The legitimate daughter was reborn, and the emperor’s little Jiaojiao went crazy.

Rich man surnamed Chen! Chen Yuan!

He said, "I am not short of money!"

Those who have spent all their wealth are naturally short of more than just money! So... maybe he is after status?

Since ancient times, merchants had a low status. Even if they were extremely rich, they were still excluded from the ranks of officials and nobles.

The initial merchants in the North Wing Country lived a very depressed life.

Even if they have plenty of money, the government clearly stipulates that merchants cannot live in big houses or travel in tall sedan chairs. They are not even allowed to wear silk clothes, let alone become officials, become marquises and become prime ministers.

The development of the North Wing Kingdom later improved slightly, and the government no longer regulated merchants' homes and carriages, nor did they restrict their clothing, which was considered a very preferential treatment. However, merchants were still unable to enter officialdom and were not eligible to participate in the imperial examination.

It was not until Emperor Mingde succeeded to the throne that he was thirsty for talents and relaxed the policy. Not only were merchants allowed to become officials and take part in the imperial examination, but they were also allowed to engage in business at home.

After this initiative was implemented, few officials in the North Wing were actually doing business. Because from the bottom of my heart I despise merchants and think it is a lowly industry.

But for merchants, this is an improvement in status. Although there are very few people who can actually pass the county and township examinations and go all the way to the palace examination.

Chen Yuanding heard that the Hou Mansion was going to open a family academy, so he didn't want any money because he wanted to hold a martial arts competition in May.

He needs a formal ethnic education and works hard to become famous before the martial arts competition. When the time comes, coupled with the reputation of the Chen family for squandering all their wealth, they will surely be favored by Emperor Mingde.

Chen Yuan's plan is quite good! Shi Anxia respects everyone who is willing to use legitimate means to fight for their future.

She thought leisurely, then why not let her go to Baoguo Temple?

She couldn't help but ask, "Does Chen Yuan know Shi Anrou?"

Hong Que's face was a little frightened, "Ye Bao'er knocked down Miss An Rou that day and almost bit her to death. It was the palace guard who stopped Ye Bao'er. The slave girl was also present at that time, and Miss An Rou kept asking the slave girl, what happened to the mansion?" The servant said she didn’t know how the chief of guard entered the Hou Mansion. Then one day, the servant saw Miss An Rou talking to the chief of guard, and she didn’t know what they said...and..."

At this point, she paused, feeling very embarrassed.

Shi Anxia frowned slightly, "What?"

Hong Que panicked, hurriedly squeezing Ye Bao'er and knelt on the ground with a sad face, "The chief of guards seems to have accepted Miss An Rou's money."

Bei Hui glared, "Why didn't you tell the girl earlier?"

Hong Que was so anxious that she almost burst into tears, "Because, in front of Miss Anrou, the chief guard changed hands and rewarded the silver to other guards. At that time, Miss Anrou was so angry that she almost cried. Servant Thinking about it, thinking about it...the girl was infected with cold in the past few days, and her health was not good, but it was nothing important, so she didn't report it."

Shi Anxia gently rubbed her head and said, "Okay, get up."

Bei Hui glared again in anger, "The girl is spoiling you! You have to be aware of it! If you don't report something after seeing it, do you know how much trouble it will bring to the girl?"

Red Magpie lowered his head and did not dare to say a word.

Bei Hui continued to educate her, "When we walk outside, we are the girl's eyes and ears. Whenever there is a difference, you have to report it to the girl. As for whether the information is useful, it is up to the girl to judge, not you. "

Hong Que responded calmly, "Yes, Sister Beihui. Thanks to Sister Beihui for the heads up."

Shi Anxia smiled warmly at Bei Hui, "She remembers it, don't scare her."

Bei Hui glanced at the girl helplessly and turned his head to the other side. The girl has been very strange lately, and she absolutely loves the girls in the house.

Since the girl is willing to sing the red face, then she has to sing the white face. Otherwise, it won't work if these girls lose all their rules and go crazy.

