Because of the side tasks, Mu Xiwen decided to stay in Xihe Village for a while longer, so he asked Yang Guang to take Mu Jianyong to Tai'an Mansion to prepare for the bookstore, while she stayed to coordinate the overall situation.

"Did you hear that? Miss Awen is going to build a school on the side of Zhaozhuang Village, so that the children of our four villages can go to school for free? ”

"Really? And this kind of good thing? Don't you coax me?

"Really, really! I've also heard that this school seems to have begun to be built, and my family went to help today, so I thought that the school would be repaired soon and send my post to school! ”

"Not only that, but when my concubine was chatting with Miss Awen's fourth aunt, she also found out what kind of flower factory Miss Awen was going to open in Zhaozhuang Village, and then she was going to hire us girls and mothers-in-law to work.

I heard that the monthly money is 700 wen a month. The number of places is limited, so I asked Na Luo to quietly help me reserve a place early. A woman triumphantly clipped her eyes and looked around warily for fear of being heard.

"Ah, is it really that good? Then I'll go to Roche to help me reserve a spot. Seven hundred dollars a day is not beautiful, and I heard that those masters in the city are not so generous in their money. ”

For a time the four or five women who were gathered around did not wash their clothes, but took up the basin and hurried to the house.

Under Mu Xiwen's intentional publicity, soon the four villages knew that Mu Xiwen was going to build a school and wanted to hire women to work in the factory. All the villagers who heard the news were boiling.

At this time, it was the agricultural slack, and every family sent two or three men to help go to the school. From time to time, women also come over to help out and watch the excitement or something.

After knowing that the factory and dormitory building not far away were also planned to be built by Mu Xiwen, the extra people hurriedly rushed over to take over the important task of repairing the house.

With the concerted efforts of everyone, in less than half a month, the school, factory and dormitory buildings were repaired one after another.

Standing in front of the completed school, Mu Xiwen said solemnly: "Thank you for your great help during this time, and thank you for your support and trust in me Mu Xiwen all the time.

Our four villages helped each other to survive the flood and the invasion of the bandits. The sage said, 'There are difficulties and blessings are shared', and I am not an ungrateful person. Today, this 'Wanmin School' is built for the children in the village, and it is also built for thousands of ordinary people in the world.

I hope that after entering this school, all children will be able to live up to the expectations of their parents and the teachings of their masters, and grow up to be beneficial to the country. Let us work together for a better future! ”

"Good! Good! Good! ”

The scene became a sea of joy.

Countless villagers crowded and cheered, waving their hands to show the irrepressible excitement and joy in their hearts.

The poor parents hugged the child in their arms tightly, pointed at Mu Xiwen with teary eyes, and said, "Did you hear what your sister Awen said?" After entering the school, you must be well-behaved, go to school well, and don't make the master angry. ”

The childish child nodded seriously with a small face: "I heard it, I will be obedient, and I will definitely take the test like Master Wei before coming back." ”

"Hmm!" The parents pressed against the child's forehead and finally shed tears of happiness.

After all the buildings were completed, all the work was carried out in an orderly manner. The next day, the young people from the four villages, from the eighteen-year-old to the six-year-old children, were all sent to the Wanmin Academy.

The mountain chief of the school was naturally Mu Xiwen, but she had too many things to govern, so she handed over the responsibility of acting mountain chief to Mu Yue.

When Mu Yue heard this arrangement, he was also taken aback, and then he was excited and happy.

has been a "waste person" for too long, and this is the first time he feels that he is also valuable and can share the worries and problems of his family.

With so many children, Mu Yue alone is definitely not enough, Mu Xiwen went to the county to recruit a few old children, old Xiucai, and a few women who were responsible for cleaning, laundry and cooking.

The road is a little farther, but as soon as he heard the monthly money of five taels of silver per month offered by Mu Xiwen, those old boys and old Xiucai who were originally walking and shaking immediately became like flying.

In addition to the school, the makeup factory also recruited 100 women. Mu Xiwen divided them into different departments, each of which was responsible for one of the processes of developing cosmetics.

This can improve efficiency and prevent the leakage of secret recipes more effectively.

Of course, it doesn't matter if there are really people with bad intentions who figure out all the steps, because the core and most important technology is in the hands of Mu Xiwen alone.

After arranging everything, Mu Xiwen decided to retreat to develop makeup powder.

On the other hand, Wei Ziyin, who has been studying at Zhiru Academy for nearly two months, also ushered in his first "monthly exam".

After finishing school, Xu Wenlang shook his head while holding the book, "What do you think I should do in this assessment?" It's a pity that the new students have to wait at least two months before they can be promoted, otherwise I will be able to enter Class A in two months. The group of guys in Class A with eyes above the top look really terrible. ”

Beside him, Wei Ziyin's usual coldness was like frost, Tang Qinfeng just shook his head with a smile, he could only harass Su Ye, who was the most well-behaved.

"Huh?" Su Ye, who was distracted, turned around in ignorance and replied obediently: "Brother Wenlang is so powerful, he will definitely be able to enter Class A." ”

"Hee-hee." Xu Wenlang rubbed Su Ye's soft broken hair again, "Xiao Su Ye is still the most well-behaved, not like these two guys at all." ”

Su Ye turned his head a little shyly, and happened to see Liao Zhiliang standing behind a few people with a gloomy face, his pink little face turned white in an instant.

"Let's go eat." He lowered his head and pulled Xu Wenlang's sleeve and ran quickly in the direction of the dining hall.

Wei Zi turned back thoughtfully, just in time to see Liao Zhiliang's unkind gaze that did not retract.

Soon the next day, according to the custom, the next day after the monthly exam is the rest day, and the students' results will be posted on the notice board outside the Zhixing Pavilion.

Early in the morning, Xu Wenlang rushed straight to the notice board, and at this time there were already many students in that place.

Before he got closer, Xu Wenlang heard a discussion.

"Get used to it, Young Master Liao is really the top of Class A again."

"When will I be promoted to Class A? Alas—"

"Huh? The names of the top three in Class C look a little unfamiliar, could it be that they are all freshmen this year? ”

"Can't it, the top three are all covered, are this year's freshmen so powerful?"

Xu Wenlang's mouth immediately turned into a crooked smile, and he shouted repeatedly: "Let Rang, let Rang, I am also a newcomer this year, let me see who the top few are this time." ”

The melon-eating crowd dispersed, allowing Xu Wenlang to squeeze into the center.

On the white bulletin board, a bright yellow text is pasted on it. The text of the list is divided into three parts, and at the top of the C list, the word "Wei Ziyin" is written impressively.

He looked down, Tang Qinfeng ranked second, Xu Wenlang ranked third, and Su Ye's name ranked tenth.

"Why is Su Ye's test so bad? But am I really as uninked as the old man said? If you can't get the first place, why can't you get the second place? Tsk-" He touched his chin with a pensive expression, deep in his concern that he was illiterate.
