Mother Qu's knowledge is wider than Yuxi's, and after Hao Dazhuang left, she said to Yuxi: "Madam, even if you invite Mr., what should I do with this book?" Even if you have money, you can't buy hundreds of the same books here.

Yuxi thought for a while and said: "It's also simple, when the time comes, paste the big characters written on it, and let them learn it." I just want to help them survive the cold winter, and by the way, I don't need to pay so much attention to it. Moreover, it is not for them to conduct scientific research. ”

Mother Qu has no doubts after listening to it. It was Yuxi who suddenly became interested, went to the study, and began to write big characters.

Zi Jin looked at Yuxi's words and said, "Madam, your characters are good-looking, but the people who learn to read are boys, isn't this plum blossom font too feminine?"

Yuxi turned his head to look at Zi Jin and said, "Who said that only boys can be taught, girls can learn to read and write!" After saying this, Yuxi felt that the problem had come again. If you let girls learn to read and write, you can't learn with boys. Moreover, the gentleman who asked for it was willing to teach boys, but he certainly did not want to teach girls.

Thinking of this, Yuxi said, "Then find two houses." ”

Mother Qu is more knowledgeable than Yuxi, and said: "If this is the case, it will definitely attract criticism at that time." "In this world, there is no women's school!

Yuxi didn't like to listen to this, and said: "What do you criticize? If you want to criticize, let them criticize, and I haven't done anything unseemly." Moreover, it is only one winter, and when the winter passes, it will be dispersed. ”

Seeing that Yuxi had made up her mind, Qu's mother immediately said: "Then if you are looking for a house, it is best to find a big one and a small one." "Mother Qu's meaning is very clear, they are all patriarchal, if you know that Yuxi not only provides three meals here, but also can read and write, if it is a son, it will be sent nine times out of ten. But the girl may not be, and the young who can't do the work may be sent to eat. If you are old, you will probably have to stay at home to work.

Yuxi smiled and said: "If you are willing to send the child, then you will accept it, and if you are not willing to send the child, you can still live it." "She just wants to do some good deeds and accumulate some virtues, and she doesn't plan to be a great benevolent person to help the world. Besides, she doesn't have the financial resources.

Mother Qu saw that Yuxi knew what she wanted, so she didn't say more, but just reminded Yuxi: "Mrs. still asks people to talk to the shopkeeper Hao about this." "If you don't remind me, Hao Dazhuang definitely only accepts boys, not girls.

Hao Dazhuang heard Yuxi say that the girl would also accept it, but when the time came, the men and women were separated, and he was stunned for a moment. But think about it, one sheep is driving two sheep anyway, and men and women are men and women!

When Yun Qing returned to the mansion, Yu Xi told him about it, and Yun Qing was still very curious why Yu Xi changed so quickly: "Why did you remember to run a school?"

Yuxi said Hao Dazhuang's scruples at that time: "At that time, I thought that children from poor families want to read and write, but they don't have the opportunity. There is nothing to do in this winter, they are all at home, why don't you let them come to the school to learn something? After three months, how can they learn 1,800 words. When the time comes, you should be able to understand the simple things. "Military newspaper or something, that also needs to be recognized!

Yun Qing nodded and praised, "Your idea is very good. "Running a temporary school is several times stronger than sending cotton jackets and pants.

Yuxi said: "Tens of thousands of people die in battle every year in this city, and if all of them are sent, we can't afford it. Besides, this is just done, and I have no experience, so I am sure that Rui is prone to mistakes. So I mean limit it to three hundred. "These three hundred, both men and women.

Yun Qing knew what Yuxi meant that these three hundred children would be chosen from the families of the soldiers who died in battle under his command. Yunqing nodded and said, "You can handle this matter." If you have any problems, tell me. ”

Yuxi will be polite to others, but not to Yunqing: "It's better to say that the others are a little difficult for Mr. I have an idea, do you think it's feasible?" After speaking, Yuxi said what she had thought before.

Yun Qing shook his head and said, "Little girl, your method is feasible. But on the boy's side, your method is not feasible. These kids are mischievous and have to find someone who can hold them. After thinking for a while, Yunqing said, "I'll solve this matter!"

Yuxi smiled: "Okay!"

Hao Dazhuang's movements were very fast, and it only took three days to sort out the list and show it to Yuxi. Yuxi looked at the list, there were more than 260 boys and only more than 20 girls, adding up to exactly 300.

Hao Dazhuang said: "Madam, these children don't live in the same place, it's okay now, but when it snows, it's not appropriate to go back and forth every day." Those who are close can let them go back on their own, and if they are far away, it is not very appropriate. "The so-called inappropriateness is that I am afraid of accidents. After all, they are all half-grown children. But if they stay and don't go back, there will be a lot of problems.

