Chapter 100: Invited (Ask for publicity and recommend votes, thank you)
"Master Peng, I finally see you!" Jiaowa carried a few pieces of silk cloth and walked around the door of Peng Yue's shop for a long time, saw Peng Yue from a distance, and hurriedly "pounced" excitedly. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Jiaowa girl..."Peng Yue couldn't help but take two steps back vigilantly when he saw Jiaowa's "uncontrollable" appearance, "What's the matter with Jiaowa girl?" ”
"Oh... It's nothing..."Jiaowa saw that although Peng Yue was smiling, she still subconsciously took two steps back, and she couldn't help but feel embarrassed for her overly enthusiastic behavior just now.
"It's just... Well... The concubine saw that the adults hadn't come to Lishui Courtyard for a few days, so... Well... I didn't expect to meet an adult here, so I want to invite an adult to Lishui Courtyard to talk..."Jiaowa stroked the strand of hair hanging on her chest with one hand, looked at Peng Yue, and lowered her head embarrassedly, "I don't know if the adult is free?" ”
"Uh... I came here today to see the business, and I'll go to the school to have a look..."Peng Yue scratched his head a little embarrassed, "I understand the girl's intentions, but today... It's really inconvenient, I'll definitely visit another day, ah? ”
"Is that so?" Jiaowa frowned reluctantly, and suddenly moved her steps and crossed in front of Peng Yue, "My lord, in fact, I often hang around outside your store these days, just to see the adult, isn't the adult even willing to give this thin face to the concubine?" After saying this, Jiaowa sobbed twice, wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and performed her best charm.
Peng Yue is indeed defensive of Jiaowa, and the more she is like this, the more suspicious Peng Yue becomes, but with Peng Yue's temperament, it is difficult to say anything too radical and hurtful.
Seeing Peng Yue's hesitant appearance, Jiaowa couldn't help but sigh softly, raised her eyebrows, and looked at Peng Yue with a look, but quickly lowered her head and said softly, "Yes, in front of adults, what thin face can a concubine have?" It's ridiculous that Sister Xueqi and I have been looking forward to it for so many days in Yeosu Temple..."
"What is the girl talking about..."Peng Yue didn't expect Jiaowa to say such a thing, originally Peng Yue thought that if he refused politely, Jiaowa should know the difficulty and retreat, but who knew that she was "more frustrated and braver", and when she said this, Peng Yue didn't know how to respond.
"Are you afraid that our sisters will have some conspiracy and tricks?" Jiaowa stared at Peng Yue, her eyes were a little provocative, but the corners of her mouth inadvertently swayed a smile. This is what Xue Qi taught herself, originally the agitation method is not a clever trick, but if a beautiful woman uses it to deal with a man, it will have a surprising effect.
Sure enough, Peng Yue's steps that had already made up his mind to move forward instantly became hesitant again, but he still barely squeezed out a smile on his face, "The girl said a good joke, where did the conspiracy come from?" And why be afraid? ”
"Since you're not afraid, then the adults will go with the concubine." Jiaowa was very proud at this time and brought Peng Yue into the circle, "Lishui Courtyard is just in front, just a few steps away, is it possible that there is really something big that adults can't delay?" ”
"Okay then..."Peng Yue smiled bitterly, "Then go with the girl." ”
Seeing Peng Yue agree, Jiaowa couldn't help but rejoice, only to see her turn around excitedly, suddenly smiled back, and said softly to Peng Yue: "My lord, you have to follow the concubine, otherwise you will be lost in a while." ”
"Lost? Could it be that you can still be trafficked? Peng Yue said with a smile in his heart, and after a while, he was taken to a side door by Jiaowa.
"It's already here, please come in, sir." As soon as Jiaowa turned around, she unsurprisingly met Peng Yue's somewhat suspicious eyes.
"Girl, this..."
"Don't worry, this is the back door of Lishui Courtyard, which is connected to a small vegetable garden, and no one walks around on weekdays." Jiaowa gently pushed on the small side door as she spoke, and then some dust fell down, "Taking into account the reputation of adults, so meet here, people who know... Ahem... It's less..."
"Come in, my lord," Jiaowa frowned, and slapped her handkerchief twice in front of her eyes, "It's not very clean here, let's come in and talk." ”
"Well, okay..."Peng Yue immediately didn't think about it, and walked in with Jiao Wa.
Jiaowa said well, as soon as you enter the door, you will see a small vegetable bed, you can see that there are not often people here to take care of it, and the weeds in some places have grown very high. Fortunately, this vegetable furrow is not too big, otherwise Peng Yue couldn't help but complain.
Walking further, turning two corners, Peng Yue finally saw where Xueqi Jiaowa's room was, and was about to say something, Jiaohua walked faster than herself, and flashed in three steps and two steps.
