349 find fault
"But you still have to work hard to get the big girl's affairs up, and I'm afraid that the third child will be left alone." Rong Yi patted her hand.
Yang Lan smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, I know, He He Meimei sent her to marry, I understand this." ”
Although Yang Lan has not been at home for many years, she is a first-class wife of the Hou Mansion, this is an indisputable fact, she will change her taste if she doesn't come forward, and it will inevitably make people talk, so she really has to get the eldest girl's marriage.
Rong Yi smiled and nodded, with a warm appreciation in his eyes, "Let my younger siblings help you." ”
"Well, that's definitely going to happen, the former Wang family handed over a message, let the school get it and leave a seat for her, her family has talents in making incense and female celebrities, and my sister-in-law also sent a letter, saying that she found someone in the history books and poems and someone is willing to come." Yang Lan talked about miscellaneous matters.
"Well, these two families are willing to help you, and you can save half of your worries. I've made a sketch, and you'll see what needs to be changed. Rong Yi took a sketch of the school renovation and showed it to her.
Yang Lan looked at it for a while, pointed to the east and asked: "I don't think I need to fill it in here, it's good to build an attic, try not to destroy the scenery of this garden, I still hope that the children can have a place to relax and be happy here." ”
"Well, I see." Rong Yi nodded and agreed, thinking that he would have to change the sketch if he went down.
"Look, this is embroidered for me by the girl of the Wang family, isn't it beautiful?" Yang Lan took a pair of satin-covered new shoes for Rong Yi to see.
Rong Yi glanced at it and nodded slightly, the color was indigo, which cleverly avoided the taboo of filial piety. The stitches are also fine. Not bad.
"Have you discussed it with Madame Wang? When spring begins, Brother Yu's marriage will be held. Rong Yi asked.
Yang Lan looked at things. Nodding happily, "Well, I will do it at the beginning of spring, and I can do it after Brother Yu finishes the exam." Three years of filial piety is good, and it just so happens that the girl of the Wang family is also older, otherwise the age is too young, and I really don't feel at ease. ”
The girl is too young and her body bones are not open, and she will have the pressure of having children when she gets married. Now that's just right, don't worry too much. After all, the eldest daughter-in-law is very important, and it is not easy to get a good daughter-in-law who is capable, sensible and generous, and the health of the body and bones is very important.
"Well, you're right, don't rush them after they get married, just let it be." Rong Yi found the book and flipped it up.
"I won't rush them, I'm not a bad mother-in-law, as long as they are good, I'll be at ease. In a blink of an eye, his son is about to get married, and this day goes by so fast. Yang Lan sighed. But most of the time she is happy, someone will help her take care of the chores of the Hou Mansion in the future, and her son will also be taken care of and considerate, so she still has a sense of accomplishment, and that little sourness is nothing.
Rong Yi glanced at her and saw that she was not unhappy, so she put her mind at ease, her daughter-in-law was open-minded, different from the general willful mother-in-law, I believe they should be able to get along well.
Yang Lan sat alone at the head of the bed, holding the letter written by Brother An and Xiao Wu and looking at it over and over again, obviously she had read it several times, and the paper was about to wear out, but she still read it with relish, with a smile on her face.
This winter, Yang Lan is a little busier than before, because she has to prepare for the women's college, she has to attend more banquets, and now this matter has spread in the imperial capital, and everyone is talking about it, wanting to see what Yang Lan is going to do.
Although she can't build a house in winter, she can contact people and other miscellaneous things, many of which are helped by her sister-in-law, and what she has to do is gather contacts and publicize what is going on with the women's college and what her plans are.
If you don't make it clear, others don't worry about sending their daughters in, a daughter has a stain on her reputation, and the girls of a family will be dragged down, and you can't find a good family, on the contrary, if the women's college teaches well, everyone will also say that the girls in this family are very good.
Things about girls are always troublesome and cautious, but fortunately, Yang Lan herself came over like this back then, and took the trouble to explain them one by one, making them clear, so that everyone could understand their goals and thoughts.
When I really got to it, I found out that this women's college is not so simple, all kinds of problems are always emerging, and I can't even hear a sound when the silver is scattered, and there are many small problems waiting to be dealt with.
Yang Lan is busy with the group, because the eldest girl is coming back, and she will marry Fujian in the spring of next year, mainly because she has been filial piety for three years, and her age is about the same, and the man is also in a hurry to get married, and the days are in a hurry.
As the hostess of the Hou Mansion, she must have a purpose for such a big event, and she can't let people say that they can't tolerate a girl, and they don't do all the big things in life.
She and the third family were busy together, and they had to prepare the things to be prepared for Brother Yu's marriage next year, and for a while, the Hou Mansion was busy to death.
Because she was angry with the emperor's idea of beating her daughter, Yang Lan rushed to the palace during the Chinese New Year, dug up some gold and silver from the emperor's hand, and came back to fill in the holes.
