For Lian Shouxin and Zhang, the house in Fucheng Songshu Hutong is just a convenient courtyard for the family to live in Fucheng, and their roots, their home, are still the "old mansion" under the Yuci archway of Thirty Miles of Yingzi.

People in this era, not only those from Zhuang families, but also most of them are nostalgic for their homeland. The idiom of returning to the roots of leaves is a good interpretation of this characteristic of this nation. Several children understand this sentiment of their parents. For them, the old mansion also has an incomparable significance. That was the beginning of a truly independent and happy life for the family.

Moreover, even if you don't take into account the factor of nostalgia for your homeland, the importance of the old house is incomparable. That was the beginning of the family's development, and the imperial archway gave the family supreme glory. This glory will continue forever, and it will not be dim unless there is a change of dynasty.

Therefore, not only for Lian Shouxin and Zhang, but also for Lian Man'er, Wulang and Xiaoqi, the old mansion is also a home and a root. It was the ancestral home of their family, the roots of their family.

Now that Gorou, the eldest son, has married his daughter-in-law, it is reasonable for the family to go home for the New Year.

arranged all the things in the house, and resigned to the Shen family, the Qin family, and other relatives and friends. On the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, the family left Fucheng and went to Jinyang County for thirty miles.

For Lian Man'er, this journey has long been familiar. For Qin Ruojuan, this is the first time. Zhang specially instructed Wulang not to ride a horse, but to sit in the same car with Qin Ruojuan.

“…… On the way, you two just happened to talk, your daughter-in-law has never been to our hometown before, you can talk to her well...... "Zhang's instructed Wulang."

Lian Man'er was sitting next to her, pursing her lips and smiling. Before Qin Ruojuan entered the door, Zhang told Mrs. Qin. I want to treat Qin Ruojuan as a daughter. Zhang is not a person who can tell lies, she really thinks so, so she will say that. And after Qin Ruojuan entered the door, Zhang did the same, always reminding and urging Wulang, asking him to accompany Qin Ruojuan more, and let Qin Ruojuan in case of trouble.

In this way, Wulang and Qin Ruojuan took a car, Lian Shouxin took Xiaoqi in a car, and Lian Man'er and Zhang's took a car.

As cold today. Outside, it's covered in silver and frozen for thousands of miles. The windows were sealed, and the thick curtains were also tightly covered, and even Man'er sat in the car. Only chatted with the two of Zhang's idle.

"Mother, my sister-in-law married into our family, and if she doesn't say anything else, let's just say that when she meets a mother-in-law like you, she will be blessed." Lian Man'er smiled and said to Zhang.

This is not Lian Man'er boasting. Looking at the official eunuchs in the entire Fucheng, the mother-in-law who does not give her daughter-in-law a horse and sets rules for her daughter-in-law is only one of the Zhang family. Of course, Qin Ruojuan did not become lazy or arrogant because of this. This is also the benefit of Qin Ruojuan.

"What's the blessing or not, the pampered daughter of the family marries into our family. It's not for us to grind. …… When the old lady used to torture me, I thought, in the future, I have a daughter-in-law, I must not do that, I have to treat others well. I'm not like that. "Zhang's said." Besides, now the big guys have seen it. The old lady is domineering. Cure us all. But what is the result? ”

"People's hearts are all flesh and blood, and the family has hatred in their hearts, what is the meaning of those days!"

"Mother, you're right." Lian Man'er nodded.

Zhou and Zhang are two people with completely different personalities, and the two of them are mothers-in-law, which are also two completely opposite practices. The Zhou family is a high-pressure jurisdiction, while the Zhang family is a group of harmony and treats each other with sincerity.

Speaking of which, in this era, the male protagonist and the female protagonist are paid attention to, and the female dependents of large families often do not go out of the door and do not step out of the second door. In the backyard of a large family, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law spend the longest time together and have the most contact. How they get along directly affects whether the family is harmonious.

Even Man'er hopes that Zhang and Qin Ruojuan can get along well and have feelings. In this way, the family can be united and harmonious, and the Zhang family can live a smooth life.

In the eyes of the world, it is actually not easy for the Zhang family to treat Qin Ruojuan like this.

When Zhang's daughter-in-law was a daughter-in-law, she suffered a lot from Zhou's anger, and if she changed to someone else, she was afraid that she would accumulate this anger in her heart, and then apply it to her daughter-in-law in a similar way. Zhang's has never had such a plan, I have to say that she is broad-minded and open-minded.

A charitable and generous mother-in-law, a knowledgeable and capable daughter-in-law, Lian Man'er thought about it and smiled. This is a sign of prosperity.

There was nothing to do all the way, and when it came to the next day, I entered the territory of Jinyang County. Lian Man'er sat in the car and felt that the speed of the car had slowed down. She was about to ask what was going on, when someone had already come to report it.

“…… The magistrate of Jinyang County led the officials of Hexian County...... Greeting the county lord...... After listening to the county lord's instructions......"

Lian Man'er couldn't help blinking, talking to Zhang's all the way, she almost forgot about this stubble. This is the first time she has returned to Jinyang County after she won the title of county lord. The magistrate of Jinyang County brought people to greet him, which was not unexpected.

