Before sunset on this day, Ling Chaofeng sent the food to the third floor, accompanied Xiaowan and Pei'er to eat together, and talked about the guests downstairs, Xiaowan asked: "When you go out at this season, do you want to rush home, or go out for a stroll." If you go out for a stroll, why don't you go home for the Chinese New Year? ”

Ling Chaofeng said lightly: "There are also people who are not happy to stay at home during the New Year, so as to avoid the sending of relatives and friends, and go outside to have a clean and leisurely life." ”

"That's true, if you have a lot of relatives in the family, you really can't cope with it." Xiaowan said as she dismantled the meat on the ribs for Pei'er to eat, and was reproached by her husband, "You asked him to eat it himself, it's so big." ”

Xiaowan smiled and said, "You are jealous, then I will also dismantle the meat for you to eat?" ”

Seeing Pei'er eating meat triumphantly, Ling Chaofeng shook his head: "You just spoil it." ”

"Mother also spoils Daddy." Pei'er said, "Before Daddy goes to bed, my mother uses the soup woman to warm the quilt for Daddy. ”

He asked his son, "What about us?" What can Pei'er do for her mother? ”

Pei'er was stunned, Xiaowan put the peeled shrimp into her son's bowl, and said with a smile: "Pei'er eats well, and my mother will be happy." ”

The little guy hurriedly got up: "I'll eat well." ”

Ling Chaofeng stretched out his hand and gently tapped on his forehead, Xiao Wan hurriedly rubbed it, glared at Xianggong and said: "From now on, children are not allowed to be taught at the dinner table, I don't care when I get off the dinner table, I am only allowed to eat well on the dinner table." ”

Pei'er was also well-behaved, and hurriedly said to her father: "Daddy, I remember the truth that my mother taught me, Pei'er is very well-behaved." ”

Ling Chaofeng asked, "What did my mother teach you?" ”

Pei'er replied without thinking: "Boys can't bully girls, I can't bully Yaya's sister." ”

Xiaowan listened, proudly continued to peel shrimp for her son, and wanted to say something to her husband, but when she saw that his eyes were slightly dark, she asked softly: "Are you not happy about what your son said?" ”

"Why, he's so well-behaved." Ling Chaofeng said, giving a large piece of meat to his son and said, "You have to remember it well, and you must do what you say when you grow up." ”

Xiaowan felt that her husband seemed to have something on her mind, so she didn't mention it again at the dinner table, so she thought that it would not be too late to ask later.

After eating, Pei'er went down to play with Uncle Biao, Ling Chaofeng wrote a letter at the table, Xiaowan took Ji'er around the house and circled around the house, and suddenly heard the laughter downstairs, and then someone went downstairs with heavy footsteps.

"These guests are really noisy." Xiaowan said, "That boy looks well-dressed, and the people under him look like gangsters in the market." ”

Ling Chaofeng disagreed, put away the letter and prepared to send it tomorrow, walked over and picked up Fei'er from the cradle, and the couple teased the child together, talking about the queen's mother urging the squires of the yamen in various places to prepare for the establishment of a women's school.

Nowadays, the imperial court has funded and led the way to encourage the local gentry to donate money to build a school, and every family can send school-age girls to the school to read and write without spending money.

The women's school in Baisha County is preparing, and it is estimated that when the spring of the next year begins, the class will be officially opened, and the Lingxiao Inn has donated two hundred taels of silver for this, and the county master is very grateful.

"The school is for girls from poor families to go to school, and the queen's original intention may be to hope that the private schools in various places can accept students regardless of gender, but the local customs are different, and some seven-year-olds have different seats and other rules." Ling Chaofeng said, "That's why a girls' school is specially opened, only for girls to study." ”

Xiaowan sighed: "Niangniang is so good, everything is for the sake of the world." ”

But Ling Chaofeng said: "This matter is good in our Baisha County, other places are not smooth, a squire is not willing to pay, this naturally can't force people, and then there are local customs, many places, girls are not allowed to read and study." ”

Xiaowan said: "I heard from the people in the village that my mother is literate, and often helps people write letters of faith, if my mother is alive, I will definitely study." However, in the past, the Xu family did not let Wen Juan study, saying that he spent money in vain. ”

Ling Chaofeng said: "Those who don't let women read and write are afraid that the women's family will not be tamed if they read the book and understand the reason, they don't treat women as human beings, and they demand that the women's family be obedient and obedient like animals." ”

Xiaowan looked serious: "Xianggong, in the future, our Fei'er must study with her brothers, be an assertive and knowledgeable girl, don't be like me who doesn't understand anything." ”

