Chapter 608: Helping my brother-in-law spend money

"Come on, go and call Xiao Tao!" Seeing Yang Kun away, Qi Mao returned to the living room and shouted loudly.

"Yes, sir!" The old servant departed, and soon a young woman of about thirty came in with a girl of twelve or thirteen years old.

"Husband!" The young woman bowed slightly.

"What's the matter with Daddy calling Peach?" The girl's eyebrows are clear, her eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar to the young woman's, and she looks very well-behaved in a light blue linen skirt.

"Madame is also just right, take Xiao Tao to change her clothes and dress up, and go out with me, by the way, Madame put on the set of clothes I bought for you last time and go with me!" Qi Mao commanded

"Husband, why is that? Do you want to give Peaches a blind date? And also...... That dress is too chic, how can it be swaggering? ”

"Madame, don't worry too much, go and put it on!" At Qi Mao's urging, the young woman had no choice but to lead the girl back to the bedroom, and almost a quarter of an hour later, they all dressed up.

Looking at the skirt on his wife's body, Qi Mao's eyes lit up, the pure white short skirt with calves, the well-tailored light blue mattress dress, the waist with a green skirt, a few red jade beads and rings hanging on it, the exquisite workmanship of the clothes made the slightly plump figure look concave and convex, full of a stunning visual impact.

"Husband!" The young woman's cheeks were slightly red, nervous and she didn't know where to put her hands, this dress was indeed beautiful, and she liked it too, but she felt inexplicably nervous and shy when she went out with her legs bared like this.

Qi Mao felt that his throat was slightly dry, although his wife slept with him in her arms every day, but at this time, she seemed to have added a little charm and temptation that she didn't usually have, and her heart was a little ready to move, but when she thought of Yang Kun's words, she quickly ordered the coachman to prepare the carriage to set off, and when she left, she took a piece of gold and put it on her body.

The entrance of the women's college is still full of all kinds of gossip idlers who come to visit, and of course, there are many Xianyang people who have heard the news and come to see the excitement.

By this time, there were more than fifty little ladies who had entered in the carriage.

And many of them are recognized by people who are good deeds, almost all of them are daughters of noble families.

So he began to gossip and speculated, and the idea that Qinghe Hou wanted to raise a room of little ladies to play was basically confirmed to be impossible at this time.

Even if Qinghe Marquis is a disciple of the Immortal Family, it is absolutely impossible for him to marry all of them as concubines with so many nobles.

"Look, there's still someone coming!" As a single-drawn civilian carriage rolled in, people began to stir up.

There was a man dressed in ordinary white clothes sitting in the car, and next to him sat a young woman in a beautiful skirt and a girl of twelve or thirteen years old, and there was not a single guard next to him, and at first glance it was not of the same breed as the one who entered in front.

"Stop!" The guards guarding the gate crossed over and stopped the carriage with a loud noise.

"Who are you?" The leader of the soldiers threw his sword to his waist and shouted.

The man in the carriage hurriedly came down and bowed: "A certain is the righteous businessman Qi Mao who was rewarded by His Majesty the Emperor's edict, I heard that the Marquis of Qinghe opened a women's college to recruit female students, and specially sent the little girl Xiaotao over to sign up for study, and I hope that Wu Chang will give it a look!" ”

"Later!" The leader nodded and ordered a soldier to go in and report, and after coming out quickly, after whispering a few words in the ear of the chief of the woods, the chief of the army waved his hand, "Let go!" ”

"Huh~" The two soldiers put Chang Ge away and retreated.

"Thank you, thank you!" Qi Mao breathed a sigh of relief and thanked him repeatedly, then climbed into the car and instructed the groom to drive into the women's college.

"Hey, the daughter of a merchant can also go in and study?"

Seeing Qi Mao being allowed into the academy, all the onlookers suddenly became noisy, and countless people couldn't help but shout.

And a few soldiers guarding the door still looked solemn and didn't pay any attention to it.

The opening of the women's college was just a flash of inspiration for Chen Xu at that time, and the purpose was just to let Xing'er and Yu Ji receive a little formal school education, so as not to make a fuss at home all day long like two little madmen.

More than 95 percent of the people in this era are illiterate, and women account for only one percent of the people who read and write, but as a person who has received nine-year compulsory education in later generations, how can a child not read or study, and others Chen Xu doesn't care, but his own family must not be illiterate, at least the basic compulsory education must be completed.

Of course, there is no formal systematic education in this era, and there are primary schools, all of which are similar to private schools, and some scribes who are keen on education open some schools to recruit children from wealthy families to learn literacy and writing, and also teach some simple poetry, mainly to earn some tuition fees and eat, and the princes and princesses and other qualified families generally ask their husbands to educate at home, so all the children who are literate and literate have good family conditions, and the poor do not have many opportunities.

Chen Xu arranged for the housekeeper to buy a house in the city, spending 200,000 yuan, which made the housekeeper feel very distressed, and when he learned that Chen Xu was just going to build a school to recruit some girls to accompany the two little ladies to study, he was even more cheeky for several days and couldn't stop.

After the house was bought, Chen Xu said about it at home, and then under the display of apricots, several princesses and Meng Wan who came to play knew about it, so they asked to go to the school together, after reading it, the five princesses immediately wanted to come to the school reluctantly, Chen Xu knew that she was unwilling to stay in the lonely and cold palace, so he asked the five princesses to be the girls recruited by the teaching professor to learn to read and write, but Meng Wan didn't do it anymore, and asked to come to the school to teach students to dance, and as a result, several little princesses also pestered their brother-in-law to ask to come to school to study, anyway, it's the best fun to follow your brother-in-law, eating, drinking and having fun is more than a hundred times better than the palace.

