In these two aristocratic schools, the Zhejiang Catholic Church accounts for 90% of the shares of the aristocratic schools.

Therefore, Ms. Lin has the right to open the back door to any student, which also means that she has the right to refuse any student entry into the school.

She also became a well-known comprador tycoon in Hangzhou's education sector.

Ms. Lin has a house in the north of the city called Yayuan, which belongs to her territory. The architecture of the house is also imitation of Western style.

When Bai Suling, mother and daughter walked into Yayuan and arrived at the most gorgeous banquet hall in the mansion, they saw lingering lingerie and fragrant hair on the temples, as well as fragrant servant girls like clouds.

A maid entertained Bai Suling and her daughter.

"Isn't Ms. Lin here?" As soon as she sat down, Li Shuying looked around.

In the distance, a woman wearing a royal blue brocade cheongsam and a long tasseled shawl draped over her shoulders was walking back and forth in several rooms on the side of the hall.

"Did you see that? That's Ms. Lin. She is so fashionable and beautiful!" someone beside her murmured.

A tall woman, about thirty years old, with curly hair, very beautiful makeup, and strong red lips that looked enchanting.

She is dressed in a Western style and is truly a representative figure of contemporary women's liberation.

Her fringed shawl lingered around her waist, like a siren surrounded by water plants, and it was so beautiful that it scorched the eyes.

"Yes, so beautiful!" Li Shuzhen also sighed very much, she really wanted to be like this.

Around Ms. Lin, there were successive waves of flatterers.

When Bai Suling saw Ms. Lin entering the banquet hall from the corridor, she hurriedly got up and walked straight towards her.

"Hello Ms. Lin!"

Ms. Lin raised her eyes and exclaimed:

"Oh, isn't this Mrs. Li? Haha... I was so negligent just now. Please go to the small living room and sit for a while. I'll be there right away!"

Ms. Lin still had a high opinion of Bai Suling.

Although Li Cunzhi only had a third-grade official rank, which was one or two ranks lower than that of governor and chief envoy, he was the envoy of Zhejiang Province, the co-commander of the New Army, and held military power, making him a popular figure in the military circles.

Accompanied by the Yayuan maid, Bai Suling and her daughter entered the small living room and sat down.

After a while, Ms. Lin came in charmingly.

"Mrs. Li, is there anything you want today?" She is used to getting straight to the point.

"Oh, it's not the New Year, come and wish me a happy New Year!" As soon as she finished speaking, Bai Suling took out an exquisite small gift box and presented it.

The gift box contains a string of crystal clear pearl necklaces, which are expensive.

This was customized by Chen Tianhua from Chen Zongyu years ago. The two wives, one sister-in-law, and two young ladies of the Li family each had a string.

"Oh, this is so beautiful, thank you Mrs. Li!"

Ms. Lin said a few polite words and asked the personal maid to put it away.

There are too many gift-givers every year, including governors, envoys and their families, who come to pay homage. This is very common.

There are foreigners behind her.

"How my two daughters are doing in school and whether they can arrange to study abroad, this worries Ms. Lin!" Bai Suling was also straightforward and raised the topic of the visit.

"That's not true. Your two daughters are both excellent in character and academics in the church. However, Miss Shuzhen's English test was not very satisfactory this time. Her nun's teacher reported that she was inattentive... These may affect the current situation.

Go abroad."

Ms. Lin communicated with Bai Suling about the situation reported by the nuns.

"Qianhua, is that true?" Bai Suling turned to ask Li Shuzhen.

"Yeah." Li Shuzhen nodded in shame, her cheeks turning crimson.

"That's right, Mrs. Li! Your eldest daughter, Miss Shuying, whose moral character and grades meet the recommended requirements, can consider studying abroad. You should consider it in advance!"

After hearing this, Li Shuying stared at Bai Suling excitedly.

"Oh, I will go back and discuss this matter with my husband. Once confirmed, I will contact you as soon as possible. Thank you for your concern."

Bai Suling felt a little disappointed. She originally thought Qianhua could pass the test, but she didn't expect to fall behind the second family again.

"Okay, if you think about it, please tell me as soon as possible. I can arrange it here easily! Mrs. Li, I'm very sorry. I have some things to do here, so I won't accompany you!"

After saying this, Ms. Lin stood up and walked out the door, disappearing among the dignitaries and ladies waiting outside.

It is estimated that these dignitaries and ladies came to pay New Year's greetings for their children's admission to school, study abroad and other matters.

In the late Qing Dynasty, if a girl wanted to marry into a high-ranking and wealthy family, she must not only be young and beautiful, but also have a good educational background.

A certain foreign school, a women's school...

Of course, it is best to have an overseas background.

Therefore, many well-off families now use their daughters as cash cows to invest, and even borrow money to finance their education.

Then, it has become a custom and fashion for young masters to introduce young men to powerful people through their connections.

Therefore, this increasingly strong trend and fashion has also created an "educational comprador" like Ms. Lin who can be famous and wealthy.

On the way home, Bai Suling and her daughter, Xiuying, couldn't help but ask: "Sanniang, can your family send me to study abroad?"

"I will discuss this with your father, don't bother!" Bai Suling replied angrily.

Li Shuying had no choice but to shut up first.

"Porchi!" Li Shuzhen couldn't help but snicker.

"Why are you laughing? You still have the nerve to laugh. Hurry up and go home to study and pass the English exam. That's the business."

"I have been distracted this semester, and I will definitely pass the next semester. I am Sister Xiao. She thinks about going abroad every day, and my father finally agreed. But my brother-in-law's family wants to get married and have children first before going abroad. I am very happy.

I support it, but my father is not willing. Hehe!"

Li Shuzhen seemed very happy and even hummed a ditty.

"you…"

Li Shuying was so angry that she stopped talking and moving.

She is like a calm statue, with a long-lasting smile on her lips, like a mask. Outsiders don't know what expression is underneath the smiling mask.

Her fiancé’s family hopes that she will get married as soon as possible and have a son soon, and it will not be too late to consider studying abroad after marriage.

But she hoped to go before the wedding or leave after the wedding, so that there would be no baggage.

Now, she hopes to get her father's support.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Who said your father doesn't agree? Take care of yourself first, you useless thing!"

It's rare for Bai Suling to scold her baby girl like this today.

The mother and daughter returned to the official residence.

As soon as the car stopped, Li Shuying jumped out of the car and ran into her mother's courtyard.

After Bai Suling got out of the car, she saw that Li Shuzhen didn't move. She turned around and said, "What's the matter? Do you still want your mother to carry you out of the car? You are already an adult."

"Mom, I want to go and play on the south bank of Yunsi River. Maybe my senior sisters Liu Yufang and Chen Qimei are in the Chen Mansion." Li Shuzhen had other ideas.

"Okay, you go!" Thinking that Chen Tianhua was also in the Chen Mansion on the south bank of the Yunsi River, Bai Suling walked into the official residence helplessly.