Ling Chaofeng said with relief: "Wanwan, you are already amazing. ”

At this time, Fei'er cried in her father's arms, and Xiaowan smiled: "Little girl, do you know that you will study as hard as your brothers in the future, are you not happy?" If you don't want to, you won't succeed, if you don't study well in the future, your mother will spank you. ”

While speaking, he put down his son and came to feed his daughter and change diapers, Ling Chaofeng sent the replaced diapers downstairs, and took Pei'er upstairs to sleep by the way, just walked upstairs, a few people who went out just now came back, a pungent aroma came, and three or four women with flowers and branches giggled and stood in front of the door with them.

The peers thought that the old mother was cautious, and blessed Ling Chaofeng: "Shopkeeper Ling, these masters bought the girls' clocks, and they want to spend the night here, we know that the rules of Lingxiao Inn are big, if you don't agree, please also talk to these masters, we open the door to do business, we can't offend the guests." ”

In the cloud tent room, the man with a clear face walked out, looked at the woman downstairs with a frown, pointed to one of the women in yellow shirts, and hooked his fingers.

These girls have seen countless men, and naturally know what the people upstairs want her to do, she twisted her wicker-like waist and walked towards the door, looking up and seeing Ling Chaofeng's eyes, she was frightened.

Pei'er had already gone upstairs, Xiaowan heard the movement and came out to look, just picking up her son, but because of this, the man on the second floor saw the beauty on the third floor.

If you say that Su Su is seen during the day, she is a beautiful and lovely village woman, and when she sees Xiaowan at this moment, the man is already looking straight.

Unexpectedly, in this inn in the wilderness, there was such a person like a pearl and jade, and he forgot about the yellow-shirted prostitute for a while, and stepped forward, wanting to take a closer look at Xiaowan.

But Xiao Wan had already turned around and returned to the room with Pei'er, and he didn't see the scene here at all, and Ling Chaofeng downstairs glared at him like a torch, holding back the anger in his heart.

"I haven't heard that the inn is still in charge of this idle matter, if you want to add money, our uncle will naturally have a lot of yours." The servant looked vicious and swaggered, "You'd better be polite, but it's just to invite a few flower girls and not hinder you." ”

Lingxiao Inn never allows guests to recruit Ji, and naturally similar things rarely happen, Uncle Biao and Aunt Zhang came out of the back kitchen, both with tense faces and a look of refusal.

However, they don't think they are dirty, there are a lot of dead people in the house of this inn, how can they dislike a few women, but the inn is not a flower building, not a place for men to love, there is no such rule.

The old mother of Wanhualou also knew the status of Lingxiao Inn in Baisha County, but they opened the door to do business and couldn't offend the guests, so they smartly pushed things to the inn and let those people go to Ling Chaofeng.

"Let's go!" Unexpectedly, when the two sides were deadlocked, the man upstairs spoke, "Vulgar powder, it looks disgusting." ”

When he saw Xiaowan, he never forgot how to put a few grease-smeared and powdered girls in his eyes, and he was not interested for a while, so he thought about how to kiss Xiaowan Fangze. But he is not stupid, most of them already understand that the little lady upstairs is the wife of the innkeeper.

Those few domestic servants let a few flower girls go, and the old mother knew that Lingxiao Inn was not easy to mess with, so she didn't want to make trouble, so she immediately left with her own girl.

They scolded and went upstairs, and after waiting for their son-in-law to rest, they went back to their house in disappointment.

Ling Chaofeng closed the door of the shop, extinguished the lights downstairs, and walked up step by step with a candlestick, but saw the door of the room at the far end of the north squeak shut.

The scene outside just now, the man who came later must have seen it in his eyes, what would he think?

Ling Chaofeng's heart sank, and he, how should he choose?

Back in the room, Xiaowan asked what was going on, and heard that the guest had brought the flower girl from Wanhualou, and sighed, but Ling Chaofeng saw that Pei'er and they were all asleep, so he said to Xiaowan: "Early tomorrow morning, I will ask Uncle Biao to send you to Baisha Village, and you will stay at Susu's house for a few days." ”

Xiaowan smiled: "Are you afraid that they will bully me?" ”

Ling Chaofeng shook his head: "I'm afraid it's in the store, and someone will die." ”

Xiaowan's heart tightened: "How do you say this?" ”

Ling Chaofeng sighed softly: "It's still what I heard about when I went to a neighboring state to look for him in the days when Pei'er disappeared. ”
