Chapter 168: A Fiancée Falls from the Sky

Jing Shan Tang and the Nursery School were soon built, in fact, this kind of charity for the elderly and orphans has been greatly supported by the imperial courts of all dynasties, after all, China is a humble country that has advocated filial piety from ancient times to the present. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoSince the Northern and Southern Dynasties, there have been places to adopt the poor and orphans, such as "Relief Workshop", "Relocation Workshop", "Sick Workshop", "Sorrowful Field", "Sick Workshop" and so on. The Song Dynasty also set aside 500 acres of official land and ordered Lin'an Mansion to create a Salesian Bureau, adopt newborn babies abandoned on the road, and still set up a pharmacy to treat the diseases of the poor.

It's a pity that the Yuan people are barbarians and don't pay attention to such humanistic education, and similar social security institutions are abandoned by them, and they gradually fall into decline and even be forgotten.

Ma Xiuying's suggestion is just to pick up people's teeth, so there is no resistance, under her call, the people of Chuzhou have responded, there is money to contribute, there is no money to contribute, less than two months, Jingshan Hall and the nursery workshop was completed.

On the day of completion, Zhu Yuanzhang also specially invited the local respected old people to participate in the celebration ceremony, and these people all burst into tears and felt that the fine Chinese tradition was finally continued in the hands of our generation.

Zhu Yuanzhang is just a benchmark erected in the hearts of the people, and Ma Xiuying has to worry about the specific management of Jingshan Hall and the Nursery Workshop. She knew very well the shady scenes of some orphanages and nursing homes in her previous life, so she ordered Yang Yunhua to set up a women's escort team, which not only played the role of taking care of the elderly and orphans, but also supervised and managed the staff, preventing them from embezzling funds and mistreating the old and the young.

At the same time, Ma Xiuying also set up a school in the nursery workshop. Grandpa Deng has long proposed that education should start from the baby, and Ma Xiuying agrees with this concept very much. In previous lives, many people paid attention to children's early education, but in this era, except for some wealthy families, children from poor families were basically free-range. Although ten years of cultivating trees and educating people for a hundred years, her ideas are not fully understood by the current people, but she insists on doing this, even if these children cannot become talents in the future, understanding more truths and being able to write will help them in their future lives.

In order to drive the enthusiasm of the people, Ma Xiuying ordered the school not to be restricted, and the salaries of the faculty and staff were paid by the secretary, which was simply a copy of compulsory teaching. She also ordered the children in the government to also go to the nursery to study, aiming to shorten the distance between the children and the common people, and prevent the children from developing a habit of being a child. Of course, there are still different measures for men and women.,The school is divided into two parts for men and women.,The masters invited are all very famous local gentlemen.,Sometimes she also goes to the women's department in person to give a few lessons to the girls.,Everything is involved in addition to the female red.。

A new type of public school was born in the eyes of the world's questioning, happy and expectant eyes. Some wealthy families send people to the school in order to let their children have more contact with the children of the Zhu family, while some poor people are dissatisfied when they hear that the school is in charge of the children's food, and their children have food and education, except that they cannot help the family with farm work. On the day of the start of the class, the number of people who came to watch was several times more than the students, and when they saw that the children really ate fragrant meat and white rice, some people couldn't help but send their children to the school.

Ma Xiuying said that she finally calmed the fear of Zhu Wenzhong and other children, and made them willing to go to the nursery to study. Novelty always attracts children's interest, and several children have experienced hard times, and they quickly integrate into their studies and mingle with their classmates.

Everything went on a normal track according to Ma Xiuying's assumption, she didn't dare to relax, and specially asked Xunying to remind Yang Yunhua, don't really treat Jingshan Hall and Children's Hall as battlefields, these old people and children are not strong men, they can't stand the drill, and they can't use the method of training soldiers to these ordinary people. If something goes wrong with someone, Yang Yunhua will bear all the responsibility, and if the consequences are serious, they will be dealt with according to military law.

Compared with Ma Xiuying's relaxation, the actual executor Yang Yunhua was very busy, and all her energy was spent on Jingshan Hall and the Nursery Workshop, which also gave her no time to think about it, only when the sound of reading aloud came from the school, she would miss her brother's reading, but this melancholy was interrupted by Xunying before it could spread.

Xun Ying first secretly observed the learning situation of Zhu Wenzheng and others under the leadership of Yang Yunhua, and then said with a smile: "I see that my sister has become more and more energetic recently. ”

"Oh, you don't know, I'm going to be tired to death! The old people are okay to say, as long as they are given food, they are willing to be obedient. These children are so naughty that they almost make me mad one by one! Not only do they fight, but they also skip class......" Yang Yunhua immediately pulled Xun Ying and spat on it, and she almost burst into tears, her appearance of close to collapse made Xun Ying a little afraid to convey Ma Xiuying's words.

It was enough to be a trash can with a stick of incense, Xun Ying was also tortured by Yang Yunhua and languished, looking at her opportunity to drink water, she quickly explained the matter, and turned around and left under the pretext that she had to go next door to learn about the situation of Jingshantang.

Yang Yunhua shouted from behind: "I'm also going to Jingshan Hall, you wait for me." ”

Xun Ying pulled his legs and fled, until he hid in the courtyard of Jingzentang and was still panting. She pounded her head hard, wishing she could dispel all the brain-filling magic sounds just now.

The steward of Jingshan Hall recognized Xun Ying, and when he saw this, he asked very worriedly, "What is wrong with the shadow girl?"

