"Sister Dye is good! Sister Dye, I miss you! A little girl threw herself into the arms of the white crane like the wind, and the fleshy little face rubbed against her, which was very cute.

Bai Heran's heart softened suddenly, and the belly qi that he had born in the Guogong Mansion before disappeared in an instant.

She picked up the little girl's fleshy face and looked left and right, "Our Xiao Yao has gained weight, and she looks better, and she is a lot whiter." ”

The little girl is Donggong Yuan's sister Donggong Yao, a child of this age has not lost her baby fat, and she looks cute, even if it is a person like Bai Heran who doesn't like children very much, she can't resist it.

"Sister Dye, you're getting better and better, but you're not fat, you're still a little thin. Sister Dye, you have to eat more, my brother said, girls still have to have some meat on their bodies to be cute. ”

Donggong Yuan, who was standing on the side, was very helpless, he was talking about the little girl, okay? It's like Donggong Yao, which is so small.

"Master." Donggong Yuan waved his hand respectfully towards Bai Heran and saluted, "It's the first time that the master here in the academy has come. ”

Bai Heran nodded, "There have been a lot of things recently, and I really can't take care of it." She said and pinched Donggong Yao's little face, "Why did you bring Xiao Yao too?" She should be sent to school at her age! ”

Donggong Yuan looked helpless, "She is here to study, and she has to follow her disciple to Tianci Academy to study." ”

Donggong Yao raised her little face, "Sister Dye, I have a bundle of repairs!" My brother said that it is okay to come to study, but the silver must not be less. Not only that, but we also want to help more people, so I will be a little gentleman every day and teach the girls how to perfume. Some of the boys are willing to learn from me! ”

"Perfumery?" Bai Heran was really a little surprised, she asked Donggong Yao, "Do you know how to make fragrances?" What kind of incense is it? ”

"Any fragrance can be scented." Donggong Yao was very proud of her strength, she told Bai Heran, "Because my brother is a doctor, there are a lot of medical books at home, so I have been reading those books since I was literate, and I read them all as books." There are a few books written about concoction incense, and I like it the most, so I begged my brother to buy a lot of books on concocting spices to read, and I slowly learned it. But I don't just mix spices for medicine, I can also mix rouge powder, anyway, I can mix all kinds of fragrant things. My brother said that I can teach everyone this skill, and then when the town is built, I can go to my sister's rouge workshop to help. ”

Bai Heran was slightly surprised, she looked at Donggong Yuan and asked him for confirmation, but when she saw Donggong Yuan nodding, she couldn't help but rejoice.

"It's really effortless, I was thinking about where to find a reliable and skilled rouge master, but I didn't expect our Xiao Yao to be a master."

Donggong Yuan hurriedly poured cold water on her: "She just knows how to mix fragrances, and the spices she mixes out taste good and have some effects, but they are absolutely incomparable with the rouge you made, Master." If the rouge shop is all dependent on her, I'm afraid it will be no different from the usual rouge shop. ”

Bai Heran waved his hand, "It's okay, Xiao Yao has a hand, I will make a prescription, and the combination of the two is the best." But Xiao Yao, you should still read more at your age, and you can't delay the knowledge in books because of perfumery. ”

"Sister Dye rest assured, I won't delay reading, just like now, I teach everyone to make incense while reading, and in the future, Tianci Town will set up a academy, and I can also go there to study." Anyway, it's not far from the capital, my brother can go to see me at any time if he misses me, and my sister shouldn't be a place to live, right? ”

"Would you like to live in my princess's mansion? Be my companion? ”

"My sister is moving in too?" Donggong Yao was happy, "Great, Sister Ran, I like you!" Sister Ran, are you here to visit the academy today? Shall I take you to see my little medicine garden? I took everyone to transplant some medicinal seedlings and flower seedlings, all of which were used to make spices, which were purchased with the private money I had saved over the years, and we went to have a look. ”

Bai Heran was happy to go to see her small medicine garden, and Donggong Yao walked in front happily, greeting her classmates in the academy from time to time, and her popularity was very good.

Donggong Yuan said: "In the past, in the palace, there was very little time to accompany this child, and after her father and mother passed away, she was actually brought up by the maid. I feel very guilty about this, and I always want to spend more time with her to make up for some brother and sister affection. But this child is sensible, and has never been unhappy because I am less with her, and I have learned the spice industry, and every day can be regarded as fulfilling. ”

Bai Heran nodded, "That's it, children's loneliness is easy to solve, give them a hobby, and you can ponder for a long time." Once this hobby is her strength, she can study it for many years. ”

"Master just said that Xiao Yao will live in the princess's mansion, will it disturb you?" Donggong Yuan was really worried about his sister's temperament, "Xu has never been with his parents since he was a child, so this child is sensible early, and sometimes there are always some inexplicable and wonderful ideas, and the disciple is afraid that she will live in the past and quarrel with the master." ”

