The dean of the academy yelled at the student who asked the question, "Bold! You're talking nonsense! Hurry up and back down!"

The dean turned his head to apologize to Xiaobao, "Don't blame the second prince, this man has lost his mind, I will order someone to drag him out."

Xiaobao stopped him and made a big appearance. "Oh, that's not necessary! I'm an honest and trustworthy person. Since I just said that I can speak freely and ask questions boldly, I won't blame him or you."

Xiaobao asked the student to hand in the article in his hand, "Let me see how this article is written."

Xiao Bao hurriedly glanced at the article, and everyone exchanged glances uneasily.

After a while, Xiao Bao put down the article and said with a smile: "This article is a bit crude."

Xiaobao commented on the article on the spot, pointed out the mistakes in the use of several allusions, and changed a few sentences. After his revision, several key sentences were more concise and concise, and the reading was smoother, adding a lot of color to the article.

All the people present were scholars with basic appreciation skills. Everyone was very surprised. They didn't expect this young prince to be so knowledgeable.

Xiaobao smiled and said, "This article should be written by students from Jiangnan! To be honest, I'm a little disappointed. I always thought that students from Jiangnan were of a very high level. Such articles are circulated among you..."

Xiao Bao shook his head, he didn't finish his sentence, but the faces of all the students were a little hot.

The student who asked the question said: "The article is really poor, but you didn't answer Caomin's question, Second Prince, is it true?"

Xiao Bao smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I couldn't help but want to change it when I saw such an article, and I almost forgot the business."

He restrained his smile and said solemnly: "On behalf of the emperor, I can clearly tell everyone that this article is full of nonsense, and none of it is true.

Even if it is a prince, it is not that simple to seek to usurp the throne.When the first emperor was there, he wrote the imperial edict by himself. The edict was divided into three parts, written in Manchu, Mongolian, and Chinese, and there was absolutely no possibility of forgery.

When the first emperor was seriously ill, he supported his sick body and personally announced at the court meeting that he would pass on the throne to the current emperor, and arranged several confidant ministers for the emperor to pave the way for the emperor.The first emperor's love for the emperor is obvious to all in the civil and military courts of the Manchu dynasty. "

Xiaobao sighed, "You live in the south of the Yangtze River and haven't entered the officialdom yet. I can understand that you don't know these things. But you are scholars, you have read the books of sages and sages, and you will be admitted to the Jinshi examination in the future. You should have basic judgment skills.

If one day in the future you become a parent officer, are you going to convict others based on a nonsense article?You have to understand that if you wrong a person, a family will suffer accordingly. How will their parents and children live? "

The students bowed their heads in shame. They have not yet entered the officialdom, and they still have the enthusiasm and sense of justice that belong to young people.

Xiaobao continued: "This article has been circulating for a long time! Do you think that those who don't know are innocent? Have you ever thought that how many ignorant people will believe you spread this rumor at will? The image of the emperor will be affected. The country is in turmoil and instability, how many people will be there to clean up this mess? You study to do something that will benefit the country and the people, but in the end you have caused irreparable losses because of your inability to distinguish right from wrong."

The students lowered their heads in embarrassment, and the person who asked the question looked ashamed.

He cupped his hands and bowed to Xiaobao to apologize, "Caomin made the mistake of following others' advice, please punish the second prince."

Xiaobao sighed: "Forget it, the punishment will be avoided. You dare to question me face to face, but you are a bit lonely. If you know your mistakes, you can improve it. You should think twice before doing things in the future. Don't be taken advantage of by others."

Xiaobao asked the person who asked the question to sit down, and then asked the others if they had any questions to ask.

The atmosphere at the scene became relaxed again, and the accompanying officials and the dean were relieved.

At the end of this trip to the academy, Xiaobao specially called the first scholar who asked questions, and asked about his family situation, and promised to arrange a place for him when he came to Beijing for the exam, so that he would remember to go to Prince Yong's mansion post.

The accompanying officials understood that this scholar was lucky, and a bold question caught the eyes of the second prince.The other students were even more envious. Who would have thought that the Second Prince would be so friendly, they would have known that they would also ask some sharp questions, which would have caught the Second Prince's attention.

The trip to the academy went smoothly, the scholar who asked boldly was Xia Er's entrustment, otherwise who would have the courage to ask the prince such a sharp question, unless he didn't want to live.After returning from the academy, Xiaobao paid close attention to the development of the matter.

The scholars in that academy have all become Xiaobao's fanboys, boasting about Xiaobao's generosity and kindness spontaneously, and they also tell other people what happened during the questioning session to clear up the rumors for Xiaobao.

Seeing that the false rumors gradually dissipated, Xiaobao was completely relieved, and he finally completed Huang Ama's confession.

The matter of the rumors was settled, and Xiaobao began to solve his own reputation problem again.

