The ultimate rebirth of the abandoned woman

Chapter 516
After talking about other people's gossip, the Cui couple drank a cup of tea and continued to concentrate on their work.

The preparatory work of the college went smoothly. After all, the school building was ready-made, and it only needed to build a new wall and reopen the door.

Teachers are also readily available. In addition to the three celebrities, Song Yu and Cui Yanbo dug three doctors from the Imperial College, as well as several masters of martial arts, Prince Xiao, Cui Youbo, old Xianggong and even Li Rong. Lecturers, teachers are absolutely strong.

All kinds of teaching tools and teaching materials are also fully prepared.

Especially the textbooks, after Xiao Nan and Cui Youbo selected them, they were directly thrown to the Printing Bureau for unified printing.

Don't look at the printing bureau is very busy now, in addition to busy printing the Four Books and Five Classics, Tang Law and other necessary books all day long, they also have to print mansion newspapers for the imperial court and distribute official documents to all counties in the world, so there is no time to do private work for the dignitaries.

But the Cui family is different. Movable type printing was originally 'invented' by Cui Youbo. Some of those printing masters are even craftsmen of the Cui family. Now Xiao Nan's second brother is in charge of the printing bureau. The printing bureau is just like the Cui family's private workshop. .

No matter how busy the printing bureau was, there was absolutely no delay in the work of the Cui family.

Therefore, before the academy officially started, all the textbooks and homework books required by Qiusuo Hall and Deyin Hall were printed and properly stored in the college's warehouse.

The teaching materials didn't bother Xiao Nan, but the teaching aids such as the blackboard and chalk made her worry a bit.

To be honest, blackboards and chalk are the most common things in schools in later generations, but Xiao Nan really doesn’t know how to do it. Blackboards are better. If it doesn’t work, people just paint the wall black, and then cover it with a layer of glass. Can.

But chalk... Xiao Nan shook his head, she only knew that it seemed to be made of lime powder, but she didn't know the detailed production steps.

Just when Xiao Nan was thinking about whether to "inspire" Zhou Meng and ask this contemporary inventor to help him invent chalk, Xiao Hui came to visit.

Seeing Xiao Hui, Xiao Nan's eyes lit up, yes, isn't there another one? Although there is no real verification, Xiao Nan is already [-]% sure that her concubine sister is very likely to be the same as Xiao Qiyi. So, what kind of plane businessman.

Take a look at the things that Xiao Hui kicked out, nine out of ten are things that are only available in later generations, and they are well-made and there are a lot of them.What kind of cloisonné enamel handle mirror, what kind of skin care products, what kind of jadeite, what kind of mahjong tiles, what kind of official hat chair, what kind of sofa... really has everything that one expects to find, let Xiao Nan look at it, almost blinding her 24k krypton eyes.

If it was only these things, Xiao Nan would not be sure that Xiao Hui was a plane merchant.

One day, the person Xiao Nan sent to investigate Xiao Hui came back and reported that Xiao Hui often ordered people to buy large quantities of good porcelain, gold and silverware, gold embroidery, calligraphy and painting, and exquisite lacquerware, etc. Xiao Nan's mind suddenly recalled Xiao Qi's seemingly loyal yet treacherous smiling face.

Right now, Xiao Nan was very sure that her concubine sister had neither been transmigrated nor reborn, but had received a big pie from the sky—the Plane System.

Since Xiao Hui is a plane merchant, she must be able to get something that is not available in this time and space, such as various useful teaching aids for future generations.

After exchanging a few words with Xiao Hui, Xiao Nan asked tactfully: "Sister, you also know that I want to open a college, but I still lack some teaching aids. The Hu merchant who supplied you with knowledge and knowledge, Can you ask him to help find one or two?"

Xiao Hui came here today to ask Xiao Nan for something, but she came here unwillingly.Although some things after returning to Beijing made her see the reality clearly, since she got that 'Qibao', her mentality has undergone a complete change.

