Only then did Su Zhi realize what had happened. However, she still didn't understand why Shen Zhu was so astonished just now.

"Sir, please take a seat. My family does have a child of appropriate age who should be attending school. I haven't been able to find a suitable academy for you. It just so happens that you're here so that we can get to know each other better."

Su Zhi politely invited him to sit down and personally poured hot tea for him. She said respectfully, "I don't mean to offend you, sir. It's just that you're still young and your bearing is extraordinary. You shouldn't be worried about not being able to pass the examinations."

With Shen Zhu's recovery and talk, it shouldn't be a difficult task for him to become a student under the rank of a high ranking official. Besides, the Imperial examinations involved ten thousand students trying to get to the top, so how many people had failed to pass the examinations for most of their lives? This wasn't the only thing he should do to get back at them.

Hearing her question, Shen Zhu calmly smiled without a trace of regret, "My ambition is not to become an official. Furthermore, the current imperial court has the Zhao Family …"

He didn't continue speaking. He looked at the woman before him with a complicated expression and kept silent.

Since it was a matter of personal preferences, there was really nothing much to explain.

Su Zhi nodded and smiled, "That's alright. Tao You doesn't like to be an official. He prefers to waste his time in the morning."

Shen Zhu smiled indifferently, silently looking at the round words of the girl. His heart ached, and when he caught a glimpse of her scabbed hands from the corner of his eye, he frowned, and sorrowfully turned his face away.

"I wonder where mister is currently living. I'll go back and discuss it in detail with my child. If he is willing, I'll bring him here tomorrow to pay my respects to mister."

"I've always been in Moon Residence. I've never left."

Su Zhi understood and silently memorized the name. She could not help but look at Shen Zhu twice more, and she was also satisfied from the bottom of her heart.

For such a man to have such a good time, he must have an extremely good temper. He must have been very patient with his children, so he could be at ease when he told A Jin to go over to his side.

"That's good. In that case, I'll go back and discuss it with my child. Although his talent isn't the best, he is still intelligent and quick-witted. I'm afraid that you will have to put some effort into it."

Shen Zhu nodded his head and said, "It is my duty to be a teacher. To impart knowledge and dispel doubts is naturally to do my best."

Such a righteous attitude made Su Zhi overjoyed. No matter what, the teachers who came to the door had to be firmly captured.

"I only came today because my life was forced. Let's see if I can recruit a few students to disturb Lady Su."

Shen Zhu got up and was about to leave, but Su Zhi hurriedly got up and sent him downstairs.

At the same time, the lady who had just walked out of the corridor looked at the situation downstairs with disdain. She glanced at the servants beside her and then left.

After sending Shen Zhu off, Li Yi put down the account book in his hand and came over. He asked Su Zhi, "Who is this? He didn't buy anything and specifically came to find you."

Su Zhi smiled and replied, "My name is Shen Zhu, and I'm a teacher. It looks like my A Jin has a chance to go to the academy.

Most of the people in Xuancheng have power, and many of them have their own private schools. It is almost impossible for ordinary citizens to enter.

Even the few prestigious institutions in the city were filled with students. Su Zhi had a lot of headaches over this matter, so it could be considered as having been solved today.

Li Yi was astounded when he heard this. "Who did you say?" Shen Zhu? The one from old mister Shen's house? "

Su Zhi blinked in confusion and asked, "You know him?"

"Tch ~"

He raised his hand: "Go outside and ask around. Who doesn't know about the Shen family?" This ancestor of Shen Zhu's had once been a teacher of the previous emperor. Back then, he had possessed an incomparable amount of glory and possessed an immense amount of honor. Ever since Shen Zhu was born, he was even more famous for being a prodigy. He had become an Elementary Scholar at the age of eleven, and a High Scholar at the age of twelve. It can be said that you are rich through studying, and you are extremely talented! "

It turned out to be another official family, but it looked like they had fallen into despair.

"Since he's so knowledgeable, why didn't he get into the top scorer's seat?"

After she mentioned it, Li Yi hurriedly lowered his voice, "You don't know anything about official matters. The one in the palace who kept suppressing the Shen family was originally one of the top three, but for some reason, he was pushed down by someone. "Last year, because of a small matter, he took a lawsuit. This Shen family is a civil servant, how could they know what was going on in the dark? Wouldn't they end up like this?"

Su Zhi understood the gist of it and also understood that it wasn't easy to keep up appearances. If the higher ups wholeheartedly wanted to suppress him, it would truly be difficult to rise above the masses.

Li Yi sighed, then said, "It's a pity about this Shen Zhu. He's a proud and unyielding character. Even though I have a heart full of ambitions, I am unable to display them.

The dignified young master of the Shen family, who was once such a noble and elegant person, was pushed aside by the Zhao family, unwilling to lower his head to express his goodwill. In the end, he ended up begging for a student.

"How did Brother Li find out about this?" Su Zhi raised her eyebrows in confusion.

Li Yi harrumphed once again, "Anyone with some character would pity the Shen family. There were also many officials who pleaded for leniency, but before the papers could be delivered to the emperor, they were suppressed by the cabinet. "

Su Zhi was even more confused. Hadn't the cabinet always held the power of the Liu Family? If the Shen Family was really suspected of being wrongly accused, why would the Liu Family sit idly by?

"Didn't the Cabinet say anything?"

Li Yi shook his head. "Of course not. You don't know that the empress is so deeply rooted that she can't be easily shaken." How could Liu Zaifu contend with the castrated army alone? But that was in the past, and now that the new Zai Fu has taken office, if someone is willing to bring up the matter of the Shen family, it might be another sign. "

After listening to Li Yi's indignant words, Su Zhi was deeply worried.

That being the case, the Shen family might not be able to stay safe. If they were to send A Jin over, would they be implicated?

Although she admired Shen Zhu's upright character, she was more worried about the safety of her child.

"Now that Brother Li has said that, I'm actually a bit worried for A Jin."

"Hey, you don't have to worry about that. There is no one else in the Shen family who is an official now. After all, they can't just force people onto a path of no return.

Su Zhi giggled, thought about it, and then put down her grudge and went back to the third floor to greet Li Yi.

As soon as she got up, Qiu Hong jumped out and excitedly said to her, "Boss must have made a new hand cream and it was bought by that lady just now. "If the price is not low, one bottle will cost six taels of silver."

Su Zhi replied, feeling a little disappointed in her heart. Originally, she had wanted to find a chance to talk to that lady, but she had been delayed.

Since the sales were good, she could make more to sell.

After Shen Zhu left Flower Mansion, she walked around the pedestrians and arrived at a quiet alley. Seeing that no one was following her, she pushed open the low wooden door and walked in.

Upon entering, a servant dressed as a servant led the way. Without saying a word, Shen Zhu followed him into the small courtyard.

In the simple and unadorned small yard were two golden red plums, and next to it were two stone tables and two wooden stools. The green-clothed female servant sat on the stools and occasionally looked outside.

When Shen Zhu entered, the servant girl hurriedly stood up to greet him.
