Shi Gui sat outside the water pavilion, stretched out his hand to rub his calves when no one was around, he did walk a lot today, his back was sweaty, his face was flushed, and he fanned the wind with his sleeves.

The voice of the voice inside was not broken, and I vaguely heard the school, and then I heard Mrs. Ji buy a field for Ye Wenxin, she is the official wife, the order of the three products, and the only one who is higher than her status in Suizhou is the wife of the political envoy.

Mrs. Ji said that she wanted to buy the land, how could the people below not be careful, carefully picked it up and sent it up, half of it was bought and half of it was given away, so she didn't take advantage of it, and she didn't suffer a loss, saying that she bought it while the land price was cheap, and who dared to charge a high price, if she hadn't come forward, Ye Wenxin would buy property again at this time, and it would be three points more expensive.

Strange Dao Ye will entrust these silver to her, Shi Gui listened to two sentences, breathed a sigh of relief, the little girl next to her saw her brows relaxed, showed a smile on her face, and winked at her: "When the things are sent, our wife is worried, saying that Mrs. Song's things are all good things, and they have to be cleaned up carefully, otherwise they will be wasted." ”

Shi Gui couldn't help but be caught up in her thoughts, and she didn't show embarrassment, she smiled at her, and looked very happy for Ye Wenxin: "It's just a thing, I'm happy for our girl, she has always wanted to see everyone Yan, and she dreams of being a master, the girl next to her, which one can't read or write." ”

Zhu Xiang was stunned for a moment, and her eyes widened: "That sister also knows how to read?"

Shi Gui nodded: "No, I'm the girl's disciple, second in line." Saying that, after comparing the two words, Zhuxiang covered her mouth and laughed: "Several sisters around our wife are also literate, and any one of them can be a housekeeper if they take out the accounts and write." ”

Strange two temper throwers, Shi Gui really breathed a sigh of relief for Ye Wenxin, what she wanted to do, although her predecessors had opened a road, but this road was still rugged and difficult, with the support of Mrs. Ji, she could still walk easier.

The first few laughs in the water pavilion were Ye Wenxin who thanked Mrs. Ji, his face was slightly red, and he felt that he couldn't stand such love, it would be good if someone else was willing to collect the original number for her, and he also bothered to buy a house and land for her, just the income of these two years is enough to buy another house in Suizhou.

Thinking of the Ye family in my heart, this favor has nowhere to be repaid, both sad and grateful, I think in my heart, I must paint a picture of my aunt when I go back, and offer it to my mother together, and save money in the morning and dusk, if the money is not used properly, I am sorry for my aunt's kindness.

Ye Wenxin doesn't get along much with Ye's family, and talking to her is all about daily affairs, the two should be very close, but it seems to be separated by an ice wall, you can see it, but you can't touch it, and your aunt is not like what her mother said in the end.

But it is different from Mrs. Ji, different from the ladies she has seen, there are no clothes, jewelry, dim sum patterns when talking to her, and she can talk about the flower cards for a long time, Ye Wenxin was impatient to say these things at home earlier.

Mrs. Ji didn't say useless words when she opened her mouth, one by one, she explained the things of the school very clearly, Ye Wenxin originally thought that she was a nominal curator, because of her high status, so that the women's academy could borrow a light, and it was more convenient to do everything, listening to her at this time, I realized that she was really a steward.

Mrs. Ji saw Ye Wenxin with a puzzled smile on her face: "I have eight sisters in my family, and the second sister is famous in the boudoir, Xianyu Zhi is I watched her draw and embroider, every stroke is hard work, it turns out that in addition to moving her mouth, she is unable to support her, but later she can support it, in the end, she still feels that the money is too thin, and she can't compare to her ambition, so it's easy to get to the local area, and she can reach out to help her, so she naturally wants to help." ”

As he spoke, he picked up the things that happened to the Yan family when they were young and said two things, while talking and looking at Ye Wenxin, the second sister always said that she wanted to accept an apprentice, and she was full of momentum when she was young, but over the years, she knew that it was not easy, although Mrs. Wu funded the money, in the end, no one could take on the mantle, since Ye Wenxin had this ambition, she would take a look at it for her, if it was suitable, this stall would always last for a long time, and twenty years of hard work would not be in vain.

"I don't have much to do on weekdays, if you have to be free, come and move around more, set a date, let's go to the women's school. Mrs. Ji smiled: "It turned out that when my sister was there, the two of us said that we wanted to open a poetry club, you are afraid that you don't know when you first come, there are many poetry clubs in Suizhou City, March, May and July, every singular number will open a society to compose poems, and the state capital and county academies must submit poems and ask people to cover flower sticks. ”

Ye Wenxin listened quietly, such poems will have nothing to do with the women's academy, men watch women write books and essays, their eyes can't wait to be lifted to the sky, from ancient times to the present, words and women are not nothing, but for a hundred years, people have only been praised for a few years, and they are strong, but they are different when it comes to men's mouths.

"In recent years, the number of students in the women's school hall has been decreasing, if you talk about livelihood, that's a good thing, if you talk about inheritance, it's not a good thing. "Over the years, there have been ships going to the West, and many silk and embroidery workshops have been opened in the city, and there are fewer and fewer desperate women, but anyone who can endure it can live a life, which one still wants to study and be reasonable.

