Seeing her unyielding look, Jin Xiangrong finally sighed and said, "Chu'er, I know you were worried that we would be scared, so you didn't alert us, but do you understand that if you get into trouble because of this? But we don’t know anything, how sad and resentful will we be the next day that we know nothing and put you in danger alone?”
When Jin Shichu heard what he said, he suddenly felt that he seemed to have done something wrong. Thinking about it from his perspective, if she was the one who was being kept secret, other family members would be in danger alone and might even get hurt, but she was always in danger. Knowing nothing, wouldn't she be afraid and resentful that she couldn't help?
Thinking about it like this, she felt a little guilty and said, "Dad, it was my fault. I will definitely tell you if something like this happens again in the future."
"That's right, we have all lived to this age, what else have we not experienced? Could we still be scared by a little thief? Even if we can't help, at least we can scare away the thief with the strength of numbers. Thief..." Jin Xiangrong sighed, "If something happens to you, how can I be worthy of your mother?"
So, Jin Shichu not only failed to convince her biological father, but was persuaded by her biological father. She thought that the worst she could do was make some poison and give it to her family so that they could use it for self-defense. Even if there were thieves breaking in in the middle of the night, No longer afraid to enter.
Chen Shu quickly brought Ren Yazi, and Ren Yazi brought a series of twenty or thirty slaves to Jin's house, specially for Jin Xiangrong and Jin Shichu to choose.
Jin Shichu only selected a cute and clever little girl to be his personal maid, named Zhichun, while the rest of the servants were selected by Jin Xiangrong, Chen Shu and Aunt Guan.
In the end, they selected three male servants: one Jin Xiangrong's personal attendant, two doormen and bodyguards; and two maids, a dedicated cook and a maid who did housework. Chen Shu and Aunt Guan were upgraded to become household servants The chief steward and the housekeeper are in charge of several new servants in the family.
Fortunately, the Jin family's house was large enough to accommodate several additional servants, and the house was also very lively. Jin Shichu felt that his living standard had improved a lot, especially the new cook who was very good at cooking. Cooking a lot of dishes, Jin Shichu ordered dishes in different ways every day. He ate happily and worked harder in martial arts.
Since a new servant was added to the family, the thief has never visited Jin's house again. Jin Shichu was vigilant for several nights with no results, so he didn't pay much attention to it. He was lucky enough to escape last time, but next time if he dares Next time, Jin Shichu will definitely not let him escape again. Even if he can't keep him with martial arts, he will use poison.
Naturally, the thief would not come again, because he was not a real thief and did not care about their family's money; it was Zhai Yuecheng who only cared about Jin Shichu's unique aura that could suppress his violent and murderous spirit.
In fact, afterwards, Zhai Yuecheng also realized that his behavior that night was too much like a prostitute or a flower picker, as if he went to visit a girl's boudoir at night. It was very inappropriate, so it was impossible for him to go there again.
However, his contacts with Jin Xiangrong did not decrease. He either made excuses to ask Jin Xiangrong for lessons, or he found some good poems, paintings, etc., and took them to discuss and appreciate with Jin Xiangrong... So gradually, Jin Xiangrong regarded him as a I have been friends for many years and admire him very much.
"Brother Zhai, what's going on with you recently? You seem to be working harder. You used to run very fast after class and didn't want to waste any time in the academy. But now why do you stay after class to ask for help? Especially After attending Jin Fuzi's class, you seemed to be a completely different person, so active and diligent that you put other classmates to shame..." Zhou Pan, a classmate of Zhai Yuecheng, raised his arms and hugged Zhai Yuecheng, and asked with a smile.
Zhai Yuecheng moved his shoulders, shook off Zhou Pan's arm unceremoniously, and said, "Don't you allow me to suddenly become angry and work hard to make progress?"
"You want to work hard?" Zhou Pan looked at him in surprise, "Didn't you say that you came to the academy to study just because the environment here is good and it is good for you to recuperate? I thought you were here to eat and wait. Damn it, why do you suddenly have to work hard to make progress?"
Zhai Yuecheng thought to himself that he did come here to study because the lush vegetation on the back hill of Qingyang Academy was helpful in soothing the pain of his soul. It was not wrong to say that he wanted to recuperate his body, but now he had a better goal. Do you have to change something and work hard to make progress?
When Zhou Pan saw that he was silent, he couldn't wait to find a reason for him: "I know! You must have been forced by your family, right? Are you preparing to take the imperial examination? My father has also disliked me for not being motivated recently. , I didn’t even get admitted as a scholar, and the people who said they wanted to pick a better daughter-in-law for me didn’t look down on me..."
Zhou Pan complained endlessly. When Zhai Yuecheng heard what he said, his eyes lit up. He grabbed Zhou Pan's arm and asked him eagerly and excitedly: "What did you just say?"
"What did I say? I said my father disliked me for being unmotivated..." Zhou Pan said.
"That's not it!" Zhai Yuecheng shook his head.
"My father picked a wife for me, and others looked down on me..." Zhou Pan said tentatively again.
"Yes! That's it!" Zhai Yuecheng's eyes were astonishingly bright, and he felt that he had caught the most important point! Why is he trying so hard to build a good relationship with Jin Xiangrong these days? Isn't it just to get close to his daughter?
But now there is the simplest and strongest way to get close to Jin Shichu, and that is to marry her directly and make her his wife, so that she will belong to him forever... The more Zhai Yuecheng thought about it, the more he felt that this plan was feasible. Why didn't he think of it before?
And in this era, it is very normal for a student to marry the daughter of his teacher. Of course, the student must please the teacher.
During this period, he spared no effort to develop "common hobbies" with Jin Xiangrong, and he had already reached the point where they liked each other. Jin Xiangrong admired him very much, but this appreciation was not enough for him to let his daughter get married, because what else could Zhai Yuecheng do now? Jin Xiangrong, who loves his daughter, is unlikely to let him marry his daughter if he is a bald student without even taking the exam.
So Zhai Yuecheng had a new short-term goal, which was to obtain fame.
"Brother, thank you!" Zhai Yuecheng patted Zhou Pan on the shoulder gratefully, thanking him for waking him up.
"What are you thanking me for?" Zhou Pan was confused when he heard what he said.
"Thank you for reminding me that if you want to marry a good wife, you must get a good academic record." Zhai Yuecheng said with a smile.
Zhou Pan suddenly became happy and laughed and said: "Brother Zhai! So you want to get a wife, hahaha... I thought you had no interest in getting married and having children!"
Zhai Yuecheng thought to himself that he was indeed not interested in getting married and having children, but wasn't this for the sake of his own life?
