Chapter 1119 Famine and Natural Disaster 279

"Sister Zhao, are you asleep?"

After coming out of the master's place, Nanny Rong went straight to Nanny Zhao's room.

Aunt Zhao was drowsily asleep when she heard the sound, but was startled by such a shout and woke up suddenly.

"Here you are, Sister Rong."

"Sister Zhao, open the door. I have something to talk to your sister about."

In the dark night, Nanny Zhao groped her way up, lit the lamp, walked to the door, and opened the door with a 'squeak' sound.

"Sister Rong is not sleeping in the middle of the night. Why are you here?" If it wasn't an emergency, Grandma Rong would not bother her right now.

Aunt Rong smiled and held her hand, "Sister Zhao, you don't know; the master just told me that he would arrange for the development of rouge gouache for the people below."

After the narration, a rare look of excitement appeared in Nanny Zhao's eyes.

"But is it true? We can also develop it, and if we succeed, we will also get a share of it?"

"It's true, it's true, it couldn't be truer; don't you know how good our master is? If we can really develop it, we don't need several types, just one or two will be enough for us to eat and clothe for the rest of our lives. When we get old, Even if you can’t do anything, you won’t be a burden to your master.”

They have been servants all their lives. They were sold to middlemen when they were young and are destined to have no freedom in this life.

They have been serving people all their lives, they used to be princesses, now they are masters. They have a lot of monthly money in their hands, but after saving the money, when they can no longer work, they will mostly be left with nothing to eat, and they can only rely on the kindness of their masters to provide food for them.

Now they have the opportunity to change the status quo that will be seen in the future and lighten the burden on their masters. They can live more freely, so why not do it.

Isn't it just to develop a new rouge and gouache? They have been making rouge and gouache for decades, and it only takes a little more drilling.

Aunt Zhao and Aunt Rong were immediately full of confidence, and spent their free time studying how to make new rouge. However, they used their time more compactly, and Mingyi successively made several models. come out.

Time flies and flies by in the blink of an eye.

It's Zhou Ting's birthday, and it's the present master's birthday in the northwest. There's a big banquet for guests.

Mingyi's status was not high enough, so she was not qualified to appear in public; Zhou Ting wanted to take the person with him, but the name was not right and the words were not smooth, so he could only leave it to the princess.

The princess agreed, but she didn't expect that on this day, Fan Qingzhi sent a message to Mingyi and Zhou Ting early in the morning.

"teacher."

They both bowed in unison.

"Well, I asked you to come here to explain, Mingyi, you stay with me to receive the guests. Chaosheng should be busy with whatever he has to do. Mingyi is here to watch over me."

Fan Qingzhi's words surprised and delighted Zhou Ting. The demeanor he had cultivated over the years did not show on his face, and he only bowed deeply.

"Teacher, thank you."

"Thank you. Mingyi is a bit smarter than you. He can understand everything he teaches. He is talented, diligent and eager to learn. He is not blind as a teacher. You send such a good student here so that he can see." Fan Qingzhi He waved his hand and sent the person away.

Zhou Ting smiled at Mingyi, and when Mingyi smiled back, he made an appointment to leave.

Fan Qingzhi shook his head, he really couldn't see it; the two of them didn't even exchange a word, Chao Sheng was already deeply in love, I really don't know if it was a blessing or a curse.

He finally understood that Chaosheng recognized Mingyi and planned everything for Mingyi; in this case, it didn't matter that he, as a teacher, helped along the way, after all, he was one of his own family members.

In ancient times, once you became a disciple, it was equivalent to a father-son/daughter relationship; if the teacher had no descendants, he would even pass on his wealth and connections to his satisfied disciples. This is how the saying that a master is like a father came about.

"Mingyi, don't wander around when you are waiting for the guests. Follow me closely. Most of the guests coming today are from the powerful families in the northwest. It's not that the powerful people can't come in front of us, so you have to remember their faces. Have you seen them before? The ability to remember is not difficult to achieve; this will be very beneficial to you in the future, do you understand? "

As his disciple, even if his family background is not obvious, there are many people who are willing to make friends with him. What's more, if she is a female disciple, girls from powerful families will definitely be involved; as long as you get to know her, you will have the opportunity to climb into the Prince Zhou's palace and his Fan family. There are smart people everywhere.

"Teacher, why don't you, disciple, go? I'm still young." He was not in a hurry to socialize.

Children of aristocratic families started socializing when they were young. When they were young, they didn't know much about it. They just listened to what the elders in the family said and did what they did. Gradually, they became educated and knew how to socialize. It has become a living habit.

But she is not!

The teacher is really relieved.

She is so young and comes from a peasant family, so she has little knowledge; he is not afraid that she will embarrass him and make people laugh.

"You're so young. You're eight years old this year. You're not too young. Let's make friends with those who need to be friends. There are quite a few powerful people in the northwest, many of whom are connected to aristocratic families in Kyoto." Fan Qing stopped snorting, then said to her: "Cheer up. Come."

"Yes, teacher, the students understand."

Mingyi lowered her hands helplessly, clasping her hands together, rubbing her fingers, secretly thinking about how to find an opportunity to escape after identifying the person.

Fan Qingzhi seemed to have noticed her little idea, "Don't think about running away from the battlefield. The memory of the children of the aristocratic family may not be the same as yours, but it won't be any worse."

Moreover, she was the only female disciple around him, so only more people would remember her.

"Okay." It hurts. The teacher knows her too well. How long have they been together? How could he feel her pulse so accurately?

"gone."

Mingyi sighed and followed Fan Qingzhi out of the courtyard. When she saw Aunt Zhao and Aunt Rong waiting outside the courtyard, she twitched her lips.

Aunt Zhao and Aunt Rong saw their master twitching the corners of his mouth and looking perfunctory, so they looked at Fan Qingzhi again; only to see Fan Qingzhi passing them and walking quickly.

"Let's go to the front yard." He winked at them and quickly followed Fan Qingzhi's footsteps and walked to the front yard together.

Along the way, I encountered servants coming and going, and there were even more servants in the front yard; servants carrying things and greeting guests could only see servants uniformly dressed in uniforms passing by.

"Old Master, you are here. Please take a seat in the inner hall."

Xun Xiu, the steward of the palace, made a bow to meet him.

"Yes." Fan Qingzhi nodded lightly and followed Xun Xiu into the front hall. There were already many people inside. Of course, the position in the northwest was not high, so come early to get familiar with them.

Mingyi followed closely behind with two nuns.

As soon as Fan Qingzhi entered the inner hall, the still lively inner hall suddenly became quiet, and even the breathing of the people around him could be heard.

"I've met Master Fan."

"You don't have to be polite."

Seeing this, Xun Xiu led Fan Qingzhi to sit on a high seat in the inner hall.

The king of the northwest Zhou Dynasty was seriously ill in bed and could not come out to attend his son's birthday banquet. Fan Qingzhi, a teacher, came to receive the male guests, which was a disguised recognition of the master-disciple relationship with the prince of the king of Zhou.

After the birthday banquet, it was expected that people in Kyoto would soon know that Master Fan had been secretly teaching the prince of the Northwest Zhou Dynasty for a long time.

It's hard to say whether it's a blessing or a curse, and the royal family will definitely be afraid of it.

A retired old master secretly taught Prince Zhou that if he had no other plans, let alone the royal family, no one else would believe him either.

The second update is in place~~~Good night, my dears~~
