Ming Dynasty: I risked my life to teach the prince, the emperor begged me not to die

Chapter 130: They are not husband and wife

On the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, Yin Ping'er sent two maids out early in the morning. One of them was to buy newspapers, as she was more concerned about gossip in the newspapers.

The other one went to Huaihua Hutong early to guard Chen Ce. After seeing that Chen Ce and Madam Wu lived in two courtyards respectively, the maid left with sudden realization.

I just happened to run into Li Zhen when I was leaving.

Li Zhen frowned slightly, and was not in a hurry to go to Chen Ce's courtyard. He turned back to the Northern Pacification Division of the Jinyiwei and asked Wei Wenli to check the identity of the maid. After finding out the identity, Li Zhen went to Chen Ce's courtyard.

"Mr. Chen."

Chen Ce was having breakfast, a light meal of porridge, steamed buns and pickled cucumbers.

"Want to eat something together?"

Li Zhen shook her head and said, "I ate a little outside when I got here."

"The owner of the carriage that crashed last night has been found."

Last night, the owner of the carriage was knocked off his horse by a flying kick from Zhu Houzhao, but he was able to hold his anger and left without even pursuing the matter.

Chen Ce had to be on guard against the other party's chance to retaliate, so he had to find out the other party's background first.

Li Zhen did not hide anything and said directly, "He is the eldest son of Fu Han, the left doctor of the Ministry of Rites. His name is Fu Yuan. He had been running the family business in Linjiang Prefecture, Jiangxi Province, and just returned to the capital yesterday."

Chen Ce nodded and asked Li Zhen, "You won't cause any trouble, will you?"

Li Zhen shook his head and said, "I don't know yet. This person is quite cautious. Linjiang Prefecture has described him, saying that he is a generous person and will not cause trouble for such a thing."

"Besides, his father is from the Ministry of Rites. Last night was the Lantern Festival, and he was the one who drove the carriage recklessly. He is in the wrong. If he is in the wrong, he should not make a big fuss about it."

That's good. Chen Ce bowed and said, "Thank you, Lord Li. Am I a little too much?"

what?
Li Zhen couldn't keep up with Chen Ce's thoughts and asked, "Why do you say that, Master Chen?"

Chen Ce said: "I always trouble you Jinyiwei. After all, my identity is here."

Li Zhen hurriedly said, "Brother Chen, please don't say that."

"Although I have always called you Master Chen, I still treat you as a brother. Although I am not good at other things, I can still distinguish between good and bad and kindness."

"After Wen Li was promoted, my position in the Jinyiwei rose rapidly. It was all thanks to your help, Brother Chen. You didn't ask me to do anything excessive. I am definitely happy to help with this matter. Don't say such polite words in the future."

"I still say the same thing. As long as it is within my scope of responsibility, just ask. If you are being polite, you are not treating me as a brother."

Chen Ce smiled and said, "Well, I won't be so polite to you in the future. Red tape is the most troublesome thing."

Li Zhen was a warrior, and he was tired of the red tape, so he smiled and said, "That's how it should be!"

"By the way, when I came here just now, I found someone was watching you."

Chen Ce frowned slightly and asked Li Zhen, "Who is it?"

Li Zhen said, "I just checked. It's an actor from Shuntian Prefecture. The host's name is Yin Ping'er."

Chen Ce said with a sigh, "It's her. Never mind. Don't bother with her."

"it is good."

Since Chen Ce didn't let Li Zhen interfere, Li Zhen naturally wouldn't go looking for trouble.

……

In a boudoir on Xiaoxing Street.

Yin Ping'er was putting on makeup in front of the mirror. When she heard the maid's words, she couldn't help but smile and asked, "You said Master Chen and Mancang'er are not husband and wife?"

"To answer Miss, they are either husband and wife or ordinary neighbors."

Yin Ping'er smiled. No wonder she felt so happy when she woke up this morning. She felt like something happy was going to happen. Chen Ce was not only handsome, but also had the aura of a scholar. He was definitely not comparable to Yang Yuzhen and other businessmen.

The most important thing is that Chen Ce’s identity is a mystery. He was able to become Tang Yin’s teacher. Even if he had no fame, he was in contact with powerful and famous people.

I am still a virgin and I just want to marry an honest and good man.

Chen Ce is quite good, we have to find a way to take him down!

After she was dressed, she signaled her maid to go down and took the morning's newspaper and read it carefully. The headline on the front page was about a knight named Zhu Shou who rescued a woman.

She was not interested in this, but it satisfied the fantasy of many men in the Ming Dynasty to be a hero and save the beauty.

Yin Ping'er was concerned about the ranking of the so-called Ten Beauties of Shuntian Prefecture. Seeing that she was only ranked tenth, she couldn't help but pout and look unhappy.

I don't know who made the random rankings and what kind of vision they have. Why am I only ranked tenth?
"Go give that store some money and ask them to change the ranking tomorrow and put me in the top three!"

……

Wang Defa thought that he should give the store a name, so he came to Chen Ce early in the morning to discuss it, and told Chen Ce that the sales of newspapers today were still very good, better than yesterday.

Chen Ce thought about it and said to Wang Defa, "Let's call it Shuntian Newspaper Industry."

Wang Defa nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go and do the storefront right away."

"This is the money we collected yesterday. Please take a look, sir."

Chen Ce took the money and said to Wang Defa, "Give me the funds and account books every month. You don't have to give them every day."

He really doesn't have the energy for this, so it would be better for him to check it together at the end of the month.

Wang Defa quickly said, "Okay, I understand."

"Oh, Boss, there is one more thing. A famous actor gave us some money and wants us to change the ranking of the Ten Beauties."

Chen Ce glanced at Wang Defa and asked, "Do you think it should be changed?"

He wanted to test Wang Defa's attitude.

Wang Defa shook his head firmly and said, "Boss, you said that newspapers should seek truth from facts. Besides, this ranking is the majority opinion of the people. We as newspaper publishers must be authentic. This is what the boss has always emphasized."

Chen Ce was very satisfied and said with a smile: "Well, then stick to it. Don't be tempted by the petty gains. It would be bad to lose the big picture because of the small gains."

"it is good!"

Chen Ce was very satisfied with Wang Defa's answer. This old man had indeed been running the bookstore business for more than ten years and had his own unique views on doing business. Chen Ce was relieved of a lot of worries.

……

It was also early in the morning of the fourteenth day.

Zhu Houzhao rarely slept in on holidays today. He got up anxiously early in the morning and said to Liu Jin, "Liu Daban, where is the newspaper?"

"Bring it here so I can see it."

Liu Jin hurriedly handed the newspaper to Zhu Houzhao with a smile. After seeing the headline on the newspaper with "Shuntianfu Knight, Chivalrous and Loyal, Bravely Rescues His Lover", Zhu Houzhao was very excited.

He hurriedly asked Liu Jin: "Is anyone outside discussing this?"

Liu Jin said, "Yes! Of course, all the young men in the streets wished they were the ones who saved the young lady yesterday!"

"They also talked about whether the young lady finally gave herself to him or not. It was quite a heated discussion."

Hearing the words "give my body to you", Zhu Houzhao's mouth twitched slightly. She wants to be my slave! Give my body to you, little brother!
Fortunately, this was not written down, but it already made Zhu Houzhao look impressive enough!