The matter of the women's college has officially been rolled out, and many people are quietly asking how to enter, whether there are any rules and sayings, but there are many women who are willing to hand over their children to Yang Lan for training.
Of course, there may not be no meaning in this, but it is more of a recognition, recognizing Yang Lan's status and fame, I believe that even if she doesn't get it right, it won't be very bad, and it's still good for children to learn something.
No matter what the reason is, Yang Lan doesn't care, on the contrary, the more she works, the more energetic she becomes, and she feels that her days are full again, as if she has renewed her vitality, and her body has no other problems except for being tired, and it seems that she is idle.
Looking at Yang Lan's happy appearance every day, Brother Yu seemed to understand a little, but he was a little confused, there were still many things he didn't understand at his age, but fortunately, he was a child who could listen to persuasion.
During the Chinese New Year, Yang Lan wanted to put on a lot of makeup to enter the palace, but this time her mother-in-law didn't follow, she couldn't come early because she was sick, in fact, she also wanted to be lazy, and she didn't return to the imperial capital at all, but the emperor didn't care about this, and approved it casually.
It's these dishes every year, and there's really nothing delicious about the cold pot and cold stove, so it's not as good as hot soup.
Yang Lan poked at the already cold dish in front of her with the chopsticks that were bored, and yawned, hoping that time would pass quickly, so that she could go home again.
At this time, a woman next to her asked: "Lord Jing'an, you have a good New Year, I am from the Li family on West Street, I heard that you are running a girls' school, right?" Is there anything I can do that I can ask my girl to go to school? She asked bluntly.
During these days, Yang Lan has been pulling people around to find talents, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, female red incense, etc., looking for the best and top people to come and teach, and the rumors have long been spread, and many of these people who are invited are also willing to let the children come to learn.
"Yes, but after the academy is built, the children will have to be given exams before they can enter, and after the exam, they will be divided into classes according to their grades, and those who excel in learning can also be promoted to the advanced class." Yang Lan explained in a low voice with a smile.
The woman surnamed Li lowered her head and pondered for a while, "How was the bundle fee calculated that year?" There was some firmness in his eyes, and he was obviously unwilling to let go of such a good opportunity.
"It depends on the grades, if the grades are good, the academy will give various rewards, and the pricing of merchants and magnates is not the same, I have to discuss this with the Queen Mother, but it will not be too low, after all, the garden will depend on the income of the academy in the future, and the price code is too low." Yang Lan has already thought about it, taking the high-end boutique route, and the price is naturally not low, otherwise you can't afford to pay for a year's pruning of the garden.
"Can you give me a seat? My daughter admires Master Murong the most, she must learn her Hexiang skills, and please be sure to leave me a seat, we are willing to pay as much as possible. Mrs. Li smiled.
"Okay, the garden hasn't been built yet, and when it's done, I'll send a message out, and those who want to come can come in for the exam." I've had a lot of trouble finding these people. Yang Lan was very satisfied that someone took the initiative to inquire about this, and it was good to have a beginning.
"Your Majesty, what do you think the county lord of Jing'an is talking about there? How about asking her to put on a show for us? We're having fun too. Concubine De sat on the seat of the next concubine, and suddenly saw Yang Lan out of the corner of her eye, and she had some plans in her heart.
The queen sat upright and said, "If Concubine De is bored, you can ask the singers to sing another song for you, why embarrass others?" ”
Concubine De stood up and wanted to say something, but at this time, Yang Lan was shocked to hear that they were talking about herself, and stood up, a little dazed, "Your Majesty, are you talking about me?" I heard my name called. ”
The emperor's expression was calm, "Just now Concubine De said to let you perform a show and have fun, I don't know if my cousin is willing?" ”
Yang Lan glanced at Concubine De and thought for a while, "It's okay, let's relax for the New Year, but I want Concubine De to perform a show in person, I heard that Concubine De's dance is very good, I really want to see it, Your Majesty?" She looked at the Emperor with burning eyes.
If you want to see me make a fool of myself, I will also pull you off the horse, and see which of us suffers more.
Concubine De's face changed, and she opened her mouth to say something, but was stopped by the emperor with a raised hand, "Okay, I agreed." ”
Yang Lan showed a satisfied smile at this time, and rolled up her sleeves, "Go and get the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone to serve." ”
When the little eunuch heard this, he went down and moved a bookcase, as well as pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, all of which were good things, and the eunuch moved the things to the aisle in the middle of the banquet and quietly retreated.
Yang Lan stood straight in the middle, raised his head to face the civil and military officials, and said loudly: "Singing and dancing or something, I really can't do it, I don't know how to play music when I beat my boudoir, I'll write you a few words and let everyone comment on it." As he spoke, he took a step forward, spread his legs slightly, picked up the pen, took a deep breath and dipped some ink and slowly put down the pen. (To be continued......)
