Chapter 431: Moving Again

"King Jun, do we really want to move back?" The housekeeper Lao Fu asked Zhao Yan with a reluctant face, this is the front yard of the other courtyard, I saw men and women running around, busy packing up things, and the several big cars parked in the middle of the courtyard were almost full, a scene when moving.

"Lao Fu, I know you are reluctant, but I originally wanted to be quiet when I lived in the annex, but if you look around the courtyard, there are military schools and colleges, and Daomen also plans to build another avenue temple nearby, so it is even more lively than Tokyo City, so it is better to move back to the palace in the city to live." Zhao Yan looked at the busy scene around him, and couldn't help but sigh and said, he was also very reluctant to live in this courtyard for more than two years, but now it was time to leave.

Hearing Zhao Yan's words, Lao Fu also sighed, originally moved to live in another courtyard was just a helpless move after the flood, but later lived in the other courtyard for a long time, Lao Fu also felt that living in the other courtyard was more comfortable than in Tokyo City, and he also had feelings for the people and things here, and now Zhao Yan suddenly said that he wanted to move back, which made Lao Fu also a little uncomfortable.

Zhao Yan also knew that Lao Fu was reluctant to leave, but he couldn't help it, firstly, as he said, military schools and colleges and Taoist temples were added around the courtyard, and it was no longer peaceful at all, and secondly, Zhao Yan also wanted to carry out some reforms to the primary school, so that the primary school could accommodate more students, but in this way, the primary school could no longer be opened outside the city, after all, the students' comings and goings were really inconvenient, even if there was a carriage to pick them up, it would take a lot of time, and there were also safety problems.

Although Lao Fu was reluctant in his heart, he would not disobey Zhao Yan's wishes, and immediately shook his head and turned around to direct the servants to pack up his things, Zhao Yan also walked around the courtyard, and then returned to the inner house. At this time, the inner house was the same as the outer courtyard, all of them were busy, and Cao Ying took Mixue to walk around the courtyards to see if there was anything that he had forgotten to bring?

Zhao Yan also walked around the inner house, wanting to help do something, but he was not very familiar with the things at home. So it really didn't help much, but it was a little messy, and as a result, Cao Ying drove back to the study, and finally Zhao Yan felt really bored, so he simply lay on the bed and covered his head and fell asleep.

By the time Zhao Yan woke up, it was already afternoon, and the things at home were almost packed, but Cao Ying and the others were all busy, and they all ate lunch casually. didn't expect Zhao Yan to eat yet, let alone call him, which made Zhao Yan a little resentful, got up and ate something, and then ran to Yelusi to tease his daughter Siling.

In this way, they waited until the next morning, when they finished packing up their things in the courtyard, and then Zhao Yan and Cao Ying took a carriage and led more than a dozen carts to the county king's mansion in the city. Speaking of which, although Zhao Yan usually does not live in the palace. But there are also many people in the palace who are responsible for the usual cleaning, and Zhao Yan has already informed the people in the palace a few days ago that he wants to come back. Therefore, the mansion has already been cleaned, and Zhao Yan and they can move in directly when they come back.

With yesterday's lesson, Zhao Yan did not follow Cao Ying to help this time, but called Ouyang Wanling and Yan Yuru to get into a carriage and leave the palace, and rushed to the intersection of Lecture Hall Lane and Matou Street on the east side of the palace, where there was originally a garden of considerable scale. It belongs to the dowry of Princess Dening when she got married, this time I heard that Zhao Yan was going to run a primary school in the city, and Princess Dening, who was far away in Guangzhou, specially asked people to send a letter back, and gave this garden to Zhao Yan, so that he could toss it casually.

In fact, Zhao Yan decided to reform the primary school before that. I have selected a few places in the city, but the location is not as good as Princess Dening's garden, you must know that the lecture hall lane is close to the imperial city, and the terrain is relatively high, even if it encounters the last big flood, it will definitely not be flooded here, plus the name of the lecture hall lane is also very suitable for primary schools, so in the end, Zhao Yan finally decided to choose the site of the primary school here.

"Hey, why is this place so familiar?" Seeing that he was about to arrive at Princess Dening's garden, Zhao Yan in the carriage suddenly said in surprise, because he found that the streets passing by were very familiar, as if he had been here before, of course, he had been to many places in Tokyo City, and it was not strange to encounter a familiar place, but he looked at the familiar environment around him, but he felt that this place seemed to be very important to him.

"Giggles, how did the county king forget, not far from here is the place where the West Garden Elegant Gathering was held, but since the last time the county king made a big splash in the West Garden Elegant Gathering, the West Garden Elegant Gathering has been suspended, and I heard that even the West Garden has been abandoned." When Ouyang Wanling heard Zhao Yan's words, she couldn't help but smile and said, she was also present when the West Garden was gathering, but at that time, she never thought that she would come to this point with Zhao Yan.

