After being married off, she was favored by the powerful official

Chapter 194 Studying

All the dignitaries in the room looked at each other, and no one was willing to speak first.

They were feeling mixed emotions right now. They were glad that they didn't have a falling out with Gu Jin last time, but they also felt helpless in asking for help.

I have lived to an old age, never asking for anything I want, and never been humble in my life. But now I have to sacrifice my reputation for the sake of my children and grandchildren's education. This feeling is really...

Gu Jinze drank tea leisurely.

Studying is not an easy thing. In order to get their children into good schools, modern parents not only have to prepare school district housing in advance, but some schools will even interview the parents. It can be said to be a very difficult task.

Not only does her school have top-ranking and second-place finishers as teachers, but now there is also a fat old man joining. In terms of teaching staff, how many schools in the capital can compare with hers!

"Madam Qingyun, I'm sure you know why we're here. Do you think there's room for negotiation?"

Gu Jin had previously announced that admission to school must be subject to an assessment, and they did not have much confidence in the character of their own children and grandchildren.

Gu Jin put down the teacup and smiled faintly, "No one is perfect. It is not unforgivable to make mistakes when you are young."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, but Gu Jin added: "It is inevitable for young people to fight and cause trouble, but I will never tolerate bullying the people and abusing women."

The faces of several people changed instantly, and they secretly hated their own kids for not living up to their expectations and thinking about the trivial things below their waistlines all day long!

"Anyone who wants to apply can just hand me an application form, and I will personally examine it. As long as their moral character is beyond doubt, our school welcomes everyone to enroll."

Most people were still very happy, especially those who had good seedlings at home, their mouths were almost stretched to their ears.

"There is one more thing, which is the tuition fee."

Some people can't help but ask, "Isn't this school always free?"

Gu Jin smiled, his eyes curved like crescent moons, "That was when we were facing ordinary people. How can your status and position be the same as theirs!"

"As one wishes."

Gu Jin called out, and Ruyi responded by handing everyone a price list.

Everyone took a quick look and their eyes widened.

"This... how can it be priced like this!"

This was the first time in their lives that they had seen tuition fees charged separately for different individuals. The annual tuition fees for the residences of dukes, marquises, and first-rank officials ranged from 10,000 to 15,000 taels, while the tuition fees for the residences of marquises and second-rank officials ranged from 7,000 to 10,000 taels.

Gu Jin felt that he was very considerate. These fluctuations were also made taking into account that some families only had status but no real power, so the tuition fees would be determined according to their current situation.

"It's fair, transparent and fair." Gu Jin smiled like a flower, but in the eyes of others, it made people hate her. "We believe in mutual consent and never force anything."

Are you kidding? They are so rich and yet they want to take advantage of her!

The school is a gold mine, so we have to get income from these powerful people.

Gu Jin's asking price is astronomical, but even so there is still no shortage of students. After all, old man Lin Danqing alone is worth the tuition.

Gu Jin looked at the pile of banknotes in the box with a slight smile on his face, and then he looked at the sad-looking dignitaries and his mood suddenly became better.

"By the way, I have another good news to tell you all." Sharing happiness with others is worse than enjoying it alone, and Gu Jin couldn't wait to share the good news with them.

"A gentleman should master the six arts: etiquette, music, archery, charioteering, calligraphy, and mathematics. An excellent man should not only be intelligent but also have a strong body, so I have invited a famous teacher to teach you riding, archery, boxing and kicking skills. This gentleman will also serve as the school's principal."

The crowd, including the famous teachers, couldn't help but discuss the topic with great interest. Although they didn't expect their children and grandchildren to learn martial arts, it always helps to have more skills.

But when they saw who it was, their faces instantly lost color.

Li Ziheng glanced at everyone indifferently, then looked at Gu Jin with curved eyebrows, "Xiao Jin'er, I'm here."
