Chapter 578: Being a Mother
Tang Geng and Ji Xiaotian glanced at her with an indescribable expression at the same time.
Of course, the fortune-telling thing was still very beautiful, and in the end, the guests and hosts were happy, and Ji Xiaotian promised Zhuang Siyan to go to the academy to study with the master.
Tang Geng also completed the task honorably and returned to his yamen.
Zhuang Siyan hadn't been to the academy for a long time, so he took advantage of sending Ji Xiaotian and Wan Liwan and Qingshi together, ready to go there.
It's just that you have to buy something before you go.
First of all, Ji Xiaotian's things, now that he has no father or mother, and even his master is gone, Zhuang Siyan, as his new master, still has some things to worry about.
Although there are many things in the academy, in order to keep his psychological gap not too big, she still tries to buy some and bring them to him.
In addition, there are old Mr. Bai inside, the invited masters, and her own sister and others, who have not seen each other for a long time, and they all have to give some gifts to show that they still think about them in their hearts.
It also cost a lot of money to buy it.
And a few people couldn't take it at all, so they finally hired a carriage to load all the things and send them to the academy.
The address of the college was originally chosen by Ho Da.
In the easternmost part of the entire capital, there was originally a large family, but later, I don't know what the reason for that family was, they left the capital, and the house has been empty.
What means did Lord He use to get it, Zhuang Siyan didn't ask in detail at the time, anyway, it looked good, so he used it temporarily.
There is a lot of space inside, and there are a lot of houses, and after they re-encircled it, they opened up the partitions that should be opened up, and built several separate small colleges, which can separate people of different ages and majors.
Already in the style of the first modern school.
However, in the name of the college, Zhuang Siyan did not dare to use the word "sweet" again.
After all, this is a place to study the 28 classics, and she is just a Zhang Luo person, and the management has to be managed by Mr. Bai, so he is responsible for the name again.
Mr. Bai was not polite and took the words "Qingming Academy".
What exactly does it mean, Zhuang Siyan hasn't checked it, but he feels that it is still very high and high-grade.
The carriage stopped at the gate of Qingming Academy, and the group got out of the car, looked up and saw the four big characters with gold stamping on a black background on the door, and their mood was good.
Zhuang Siyan pulled Ji Xiaotian over and asked him, "How is it?" Isn't this more magnificent than the detective agency, let me tell you, there are many children as old as you in it, after you go in, you can study with them, dare to watch them play together, and practice martial arts together, to ensure that you don't want to think about it. ”
This statement is a bit like a modern parent, coaxing their children to go to kindergarten.
I don't know where Miss Zhuang learned it subtly.
However, Ji Xiaotian is not a kindergarten child, he is not only older, he has seen a lot of things, but he is also very smart, so he doesn't have much hope here.
It's just that as Zhuang Siyan agreed, he walked inside with the teacher in the academy.
The group went in and distributed the gifts lively.
Zhuang Siyan talked to Mr. Bai for a while, and then took Wan Liwan around.
There are not only invited female masters, but also some mothers-in-law, who are in charge of the children's food, clothing, and other things, which is similar to that of modern boarding schools.
For Zhuang Siyan, there is nothing new.
But Wan Liwan was dumbfounded.
In her cognition, before a woman got married, she was at the door of her mother's house, and after she got married, she was going around their backyard, basically only her husband and children in her eyes.
As for going out to do things, only people from poor families will go out.
The younger ones are the maids of the big families, the older ones are the nurses, the rough mothers-in-law, and the things that teach people to read have always been done by men, when is it the turn of women to intervene?
But it's clearly doing it here, and it looks like it's doing pretty well.
Zhuang Siyan introduced her: "There are also female students here, in addition to learning some reading and literacy, sometimes they also learn some female celebrities and the like.
And female teachers teach female students, which is relatively convenient, and it is easy to talk if you have something to say.
They have about five taels of silver a month here, of course, in addition to teaching and doing things, they also have to do their own things.
In general, here they are alone, and there are no maids to serve them, and they do not have to take care of others, just like the men, to earn their own money. ”
Wan Liwan's eyes widened wider and wider.
She didn't believe what she saw with her eyes at first, and now she didn't believe what Zhuang Siyan said.
But looking at her expression, it didn't look like she was lying to deceive herself, and in the end she had to find something from it: "What are those mothers-in-law doing?" ”
Zhuang Siyan glanced at the mother-in-law who hurriedly walked in front of them and saluted the two of them briefly: "They cook and take care of some of the daily life of the children here." But it's all big things, and the little things the children have to learn to do by themselves. ”
Qingming Academy has moved closer to the management of modern schools.
This kind of thing is nothing new to Zhuang Siyan, after all, she herself came out step by step in school, and she was very naughty when she went to school, and the whole school, whether it was a teacher or a life teacher, had a headache when she saw her.
