After Yang Lan returned to the Hou Mansion, she rested for a few days, and as soon as she came back, many people sent posts to visit, and there were also invitations to her to the banquet, and there were always many posts like this.
This time, Yang Lan did not refuse, and often went back and forth in the social circle, hoping to do the work of opening the women's college, which was indispensable for the support of the ladies in your circle.
At the same time, she also wrote a letter to her mother, hoping that her mother would also support her idea, and went back to her parents' house to discuss the feasibility of this matter with her sister-in-law.
The sister-in-law sat upright in her chair and pondered for a moment, "Do you want to set up a women's college and let women come to the college to study and make friends?" She looked at her sister Yang Lan with some doubts, feeling that his purpose could never be so simple.
Yang Lan smiled calmly, "I want to bring in more and better things, and introduce the advanced technology of Westerners, but I have always been a woman, and I can't go to the court and can't participate in court affairs, so I want to set up a women's college, through the indoctrination and learning of girls bit by bit, Westerners' gadgets and jewelry begin to attract, and then learn some other things, such as Westerners' ship cannons, we can all learn back, I believe that as long as we work hard, we can change people's minds, and we don't have to accept everyone. Just one is a great feat! ”
She is not so great, she wants to change the whole world, she just wants everyone to learn to accept foreign things, to learn other people's good things, even if it is to accept Westerners' music boxes and jewelry, etc., within the scope of social productivity, it is still possible to make a little change in thinking, she believes that there will never be a shortage of creative geniuses in this world. All she has to do is provide a suitable platform for them. Let them be exposed to the heavens that are beyond the sky. Broaden their horizons and knowledge, and let them know that this world is very big, not only yellow-skinned people like them, but also many different people and different worlds.
She wasn't sure where she could go, or if she would succeed, but it didn't matter, she had the highest expectations in her class. In setting a goal that can be achieved, neither too disappointed nor too overestimated yourself, life will always have a goal to be more exciting.
Now that her children are grown up, there is no need for her to follow behind and serve in every detail, and her mother-in-law and father-in-law have also traveled around the world, and they will not come back in a short time.
She's in her early thirties, though. But at the best age of her life, she was just a child at the age of sixteen. No one will trust her to have any energy, her glory comes from her mother and husband's family, these are not her own things.
At the age of twenty, she needs to raise her children and serve her husband, which is her life's responsibility and the road of life, and she must complete it seriously if she can't get around it.
Now she is thirty years old, her children have grown up, and years of business have given her her her own connections and prestige, and she has won the golden title of beating the king by her own efforts, which is a symbol of strength in itself.
Therefore, this age is the best time for her to show her ambitions, she has connections, prestige, cohesion, and years of good deeds are not done in vain, her reputation in Kyoto is very good, and many people praise the county lord of Jing'an as a philanthropic person.
She has an identity, status, connections, and strength, and she is really unwilling not to use such a great resource to do something practical!
Looking at her sister with burning eyes, Cui Rulan gradually smiled, this sister is really admirable, she will never be good at calculating and fighting, it seems very stupid, but her heart is very big, she can do good deeds for ten years, rain or shine, and do her best to make people admire, she is not like an ordinary little woman, it is enough to guard her husband and children, she seems to always do something different, she used to open a free school in office to invigorate the economy, and now it is even more powerful, to open a women's school, Even if you want to improve the status and vision of a woman, and have bigger dreams, you can't say that she is completely whimsical, every step she takes is well thought out, even if she can't achieve the highest goal, there is also a minimum goal, and she can have at least the effect, and take every step down-to-earth, maybe this is the reason why the emperor and the queen mother love her so much!
She is like a beautiful sunflower, always shining in the sun, no matter how many difficulties and hardships she has experienced, she will never let herself hide in the haze, and will always move forward bravely in the direction of the sun!
"Okay, this matter is very good, I did it, I will go to explain the reason to the family, do my best to persuade them to go out of the mountain, I will also help you ask on the Wang family's side, but you have to go in person, so that it seems to be sincere, as for the other families, I will help you ask, but not everyone is willing to come, you don't have too much hope." Cui Rulan felt that her vision should not be too small, she should learn from her sister, if she did it well, maybe her Cui family's reputation could rise to another level.
