Back Off, Let Me Come

Xu Jie knew that his senior sister was a strong-minded person with strong ideas. With Shen Jun's temperament, the two of them would most likely hit it off. However, Xu Jie never expected that Senior Sister Ning would actually leave and never come back! When the convoy returned, only Ning Yan was missing.

Xu Jie asked his close subordinates who came back to life.

Holding the handle, he raised his voice in disbelief: "What? You said Senior Sister Ning and the others stayed in Longwu?"

The subordinate nodded heavily.

He handed over a letter written by Ning Yan with both hands.

Xu Jie's fingers were shaking when he took the letter - he had not forgotten the main premise for Ning Yan to stay in Longwu County. Is that Jun Shen really a girl? It took some effort to tear off the paint, take out the letter paper inside, and unfold it in ten lines.

After reading it, he breathed a sigh of relief.

He murmured in his mouth: "I just said how could Mr. Shen be a girl... I was really misled by Wen Shi, a bastard, and it was a false alarm."

In this letter, Ning Yan clearly stated the real reason why she stayed in Longwu County. Her late husband Yan Xing Ning Wenqi transformed into Wu You and died in Yonggu Pass. She lost Yan An and could not even collect his bones, so she thought about growing up. After living in Longwu County for several years, not only could she raise her daughter Nannan with peace of mind, but also allow Nannan to grow up in a place closest to her father, allowing time to heal the pain of losing her husband and father.

Under Shen Jun's rule, Longwu County was in ruins and waiting for improvement, and the security of the place was acceptable. They, mother and daughter, did not have to worry about war if they stayed here temporarily.

As for Shen Jun’s identity as a woman...

Ning Yan didn't mention a word.

Xu Jie can "justify his theory" here.

He carefully collected the letter, smoothed the wrinkles and put it into the wooden box on the side of the desk. He said to his subordinate: "In a few days, you will go to Longwu County again and send some money. Senior sister must have a strong character and don't like it. People are kind and sympathetic, but after all, she is alone with two children, and her life is always inconvenient. If she had more money and money, she would not be too embarrassed."

Why a few days later?

Because the letter also asked Xu Jie to help find several female teachers with solid knowledge, preferably those with good moral character, tolerant personality, and no family background. Xu Jie didn't know much about female teachers. The female teachers in his house were also chosen by his wife when she came to see them.

Searching takes time.

Xu Jie told his wife about this the same day, and she asked puzzledly: "I heard that Mrs. Yan had a famous teacher when she was young, and her knowledge and accomplishments were not better than those of the female teachers who taught her boudoir? If she only teaches the enlightenment of girls in the family, how can a female teacher do that? enough."

"Senior sister didn't explain why..."

The lady couldn't resist the taste of the snack.

"She didn't explain, so you helped her without asking why?"

Xu Jie said: "You can guess some of the reasons without asking. She and Xingning once had the desire to establish a college and inherit the family education. But the current situation does not allow it... She is willing to find something to distract her and forget it for the time being. Widowhood is also a good thing.”

Seeing that Xu Jie was speaking eloquently, the lady couldn't help but ask: "Establishing a college? Then why did you hire a female teacher?"

Xu Jie guessed: "Because the academy students are girls?"

It's not impossible.

Ning Yan has always been very creative.

Even Yan Xingning couldn't resist her kind.

"She is capable of disguising herself as a man to study under her teacher, so it wouldn't be outrageous to build an academy that only recruits girls."

Xu Jie's tone was a bit helpless.

The lady couldn't help but sneer: "The purpose of studying and literacy for rich girls is to support the housekeeper in the future. Longwu County is bitterly cold and remote, and there is not even a decent school... How many students can be attracted by setting up an academy there? Girls from common people's families are not. There are many, but what’s the use of them learning this? It’s not as useful as learning how to farm and weave..."

