Shi Gui is still Ye Wenxin's girl to the outside world, seeing the two talking, she retreated behind Ye Wenxin, standing outside the carved floor cover, the eaves are high and deep, the bottom is cool, there are many flowers and trees that cannot be named by the water, and the cloister doors on the left and right sides of the pavilion are engraved with words, one side is drinking green, and the other side is washing autumn.

Although it is a March day, it is just early spring in other places, Suizhou has been able to sit near the pool, because of the wind in the water pavilion, it is cooler than the next place, standing for a long time, the wind blows on the body, and relieves the lack of heat.

The little girl beside Mrs. Ji also brought a stool to Shi Gui, Shi Gui waved her hand again and again, and the girl smiled: "Sister doesn't know me? ”

Shi Gui then remembered her, the last time I saw her, I also followed Chunyan to eat rattan cakes, I didn't think that the goodbye would be in Suizhou, Shi Gui smiled at her, and she asked for dim sum tea in the kitchen: "Sister sat down a little, came from outside the city, and walked a lot." ”

Shi Gui just sat down, knowing that Mrs. Ji was going to have a long talk, so he also got up with her, telling her where she lived outside the city and what she saw and heard on the way to Suizhou.

I'm afraid that Mrs. Ji asked her to ask, and there is nothing to be afraid of, even if she doesn't say anything, she can inquire about such things, but she doesn't know what she plans to do with the silver.

The girl came over with an eight-treasure box, which contained seven or eight small snacks, and rested on the low table, Mrs. Ji took Ye Wenxin's hand, and the two sat on the pear blossom wood couch, separated by the low table, and laughed: "I don't know what kind of tea you eat, thinking that your aunt likes light, I made a pot of osmanthus shuangyao." ”

Ye Wenxin hurriedly thanked her, Mrs. Ji looked at her carefully, and felt that she was more and more like, but she didn't say anything, only praised: "You came back in the old year, my mother saw you, and then she often said that you were born with a good face." ”

If she hadn't mentioned it, Ye Wenxin would have forgotten it a long time ago, she was slightly stunned at this time, and it seemed like a matter of her previous life to enter the palace, when she had just been imprisoned, the aunt at home had told her that if she really entered the palace and chose the show, the family would not have fallen into such a field.

That aunt was slapped twice in a row by Ruiye, although she was lame, she refused to let go of her breath, and she refused to leave even half a step tightly, Ye Wen's heart and body trembled suddenly, Ruiye was sold to the south, and it took a long time to inquire about this news, the mountains and rivers are far away, and I don't know where it fell.

Mrs. Ji saw that she knew that she had reached the old thing, smiled slightly, and pushed the tea to her hand: "Since you have come here, you will live in peace, the past things, you can't think about it anymore, if you want to, just think about the future." ”

Ye Wenxin didn't bow his head this time, and smiled at Mrs. Ji: "I can save it." ”

Mrs. Ji breathed a sigh of relief, she was afraid that she was crying, she looked weak, but there was a rigidity in her bones, not only was life like, but even her temperament was a little imaginary, and she was a little distracted, but she was very willing to help her.

Since he called her to gossip, he asked her where she came to Suizhou to play: "There are a few places to see, such as the Suishi Cave of the Five Immortals Temple outside the city, which is not worse than the clouds of the Spring Dawn Mountain in Yaozhou, and the eight selected scenes are always considerable." ”

The two of them talked about some food and talked for a while, and after a round of talking, Ye Wenxin said: "I haven't had time to go to the next place, so I went to the women's market first to see the women's private school, but it's a pity that I haven't seen everyone Yan." ”

Mrs. Ji was slightly surprised, my sister has put a lot of effort into this school, and it has taken nearly 20 years of hard work to get to this point, which is not easy, and she smiled yearningly: "That can be regarded as a scene in Suizhou City, the second sister went out to sea, and this time I don't know where to turn, and I can always come back in July and August." ”

Ye Wenxin has a stomach full of things to say, but in front of Mrs. Ji is still shy, he can't hold her hand and say how to admire Yan in the boudoir, and really want to do the same thing with her, but this has been hidden in his heart for many years, he took a sip of tea, held a cup in his hand and opened his mouth: "My daughter is alive, and she looks like Yan everyone, so she will not go through this in vain." ”

Mrs. Ji smiled even more: "When she comes back, if you say it in front of her, she will be happy to hear it." "Mrs. Ji's words are not polite, my sister was only a teenager when she first arrived in Suizhou, two years older than Ye Wenxin, and she has money in her hands, but there is no one to use.

There is such a daughter in the family, and the eldest aunt is secretive, where is she willing to open the way for her, and throw her on the boundary of Suizhou, I don't know how she really stood up with one hand and one foot.

She often wrote back that Mrs. Ji was also the daughter of the boudoir, and later got married and followed her husband to Shu as an official, and when she returned to Jinling City to inquire about her news, she only said that she had set up a women's helphouse in Suizhou, helping girls from poor families, and if she had no food, she would come to ask for some food, and if she had no food to wear, she would give two old clothes, so that they could have a doctor to see when they were sick, and teach two words.