Yang Lan nodded happily, "Originally, I didn't have too high expectations, it would be good for me to invite the two of you to come, I will persuade the other clan nobles, the rest is to find a larger garden, I have to go to the Queen Mother to discuss, and give me a piece of land." Yang Lan pondered in her heart again, to see if she could pull a piece of land back from the Queen Mother's hand, it couldn't be too small, because she planned to let students stay in a unified management, just observe the students' behavior, etc., short-term accommodation is necessary.
"Cheng, let's split it up, and report back to the situation in the round." Since Cui Rulan has decided to take a kick, she will do it as if it were her own family matter, and her sister is not an outsider, and she has been getting along for many years to understand what kind of person each other is, so she is very relieved.
"I know, by the way, sister-in-law, even if this thing can be done, I'm afraid there will be no money in a few years, that is to say, it may lose money, I mainly value the reputation and network foundation of this matter, that ......." Yang Lan felt that the matter of silver money should be explained in advance, because this matter is really not a money-making industry, and it is very likely that it will be filled in for many years.
School or something, it's not a profiteering industry itself, she has a lot of ways to make money, it's definitely more than this.
Cui Rulan's smile became more and more gentle and bright, "I know, what you like is also what I value, am I so snobbish!" ”
Yang Lan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, "I'm not afraid that I will lose my sister-in-law's dowry, and my brother will trouble me!" Hey! She smiled mischievously.
"Ghost girl, go ahead, if you need money, just open your mouth to me, your sister-in-law and I will marry my daughter-in-law next year, the daughter of the Li family in Shandong, I can also put down the housekeeper's affairs in the future, there is a lot of time, and I don't want to nest in the inner house all day, bored." Cui Rulan is also a woman with great ideas and ambitions, and she doesn't want to live like this, seeing Yang Lan's shining eyes, she feels that she also has an impulse.
Such a good thing to accumulate contacts and prestige must be involved! This can bring children not financial benefits, but a good reputation that money can't get in exchange.
Yang Lan understood what her sister-in-law meant, and she said that it would definitely not be wrong to find a careful and thoughtful person like her sister-in-law to help her in this matter, her family knows her own family affairs, and she has a rough idea, but the specific details are not cautious and thoughtful enough, and it is necessary to find a thoughtful and proper person to help her check in this regard, so as to do her best.
"Okay, I'll go first, and I'll go to a few Uncle Wang's houses." Yang Lan patted her skirt and simply left.
After Yang Lan left her mother's house, seeing that the time was still early, she went to Prince Yu's Uncle Wang's house to visit Aunt Wang, and brought some fresh food in the Zhuangzi.
"Auntie, Lan'er has something to ask you to come." Yang Lan carried a little bit of heart made by herself, and when she saw Prince Yu, she smiled and said bluntly.
Prince Yu and Princess Yu had a very good impression of Yang Lan, and when she saw him coming, she smiled and beckoned, "Why did you think of looking for me today, I said that you are the one who has nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, so what did you come to me for, did you bring me something delicious?" The princess smiled kindly.
"Here you go, I made a small nest of soba noodles for you, you have thirst and can't eat too sweet, this doctor said that eating is good, I made you a few new flavors, can you taste it?" If you like me, let someone give you the recipe, and let the next person do it for you. Yang Lan asked people to take out the snacks.
"Well, it tastes good, it's lightly sweet and fragrant, it's delicious. You write a copy of the recipe to the next person and leave it for me, this taste is better than the last time, sweet but not greasy, I like it. "Princess Yu likes to eat sweets, and she has a bit of thirst.
"I put some lemon in it, and it smells good. You have to like it, I'll make it for you next time. Yang Lan smiled and nodded.
"That's a good feeling, what are you looking for me? I heard you've been busy lately, and you're going to start a school? Prince Yu also got some news and knew that Yang Lan had been shuttling in the social circle recently.
"Exactly, I've been in contact with this for a while, I want to set up a girls' school, so that girls can have a regular place to learn and make friends, what do you think?" Yang Lan asked her what she meant, and she also asked if she was willing to help?
Prince Yu thought for a while, "Yes, yes, but you must be strict, you must control all aspects, girls have more things, a little mistake may ruin their reputation, and then it will be a trouble that can't be shaken off." She reminded.
Yang Lan nodded and listened carefully to the teachings, this is because she values her to remind one or two, just say a few polite words to another person, how can you mention you like this.
"I think the same way, thinking about entering the door with various exams, short-term accommodation, class-based, and then inviting everyone from various industries to come over and teach, agree to comment, what do you think of my idea?" Yang Lan asked with interest. (To be continued......)