When she was a child, she was very measured in her work, basically kept not making big mistakes, and kept making small mistakes, coupled with the poverty of her family, the school could not drive her out directly.
Over time, those life teachers who usually manage the dormitory have to deliberately get close to her, so that they can avoid some troubles.
Because of this, she knows some of the patterns in the school better than others, and it is more than enough to use here.
But Wan Liwan didn't know.
The difference in the living environment made her surprised and at a loss for what she saw.
Zhuang Siyan didn't plan to do it in one step, like Hu Yun, let her accept everything here at once, just take the opportunity to take her out to have a look.
Can't become Ling Tiancheng's veritable concubine, there is really nothing to survive living in that deep palace, it will only consume his youth, it is better to come out and find a more suitable place for himself.
They passed through several colleges, and through the doors and windows closed in the harsh winter, they could still hear the sound of reading in the room.
And in the courtyard of martial arts, there were a few children, wearing only thin shirts, practicing martial arts in the courtyard.
They are probably in their teens, and although they don't look low, they still have childish looks on their faces.
The white breath exhaled in large clusters blurred their faces for a while, and then dispersed again.
Like them, the master of martial arts is instructing them in the snow to regulate their movements.
Wan Liwan is in the deep palace, where have she seen so many men? It's disheveled again, so her reddish face, which was already frozen, is even redder now, and I don't know if it's colder or if she's having a fever herself.
Zhuang Siyan didn't care, when she was fighting in Jincheng with Ye Yuanpei before, it didn't matter if she slept in a military tent with these men, let alone this?
However, she could also understand Wan Liwan's mood, so she was not too reluctant, took a cursory look, and then took her people out.
I don't want to go back to the palace, but with someone like Wan Liwan, she can't play, basically everything she thinks is fun on the street, she will blush when she sees it, and she thinks that women shouldn't get close.
In the end, I had to eat outside in a hurry, and then returned to the harem.
As soon as Ling Tiantian saw her come back, she danced happily with her hands, opened her small mouth and screamed, and those who understood his children's Chinese could be translated as: "Mom is back, I want my mother to hug, I want my mother to hug." ”
Although Zhuang Siyan can't translate, she is a person with similar blood, and she can see some of his thoughts from Ling Tiantian's eyes, but at the moment she still has important things to do, and she doesn't want to hug him.
Ling Tiantian saw her walk past her, went directly into the inner room to change her clothes, turned a deaf ear to the cry of "whoop", pulled the corners of her mouth, and simply cried to her.
Since the insect disease was cured, this kid has let go of his belly every day, and it hasn't been long before he has grown back the meat he had lost before, and he is full of energy at this time.
When he was crying and struggling, he couldn't even hold Ping'er, and he was careful, and he almost didn't fall him down, and he scared himself into a cold sweat.
Zhuang Siyan was also pulled back by his earth-shattering voice, turned back very anxiously, held him in his arms indiscriminately, and kissed him on the face: "What are you crying about, what are you crying, your mother just came back from outside, can you change clothes and hug them again?" ”
Ling Tiantian seemed to understand her words, and really let go of her tears, and opened a tearful and smiling face to her.
Zhuang Siyan, who is a mother, was really infected by this smile, and the body that was going to leave was fixed there, and she hugged him decisively for a while, forgetting about the change of clothes.
It wasn't until Ling Tiancheng came back from Chenxi Hall that he habitually came to see Ling Tiantian, and found that she had also come back early, and he was a little surprised: "It's rare to go out once, and you come back without playing until dark, it's really rare." ”
Zhuang Siyan pretended to listen to him and stuffed Ling Tiantian into his hand: "Okay, I'll go out now, and I'll come back when it gets dark......"
Before he left, he was dragged back by Ling Tiancheng, and even took Ling Tiantian with him into his own arms.
Ling Tiantian's eyes widened, and she couldn't understand what her own father and mother were doing, why did she blush so much?
The two were eye to eye, nose to nose, and after a while, they even returned their mouths to mouth......
Hey, it's really shameless.
He waved his little hand, trying to cover his eyes, but the little short hand, coupled with wearing a thick winter coat, made trouble for a long time, but it didn't reach his eyes, but people misunderstood that he was scratching and picking, and he wanted to separate the two.
So Ling Tianguo decisively called the palace maid outside: "Ping'er, take the little prince out to play for a while......"
Ling Tiantian: "......"
He just cried and played the mother who earned it back, why did he cheapen his own father?
Ling Tiancheng didn't care so much about him, as soon as he stuffed people to Ping'er, he picked up Zhuang Siyan and walked straight to the inner room.
Zhuang Siyan raised his head in his arms, blinked his eyes and asked, "What's the matter, what is the stimulus, is Da Bai doing such a shameful thing......
Ling Tianli didn't reply, and his steps were faster.
Zhuang Siyan could only say again: "I still have something to tell you?" I saw Wen Qing today, has he already entered the palace? He...... Hmmm......"
