"Then why do you only teach the little girls in the village?"

Li Xianglan looked at Leng Qiuniang puzzled, she was still very confident in Leng Qiuniang's knowledge, thinking that when Leng Mansion was not raided, Mrs. and the master said that Miss had a top talent, and even the gentleman who taught the young master was full of praise for Miss, and only hated Miss for casting the wrong girl.

If Qiu Niang really plans to run a private school, wouldn't it be better to teach boys?

"It's not that I don't want to, but I can't, boys are mostly literate to take the imperial examination, who would let their son worship under a weak woman?"

Leng Qiuniang laughed at herself, even if she was full of wealth, even if she was better than those men, so what?

In the eyes of many, a woman is weaker than a man, and even if she wins over those men, she will only think that it is the man who humbles her.

After listening to Leng Qiuniang's explanation, Li Xianglan was stunned.

In fact, Qiu Niang didn't need to ask their opinions if she wanted to run a women's private school, but Qiu Niang still discussed with them, which shows that she really regards them as a family.

Li Xianglan was a little undecided, and looked at Niu Dali.

"It's not that we don't support you, it's just that it's not easy to do?"

Niu Dali can see that Leng Qiuniang loves children very much, if she is placed in the first life, Leng Qiuniang will be a good female teacher, but the so-called ideal is plump, and the reality is skinny.

"Brother-in-law, I know what you're worried about, but I don't plan to take them in for restraint, as long as the little girls in the village want to be literate, they can come over!"

Leng Qiuniang naturally knows that most rural households live in poverty, and even eating is a problem, let alone making them read and write.

"Qiu Niang, what you said is true? You really don't plan to restrain yourself?" Li Xianglan said in a daze.

Leng Qiuniang snorted lightly, and Niu Dali glanced at Leng Qiuniang with some surprise, "Even if you don't think about it, but if you want to buy books and pen and ink for reading and literacy, it costs a lot of silver." ”

"I have some silver taels on me that I can buy for the kids. Leng Qiuniang chuckled.

Niu Dali and Li Xianglan glanced at each other, Leng Qiuniang was afraid that they would not agree, so she hurriedly added: "Sister, brother-in-law, I know that I may surprise you by doing this, but I like children very much, and I am very happy to see them laughing and playing!"

Leng Qiuniang knew that she would not have any children of her own in her life, but she could watch the children laugh and play, and watch them grow up slowly, she was satisfied.

Because she was afraid that Li Xianglan would be worried, she didn't say it, and if she said it, her sister and brother-in-law would understand why she wanted to run a private school.

What's more, when she left Zuichun Building, she brought some jewelry and silver, which was enough for her to buy pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.

Li Xianglan didn't know what to say, Niu Dali shook her head, "I know that you are for the good of the child, but have you ever thought that those pen, ink, paper and inkstones are things to be used every day, even if you can help them buy them once or twice, then how many times can you help?"

Pen, ink, paper, and inkstones are all consumables, and the price is not low, otherwise ordinary people will not devote the whole family to a scholar, even if Leng Qiu Niang has a lot of silver on her, she can't help but consume.

Leng Qiuniang was asked, it wasn't that she didn't want to realize this, she just didn't want to think about it.

If you want to run a private school for a long time, it is indispensable to have the support of the silver two, some of which rely on the restraint of students, and some of which are like the private schools run by the clan, although they do not restrict the clan, but they have the support of the entire clan, not to mention that the pen, ink, paper and inkstone that the children of the clan learn are bought with their own money.

And what about her, not only did she not restrain herself, but she also planned to buy pen, ink, paper and inkstone for her child, even if she had some silver taels on her, it would be used up sooner or later, and then wouldn't it be the day when the private school would close?

"It's me who didn't think it through. ”

Leng Qiuniang's face suddenly felt a little lonely.

"Qiu Niang might as well teach a few children!" Li Xianglan couldn't bear to say.

"I see. Leng Qiuniang smiled reluctantly, "Sister, brother-in-law, then I won't disturb your rest, I'll go back first." ”

Li Xianglan wanted to say something, but when the words came to her mouth, she swallowed them back, and her eyes couldn't help but look at Niu Dali on the side.

Waiting for Leng Qiuniang to go out, Niu Dali looked at Li Xianglan, "Do you want to help Qiuniang?"

Li Xianglan's face flushed slightly, "Brother Dali, how do you know?"

Niu Dali smiled: "You are my daughter-in-law, what do you want, how can I not know?"

In fact, seeing Qiu Niang's lost appearance just now, Li Xianglan wanted to say that they had the money to run a private school.

But she is not stupid, she knows that if she runs a private school according to Qiu Niang's ideas, she will not be able to make ends meet, and she will spend a lot of money every year to buy the four treasures of the study.

Although they have a melon seed workshop as a support, they spend so much money for no reason, and they may not even get a return, even those powerful people would not be so stupid to do such a thing.

The powerful subsidized the poor scholars, that was because they fancied that the poor scholars would be able to pass the examination in the future, but Qiu Niang planned to teach the little girl to read and write....

Li Xianglan was embarrassed, "Brother Dali, I know that I don't have a good idea, but when I see Qiu Niang's appearance, I can't bear it!"

Niu Dali smiled and reached out to hold her hand, "I don't blame you, besides, Qiu Niang's original intention of running a private school is also good, we have no reason to refuse!"

Li Xianglan sighed: "It's good, but.."

Suddenly, she realized something, and said in astonishment: "Brother Dali, you don't object to Qiu Niang running a private school?"

Niu Dali nodded, Li Xianglan hesitated, "It's just Brother Dali, didn't you say that pen, ink, paper, and inkstone cost a lot of silver? According to Qiu Niang's idea, it costs a lot of silver to run a private school for a year!"

"Who said that you have to run a private school with those papers, pens, ink, etc.!"

Niu Dali smiled honestly, Leng Qiuniang did have many problems when she planned to run a women's private school, among which the pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and books used for reading were the key, but these problems were not unsolvable.

"How can you write without pen, ink, paper, and inkstone?" Li Xianglan was stunned.

"In two days, you'll know, don't tell Qiu Niang about this matter first, and I'll tell you when it's resolved!"

It's not that Niu Dali wants to deliberately hide from Li Xianglan, but... In fact, he just had an idea, if he said it, Li Xianglan might not be able to understand, so it was better to tell them then.

The next morning, the eldest girl and the second girl both found that Leng Qiuniang looked a little tired, and asked Leng Qiuniang with concern, Leng Qiuniang squeezed out a smile like spring sunshine, and said to the two girls that it was okay.

Li Xianglan looked distressed, but thinking of Brother Dali's advice last night, she was silent.

After breakfast, Niu Dali explained to Li Xianglan, and went to Carpenter Zhou's house, Er Ya originally wanted to go with him, but seeing Leng Qiuniang's depressed appearance, she decided to coax her aunt to laugh.
