Lin Ping'an looked back, only to see Sylvia Lin standing behind him at some point.
Sylvia Lin's eyes were looking at Liu Rushi's back, but there was a half-smile on his face.
Her appearance immediately made Lin Pingan feel guilty. Lin Pingan was not a saint, but a modern person who had traveled back from the 21st century. Naturally, he was not as feudal as the ancients about matters between men and women.
For Liu Rushi, Lin Ping'an felt not only a little admiration and a little pity, but also a little admiration.
This kind of admiration comes from the heart, Lin Ping'an doesn't think there is anything abnormal, but at this moment, listening to Sylvia Lin's slightly teasing tone, he unconsciously feels a little uncomfortable.
So he coughed dryly and asked pretending to be puzzled:
"Yun Shu, what did you just say? Why did you say it would hurt this girl's heart?"
Sylvia Lin knew that Lin Ping'an was pretending. Seeing his embarrassed expression, he stopped continuing the topic, but smiled and said:
"I made some new clothes for you. When the Zhulin Academy opens, you can wear them."
As she spoke, she held up some brand new clothes in front of Lin Pingan, and said with a playful smile:
"I have already thought about it. When the time comes, Rushi and I will both dress up in men's clothes, pretend to be your book boy, and accompany you to the opening ceremony."
"Why do you have to wear men's clothes?"
Lin Ping'an said in surprise: "Isn't it okay to just wear women's clothes?"
Sylvia Lin's expression at this moment was the same as Liu Rushi's before. She widened her eyes and said in the same surprise:
"Master, we are women, how can we enter the academy at will like men?"
Lin Pingan shook his head and said seriously:
"You are wrong to think this way. Men and women have been the same since ancient times. There is no saying that women cannot enter the academy. Listen to me on this matter. When the time comes, you two will wear women's clothes. I just want everyone to know. Men and women are equal in my college. As long as they are willing to come to the college to study, we welcome both men and women."
Sylvia Lin had accepted the feudal ideology that men were superior to women since childhood. When he heard Lin Ping'an's words, he couldn't accept them for a moment and was stunned on the spot.
Lin Ping'an smiled and expressed full understanding of Sylvia Lin's reaction. After all, the concept of equality between men and women is too deviant in this era, and it will definitely take a certain amount of time to be truly accepted.
So he stopped preaching and asked:
"By the way, how is our business lately?"
As soon as this topic was brought up, Sylvia Lin suddenly beamed with joy. She looked at Lin Pingan and said happily:
"Master, I thought you forgot that we still have so much business. Now in Beijing, we have opened three restaurants in a row. My plan is to open five restaurants in total. As for the wine restaurant and perfume shop, the business is also It's surprisingly good, but it's going to be hard for you, Master, because we don't have much wine and perfume in stock."
Lin Ping'an was a little stunned. He really cared little about these things recently, but he didn't expect Sylvia Lin to be so strong in business. He remembered that the last time he made a lot of wine and perfume, how come they were almost sold out in such a short time.
So he patted his head and murmured:
"It seems that we need to expand the scale of wine and perfume production."
Sylvia Lin nodded, "It's not a big concern if it's just in Beijing, but if you want to expand your business to all parts of Ming Dynasty, you really need to expand the scale."
Speaking of this, she was slightly triggered and said with some hesitation:
"It's just that we need to open factories in various places. Otherwise, if we transport it from Beijing to other places, the freight will be a huge expense, but opening a factory is also a huge expense. With our current situation The financial resources do not yet have such ability.”
Lin Ping'an nodded and looked at Sylvia Yunshu with eyes full of admiration. In his previous life, chain management had been used by businessmen with great proficiency. To have such awareness in this era does require a certain amount of business talent.
Sylvia Lin is undoubtedly a person with great business talent.
"There's no need to rush this matter."
He smiled and said: "You have been following your father since you were a child, so you naturally know how important funds are in business. Once the capital chain is broken, it will cause an avalanche effect, and no matter how good the business is, it will collapse in an instant. This is like fighting a war. Before the horse moves, the food and grass go first, this is the principle.”
Sylvia Lin looked at Lin Pingan with admiration and murmured:
"Master, how do you know so much? I really don't believe that you are just a child of an ordinary doctor in Guangning City!"
Today, Lin Ping'an has long been mentally prepared for this kind of doubt. He said calmly:
"I was originally just a child from an ordinary doctor's family in Guangning City. I just met the God of Medicine by chance. From then on, I seemed to have enlightened myself in an instant. This may be my personal destiny."
The look of admiration on Sylvia Lin's face did not change, he nodded repeatedly and said seriously:
"A person who can be enlightened by gods must be extraordinary. Young Master, you just didn't know that you were different before."
