"Basically, the way I think of making money requires the Qi family and our Hu family to jointly fund, and my mother needs to work hard." Ruchu thought about it and said, "When the time comes, when you make money, you can just distribute dividends according to the proportion of capital contribution, and the Qi family will not take advantage of it at all, and it will be above board." ”

"So what do you do for a living?" Mrs. Qi said, "Although I am old, my body is still strong, and I am not afraid of hard work." But as I said before, I can't ask for a lot of money, and I can't touch a cent of the money I have saved now. ”

Speaking so bluntly to Mrs. Qi, Ruchu couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile, "Mother, the part of the Qi family's money doesn't need real money. I took a fancy to the empty wing room in our backyard. Let's estimate it at the market price to see how much silver can be discounted if we rent it out, and use this amount as a fund. ”

"What the hell are you going to do? You can't rent to outsiders. Although the Qi family is poor, this bit of dignity of the officials and dependents still has to be preserved. Mrs. Qi was confused by the mysterious smile of the first god.

"We don't recruit tenants, so we can make a few bucks. I want to ...... Run a 'female' school. "Say what you think.

This idea came from her experience in Tianjin Weixue; also comes from the fact that she was a "talent" who graduated from a normal school before she crossed over; It also comes from a truth: running education is the most profitable, and the cost is not large.

"Running a school?!" Mrs. Qi was shocked by Ruchu's idea, and was stunned for a while before saying, "As always, we are 'female' sons, and we have no fame on our bodies, even if we are talented and high, we can't be Mr. Even if you want to be, it's strange that someone will send the children of the family. ”

"Oh, Mother, we don't teach men, only 'women'. And he doesn't teach poetry, only cooking and 'female' red and 'female' morality. Ruchu explained, "I usually listen to you and Ruyi talking, and I also know that after marrying a wife, you must be a good housekeeper, a 'fine' cook, a 'female' celebrity, a well-known scholar, a filial piety to your in-laws, and a love for your younger generations." Ask yourself, these good qualities, I am only good at cooking, and everything else is worse. I am so, and I believe that many of the ladies and small families are the same. In this case, it is impossible for a parent not to worry, just as it is a truth that you are worried about wishful thinking. Therefore, I thought, if we set up a school and teach the 'daughters' some things in this regard, for the unmarried 'daughters', they can be well received in the in-laws' family, and for the married 'daughters', it can make the family more harmonious, wouldn't it be good? ”

Her idea was really ahead of her time for the Ming Dynasty, so although Mrs. Qi listened to it with itching, she was skeptical, "Is this okay?" ”

"What's not to do." "First, the country is composed of countless families, and those who are wives and mothers take care of the family well, which will make the family more harmonious, so that the men can be loyal to the country without worries, and in this regard, we are also contributing to the imperial court." Second, if the mother takes the lead in doing this, people will say that Lord Qi's mother taught the 'daughters' to work hard to run the family, and in the future, the knowledgeable 'daughters' will take you as a model, not to mention that it is good for Yuan Jing's official career, even if it is an official reputation, it will be greatly improved. These three come, let's charge some fees, and we can also subsidize the family. You see, it's a triple win. ”

"It's a good thing, but the cashier ......"

"This is a matter of course, looking for a gentleman to bundle up the silver, which gentleman do you see embarrassed to collect money? Besides, if we recruit more people and charge less, how can we not afford to pay? Also, don't you need materials to learn 'female' red and cooking? Let's put it aside if we make money or not, we can't lose money, right? Moreover, if there are many 'women' in the school, the materials needed to learn the art can be ordered for a long time with some honest and credible merchants, and the wholesale price is always lower than the retail price. Let me tell you, it will definitely make money. The important thing is that although we are 'women', we have also contributed to the stability of the imperial court, and we can also help many people, what a good thing! ”

As at the beginning, Mrs. Qi's mind moved. However, after all, she is a traditional 'woman' and 'woman' in feudal society, and her original idea was still a bit shocking, she did not agree on the spot, but thought about it for two days. Just when she thought that Mrs. Qi had rejected this suggestion and was very disappointed, Mrs. Qi gritted her teeth and responded to the matter.

