The fourth daughter-in-law clapped her hands and said happily: "Yes, sister-in-law, you have to take me with you this time, I'm so jealous to see you do so well, I don't care if you have to take me, so that he won't say that I have long hair and short knowledge all day long, and I will also show him the long time." After speaking, he snorted at the fourth child very unconvinced.

Rong Yan shook his head with a smile, looking helpless, "Okay, sister-in-law, you take her and let her study with you, the province has nothing to do at home all day, and the children are older and don't need us to worry about it, and she is very bored when I am busy outside all day." ”

To be honest, he really admires his sister-in-law in his heart, she is a capable, thoughtful and generous woman, she will never stick to one house and one courtyard, let alone hold the housekeeper power in her hands, and she acts very heartily and comfortably.

This time, the school was made on the surface, but in fact, they all knew that it was the sister-in-law who did it herself, and many people gave Yang Lan a thumbs up, with ideas and kindness, and it was not easy to implement it thoroughly, the most important thing was that even the emperor admired her determination. When they went out, many people looked up at them, and they really had a lot of faces.

Yang Lan smiled and nodded, "Okay, as long as you dislike bitterness and tiredness, you may have to be angry." ”

The fourth daughter-in-law stared at her eyes in surprise, "Why are you angry?" "Anyway, we are also the wife of the official, the family of the second-grade master, who dares to be angry with me, I am already very charitable if I don't give others anger, okay.

Yang Lan understood what she was thinking, "What I do is not the same as before, do you think, how can it be so easy for you to make people take out the money willingly?" It is possible to use power to suppress people, but it defeats the purpose of what I did in the first place. It's not about making money. I want to solve the problem of teaching people to fish at the root. Give the poor people one more way to make a living, so many things have to be lower, and when you become famous, you will naturally be recognized by others. Besides, it's not good for people like us to do excessive things, so as not to be caught by others. ”

The fourth daughter-in-law sank to death for a long time after hearing this, but she still said firmly: "I still want to follow you, even if I want to learn, I don't want to stay at home all the time." It's boring. ”

"Okay, if you want, follow me and get it done. I also think that I have accumulated a lot of books and plan to donate them to the college, which can be regarded as a good start for us. Yang Lan smiled nonchalantly.

Life is almost forty years old, a lot of things have been seen very lightly, the last time Xiao Wu came she handed over the remaining shops to him, of which Guangdong and Fujian business is the majority, mainly considering that Xiao Wu is currently not much time to return to the capital in the short term, most of the time is running around in Guangdong and Fujian, these shops are left to him to be more useful.

However, because these shops make slightly more money than in the capital. So there is no Zhuangzi anymore, and the forest and village fields are reserved for the use of the Hou Mansion. What is for all the children in the house is not for one person. Therefore, there are only a few shops for Xiao Wu, and the current annual income of the three brothers is about the same.

As for whether they will do a good job in the future and whether they can make money is their own business, Yang Lan made it very clear to them, that's all for their dowry shop, what can they do, making more and less is their personal ability, don't cry in front of my grave in the future, saying that the old lady will give you less and give him more, I don't admit it.

The money of Shangdao is given to the Hou Mansion every year, and then several families share the dividends together, which is written very clearly in black and white, and there is no dispute.

Before coming to Jiangnan, she divided all her dowry, and she was completely clear, leaving herself a small farm in Jiangnan, about 500 acres of good land, eating and drinking without worry, and the children did not need to worry about supporting the elderly.

The daughter's dowry was also given to her, and the specific shop and Zhuangtian were also handed over to her to take care of, so that she could familiarize herself with it in advance, so that she would not be flustered in the future. She now has nothing left except Rong Yi and the books, calligraphy and paintings that she has accumulated for half her life.

Before coming this time, Yang Lan had thought about donating these books, calligraphy and paintings to more students to see, so that they could all benefit.

Rong Yi was stunned for a moment when she heard her say this, "You have thought about it, those are half a lifetime's accumulation, and many of them are precious orphans." He also looked surprised.

Yang Lan smiled indifferently, her expression was calm and calm, with the ease and comfort after her enlightenment, "Keeping it in my hands is just for me to see, donating it can make more people benefit, and it can also build another way for the children and leave a good reputation, I can do a very limited thing as a woman, I can help the children, I can't embarrass the children." These things are not brought to life or death, they are all cleaned and neat, and my heart can be steady. ”

Rong Yi lowered his head for a long time and didn't say anything, and finally didn't say anything.