"It's okay, it's okay. Xun Ying shook his head again and again, afraid that Yang Yunhua would really chase after him, and he didn't want to inspect Jingshan Hall, so he wanted to leave.

The steward sent Xun Ying out of the door, and an old man and a girl walked over. The girl was dressed in a white dress, and she couldn't see her face clearly with a veil. The old man was about fifty years old, dressed in a Confucian shirt, his hair was neatly tied, but his temples were a little gray, his eyes were burning, his spirit was very good, and his voice was very loud when he stopped Xun Ying to ask, "May I ask the girl, this is the Jingshan Hall set up by Zhu Zhenfu?"

Xun Ying wanted to roll his eyes, the three words "Jingshantang" on the lintel, couldn't this person see it?

The steward had a better temper, and said kindly: "Old man, this is Jingshan Hall, what is your business?"

The old man smiled: "Hehe, I want to find Zhu Zhenfu." ”

The steward was embarrassed: "Adults rarely come to Jingshan Hall, and if you ask to see an adult, you must go to the barracks or the adult's house." ”

"Where is Zhu Zhenfu's mansion?"

"This ......" The steward glanced at Xun Ying, not knowing whether to inform the old man Zhu Yuanzhang's mansion. In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang's residence is very easy to inquire, and the dignified Zhenfu Mansion is the symbol of Chuzhou people, and you can know it by asking a passer-by on the street.

As a member of the Zhu Mansion, Xun Ying had to speak up, "What do you have to do with the adults, the adults are busy with official business, and they usually don't see guests." ”

The old man stroked his beard proudly, "He can't stop seeing me, I'm his father-in-law." ”

"What? Who do you say you are?" Sunkage's eyes widened, almost jumping.

The girl in the white dress scolded: "Who are you who dare to be so rude to my father?"

"I'm a maid from the Zhu Mansion. "Xun Ying is angry. Strange things happen every year, and today is the most unusual, someone actually swaggers and deceives Zhu Yuanzhang's father-in-law, if she hadn't bumped into her, I don't know how many people would have been deceived. When she stepped forward, she was going to detain the old man and the girl and hand them over to the Yamen of the Criminal Division.

"Wait!" the old man pulled the girl back two steps, his momentum was like flowing water, and he couldn't tell that he was still a practitioner.

The girl in the white dress said sarcastically: "A maid dares to be so rude, is there no one to discipline you in the house?"

Xun Ying was so angry that she trembled, and was about to ask the steward to send someone to arrest the two, but she heard the old man say: "Didn't the girl treat us as liars? The contemptible surname is Guo, and my little daughter is Zhu Zhenfu's fiancée. ”

"It's nonsense, Lord Zhenfu has already married a wife, and the shadow girl is the maid next to Mrs. Ma. The steward couldn't stand it anymore and shouted.

Xun Ying was furious, "What nonsense to talk about with them, if you bring it to the Yamen, someone will naturally let them tell the truth." ”

The old man was not shocked or afraid, and still smiled: "My two sons, Guo Xing and Guo Ying, both serve in Zhu Zhenfu's army, if you want to arrest my father and daughter and go to the yamen, can you tell them?"

Xun Ying hesitated, Guo Xing and Guo Ying were generals who had followed Zhu Yuanzhang since Zhongli, if this old man was really Guo Xing Guo Ying's father, she wouldn't dare to arrest people to the yamen at will. She hesitated, thought for a moment, and said, "You stay in Jingshan Hall, you are not allowed to go anywhere, I will ask someone to verify your identity." ”

"Yes. The old man replied with a smile: "The girl went back to the house to greet your wife for me, and said that the mountain man Guo Shanfu would go to see his wife as soon as possible." ”

Xun Ying's footsteps staggered, this old man had no fear, could it really be as he said? She returned to the mansion with a heavy heart, and when she told Ma Xiuying, she looked strange, and her tongue swirled around her mouth several times but then retracted.

Ma Xiuying didn't think so, but when Xunying was angry with Yang Yunhua, she smiled and said: "What did that girl say that is unpleasant, so you don't dare to reply." ”

Xun Ying pursed her lips and slurred, "She didn't say anything unpleasant, she just complained with a dark face and asked the horse to run again, and she didn't give the horse fodder." But ......"

"But what is it that makes you unable to speak?" Ma Xiuying saw that Xun Ying's face was flushed, and she couldn't help but joke: "Could it be that someone has taken a fancy to my family shadow and is going to come to propose marriage in two days?"

"Master, what nonsense are you talking about!" Xun Ying was annoyed and ashamed, so angry that he couldn't choose to speak, and the things that he was still hesitating about also poured out, "The slave met a father and daughter in Jingshan Hall, and the old man asked around about the master's situation and mansion, so I walked over and asked the old man what was the matter with the master. Unexpectedly, the old man actually claimed to be surnamed Guo, saying that he was the master's father-in-law, and the girl was the master's fiancée, and the two of them had come to Chuzhou to defect to the master! Isn't this too much of a deception? Who doesn't know that our master has only married you, and the father-in-law is the famous Marshal Guo. These swindlers don't put their tricks on the spot, and when they see that our master has made a fortune, they dare to arrange a fiancée to pretend to be Marshal Guo to deceive, it's really hateful, and they all deceive our family......!

Ma Xiuying frowned, interrupted the angry and spitting Xunying, and asked, "Where are the father and daughter now?"
