young lady was in a heavy condition now.
"Don't worry, Ma'am. I know what's going on. It's fine."
At Zhao Yunzhu's insistence, Nanny Hua ordered Linglong and Xia Yue to follow, and also called four additional maids to follow.
Wang Min was placed by the steward of Prince An's Mansion in a remote courtyard on the westernmost side of the mansion.
This courtyard is very different from the courtyard where Prince Tongan and Zhao Yunzhu lived.
Miss Wang was pacing anxiously in the yard, worrying about the opening of the school tomorrow.
The maid hurried forward in a panic.
"Tell me quickly, which one replied?"
Wang Min grabbed the maid's arms tightly and asked urgently.
"Miss, it's not a reply, it's Concubine Yun who is here and will be here soon."
Wang Min loosened her hands, frowned, pursed her lips, finally forced a smile, and went out with her maid to greet him.
Seeing Zhao Yunzhu surrounded by a group of people, she looked like the moon surrounded by stars. The silk and satin on her body and the pearl hairpins in her hair were all priceless.
The jealous anger in Wang Min's heart almost burst out of his eyes.
But thinking of his current situation, he lowered his eyes to suppress the anger in his eyes, and when he raised his eyes again, he had already put on a friendly and amiable smile.
She knelt and bowed, "Concubine Yun."
"I heard that the school will open tomorrow, so I thought I'd come over to congratulate Miss Wang in advance and ask for an invitation so I can go over tomorrow to add to her joy."
Zhao Yunzhu said with a smile.
She knew that Wang Min had sent many invitations to various families in Chang'an, but not to her.
In the end, the invitations sent out fell into oblivion, and she, who did not receive any invitations, came to ask for one.
Wang Min just felt it was extremely ironic.
"It's my great honor that Concubine Yun has come to visit me," Wang Min said modestly. Then she turned and instructed the maid behind her, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and get the invitation I prepared for Concubine Yun."
"Yes, I will get it right away."
The maid's face froze. When did her mistress prepare an invitation for Concubine Yun?
But seeing the young lady's slightly angry look, the maid retreated respectfully.
"Concubine Yun, why don't you come in and sit down?"
"No, Miss Wang has a lot on her plate, so I won't cause you any more trouble."
Zhao Yunzhu smiled and declined Miss Wang's invitation.
Soon the maid brought the invitation, and Nanny Hua took it. Only then did Zhao Yunzhu leave with her people.
The next day, Wang Min went to the school early to make arrangements.
Because the school was free, poor families in Chang'an heard that this girls' school not only recruited girls from poor families to study and learn to read, but also provided breakfast and lunch.
Families who initially did not want to send their daughters to study here, when they heard that two meals would be provided, naturally decided not to eat at home.
In total, many families in Chang'an City sent their daughters to study.
The school, which could originally accommodate fifty people, was suddenly filled with hundreds of girls.
The female teachers who taught in the school were all invited by Wang Min after a lot of effort.
The annual fee for hiring these female teachers was thirty taels per person. They had to eat and live in the school, and the school was located in Chang'an City, so the annual rent cost one hundred taels.
Wang Min looked at the girls who were sent in one after another, and his mind was in a mess.
This was completely beyond her expectations.
But the person has already been sent, and she can't refuse to accept him.
In order to maintain her good reputation, she could only force a smile and accept these children.
But the female teacher in the school felt overwhelmed when she saw the huge number of students.
Several people gathered together and came to Wang Min, and spoke awkwardly, "Ms. Wang, we agreed before that we would only recruit more than 50 people, and now there are suddenly so many more..."
"Miss Wang, please be considerate of us. We are in a difficult situation. With so many people, it's impossible for a few female teachers like us to take care of them all."
"Then what do you mean now?"
Wang Min was having a headache looking at so many students, and the female teachers in the school also gathered together.
If this isn't forcing her, then what is?
"Ms. Wang!"
Seeing that Wang Min's tone was a little bad, the female teachers also had some reputation in Chang'an. In the past, they were always invited many times before they were invited to the mansion to teach the young ladies.
I have never suffered such injustice.
The reason I agreed to hire Miss Wang was simply because of the good deed she had done.
The current situation is so different from what they expected that they cannot accept it for the time being.
Someone was whispering nearby.
Wang Min was angry again. "I paid you a lot of wages. Thirty taels a year, which is much higher than what you were paid before!"
The female teacher, who was still struggling with her feelings, heard Miss Wang talking about wages.
The masters are most disgusted with money in the secular world and have their own pride.
The female teacher who stepped forward immediately had a look of dismay. "Ms. Wang, please find another job. I cannot live up to your kindness."
"Haha, I didn't expect you guys are just empty names. I thought you were different from everyone else, but it turns out you're just people who are chasing fame and reputation for money!"
Wang Min had never encountered such grievances before. When she saw several people surrounding her, she gave up and refused to work.
How could Miss Wang accept this?
Since she couldn't keep them, she might as well remove the fig leaf of these teachers, so that she would feel better.
"You! Miss Wang! You really disappoint us! If it weren't for your kindness and helpfulness, we wouldn't have given up other high-paying and cushy teaching jobs to come here!"
"Yes! Yes!"
"Miss Wang really underestimates us!"
Several teachers began to condemn Miss Wang.
The atmosphere was tense for a moment. Wang Min was about to argue, but the maid behind her tugged at her sleeve and glanced outside the door.
