Royal Gold Medal County Magistrate

This banquet really surprised Fang Zheng Yi.

He had seen talents like Prince Wu before.

The Taoyuan County Research Institute had several, all top talents who had been constantly searched for and screened over the years.

However, the situation was slightly different from Prince Wu's, because those people were taught by him from a young age.

Their thinking patterns were not fixed, and coupled with their lack of culture, they were basically blank slates.

In the early days after transmigrating and gaining a foothold, his primary task was to ensure safety.

Another was to pass on the knowledge he hadn't yet returned to his teachers, as there would always be opportunities to use it later.

The little knowledge remaining in his mind was naturally written down on paper.

However, it was clearly not enough, and it needed to be further researched to exert greater effectiveness.

So, he cultivated this group of newcomers and started the research institute.

In the early days, there was no money, so he had them do math problems for fun.

With the rise of Taoyuan County, the research institute received unlimited funding.

Of course, the gains were also huge... Under Fang Zheng Yi's guidance, Taoyuan County produced many good things.

Fang Zheng Yi often rejoiced that he had started the research institute.

Now, his science knowledge, especially mathematics, had deteriorated severely, and he could barely solve quadratic equations...

It was rare for someone like Prince Wu, who grew up in the royal family and was deeply influenced by traditional education, to awaken scientific thinking.

Moreover, he had strong practical abilities and was full of interest in practice.

Fang Zheng Yi was willing to call him the Da Jing version of Newton.

This Prince Wu was alright, with a good impression! Not the sneaky-eyed person he had imagined.

He even sent him a girl.

However, although he had been flirting with this girl for a long time, she was still considered an outsider.

Although he had no unspeakable secrets, he still had to be very careful.

Luo Ning Xin had already been led into the house.

The important figures of the Fang residence were gathered in the hall, and everyone curiously looked at Luo Ning Xin.

Xiao Tao frowned slightly, leaned close to Fang Zheng Yi, and whispered: "Young Master, you brought another woman home again?"

Fang Zheng Yi tilted his head: "What do you mean 'again!'? When have I ever brought a woman home?"

"Xiao Bai."

"Wasn't Xiao Bai carried back by Zhang Biao? She came on her own accord, and this one is the same, sent by Prince Wu."

"And four years ago, you led a widow to the backyard..."

"What widow! Stop talking nonsense! I'll leave her to you from now on, educate her well!"

"Got it!"

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Fang Zheng Yi walked to the center of the hall and said with a smile: "Alright! Everyone's here, today we have a new member in our residence, let me introduce her."

Luo Ning Xin's face was slightly red.

It seemed that these people should be the servants in the residence.

Was he going to announce her status as soon as she arrived? As long as he treated her well, being a concubine wouldn't be a problem.

It seemed that Master Fang didn't have a principal wife, so I.....

Luo Ning Xin's heart was in turmoil, and all kinds of thoughts surged into her mind at once.

A pair of soft hands nervously rubbed the corners of her clothes repeatedly.

Fang Zheng Yi stretched out his hand and pointed at her: "This is Miss Luo Ning Xin, from now on, everyone is family."

"Ning Xin, let me introduce you, this is Xiao Tao, my maid, this is Zhang Biao..."

Luo Ning Xin smiled and nodded to everyone, showing some demeanor of a hostess!

After a brief introduction, Fang Zheng Yi called out to Bai Yi: "Xiao Bai, come here!"

Bai Yi walked to Fang Zheng Yi's side bashfully, and Fang Zheng Yi habitually rubbed her head twice: "Ning Xin, to be honest, our family's situation is quite difficult."

"Logically speaking, we should give you monthly allowance every month, but we really can't afford it now! I'm sorry for you."

"But don't worry, there will be enough to eat and drink!"

"From now on, you will be Xiao Bai's maid, work hard!"

Crack! ️

A bolt of lightning struck Luo Ning Xin's mind.

Maid... Shouldn't I be a concubine? You said you loved me, you bastard!!

Why do you want me to be a maid? And you don't even give me a penny!

