I rely on the system to support my eighteen brothers and sisters

Several scholars looked at Qiao Linxi with some doubts in their hearts. Before, when she came to dinner, she only needed to write a poem of gratitude, but this time she had something else to do.

Seeing the scholars hesitate, Qiao Linxi smiled and said, "Don't be afraid. My business is a good thing for you. I won't let you do anything excessive."

Hearing this, the scholars stopped refusing and started eating.

But they didn’t know what Qiao Linxi wanted to talk to them about, so they felt uneasy and didn’t eat much.

This way, if I rejected Qiao Linxi, I wouldn't feel so bad.

Looking at the barely touched food, Qiao Linxi smiled, "Are you worried that what I ask you to do will embarrass you?"

"No, no, Boss Joe, we are not hungry."

Several scholars shook their heads.

Qiao Linxi looked at the food and said, "Are you guys full? Sister Fang, come over and collect the food."

Fang Yuting came over, picked up a plate of food and was about to leave. Looking at the shredded pork with green pepper in her hand, she couldn't help but lament: "I haven't even eaten these dishes much. It's a pity to throw them away like this."

After saying that, Fang Yuting glanced at the scholars, sighed, and walked away with the plate.

"Are we going to throw these vegetables away?" the scholar asked in surprise.

"Well, I'm in the food business, and credibility is important. I can't sell the dishes to other customers just because they didn't eat much. So these dishes have to be thrown away."

Fang Yuting continued to sigh: "Who knows that every grain of rice on the plate is hard-earned? This is such a pity."

Fang Yutingbao was not implying anything against these scholars, but she felt from the bottom of her heart that it was a pity to throw away these dishes. Although they were taken to the back door for those in need, they were not touched. If another group of people came to eat, they could still sell for a lot of money.

The weather has been dry for so long, food is so precious.

"It's okay, just take it off."

Qiao Linxi coughed and said, "Then let's talk about this. I thought you are all scholars and must have some knowledge. So I thought of inviting you to my academy to teach the children to read and recognize characters."

"Is that all?" Several scholars looked at Qiao Linxi in surprise. They thought that what Qiao Linxi was talking about would be something difficult to do.

"That's it, what do you think?"

Qiao Linxi was quick-witted and didn't beat around the bush. She explained the matter directly. The scholars understood, but didn't respond to her immediately. Instead, they watched Fang Yuting come and bring the second dish down.

"Hey, sister, it would be a shame to throw away this dish. Why don't you keep it for now? I can eat it when I'm hungry later."

"You go to the academy to teach children. If there are few children in the early stage, I will pay you according to the salary of a teacher. If there are more children later, you will have to pay the tuition for each child by yourselves, and I will not give you a monthly salary."

After a pause, Qiao Linxi continued, "You can eat and live in the academy. I will set up a kitchen in the academy and send people to cook for the children. My only request is that you have to teach my Qiao family's children."

"That's fine. But if that happens, you, Boss Joe, won't have any income."

Qiao Linxi smiled again: "Just think of it as me doing a good deed."

After they discussed the specific details, Qiao Linxi got up and left. The scholars felt relieved and started to eat their meal with peace of mind.

Qiao Linxi had so much money in her hands, and the money left by Gu Changfeng alone was enough for her to spend for several years. If you don't use money, you're a fool. Just think of it as accumulating blessings for Gu Changfeng and eliminating his sins.

Since it is going to be an academy, it has to operate in accordance with the formal academy. Therefore, Qiao Linxi's Changfeng Academy must have a dean, a vice-dean, and a manager to take charge of the affairs of the academy.

Since it was built with Gu Changfeng's money, the post of dean should be in his name, and she could only be a deputy. As for the management, Qiao Linxi asked Wei Cailan to do it. Wei Cailan came from the palace, and in addition to knowing those etiquettes, she was also very good at this kind of thing.

After the major issue at the academy was resolved, Qiao Linxi focused his attention back on Yue Li.

"Miss Qiao, I think you can guess why I followed you."

Qiao Linxi touched the wooden bracelet on his hand and asked, "Are you here for the Qiankun Ding as well?"

Yue Li nodded, then shook her head and said, "I am indeed looking for the Qiankun Cauldron, but I am different from others."

There has always been an unwritten rule in the royal family of Dongyue that every generation of high priests will have a magic weapon. However, the people of the priest lineage do not know about these magic weapons before they become high priests. They only know about them when the previous high priest dies.

When the previous high priest died, he said something that shocked everyone, and that was the Qiankun Ding.

At that time, the royal family and the priests did not know what the Qiankun Ding was. They consulted a large number of ancient books and speculated based on the legend of the dragon god of Dai Viet that the Qiankun Ding might be in Dai Viet.

That's why Yue Li came here to look for it.

As long as one is from the priest lineage, no matter who gets the Qiankun Ding, he will directly succeed to the position of high priest.

In the Dongyue Kingdom, the high priest had a very high status, even higher than the royal family. It can be said that the emperors of the Daiyue Kingdom in all dynasties respected the high priest very much.

"So, those who captured my sister and asked me to hand over the Qiankun Cauldron are from your Dongyue country?"

Qiao Linxi was confused. Wasn't it the Princess of Xiyue who captured Qiao Linqin at that time?

"Yes, he is also from the priest lineage."

Yue Li knew who had captured Qiao Linxi's sister. Yue Qingrong was the granddaughter of the high priest who had just passed away, but she was not recognized by the royal family of Dongyue Kingdom and could not succeed the high priest.

The royal family of Dongyue Kingdom has always only recognized things, not people.

"Before she died, the high priestess said that she had a daughter who was living abroad. If you want to get the Qiankun Ding, you may have to find the high priestess's daughter first."

Qiao Linxi frowned: "This matter won't be related to my mother, right?"

And Yue Li’s next words also verified Qiao Linxi’s guess?

Yue Li: "I used the bloodline tracing method to find out that the high priest's daughter was in the Great Yue Kingdom. I followed this clue and met you. I also found evidence in your house that your mother is the high priest's daughter. The box containing the letter is a mechanical box exclusive to the high priest's lineage."

As she spoke, Yue Li took out half of a completely black jade pendant and said, "I found this at your house. This jade pendant should have belonged to your mother. This half of the jade pendant can be combined with the one in my hand."

Qiao Linxi took the black jade pendant and said, "It is indeed my mother's. Is my mother really from your Dongyue country?"
