Chapter 175: Building the Ci'an Church
Li Yan drank two sips of pear juice, took a deep look at Mrs. Zhou, and felt that it was time for her stepmother to see her Wanguan family property.
Otherwise, even if she took hundreds of thousands of taels out every month, her stepmother would not admit that she had money.
On the contrary, she will think that she is picking on her life, and think that the money donated to the county government is saved from her fingers.
"Stepmother, one side of the water and soil raises one person, I was born and raised in Hejun, so I naturally want to work hard for Hejun, and I donate these silvers, in fact, they are all for myself."
That being said, but there are few people in the world who can do this as a righteous daughter, and these silver pieces are also for Zhou Bi's career, how can Mrs. Zhou not understand the hard work of the righteous daughter.
Li Yan saw through her thoughts, and her expression was complicated, "Stepmother, don't worry that I don't have any money, I will confess to you, I am really poor and only have silver left." ”
Mrs. Zhou was amused by her, "You know how to coax me with your little mouth." ”
Seeing that she still didn't believe it, Li Yan stuffed the silver ticket directly into her hand, took her hand and was about to leave, "I'll take my stepmother to see my family's wealth, so that my stepmother always says that I coax you, and when you see it, you should understand the meaning of my words." “
It's really not good if you don't move the real thing!
Mrs. Zhou was half-dragged and half-pulled by Li Yan like this, and she didn't even finish drinking the pear juice she ordered, so she returned to the Xiangyao Hall.
waited until he entered the private treasury and saw the Wanguan family wealth that Li Yan said.
Mrs. Zhou's eyes widened and she couldn't speak for a long time.
This room is full of rare books, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and countless exquisite silks.
With so much wealth, the righteous daughter can't spend it in a few lifetimes.
Under Mrs. Zhou's shocked gaze, Li Yan opened a few fur boxes in the back arm cabinet, tiger skins, sheepskins, wolf skins, and fox skins, dizzying.
Immediately, boxes of jewelry were opened again, and the gold, stone and jade illuminated Mrs. Zhou's eyes.
Mrs. Zhou looked at her dumbfounded, and only then did she truly understand the profound meaning of what the righteous daughter said was poor and only silver.
The girl chuckled lightly and said, "Don't be frightened by these furs, these are just the most insignificant of the daughter's property. ”
Li Yan put the lid on the box and whispered in her ear, "In order to keep a low profile, my daughter still secretly has a lot of private goods, and those are the daughter's life-saving capital." ”
So much wealth is not enough, how much wealth is hidden by the righteous girl.
The shock was not enough to describe Mrs. Zhou's mood at this moment, and her face was only numb.
Li Yan invited Mrs. Zhou to the side hall to suppress the shock, and after a long time, Mrs. Zhou came to her senses, "These are the wealth accumulated by the divine doctor for half a lifetime, is it so profitable to practice medicine?" Then why do you get up early and work so hard in the dark? ”
I have a family property that I can't spend for several lifetimes, isn't it good to lie flat?
Li Yan took a sip of flower tea and explained slowly, "It is also Doctor Cai, who has excellent medical skills, can accumulate such wealth, and others will never be able to." However, the objects left by Dr. Cai will be kept for later use. ”
The girl looked at Mrs. Zhou with clear eyes, "The silver I donated to the yamen is all earned by myself." As for the early morning in the dark, it's purely my own hobby, not to earn those copper plates. Although my stepmother is relieved, I promised my stepmother not to stay up late again, and I will definitely do it later. ”
Mrs. Zhou was completely relieved, and thought of the hundreds of taels of silver tickets that she had forced into her stepmother before, and she was immediately ashamed.
Hey, I don't know what the righteous girl felt in her heart at that time, shame.
"In this case, the 200,000 silver ticket will be accepted by the stepmother."
Mrs. Zhou also talked about Zhou Bi's arrangement, "Your father-in-law intends to set up a Ci'an Hall in Hejun to take in orphans who have no father or mother, and this silver will be spent on it." Then I will ask a few more teachers to teach the children, Yan'er, what do you think? ”
Li Yan said with a smile, "Yan'er thinks this move is very good, or her father-in-law has a thoughtful idea." ”
Li Yan has long had such thoughts in her heart, and now Zhou Bi has this thought, which is in line with her mind.
She is currently short of manpower, and if she builds a Tzu An Church, these children can be cultivated by herself.
You can also choose an opportunity to pick a few top-notch ones from these people and use them for her use.
"If the silver taels are not enough, the stepmother just needs to open her mouth, and I have the back, so that the stepfather can only do it boldly with confidence."
The mother and daughter gossiped again, and Mrs. Zhou remembered the old lady at home, and went back without lunch.
In the evening, Zhou Bi went down, and Mrs. Zhou handed over the 200,000 taels of silver tickets to Zhou Bi, and Zhou Bi looked at her in surprise.
Mrs. Zhou told him about the conversation with her righteous daughter, "Although Doctor Cai is indifferent to Yan'er, he still left her a family property, which can ensure that she has no worries about food and clothing for the rest of her life." ”
Mrs. Zhou sighed, "You said that how can a mother be indifferent to her children." ”
"And this silver ticket?"
"This silver ticket Yan'er lets you run Ci'an Hall, if it's not enough, she still has it, let you rest assured and do it boldly, enough to support you."
Zhou Bi had a lot of eyes, and after a little thought, he said, "I'm still busy with winter planting here, and there are a lot of troublesome things in the yamen." Tzu An Tang is a small child, and it is necessary to be more patient and careful with them, and it is not appropriate for me to come forward. I can ask someone to build the house of Tzu An Church first, and leave the rest to you two to handle, I don't know what Madame wants?"
Seeing that he was reasonable, Mrs. Zhou thought about it and said, "I'll ask Yan'er what she means again, and if she agrees, I'll do it." ”
Zhou Bi thinks it's okay.
On the second day, Mrs. Zhou came to Li Yan, Li Yan was not surprised at all, the mother and daughter discussed some details, and Mrs. Zhou hurried back and began to deal with the matter.
Zhou Bi called the craftsman, chose a piece of feng shui treasure, and ordered people to do it in a hurry.
In the market, rumors continued, "Have you heard?" Miss Li and Mrs. Commander of the county are going to establish Ci'an Hall to take in orphans. ”
"Really? Is there such a good thing? ”
"Miss Li can still have a leave to do things, and the county magistrates have called craftsmen, and they are working day and night to build a house."
"There is a notice posted in the yamen to openly recruit teachers, and I heard that if Miss Li is free at that time, she will also go to Ci'an Hall to attend classes, and many people have signed up."
"I'm going too, I'm going too, I can see Miss Li's teachings, I'm lucky to wait for three lives."
"Then you have to sign up quickly, there is no crowd at the entrance of the yamen."
The news that Li Yan and the county magistrate's wife were going to establish Ci'an Hall, and the news of taking in orphans also spread among the people.
The registration point is located in the county government affairs department, and there is an endless stream of people who come to register.
However, the registration forms collected by Zhang San and Li Si in the middle of the day were thicker than the official documents stacked in the yamen.
Fortunately, Ms. Li had the foresight to limit the registration date to three days.
Otherwise, judging from the enthusiasm of the people, Li Si felt that someone would come to the door for a year and a half.
Because of the recruitment of talents here, the notice is written clearly, and there is no restriction on age, education and origin.
But if you have a skill, even if you are illiterate, as long as you pass the interview, Ci'an Tang will accept it.
