Thirty-four, four times together
Li Ping suddenly felt a long-lost family affection from Ziqing's words and actions, and she didn't remember that it was called maternal love for a long time1. Fastest update
After meeting her in-laws, Li Ping and her personal maid followed Shuyu back to their yard with a bunch of jewelry, and then saw her mother-in-law and the maids who accompanied her to find her in a hurry.
Shu Yu said coldly: "From now on, these people have changed. First pick a few from my mother's Zhuangzi to make do, and later, when you meet the right one, buy a few, in this yard, you are the grandmother, who dares not to follow, will be sold. ”
A few maids and wives were in a hurry, and they knelt down to plead, Li Ping knew their character very well, and she didn't plead for mercy1.
At this time, Yan Ran came in and said with a smile: "Third brother, the women's school and hospital I want to run are still missing a few people to clean the room and flush the bucket, it is better for the third brother and third sister-in-law to reward me, but let me save a few taels of silver." ”
"You cramped devil, okay, you take it away, if you don't obey them, you sell them again." Shu Yu said with a smile.
"Hey, I was still trying to ask my third sister-in-law to see my mother, but my third sister-in-law has already returned? What do you think? My mom and dad are okay, right? ”
"Well, my sister-in-law is not bad." Li Ping smiled and said a joke, this family is too different from the people in the palace, they look very easy-going with each other, and they speak casually, so they don't need to look at other people's eyes carefully in the palace.
Li Ping was thinking about this, Xiaozhu came over to invite Li Ping, and said, "Uncle and Uncle are here, and Mrs. Grandma asks Grandma to come over again." ”
Shu Yu hurriedly explained a few words to Li Ping about the Zeng family, Li Ping put down her things, followed Shu Yu back to the upper room, and Yan Ran handed over Li Ping's maids to the two of them and asked them to send them to Old Man Li.
In the upper room, Li Ping visited Zifu and Liu, Liu stayed to talk to Ziqing, and Zifu and Lin Kangping entered the study.
"I've just finished the affairs of these three nephews, and it's our eldest niece's turn again. Auntie can give you something. Liu smiled.
"It's not worrying, my father-in-law spent several years, and finally found two things, my sister should like it, that is, Song Huizong's painting, saying that it was given to this niece to add makeup." Fu Shi smiled.
"This is obviously something my mother likes, why did you give it to my sister?" Shuhiko asked with a smile.
"The fourth aunt is eccentric." Fang's also smiled and answered, Fang's gave birth to a daughter last winter, and now she is two months pregnant, and Chu Chu is now the mother of two sons.
"There's no way, scarcity is expensive, this nephew is worthless, this niece is just a 1." Fu Shi smiled.
"Who said that, there are two more little sisters." Chan said.
"Didn't you forget her? It's time to play. Fu Shi smiled.
Xia Ganyong came back from Shanxi after this year's assessment, Zixi found him a director of the Ministry of Industry, and he was also a Beijing official, no, they returned to Anzhou directly from Shanxi for the New Year, and they came back to take office after the New Year, so that the six Zeng family gathered again.
Several people laughed for a while, Zifu sent someone to call Ziqing, and everyone dispersed. Li Ping returned to the courtyard, counted the silver tickets in his hand, and asked Shuyu tremblingly: "Xianggong, the eldest brother and the second brother gave us 10,000 taels of silver, and the three uncles each received 1,000 taels, this morning, we received 23,000 taels of silver, these silvers, are they really ours?" ”
"But don't you think?" Shuyu touched his wife's head distressedly, saying that he came out of the palace, and he was scared like this for only tens of thousands of taels of silver, if this Ziqing gave her a box of silver tickets, she wouldn't be so scared that she couldn't hold it on the spot?
Li Ping gave Yu the silver ticket and looked at her in surprise.
"The principal for the business to the prime minister, I am at home, and I can't spend much."
"You won't come with me to Songjiang Mansion?" Shuyu's face cooled down a little.
"It's not that I don't want to, shouldn't I stay and serve my mother?"
Shu Yu eased his expression and said: "The rule of our family is that when we get married, we will live separately, my father and mother will know them after getting along for a long time in the future." ”
"Xianggong, can I really go out with you?" Li Ping still didn't seem to believe it.
In the study, Ziqing went in and asked, "Big brother, is there something looking for me?" ”
Zifu said: "What else can it be, this Yan'er has been married, and it hasn't been a few months, this battle for the crown prince, we don't want to stand in line and we have to stand, I want to ask, you have thought of a way out, in case this son-in-law doesn't happen in the future, we should deal with it as soon as possible1." ”
"A way out?" Ziqing was puzzled.
"What the eldest brother means, it's better to consider resigning first, but if you resign, you can't help Li Yi, it's not a dilemma." Zixi explained.
"Before, I didn't really have much idea, but after the last attack, I think we shouldn't be so passive anymore. Yan'er wants to set up a women's school, a Western medical center, etc., I want to help her, open a university in her name, just like the school that Shurui went to abroad, we are going to invite a gentleman from abroad, or it can be a student who has studied abroad, these people, with a skill in the future, can open a medical center, a factory, and do business. "Ziqing wants to run the first university in the name of Yanran, and after that, with the first one, there should be a second one.