She clearly knew that she should do certain things, but the self-esteem suddenly born because of "Qibao" always made trouble, making her always feel awkward even when she bent down.

Especially for the aunt and sister.

And for today's matter, she had to ask Xiao Nan, and she had to lower her posture even more, but her self-esteem popped out again.

Hearing Xiao Nan's words now, Xiao Hui heaved a sigh of relief. Xiao Nan also had something to ask of herself. It's an equal deal.

Therefore, Xiao Hui said very straightforwardly: "Look at you are still so polite, hehe, just tell me if there is anything you want me to do, as long as I can do it, I will definitely do my best."

Xiao Nan's eyes flickered, maybe it was her illusion, but she saw the feeling of looking down from Xiao Hui again.

Slightly hooking the corners of his lips, Xiao Nan explained his request, and then said: "At present, this is all I can think of. If that Hu merchant finds any better teaching aids, he can bring them back together... The price is not a problem. , mainly because things are good.”

Xiao Hui didn't have any idea about what Xiao Nan described, but there was a magical little maid in her rare treasure, and there was almost nothing in the world that could trouble her. up.

If it was in the Qibao, she would just exchange it for it, and then quietly order someone to transport it into the capital under the name of that non-existing Hu merchant... These are not difficult, she has done it countless times.

"Okay, I will order someone to write a letter to him when I go back, and Feige will send the letter there,"

Xiao Hui narrowed her eyes on purpose, pretending to be counting the time, and said with some embarrassment: "However, this time around, the time may be—"

Xiao Nan guessed Xiao Hui's identity in his heart, but he couldn't say it clearly, so he followed suit and said, "It's okay, as long as he can find it and bring it over as soon as possible."

After talking about this, Xiao Nan remembered to ask Xiao Hui why she came here. She pretended to be surprised and patted her forehead, and said: "Look at me, I only focus on talking about my own affairs, but I forgot about sister. Hehe, sister, you What's the matter today?"

Xiao Hui had already decided to wait until she got the things before making a request, so she concealed her intention of coming today, deliberately gave Xiao Nan a sideways look, and said angrily: "Sure enough, I'm so busy that I'm dizzy, don't you think I'm a sister?" , Sister came to see my sister, do you have to have something to do?"

Xiao Nan raised his eyebrows slightly, and said in his heart: You are a person who doesn't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and you suddenly came here today, you must have something to do.Now it's the wolf with the big tail upside down.

Forget it, since people don't talk about it, then she is happy to be at leisure.

Smiling embarrassingly, Xiao Nan diverted the topic away, and asked, "By the way, is brother-in-law's errand settled yet?"

The smile on Xiao Hui's face froze, and then she smiled and said: "Well, the eldest brother has already helped to inquire. However, the whole capital is busy with the 'big exam' recently, and many things cannot be settled. I guess it will take another one or two months to find out. The result."

She said this against her will, because with her husband's level, she couldn't get involved in the 'big test' at all.Even if all the court officials got dizzy because of the fraudulent examination case, and the Prince and the King of Wei fought fiercely, the city fire would not affect Xie Xian, a fish in the pond.

Xie Xian's errand can't be settled for a long time, mainly because the couple are too picky.

As the elder brother, Xiao Bo has already done his best, and even went back to the ancestral house to ask his grandfather to write a recommendation letter for his sister-in-law, but Xiao Hui and Xie Xian are a bit of a couple with high standards but low goals.

They look down on those who are low-ranked and not noble enough; but if everything is satisfactory, he is not qualified enough.

After tossing around for so long, even Xiao Bo became a little impatient, and once even blurted out: "... Suchun entered the imperial examination and directly entered Dali Temple, and he never thought that Sizhi was not noble enough... The Cui family is a family of the top class. , Suchun's grandfather and father are both husbands..."