In order to solve the troubles of a group of princesses, but also to solve their own troubles.

Because this group of sisters-in-law are addicted to playing in their own Qinghe Villa, they come every day, come every day, eat, drink and take care of Lazar by themselves, and they just come to it, and they each bring a large group of palace maids and forbidden army guards, Chen Xu can't afford to eat and drink just to eat and drink, and he really spends money like running water every day.

And the sisters-in-law don't care, the brother-in-law is a disciple of the immortal family and is rich!

All Xianyang people know that their brother-in-law is rich!

Even the emperor sighed several times in the palace that the Marquis of Qinghe was the first in the world to make money.

So a group of sisters-in-law are happy to help their rich brother-in-law spend money, so all kinds of delicious and delicious foods are not the same every day, and ice powder popsicles are the most economical.

And a group of little princesses drive a large group of honor guards to and from the Xianyang Palace and the Qinghe Courtyard every day, what do the people of Xianyang think? What do the Manchu civil and military ministers think? What do the hundred disciples who love gossip think? What do you think of the chickens, ducks, pigs and dogs in the manor? What do panda monkeys think?

The two cute pandas now saw a group of little princesses hiding and climbing to the trees and screaming, and the hair on their bodies was bald.

And the monkey can't grab anything to eat now, and a pot of snails in the middle of the table can't squeeze in at all.

The main thing is...... What does the emperor think?

must be worried that Chen Xu, a young farmer, will cause disaster to a group of his daughters.

These daughters are ready to stay and have a good relationship with the minister.

After thinking about it for a long time, Chen Xu felt that he should make the scene bigger, so he opened a special women's college, in which there were only female students, so that a group of little princesses could be settled, and it was easier to speak when talking to the emperor, and in order to prevent the emperor from resisting and opposing, he also asked several princesses and Meng Wan to go to the princely and princely ministers' acquaintances to publicize this matter, so it quickly got a lot of responses, and this matter quickly spread in the circle of princes and princesses.

Sure enough, almost all of the Xianyang aristocratic class knew about this matter, and Chen Xu specially went to the court to make a formal request for this matter, although the emperor was a little hesitant, but there were still some ministers who stood up for Chen Xu, so the emperor also nodded and agreed.

After getting the emperor's approval, some princes and princes who were waiting and waiting and hesitating began to sign up.

Of course, there is money for signing up for study, 2,000 yuan for half a year and a semester.

However, to be able to let his daughter play with several princesses, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military ministers are very interested, and almost all of the daughters who have not been out of the cabinet in the minister's family have come, and these money are small money for these nobles, so after seven or eight days of preparation, after the preparation of blackboard tables and chairs, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, drawing board, cloth, scissors, needlework, etc., Xianyang Women's College was officially opened.

Today, the first day of school, is mainly to get to know each other and get familiar with the school environment.

In order to enrich the lives of students, in addition to reading and writing, singing and dancing, Chen Xu also opened some courses that girls should be good at and interested in, such as art, cutting design and embroidery.

The musical instrument teacher invited Shi Xuan, Shi Xuan's reputation in Daqin is very prominent, I learned that Shi Xuan is also in Xianyang, and has been hidden in the Qinghe Theater behind the scenes to direct the rehearsal of music, Qin Shi Huang also specially invited Shi Xuan to the palace to participate in the night banquet to play a few pieces, which was highly praised by the ministers and doctors who participated in the banquet.

The main reason is that the fame of the master is indeed too great, not only proficient in pan flute, but also proficient in piano and drum music, which is simply known as an encyclopedia in the field of musical instruments.

Singing Chen Xu invited Wanwan, Wanwan's voice is very good, the singing voice is clear and melodious, when he was a child, he also received formal training as a musician in the palace of King Qi, with rich music theory posture, and Shi Xuan's cooperation is also very good.

Tailoring Chen Xu invited a weaver girl who specializes in making clothes for Qinghe store, experienced and a group of people who have drawn some styles drawn by Chen Xu are very capable of learning from one another, and the clothes designed are very good, most of them are novel and chic, which has been greatly appreciated by Chen Xu.

The embroidery teacher is also easy to find, there are skilled embroiderers in the palace, specializing in making exquisite clothes for the emperor and concubines, and after Chen Xu slowly produces a variety of colorful silk velvet threads, embroidery will definitely show a more colorful type.

As for art, it is difficult to find talents at the moment, mainly in the era when there was no paper, and it was not easy to draw this kind of thing, generally painted on stones, wooden boards and cloth, so there were no very professional painters, but Chen Xu once told Shui Qingrou a lot of theories of ink painting and gongbi painting in later generations, and Shui Qingrou was also very interested in painting, and some illustrations were added to the Journey to the West that was being written, and some simple landscapes, flowers and birds were still presentable, and there were some traces of later game illustrations and cartoons. The local performance of the characters is very exaggerated, especially the chest, thighs and buttocks, mainly because Chen Xu is too deep into the game and animation, so he teaches it very seriously, and the two of them draw and go to bed at night.

A group of little girls, learning to draw is just to prepare for embroidery and clothing design in the future, so you can temporarily let Shui Qingrou be a painting teacher, and when you learn well, you can set up a studio to produce a comic book magazine, and you can also publish a fashion impurities, which will inevitably be popular with women......

Anyway, after more than ten days of preparation, the first formal women's college in Daqin was opened.