Hong Que made a mistake and simply sat on the ground. He touched Ye Bao'er with one hand and hugged the girl's calf with the other. He pressed his face against the girl's leg and murmured, "Girl, don't be angry. I know my fault." Yes. If I see you next time, I will definitely come and report you immediately."

Shi Anxia was thinking, could Chen Yuan become Shi Anrou's help?

To be honest, this person was hard for her to see through.

Even the answer was in front of her. Chen Yuan stopped Shi Anrou from going to Baoguo Temple, but for some reason, she didn't feel any danger.

Just like that day when she asked him to join the mansion as a guard, it wasn't really out of kindness that she would just take in people when she saw them.

She simply felt that he would not harm her.

The same is true today. Then let him be.

If Chen Yuan was really here for the martial arts competition in May, she wouldn't mind giving him a push.

The carriage passed the Andu Bridge and arrived at the foot of Baoguo Temple.

To go to Baoguo Temple, you need to walk up to ninety-nine steps to enter.

Bei Hui and Hong Que carefully helped the girl get out of the carriage.

Shi Anxia looked up at the end of the long staircase, and her clear eyes fell on the magnificent mountain gate.

She is here to break destiny.

Even if she meets Prince Jin like in her previous life, as long as she keeps her heart, she will not follow the old path again.

Escape has never been her style, so she doesn't want to go to Dazu Temple.

"Let's wait here for Miss Wei." Shi Anxia just finished speaking.

I heard someone shouting, "Avoid...His Royal Highness the King of Jin is coming!"

Everyone stepped aside.

Shi Anxia wanted to stand behind Shi Yun when he stood up, but Chen Yuan and Ye Baoer were already standing behind him.

She thought for a while and then retreated behind Chen Yuan with the maids.

In this way, Chen Yuan's tall body almost completely blocked her petite figure.

Shi Anxia lowered her head and watched Ye Baoer, who was lying aside, carefully digging at the snow with her paws.

She suddenly became playful and quietly bent down to pinch a small ball of snow in her hand. When Ye Baoer wasn't paying attention, he hit it on the head with a swish and then pretended as if nothing had happened.

Ye Baoer roared, his ears stood up and he turned his head, locking his eyes directly with her, with an aggrieved look as if he was asking, why did you hit me?

Shi Anxia lowered her head and smiled with her lips curled up, her eyebrows crooked, and she refused to admit her guilt.

She completely forgot to take a peek at King Jin's back, treating him like a passerby.

Even the phrase "His Royal Highness, King Jin, may you be blessed" was shouted in an extremely perfunctory manner.

After King Jin and his party walked away, she raised her head, and her clear and moist eyes happened to catch Chen Yuan's gaze as he turned to look at her.

Her smile froze and she returned to her usual calmness.

It happened that the Wei family's carriage also arrived.

Wei Yu stopped the carriage and jumped out of the carriage, saluting and smiling naively at Shi Anxia.

After the Wei Cailing sisters got out of the car, they exchanged joyful greetings and the group climbed up the stairs.

The ones walking at the front were Shi Yunqi and Wei Yuzhi.

Several girls walked in the middle, and finally Chen Yuan led Ye Baoer to the rear.

As soon as I walked into the mountain gate, I stood in the solemn courtyard covered with silver makeup, and several people hurriedly walked in front of me.

The person in charge was a very bright-looking girl.

She has delicate features, is wearing a green coat and a white cloak, with her hair styled in a double bun, and there is a hint of impatience between her brows.

Shi Anxia remembered that he had seen this girl in Baoguo Temple in his previous life.

At that time, the girl seemed to be hiding from someone, so she ran behind the Thousand Buddha Pagoda, and happened to bump into her first encounter with His Highness King Jin.

Now he is still the same person, but he showed up earlier.

A gentle-looking man chased out from behind, shouting, "Rong Yan..."

Rong Yan! Shi Anxia couldn't help but look sideways.
