Chapter 247: Redemption

On this day, the weather was clear, the sky was very blue, and there was not even a trace of floating, like a fine pure brocade, filtered out of all variegated colors.

Yueyao and her entourage were ready to leave early, many people came to see them off, the neighbors of Xitang Street came, the patriarch and several clan elders also came, and a few official wives.

Shu Yao said to the patriarch: "Patriarch Grandpa, the eldest brother has repeatedly explained that the clan must be managed carefully, and if the Xia family wants to be strong, it is not enough to rely on one or two people." Now the fields used to support the clan are enough, and I hope that the patriarch and the grandfathers will control the use of these fields. The Yongping Marquis Mansion will also allocate a certain amount of money every year to help the children of the clan who are particularly good at learning and have difficulties at home. ”

The text also said: "There is also my sister-in-law donating silver to the clan to run a women's school, my eldest brother and sister-in-law have entrusted it to the ninth brother (the fifth grandfather's youngest son Jiulang) nine sisters-in-law, and I also ask your grandfathers to supervise and support." ”

The Xia family female school is divided into two parts, one part is a school for girls under the age of thirteen, and the other part is to teach simple literacy and numeracy, as well as embroidery female red, as long as you want to learn, you can learn at any age, mainly to help some women in need learn a basic life skills. Embroidery is the most common and most suitable way for women to earn money.

This model of women's learning was first run by the Nangong family, and it is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish.

The patriarch and the fifth grandfather hurriedly nodded: "Don't worry, rest assured, the clan will definitely attach great importance to these two schools." "It's about the revitalization of the family and future generations, and the Yongping Marquis Mansion has already taken the lead, where do they dare not pay attention to it?

These lords of the Yongping Marquis Mansion are not very old, but they are definitely not the masters who can fool them. If the clan dares to take it lightly. In the future, they will definitely "dare" to ignore the affairs of the clan. Also. No matter how much love and righteousness are valued, people are willing to contribute to the revitalization of the family, but it does not mean that people are willing to be wronged. For example, the fields that support the clan are audited by a special person every year.

Nangong Miao smiled while holding a pair of younger siblings' shoulders: "Then please ask the patriarch grandfather and a few grandfathers, if there is anything you can ask someone to send a letter to the capital, you can also hand it over to the shopkeeper of Ma Da (the shopkeeper of Qiaoweiju in Yulin County, the chief steward of the Yongping Marquis Mansion in Yulin), as long as it is beneficial to the clan, reasonable, and we can do it." The prince will definitely think about it. ”

The patriarch laughed and said, "It's good, it's good." "Nangong Miao is not only a rich lord, but even more rare is to be reasonable, advance and retreat with Shujie, this time he even took out his dowry silver to run a women's school for the Xia family. The Yongping Marquis Mansion has such a housewife, which is not only the blessing of Shujie, but also the blessing of their Xia family.

"Brother Jie's daughter-in-law," the patriarch hesitated a few times, and finally spoke, "Xiafu's eldest Lang Shuyi has been a gentleman in another private school for two or three years. The word of mouth is very good. He...... He heard that we still need to add an enlightenment gentleman to our ethnology, so he wanted to come over. First, because we are treated well. It's close to their house, and I want to do something for the clan. You guys...... See if you can accept him? "Most of the money for the construction of the clan study and the purchase of the clan study land comes from the Yongping Hou Mansion, and now the Yongping Hou Mansion is also the biggest reliance of the Xia family.

In fact, when the fifth grandfather came to the house two days ago, he had already said this, Shu Yao asked people to inquire, Shu Yi has been teaching in the private school of his wife Cheng's cousin in recent years, and he is responsible for enlightenment, and his reputation is really good. No matter how much the relationship is severed, it is always the same line, and in the days before Xia Linxuan closed his eyes, he also told the three brothers and sisters of Shu Yao about his grandfather's deliberate cultivation of him back then. And now Xia Shuyi just wants to rely on what he has learned and paid to get a job in the clan studies, Shuyao and they don't feel that there is any reason to object.

Nangong Miao replied: "Patriarch Grandpa, there are fixed procedures and requirements for Mr. in the clan study, as long as Xia Shuyi meets the requirements, there is nothing that cannot be done." Although our Yongping Marquis Mansion followed our father's will to cut off contact with the Xia Mansion, they are still members of the Xia family. Under the same conditions, Xia Shuyi can naturally give priority to getting errands in the family science than the outside gentlemen. ”

The patriarch hurriedly nodded: "Okay, okay, I understand." Brother Jie's daughter-in-law, you are all good children who understand the general situation and speak about righteousness, and your great-grandfather has a spirit in the sky, and he will be glad that there are still descendants of your lineage. This is also the blessing of our Xia family's entire family. ”

Nangong Miao Yingying gave half of the junior salute (she was destined to be here, the patriarch was just a showman, and she couldn't stand the full ceremony): "The patriarch's grandfather has a good reputation, and the greatest satisfaction of my father before his death is that he has lived up to his great-grandfather's love and cultivation for him." ”

Xia Shuyi didn't dare to come forward and hid far behind the crowd, but his wife Cheng Yunqiu heard the conversation between Nangong Miao and the patriarch clearly, and was so excited that she burst into tears, and quickly retreated to the back to tell Xia Shuyi.

