Mrs.
Su knew that it was too late when the two concubines in the family went to Changyuan to report their names, and then she thought that this matter must have been revealed by her master, and she was so angry that she didn't let Su Shangshu enter her yard for three days.But angry is angry, the quota has been reported, and there is no possibility of crossing it out again, and she doesn't dare to ask Mrs.
Qin Yuan for this request.She knew that although Mrs.
Qin Yuan didn't like officials to take concubines, she didn't have much prejudice against her children.It is these women who are biased against the team.At this point, Mrs.
Su had no choice but to call her daughter and niece, and told her that after she arrived at the women's school, she must not be compared with the two sisters.In this regard, Su Yan said: "She originally wanted to go to women's school because Shao Mei was determined to go to a girls' school, and she wanted to follow her because she was bored at home alone, so she didn't think about studying hard at all.Mother's request, isn't it a little too difficult for her!
Besides, no matter how well Su Miao and Su Wan learn in women's school, they are just two concubines, so they are naturally one level shorter than her, even if they marry in the future, the identity of the husband's family will never be higher than the person she will marry in the future, and even if they marry in the past, they will be concubines, what is there to compare it to.However, seeing her mother's angry appearance, Su Yan had no choice but to respond vaguely.That's for later.In the Hubu Shangshu Mansion, because Su Shangshu wanted to let the concubine enter the women's school, the couple broke up unhappily.The British government is much quieter when it comes to girls' studies.There are only two masters living in the British Mansion today.The Duchess of England and the Lady of the Duchess of England.The British duchess reads Buddha vegetarian, but Mu Sheng is a meatless and unhappy.Mother and daughter rarely sit down to eat together, and this night was no exception.Mu Sheng went to his mother's courtyard after dinner, and when he heard the sound of chanting outside the small Buddha hall, he stopped, and just stood in place and waited quietly.Wait until a passage is finished and the sound of the wooden fish stops, and then raise your feet and walk in."
Mother."
The British duchess pointed to the futon opposite, "It's getting late, what is Sheng'er doing here?"
”Mu Sheng knelt down on the futon and sat down, "Today, my daughter went to Mrs.
Qin Yuan's chrysanthemum banquet, and Mrs.
Qin Yuan said that she was founding a women's school, and her daughter registered at the banquet. ”The English duchess's eyes finally moved, but she still didn't say anything.Mu Sheng continued: "If you enter the women's school, you can only go home once every other day, and you have to worry about your mother's decision.Mama Fang is good at housekeeping, Mama Chang is good at socializing with people, and the two of them will come over to assist their mother after their daughter leaves.In addition, the Grange shop outside the house can now be kept in good order, and the daughter only needs to come back every once in a while to check the accounts, and the mother does not have to worry. ”The British duchess twisted the Buddhist beads in her hand, lowered her eyes and nodded, "Since Sheng'er, you have already arranged it, then let's go." ”Mu Sheng stood up, "Then the daughter won't disturb her mother's chanting, and the daughter will retire." ”The threshold to get out of the small Buddha hall.Behind him, he suddenly caught up and said, "Take care of your brother." ”Mu Sheng paused and answered in a low voice.There are several special alleys at the junction of the south and east of Shangjing City.These alleys are not all natives of the capital, but all over the world.The only thing they have in common is that they have all been on the battlefield, have been wounded, shed blood, and have contributed to the protection of Dayong's territory.When he was no longer able to defend his family and country, he could only retire from the barracks with a meager pension money.And because of such and such illnesses on his body, even if there is a pension money, it is not enough to support the expenses of everyone in the family, so he can only drag his disabled body to find some capable work to earn some money.If you want to say that among these veterans, the best life belongs to the soldiers who once belonged to the Yaoguo Mansion and the Wuwei General's Mansion.In addition to that little pension money, they can also receive a small amount of monthly money every month, but they can barely maintain food and clothing, this money is not allocated by the imperial court, but the Yaoguo Mansion and the Wuwei General's Mansion treat each other with kindness.As long as the veterans in the alley have retired from the Yaoguo Mansion and the Wuwei General's Mansion, their lives are much better than those of other families.It's really enviable!"
Chen Laosan," Cheng Hu just opened the door of his house, and saw his neighbor passing slowly in front of him with an injured leg, the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were full of joy, and he couldn't help but ask, "Look at you so happy, someone from General Wuwei's Mansion came yesterday, is it possible that he will send you moon silver again?"
”After he asked, he shook his head first, "No, it wasn't the third day of the month before, and it was sent again in the past few days?"
”"No," Chen Laosan was stopped and shook his head, "It's a better thing than giving moon silver." ”Cheng Hu's heart suddenly soured, and he couldn't help but wonder, "What is the good thing?"
”"Kyoto recently opened a new women's school, yesterday the eldest lady of the eldest son's family came over in person, just to tell us, as long as there is a girl in the family, can be sent to the women's school, food and accommodation do not have to be responsible for us, do you say is it a good thing?"
