The next morning, Pan Xiaoxian was unusually late when he went to the government office. Anyway, he had the final say in the girls' school and no one was deducting his salary.
No way, I spent too much energy last night and I need to sleep for a while to recover.
Pan Xiaoxian came to the girls' school and immediately went to find Chen Yuanyuan, preparing to call her into the study to talk.
Before Pan Xiaoxian could leave the study, Zhao Xiangxiang came over.
Zhao Xiangxiang said: "Chen Yuanyuan didn't come today."
Pan Xiaoxian was stunned. At first he thought Chen Yuanyuan had asked Zhao Xiangxiang for leave, but suddenly he remembered that Zhao Xiangxiang was the head of the girls' school.
Zhao Xiangxiang knew that Chen Yuanyuan was not here, so it made sense and she needed to assist Pan Xiaoxian in managing the girls' school.
Pan Xiaoxian left the study: "I'll go to Chen Yuanyuan's house, and you can watch the female officer write the test paper."
Zhao Xiangxiang nodded vigorously. She attached great importance to her current status and would not let down her guard at all.
In the next major and small exams, I dare not say that the results will be better, at least let the female officer maintain the current results.
Pan Xiaoxian came to Chen Yuanyuan's home and found another acquaintance, but the relationship was not good.
"You go back, there is no way I can agree."
Chen Yuanyuan showed a rare angry expression and kicked people out directly.
Fan Chengde said with a cold face: "Your father and I are friends. He asked me to come here to deliver a message. It's not to tell you, but to inform you."
The fathers of Fan Chengde and Chen Yuanyuan were admitted to the Juren Examination in the same year, and they were close friends in the same year.
The relationship is extraordinary and you can speak like an elder.
Fan Chengde held the air of an elder and said: "Now that you have come out, as a woman and a daughter, you must make contributions to the family."
"Devotion?"
Pan Xiaoxian walked over and said with a sneer: "Why don't you contribute to the family? Don't pay attention to him."
Chen Yuanyuan met Pan Xiaoxian before and didn't feel much at all. She just felt that he was a relatively kind teacher.
The friendly feeling also comes from Pan Xiaoxian's superb ability as an imperial cook.
As long as you are a woman, even if you have a pure heart and believe in Bodhisattvas, you will still be interested in delicious food.
I don't know what happened today, but Chen Yuanyuan felt at ease when she saw Pan Xiaoxian coming.
Found the backbone.
When Fan Chengde saw Pan Xiaoxian coming to disrupt the situation, he began to lecture people like a boss: "You should leave quickly, you have no place to speak here."
The first level of officialdom crushes people to death.
If any boss gets angry, his subordinates will be frightened and trembling.
Pan Xiaoxian ignored Fan Chengde, walked to Chen Yuanyuan and asked, "What happened? Don't be afraid. The teacher will make the decision for you."
Chen Yuanyuan didn't want to talk about her family affairs to outsiders, but she still said it.
The family knew that Chen Yuanyuan had left Jiming Temple and planned to marry her to a senior official in the capital.
Build relationships and enhance the family's power.
Pan Xiaoxian glanced sideways at Fan Chengde and said impatiently: "Whether you want to get married or not is Chen Yuanyuan's business. No one else can interfere, let alone you, a person with a foreign surname. If you don't leave, I will report to the government."
As long as you report to the official, you can use the empty door to drive away Fan Chengde.
By that time, neither party looked good on their faces.
Fan Chengde said with a gloomy face: "What you said about parents ordering a matchmaker is really a joke. There is no reason in the world for a woman to make her own decisions. It is her parents who arrange the marriage."
Pan Xiaoxian opened his mouth, wanting to refute, but couldn't say anything to refute.
Because Fan Chengde is telling the truth.
Women cannot choose a husband they are satisfied with. They can only accept the arrangements of their parents and wait until the wedding day to see their husbands.
Ugly or short, sick or lame.
Everything can only be accepted.
Pan Xiaoxian knew that he couldn't stop him and was not qualified to stop him, so he could only drive Fan Chengde away first.
When Fan Chengde saw that Pan Xiaoxian didn't speak, he walked directly outside and left cursing: "I have never seen a subordinate like you. If you don't obey your boss's arrangements, don't even think about getting promoted in this life."
It is precisely because the power of promotion is not in the hands of the boss.
Only then would Pan Xiaoxian be confident: "It's not up to you to decide whether I will be promoted or not."
"snort!"
Fan Chengde snorted coldly, shook his sleeves and left.
Wait until there is no one else in the house and everything becomes quiet.
Pan Xiaoxian said: "If you really don't want your family, why not go back to Houshan to live for a while, and then come back when your parents no longer want you to get married."
Chen Yuanyuan shook her head: "I can't escape. I'm only a teenager now. Is it possible that I will stay in the back mountain for another twenty or thirty years?"
Twenty or thirty years later, Chen Yuanyuan was already forty years old, and all her good youth was wasted.
Contrary to Concubine Chen's original intention of letting her come out, she still spent her whole life guarding the Qingdeng Ancient Buddha.
Chen Yuanyuan was very worried: "Teacher, help me think of a way."
Chen Yuanyuan's parents were utilitarian and wanted their daughter to marry a high-ranking official in the capital and curry favor with that official.
It doesn't matter if you are sick, as long as you are alive you have to get married.
Chen Yuanyuan's face was scratched?
Pan Xiaoxian just had this thought and quickly killed it. He couldn't bear it.
If you destroy a face as beautiful as a fairy, you will enter the eighteenth level of hell in your next life.
After much thought, there was only one way.
Pan Xiaoxian hesitated, but gritted his teeth and said it out: "I will accompany you back and tell you that we are in love and Concubine Chen has betrothed you to me."
Chen Yuanyuan was stunned.
She never expected that there would be such a method.
Chen Yuanyuan wanted to refuse, but there was no other way except this.
Pan Xiaoxian quickly explained: "My sacrifice cannot be in vain, you have to do me a favor."
sacrifice?
Chen Yuanyuan was speechless. She, a god, married Pan Xiaoxian, but she actually became a sacrifice.
However, these words reassured Chen Yuanyuan.
As long as there are conditions.
It seemed that Pan Xiaoxian was not coveting her beauty.
Chen Yuanyuan asked, "What are the teacher's conditions?"
Pan Xiaoxian said: "You should know that the fee for the female school has increased to ten thousand taels of silver. I am going to Yangzhou this time and I hope you can use your connections to help me recruit ten female students."
The Yangzhou salt merchant is the richest businessman in the world. He spends money like water all day long and spends countless amounts of money.
In the eyes of Yangzhou salt merchants, no matter how much money is money, it is impossible to spend 10,000 taels of silver every year to educate their daughter.
It would be more like a son.
Chen Yuanyuan hesitated, but thought that the more difficult the conditions, the more it showed that Pan Xiaoxian had no lust.
Just to recruit ten female students.
He didn't have any bad intentions towards her.
Chen Yuanyuan finally agreed: "I can only say give it a try, but I can't guarantee that I can help the teacher recruit ten female students."
Pan Xiaoxian showed a disappointed expression.
Chen Yuanyuan added: "However, there is definitely no problem with five female students, at least five. If we are lucky, we can recruit ten female students."
Pan Xiaoxian smiled: "Okay, let's pack our things and go to your house quickly."
As long as ten female students can be recruited in Yangzhou.
There were only twenty people left.
