Chapter 138 Different Strategies
"Dad, Mom, this 'Women's College' is too scary. They even let the Gu girls from Southern Xinjiang guard the gate. I want to drop out!"
Master Xiangxiang had prepared a lot of words in her mind, but when she saw her parents, the first sentence she said involuntarily was what she wanted to say most.
Her eyes were red and tears were welling up in them, and there was a hint of grievance and fear in her voice.
Shi Shengsheng has always followed her elder sister's lead, and seeing her elder sister like this, she couldn't help it.
Tears instantly burst out like a dam, flowing uncontrollably: "Daddy, Mommy, we are so scared."
The governor's wife was immediately distressed, and quickly turned her head and looked at her husband carefully. "Master, how about letting Xiangxiang and Shengsheng drop out of school? Our daughters don't need to rely on some colleges to add brilliance."
The teacher and the student are all concerned about their daughter and do not want to have a conflict with his wife.
However, in his heart, there are many things more important than his daughter. Teacher Shengmin considered in his heart, his eyes slightly shifted.
The servant immediately bowed and handed over a thin list of secret recipes: "Madam, take a look at this first."
"This is..." The governor's wife looked puzzled, but still took the thin paper from the servant.
The governor's wife was also from a prominent family, so she naturally knew what any of the secret recipes above meant. "Master, are these all true?"
Teacher and student nodded and said, "Xiangxiang and Shengsheng can go back to school as usual after their vacation. In the future, you should show more respect to the Fan family and that woman!"
The governor's wife was quite unwilling in her heart, "Master, let me be frank, with so many secret recipes, any one of them can create a new family. Chu Ci was just an unpopular person in the Chu family before, where did she get so many secret recipes?"
When the teacher and the student heard this, their eyes suddenly became stern, "Madam, if you want to die, don't implicate me."
Hearing this, Yuan felt even more aggrieved: "Master, why have you become so cowardly now? Even a large number of ants can kill an elephant. Besides, you are the governor of Lianzhou, the governor of Lianzhou..."
Before Yuan finished her words, she heard a "snap" sound and the teacher and student dropped their chopsticks to the ground. "Yuan, I have warned you, if you want to die, don't let me get involved!"
Once again being humiliated by her husband as a servant, Yuan's eyes were slightly red, tears welled up in them, and her voice trembled a little: "Master, what do you mean? I am only thinking about our family, but you treat me like this..."
Shi Shengmin and Yuan were a young couple, and they were very sad to see his wife crying so sadly.
His heart suddenly softened and he waved to the servant behind him, who then told the maids and old women in the room to leave.
When only the four members of the Shi family were left in the room, Shi Shengmin sighed and said, "Madam, have you forgotten everything I said to you before?"
Although Yuan's eyes were filled with tears, she quickly controlled her temper when she saw that the teachers, students and people had calmed down.
She tried to think hard and soon remembered the conversation between the couple after the banquet. "Master, do you mean that the emperor is behind Chu Ci?"
Shi Shengmin shook his head and said, “Even if the emperor has the ability to go against all the noble families, he will not do so.”
"Then..." Yuan was delighted when she heard that it was different from what she had guessed. Just as she was about to speak, she was stopped by her daughter Shi Xiangxiang. "Mother, please listen to what father has to say first."
Upon hearing this, teachers and students looked at Shi Xiangxiang with admiration.
Then he said, "Since I learned about the deal between Chu Ci and General Yuan, I have investigated it privately. But I have tried every possible way and still cannot find out the origins of the things in Chu Ci's hand."
"I only heard vaguely that Chu was adopted by a powerful hidden family when he was young, but when I checked the 'flower-growing' family, I couldn't find any information. Madam, Xiangxiang, Shengsheng, do you know what this means?"
After hearing this, Shi Xiangxiang was startled and said, "My daughter understands. Either the Chu family's identity is flawed and everything is fake; or the 'flower-growing' family is too powerful, so powerful that it surpasses all the families in the Great Zhou Dynasty, including the royal family."
After coming to this conclusion, most of the little thoughts in the governor's wife's mind disappeared immediately.
But Shishengmin felt that this was not enough, and added: "Madam, I once said that Chuci holds the imperial sword bestowed by the emperor, so he can kill first and report later."
At this moment, not only the wife of the governor, but even the sisters of the master's family felt weak.
Shi Xiangxiang asked anxiously: "Father, what about Yun Guo..."
Shi Xiangxiang was extremely worried, fearing that Chu Ci would use the Yun Guo incident to deal with the Shi family.
Shishengmin understood his daughter's worries. "Don't worry, the matter has already passed. You sisters can stay in the Women's College in the future. If what is written here is true, I will give each of you 30% of the secret recipe profit."
Similar conversations occur in many students' homes.
This is naturally also the strategy that Chuci formulated against officials, aristocratic families, and wealthy families.
As for common women, Chu Ci's method was more direct. She asked Xiao'er to make a special trip and buy peppers at the price of 50 cents per catty in front of the students who were taking the cooking class.
Isn’t this the pepper they use in their daily classes?
Immediately, a smart person found Fan Qianxi who was teaching and asked: "Teacher, can students grow this pepper at home?"
Fan Qianxi nodded and said, "Of course."
But just as the students were delighted, Fan Qianxi changed the subject: "But before planting, you must be familiar with every step of pepper planting, as well as the diseases and pests that may be encountered during the pepper planting process. After all, we can't ruin the reputation of the college, right?"
"Yes." Those who were able to be sent to the academy in the first batch all had good family conditions. Therefore, not only were they not in a hurry, but they were also inspired to fight.
And this is exactly what Chu Ci and Fan Qianxi had discussed.
The effect is surprisingly good.
As a result, the news spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred, and many people told their family and friends about it after returning home.
Fifty cents per pound. Even if more people grow it in the future and the price is not as high as it is now, it is still a considerable income for the people who make a living from the land!
The more they thought about it, the more excited they became. Many families who learned the news had the idea of sending their daughters to the "Future Girls' College".
Of course, there are pros and cons.
There are also many families who favor boys over girls and they complain about why the "Future Women's College" does not accept boys.
Some even maliciously speculated that the teachers of the "Future Women's College" opened such a college because they were abandoned and unwanted.
At first, such remarks were only spread by some gossipers when they were bored.
Since it didn't reach his ears, Chu Ci pretended not to know.
Until one morning, a woman who was so thin that she was almost skin and bones and covered with patches on her body knelt at the gate of the college.
