Chapter 405 Going to meet Zhang Wanting
I heard the servant come to report that Lord Xiao Fang was here to visit.
A hint of doubt flashed in Zhang Mingxuan's eyes.
This Lord Xiao Fang is Princess Zhaohua's lover. He usually only goes in and out of the princess's mansion and never makes friends with other people.
Even in this mansion, he had only interacted with his eldest sister.
Yes, big sister.
Zhang Mingxuan suddenly realized that Fang Ping might not be looking for him, but for his elder sister Zhang Wanting.
Thinking of this, Zhang Mingxuan said: "Please ask him to go to the study, and then ask the eldest lady to come over!"
The weather was very cold these two days, so Zhang Wanting did not go out.
The preliminary preparations for the Women's Technical College have been almost completed, and now we have to wait until after the spring examination before we can start recruiting students.
Of course, according to Her Royal Highness the Princess's wishes, it would be best if the first batch of new students were innocent girls rescued from Fangyuan.
If those boys experienced this kind of thing, they might still be accepted by their families, but those girls...
In this era, women's chastity was extremely important. Even those girls who refused to submit and were locked up in the cellar and tortured would be overshadowed by the fact that they were rescued from Fangyuan.
Therefore, they need to receive education and learn skills more.
These people are currently arranged by Zhong Ning in a large house in Qingliu Lane, and a female tutor has been invited to teach them at home.
After their initial initiation, they will be the first batch of students at the Women's Technical College.
Thinking of this, Zhang Wanting realized that she had actually been in a passive state since she came here.
On the contrary, Zhong Ning has been taking the initiative to do things.
And she took on this cause and effect, but did not repay this era.
Just as she was thinking this, a servant came to report that the young master wanted to see her. Zhang Wanting was suspicious, after all, she and Zhang Mingxuan had an ordinary relationship.
Not that good, but not that stiff either.
In addition, after the Fangyuan incident, she also had some resentment towards Zhang Mingxuan. After all, his action directly affected the reputation of the entire Pingning Marquis Mansion.
It’s okay for her, but the key is her younger sister’s marriage. What if it is affected?
"Do you know what it is?" Zhang Wanting asked.
The servant replied, "I don't know, I just heard that Master Xiao Fang is also in the front yard..."
Lord Xiaofang?
Fang Ping?
What is he here for?
Although they were all fellow time travelers, it was obvious that Fang Ping was closer to Zhong Ning. In the past, they had always maintained a distance and treated him as just a friend.
Now!
Zhang Wanting thought about how Fang Ping's eyes were fixed on Zhong Ning in the princess's mansion.
Zhong Ning is also very capable. She is actually engaged to the Prime Minister's legitimate son. It is said that she also has a lover in the mansion. Her little tricks to control men really make her feel itchy.
But she had no intention of learning, after all, she already had Lu Xingzhou.
She had great respect for Lu Xingzhou's identity, whether here or in modern times. If she wanted to get along well with him, she couldn't hurt his feelings.
But Zhong Ning, I think she just wants to experience the feeling of being in love.
She didn't think Zhong Ning would get married in this era.
And from what Zhong Ning said last time, she knew that she should have found a way to go back, otherwise why would she ask that.
I just don’t know what this method is?
And what was Fang Ping's purpose in suddenly coming to find him?
When Zhang Wanting arrived at Xuanting Pavilion where Zhang Mingxuan was and saw Fang Ping, she was suddenly asked, "Do you speak English?"
Zhang Wanting nodded blankly.
She was arranged to study aristocratic courses since she was a child and is proficient in five languages: English, Russian, Japanese, Korean and German, especially English, which can be regarded as her second mother tongue.
Fang Ping took out a small booklet written in English from his arms (actually the space), which was the thinnest book in the bookcases, and handed it over.
Zhang Wanting took the book and her pupils constricted instantly. This, this is...
"How did you get this?" Zhang Wanting asked.
Fang Ping simply replied, "Take a look at what's written on it. I only know simple spoken English, so I can't quite understand what it says."
"You haven't answered my question yet..." Zhang Wanting's eyes were stubborn and her tone was solemn. Fang Ping glanced around and realized someone was eavesdropping. He said calmly, "Do you have to ask so clearly?"
Zhang Wanting followed his gaze and looked around. Knowing this was not the place to talk, she pushed the booklet back and said, "I don't understand. Take it back!"
Fang Ping took the booklet and looked at Zhang Wanting. She took two steps closer, half covering her face, and said softly, "I'll go to the Princess's Mansion later..."
Fang Ping also knew that he had been impulsive today. It was just that Zhang Wanting had been too busy recently and he really couldn't see her, so he rashly came to her house.
"Sorry to bother you, goodbye!" Fang Ping bowed and turned to leave.
Zhang Wanting looked at his back, feeling somewhat puzzled, but then she thought, since she had the golden finger, how could others not have it?
Putting aside other things, just looking at Zhong Ning's peerless martial arts skills is unacceptable.
Before, everyone had been laughing it off and refused to touch on this point, but now, Fang Ping took the initiative to take this step, probably because he had something to ask for.
Zhang Wanting suddenly thought of what she had read in the newspaper two days ago, that Dayong was going to establish an academy of science. Fang Ping was so eager, probably because he wanted to leave more information for the academy.
I just don’t know what type of golden finger he has?
She has a growing space, so she rarely has to worry about food and drink.
And since Fang Ping was able to produce the original English version of the book, could it be that he has a time-space trading system?
What about Zhong Ning?
Zhang Wanting began to think divergently. She thought that Zhong Ning must have some kind of wise minister or upgrade system. After all, judging from her recent big moves, it didn't seem like she was playing house at all, but rather like she was cleaning up the court.
Although she didn't know much about state affairs, she knew that if she were in another world, it would be best not to touch the interests of too many people.
This goes against the laws of survival.
However, Zhong Ning's Fangyuan incident caused a lot of uproar and brought down dozens of court officials. Although it was gratifying to the people, it also offended many people.
She actually doesn't agree with this kind of game where you just flip the table.
She prefers to make small things out of big ones and not go against too many interest groups, otherwise she will easily push herself into a desperate situation.
In fact, this is one of the reasons why she doesn't want to go to the princess's mansion recently.
She was a weakling, and if she was targeted by someone and used as a handle to threaten Zhong Ning, she would not be able to escape.
She admired Zhong Ning's courage to speak up for the grassroots people, but she did not agree with it. Years of education taught her that people should only save themselves first.
Sometimes, there are some things that are better left unsaid. There is no need to get involved too much.
After all, the people here have nothing to do with them.