At this moment, Luo Ning Xin felt as if her heart had been stabbed with a big hole, and grievance and sorrow welled up together, and she looked at Fang Zheng Yi with tears in her eyes.

Only to see that Fang Zheng Yi didn't look at her at all, and was still rubbing the head of that Xiao Bai.

He said with a look of intimacy: "Xiao Bai, you are always clumsy, you can't do any work well, I'm worried about you!"

"Today I'll give you a maid, you two get along well! Tell me! Am I good to you?"

Bai Yi was about to cry: "Young Master, you are so good to me."

"But why is she called Ning Xin, shouldn't she be called Xiao Xin?"

"Because her name has three characters."

"......."

My name also has three characters! Bai Yi was so angry that she almost crushed her silver teeth.

After speaking, Fang Zheng Yi turned to Luo Ning Xin: "Ning Xin, Xiao Bai is Xiao Tao's maid, don't look down on her just because she is a maid! Her status in our mansion is extraordinary!"

Crack! ️

It seemed that another bolt of lightning struck.

Luo Ning Xin's heart was about to be shattered.

A maid's maid's maid? I'm a courtesan... have I fallen to this point?!

Luo Ning Xin looked at Xiao Bai with grievance.

She was stunned for a moment, and suddenly relieved.

It turned out that with her looks, she could only be a maid....

Tears, unconsciously flowed down....

Fang Zheng Yi looked at Luo Ning Xin and asked: "Ning Xin, why are you crying, do you feel too wronged?"

"If you feel wronged, I can tell the Prince and let you go back to Cangxiang Pavilion."

Luo Ning Xin was full of bitterness, go back? She couldn't go back!

Being given away, and then sent back, she didn't know what fate awaited her.

This kind of situation usually doesn't end well, the more she thought about it, the deeper the fear.

Luo Ning Xin shook her head vigorously and wiped away her tears.

"No... Nv... I'm happy."

"Oh, happy tears, our Fang residence is indeed a good place, don't be too touched, from now on you are a member of the Fang residence!"

Many people present laughed, clapped and applauded to welcome her, and the hall was filled with a cheerful atmosphere for a while.

Only Xiao Bai, bit her lower lip aggrievedly, fearing that she would cry out.

She couldn't forget... she would never forget the fear of being dominated by Fang Zheng Yi that day.

...........

Prince Wu's Mansion.

Prince Wu bowed and observed the telescope.

Butler Chen waited beside him, and seeing Prince Wu get up, he smiled and said: "Your Highness is in a good mood today?"

Prince Wu nodded with a smile: "Not bad, seeing Fang Zheng Yi today was about the same as I thought."

"It can be seen that he can understand what I said, it's hard to find a confidant."

Butler Chen asked: "Then... why did Your Highness change his mind and send Miss Ning Xin out?"

Prince Wu showed disdain: "A stupid woman, just send her away, she's useless."

"As for Cangxiang Pavilion, with a little effort, you can find out about this Prince, Fang Zheng Yi won't not know."

"Instead of investigating in secret, it's better to be open and honest, so as not to spoil the impression."

Butler Chen asked in confusion: "Your Highness, I see that Lord Fang and the Crown Prince are inseparable and have a very good relationship, is this deal okay for the Crown Prince to know?"

"And this deal between you and him is obviously not profitable, do you want to buy Fang Zheng Yi? I remember you once said that Fang Zheng Yi doesn't love money?"

Prince Wu sneered: "Crown Prince? A summer insect cannot speak of ice, if I were Fang Zheng Yi, I would never hang out with the Crown Prince!"

"The reason why he is like this is just his duty."

"I'm just guessing that he doesn't love money, but the road between Taoyuan County and the capital has been opened, and many industries in Taoyuan County may move to the outskirts of the capital."

"If he needs money, this batch of silver from this Prince can help a lot."

"As for buying him off, of course it's best to buy him off directly, no one in this world can't be bought off, it's just a different price."

"Fang Zheng Yi may be more expensive... but this Prince has money and time."

"Sooner or later, this Prince will truly cooperate with him once."

"Your Highness is wise!"
