Chapter 572: Little Dreams Are Dreams
"The old woman has never studied, and she doesn't know a single big character, but she is better than living a long time. Originally, you wanted to be an official, open a women's school, and toss and toss, but I was very unhappy. How much money does it cost to open a girl's education, why don't you pay your own dowry money to open it? β
"Although my He family has money, but the money is not blown by the wind, when Ah Yi was young, he bought a piece of candy, and it was all the children of the whole family, and he licked it alone. Isn't the current money all earned by Erlang and Ah Qiao? β
"The old woman doesn't care at all about the little lady she doesn't know, whether she can be an official or not. If they want to be officials, they will rely on their own family members and earn a bright future by going through their own bloody roads. If you can't do this thing well, it's better to lie down at home and let the maid feed the fruit and fan the fan. β
"Take our family's money and pave the way for others? Do you think the He family is all Guanyin Bodhisattvas in the temple? β
"Ah Qiao also opened a Tiandao Academy with King Wei, but she didn't take a copper from the He family. At the beginning, it was earned from her cloth village, or donated by the ladies, and later the Heavenly Dao Academy was able to make money by itself. β
Lu Yan's face turned pale, she was indeed for the purpose of opening a women's school before, and wanted the He family to come up with some silver, she had a Zhuangzi to marry, which could be used to run a school, but the silver was not so sufficient.
But He Zhili opened the account book and took the silver out to her, and Grandma He didn't speak, and then the women's school didn't open, so she returned the silver again.
Grandma He was already angry, and said like pouring beans, "But Ah Yi came to look for me, and he said that you are only eight years old, and you especially want to do this." So the old woman thought that you were young and not easy, so she didn't say a word. But have you ever thought about how others think of my He family if you go around preaching that women want to be officials? β
Lu Yan's mouth opened and said, "But ......"
Grandma He wiped her sweat, "But you are outside, and no one laughs at you, saying that you are not doing well, right?" What do you think of your sister-in-law's learning? β
Yan Zhaoling was stunned, grandma, don't burn the fire on me!
Lu Yan thought for a while, "Don't lose to the eldest brother." β
Yan Zhaoling's knowledge is not only not inferior to He Zhishu, but it is simply too much.
He Zhishu is a person who has no talent, but Yan Zhaoling is extremely talented, and she comes from a scholarly family, if she takes the imperial examination, she will not fail the examination.
"That's it, Ah Yan, you may be very smart, but you are not the only smart person in the world! When you go out, you don't represent yourself, but the entire He family, and even Ah Qiao. When you say that, others may not agree, but they won't scold you to your face, that's because they think this may be what Ah Qiao meant! β
Lu Yan's eyes turned red.
Grandma He shook her head, "Our He family has four people who have graduated from the imperial examination, and the old woman doesn't know whether they are good at learning." But take your father-in-law as an example, he was born in the countryside and studied while herding cattle, how well can he learn? When I took the exam, I took the exam many times, but I didn't pass the exam, but he was a good official, and when we came out of Yuezhou, the people saw him off with tears. Do you know why? β
Lu Yan was stunned and shook her head.
Grandma He sighed, "According to the old woman, the most important thing for this official is not knowledge, but to be able to do things for the people, the key is to have a clear head." The county lord of Guide just coaxed you, why didn't you jump up and scold her, your sister-in-law wanted to send her to see the official, and you couldn't bear it. β
"Then when you become an official in the future, when you try the case, how you judge it depends on whether that person is pitiful or not, and whether he has kindness to you? Then the old woman has to say to you now, let the poor people go! Don't clean up the unjust case, let the bad guys kill the good guys. β
Lu Yan was like a heavy blow, she cried, she thought, looked at Yan Zhaoling, Yan Zhaoling handed her a handkerchief, and did not speak.
Although Grandma's words are very heavy, Lu Yan is indeed a too naΓ―ve person.
People who are too naΓ―ve are often selfish to the point of cruelty, but they don't know it.
There are many champions, at least there will be a champion in Daqing every year, but not all champions can be in a high position and become a good official.
Lu Yan didn't understand this truth for a day, she could only be regarded as a scholar for a day, not a person who took a career in office.
Female studies can be opened, and women's courses can also be opened, but you need to find out where the opportunities are and then seize them to succeed.
Lu Yan rubbed her eyes.
After Grandma He finished speaking, she stood up, and her eyes were dark, and she fainted.
Yan Zhaoling hurriedly stretched out her hand to catch her, helped her down, Gao Nuo didn't say a word, and went out to find Langzhong.
Lu Yan looked at it in a daze and cried.
Yan Zhaoling arranged Grandma He properly, let Gao Nuo take care of it, and came back to see Lu Yan.
Lu Yan was still sitting on the ground, maintaining her original posture, not moving.
"I went to call San Lang back, and the brothers and sisters of the He family all have deep feelings. Explain it to him. San Lang was originally going to marry the little lady of the Shen family before, do you know that? That's all I have to say. Before I married into the He family, Ah Qiao told me that her grandmother was anxious and spoke heavily and impulsively, but when the family was poor, if there was destined to be one person who could not eat, then that person must be her grandmother. β
Lu Yan wiped her tears, "Sister-in-law, am I really stupid and did something wrong?" β
Yan Zhaoling helped Lu Yan up, "We all know that you will definitely not agree to return to the county lord." You are too young, and you have been confined to the inner house before, don't worry, use your eyes more, see how others talk and do things, and you will understand. You have a dream, and that's something to boast about. Moreover, I think this dream is actually achievable. β
"My sister-in-law is obviously very talented, why is she willing to be trapped in the inner house?"
Yan Zhaoling smiled, "Because I also have a dream, I hope that my family and I can be safe and smooth for a lifetime." Just because your dreams are big and mine is small, you can't feel that my dreams are not worth it. β
"The so-called people have their own aspirations, and that's probably it. I was originally happy to be quiet, and I didn't have the patience to go to officialdom to think of snakes, but in the He family, I felt that I could realize my dream. β
Lu Yan looked at Yan Zhaoling curiously, "What about the second sister-in-law?" β
Yan Zhaoling couldn't help laughing out loud when she thought of Gao Nuo, she blinked her eyes, "Ah Nuo's dream is probably that she doesn't have to pretend to be a noblewoman, she wants to eat and drink, and when she is critical, she will be a heroine and whip her, and someone will support her!" β