In ancient times, house prices and land prices were cheap! The east and west wings in the backyard of Qifu are very large, but they are converted to one year, and the rent is not much silver. But in order to attract people to study, Mrs. Qi was allowed to take a stake in technology. You must know that although the Qi family is poor, it goes without saying that Luqiao Town is also very famous in the entire Jining Prefecture. In particular, Qi Jingtong is upright and honest, has a strict family style, Mrs. Qi's reputation is famous, and the children and daughters she raises are all 'colorful'. Needless to say, Qi Jiguang is a young hero, Qi Jimei and Qi Ruyi are also praised by everyone, and the person who proposed the marriage has already broken through the 'door' threshold, but because Mrs. Qi has not found a satisfactory one, it has been delayed.

Then he took out ten taels of silver at the beginning and purchased some furniture and embroidery and cooking materials that must be used in school, which was half of the contribution of the Qi family and the Hu family. As for the curriculum, there are four 'doors' of cooking, 'female' red, 'female' morality, and fitness.

Naturally, she taught cooking herself, and she also prepared a detailed lesson plan for this purpose. And the so-called fitness is to learn some basic martial arts, so as not to encounter domestic violence when marrying in the future. Originally, Mrs. Qi was opposed to this 'door' course, but Mrs. Qi felt that Qi Ruyi should learn and make the 'door' tiger 'woman', so she set it up.

'Female' virtue, of course, is taught by Mrs. Qi. In fact, it is mainly about the 'female' training that has been handed down from ancient times. Those who are illiterate will be taught by Mrs. Qi to learn to read. In fact, the people who can enter the 'women' are all eunuchs or girls from rich families, and there are many ladies who come to join in the fun, most of whom know how to read.

As for the 'female' red, it will be the red feather and the green feather. What Ling Ruchu didn't expect was that these two girls had very skillful hands, and the name of "female" was famous, and many wealthy families hired "female" children, and they all asked them to help make embroidery. However, Mrs. Qi is pedantic and has always refused to start this business. Now that I have discovered the treasure at the beginning, I plan to 'get' an embroidery workshop, find some local poor people's 'daughters' to train, and undertake some embroidery business, which can make money by myself and help the poor, of course, this is a later story.

Everything is ready, and the admissions problem is not a problem at all. just released Mrs. Qi's name, took a few embroideries of Red Feather and Cui Yu, and made a few tables of banquets as before, and invited a few local and Jining Prefecture official wives and rich ladies to taste it.

Who doesn't want their 'daughter' to be praised at their in-laws'? Who doesn't want their daughter-in-law to be capable? Who doesn't want to tie her husband's heart!

Therefore, no matter where they go, the 'female' person has the best money, and running an education is also the fastest way to make a living. The first batch of "female" students was only enrolled, and there were 30 people who signed up, each person paid three taels of silver, for a period of one month, and the cost of materials was calculated separately.

These people don't care about money at all, if it weren't for Mrs. Qi's obstruction, they would have asked for ten taels of registration fees. But just like this, the living environment of the Qi family has changed greatly, it is like a shotgun changing a gun.

Because of the relationship as before, the always lifeless Qi Mansion became vibrant, Mrs. Qi was worried at first, but when she taught a group of 'women' the virtues of 'women', her self-esteem and her own value were fully satisfied, and then she saw the silver of the white 'flowers' and 'flowers', and her attitude towards the beginning of the 180-degree turn came, so that the beginning of the daughter-in-law from an unpopular daughter-in-law to a good daughter-in-law 'woman' comparable to a 'daughter', and the entire Qi family also sincerely accepted her.

At the beginning, I thought that making a good family relationship was a difficult and long-term process, but I didn't expect that as long as everyone worked together and did one thing together, they would soon be able to integrate together and become a real family.
