You confiscated my property, I exiled you, why are you crying when the treasury is empty?

Su Wanning walked forward and told the doorman to go over and make the announcement.

After a while, Su Wanning was invited in.

Bai Zhi obviously had an impression of Su Wanning. "I thought she was just being polite at first."

As he said this, he poured a cup of tea for Su Wanning.

"It was just talk at that time." Su Wanning said directly.

Bai Zhi obviously didn't expect Su Wanning to admit it directly. Her face froze for a moment, then she quickly adjusted her expression. "Then what changed Miss Su's behavior?"

"Madam is the fourth child in your family, right?" Su Wanning took a sip of tea and looked at Bai Zhi.

Bai Zhi nodded slightly to signal Su Wan Ning to continue. Seeing Bai Zhi's admission, Su Wan Ning also confirmed her guess.

"I heard Bai Ye say before that she was coming to Lingnan to visit her relatives, saying she was looking for her fourth sister. I didn't pay much attention to it at first, until a while ago she said that the school you were planning had not yet chosen a site.

It happened that my house was robbed today. I reported it to the police and met the newly appointed county magistrate of Mu Chaocheng.

When I asked you whether you would continue to build schools after arriving in Lingnan, your answer was yes.

So, you are the fourth sister that Bai Ye mentioned?"

Bai Zhi raised her lips slightly and put down the teacup in her hand. "You are indeed as smart as Bai Ye said, but sometimes being too smart is not a good thing."

"Madam, you're joking. If Bai Ye hadn't deliberately revealed too much, I wouldn't have guessed it." Su Wanning said, "But this time I came to visit, I really wanted to do my part to help those children from poor families have a place to study."

"People in Lingnan don't have the opportunity to pass the imperial examinations."

"Is the purpose of studying just to pass the imperial examinations?" Su Wanning looked at Bai Zhi seriously and said.

Bai Zhi didn't expect that Su Wanning had the same idea as her. When she got married, she believed that her husband would support her in everything she did, rather than being trapped in the harem.

Bai Ye also told her about Su Wanning's life experience. She didn't believe that the person who said such a thing would be someone who grew up in that kind of living environment.

"The address of the academy has been chosen. Miss Su is welcome to come anytime."

Seeing Bai Zhi say this, he knew that she had accepted her feelings. "Okay, I'll have someone send my gift over."

She politely declined Bai Zhi's request to stay for dinner and went out directly. Zhan Beiwang was still waiting in the carriage at the door.

"Is everything settled?"

Su Wanning nodded and said, "I'll ask Mo Lan to bring me a box of gold ingots later."

"Isn't it a bit too much?" Zhan Beiwang didn't expect to be given so much silver.

"Not many." After all, this is not an ordinary school. Although it looks like there are so many, it may not be enough in the end.

As she spoke, she took out a box of gold bars from the space, which she had specially packed just in case.

I didn't expect it to be used so quickly.

When they arrived at Zhan Beiwang's house, they asked Mo Lan to carry the box of gold ingots down and deliver it to Bai Zhi.

Su Wanning and the other person took a carriage directly back to the village.

It was already late when I got back, so I went back to my room after breakfast.

The next morning they got up and went up the mountain to exercise as usual, but just as they were sitting there watching the sunrise as usual, a bell rang.

She had never heard of it before, and this was the first time. She thought about the date and realized there were no important holidays, and even the Chinese New Year would still be some time away.

Su Wanning looked at Zhan Beiwang and found that he had a serious face. She asked directly,

"Is there a festival coming up soon? Why are the bells ringing suddenly?"

After the bells stopped ringing, Zhan Beiwang slowly spoke, "National mourning."

"National mourning?" Su Wanning said in shock after she realized what was happening. "Did the emperor pass away?"

Zhan Beiwang nodded, his face still worried, "The capital is going to be in chaos."

The capital is so far away from Lingnan, so the chaos shouldn't spread to Lingnan. Lingnan is already very chaotic, so even if it does, it shouldn't be that serious.

Su Wanning didn't take these things to heart.

After breakfast, as usual, he took his bow and arrow to practice. He ran into Li Jingyu who had just gotten up to eat. "Why didn't you go back to the capital?"

"I'm doing fine here. Why should I go back to the capital?" Li Jingyu said after taking a sip of porridge.

"Didn't you hear the national mourning sounds this morning?"

"heard it."

"Aren't you going back to attend the funeral?"

"No rush. The capital is in chaos right now. Let's wait two days before going back." Li Jingyu finished the porridge in the bowl and stood up.

Su Wanning thought that Li Jingyu was not planning to go back. If he really didn't go back, she was afraid that people would criticize him from then on.

During the month of national mourning, Su Wanning's life was the same as usual. The difference was that she had already memorized all the books that Bai Ye gave her, and she also learned how to take a pulse from Bai Ye. Although she was not yet proficient, if she reviewed more, she would soon become a master.

But she didn't want to stop there, so she went to Bai Ye's courtyard, ready to see what else she could get out of him. But Bai Ye simply waved his hand and said, "I have already given you everything I have learned."

"Aren't you afraid that teaching your apprentice will starve you to death?" Su Wanning looked at Bai Ye.

"Then you'll let me starve to death?"

"Don't worry, I'll take care of your food from now on." Su Wanning patted her chest and promised. Then, thinking of something else, she asked, "Don't you know acupuncture?"

Bai Ye shook his head, "No, as long as the disease exists, I can cure it with just one pill."

"Do you know anyone who is skilled in acupuncture? Ask them to teach me." Su Wanning looked at Bai Ye earnestly.

"Are you sure you want to learn?" Bai Ye looked at Su Wanning

Su Wanning reached out and took out a traditional Chinese medicine human acupuncture point model from the space hospital on the spot.

Bai Ye was immediately startled, but looking at Su Wanning's serious expression, he knew that she really wanted to learn.

"Okay, wait a few days, I'll take you there."

Su Wanning walked over with a smile on her face and hugged Bai Ye's arm, "I knew you were good to me."

Bai Ye reached out and poked Su Wanning's head. "Don't be so happy too soon. Acupuncture can't be learned in a day or two."

Su Wanning naturally knew it. At most, it would take her a few years to learn it. She had plenty of time anyway.

Bai Ye asked Su Wanning about her medical skills during this period of time and then went back.

Thinking that I hadn't been to the back of the house for a long time, I usually left the task of watering to Yueshu, and then went to the back of the house.

Most of the crops planted behind the house have already grown, and it is not like what the villagers said that nothing can be grown.

She planned to tell the villagers the good news after growing the first batch of crops.

After all, she was afraid that the reason why those plants were growing so well now was only because of the fertilizer she had used on the land before. After those things grew for a while, they would need more nutrients. If they continued to grow, it would prove that even without fertilizer, it was suitable for the growth of those plants.
