"Okay, you take this kid downstairs to find the shopkeeper Wang just now, and reply to him truthfully, if you ask, just say that I will talk to Boss Qin."

"Thank you, Miss Ning."

"Thank you, Miss Ning." The timid voice of the child who had not spoken on the side followed the old man.

Ning Yi realized that this was still a little girl, Ning Yi smiled at her, the girl suddenly shrank back behind her grandfather, and then poked her head out to look at her.

"Recruiting people here, you are short of work, I am just a needle threader, and I deserve to thank you there."

The old man obviously understood the meaning of her words, pulled the child and bowed, and then exited the box, she did not want to give favors, but he could not be ungrateful.

Ning Yi picked up the tea bowl.

The downstairs drama is ready to start.

Qin Yunhuai turned around on the stage, and the corner of his charming and amorous eyes happened to see the figure in that position on the second floor, and when he retracted his gaze, he turned over again, his clothes flew over, but the next time he turned around, the position was empty.

The curtain was closed.

Background.

"Miss Ning is here today?"

"Yes, I just don't know why, I left in a hurry just now."

Qin Yunhuai lowered his eyes, "Got it, you go down." ”

"By the way," the shopkeeper Wang remembered, "Miss Ning brought two people dressed as flowers, saying that we were recruiting people here, and she happened to meet them." ”

"People?" Qin Yunhuai was a little inexplicable, "What person?" ”

"The old man brought a granddaughter, saying that he came from Hunan, the Xiangjiang River was flooded, and the family was flooded, leaving only this old and young, originally went to Beijing to bid for relatives, but there was an accident, and the relatives did not defect, and the entanglement was gone." Shopkeeper Wang had a good impression of these two people, "The old man looks and talks, not like those mud legs born in the countryside, and the female doll is also taught well, even if she is hungry, she is still unhurried to eat." ”

Qin Yunhuai didn't express any opinions, "Since the people are here, they will stay." He suddenly remembered that Ning Yi had talked about the desertion of his house a few times before, and added, "There is no shortage of people in the pear garden, you give people to Ah Yue and let him arrange them to go to the Qin family." ”

"Yes."

"Ning Yi is here! Sit down. "Since the Guerjia clan came back from the temple, they have been a lot more enthusiastic about Ning Yi.

"Fourth sister-in-law." Ning Yi shouted and sat down in front of her.

Guerjia nodded with a smile and poured a cup of tea for Lan Xin on the side, "Your fourth brother has already told me, do you want to go to school?" ”

"Yes, I have nothing to do in the house all the time, and the original teacher has also returned to China, so I want to go out to school."

Guerga nodded, "It's okay to go out and take a walk." ”

Ning Yi was a little surprised, if she didn't object in the past, the Guerjia clan wouldn't agree with her decision very much, it seems that a lot has indeed changed these days.

"Have you decided which school to go to?"

And most of the girls' schools are church schools, Mu Zhen, Huiwen, Yuying, and Bei Man's four major church schools, although they were established early, but most of the church schools are children from ordinary families or poor families, and there are many orphans, even if Ning Yi doesn't care about these, her fourth brother probably won't agree.

"It's a pity that the Eight Flags Academy doesn't accept female students, otherwise if you go there, your fourth brother and I can rest assured."

The Eight Banners School is the same as its name, only recruiting the children of the Eight Banners, and the original name was Jingzheng Academy, which was later renamed the Eight Banners Higher School of the Sect. If it is said that the place where the children of the Eight Banners go, this is naturally the first choice, but it only recruits men.

Although women's rights are now being emphasized, women's education is being promoted, women's newspapers are running, and various activities are in full swing, it is still quite difficult for women in this world, but this is at least a kind of progress.

This is indeed a problem, and breaking the status quo of the unique church women's studies will have to be at least after the imperial court decrees next year.

Lan Yue sent the people away, and Lan Xin helped the Guerjia clan up, "Fujin, be careful." ”

Guerjia put his hand on his lower abdomen and smiled motherly: "It's just a guess, it's not sure yet." ”

That being said, the caution in her actions is clearly confirmed.

"Ning Yigege doesn't know what to think, and suddenly she is going to go to a girls' school?" Lan Yue came back after sending people back, and wondered.

Lan Xin glanced at her warnly, the Guerjia clan happened to be in a good mood, and he didn't care about these rules.

She walked to the edge of a pot of orchids and picked up scissors to cut off the extra branches and leaves, just into the summer, the original peony has long been removed, this pot of orchid was sent a few days ago.

"It's okay to go out for a walk more, Ning Yi's body is too weak, maybe you can be stronger when you go out and see more people, and now that the Queen Mother encourages the establishment of women's schools, our family can't fall behind." Maybe it's because Zaifeng has stayed in her room for more days these days, Zaifeng originally went to study and admired these Westerners, although she still doesn't love these days, but there is less rejection.

The sky was just dawning, the weeds on the roadside were rolling with dewdrops, the air seemed to be filled with moisture, and the sound of insects on both sides of the road gradually increased in early summer.

Chen passed the path to the gate of the Jietai Temple.

"Bang bang bang!" She waited a moment.

"Squeak!" The door opened from the inside, and a small novice came out of it, "Hello Master Chen, you are here!" ”

Chen nodded and handed over the big bag he was carrying, "This is the laundry I have washed in the past few days." ”

The little novice hurriedly took it, put his hands together and recited the Buddha, "Thank you, donor." ”

Chen paused and seemed to be a little difficult to speak: "In the future, the woman has something to do, I'm afraid I won't be able to help the master pulp and laundry,"

Xiao Shami was a little surprised, Chen has been helping the temple to pulp and wash clothes all these years while living under the mountain, even rain or shine, but he didn't think much about it, he just thought that she was going back with her son, and her son he had seen a few times, only knew that it was a handsome man, "No hindrance, I'm ashamed to say that these are the things that the little monks should do themselves, but they have been tired of the donor for so long, I'm really sorry for you." Is the donor going home with the Qin donor? The reunion of mother and son is a happy event, and the little monk congratulates the donor. ”

Chen's eyes were empty for a moment, and he only came back to his senses and said: "This should be what I did, if there is no temple to take care of me all these years, I can no longer live under the mountain, I am now a dead man, these are just small things, if I am asked to do nothing, it really makes the little woman feel uneasy." ”

"This..." Xiao Shami scratched his bare head, "The donor is polite, the monks should be merciful. ”

Xiao Shami was only a dozen years old, and this appearance reminded her of Qin Yunhuai's appearance when she was a child, Chen coughed twice, and a smile appeared on her face, "In this way, in the future, the little woman will be entangled in the world, and I am afraid that she will not be able to come to worship the Buddha often." ”

Xiao Shami hurriedly said: "Sincerity is peace, the abbot often teaches his disciples that there is a Buddha in their hearts, and they don't have to stick to the form." If the donor needs any help in the future, it is okay. ”

"Thank you, little master.".

After Chen's farewell, he went down the mountain along the way back, but the road that was supposed to be half an hour was walked for an hour before returning.