Xia Shuyi sighed, grateful and ashamed: "The second uncle's team can have today's glory, in addition to their ability, there is also our incomparable character and bearing. ”

Cheng Yunqiu nodded secretly, glad that his father-in-law was clear-headed and had not been assimilated by his brain-dead parents. The old lady and father-in-law in the house were angry that she did not take out the dowry to supplement the public middle school, and the people outside the house also despised and alienated her, naturally because she was a person from the Xia Mansion, and the Xia Mansion had long been notorious.

This time, the couple is so looking forward to Shuyi getting the opportunity to be a gentleman in the clan school, in addition to the fact that the treatment of the clan is indeed much higher than her cousin's private school, they also want to be able to contribute to the clan through their own efforts and get closer to the clan.

Mrs. Xia and those people are elders, and they are stubborn, they can't be persuaded to do their own thing, and take care of their own room and their children. If she could, Cheng Yunqiu would very much like to split up, and would rather leave the house. Relying on Shuyi's bundle of cultivation and his own dowry that is not too much but not too meager (Cheng is smart and conceals half of the dowry), you don't have to be too rich, at least you can have no worries about food and clothing, and feel relaxed, right?

Where does Xia Shuyi not know what his wife thinks? However, he was the eldest son, and even if the family did break up, his grandmother and parents would have wanted him to live with him. If you want to separate it out, how is it possible? What's more, now his younger brother Xia Shuyao has not yet married.

Xia Shuyao failed again in the lifting test last fall, and he will be twenty-three this year. Now Xia Fu can't make ends meet. But he still didn't do anything. kept saying that he wanted to "continue to study hard", and swore that he would definitely be able to pass the exam in three years.

Thinking of that Xia Shuyao and the current situation of Xia Mansion, Xia Shuyi's good mood was suddenly replaced by trouble.

The people in the Xia Mansion who were waiting in the mansion saw the gloomy mist on the faces of the two, and naturally thought that the matter of entering the clan was yellow. Xia Linyu asked repeatedly, "What did the patriarch tell them?" They outright refused? ”

Zhou snorted: "Those little sluts wish we died, how could they give Shuyi such a good opportunity?" I said a long time ago, so that you will die that heart, but you will be embarrassed! Which of those dead old men in the clan doesn't revolve around them now? ”

Xia Shuyi frowned: "Mother." You can't speak...... That point? The Yongping Marquis Mansion is not so careful! If everyone else were like you, we would have been cornered. "With the status and ability of the Marquis of Yongping and Shujie today, as long as the three brothers and sisters of Shujie want to, without their appearance, they can make the Xia Mansion unable to stay in Yulin.

"......" Zhou's face was red from his son's choking, and he was still stiff, "How dare they?" ”

Yu sneered: "Why don't they dare? What did you get hold of? Or did you have the Yongping Marquis Mansion, or the Wenyuan Marquis Mansion, or the Nangong family? ”

Xia Linyu glared at Zhou impatiently, turned around and asked Shuyi and the others: "Say it quickly." What the hell is going on, did the patriarch ask? ”

Cheng Yunqiu recounted the conversation between the patriarch and Nangong Miao. "When we came back, we happened to meet Mr. Dai, who was in charge of clan studies, and asked Xiang Gong to go to clan studies to go through the formalities in a few days."

Xia Linyu breathed a sigh of relief, since Xia Ruoxue and left Yulin, they didn't have much hope for the matter of buying officials for Shuyi, and after Xia Linxuan on the White Monkey Mountain was furious and declared that he would break off with them, he was completely dead. Just imagine, there was no way out in the first place, and now it is infamous, who would risk offending Jin Xida and Xia Shujie to sell their officials to them?

The Xia family is well treated, the gentlemen are not only high, but also the food and lodging are also responsible for the clan, and the newly built small courtyards behind the clan are prepared for the gentlemen who come from other places with their families. As long as they teach in the clan school, the family can live in the courtyard, and after ten years of teaching, the courtyard will be completely theirs.

In addition, during the New Year's holidays, gentlemen can also receive gift boxes from Qiaoweiju and Mixue Tofu Fang, as well as the newly launched Xiajia dragon fruit, which makes them feel that they are deeply valued.

Of course, ethnology also has high requirements for the qualifications, character and morality, and teaching level of gentlemen, and the threshold for entering Xia family studies as a teacher is not low.

The three gentlemen who are teaching now are all well-known gentlemen in the Daimyo Mansion, two of them are Juren, and the Mr. Shan Changdai, who is in charge of the entire clan studies, was once a famous teacher for the rich and noble families in the Daimyo Mansion City, and was born as a Jinshi, because his personality is not suitable for officialdom, he resigned and returned to his hometown after suffering a heavy setback.

Mr. Dai and Jin Xida have had several encounters, and they have a good image of each other, and after the resumption of the Xia family school, Jin Xida and Shujie recommended Mr. Dai. Before Shujie returned to Beijing, he went to the Daimyo Mansion City with the patriarch in person and invited Mr. Dai back.

This time, it is because only one Mr. Qimeng who teaches the beginner class needs to be added, so Shuyi has the opportunity to apply. He himself knew that after entering the clan study, he had to work hard to seek advice from the other three gentlemen, which was also a rare opportunity for him to learn and improve.

Shuyi can enter the clan to teach, for today's Xia Mansion, there can be a certain salvation in terms of income and reputation, how can Xia Linyu not breathe a sigh of relief? (To be continued......)
