Traveling through the mountains and fields to be leisurely

Chapter 278 Everyone's Thoughts
Now that the day is here, it seems that it has really become calmer, but there is nothing different. First of all, Lan Lingxue assigned her to her own yard, but she has never let the four girls who are close to her come into the house. Here, let Chunhua take them and serve her husband and wife personally, four maids, two of them each, let Chunhua take charge, arrange things well, and let the maids do things, so that Chunhua can always be by your side Unlike a while ago, she was the only personal waiter who was busy like a revolving lantern, passing meals, changing clothes, delivering laundry, accompanying, etc., when there was no rest every day, the arrangement now made Chunhua a lot easier She doesn't need to do many things by herself, and the time is free, so she spends more time with Lan Lingxue. When An Zhiyuan went to the office, Lan Lingxue also had someone to talk to, and occasionally wanted to discuss with her. Whatever happened, Chunhua could sit still and chat with her for a while.

Moreover, Lan Lingxue also found that with this arrangement, she and Zhiyuan have more leisure time than before. She couldn't help but sigh, jealousy is really bad, how much time was wasted in the past, and the work that girls can do , you have to do it yourself, don't talk about being tired, don't talk about delaying time, and you may not be able to do it well. Besides, this time is not like modern times. Human rights must be paid attention to. These girls, their work is assigned to the government. The masters in the house ordered them, and I let them not use them. The maids themselves were too anxious, because they were afraid that the master's family would not use them, and then they would only have the fate of being resold. No, they arranged people into the house. , everyone is grateful, everyone is diligent and clever, and their mouths are tight. Knowing that the two masters in the room don't want to be lazy, they naturally keep their energy all the time, and they have the ability to be left alone. After several months of experience, she was always cautious and cautious, lest her work would fall into the eyes of her master. Now that Lan Lingxue thinks about it, she was really a little out of her mind back then.

The people in the mansion have been properly arranged. After observing for a while, it was really useful. Lan Lingxue was relieved of this matter in the mansion, and resumed the habit of going out to inspect the property every day after listening to the stewards' replies. I am used to it, now Chunhua doesn't have to be busy in the house, she only helps Lan Lingxue manage the affairs of the shop outside and the Zhuangzi, and then helps Lan Lingxue share some of the hard work, at least Lan Lingxue doesn't need the account books sent back now I saw it for myself, Chunhua sums up the total for herself every day, Lan Lingxue just keeps a record of the general ledger of each shop every day, accumulates the amount of money, and at the end of the month it matches with the ledger in the shop, and it’s easy Very much, and the time seems to be a lot more. This is compared with the time she gave, Lan Lingxue set aside half of it to go shopping around the capital to see what kind of business is suitable for her family, and she will not compete with others. Interests, when doing business in the capital, those time-honored businesses are all backed by backers, or they are directly run by the rich and powerful's own shops. Don't provoke the interests of these shops, even though you have the prince behind you. Backing, but Lan Lingxue still didn't want to cause trouble.

In the remaining half of the time, Lan Lingxue will go to her new farm to see how the wheat is growing, or to the grain store of her adoptive father's house to see what is going on in their store. How about the sales of rice grains? Lan Lingxue has also introduced other grains besides wheat into her farm little by little. Moreover, Lan Lingxue is also thinking about whether she should buy some backing villages for her family to plant. Some small vegetables, some livestock, chickens, rabbits, lambs, deer and so on. In the future, my family will eat meat and collect skins, so I don’t need to go out to buy them. These have to be bought bit by bit. There are a few villas in the Hou Mansion, and the income is average. Lan Lingxue went there a few times, gave some suggestions, made some adjustments, and saw the results. The harvest this year should obviously be better than It was much higher than in previous years. I used to be impatient with Mrs. Shizi who came to Zhuangzi to tell me what to do, but now I admire Lan Lingxue. Every time Lan Lingxue comes to the villa, the steward will follow Lan Lingxue. Behind Lingxue, she asked Mrs. Shizi to give some advice. Lan Lingxue also decided to buy a few villas for the Lan family after seeing that the benefits of these villas in the Hou Mansion should be good. Hoes and small fences have grown up, and it is better to buy now and buy now than to take advantage of the well-run Zhuangzi.

"Lingxue, hurry up, didn't you agree to go there earlier?"

When I arrived at Anzhiyuan for a rest, I always rushed to the Zhuangzi in the outskirts of Lanjia early in the morning, and Mrs. An naturally followed every step of the way.
"Hey, let me tell you why you two are so ink-stained. My old lady has already cleaned up, and you are still dawdling here. Hurry up, or my old lady will have to leave first."

Mrs. An couldn't wait, so she rushed directly to the yard of her grandson and grandson-in-law. Lan Lingxue quickly helped the old man to sit down,
"Grandmother, don't worry, we'll be fine now. Look at the time, isn't it too early? The city gate probably hasn't been open for long."

