Zhao Yanxue got off the horse, her body was limp, she held her two beautiful legs together and stood for a while supporting the horse.
Barely able to walk.
Zhao Yanxue glanced at Pan Xiaoxian complainingly, wanting to blame him for taking advantage of the situation, but she couldn't blame him.
Pan Xiaoxian began to talk nonsense seriously: "You also know that riding a horse can't avoid bumps. I can't help it. If I don't hold you tightly, I might fall off the horse."
Zhao Yanxue had no choice but to believe Pan Xiaoxian's explanation: "Let's go, it's time to do business."
Pan Xiaoxian felt happy in his heart. He looked at Zhao Yanxue's graceful back, swaying her hips and walking in front. He couldn't help but start looking forward to the two of them riding back together.
Pan Xiaoxian came to the door of Ambassador Zhao's house and found that something was wrong. The whole house was enveloped in a sad atmosphere.
There seems to be a dead person in the house.
Pan Xiaoxian gave Zhao Yanxue a wink and motioned for her to help inquire about the situation.
Zhao Yanxue asked: "Is there something wrong at home?"
Ambassador Zhao's youngest daughter heard that Zhao Yanxue was coming, so she came to greet her personally and led the two of them towards the living room.
The youngest daughter said with a tearful voice: "The teacher has stayed at my house for a while before and knows the situation at home. Grandma gave birth to a son and a daughter. My aunt died of illness half a month ago."
Before she finished speaking, the little daughter shed tears and wiped the tears on her face with a handkerchief.
Zhao Yanxue stretched out her hand, held her little daughter's palm, and comforted her with a few words: "My condolences, this kind of thing is inevitable. I hope Mrs. Zhao won't be too sad."
Pan Xiaoxian's heart moved and he had a better idea.
"Ha ha."
A familiar laughter came from the living room, and Fan Chengde said: "This time I am doing something for the West Factory. As long as you get things done, Eunuch Tong will never treat you badly."
Ambassador Zhao hesitated: "Pan Xiaoxian is an official of the Imperial College after all, and Liu Rushi is standing behind him. If he offends Liu Rushi behind him, it will also have a bad impact."
Pan Xiaoxian stood at the door of the living room, stretched out his hand and tugged on Zhao Yanxue's skirt, shaking his head.
No need to go in.
Fan Chengde got there first and found Ambassador Zhao first, disrupting the plan to recruit female students.
It would be useless if he didn't take the lead. As long as Fan Chengde came over and showed off the sign of the West Factory, Ambassador Zhao, a businessman, would definitely be scared away.
Zhao Yanxue asked in a low voice: "What should we do now?"
Pan Xiaoxian looked at his little daughter next to him and had an idea: "Let's go visit Mrs. Zhao."
Zhao Yanxue didn't know what Pan Xiaoxian was planning, so they went to visit Mrs. Zhao together, which just suited her wishes.
Mrs. Zhao used to take good care of Zhao Yanxue. She was worried that Zhao Yanxue would not be able to eat well, so she often called Zhao Yanxue over to have dinner with her.
Zhao Yanxue was only responsible for teaching her daughter and niece to study. The food was average and certainly not as good as Mrs. Zhao's.
After so many years, Zhao Yanxue still remembers the kindness of Mrs. Zhao, and sometimes visits Ambassador Zhao at her home.
Mrs. Zhao likes the smart Zhao Yanxue. Since she has few children, she almost treats Zhao Yanxue as her own daughter.
Zhao Yanxue said: "Let's go visit your grandma first."
The little daughter was happy: "Grandma likes the teacher the most. If you come over, maybe you can make grandma feel better."
Mrs. Zhao once had a little daughter who was about the same age as Zhao Yanxue, but unfortunately she died in infancy.
The three of them changed direction, left the door of the living room, and went to a yard next door.
Mrs. Zhao is only sixty years old this year. She is usually in good health and rarely gets sick. She often grows her own vegetables.
Zhao Yanxue almost shed tears when she saw Mrs. Zhao again.
Mrs. Zhao was overly sad and fell ill. She was lying in bed recovering from her illness.
"Old lady."
Zhao Yanxue choked and hurriedly walked to the bedside, holding Mrs. Zhao's palm with both hands: "You have to take care of yourself. There are still many days ahead. Don't worry about anything happening before you see your grandson get married."
Mrs. Zhao had been crying all day long. She shed so many tears that she almost went blind from crying.
I used to see things very clearly, but now I see people in a blur.
Mrs. Zhao seemed to be confused: "Is that you, my daughter? Now that you're back, I know you didn't die of illness."
When the younger daughter heard this, she knew that her grandma was confused again and thought that Zhao Yanxue was her dead daughter.
This is not okay, it is obviously unlucky.
The younger daughter opened her mouth and wanted to explain clearly: "The person who came here today is..."
Before he finished speaking, Pan Xiaoxian stopped him and shook his head: "I have read a lot of medical books and have quite a lot of experience in treating diseases. It's best not to explain clearly at this time. Let's talk to the old lady first." Let’s make you happy and wait until the disease is cured.”
The youngest daughter was grateful: "Thank you very much, Mr. Pan. The doctor came over to see grandma and left medical advice. We must make grandma feel better first, otherwise she won't be able to survive this winter."
When Pan Xiaoxian heard the doctor's advice, the next thing became easier to handle.
It's natural to admit your daughter.
Pan Xiaoxian deliberately showed hesitation: "I do have a way to cure the old lady's illness, but I don't know if Zhao Yanxue is willing to do it."
The youngest daughter asked hurriedly: "Master Pan, please tell me quickly. As long as grandma's disease can be cured, my father will definitely thank the teacher very much."
Pan Xiaoxian said awkwardly: "As long as Zhao Yanxue is willing to accept the old lady as her godmother and the old lady has a daughter, her condition will recover."
The little girl breathed a sigh of relief: "What did I think it was? It turns out it is such a small thing. Teacher Zhao will definitely be willing."
According to his younger daughter's thoughts, Ambassador Zhao, as the leader of Changlu Salt Farm, can be said to be one of the richest Yangzhou salt merchants.
Zhao Yanxue, who is just an ordinary person, is lucky to be able to accept the old lady as her godmother.
In order to increase Zhao Yanxue's worth, Pan Xiaoxian shook his head: "Zhao Yanxue is now a lecturer at the Imperial College for Women. She is an eighth-grade official and is still a relatively rare female official. It is hard to say whether she is willing to recognize her as her godmother."
Zhao Yanxue was stunned. The fact that she was an eighth-grade female officer was obviously a lie.
When it comes to official positions, it can be hidden for a while, but not forever.
Ambassador Zhao sends people to Jinling to inquire, and they will know the real situation.
Zhao Yanxue turned her pretty face and shook her head hastily, signaling Pan Xiaoxian not to lie about his official position.
The younger daughter was surprised: "When did Teacher Zhao become the female official of the Imperial College?"
Pan Xiaoxian said with certainty: "Your father is qualified to go to the palace to celebrate the Queen Mother's birthday. He should be well-informed about official news. He knows that as long as a woman is capable, she will definitely be reused in the palace."
The younger daughter nodded: "Liu Rushi was promoted very quickly because the Queen Mother is in a position to hire people right now, but she doesn't have many capable women to use. Liu Rushi was promoted very quickly."