Bai Heran hurriedly shook his head, "No, I like her very much, I just like this kind of fleshy, soft and glutinous child." We don't have a girl of this age in our family, although we have a sister who is only ten years old, but that sister has been raised so hard that she has lost the innocence and cuteness that a child should have. It's rare to have a child like Xiao Yao who is willing to be close to me, don't hold me back. ”

Donggong Yuan smiled bitterly, "It's good that Master doesn't think she's noisy." ”

Donggong Yao's small medicine garden is not very big, and it looks like fifteen or sixteen square meters, and it is really as she said, not only planting some medicinal materials that are easy to survive and have a short survival period, but also transplanting a lot of plants that can bloom soon. She saw that there must have been at least twenty kinds of flowers, all of which were of different colors, all of which were used for plant pigments.

The little girl happily introduced the small medicine garden, and soon many young girls came around, and Donggong Yao didn't care about showing off her territory, and was busy telling those young girls about the common sense of incense making, including how to extract the color of incense from these flowers and green leaves.

Bai Heran took a few steps back, and looked at Donggong Yao with a smile as a little gentleman, and those young girls also listened to her seriously, learned from her, and asked if they didn't understand, and they didn't feel embarrassed at all because Donggong Yao was still a child.

Donggong Yuan told her: "Their desire to learn skills is very strong, maybe because they used to be hard, and eating and dressing are luxuries, how can they delusionally learn crafts and skills?" You don't need to spend money to do anything! Now that these young people, both men and women, are hungry for nutrients, and some of them can't even sleep at night, repeating what they have learned during the day over and over again. The same is true of the children, who often get up before dawn to recite books, because their parents tell them that if they don't study well, they can only go back to the poor alleys in the north of the city and continue to live the same life as before. ”

He sighed softly, "The difference between Tianci Academy and Paupan Alley, heaven and earth, who wants to go back?" ”

"Is there enough room to live?" Bai Heran is more concerned about people's livelihood issues, "Do the children all live in the academy? ”

Donggong Yuan nodded, "Yes, the children live in the academy, and those over the age of twelve return to live at home every day." The college has arranged several large carriages, which are responsible for picking up and dropping off once a day in the morning and evening, and there is no problem with safety. At present, the place to live is enough, leaving two temporary rooms, like some schoolwork heavy at night can not go, will temporarily live for two nights, but if they are left to stay, I am afraid it is not enough. The disciple once thought about buying another mansion next to it and connecting it to the academy, so that more people could live there. But don't we have a god-given town now? The cost of living in the city is too high, and it is not cost-effective, so you can consider dispersing some of the people there after the academy in the town is built. ”

Bai Heran thought for a while and said, "It's still a bit chaotic to let children and adults study together, and in the future, this academy in the capital city will still be left to the children, and try to move the adults' homework to Tianci Town." If the whole family is studying at the college, ask them if they would like to relocate. There are also villages on the edge of Tianci Town, which are much closer to the capital and the conditions are better than those of the slums. Or when the town is built, if there is enough space, you can also live in the town. ”

Donggong Yuan agrees with this very much, "Master's idea is good, there are still many people in Shangdu City who do not live in the slums, but their lives are also very difficult, and the children in the family also cannot afford to go to school. The difference between them and the slums is that they have a relatively good home, but in fact, in addition to one home, there is also a shortage of money. This part of the people will definitely not relocate, so it is better for us to move the slum alley and vacate the academy for these poor children to study. What the master can't train are all craftsmen, and there should still be some students who want to follow the career path in the future. ”

Hakuzuru nodded, "That's it." But you can't do everything, you have to train and have someone do things for you, so that you can divide your energy to take care of the rest. ”

"Master, don't worry, we are not short of manpower now." Donggong Yuan pointed to some of the people who cleaned the academy and said, "They are all people from the north of the city, including the guards at the door, all of whom are personally selected by the disciples. They are literate, upright, honest, and although they have little interest in academics, they can take up nursing home and other positions. There are also those who are illiterate but have the strength to go to the backyard to chop wood, some to go to the stove to make a fire, and the woman to cook food in the kitchen. As for the laundry, it was all carried by the women who came to study pharmacology and perfumery. The work of carrying water and watering vegetables is also rushed by young men who come to learn their skills. ”

Donggong Yuan talked about the situation in the academy and was very proud, "The children can do a lot of things by themselves, although they can't do this kind of chopping wood and burning fires, but the children have planted their own vegetable gardens, and they can eat them in a month or two, and they don't have to go outside to buy them." ”

They walked around the academy while talking, and when they walked to the vegetable garden, Bai Heran saw a middle-aged man weeding in the vegetable field from a distance. She and Yingchun glanced at each other, and they all walked towards the man......