Lan Lingxue was talking, and she didn't miss the work at hand, because every time An Zhiyuan took a bath, Mrs. An and An Zhiyuan would go to Lan's Zhuangzi in a hurry, so Lan Lingxue On the day that An Zhiyuan took a bath, the time for the incident was brought forward. Even so, she was still rushed by Mrs. An and An Zhiyuan, but she couldn't let the stewards who were in charge of the incident go away before dawn. It's not the case, that's too inhumane.

The reason why Mrs. An is so anxious is all because of the small fence over there. The old and the young can only see each other once every ten days. It is simply impossible to think about it. Mrs. An wants to see her when she wakes up early , Xiao Lili is reluctant to let the old lady go at night, making it as if it is parting from life and death, and the two families can't help laughing, saying that they are old children, old children, it is true, Mrs. An and Xiao Lili are the most in tune now Now, even Lan Lingxue has to step aside, An Zhiyuan once said,

"Grandmother, I used to be number one in your heart, and you loved me the most, but now it's a good thing, it's fallen to an unknown number, look, little fence is now the number one First, then Lingxue, barely ranked second, nah—vegetable garden is third, orchard is fourth, anyway, when it comes to myself, I don’t know What number is it?"

Seeing An Zhiyuan counting on his fingers, Lan Lingxue laughed.

Mrs. An nodded her grandson's forehead and said,

"Boy, you are so right, old lady, I have too many important things on my mind now, so I don't have time to think about your grandson anymore. If your grandson wants to attract my attention again, then hurry up Work harder and give me a great-grandson, otherwise, I won't even bother to talk to you."

The old lady's words immediately silenced Lan Lingxue's laughter, her whole face flushed with shame, An Zhiyuan quickly hugged his wife,

"If you give birth to a great-grandson, your old man will not want to see me even more. Forget it. If you don't have a great-grandson, you can still glance at me occasionally."

Old Madam An was so angry that she slapped her grandson on the back. An Zhiyuan didn't hide, and let the old lady vent her anger obediently. .

As for An Zhiyuan's rush to come to Zhuangzi, it was because of the private school. Recently, when An Zhiyuan arrived in Muxiu, he came here in a hurry, thinking about getting to know the children in Zhuangzi better. , Ask them about the private school they went to last day, how the curriculum is going, what they are learning, what they want to learn, what needs to be adjusted, whether it is difficult to study, sometimes, I can meet the teacher to add classes, Then he will accompany the children to a day's class. During the break, he will drink tea with the invited master, and talk about what areas need to be improved in the private school, whether the children in the private school are still working hard, and what There are no disobedient ones, naughty ones who don't want to go to class, and, how did Xiao Lili follow suit?Is he willing to study with everyone, or is he willing to accept the teacher's teaching alone? After understanding it for a while, An Zhiyuan can be said to know everything about this private school in Lanjiazhuangzi. I am more and more in favor of Lan Lingxue's teaching concept.

Lan Lingxue didn't just let the children learn those dogmas, things that were only used for exams, but added some skills that could allow them to survive, such as numerology, and generally just taught them simply Addition and subtraction are just passed by, but Lan Lingxue requires all the children in the private school to be proficient in oral arithmetic, mental arithmetic, and abacus. She told the children that no matter whether they stay at home or go out to start a business, they must In the hand, in the mouth, in the heart, each has an accounting book, so that we can avoid confused things and be a sensible person. For this reason, I specially invited a teacher to teach numerology, and I also accompanied the teacher, and specially compiled a book. In terms of literacy, it is not just for the master to teach the children the three-character scriptures and hundreds of surnames, but a poem every day, which is also from the shallower to the deeper. Even faster than those ethnology studies, the children did not feel tired. It seems that the correct learning method and teaching method are equally important.

Now, he has already begun to mobilize his colleagues in the military department. If there are children who are slightly older than Xiao Lili, they will be sent to the Zhuangzi of the Lan family. Anyway, it is a bit early to study at this age. Guys, read and play together. When you are eight or nine years old, you don’t have to delay if you want to go to ethnology. You also accepted Lan Lingxue’s suggestion and redesigned the textbooks for these children. In this way, the private school is now It is divided into two classes, one elementary class and one intermediate class. The elementary class is for children above the age of four and five, and the intermediate class is for the older children in Zhuangzi's original class. The children sang nursery rhymes, so they had to set up another class. What Lan Lingxue didn't expect was that she thought that An Zhiyuan's method would not work, and it didn't suit the actual situation. There are many families and many officials who send their children to those more famous ethnology schools, where they can learn culture and get in touch with the children of those powerful families. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone. Now An Zhiyuan took other people's children to the village in the suburbs, and let them study with the children of the farmers on the village. No matter how you think about it, it is impossible. Therefore, Lan Lingxue once made a bet with An Zhiyuan, saying that he Things will never work out.
