Back and forth: I brought supplies to help the impoverished prince

Chapter 232: The Unchanging and Fickle Human Heart

After enduring the scorching summer, autumn has arrived, but the heat remains and the temperature remains high.

The number of students in Yun County's schools has reached an unprecedented high in history. Originally there were only ten schools, but due to the large number of students, they had to increase to eighteen. A total of 594 students studied in these eighteen schools.

Qiao Shinian sat in the teachers' lounge and looked at the student information sent by Wen Jiu. After turning the pages, his brows frowned involuntarily. There were only eighty-three girls among the nearly six hundred people.

She sighed heavily, and when she opened her eyes again, only identification remained in them.

"Yingzhu."

"Girl." Yingzhu came in from outside.

"How is the construction of the school supervised by Qingshan going?" Qiao Shinian looked up and asked.

Yingzhu frowned in embarrassment and shook her head: "I don't know yet. I'll have to ask in the evening. Miss, you sent all the people around you away. Now I'm the only one by your side. You know, we must have someone to guard you."

Qiao Shinian nodded, closed the materials and stood up: "It's time to teach the children."

Ever since Wen Jiu began to rule Yun County with his own methods, Qiao Shinian had unknowingly distanced herself from Wen Jiu. When she lived with Wen Jiu, she would only advise him to be kind and not to kill excessively.

Wen Jiu always agreed in front of her, but would still be cruel when she turned around.

Later, Dianxiang told her that this was Wen Jiu's power. When he was wandering outside, a fatherless child would most likely be bullied. Later, when he returned to the palace, he was treated as an abandoned child and sent to the Zhou Kingdom as a hostage. Although he was served by someone, in a sense, he was still at the bottom of the society.

People of the same status as him are respected and powerful, but he is the only one who is neglected.

Now that he has gained power, he will have some kind of emotional catharsis in his heart, and even indulge in the happiness brought by power.

No matter how calm and mature Wen Jiu is, he is just a fourteen-year-old boy, and his life experience since he can remember is only about ten years.

He Huan also nodded and told her that everything she had with Wen Jiu might gradually fade away. Wen Jiu still respected her because of their previous friendship and the close financial relationship with her now. If she always spoiled Wen Jiu's fun, perhaps this friendship would soon change.

After listening to Dianxiang's words, Qiao Shinian was silent for a long time. Looking at Wen Jiu who was becoming more and more unfamiliar, she stopped trying to persuade him, but just looked at him silently, and reflected on whether Wen Jiu was like other people, who could only share hardships but not glory and wealth.

What Dianxiang and the others said to her was not completely without reason. Since ancient times, the only thing that has never changed in the world is the fickle human nature.

She felt that she knew Wen Jiu very well, but in fact, when Wen Jiu did these things, she felt like a stranger to him.

Perhaps, Wen Jiu had never let her truly understand him, and all he gave her was the surface.

Perhaps, she thought that her teaching of Wen Jiu had been very successful. He had become a half-modern man and learned about modern society from her. He shared the same goal as her, which was to make some changes to this feudal dynasty.

But people who understand the modern times and her thousands of years of history might be more careful in establishing a more feudal dynasty and use the most solid outer wall to block the changes and reforms of the times.

Nip in the bud all forces or waves that threaten his power.

Qiao Shinian was worried. Sometimes she felt that Dianxiang and the others were trying to undermine the trust between her and Wen Jiu, but once people heard about their own worries, it was impossible not to think deeply about it.

Just like when you encounter a frightening scene while walking on the road at night, you will always try to find out whether it is real or not. The scarier it is, the more you want to confirm its authenticity.

Qiao Shinian kept denying that Wen Jiu would part ways with her, but in her heart she always wondered what she should do if the two of them really parted ways because of some lies?

She couldn't help but lose more and more confidence in herself, and at the same time, her longing for Mu Qingchen had reached its peak. She missed Mu Qingchen so much.

What she had to do now was to use the power in her hands. Before she parted ways with Wen Jiu, she had to at least make every effort to expand her influence and what she wanted to do.

First, all the teacher resources in Yun County were concentrated, and she was responsible for supervising the teaching quality of students.

So, Yun County needs a school, a school that can accommodate all students.

With this in mind, Qiao Shinian built schools while encouraging women to leave their homes and engage in society.

Cao Yue and Cao Jinhua are now also teachers. Cao Yue teaches women martial arts, while Cao Jinhua teaches science and biology with thick books.

"Sister Qiao!"

"Sister Shi Nian!"

As the school bell rang in the afternoon, Cao Yue and Cao Jinhua came to the teacher's office at the same time.

Qiao Shinian put down the pen in his hand, closed his eyes and rubbed his eyebrows: "Is school over?"

"Yes, what are you writing?" Cao Yue jumped over and lay on Qiao Shinian's shoulder. When she saw the whole page of words, her eyes twitched and she immediately looked away.

"Oh my God, this is such a headache. Sister Qiao, we haven't finished recording yet?" Cao Yue frowned.

Cao Jinhua came over, put down the book in her hand in front of Qiao Shinian, and sighed: "It's really a headache."

After she finished speaking, Cao Jinhua thought of something. She smiled and said to Qiao Shinian, "Sister Shinian, after the fifteen-day holiday, five scholars will come to teach these children. I counted and there will be eighteen classes in total."

Qiao Shinian nodded: "After these fifteen days, the new classroom should have been built, and it's time to redistribute the students and teachers. There are thirty-two teachers willing to come to class, and we need to carefully screen them."

"Never mind, let's go back and eat first, the kids are waiting!" Cao Yue said as she carried Qiao Shinian out, "Today we have spicy diced chicken, my favorite! Ah! Today is such a wonderful day, the kids will have a holiday starting tomorrow, and today I can still eat my favorite dish!"

Cao Yue's vitality infected Qiao Shinian. She thought for a moment and said, "But tomorrow we have to take the children with us to help harvest the rice."

"That's fine! I'm almost bored to death staying in school every day!" Without the control of her parents, Cao Yue completely let herself go. When she was with Qiao Shinian, she didn't have to worry about marrying someone she didn't like, nor did she have to worry about whether she would be disliked by her in-laws in the future.

After dinner, Cao Yue was going to deliver meals to Wen Jiu and others who were working on the farm outside on behalf of Qiao Shinian. The harvest was about to come, and the fields were almost full of people. Everyone slept on the ground to prevent some blind people from stealing food or causing trouble.

"By the way, Sister Shinian, let me tell you, there is a scholar who has been coming to listen to my aunt's class recently, and I feel like there is something fishy going on between the two of them." Before leaving, Cao Yue very unethically told Qiao Shinian a piece of unclear and confusing gossip.

The eyes of Qiao Shinian, who had been lifeless at first, brightened slightly, but Cao Yue had already run out of the courtyard with the lunch box.

Qiao Shinian looked at Cao Yue's cheerful back with resentment, then she curled her lips and waved to Yingzhu: "Keep an eye on it for me. I want to know all the details."

Yingzhu was as if entrusted with an important task: "Don't worry, young lady. I will find out everything for you within three days."