Yuxi smiled, it's not easy to do something. This school hasn't been set up yet, so there are so many questions: "Those who are close will go home, and those who are too far to go back will talk about it then." "When the time comes, they really can't go back, so they can only stay, but the number of people must not be too large. Otherwise, it is difficult to manage.

Hao Dazhuang gave Yuxi a list of things to be purchased, and the price and quantity were also marked on it, which was very clear.

Yuxi gave Hao Dazhuang a silver ticket of 1,000 taels and said, "When it's used up, tell me again." "Doing good deeds is really a money-burning thing. Fortunately, it was only three months, and I was able to hold on.

Hao Dazhuang took the silver ticket and asked Yuxi: "Madam, what about this gentleman?"

Yuxi said: "You don't have to worry about Mr.'s business, when the matter is handled properly, Mr. will naturally have it." "If you really can't do it, just find two people who can read and write to teach. Yuxi is not worried at all that he will mislead people's children, anyway, when the time comes, he will use the surname of the hundred families and the "Three Character Classic" and "Thousand Character Text". After learning these three books, this winter should be almost over.

It's hard to make such a big move without attracting attention. Even if Hao Dazhuang didn't say it, those who wanted to send their children to the temporary school would say it. Soon, no one in the upper echelons of Yucheng didn't know that Yuxi was going to set up a temporary school.

Second Grandma Zhao and Grandma Fu came to the door at the same time to ask Yuxi. Second Grandma Zhao asked first, "Sister, what's going on with your temporary school?"

Yuxi said simply: "My mother used to tell me that I should accumulate virtue and do good. I heard that many soldiers had a bad family background, so I wanted to send some food, quilts, jackets and other things. But when you think about it, these things can only solve temporary difficulties, but they can't solve fundamental problems. That's why I thought of getting a makeshift school. In this way, these children can not only be clothed and fed on a cold day, but also recognize a few words. The best of both worlds. ”

Second Grandma Zhao said: "Sister, this cost is not low!" "So many children, how can they get 1,800 taels of silver in one winter, of course, this is only a conservative estimate."

Yuxi said with a smile: "These two hundred or so children are within my tolerance. If it's too much, it's unbearable. ”

Grandma Fu asked a very crucial question: "Does General Yun know about this?"

Yuxi nodded and said, "I'm doing good deeds, accumulating virtue and doing good deeds, where can he oppose it?" This seems to mean that Yunqing is against it, but it is useless to oppose it.

Second Grandma Zhao listened and said, "Sister, I also do my part. "Second Grandma Zhao is going to donate one hundred taels of silver. One hundred taels of silver said to Zhao Er's grandmother that it was half a year's pocket money.

Yuxi shook his head with a smile and said, "It's only been a few months, and I can still hold on." If my sister really wants to help these children, she will send some rice and noodles to improve their food. "She will definitely not accept the money, and it will only be three months, and she can't afford it.

Second Grandma Zhao replied very happily: "Yes, I will buy more rice and noodles and send them over when the time comes." "Second Grandma Zhao grew up in the border city, and she knows the situation here better than Yuxi. It's just that these things Yuxi can do, but she can't do them.

Seeing this, Grandma Fu said with a smile: "Then I'll have someone send some meat and vegetables over to add food to these children." "Ordinary people don't necessarily get meat once a month.

Yuxi smiled: "When the academy is established, we will go over and have a look then." "It's going to be three months soon, and I'm going to be able to go out.

Second Grandma Zhao looked at Yuxi's already pregnant belly and said, "In a few days, it will snow." When the time comes, it's very slippery outside, and you're still pregnant with a child, so you can't go out. ”

Yuxi smiled and said, "I'll pay attention." But she didn't say that she wouldn't go to the school to see it then. The school I founded must have been seen before I was relieved.

Grandma Fu said, "If there is anything you need our help with, just ask." As long as we can do it, we will definitely not postpone. ”

Second Grandma Zhao also immediately expressed her position. In fact, she also knew that Yuxi didn't even accept money, so what else could she need their help with.

Yuxi shook his head with a smile and said, "Not for the time being, but if there is, I will definitely not be polite to you." Although Yuxi doesn't want to owe favors, if he really can't solve it, he will open his mouth.

Both of them came to inquire about the news, stayed for a while, and then left together. Out of the gate, the two of them rushed in the direction of home.

Zi Jin said with a smile: "Madame has arrived in the northwest, and she has become much bolder, and she is no longer the same as before." "In the past, Mrs. didn't dare to show her talents, and she didn't dare to express her anger, so she kept it forbearing. Such a high-profile act this time was really unexpected by her.

Yuxi pursed his lips and smiled, and said, "You also know that it was all before. "In the past, if we didn't keep a low profile and forbearance, there would be no peaceful life. Now it's different, she's no longer under the control of others, and she doesn't have to be afraid of anything anymore. Naturally, you can do whatever you want. Moreover, doing more good deeds and accumulating a good reputation is only beneficial and not harmful.
