Chapter 227 The Merchant's Daughter
Speaking of the Ning family, they were also a noble family in the previous dynasty. There was a prime minister and two grand tutors in their ancestors. In the current dynasty, they have only occupied the title of an uncle's mansion, but they are in decline.

Ning Miao's father's lineage is the child of Uncle Ning's deceased wife, so he is very unfavorable to Uncle Ning.

Ning's father also has no intention of relying on the shadow of his parents, separating the family early, and leading a son and a daughter with Ning's mother to live their own lives.

Father Ning worked in the Hanlin Academy as a small editor. He didn't know how to drill, and he had no one to take care of him. He hadn't been promoted in all these years.

But Ning's father and Ning's mother are very affectionate, they have a son and a daughter together, although life is poor, but there is love, the daughter is very intelligent, the son is not stupid, they support each other, life is also very promising.

But Ning Miao graduated from the Royal Academy three years ago, and her younger brother unfortunately suffered from hemoptysis, and needed to take medicine all the time, which was a lot of money.

Ning Miao took the initiative to bear his younger brother's medical expenses, taught in the academy on weekdays, and took the initiative to attend classes in some family ethnology schools on ordinary holidays.

Ning Miao has been in the Xie family school recently, so she has gotten closer to the Xie family, especially Xie Yongfu.

Xie Yongfu knew that Baozhu was resting in the dormitory of the academy for the first time today, fearing that she might not get used to it, he entrusted Ning Miao to come and have a look.

I didn't want to see this scene.

Ning Miao knew that the dormitory where the dispute happened was the dormitory where Zhen Baozhu lived, so she hurried over there.

"What are you doing?"

Ning Miao shouted with a cold face.

Both Baozhu and Shen Qiao stopped.

Ning Miao helped Baozhu up.

Although Ning Miao only taught Baozhu to read for a few days, Baozhu still remembered the gentle and pleasant Mrs. Ning.

"Master Ning, they bullied me and wanted to drive me out." Baozhu complained immediately.

Shen Qiao didn't take it seriously, "She's just a small secretary, what can she do for you."

Lin Miao is different from Ji Jing. Although Ji Jing also came from a poor family, Ji Jing is a man with an official status and a bright future.

But Lin Miao is just a simple secretary in the end.

Shen Qiao didn't take Lin Miao seriously at all.

Lin Miao said indifferently: "There are regulations in the academy. If students want to graduate, at least five of the seven courses must be 'excellent' in order to complete the course smoothly. What do you think I can do?"

It so happened that Lin Miao served as the instructor of the two courses of "Spring and Autumn" and "Arithmetic".

Before that, Shen Qiao was displeased by Ji Jing's boss, Ji Jing was stern and selfless, and would not look at the Shen family's face at all.

Calculated in this way, Shen Qiao probably won't graduate from the academy until he becomes an old sister-in-law.

Shen Qiao's face was pale and pale, "How dare you?"

Lin Miao said, "Do you think I dare?"

Although she was a woman and came from a humble background, she worked in the academy and had some contacts. Facing Shen Qiao's threat, Lin Miao felt a little sense of being unafraid of power.

Baozhu felt that Master Lin was really sassy.

Shen Qiao bit her lip and said, "If you're cruel, I'll let you go today."

Maybe Shen Qiao was afraid of Lin Miao, but Shen Qiao finally died down.

Zhen Baozhu pointed to the quilt on the ground and said, "Whoever throws it out will pick it up for this girl."

Shen Qiao looked over, and Lin Miao's eyes were full of threats.

Shen Qiao said to Wang Yurou: "Go and pick it up for her."

Wang Yurou had no choice but to follow suit.

Lin Miao tidied up the bedding for Baozhu, touched Baozhu's head and said, "Are you afraid?"

Baozhu nodded, "Scared."

"The master is with you." Lin Miao was worried about leaving Baozhu here alone, worried that Shen Qiao would do something again, so she fell asleep with Baozhu.

Early the next morning, Baozhu sneezed three times in a row.

Lin Miao said worriedly, "Could it be that you caught a cold last night? I'll go get you some medicine."

Ancient times were no different than modern times, a small wind and cold could easily kill a person.

Baozhu said: "That's good, it's a pity that I can't go to today's riding and archery class."

"At what time do you want to go to class?" Lin Miao patted Baozhu's head and went to get medicine for Baozhu.

Shen Qiao and Wang Yurou taunted Zhen Baozhu as usual, but Baozhu ignored them.

After taking the medicine made by Lin Fuzi herself, Baozhu felt much more comfortable and slept soundly.

When she woke up again, Shen Qiao and Wang Yurou had already returned.

Suddenly, Shen Qiao yelled, "Cousin, have you seen the agate green pendant I was wearing before?"

Wang Yurou said: "It's the pendant that the Queen Mother gave you earlier, I haven't seen it."

"Then why can't I find it." Shen Qiao said anxiously and annoyed: "I put it under the jade pillow this morning, why did it disappear?"

Wang Yurou was also very puzzled and said, "Cousin, if you search carefully, she might have been stolen."

Then both of them looked at Zhen Baozhu.

Come, come again.

Zhen Baozhu thought to himself, the two of them were not as straightforward as before, but they sang a double reed, slandering her for stealing things.

Baozhu felt a headache.

Can't it be easier to be a human being?
Shen Qiao immediately said: "Zhen Baozhu must have stolen my pendant. She was born in a small merchant and has never seen anything good. When she saw my pendant, she was overjoyed and took it as her own."

Wang Yurou sang and said: "Miss Zhen, the pendant you stole is not an ordinary pendant, it is a gift from the imperial court. Stealing the gift from the imperial court will be punished. I advise you to hand it over obediently."

Zhen Baozhu spread her hands, "Why do you say that I stole your things, do you have evidence?"

Wang Yuju said: "You are alone in the dormitory today, who else is there besides you?"

The voice of the dispute was loud, gradually attracting some people, and more and more people came.

Now everyone has had lunch and is very free.

Some people who didn't know why asked: "Which family is Zhen Baozhu's girl? It seems that there is no family named 'Zhen' in the capital, or which family's in-laws?"

Wang Yurou explained to everyone: "Miss Zhen, her father is just a merchant. She grew up in a small place in Qingzhou, and only came to Xiehou's residence in recent years."

As soon as Xiehou's mansion was mentioned, many people understood that Zhen Baozhu was the granddaughter of Xiehou's mansion.

"But Marquis Xie's Mansion is also a noble man's mansion, and the wives in it are very rich. As the granddaughter of Xie's family, Miss Zhen shouldn't steal anything, right?"

"What's more, Miss Zhen is Xie Siye's younger sister, how could Xie Siye's younger sister steal things?"

In the capital, there are as many dignitaries as dogs, and it is not the Shen family's world.

Immediately, someone voiced doubts.

Shen Qiao said: "What do you know, no matter how rich the Xie family is, but Zhen Baozhu is a merchant woman, so she should have shallow eyesight."

"Although Xie Siye is an upright person, Zhen Baozhu is only Xie Siye's cousin, not his own sister. How could it be impossible for him to steal?"

"What's more, as the saying goes, cousins ​​and cousins ​​are made for each other. Although there is a big age difference between Miss Zhen's family and Xie Siye, maybe Xie's family wants to get closer?"

Shen Qiao knew that the reason why someone would speak up for Zhen Baozhu was because of Xie Yongfu's face.

But if these admirers of Xie Yongfu knew that Zhen Baozhu might snatch Xie Siye from them, would they still speak up for Zhen Baozhu?