If you want to do this thing all the time, there will be no time for the fire to be cut off, and the parents of girls in rural areas would rather send them to the city to work as female workers than send them to a women's private school to learn calligraphy.

Mrs. Ji has been here for three years, seeing that Mrs. Ji has been here for three years, seeing that there are fewer and fewer students in the women's school, there are three who have dropped out of school this month, and were sent to the silk mill by their parents to work, it turned out that there was only one way to go, and now there are more roads, where is there still anyone willing to step on this narrow road, although it has not yet reached the situation where it cannot be done, but I also have to think about it, how to open up the source of students, and not let such a good thing be cut off like this.

Ye Wen didn't expect her to talk about this, Mrs. Ji laughed: "Everyone gathers firewood and the flame is high, in the end, there are more people and more ideas, I originally thought that the poor family would accept more students, and even asked the people's teeth, and would rather sell my daughter for a few taels of silver than receive a hundred dollars a month." ”

Ye Wenxin was also worried, and Mrs. Ji smiled: "There is an idea now, the poetry club is famous, but it is not easy to do this in the state capital, but those girls in the silk embroidery workshop, when they work and get off work, there are always people in the school, and if they are willing to come, we will open a small class, and we can teach a few." ”

Poetry will have a greater impact, but it is not achieved overnight, not to mention that the women's school hall is under the banner of the poor, the more you know poetry, the more self-conscious, if you want to hold a poetry meeting, you have to be Yan Mingpeng when she is there, under her banner, maybe there are still people who are willing to intersect with literature.

The first time we met, I said it deeply, but no one in the official wife was willing to take the lead, and it was okay to hold a Qixi Festival female worker, and the women's family poetry competition was those who read books and could write poems and essays, and they refused to show their faces.

I thought of a lot of ways, all of them were difficult, the two of them were talking, and before they knew it, the sky was darkened, and there were lattice screens around the water pavilion, and Mrs. Ji came back to her senses: "It's too late for you, hurry up and get out of the city, when will you come back when you're free, let's go through the matter carefully, and it can always be handed over to me, and there are fewer and fewer people." ”

Empty talk can't do practical things, and you have to start to do it to know, Ye Wen didn't know that he had said something to Mrs. Ji for so long, and quickly stood up and said goodbye, Mrs. Ji smiled: "If you are not afraid that the city gate will be closed, you will have to keep you for dinner." ”

Ye Wenxin pushed again and again, Mrs. Ji sent a small servant to follow her to give her a ride, Ye Wenxin was still thinking about Mrs. Ji's words, the more she thought about it, the more she felt reasonable, Shi Gui helped her to the sedan chair, she was still stunned, she didn't even take the box, or Mrs. Ji's aunt sent it out again.

At this time, the sun is in full bloom, the shops on the street are lit up early, the red, red, yellow and yellow are lit up, and there are fireworks everywhere on the food street, Shi Gui's legs are fast, I bought a few buns, I am afraid that Ye Wenxin will be hungry, and I will eat one at home, Ye Wenxin has a great appetite, the wontons are only six to eat, and the buns are two, Shi Gui is afraid that she will hold on, she didn't feel it, but sighed: "There are so many things to do, I can't wait for the sun to not set." ”

Shi Gui laughed: "Then you can't support yourself, and it won't be dark if you eat two more?" Mrs. Ji taught her sincerely, and the girl just learned by heart. ”

Several girls in the Yan family are the queen, one has run a women's school, and the one who is in charge of the shipyard silk mill with one hand, Mrs. Ji is the sixth, in the past, in Jinling City, except for the Ye family who befriended her, there was no name next to her, but now I heard it, but she is a very capable person.

Ye Wen thought all the way, Shi Gui carried a lot of things in his hands, small things such as head grease powder, Qiu Niang's green calyx refused to be used, she didn't use it herself, but bought a copy for them, and when she got home, Ah Zhen was guarding the door again, and when she saw them coming back, she turned around happily and ran back, with a loud voice, saying that the girl was back.

The meal has already been cooked, Qiu Niang refuses to rest, the fish here is extremely fat, the soup and vegetables are delicious, Qiu Niang made a sauerkraut fish, filled two large pots, Ah Zhen's family has not eaten, first I feel that the freshness of the fish is covered, how do I know that it is more and more fresh and sweet, I am afraid that I will wait for the fish to be old, and I will shout when I see them come back.

Xizi also guarded the door, although Qiu Niang loved him, he knew that the head of the family was his sister, and he was the master of three people, Shi Gui pulled him, he still refused to enter the door, and quietly discussed with her: "Ming'er, let's go find Lord Wu." When he found Lord Wu, he found Mingyue, Shi Gui bit his lip and pulled his hand: "Okay, let's go Ming'er." ”

Xizi smiled at this time, he was looking forward to it all the way, he came to Suizhou and didn't look for it immediately, Shi Gui relied on him, he took fish soup bibimbap, and ate two bowls of rice alone, Qiu Niang smiled from ear to ear, raised her eyes to look at her daughter, knew that this was a promise, and breathed a sigh of relief, calculate the age, Shi Gui will be sixteen this year.