"This is a good idea, in this way, Yanran's reputation will naturally go up, it is estimated that the emperor is not sure about the candidate for the next prince, he is just waiting and seeing, who can win the hearts and minds of the people." Zixi said.
Not to mention that Ziqing was discussing these in the study, Yan Ran was also lying on the kang table at this moment, settling accounts and drawing, the architectural pattern of this women's school, the items that need to be purchased, who to send to be responsible for recruiting people, and the approximate cost required, just calculating, Li Yi came in.
"What does my sister do?"
Yanran handed the notebook to Li Yi, Li Yi glanced at it, and said: "I am responsible for this recruitment, send an official letter to the county magistrates, some of the poor families in the county want to sell their daughters, they need to know that this child does not need to sign a deed of sale, Bai Xuege will have money to earn in a few years, who doesn't want to?" ”
"Well, my brother's idea is good, so I'll follow my brother's." Yanran also made trouble.
"Sir, have you found it?"
"Almost, the women's nursing and delivery of the mother and I first gave them lessons, spinning, invited a master from Songjiang Prefecture, embroidery is better to find 1. When will my brother be able to build a yarn factory? Why don't we buy some land ourselves and hire someone to grow cotton? ”
Li Yi thought for a while and said, "Okay, I'll send someone to take charge of this matter." What else? ”
"I want to buy a few more Zhuangzi and take in some homeless lonely old people, just like my father and mother did, in the future, we can also pick out people from Zhuangzi, it is more appropriate than buying them from outside."
"This, okay, as long as I hear that there is a Zhuangzi for sale, I will buy it, but when it comes to Zhuangzi, why don't we buy the barren mountains near my father and mother, and we can also build our own manor, what do you say?"
Yanran thought for a while and said, "It's also successful, it's not easy to meet a ready-made Zhuangzi, so it's okay to build one yourself." ”
So, Li Yi also lay on the kang table, accompanying Yanran to list what things needed to be done recently, and the two were busy, Ziqing walked in.
"Mother, it's just right that you're here, you can take a look for us, is there anything missing?"
Ziqing took the paper in their hands, looked at it, and said, "These, let's keep them for you to do after you get married, you still have to think about what is missing when you get married?" ”
"Mother, people are talking to you about business." Yanran blushed.
"Isn't what my mother said about getting down to business?"
"Mother, when will grandma and her old man come back?" Li Yi asked suddenly.
"It's not clear yet, it should be April, and the wedding date is still set for May." Ziqing said.
"Mother, I'll go back and discuss this with my father, it should be okay."
"By the way, your women's school and medical hall were set up earlier, and my mother gave you money, and in your name, I also built a university, and invited Mr. from the West to come over, so that in the future, our students will not have to go so far if they want to learn Western knowledge1." Ziqing told her plan.
"Thank you for this good idea, these days, I am also thinking about this, I have the silver in my hand, just ask my mother to give me a few more ideas when the time comes, I and Yan'er are young after all, and I hope that my mother will always remind me." Li Yi bowed to Ziqing and made a big salute.
Two hours later, in the upper study, Li Yi reported all these plans to Li Han, and Li Han read twice, "Build your own university, please Mr. Western." Then he asked, "Is this a good idea, she said in your name?" ”
"Well, as my aunt said, she paid for the money and ran the university in the name of me and Yanran, my sister and I are the largest shareholders, and the rest of the Lin family and the Zeng family are all minority shareholders. After waiting for a few years, I went to look for a place, and my aunt wanted to build the university outside the city, and there was no such a big place in the city. If it is built outside the city, it is equivalent to a small town, and it can also support a group of people, and it can be counted in one fell swoop. ”
"It seems that she is trying to make a move. I'd like to see what other surprises she has for me. Li Han said in his heart.
Running a school, building a factory, building a medical center, and charity are carried out at the same time, the Lin family and the Zeng family are afraid that it is a hot topic in the capital for a while, and it seems that the girl of the Lin family also has the demeanor of her mother.
Because of these major events, the Lin family and the Zeng family have not had a good birth for many years, just after the first month, first of all, Li Yi bought a thousand acres of barren mountains next to Kang Yuan, handed them over to his subordinates to hire people to take care of, and took some beggars in the city to stay in the mountains and do some manual work within their ability.
Secondly, the construction of Yanran's women's school started, and the affairs of the medical hall were handed over to Old Man Li and Mrs. Li to be responsible, Ziqing only then knew that this Mrs. Li was still a master of gynecology, no wonder Old Man Li said that day that Yanran still had a day to use her.
This Mrs. Li and Yanran teamed up to teach these girls some gynecological nursing knowledge and midwifery skills, and went directly to work in the hospital after learning.
Ziqing's university town, Lin Kangping is also optimistic about the place, just outside the north gate of a watered wasteland, because it is done in the name of Li Yi and Yanran, Ziqing asked Li Yi's opinion, knowing that Li Yi's character is Lide, this university is called Lide University.
