As soon as the lunar month begins, every family has to prepare New Year's goods.

People who do business naturally do whatever they have to make a profit. A few days ago, Lin Chengzhi bought a batch of candies and hazelnuts and other dry goods from Fucheng to sell, although the price was a little expensive, but the business was not bad. Therefore, this time he asked Lin Lewei to enter a batch again, and this time the amount was double that of the last time.

When Lin Chengan came to him, he was unloading.

Lin Chengzhi said: "If there is anything, I will wait until I finish unloading this batch of goods." ”

Tomorrow is the day of the market, and today the goods are fully prepared and placed.

Lin Chengan didn't really wait on the sidelines, rolled up his sleeves and stepped forward to help.

After getting the things right, Lin Chengzhi asked, "Brother Cheng'an, what are you here to do?" ”

Lin Chengan said with a smile: "You found an embroidery girl for the baby, and my family was so excited that I wanted Chunmei to learn too." ”

Lin Chengzhi's face was embarrassed, but he didn't say much on the street at this time: "Go, go with me." ”

Lin Chengan grabbed him and said, "Chengzhi, you better go back with me first!" Otherwise, the patriarch will ask you to go back. ”

Lin Chengzhi didn't refuse, but said: "Wait for me to go back and change my clothes, and then go back to Peach Blossom Village." ”

The two sat on the boat, and Lin Chengan asked, "Please embroider Niang, this is the meaning of Qingshu, right?" ”

Lin Chengzhi nodded and said: "Not only please embroider the girl, Qingshu is also going to ask the bookkeeper to teach the children to plan the plate." ”

Lin Chengan was stunned: "What? Still teaching the plan plate? It's all a guy who eats, who will teach it? ”

"Gu Heping, he is the bookkeeper in the restaurant, and he has already agreed to this."

Lin Chengan frowned and said, "Why didn't this kid hand over this matter to you, and to an outsider?" ”

Lin Chengzhi smiled and said, "This is what Old Madam Gu meant?" Old Madam Gu did this, but she also wanted to follow the Buddha's example. ”

"That's a lot of wages every month, right?"

Lin Chengzhi smiled and said, "Five taels of silver a month." There are only two classes a day, each of which lasts for a quarter of an hour. ”

"What about this embroiderer?"

Lin Chengzhi said: "The embroidery girl is more expensive, ten taels of silver per month. As for how long it will be taught, it depends on how well the children learn. ”

Lin Chengan was frightened as soon as he settled the accounts: "My obedient, just these people's wages are twenty taels a month." If you add the money for food and charcoal, it will cost you thirty or forty taels a month. ”

Lin Chengzhi hummed and said, "Qingshu asked someone to send me a thousand taels of silver, saying that if it was not enough, he would write to her." ”

"This kid has a really big hand."

Lin Chengzhi also felt that Qingshu had a big hand, at least much bigger than An An: "She wrote to me specifically about this, saying that the girls in the clan should not only know how to read, but also learn a skill, so that they can live a good life when they get married in the future." ”

"This kid has such a heart. It's just, cough, why do you let the girl study! ”

Lin Chengzhi smiled. He is actually very regretful, if Qingshu is a son, the Lin family will definitely be able to get up. Now, ahem, don't mention it.

Seeing this, Lin Chengan immediately changed the topic: "How is Brother Wen?" You've learned it well, right? ”

Speaking of his youngest son, Lin Chengzhi was in a good mood: "It's good." Mr. takes care of him quite well, as long as he studies seriously, he may not be able to be admitted to Baitan Academy. ”

"That's great, our family will soon have a second Jinshi master."

But when he thought that Lin Chengyu, the old man of Jinshi, was not as comfortable as Qingshu, he felt tasteless.

At this time, the Lin clan wanted to send their own girls to learn because they would teach embroidery in private schools. But Mr. Duan didn't dare to respond, so a group of people ran to find the patriarch.

Patriarch An Fu asked everyone to go back and wait for news for a long time, and then asked his son to invite Lin Chengzhi, but before his son went out, Lin Chengzhi came.

"Chengzhi, what's going on with this embroidery girl?"

Lin Chengzhi relayed what he had just said to Lin Chengan: "I think Qingshu is very thoughtful. The girl's family can't be the champion in the literacy test, and it is most practical to learn a skill. ”

The patriarch was immediately impressed by Qingshu: "It's really useless for the girl's family to study, but this embroidery is different." This has to learn not only to make embroidery and sell it for money to improve the conditions of the family, but also to break through the threshold of the people who come to be close to them in the future. ”

"Embroidery is just the beginning, Qingshu also invited Gu Heping to teach the children to plan plates, and at that time, he will also invite the cook to teach everyone to cook."

Acupuncture and cooking skills are all necessary for women, even if they are not brilliant, they have to be able to do it.

The patriarch was stunned: "Do you still need to teach cooking?" Who doesn't know how to cook! ”

Lin Chengzhi said with a smile: "When people in the village cook, they all boil and eat with water. But if you want to make it delicious, you have to pay attention to it, even if it is the same ingredient, the taste will be completely different in the hands of different people. ”

He knows this firsthand.

The patriarch couldn't help asking, "Then what else do you teach?" ”

Lin Chengzhi said: "If in the process of teaching, Mr. finds that a child has a specialty, such as being able to identify herbs or something, then he can recommend it to female medical pharmacology or medical skills." ”

"Do those female doctors teach?"

Lin Chengzhi nodded and said: "I can teach, but it will be very hard, and I just went for the first five years without paying for food and clothing." ”

The patriarch felt that this was normal: "That's natural. Not only does you not have a salary to worship a master, but you also have to pay a gift to the master! ”

If you learn it, even if you have a headache and brain fever, it's an entry!

The patriarch's heart was hot, and he said, "Chengzhi, can you discuss with Qingshu and let him also set up a private school in the village so that the men in the clan can study for free?" Even if they can't study, it's good to let them learn a skill like this! ”

The girl has learned the trade, and in the future, she will marry into someone else's family. But the brother learns differently, not only to improve the living conditions of his own family, but also to pass on to future generations.

Lin Chengzhi smiled bitterly: "I wrote to say it, but Qingshu didn't respond." ”

The patriarch sighed and said, "Why does this kid only think about the girls in the clan? ”

Lin Chengan said: "Because Qingshu is a girl herself, she wants to bring a gospel to the girls in the clan." ”

The one who pays is the uncle, and no one can do anything if Qingshu doesn't agree. The patriarch said: "Many families in the village now want to send their girls to private schools to study, do you see this? ”

Lin Chengzhi was very cheerful this time: "Yes, but when you enter the school, you must abide by the rules inside." If you break the rules, you will be kicked out, and you will not be allowed to enter in the future. ”

The patriarch nodded: "This is natural, there are no rules, there is no circle, is there anything else?" ”

"No more. Qingshu changed the age to accept children between the ages of six and ten. And it's only four years of study, and after four years of study, you can't continue to stay in a private school. ”

"What about the children under the age of six in the private school?"

Lin Chengzhi smiled and said: "They can stay, but they won't accept those who are not within this range now and in the future." ”

The patriarch had no objections.