Thinking of the three daughters in the family, the sour water in Cheng Hu's heart couldn't help but gurgle again, "What is this girl?"
”"The eldest prince said that it is a place where you can study like a boy."
Cheng Hu's eyes widened when he heard this, "Study like a boy?"
What's the use of this girl's study?
”Chen Laosan was immediately dissatisfied when he heard this, and glared back, "Why is it useless for girls to study, the official lady has to ask Mr. to teach them to read and learn words, what are you doing if it's useless."
Don't say that our identities are different, you look at the Tianyi Pavilion on Xuanwu Street, how many official wives and ladies recognize the clothes of Tianyi Pavilion, the shopkeeper of Tianyi Pavilion is a teenage girl, if she doesn't read and write, do you think she can be the shopkeeper?
”Cheng Hu gritted his teeth and argued forcefully: "Isn't that the only one out of her, if you want me to say that the girl should learn to take care of the housework at home, and find a good in-law when she grows up." ”"If you don't send her to study, how do you know that she can't learn the skills of the shopkeeper of Tianyi Pavilion, what if she does?
Besides, you don't have to worry about the child's food and housing, will you go for this kind of thing?
”Cheng Hu: "Go!"
”Chen Laosan: "That's not it."
Forget it, I won't tell you, I have to buy new clothes for the eldest and second girls in the family, go to the female school to worship Mr., and I can't still wear patched clothes. ”Seeing Chen Laosan humming a small tune in his mouth and walking away slowly, Cheng Hu was so angry that he snapped the door shut.When I saw the three stupid girls in a row at home, I couldn't help but look at the courtyard of Chen Laosan's house next to my head.Why can't he touch such a good thing!
He doesn't expect his children to be able to read anything when they enter the girls' school, and he doesn't have to worry about the children's food and housing!
When Wei Xi went to Changyuan a few days later, she encountered several carriages with the same destination as her.After arriving at Changyuan, he waited by the side for nearly half an hour before Mrs.
Qin Yuan was idle.Among them, she responded to no less than five young ladies who came to ask her if she was also going to sign up for women's school.Yes, not all the official ladies who came to Changyuan had already made a decision to sign up, but wanted to understand what to learn and what to study after entering the women's school, as well as food and housing, if you want to live in the women's school, whether you can bring a maid These trivial questions.After understanding this, less than half of what was left in the end.After Wei Xi entered, before she could speak first, Qin Yuan raised the notebook in her hand first, "Xi'er guessed how many people have signed up now?"
”"Based on today's numbers, there should be more than forty but less than fifty people in the past five days?"
Qin Yuan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, "I guessed it accurately, it was just a compromise, forty-five." ”She said and pushed the registration book in her hand in front of Wei Xi, "Take a look." ”Wei Xi swept it from top to bottom and almost had a count in his heart, "Most of them are concubines in the family, and it seems that those ladies have a lot of concerns." ”Qin Yuan nodded, "Although my name is quite useful, it still can't compare to their own ideas.I said that I would let the girls make their own decisions, but unless this person is extremely determined, he will not be able to resist his own mother.Those ladies didn't dare to make me dissatisfied, so they pushed the concubine of the family over, which can be regarded as selling me.It was Fang Ting, who was the wife of the Hubu Shangshu, who asked the daughters and concubines of the family to sign up. ”Wei Xi also happened to see three Su and one Shao, she faintly felt that there were two names in them that were a little familiar, and she couldn't remember where she had heard them, so she simply didn't want to.Then the finger rested on a name.Qin Yuan glanced at it, "Rong Yan?
Qingguo Mansion, how can you only refer to her, do you recognize this girl Xi'er?
”Wei Xi retracted his fingers and nodded, "There was a one-sided relationship." ”"I still have some impressions of this child," Qin Yuan glanced at Wei Xi's little expression that wanted to cover up, and he didn't break it, "The temperament is a little strong, there are so many girls in the Qingguo Mansion, in the end, she is the only one who came, and she also has an idea." ”Putting these aside from mentioning, Qin Yuan took back the registration book and handed it to the maid standing next to her, "Xi'er came to my Changyuan today, but you have something to tell me?"
”Wei Xi nodded, and then told her mother about her mother's idea to provide the daughter of the veteran general's family under the command of the Yaoguo Mansion and the Wuwei General's Mansion with a free opportunity to enter the women's school.Qin Yuan smiled after hearing this, "This is a good thing, the soldiers and generals defend the country, and even sacrifice for the country, as their children, some children have never seen their father's face since they were young, and they deserve preferential treatment."
In this way, I will trouble Xi'er and your mother. ”Wei Xi had some guesses about this trouble, "Madame, please speak." ”"Your mother is a descendant of the General's Mansion, and she has the most extensive connections among the veteran generals in Shangjing City."
Wei Xi nodded, this is true.Qin Yuan continued: "Then give this opportunity to the daughters of all the soldiers who have been discharged due to disability." ”
