Chapter 173

In the spring of the sixth year of Jianxing, the girls' school founded by the lord of Huifu County officially recruited students, and there were few applicants at the beginning.

Because it is a start-up, Rong Yan is not discouraged. On the one hand, she mobilized all the connections to hire gentlemen from various departments in place, and on the other hand, she prepared for Chu Garden, and by mid-May, Chu Garden was officially opened.

Chu Garden, founded by the county lord of Huifu, spent a lot of money to buy a big mansion in the city with a back garden and rebuilt it, adjacent to the Salesian Bureau, she simply opened a side door in the backyard of Chu Garden, connected to the Salesian Bureau.

It was easy for the women of the Salesian Bureau to enter and exit from the side.

Chu Yuan is neither a restaurant nor a tea house, and its business projects include vocational training for women, formal marriage agencies, as well as employment agencies, and even business introductions, which are designed to connect powerful families with Beidi businessmen, and Chu Yuan takes a cut from it, and the last item is the big one.

The matchmakers sent out in Chu Yuan were all women with good eloquence from the Salesian Bureau, and they were only allowed to work after the training of the hired senior matchmakers. Moreover, she deeply hates the vices of some matchmakers, so if the matchmaker sent by Chu Yuan has a false deception of both men and women, Chu Yuan will intervene and picket the matter.

This is the conclusion she came to when she was living in the Lin family and after meeting Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Wei.

If the heart is not right, how can you be a good matchmaker?

In the following two years, Chu Yuan joined forces with the Salesian Bureau, on the one hand, to shelter women who had nowhere to live in bad marriages, and on the other hand, to undergo vocational training and export labor.

In addition to providing embroidery pieces to Rong Yan's dowry shop every month, there are also custom embroideries in her shop, which are also sold out by these embroiderers, both of which make a profit.

There are also women who work in Beidi shops, some are cooks, cleaners, and serve with the families of Beidi merchants, and there are matchmakers and midwives, and even skillful women who specialize in piling flowers...... All kinds of occupations, but whatever women can do, the Salesian Bureau has won them all for them, so that they can stand on their own feet.

In the past two years, Xiao Ze carried out drastic reforms with the full support of a group of confidants and important ministers, and the whole society changed from the extravagance of the first emperor Xiao Shen to thrift and pragmatism, and the government affairs tended to be clear, and the people were rich and happy.

In the summer of the eighth year of Jianxing, the southeast Haikou invaded again, and I don't know which country from the neighboring sea gathered tens of thousands of people, and the southeast Chu army collided head-on, and the battle report came to the imperial court, when the old general of Chu was already at home, Chu Junyue asked for orders to go to the southeast Pingkou.

At that time, Rong Yan's women's school was thriving, and the number of women who came to school gradually increased, and there were more than 200 women, ranging from poor families to wealthy families.

The fees charged by girls' schools are not expensive, and if the family is poor and cannot afford to pay the tuition, the school also provides work-study opportunities to deduct the tuition fee.

Most of the children of officials of the fourth rank or above of the Liang Dynasty are studying in Donglin Academy, and there is no age limit. But ordinary juku only accepts young girls, and girls from the age of ten can only be taught by their elders in the boudoir. It's conventional. Now that Rong Yan has founded a girls' school, a wealthy family has sent her daughter over. These people still have another kind of thought, and they can climb to the county lord of Huifu, which can't be said to pave the way for the future.

When Chu Junyue left, Rong Yan personally sent it to the Ten Mile Long Pavilion, before leaving, he was a soldier, and his duty was to protect his family and defend the country, she couldn't cry, she could only hold his hand, and her eyes could drip water gently: "San Lang, I wish you a successful start here, and put down the thieves as soon as possible, and when you come back, I have something to tell you!" ”

The wife, who has always been like a woman, showed such a gentle gaze, Chu Saburo covered up his reluctance and hugged her tightly in his arms...... After a long time, he let go, turned over and rode away.

