Chapter 170: Could it be the concubine prepared by the Xie family?
After Li Zheng returned, he discussed with the elders of the clan, and finally chose an auspicious day to start building a private school.
On this day, Li Zheng summoned all the families in the village to the open space outside the ancestral hall and loudly announced that he was going to build a private school.
There was a sudden uproar in the crowd, and almost all of them had smiles on their faces, and this great event was finally about to land!
That's a dignified master! Their village has a private school opened by Master Jinshi, and there may be a few more promising children in the future!
Li Zheng let everyone be happy for a while before he spoke again: "Master Xie's character and knowledge, everyone must know it, he is willing to open a private school, that is a great blessing for the whole village in our village!"
Everyone catered to each other, and good words poured out as if they didn't want money, even if no one from the Xie family was present today, they couldn't resist everyone's enthusiasm.
Li was waiting for the big guys to finish the excitement, and said, "This time the construction of a private school is a big event, everyone has the money to contribute, and the strength to contribute."
As soon as these words came out, the originally noisy atmosphere suddenly cooled down a lot, and it was easy to say that it was easy to contribute, but it was necessary to produce silver, so it would be ......
Li Zheng also knew in his heart, he looked around, and said earnestly: "I know that everyone is not having a good time this year, and the clan does not require everyone to give much, but how much must be expressed, more and less is always a mind, and if it is not enough, the clan will make up for it."
Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
If it had been left in the past, it would not have been impossible for each family to pay a little money.
But this year is different, the imperial court is fighting, and there are conscriptions, almost every household has to prepare twenty taels of silver to deduct, in addition, they have to stock up on more food to feel at ease.
With such a toss, no one dares to say that they still have plenty of money.
Li Zheng actually understood that the elders of the clan had already expected it, so he just let everyone watch it by themselves.
"Three days later is the auspicious day for the elders to start construction, and those who have the strength and strength to help come and talk to me in the next two days, and it is easy to arrange for them to go back."
"If we build a private school as soon as possible, we can let the children go to school as soon as possible, right?"
"Yes!"
After saying this, Li Zheng left the family of the silkworm seed at home.
In the past two days, the weather has become warmer, and many people's silkworm eggs have hatched ants.
Li Zheng found a carpenter to make tools according to the drawings given by Xie Zi'an last time, and after two days, he felt that he was very handy, so he planned to take this opportunity to talk to the big guys.
It's their business whether they use it or not, but if there is such a good thing, it is better for everyone to know about it.
Li Zheng didn't take credit for the ink, and told him where the tools came from.
It was only when Chen and Liu learned that the Xie family was raising silkworms with different tools than them.
The two didn't think much about it, after all, Siya had already taught her the method of incubating silkworms in advance, many days earlier than others!
But I can't stop some people from feeling sour in their hearts and making irresponsible remarks.
"Tsk, these four girls' mouths are really tight, and they don't even miss their own mother's family!"
"If it weren't for the Gu family, the Xie family would value her so much?"
"If you don't value it, how do we know through those walls?"
"That's not what I said, the kid of the Xie family takes her with him wherever he goes, and the relationship between the two is good!"
"Isn't that to see Siya's appearance and good birth?"
"Speaking of appearance, I saw a masked old woman enter the Xie family with two twin girls who are better looking than the fourth girl a few days ago!"
Chen's heart jumped not far away, and he subconsciously pricked up his ears.
"And what's going on?"
"I saw it just now!"
"You saw that too?"
"Yes, a white-haired old woman with two girls. I didn't see the face, but I thought it was beautiful when I looked at it!"
"Yes, yes! The old masked woman has gray hair."
"Huh! Could it be the concubine that the Xie family prepared for the Xie family's boy?"
"Wouldn't it?"
"How not? Those rich people, who don't keep a concubine or something."
"Maybe it's the daughter-in-law of the Xie family who gave them the second child?"
"Absolutely not! Those two girls look bigger than the four girls. Besides, who looks at their daughter-in-law will find two identical ones at the same time! Is it possible that two of them will marry at the same time?"
"Tsk, I'm afraid Siya's life is really difficult!"
"You may not have said a word!" Someone couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Siya is now the daughter-in-law of the old man's family, and she is still the eldest daughter-in-law!" No matter how bad it is, it won't be your turn to chew on the root of your tongue!"
"That's it! You're afraid you didn't hear it, did you? The long-term workers invited by the Xie family are all called the young lady Siya in a proper manner!"
"Go back and let Siya know, if you sue Master Xie, maybe there will be no place for your child in the private school!"
The woman who spoke earlier was suddenly a little panicked: "But that's what you say, what should you be serious!"
"Siya is not here, who are you looking like a calf protector for?"
"You didn't orchestrate her at the beginning, but now you know that you're in a hurry to please!"
Several people gossiped, but Chen fell into deep thought.
Qi Lele didn't know that she had become the center of the conversation, and she was waiting to see the newcomer.
Li Zheng also sent someone to Xie's house to invite them early in the morning.
But after learning the main content of today's collective meeting, Qi Lele could almost imagine that they were present, and they must have been surrounded by the whole village to praise them.
The picture was so beautiful, Qi Lele didn't dare to think about it, and decisively shook his head to refuse, Xie Zi'an saw this, and seemed to guess something, so he found an excuse to push Li Zheng's invitation.
There are six people who came here today, four of them are middle-aged men, looking like they are strong, and they should be good at doing things.
The other two are a pair of brothers, and they don't look very old, so they should be in their early teens.
The appearance is white, Svenwen, and he should not be doing manual work.
After Xie Zi'an introduced the six people, Qi Le said happily that sure enough, the four middle-aged men were all good at animal husbandry, and they happened to be placed in the house on the other side of the livestock shed.
As for the two brothers, they presented two objects of their own making.
Qi Lele looked over curiously, and after seeing what was inside, he couldn't help but be shocked.
When I looked up at the two of them again, their eyes became different.