The kind wives in the city also took out the money, and donating it to the temple is not the same as donating it to the Jimin Center, but this Jimin Center is full of women.

There is food, clothing, and a tile to cover the rain, so Yan everyone thought about teaching them to learn words, so that they could support themselves, and at that time, the first batch of students worked in the silk mill of the third sister, did a day's work, and then learned a day's words.

The first to study was the girl from the city, and the girl from the countryside didn't know that there was such a school in the world, and it took two or three years to go to the countryside, and the persuasion of one by one said that it was useless to break the skin, and those people only came to buy people.

Although Mrs. Ji has been in Jinling for a long time, she has never broken off the correspondence with the Yan family, Ye Wenxin asked, and she said in detail: "Later, the second sister wrote a school registration document, and these people regarded it as a deed of sale. ”

It took more than ten years of work, in the end there is today's situation, followed by the silk embroidery workshop in Suizhou, recruited a large number of female workers, these female workers can support themselves, they are not dedicated to studying, the students in the female school gradually decreased, and finally left the young silk embroidery workshop does not accept, and the family can not survive.

Ye Wenxin listened to it for a long time without speaking, it turned out that he was enthusiastic, and he was still thinking about running a school at this time, and looked up at Mrs. Ji: "I came by boat all the way, and I had to inquire every time I arrived at the port, but except for Suizhou, there was no women's school next to it, and I wanted to run this school in Zhangzhou." ”

Mrs. Ji didn't realize that she still had such ambitions, thought about it for her, and slowly opened her mouth: "It's not that it can't be, Zhangzhou has been away for a long time, and the reputation of women's schools is not unheard. ”

With her ability to say a word of merit in the Qianqiu, Ye Wenxin treated each other sincerely, laughed suddenly, and opened up the work of eternity, naturally knowing that it is easier said than done, Yan everyone is a weak female stream like her, is it really weak, Suizhou can be done, and other places can also be done.

Mrs. Ji looked at her and smiled, and her heart moved: "Why don't you go to the women's school, there are still some school records in it, my sister, grew up in the Mei family, this set is very complete, but not everything is passed on to the outside, she has a lot of notes, just in the women's school, if you really want to do such a thing, there are a lot of things you should learn." ”

This is an unexpected joy in Ye Wenxin, Mrs. Ji looked at her as if she was about the same age as her daughter, and about the same as the second sister at that time, after suffering such a difficulty, she stood upside down to do something big, and laughed again: "The school has just left, if you are willing to do it, I will also pay you for the second sister." ”

Ye Wenxin was overjoyed, and looked at Mrs. Ji even more differently, she was in the Song family, what the old lady said was how to marry in the future, presumably the elders and daughters thought of this sentence when they saw her, only Mrs. Ji knew what she wanted to do, and was willing to introduce her to her, if she just wrote a letter to her aunt, she couldn't be so open-minded.

Mrs. Ji thought of her daughter, sighed in her heart, and pushed the box to Ye Wenxin, Ye Wenxin took a piece of rose cake, and saw what Mrs. Ji had also taken, but she had never seen it, Mrs. Ji laughed: "This is called Honey Three Knife, which is a dim sum from the north." ”

Ye Wenxin then remembered that Mrs. Ji's daughter married away to Yanjing, she must miss her daughter very much, even the dim sum was used from the north, the two of them drank a cup of tea, Mrs. Ji's aunt came over with a small brocade box, Mrs. Ji smiled at her, opened the box, and there was a flower booklet inside.

"This is sent to me by your aunt, saying that you will come to Suizhou in the future, and leave the things here with me first, and since I have received the things, I have to make a book for you, you can take a look, this is your aunt's makeup for you." Mrs. Ji took out the roster, a thick one, and opened it to write densely.

"She said it was a dowry, and gave me the silver, and asked me to look at the purchase of some fields and houses for you, I looked at it once, and there are also suitable ones, there is a field and a garden and a small Zhuangzi, so I will be the master to buy it for you, the title deed, and the two years of income are here, you can take a look. ”

Ye Wenxin has learned to be a housekeeper, and knows that Qian Bai is also put, Mrs. Ji actually bought a lychee orchard for her, the orchard is not big, three hundred acres of land, but there is water and flowers, and the annual income is a lot, but there are three or four thousand taels, Mrs. Ji looked at her and laughed in shock: "Fresh lychees are expensive, and there are dried lychees and lychee honey, everything is profitable, and they will either be sold or kept in the future, and the land price of that piece is not cheap." ”

In addition to a lychee orchard, there is also a four-entry courtyard, just in Suizhou City, the money used is the interest of the lychee orchard in the past two years, counting five thousand taels of silver, although the place is not the top of the lively, but the house is good, Mrs. Ji smiled: "There is also an oyster shell house inside, I look good, and I have made the decision for you, otherwise this money is really worth this lot of money when you really come." ”

Ye Wenxin couldn't speak with this, and Mrs. Ji picked it up in the same way: "There are also some things in the cage, your aunt sent them together, there are many calligraphy and paintings in them, Lingnan this day, it will be moldy if it is put in vain, and you have to take it out from time to time, when do you take it." While saying that, I breathed a sigh of relief, and finally let go of a matter of concern.
