No. 216 Jia Mingshi
Today, the main house near the west wing is still empty.
In order to play against Bianliang Primary School, Cai Dao came up with his killer trick - accepting female students, but in a hurry, he didn't care about hiring some female teachers.
In fact, to put it mildly, it is much easier for Cai's School to hire a female teacher in Bianliang City than to hire a male gentleman. Girls can't get fame, it's nothing more than teaching them to read and write, learn how to cook and be a good girl, the main textbooks are easier to find, and books such as female taming and martyrdom are available on the market.
Of course, those girls who are willing and able to quickly complete the education plan assigned by Cai Dao can also learn some new knowledge such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting according to their own preferences.
Originally, those outdated Oiran or top brands in the Qinlou Chu Pavilion are undoubtedly the most suitable candidates, they are no longer in their prime, but they are talented, not to mention that they are all full of economy, but they are also proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and they are a little useful to teach girls to recognize and read. It's a pity that Cai Dao can't do this, he himself is not afraid of anything, but he is afraid that once these women are recruited into the school as female gentlemen, the gossip outside will definitely greatly affect the reputation of all the children in Cai's school.
Therefore, in terms of female celebrities, Cai Dao went to Aunt Su in the former nursery school and asked her to recommend a few embroidery girls who had left the palace to live in old age. These old embroiderers, due to their long-term female red work, caused their eyes to deteriorate quickly. But after so many years, the basic experience is still there, and it is more than enough to teach these girls.
The teacher in terms of literacy is to find some well-known qin girls, some of this group do not sell their bodies, and they do not have a high level of education as Oiran, but they are basically literate, which is just suitable for Cai Dao's basic requirements.
The search for a female teacher went very well. As soon as Aunt Su heard Cai Dao's request, she couldn't go in person, but unfortunately she was now carrying the duties of the nursery school, and she still belonged to the people in the palace, so there was no way to get out. Therefore, she readily agreed, and with her own memory, she wrote down the addresses of several old embroidery girls she knew and handed them to Cai Dao. These old embroiderers are not too old, and their hometowns are in Gyeonggi Province.
Among the recommended people, the only one who is older is Aunt Su's teacher in the palace, who is about fifty or sixty years old, and I don't know if he is still alive or not. Aunt Su also recommended this teacher to Cai Dao because her female red skills are very superb.
According to the address given by Aunt Su, Cai Dao arranged for Hua Qianqi and his brothers to go separately to invite these old embroidery girls and those Qin girls with better reputations. And he himself went to Bianliang City to personally invite this master.
Aunt Su's master is not small, and she opened an embroidery workshop in a prosperous neighborhood in the inner city, so it is not difficult to find a place. It took less than an hour to arrive at this embroidery workshop in a carriage. Unlike those embroidery buildings in the Ming and Qing dynasties that sold dog meat with sheep's heads, they were really selling good embroidery.
can be a master in the palace, and his embroidery skills go without saying. Coupled with the name of the palace, when she came out alone to run an embroidery workshop, there must be many people who are willing to put their daughters and nieces here to learn art, even if the apprentices she teaches are stupid, there will always be a few more outstanding apprentices. Therefore, the business of this embroidery workshop is much better than that of other silk and satin houses.
Cai Dao jumped out of the carriage and observed at the door of the embroidery workshop for about a quarter of an hour, and then slowly walked into the embroidery workshop.
"This small road leader, it is inconvenient for the man in this embroidery workshop to enter." As soon as Cai Dao walked into the door of the embroidery workshop, he was stopped by an old man guarding the door.
Cai Dao glanced at the honest and smiling old man, and asked strangely, "Uncle, aren't you also a man?" Why can't the poor road enter here? ”
"Ugh!" The old man was dumbfounded by Cai Dao's words all of a sudden, maybe it was the first time that someone had actually talked to him like this, so he really didn't know how to answer this question for a while.
This is, Cai Dao knew that the old man in front of him was really honest, and, it seems, the honesty was a little too much.
At this moment, a little girl less than ten years old suddenly ran out from behind the curtain, with a double bun combed on her head, white skin, and a smiling face that looked like an old man. You stinky bull nose, don't go to my embroidery workshop if you have something,...... You're not welcome here! ”
This girl has a lot of words without beginning or end, but her last sentence made Cai Dao hear the meaning of all her words - she is not welcome here.
Suddenly, Cai Dao, who has always been able to speak well, was actually speechless by this little girl.
It's really strange, Cai Daoke remembers very clearly that it was definitely the first time he came to this embroidery workshop, and he didn't know this father and daughter at all, who are they? Since this old man is the shopkeeper, then this little girl is the little proprietor here. However, the old embroidery lady is already fifty or sixty years old, can she give birth to such a young daughter?
Is that the point?
The system that hasn't come out for a long time has come out to make trouble again.
However, Cai Dao has long been immune to such harassment.
Just when Cai Dao was complaining frantically in his heart, the little girl actually did it directly. I saw her come out of the counter, pushing Cai Dao's arm hard with both hands, as if she wanted to push him out.
"Xiu'er, don't be rude to guests." The girl's father hurriedly shouted.
The little girl must have been angry, and said loudly: "He is not a guest!" ”
At this moment, the old shopkeeper said no, nor did he pull, and he couldn't think of a way for a while, so he could only stand behind the counter alone and stomp his feet in a hurry.
However, she obviously still underestimated Cai Dao's ability.
Don't look at this girl's age than Cai Dao, and she is a head taller than him, but no matter how hard she tries, Cai Dao's feet seem to have roots, pushing left and right, and using her strength to eat, she still can't get out of this stinky Taoist. Really angry, this girl gritted her silver teeth and prepared to secretly kick this hateful fellow with her foot.
Although Cai Dao was holding his arms and teasing this little girl vigorously, he had been secretly observing the other party's every move, and when he saw this posture, he knew that this girl was ready to have black feet. He was about to make a move when he heard someone whispering something in the curtain behind the counter.
"Xiu'er, come back."
The voice was not loud, nor was it very majestic, but the little girl in front of him was frightened, hurriedly restrained her movements, turned around angrily and ran into the counter, and when she left, she didn't forget to make a grimace at Cai Dao 'fiercely'. After that, the girl hid in the curtain and did not appear again.
"Xiaodao Chief, I don't know what to do with the sudden visit?" It was the same voice that spoke, this time Cai Dao heard it clearly, it was definitely a woman who spoke, and she was not young, but when she spoke, she seemed unusually calm.
When Cai Dao heard this, he first straightened up the clothes that were messed up by the little girl, and then sang a fat promise behind the curtain, and then said his intention: "Poor Dao, commonly known as Cai Dao, is indeed not a guest." This time, first, I was entrusted by Su Xiuniang in the palace to bring a good gift to Master Jia, and secondly, I wanted to invite Master Jia to Cai's school......"
"Oh! It's Su'er! You go back and bring her a message, and say that the old body is all right. As for inviting the old man to the school, is it to be the female red master of those female students? The person behind the curtain was really Master Jia, and she guessed Cai Dao's intention without waiting for Cai Dao to finish.
"Not bad! Master Jia, Poor Dao really wants to invite Master Jia out of the mountain to serve as the female red master of those female students. As long as you're willing to make a move, everything else is negotiable. ”
The man behind the curtain sighed and said, "Alas! Chief, if you come early, the old man can't really promise you. What a pity! Now, the old body can only make you more clever. ”