"West Garden!" Zhao Yan couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard this familiar and unfamiliar name, thinking of his participation in the West Garden Elegant Gathering, he felt like he was in a dream for a while.

"Actually, the garden that Princess Dening gave us is called the East Garden, and it is next to the West Garden." At this time, she only heard Ouyang Wanling explain softly, and at the same time looked at Zhao Yan with some apprehension, because she knew that Xiyuan represented an unhappy marriage of Princess Bao'an, and Princess Bao'an was one of the people Zhao Yan cared about the most, so she was a little worried that Zhao Yan would think too much.

"I see, is the West Garden still in Wang Xu's hands?" Zhao Yan suddenly asked at this time, his face was also very calm when he mentioned Wang Xu, since the last time Wang Yan regretted going to Zhao Yan to remarry Princess Bao'an, Zhao Yan had already regarded this person as an inconsequential passerby.

"It seems to be gone, Wang Shu has returned to his hometown in Taiyuan half a year ago, it is said that before he left the capital, he handed over the Horse Mansion and the West Garden to the imperial court, and now the West Garden should still belong to the royal industry, but the area of the West Garden is large, and there are not many people to take care of it, so the garden is a little deserted." Ouyang Wanling spoke again, although she doesn't usually live in the capital, she usually has a lot of friends in the boudoir, and several women get together, so naturally the east and west families have a short chat, so she knows more about the affairs of Wang Xu's family.

"I see, but this is good news, if you can bring the West Garden over, you can set up a girls' school there!" Zhao Yan couldn't help but nod and muttered to himself when he heard this.

"Husband, do you really want to set up a girls' school?" Hearing Zhao Yan's words, Yan Yuru asked with a surprised face, for the reform of primary schools, one of the most important is the male and female branches, so that girls also have the right to education.

"Of course, you see that Ya'er and the others are better than Xue Li and the fourth brother in school, which shows that women are not worse than men, and even better in some aspects, so why not give them a chance to have the right to education?" Zhao Yan replied with a righteous face.

"What my husband said is so good, I also think that women are not worse than men, as long as they are given the same education, they will even do better than men!" When Ouyang Wanling heard Zhao Yan's words, she also agreed excitedly.

Ouyang Wanling couldn't marry because of her name before, which made her feel very aggrieved, and slowly developed a stubborn temper, and even had a sense of resistance to the patriarchal society she was in, in fact, this was the original feminism, of course, even Ouyang Wanling herself didn't find out, she now just thinks that men can do it, and women can do it.

However, Yan Yuru saw Ouyang Wanling's excited appearance, and then looked at the solemn expression on Zhao Yan's face, but she smiled secretly, and then leaned into Zhao Yan's ear and whispered: "Husband, why do I think you want to set up a girls' school, in fact, considering that Sister Wanling is a woman, it is inconvenient to manage a primary school with many male teachers, so she came up with such an idea, so that Sister Wanling can continue to do what she likes, and you don't have to worry about her coming into contact with other men!" ”

"Nonsense, being a husband is to sincerely contribute to the cause of women's liberation, where is it so dirty as you think?" When Zhao Yan heard Yan Yuru's words, he turned his head and whispered, but his tone was weak.

In fact, Yan Yuru guessed well, the reason why Zhao Yan set up a girls' school, more than eighty percent of the reasons are due to Ouyang Wanling, with the reform of primary schools, in the future, all primary schools will definitely be male teachers, in addition, in the current social environment, most people will only send boys to school, in this way, Ouyang Wanling and Yan Yuru will also become very inconvenient in school, and even attract some gossip, the so-called people are terrible, even if Zhao Yan doesn't care, he will be worried that Ouyang Wanling will feel uncomfortable after hearing it.

Of course, Zhao Yan can also make Ouyang Wanling no longer be a teacher, but during this time he found that Ouyang Wanling is different from Xue Ning'er, Yelusi and others, she is a woman with a lot of ideas, and she also likes the sense of accomplishment brought by educating children, Zhao Yan can't give all the women around him a complete love and marriage, so he hopes to make up for them in other aspects, since Ouyang Wanling likes to be a teacher, then he will find a way to let her do it, so in this case, the idea of a girls' school appeared.

Yan Yuru couldn't help but giggle when she heard Zhao Yan's words with such a weak heart, her eyes fluttered and she glanced at Zhao Yan a little coquettishly and said softly again: "The concubine knows that the husband is doing this to take care of Sister Wanling's thoughts, but the concubine body is different from Sister Wanling, and what she wants to do most now is to give birth to a son and a half daughter for her husband like Ning'er and Si'er, but I don't know when my husband will help the concubine realize this wish?"