Xiao Bo didn't say the following words, but the meaning was very clear: the lords of the Cui family of Boling all relied on their own efforts to become officials, and they didn't pick and choose when they became officials. What's so great about you Xie Xian? Even better than Cui Shizi? !
Although it was just a drunken remark at the time, it was extremely harsh in Xiao Hui's ears.Her greatest wish in this life is to overwhelm her sister-in-law and strive to live a better life than Xiao Nan.

In the past, the situation was stronger than others, and Xiao Hui didn't dare to ask for extravagance; but now it's different, she has Qibao as her backing, why is she still not as good as Xiao Nan?

Not to mention the imperial seals, no matter whether it is her husband's family, the lord, or the children, she has no place better than Xiao Nan.

When Xiao Nan asked about her husband, Xiao Hui's pain point was once again poked, it's no wonder she has a good face.

Originally, Xiao Hui wanted to tell Xiao Nanxian how the business of the Qizhen Pavilion was booming, but after hearing this topic, she lost interest, agreed a few words in displeasure, and left.

Although Xiao Hui was in a bad mood, she didn't delay her business. After returning, she entered the plane space. With the help of the system assistant, she found a plane merchant who provided modern teaching aids.

According to the 'procedure', Xiao Hui deliberately waited for four or five days before coming to Cui's house again and telling Xiao Nan that there were goods in stock, and within a month, those blackboards, erasers, chalks, triangular rulers and other things would be shipped to the capital.

In this way, with Xiao Hui's help, Xiao Nan installed exquisite terrazzo blackboards for the college, and each classroom also had a complete set of teaching aids such as triangle rulers.

It's okay for others to see these things, but Zhou Meng also came to watch the excitement when he heard that Principal Xiao had brought new teaching aids.Oh, no, only laymen watch the fun, but Zhou Meng is an expert. When he saw the enlarged version of the triangular ruler, compasses, counting chips, etc., his eyes flooded immediately, and he squatted down in the classroom to study it.

The teaching materials and teaching aids are also in place, and the only thing left is to recruit students.

In fact, the work of enrolling students is almost done. Xiao Nan has already done a good job of publicity in the early stage, and also sent invitations to famous people in Beijing, inviting everyone to visit Jiwei College.

She believed that as long as everyone looked at the layout, facilities and top gentlemen of the college, they would definitely send their children here enthusiastically.

Of course, before the parents came to visit, Xiao Nan had to arrange the class schedule.

Therefore, Xiao Nan has been very busy, and she didn't make all the preparations until the visiting day agreed on the invitation.

Early this morning, after Xiao Nan and Cui Youbo finished eating, they went to Jiwei College next door to the east.In order to show solemnity, the couple deliberately went out through the gate of Rongshou Hall, and then entered the college through the newly built gate of the college.

The gate of the college is very grand, Wutou Gate, there is no vertical halberd in front of the gate, but three flagpoles are erected, each with a flag embroidered with the logos of Jiwei College, Qiusuo Hall and Deyin Hall. Today is windy, and the three flags are fluttering in the wind, and the three distinctive logos can be seen from afar.

Standing on the steps of the door, Uncle Cui glanced at the flag with satisfaction, there was no surprise, this was suggested by Xiao Nan again, and he didn’t see the finished product at that time, Uncle Cui didn’t understand, he just thought it’s not a big deal to erect a flagpole at the door , and did not violate the taboo, so he did not veto the lady's proposal.

I saw it today, well, I have to say, the effect is really good, very stylish, and very unique, Cui Youbo is sure that the invited guests will be impressed after seeing it.

Sure enough, when all invited guests came to the gate of the college, they would be attracted by the three flagpoles and three flags.

Not long after, a young man in an indigo Hu suit with the college logo embroidered on the lapel came up to him, checked the invitations, and respectfully led the guests into the gate.

Most of the visitors were couples, or a family of three with a six or seven-year-old child. They followed the servants and marched all the way into the academy.