The fourth child didn't quite understand why Rong Yi was so reluctant, but looking at his brother like this, he could imagine that it might be a very precious book, and it didn't mean one or two.

The fourth daughter-in-law knows a little bit, she has seen a lot of good books in her study, and she is very envious, "Sister-in-law, you really donated all those good books?" I can't bear to change it. She frowned, a little tangled.

Yang Lan's donation of books is only good for the children and grandchildren of Rongfu, and the reputation has gone to a higher level, and no one can erase this credit, even her children are also surnamed Rong, and they can also get benefits, and they are accepted and recognized by Qingliu students, which is too important for children who have just started their careers.

But she also felt very embarrassed, since she entered the door, her sister-in-law has been taking care of him, supporting her inside and out, helping her never complain, let alone worrying about herself. Now that even the last bit of my sister-in-law has been sacrificed, it is not for herself, how can she feel heavy in her heart and have a sour nose.

Yang Lan's smile was light and indifferent, her eyebrows were gentle and peaceful, and her eyes were clear and translucent, "I decided after thinking clearly, those solitary books are really precious, and I like them very much, I have to take them out to dry every year for fear of letting insects eat them, I thought about it for a long time before coming to Jiangnan, who is appropriate?" Originally, I wanted to learn from the clan, but I didn't think it was appropriate, it was too narrow. After thinking about it, I still donate it to the college to serve more students, earn some fame for our family, and make these books a real suitable place for them. ”

"Now that you've figured it out, I'll go to the dean to handle this matter, and Brother Yan will help me write a post. I also have a lot of books here, so I'll donate them as well. Rong Yi pondered for a long time, and felt that he was not as open-minded as Yang Lan.

"Then I have some too, but it's not that valuable, can I donate it?" The fourth daughter-in-law is unwilling to be left behind, and she also plans to donate some, so she can give up her child's life, what are these books?

"Yes, any book can be used, there is no good or bad book." Yang Lan nodded happily.

The fourth daughter-in-law smiled and nodded heavily, "Sister-in-law, I am convinced, I am not as good as you." She was genuinely convinced.

"What's not just this one, I heard that my sister-in-law divided all her dowry, and even Ziqing's dowry list was handed over to her to take care of herself, and the rest was divided equally among several nephews, and the patriarch also had a base list to keep." Rong Yan shook his head, his face incredulous.

If he wants to divide the family property in advance, he is definitely unwilling, he always has a lot of thoughts, but his sister-in-law didn't want anything, he really divided it all, and only left himself a small village to eat and live, and there was nothing left, he couldn't do this, no, he didn't want to divide the family property so early until he died.

Yang Lan didn't care what others thought, "I just want to be quiet, anyway, it's just these things for a lifetime, I'm getting older, I really don't have so much effort to deal with it, isn't it just for a few children in my life, it's the same for early and late." ”

"Cheng, don't talk about that. I'll go tomorrow to see if there are any yards around, and buy a few more, I wonder if the yard is too small, and it's been too long, so that a few children can't make it look like they are studying there, and they need to be repaired. Rong Yan pondered how to do it this time, and he had to give his brother and sister-in-law a hard time.

"Then I'll give you the money, I still have some money in my hand." Yang Lan squeezed her eyes and smiled, I'm not so stupid, I don't keep a penny for myself.

"No, I have it here, don't rob it from me, it's up to me when I come here, don't be so careful, brother, you donate the books, isn't it our brother who benefits, don't fight with me for this little money." Rong Yan's face pulled down when he heard this.

The fourth daughter-in-law also hurriedly said: "Yes, sister-in-law, when you have a few days to rest, I will take you out to meet a few ladies, this is the right matter, let them do the rest, you don't care." ”

Yang Lan was no longer hypocritical, and clapped her hands generously, "Cheng, I'll eat my brother's." ”

Rong Yan smiled at this time, and discussed with Rong Yi that this book should be donated, but it must be done in a method, and it can't be forgotten after two days of heat, and it is best to let people remember this good thing and not forget it, it is best to give a plaque or build a book building or something, and let the academy manage these books on their behalf.

The reason why the academy is managed on its behalf is because the academy will have an appropriation from the imperial court every year, which cannot be shaken, and the academy that has been famous for a long time and has produced countless old prime ministers of the champion pavilion will have countless officials and wealthy businessmen donate silver every year, so they are not short of money.

And building a library is a waste of money, and it is by no means something that ordinary people can do alone, and it is very likely that they will lose all their money, and it is even possible to completely drag down a family, so ordinary people will not do this. (To be continued......)
