Yusui Chang'an

Chapter 1164 Fame spreads
Looking at the thick list handed over by Du Xing, it not only contained the age and name of the female student, but also included the population of her family, whether she had done any evil, what her character was, and who in the court she was involved with.

After just looking at the two of them, Lin Jinyan showed a satisfied look and praised Du Xing for doing things more carefully and methodically.

Du Xing bowed modestly:

"It's not just my achievement. Young lady has a good eye for talent and uses people properly. The two managers she selected for me are both careful and serious. Moreover, in each manor, they are all our own people who have signed a death contract, so there is no need to worry too much."

Lin Jinyan looked at Bai Zhi and smiled:
"Look at our steward Du, this humble gentleman has lost all the disdain he showed for me in the beginning."

Bai Zhi and Du Xing followed Lin Jinyan on the same day, and they knew that Du Xing looked down on Lin Jinyan, who was still a child. He only followed Lin Jinyan's orders under the order of Gu Hongzhang.

Hearing this, he looked at Du Xing and laughed together with Lin Jinyan.

Du Xing blushed at the teasing of the two. Thinking back to the past, he lowered his head and begged for mercy:
He was originally a rough man and was indeed forced to follow Lin Jinyan. He originally planned to deal with her for three years and then return to Dingbei Army, but before the deadline, he had already sincerely convinced Lin Jinyan.

He had never seen a woman more cautious and daring than his own young lady. Just looking at what this young lady did, many of them would probably scare the old general after hearing about them.

He also changed from disapproval at the beginning to acquiescence, and now to full support. He even felt that his young lady was the one who could change Tianchu.

Although he knew that Lin Jinyan was just joking with him and not seeking revenge, Du Xing still felt ashamed when he thought back to the past.

Lin Jinyan stopped laughing and joking. She knew that Du Xing was loyal but impatient. She didn't want him to be tripped up by trivial matters, so she assigned two more managers to Du Xing to dispatch:

"As for the trivial matters, you can just send them to do them. Just keep an eye on them and don't get too tired. Although the weather is getting warmer, your leg injury is an old one and it will still hurt when it rains. Here is a new plaster I made for you. Take it out and apply it when the weather changes. The sooner you use it up, the better."

Du Xing felt warm in his heart. He stood up and took the plaster, smiling naively: "Miss, I am sorry that you have been thinking about me. Miss, you don't have to worry about tiring me out. I am in good health. Just tell me if you have anything to say."

When being escorted out of the yard by Hong Jiu, Du Xing asked curiously:

"Miss, you seem to be in a very good mood today, but is there any good news?"

Hong Jiu: "I guess... I got a can of good tea."

Lin Jinyan, who was in the room, flipped through the roster one by one, and after looking through them, she placed them on the left and right. Bai Zhi glanced at the character of the family at the top on the right, and she knew that those placed on this pile would have no chance of attending the school.

The daughters of wealthy families or officials would invite teachers to their homes to teach, and naturally they did not take Ronghua Hall, which accepted common people, seriously.

The tuition fee of ten taels of silver per month was not cheap. Most of those who could afford it were lower-ranking officials, or scholars with some property, or wealthy merchants.

Most of these families just pamper their daughters and spend all their time and money on raising their sons.

In addition, there has never been a precedent for girls' schools since ancient times, and although Lin Jinyan is the granddaughter of Master Lin, she is just a woman. Therefore, before the opening, there were only a few people who signed up for the inner courtyard.

But since yesterday, his reputation spread overnight, and the places in the inner courtyard were snapped up by everyone, with many people even offering a hundred times the money to get in.

Lin Jinyan, however, sat on the Diaoyutai and did not want any more money, embodying the pure style of the Lin family.
