These people began to slander Yan Xia.

The young man who just spoke sneered.

"Then your name really needs to be written backwards. This morning, the school just posted a notice and it is already full. You'd better be more careful what you say. Our magistrate of Jiashu County is an only daughter, but she is a concubine in the school. , if Magistrate Lu hears what you just cursed, with the way he dotes on Miss Lu, you guys will... haha."

The young man glanced at them.

He raised his lips and prepared to leave.

"Hey, brother, we were joking just now. Don't take it seriously. Don't let others hear what you just said. Come on, come on. I'll treat you to a cup of tea. We don't know each other if we don't know each other. When we live in the same town, we are all our own people.”

"Yes, Miss Lu can teach, which means that this school will definitely teach many talented girls in the future. We were just joking, you heard wrong, drink tea, drink tea."

"..."

Several people thought he was going to the county government to file a complaint.

He was so frightened that he quickly surrounded the man.

Pulled him to sit down.

Coaxing and apologizing at the same time.

How could he still look like he had just slandered Yan Xia?

It’s not just teahouses.

The same goes for the rest of town.

When the school first started recruiting people, everyone was watching the show and felt that Yan Xia was having a whim.

After learning that the school was full, the daughter of the county magistrate also came to teach.

Everyone changed their tune.

Trying to stuff his daughter inside.

Nonsense, that's the daughter of the county magistrate.

If you can let the county magistrate's daughter teach your daughter, even if you get married in the future, your husband's family will look up to you.

Unfortunately, the school is already full.

Liu Yunwan and Feng Lanlan moved in with their daughter and maid.

Five-year-old Zhaoer also moved from Yan Xia's home to the dormitory and officially started her study career.

Everything is going smooth.

Until a letter arrives.

It broke the peace and tranquility.

Early April.

Spring has arrived.

Rebirth.

Yan Xia was sitting in the courtyard, admiring the scenery, holding a letter in her hand.

It was sent from the Imperial City.

This person sent the letter to Yan's pastry shop, and Chang Fu asked the maid to send it back to the house.

Until it was handed over to her.

"Xiao Ji, who do you think the person who sent this letter could be?" Yan Xia asked Xiao Ji curiously before she opened it.

"Does Auntie know anyone in the capital?"

Yan Xia shook his head, opened the letter, and read line by line.

After a while.

Her breathing deepened.

The letter in his hand fell to the ground.

Xiaoji was puzzled, so she bent down and picked up the letter.

But accidentally scanned it and saw the words "Ye Mingzhu" written on it.

"Xiaoji, the Luminous Pearl has come out, and it has spread throughout the imperial city. Someone leaked the secret, saying that the Luminous Pearl comes from Jiangnan. It's over, and the world is going to be in chaos."

The imperial city is far away from Jiashu County.

When Yan Xia received the letter, it was likely that the first batch of treasure hunters had already arrived in Jiangnan.

"This letter was sent by Huang Shaoji. When I asked him to cut the luminous pearl, I told him that since he could send me a letter to remind me, it means that this matter was not passed down by him, but... who else could it be? What? Is it possible that there are other luminous pearls in the world?"

Yan Xia was confused.

According to the letter, after the Luminous Pearl came out, many people started to look at it with eager eyes. Fortunately, they only knew that the Luminous Pearl was in the south of the Yangtze River and did not know where it was specifically. Therefore, the first stop for those treasure hunters must be Go to Jiangnan County and ask.

As long as they didn't tell anyone, no one would know that Ye Mingzhu was at home.

"Xiaoji, go quickly. Go to the restaurant to call Chang Yu and Chang Yi back, and ask the servants to drive you there in a carriage. Hurry!"

Yan Xia no longer dared to let her daughter wear the night-light pearl necklace.

She was going to take it back and put it in the space for safekeeping.

"Yes, Auntie, I'm going now."

Xiao Ji picked up her skirt and ran towards the backyard.

However, in the restaurant courtyard at this time, Chang Yu was arranging work for a newly hired helper.

The cook was a woman, and the man died early, so she became a widow with her only son to depend on.

Chang Yu originally did not hire outsiders, but when he saw that the woman was really pitiful, he made an exception and let her come to work.

The two walked to the cellar in the yard. Chang Yu opened the wooden planks of the cellar and saw a wooden ladder below.

"Come down with me and I'll show you how to arrange the ingredients."

Watching the temperature rise.

The cellar is used to store ingredients needed for daily use.

The two climbed down one after the other.

The cellar was not ventilated, Chang Huan said quickly and asked the woman to climb up first, and she followed behind.

But when the woman climbed halfway, she turned back. As she climbed up and down, she saw a bright green stone floating in Chang Yu's collar. The woman swallowed her shock. After she climbed out, she pretended not to care. asked.

"Shopkeeper, is that a necklace hanging around your neck? Why don't you wear it outside your clothes?"

"Oh, this is the necklace my mother gave me. I'm afraid I might bump it." Chang Yu answered her casually without thinking too deeply.

"Sister Chang Yu, aunt asked me to call you and sister Chang Yi to go back together. Aunt wants to see you if she has something to do."

Before the woman could speak again, Xiao Ji came.

"Okay, I'll go back with you right now, Aunt Liu. You will be responsible for getting the ingredients from the cellar, washing the vegetables and dishes. If you don't understand anything else, just ask me again. You can go and do it. I have something else to do."

After Chang Yu finished speaking, he and Chang Yi left with Xiao Ji.

However, the woman's eyes were gleaming, her head lowered and she didn't know what she was thinking.

That afternoon, Yan Xia took back the necklaces of her two daughters and put them in the space.

They also specifically told them not to mention this to anyone.

A week or so passed.

As expected, the news about Ye Mingzhu reached Jiashe County.

"Have you heard that there is a luminous pearl in the world, and it is located in the south of the Yangtze River. I heard that many dignitaries are watching with eager eyes. Even many nobles in the imperial city have sent their men to hunt for treasures in the south of the Yangtze River. You say, Where will this night pearl be?"

"Real or fake? Night Pearl? Isn't this a lie made up by a scholar? Is there really a Night Pearl?"

"I've heard about it too. My old father-in-law just came back from Jiangnan County two days ago. I heard that there are a lot of people with Imperial City accents there. They all have fierce eyes and are covered in tendons. At first glance, they look like thugs. of."

"Oh, the person who owns the Luminous Pearl is also a fool. He just keeps the good stuff and shows it off to the outside world. This is good. If he is found out, the life of the whole family will be hanging on the edge of the knife. If he doesn't hand it over, just Afraid....."

"Who says it's not the case? If you have a backer or an official in your family, you can still protect it. If it's just a businessman or a commoner, you can only give it up to others."

"Come on, even if your relative is the magistrate, you can't protect him. You don't know the inside story. My brother-in-law works as a government official in Jiangnan County. I heard that the magistrate of Jiangnan met many noble people not long ago. They were just hangers-on and thugs, so I asked the magistrate to Licking his face to greet him, one can imagine how big the official position of the other master is!"