"My sister teased me, I thought it was very clean, but look at it... Make other people's shoes dirty like this..."Jiaowa was disgusted, and patted her trouser leg with a handkerchief, "This is good, this handkerchief is not needed, my sister will compensate me." ”
"Okay, knowing that my sister is hard, if I clean up that place, can it still be considered a secret?" Xueqi said with a smile, "There is a pair of shoes at the door, sister hurry up and change them." ”
"Eh, where is Master Peng?" Xue Qi looked at the baby who was busy changing her shoes, and couldn't help but think of something, "Didn't he come with you?" No, then what kind of back door do you go through? ”
"Girl, I'm here," Peng Yue said as he pushed open the door, "I got my shoes dirty outside just now, so I was delayed outside for a while, and the room that saved the girl also suffered..."
"Ahh It's all my fault, I almost lost the adult..."Jiaowa turned around to look at Peng Yue, who was rubbing the dirt outside the door, and couldn't help but sneer.
"A child's heart..."Xue Qi smiled and glanced at the baby, then took two steps forward and pulled Peng Yue closer to the house, "Adults are exquisite..."
"Sister, you don't know, it's hard for adults to invite, I made peace outside for a long time, and the adults reluctantly agreed to come with me." After changing her shoes, she went to the house again and made a joke.
In fact, although Jiaowa has been in this Lishui Courtyard for a longer time than Xueqi, she is not as mature as Xueqi, but it is her undisguised childishness that has caused a group of sons in the capital to fall in love with her. Coupled with her experience in singing, she also learned to meet and say what to say, she can find out Peng Yue's temperament, so she does not shy away from joking with Peng Yue, and even makes fun of him, in fact, some sons like her like this, although sometimes they will suffer, but after all, it is a very rare case.
"The girl made fun of her." Peng Yue picked a seat and sat down as he spoke, "Didn't I come with the girl?" ”
"What else do you say..."Jiaowa raised her head with a smile and naughtily snorted at Peng Yue, "When the concubine invited adults outside, the adults first said that they wanted to take care of the business, and then said that they wanted to take a look at what school, did I forget?" ”
Peng Yue listened and smiled embarrassedly, "The girl has a good memory..."
"Sister, don't say it anymore, I see that the adult's face is red..."Xue Qi said as she made a cup of tea for Peng Yue, and sat down next to Peng Yue by the way, "The adult just takes care of the business, why do you have to go to the school?" Could it be that adults still think that their knowledge is not good enough? ”
"Yes, yes, the adult's knowledge is so good, do you still need to go to the school?" Jiaowa said as she sat on the seat and poured herself a cup of tea, "It can be seen that adults can't lie, even we little women can't fool..."
"I'm not lying to you, I'm telling the truth... Ahem..."Peng Yue was indeed thirsty, but he choked on the tea in a big gulp.
"Adults drink slowly..."Xue Qi said as she refilled another cup of tea for Peng Yue.
"I didn't go to the academy to do learning, but to see the situation, don't you even know about the schools in the capital?" Peng Yue said this, but a little disappointed, it seems that the impact of these schools he founded is still too small, "It is the kind of school that is available in the south and north of the city, and recently the west of the city has also opened, the scale is very large, and there are many children from poor families who are also studying there, you... Really don't know? ”
Jiaowa looked dazed, but Xue Qi opened her mouth first, "I know, I know about this, but I didn't expect that the school was opened by an adult..."
"Isn't your business doing well? Why do you want to open a school? to make money," Jiaowa asked puzzled.
"I didn't start a school to make money, but... It's ten years of trees, a hundred years of people, if a country wants to develop well, education is just the most important, if it can be ideological..."Peng Yue stopped when he said this, because in front of these two women, he still had to be cautious, and he couldn't say something that shouldn't be said, after all, they were "Yan Shifan's people", "In short, it is very important to run a school, besides, if it is to make money, I will not accept those poor children, you must know that it is a big expense for me to provide them with education." ”
"So, it's still a money-losing deal?" Jiaowa listened to it on the sidelines, but she was even more puzzled.
"Sister short-sighted, adults are the pillars of the country, and the angle we consider is naturally different..."Xue Qi touched Jiaowa's hand, and then turned to look at Peng Yue, "Ten years of trees, a hundred years of people, it seems that adults have the talent of pipes, and the concubine admires it." ”
"The girl is too famous, how dare I compare with Guan Zhong..."Peng Yue smiled slightly, but he was very useful to Xueqi's words in his heart.
"My lord, the concubine has an idea in her heart, and I hope that the concubine can fulfill it..."Xue Qi said as she looked at Jiao Wa and made a silent gesture to her, "The concubine knows that there are many children from poor families studying in Master Peng's school, so the concubine also wants to contribute some money to subsidize some..."
"Huh?" When Peng Yue heard this, he almost choked on a mouthful of tea again, and the Jiaowa on the side was also a little surprised when he looked at Xueqi, but because Xueqi signaled Jiaowa not to speak with her eyes just now, Jiaowa didn't dare to talk more.