He was followed by twenty cavalry guards, including Eleven and Twelve, who were already married. The red tassel and the tassel are watching the children at home today, and Eleven Lang and Twelve Lang muttered quietly: Why doesn't the young lady have a single tear?

The mother-in-law in their family cried miserably!

Gentle Township has always been a hero's mound, and last night the red tassel and tassel cried for half the night, and the twelve and eleven langs who were crying couldn't wait to hide. When I got up today, my wife, who cried into rotten peaches in her eyes, was really in my heart.

When everyone rode away, a little white fat man with a round head came out of the waiting carriage and shouted to Rong Yan: "A-Niang, everyone is gone, let's go home?!" ”

Rong Yan arrived in front of the carriage and pointed at his forehead: "Since Ah Yu is here to see off your father, why don't you want to get off the carriage?" ”

Chu Xiaolang Mingyu, with a small face, seemed to have a little twist to look inside the carriage, there were only two rings inside, how could there be a scenery to see? He whispered, "Daddy...... Except for training me, he didn't even have a smile, so I didn't come to see him off. ”

Rong Yan was angry and funny: "Then what are you here for?" Coming all the way here? ”

It is said that the next generation, the old general Chu loves Chu Xiaolang like his life, originally Chu Junyue also wanted to be a good father, but under the blind doting of the old general Chu, if he indulges Chu Xiaolang again, I am afraid that this kid will be able to go to the house and expose the tiles. I can't say that he has to be a strict father.

Now that the elders in the family, he is only a little afraid of Chu Sanlang, and the rest of the old generals of Chu, Mrs. Chu, have asked for something, and they are not dissatisfied, but Rong Yan sometimes wants to be a strict mother.

Chu Yu turned a white fat bun face again, smiled at Rong Yan flatteringly, and said with a flattering meaning: "I'm here to see A-Niang, in case A-Niang faints sadly, don't I still have to support A-Niang?" ”

"Little pony!" Rong Yan flicked a finger on his head. Obviously, he spontaneously sat in the carriage to send Chu Junyue, but he wanted to say that he was going to see her. The awkward problems of the father and son are in the same vein. She gently stroked her lower abdomen, only hoping that after more than eight months, Chu Saburo would be able to come back in time.

After Chu Junyue left, Rong Yan became busier every day. A few days later, Mrs. Chu had breakfast with her, and found that she looked sad and had no appetite, so she asked with concern, "But where is it uncomfortable?" Let the doctor come and take a look? ”

Rong Yan shook her head, and Mama Zhou, who had been following her recently, smiled at Mrs. Chu, which made her stunned for a moment. Although the Chu family has been looking at the days as usual on the surface recently, in fact, everyone's strings are tight, and there are few smiles, only when Chu Xiaolang is there, can the atmosphere be cheerful.

Mrs. Chu suddenly had a flash of inspiration in her mind, and suddenly asked with surprise: "But...... But there's it? ”

Rong Yan lightly covered her lower abdomen and nodded.

Mrs. Chu got up suddenly, walked straight to her side, took her hand and wanted to send her back to the courtyard in person: "Since you have it, you will rest in the room, where is the need for you to come and eat with me?" How long has it been? Saburo knows ......" A series of questions were thrown out.

Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law for several years, Rong Yan and Mrs. Chu get along very well. Mrs. Chu has no daughter, she was not familiar with each other at first, and she was polite, but after getting acquainted, she was almost as close as a mother and daughter. She patted Mrs. Chu's hand to soothe her impatient mood, "A-Niang, don't worry, San Lang doesn't know." At parting, I told him that I would tell him something when he returned triumphantly. It's been almost three months. ”

Mrs. Chu spent almost half of her life waiting, and seeing that her daughter-in-law followed in her footsteps, she didn't know what words to use to comfort her except for holding her hand.

In the face of the unpredictable waiting, all language is pale.

She can only take care of Rong Yan with more snacks, and only hopes that she can get through this time strongly. At the same time, she discussed with Rong Yan and asked her to suspend outside affairs and raise the baby at home with peace of mind.