After accepting a bunch of girls, it is inevitable that some people will say that he is lustful. Although those scholars have a good impression of him, they will inevitably say that he is young and romantic.

Xia Er spends a lot of effort in training those girls, first of all to get rid of their pettiness, and secondly to let them learn to receive customers sincerely and enthusiastically.

There is no doubt about Xia'er's ability, but no matter where there are always a few thorns, there are a few girls who rely on their beauty and ability to act like a baby, and don't take Xia'er seriously.

They have been looking for opportunities to get close to Xiaobao. As long as the second prince accepts them, what can a shopkeeper do to them?

When Xiaobao learned about this, he immediately sent the prickly people to Zhuangzi to plant the land. He said that if these people planted rice, they would definitely set aside land for them and never let them have no land to plant.

With negative teaching materials, the rest of the girls are scared, and no one dares to make trouble.

Although it is a bit tiring to be a girl boy, but at least there is no wind or rain, and it will be miserable to go to Zhuangzi to farm the land. It will take less than a day to peel off a layer of skin.

The girls studied hard, and Xia Er quickly trained them well, and they were ready to work officially.

When it was the day when they started to work, Xiaobao specially prepared a meeting, and invited the officials and their family members who were sending them away.

The female relatives are entertained by Xia'er, and Xiaobao is in charge of all the officials.

While pushing and changing glasses at the banquet, Xiao Bao smiled and said, "I use all the girls you sent me."

Various officials: ... Is this something that can be said in public?

Xiaobao said: "There are a few who are strong and strong, I will send them to grow rice, and the rest are weak and weak, I will send them to the Ningzhuang Pavilion and let them work as buddies. The Ningzhuang Pavilion is the property of the empress. They only accept female customers as clerks, and they don’t need to show their faces, and they don’t need to be exposed to the wind and sun, no matter how you look at it, it’s a good home!”

An official laughed and said: "Second prince, those girls are all sent to serve you."

Xiaobao pretended to be naive, "Serve me? I am stepping forward, and the Empress has arranged for me many servants. I really don't need them here. Talents, it's better to put them in useful places. Don't you Do you also hope that these girls will have a good future with me?"

Xiao Bao smiled and said: "It happens that everyone is here today, so I will tell you about the benefits of Ningzhuang Pavilion!"

In the front, Xiaobao talked about benefits, and in the back, Xia Er also talked about the benefits of Ningzhuang Pavilion to the female family members.

"Our Ningzhuang Pavilion pays wages on time every month, and there are rituals every year and festivals. There are these common shops, so I don't need to go into details. Apart from these basics, our Ningzhuang Pavilion will deposit a sum of money for the guys in the bank every year. The money is accumulated year by year, and if the buddies need to buy medicines and houses, they can apply to get this part of the money from the bank.

Those just now are the benefits of ordinary employees. For those who perform well, Ningzhuang Pavilion has a stable promotion channel. If they do well, they can be promoted to manager and shopkeeper.The benefits in Beijing are even better than here. If you do a good job in Beijing, you can get a house or even a bonus, which is absolutely not available in other shops. "

Xia'er raised her glass and said with a smile: "Thank you, ladies, for your trust in our Ningzhuang Pavilion. If you entrust your goddaughters to me, Ningzhuang Pavilion will definitely give them a bright future."

The little treasure in front said the same thing. He drank the wine in one gulp and took the lead in applauding.

The officials looked at each other in blank dismay, they could only squeeze out a smile and applaud.

It's a pity that they spent so much effort and money on the beauties that they worked so hard to carefully train and train, all of them are now in vain.

Satisfied with his decision, Xiaobao warned the officials.

"It's still the time of national mourning, my lords, please be cautious in your words and deeds! The emperor likes loyal people, and your lords should also learn to do what they like."

The emperor only married one wife, why are you so romantic?Will you look at the face on the top!

All the officials obediently agreed, they wanted to seduce Xiaobao with their beauty, but who would have expected that they would not catch Xiaobao, but let Xiaobao order them, this is really...

After the meal, everyone went back to their homes, and the officials cursed in the car.Saying that Xiaobao doesn't like oil and salt, saying that he doesn't know how to pity and cherish jade, he is not a man.

After hearing this, the female relatives were unwilling, "Did the second prince invite you to provoke you? You wanted to use a beauty trick, but you were seen through, and you still have the face to call someone a man? You are a man, and it is not enough to have a bunch of wives at home." , but also to raise a few goddaughters who are enchanting and obtrusive at home!"

The weak-tempered female family member turned her head and sulked after a few rebuttals, and directly grabbed her husband's ear fiercely.

Appreciated by many female relatives, Xiaobao's lustful reputation was gone, and his affairs in Jiangnan were settled, so he packed his things and set off for Beijing.

After leaving the capital for so long, he really missed home.

In the capital, Shuwan was very embarrassed, and Xiaobao's mother-in-law and fiancee came to find her.