In fact, Lian Man'er doesn't like publicity. When she came out this time, she didn't have her set of deacons. Lianjia's team of sedan chairs still only hung the logo of Lian Shouxin's cong from the seventh grade, and even the deacon from the seventh grade was not fully displayed.

Slightly different is the carriage in which Lian Man'er sits, which is the regulation of the county lord, but the appearance is also quite simple.

When they came back this time, the family had already thought that there would be such a thing when they passed through the counties, so they had already sent someone to inform them first. Fuyuan County and other counties are okay, but this Jinyang County is Lian Man'er's hometown, and the magistrate insists on bringing everyone to greet him, and this time he received it to the county border.

After all, it is the county, and it is also the practice of officialdom for the county to do this.

The carriage continued to move forward and stopped in front of the magistrate and the others. Lian Man'er only separated the curtain, let the magistrate and the others be flat, and said two words of exhortation. The convoy continued to move forward, and the magistrate and others were either riding horses or riding cars, with those in front of them, and the rest followed behind.

Entered Jinyang County. Lian Man'er's family still got off at the house in Liushujing Hutong. Lian Man'er went to the inner room first, washed and changed his clothes, and then came out again, sat in the main hall, and was bowed down by the magistrate and other officials and eunuchs.

"I understand everyone's kindness, but I must not be like this in the future...... Mobilize the people. ”

The magistrate hurriedly bowed down and agreed, and then talked about building temples and ancestral halls.

"I already know about this, and it's not feasible." Lian Man'er is on the right track. In the past few days, Lian Man'er has discussed this matter with Lian Shouxin, Wulang, Xiaoqi, and Zhang. Not only could she not agree to let the magistrate use the county government's money to build a temple and ancestral hall for her, but she also planned to come up with the money herself. Do something for Jinyang County.

That is to build schools and roads.

Lian Man'er told the magistrate what she meant.

“…… My family has already set up an enlightened school, but the emphasis is on enlightenment, and I plan to build another school in the county. All the expenses are paid by me, and I don't need to spend a penny from the county and the people, according to the example of the Enlightened School......"

The school that Lian Man'er plans to open in Jinyang County adopts the system of the enlightened school, but the students are no longer the unenlightened mengtong of the enlightened school. It is a student who has undergone enlightenment and has a certain foundation.

There is no threshold for the enrollment of the Enlightened Academy, and the scope of enrollment in this new Academy is for children who have passed the children's examination. If there are no children, they will have to pass the school examination, and only those who pass the examination can be enrolled.

To put it simply, if the Enlightened School is a primary school, then the school that Lian Man'er plans to build is a middle school. This middle school. It will also be divided into two parts, equivalent to the middle school and the high school.

The junior high school accepts new students, and the graduation examination of this part of the students is academician. If you have obtained the talent qualification, you can enter the high school and continue your studies. The graduation examination of the high school is naturally the township examination, and the qualification to raise people is obtained.

As for these students, it is not possible for everyone to be admitted to Xiucai, and those who can be admitted to the Juren will be better. Even Man'er has thought about it. As long as you are admitted to Xiucai, you can apply for a gentleman in the school. At the same time, it does not affect further study. Of course, if they wish, they can also enter the Lien family's estate, where they are also welcome.

For those few who can be admitted to the examination, and hope to participate in the examination and embark on a career in the future, the school will naturally be generously funded.

Lian Man'er has enough confidence in proposing this plan, she has enough funds in her hands, she also has enough contacts, coupled with the successful experience of the Enlightened School, she believes that this new school will definitely be able to run well.

When the magistrate and others heard Lian Man'er's plan, they all applauded and praised it.

“…… The matter of the new school, the money is all on me, and other things, I'm afraid there is still a place for adults......" Lian Man'er listened to it with a smile for a while, and then said again.

The county is naturally full of promises.

At this time, Wulang had already sent someone to book a banquet in Lian's Restaurant, and Lian Man'er got up and went back to the inner room, and Lian Shouxin, Wulang, and Xiaoqi took people to entertain everyone to eat and drink.

There is also a kang table in the inner room, and only a few delicate and light dishes are selected, and Lian Man'er, Zhang's and Qin Ruojuan eat together here.

Lian Man'er and Zhang's sat on the kang, Qin Ruojuan stood on the ground, helping to set up the dishes and chopsticks, and took the waiting girls to the table to pass the dishes, and when the dishes were all served, she served Zhang's and Lian Man'er to eat, Zhang and Lian Man'er let her a few times, she still waited for Zhang and Lian Man'er to eat less than half a bowl of rice before she was willing to sit on the edge of the kang, and also took the dishes and chopsticks to accompany her to eat.

Although the Zhang family is generous, Qin Ruojuan has always adhered to the rules of being a daughter-in-law. This is the case in this era, when you are an aunt, you are very delicate, and being a daughter-in-law is another world.

Whenever she saw Qin Ruojuan like this, even Man'er would feel a little emotional, and ...... I cherish the present time.

It's a little late today, and there will be an update tomorrow.
