At noon, Qingshu woke up in a light fragrance.

When I opened my eyes, I saw two blooming plum blossoms in a white porcelain vase: "Hey, Jingne, where did this come from?" ”

Fu Jingene said with a smile: "The Tu family has two hundred-year-old plum trees, and I asked Wei Ang to fold two for me, do you like it?" ”

Qingshu liked it very much and said: "When spring opens next year, we will also plant more than a dozen plum trees in the garden." When the plum blossoms bloomed, I invited Xiao Yu and Huan Xi to enjoy the flowers. ”

Speaking of Feng Xiaoyu, Fu Jingene couldn't help asking, "The people of the Guan family have stopped now, right?" ”

Qingshu said about the eldest princess's visit to the Hou Mansion that day: "If you have this matter, Mrs. Guan should not embarrass Xiaoyu anymore."

"The nature of the country is easy to change, this matter can only make her settle down for some time, and she will still find fault after the turmoil passes. The best thing to do is to move out and not live with them, and not under the same roof and no more conflicts. ”

Qingshu said with a smile: "Xiao Yu said that she will return to Wenhua Hall to teach after the New Year, so they will move to Meihua Lane to live at that time." ”

"That's good."

Basho said outside: "Master, wife, someone from the eldest princess's mansion is here." ”

Qingshu handed over the post to the eldest princess's mansion two days ago, but the eldest princess was not in the mansion for the past two days. When I returned home today and heard Qingshu asking to see her, I sent someone to invite her over.

Fu Jingene was not at ease, took Qingshu's hand and said, "I'll go with you!" ”

In the morning, he dealt with some things in the Hanlin Academy, and when the matter was done, he came back and didn't go to the East Palace. Originally, I wanted the husband and wife to have a good talk, but now it seems that it is in vain.

When the two arrived at the eldest princess's mansion, Fu Jingene stayed in the front yard and waited, while Qingshu followed the visitor to the back house.

The eldest princess was wearing a simple crimson cloud brocade palace dress, and her head full of green silk was pulled up with a jasper hairpin, leaning on the soft collapse, and the whole person looked very leisurely.

Qingshu was amazed every time he saw the eldest princess. Many people have gray hair in their forties and fifties, but the eldest princess has six out of sixty and her hair is not gray, and she doesn't know how to maintain it.

Seeing that Qingshu was about to kneel and salute, the eldest princess said with a smile: "Don't bow this time, what if you are pregnant and kneeling now, what if you touch your belly?" ”

Qingshu smiled and said, "No, I'm very careful." ”

When she sat down, the eldest princess asked, "What's the matter with seeing me this time?" ”

The so-called nothing is not to go to the Three Treasures Palace. Qingshu is a little afraid of her, she can't see her on weekdays, but this time she must have something to do if she takes the initiative to meet someone.

Qingshu really had something to say to the eldest princess: "Eldest princess, I have set up a school in my hometown for the girls in the clan to study. A few months ago, my third uncle wrote to me that I had a niece who was gifted in medicine. I was moved at that time, so I asked my third uncle to send this child! ”

There are few things in the capital that can be hidden from the eldest princess: "Is it the little girl who became a medicine boy in Qin Lao?" ”

"Yes, that's her. Old Lady Qin said that she was very sensitive to herbal medicine, and she would be able to teach her. Qingshu said: "Eldest princess, this incident has inspired me a lot. ”

"Oh, what inspiration?"

Qingshu has been reflecting on this time. She keeps saying that she wants to do something meaningful, but what is something meaningful! As an official, women are excluded everywhere in the officialdom and are struggling, and it is difficult to climb to a high position. There is another way, and that is to do good deeds with the money earned from doing business. Just helping people, you can only help for a while, but you can't help for a lifetime.

It was at this time that Lin Chengzhi's letter inspired her. Instead of running to become an official or often do business, it is better to dig out children who are talented in a certain area and train them to become talents.

Qingshu said: "Eldest princess, I checked and found that the number of girls studying is decreasing every year. Except for those who don't worry about money, even ordinary eunuchs send their children to school for a year or two to learn some words and then go home. ”

Why is this so? Because their family thinks that the girl's family will read for a year or two, she can read some words, read and understand the account book, and she should not be blind. In fact, many girls get married after three or four years of studying. After getting married, he stayed in the back house on one acre and three points of land. So, for many people, there is no difference between studying for ten years and studying for one or two years. ”

The eldest princess nodded and said, "Tell me what you think." ”

Qingshu said: "Eldest princess, I think we can find some students with better talents, and then invite embroidery girls, doctors, old bookkeepers and others to teach them in the school in my hometown." If there are those who are good at a certain aspect, we will pick them out and focus on cultivating. ”

"And then?"

Qingshu said: "Eldest princess, just like Lin Fei, she will be selected by Luo Yongyi if she has good martial arts. As long as you learn the skills well, you won't worry about no one using them. ”

"But how can there be so many gifted children in this world?"

Qingshu said: "It doesn't mean that you have to be a talented child. For example, if you do accounting, as long as you are smart and hardworking, you can still learn well. If we learn well, we can't compete with men under the same conditions, then we can lower the conditions. For example, if the other party wants to take ten taels a month, we only need eight taels or six taels. Businessmen are profit-seeking, and as long as they do a good job, they will definitely hire those with little wages. ”

After speaking, Qingshu said: "But this requires huge human and financial resources, and it will take years to see results. ”

The eldest princess smiled and said, "Nothing can be done overnight. You can do it freely, and if you need anything, you can tell me directly. ”

Qing Shu hesitated and said, "Eldest princess, I'm just a superficial idea. Moreover, the school is not famous, and it is difficult to recruit students. ”

She wants to recruit literate female students, not children who don't understand anything.

The eldest princess looked at her and asked, "Do you want this school to be listed under the name of Wenhua Hall?" ”

Without waiting for Qingshu to speak, the eldest princess shook her head: "Although I am the mountain chief of Wenhuatang, I can't make decisions about Wenhuatang alone. Others, on the other hand, would certainly not approve of this proposal. Running such a school will definitely cause a lot of controversy and even those old scholars will crusade, and I can't let Wenhuatang get involved in this whirlpool. ”

Qingshu did have this idea, and when he heard the eldest princess's explanation, he hurriedly said, "It's me who didn't think about it." ”

"But you're a good idea. If this school is successful, many women will go out of the house to find errands. ”

There are women who are willing to stay in the inner house and teach their husbands and children to be good wives and mothers, but there are also many women who are unwilling to rely on men and want to be self-reliant. And this academy can provide them with an opportunity.

Qingshu was a little embarrassed to be praised like this: "It's just a superficial idea of mine, and I don't have any experience." But no matter how big the difficulty is, I will try to overcome it. ”

The eldest princess said, "You don't have to worry about this, I will send someone to assist you then." Qingshu, I believe that you will be able to run this school well. ”

Refreshing and refreshing Alexander.