"Don't misunderstand, my lord, the concubine has an understanding of the school, so I have this idea..."Xue Qi looked at Peng Yue with a serious face at this time, but there was a little delicate and cute taste in her eyes, "I heard that the concubine heard that in the adult's school... And a girl studying? ”
"It's... Although Peng Yue knew that this era did not allow women's scientific examinations, and it could even be said that there was no status for women, he believed that education did not distinguish between men and women, and the propaganda and indoctrination of ideas could not be divided between men and women, and in ancient times, women were often the most poisoned by feudal thoughts.
Of course, another point is because after coming to ancient times, he has seen and heard too many poor families selling their sons and daughters, for example, many women in the Qinglou were sold into the Qinglou since childhood, which is also the reason why he sympathizes with some Qinglou women and has no prejudice against some Qinglou women. So he wanted to do something, so he opened another elementary school to teach poor girls to read, and gave a lot of help to some of them to prevent tragedy from happening. But after all, there are very few people, and the role is not great, making it like a little girl's kindergarten, just asking for peace of mind.
"What, there are still poor girls in the school?" At this time, Jiaowa forgot Xueqi's reminder, and her eyes were wide open.
"Ahh Yes..."Peng Yue mentioned this question, and had to smile bitterly, "Actually, the effect is not great, just ask for peace of mind." ”
"My lord, in fact, the concubine has long heard that there is a school to recruit poor girls, but I didn't expect it to be true, now that I know that the adult is running this matter, the concubine naturally wants to make a difference..."
In fact, at the beginning, Xue Qi proposed to fund the school, with the purpose of winning trust and even pleasing Peng Yue, she knew that because of Yan Shifan, Peng Yue was jealous of herself and Jiaowa. Therefore, she wanted to show Peng Yue through this incident that she was a kind person, and with contact, she could have more opportunities to show Peng Yue that she was not a person who was sincerely subservient to Yan Shifan. Wanting to "capture" a man is just "doing what he likes", Xueqi firmly believes that she is doing the right thing, and she is also willing to pay for the money, after all, the money is not in the number, it is just a heart.
But when she heard from Peng Yue that there was indeed a school to teach her girl to read, she had other thoughts, because she also had some similar bitter cold background. Xue Qi is a kind woman, she knows the helplessness here, so she doesn't want the same tragedy to happen to others, so even if it is for her own conscience, she has to sponsor this school.
Listening to Xueqi's words, Peng Yue couldn't help but be moved, and just wanted to speak, but was robbed by the Jiaowa on the side, "Since there is this kind of thing, I also want to sponsor it, I can teach them piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and tell them how to treat people..."
"Forget it, I think you want to teach these girls badly, is it possible that you want to be a mother?" Xue Qi smiled and pursed her lips.
"What, my sister is joking with me again..."Jiaowa pouted with a complaining expression, "Can my sister have a compassionate heart and not allow me to follow suit?" It's not like my sister doesn't know my background..."
Peng Yue saw that these two beauties were "bickering" with each other, which was also interesting, but seeing that the topic of the two was gradually "heavy", he coughed lightly twice and interjected on the side: "Two girls, in fact, your mind Peng is quite admired, but you... You don't have to worry, I don't have a financial problem, so I won't bother the two girls. Originally, Peng Yue's thought in his heart was, "It's not easy for you to make money, although you make a lot of money, but after all, it's "hard-earned money", but he felt that it hurt to say it like this, so he temporarily changed his words.
"We know there's nothing wrong with you, but we do want to do our part." Jiaowa said with a smile on the side.
"Uh... Two girls... In fact... There's really no need for that, is it? Peng Yue was a little embarrassed at this time, he really felt that this matter could be described as sudden, he didn't expect Xue Qi and Jiaowa to suddenly make such a request.
"What exactly are they for?" , this was the first thought that popped into Peng Yue's mind, he began to think about today's everything, he couldn't think of what these two women were trying to "calculate" themselves. Thinking about the past, but they can't rub it together anyway, what do they want to do...
Notes:1. Ten years of trees, a hundred years of people" comes from the book "Guanzi", so Xueqi will say anything about "Guan Zhongzhicai" in the book. (Drop a book bag, reader Mo spray, because the primary school I attended is called Shuren Primary School, which has a great impact on the author, so there is a deep plot for this sentence, hehe... )
2. In terms of women's education in ancient times, in the Tang Dynasty, the daughters of princes and nobles could enter the hall to learn some knowledge of medicine, history, and culture, but the daughters of poor families did not think about it. But in the Ming and Qing dynasties, teaching women to read was not too perverse and unimaginable. For example, Li Zhen in the middle and late Ming Dynasty openly recruited female disciples, and Yuan Mei in the Qing Dynasty also openly recruited dozens of female disciples. Moreover, in this book, the author's setting for this is "funding first, professors secondary", after all, the supplement has little effect, if readers still have questions, don't dwell on it, just skip it.