"Isn't Madam Yan doing this to mislead others? How can a commoner's daughter, who has learned a few things and has a high morale, endure facing the earth with her back to the sky? Isn't she harming others? Besides, she is not subject to food, but where is the institute? for free?"

"Where does this money come from?"

Xu Jie didn't say anything, but just looked at her lightly. The latter was keenly aware of her husband's emotions, pursed her lips, and restrained her curvature.

He asked: "Who else is chatting with you?"

A few simple words made the madam's heart burn brightly: "What are you talking about? Can't it be me who thinks so?"

"If your words were put on other occasions or to other people, I wouldn't say anything to you." Xu Jie understood what the other party was worried about, but at the same time he didn't understand why she was worried, "But Senior Sister Ning is a fellow Senior Sister. My benefactor, I respect and admire her as my husband. To judge our relationship based on the worldly man and woman, I underestimate Senior Sister Ning and completely insult Xu Wenzhu."

Xu Jie didn't get angry, and even his tone was calm, but Madam could see some dissatisfaction from his expression.

She turned her head away in embarrassment and shame, and said sadly: "Conjecture? Worldly men and women? Yes, she has the ambition of Kunpeng, and she is superior to my concubine in every aspect. You and Na Ningtunan had a long talk, you have the same interests and sympathy, I am just a female family member of the inner courtyard, and I only know the trivial matters of being a middle-aged man, but I am not as good as you all, who have great ambitions! Why don’t I want to share the same goals with my master?"

After that, he hid his face and left.

Xu Jie was left alone in the same place, stunned.

After a while, he summoned his confidants for questioning.

"Who has Madam been getting close to lately?"

Because of spring plowing, Xu Jie was homeless for most of the month, and he didn't know who his wife was close to. Furthermore, the inner courtyard has always been the domain of the mistress. As a husband, if he asks too many questions, it will be seen as questioning his wife's ability in the eyes of the whole family.

The steward will tell you one by one.

Xu Jie's face turned dark and dark.

"It's those Tianhai families again... they still don't want to give up!"

Xu Jie is also a rebellious person at heart.

The more things are pushed against him, the more he refuses to do them. The Tianhai family all wanted to get involved in Heyin County, taking a fancy to the fertile fields with two consecutive years of bumper harvests and the rich mineral veins. In today's world, food is more expensive than gold, and no one wants too much food.

But they were all blocked by Xu Jie.

Unexpectedly, they started directly from his backyard.

If you want to make him a house restless, you won't be able to do anything at the same time.

The methods are disgusting enough.

Xu Jie had just had a bad time with his wife, and Xu Jie couldn't let her help find the female master. After much deliberation, he could only handle it by himself and took a trip to Tianhai. Of course, Xu Jie didn't cause any trouble to those families. Instead, he had a meal with his lord Wu Xian.

Convey your position through innuendos.

Discord in the accounts is a taboo. He didn't want to break up with his colleagues. It would make everyone lose face and make Wu Xian's life difficult. Before the conflict is brought to light, it would be better to give them a break early!

Wu Xian said haha, but he didn't give an accurate answer.

After eating a meal, Xu Jie was suffocating.

He hurriedly left and met Zhao Feng, who looked equally unhappy. Xu Jieyou heard about Zhao Feng's situation. The other party returned to Wu Xian's account a month ago to report, but he was absent for two years and was estranged from his former colleagues. The latter had intentionally or unintentionally excluded those who were not from the Tianhai family. Now he behaves It's even more obvious.

They also proposed that Zhao Feng lead troops to farm elsewhere.

As the saying goes: practice makes perfect.

No one is more familiar with this job than Zhao Feng.

He can act like a cow or a horse under Shen Tang's tent. There is no reason to start setting up a general's profile when he returns to the serious lord, right? Zhao Feng had some smiles in the first few days, but kept a straight face the rest.

I am idle at home, picking my feet for more than a month.

When Xu Jie saw him, he immediately felt a sense of sympathy for him.