Rong Yan smiled reluctantly: "Auntie, I'm ...... If I'm idle at home, I'm afraid I'll just think cranky, or go outside to do things, and I'll feel better when I'm busy. The long wait during pregnancy is a torment, no matter how strong her nerves are, she can't help but empty all her time to miss Chu Sanlang, and she can only use busyness to dispel lovesickness.

After several years of marriage, the two have been grinding their ears and temples almost day and night, and suddenly they separated, which is much more difficult to endure than when they were unmarried and happy with each other. As far as the eye can see in the house, almost all of them are his shadow, and even his breath is on the pillow. Even sometimes Rong Yan can't sleep in the middle of the night, and will climb out of bed to find his clothes to hold in his arms before sleeping.

Acacia makes people grow old.

She felt that in just a month, she was going to have wrinkles.

Mrs. Chu could only let her go out, but she also sent two personal big girls around her to follow, plus Mama Zhou and Rong Yan's maid ring, it was the most pompous since she became the county lord.

That's it, Mrs. Chu was still not very relieved, and she personally accompanied her to Chu Yuan to deal with business two days later.

Now Chu Yuan is Rong Yan's office base, the powerful people who talk about business and the big businessmen with strong family resources are welcomed through the main entrance, the small merchants are welcomed through the side door, and the women of the Salesian Bureau enter directly through the side door that is connected to the backyard. Chu Garden is quite large, and each office is divided in detail, so it is absolutely impossible for midwives and matchmakers to collide with powerful businessmen who come to negotiate large business.

She also set up the Chu family trading house with her stomach up, directly selling the goods and commodities transported by the Rong family caravan from other countries.

Mrs. Chu took care of her daughter-in-law's pregnancy in fear, seeing that her busy feet did not touch the ground every day, and pulled out four female students with clear accounts from the girls' school she founded, and helped her calculate the accounts that were not very important, such as the Salesian Bureau and Rong Yuan, and even the expenses of the girls' school.

Some things, it's just a matter of time.

Rong Yan sowed a handful of seeds and tried her best to provide self-reliant positions for the little ladies and women who had abandoned their marriages, and she never worried about where it would go in the future.

Someday, the seeds will sprout and blossom.

In the three years since she became a parent, Shen Wan has already given birth to two children, and now her energy is limited. Even if you finish dealing with your own affairs every day and come to the Salesian Bureau, you have limited time. Even Lin Biyue took her three daughters to marry a military man who retired from the army a few years ago. That military man Lin Biyue is fifteen or sixteen years older, has no father and mother, is single, and after marrying a daughter-in-law, he also gave three daughters who are like flowers and jade, and he has a family and a mouth, I don't know how happy he is.

Lin Biyue found out that she was pregnant in May, and in order to prevent her from working hard, Rong Yan had to order her to go home to raise the baby, and some things in the Salesian Bureau were handed over to Sister Zhuang. She followed what Lin Biyue was used to, and she could still take on it, so Rong Yan simply handed over the general affairs of the Salesian Bureau to her. praised countless times in front of Lin Biyue: "Second sister, eldest sister is really much better than you." ”

The child was still making trouble to go to the girls' school to attend classes, and even took her two younger sisters to the girls' school to attend classes, so Rong Yan ordered the carriage to send Sister Zhuang to class during the day, and the Salesian Bureau was headed by Shen Wan, and when she came back from class in the afternoon, Shen Wan could retire and go home to see the child.

As for Zhuang Xiucai...... After bankrupting the family and sending the redemption silver, and making up enough for Lin Biyue's dowry, Rong Yan returned her concubine and concubine to the banker, and went through the reconciliation procedures with Lin Biyue.

Anyway, Lin Biyue had no intention of returning to the banker's house, she just wanted to dissolve the marriage, so Rong Yan made one last move, and finally dissolved the in-law relationship between the two families in Lin Zhuang.

Nowadays, the dealer is a family with four walls.

None of these have anything to do with the Lin family and Rong Yan.