Lin Pingan secretly smiled in his heart, but his face was calm and indifferent, but he heard Sylvia Yunshu continue to ask:
"Master, what are your plans for your marriage to Sister Xiaoxiao? Are you really sure that you can beat her?"
Lin Ping'an showed a wry smile, shook his head and said:
"You are so smart, don't you know what Sister Xiaoxiao is thinking?
This matter is extremely difficult to do. Besides, I only regard Sister Xiaoxiao as my older sister. Sooner or later, I must find an opportunity to propose to Your Majesty to cancel the engagement, otherwise I will delay Sister Xiaoxiao. "
Sylvia Lin's big eyes flickered, but there was some doubt in his heart, and he said hesitantly:
"If you propose to His Majesty to break off the engagement, then where is Sister Xiaoxiao's face? If you want to break off the engagement, it is Sister Xiaoxiao who should break off the engagement!"
Lin Ping'an felt that this was reasonable. I remembered the scene when Yan Xiaoxiao stood up for herself at Night Watch Sixth Division that day, and I suddenly felt a little confused. I couldn't help shouting in my heart:
"Sister Xiaoxiao, what are you thinking?"
.
Kunning Palace!
Zhu Youxiao looked at the extremely bright Zhang Yan, shook his head and said with a smile:
"Is that really weird?
Zhang Yan's beautiful eyes rolled around and she asked, "Your Majesty is so happy today. Could it be because of some happy event?"
Zhu Youxiao shook his head: "It's not a happy event, I just saw something so interesting."
As he said this, he sat in front of Zhang Yan and continued with a look of pleasure:
"At today's court meeting, Wei Zhongxian proposed that the court give the Zhulin Academy a title. I thought that this matter would be opposed immediately by Yang Lian and others, but I didn't expect that Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou, Yuan Huazhong, Gu Dazhang and others would The collective seconded the proposal, which made me faint at the time.
And Wei Zhongxian looked even more surprised, as if he had seen a ghost in broad daylight. "
After Zhu Youxiao said this, thinking of the scene at that time, he couldn't help but clasped his hands and laughed again.
Zhang Yan was also shocked when she heard this. Wei Zhongxian, Yang Lian and others are on the same side. This is something everyone knows. In court meetings, if you say left, he will say right. Anyway, it is to sing the opposite tune, which will never happen. This level of consensus is surprising.
Zhu Youxiao took Zhang Yan's hand, patted it gently and said:
"Queen, it seems that your sworn brother is very popular. I really underestimate him."
A gentle smile appeared on Zhang Yan's face and she said softly:
"He is just a child, how can he make friends with these big people? Your Majesty must not misunderstand him."
Zhu Youxiao said oh, he naturally understood what Zhang Yan meant.
Since ancient times, it is not a good thing to form cliques for personal gain. Zhang Yan's words were telling him that Lin Ping'an was young and had absolutely nothing to do with this matter.
So he patted Zhang Yan's hand again and said warmly:
"The Queen is overly worried. I naturally know that this child has a simple heart, but he has been in the limelight recently. Even the leaders of the night watchman are very fond of him. The so-called ordinary man is not guilty, but he is guilty of harboring a treasure. Now he is It’s the meat and potatoes in everyone’s eyes!”
Zhang Yan's heart tightened when she heard Zhu Youxiao's seemingly joking words.
She naturally knows Zhu Youxiao. In the eyes of others, Zhu Youxiao may be an emperor who only knows how to play with wood, but she knows that becoming an emperor is not that simple.
There are many things that Zhu Youxiao just sees and doesn't say, maybe just to steal a moment of leisure. Even so, Zhu Youxiao still has to follow the ancestral rules, get up on time and work on time every day, although it is a bit perfunctory. , but this set of procedures is really tiring to complete.
So Zhu Youxiao is not stupid, but just a little lazy.
What he said today was actually telling Zhang Yan that Lin Ping'an would soon face the problem of how to choose his side. As a young boy of only thirteen years old, he might not have the ability to make such a choice, and Zhang Yan, as Lin Ping'an, might not have the ability to choose. Ping An’s sister should give some advice on this.
Zhang Yan also touched Zhu Youxiao's hand with one of her beautiful hands, and said with a smile:
"I will naturally know your Majesty's thoughts. With me here, the child will naturally not take detours."
Zhu Youxiao nodded, then stood up, stretched and said:
"Okay, there are still some things unfinished in my carpentry workshop."
After saying this, he turned around and left Kunning Palace. Zhang Yan looked at his back in confusion, a look of embarrassment appeared on her face, and she murmured softly:
"Is it hard for me to be alone?"