As they walked, everyone sighed in their hearts: Tsk tsk, it is indeed a famous hall created by the princess of Xiangcheng, but it is just a school, and it is so exquisitely built.The size of the college is not small, they have been gone for a quarter of an hour, and they have only reached the atrium.

The boy leading the way at the front was still introducing: "Behind the atrium is a garden. There are rockery, waterside pavilions and Tingxin Lake in the garden. The classroom is on the side of Tingxin Lake...Look, sir, this is the garden..."

Everyone followed the servant's hand to look over, and they saw a rather large and ingeniously designed garden.

Of course there are sharp-eyed ones, who not only saw the garden, but also the open space on the side of the garden, and immediately pointed to the open space and asked, "What is that? A training ground?"

Because when Xiao Nan sent invitations to everyone, he also sent a copy of Jiwei College's enrollment brochure.

In the brochure, Xiao Nan introduced the situation of Jiwei College in detail, and also roughly mentioned the teaching content of the college—the six arts of a gentleman, namely, ritual, music, archery, imperialism, calligraphy, and mathematics.

Since there are archery and defense, it is reasonable for the academy to open up a martial arts arena.

The young man bowed his body, saluted politely, and then replied: "I want you to know that it is a 'garden', where vegetables, fruits, rice, millet and other crops are grown. The martial arts arena is located in the teaching building. later."

As he spoke, the servant stretched out his hand and waved it to one side, saying: "Masters, ladies, lords, ladies, please go this way!"

When they heard that it was a vegetable garden, everyone lost interest and continued to follow the boy to the teaching building.

The teaching building is said to be a building, but in fact there are not many floors, only two floors.

Everyone first walked into the middle room on the first floor, because this room is the largest in the whole building.

The boy introduced as he walked: "This is a big classroom, used for public classes."

As for what is a public class, Xiao Nan also introduced it in the brochure that Xiao Nan sent to everyone. It is a special subject of Jiwei College, that is, the class taught by celebrities and guest lecturers.These include subjects such as literature, history, calligraphy, painting, and law.

Everyone nodded in understanding and walked into the classroom one after another.

The big classroom is really big enough, it is as big as three wing rooms combined.

There is a piece of black glass on the wall directly in front of the room, and in front of the glass is a long table with pens, ink, paper and inkstone and a wooden box on it.The wooden box has no lid, and the contents of the box can be seen at a glance, which are closely arranged chalks.

At this time, Xiao Nan came up to meet her, followed by a large group of men and women.

After Xiao Nan greeted each other with everyone, several groups of guests gathered together one after another. She continued to explain to the guests: "This place can accommodate a total of 260 students to take classes together... After the school starts, Mr. Wei will have the first class. right here……"

"Princess, can the little lady attend the class together?"

The person who asked the question was a young woman in her thirties, and beside her was a six or seven-year-old little loli, who was blinking her watery eyes and looking around curiously, obviously curious about this new environment.

Xiao Nan smiled slightly, and said: "During public classes, male and female students attend classes together. However, Mrs. Lu, don't worry, there are special screens in the big classroom, and the servants will prepare properly before class begins."

The Lu family is a well-established family with the most important etiquette. They were willing to send their daughter to the academy mainly because of the face of the three celebrities.

However, if the college's preparations are not comprehensive and there may be violations of etiquette, no matter how many celebrities there are in the college, the aristocratic family will not send their daughters here.

Xiao Nan himself is a member of this circle, of course he knows their taboos, so he is very well prepared.

Sure enough, Mrs. Lu didn't say anything after hearing this, but she was already a little more satisfied.

Xiao Nan led everyone to the next few classrooms, followed by special classrooms such as the library, laboratory, painting and calligraphy room.

The size of these classrooms is not large, only one-third of the large classroom.But the layout is equally exquisite, the windows are all made of glass, and the lighting is excellent.

On the other side of the classroom is Tingxin Lake, with weeping willows on the shore, blowing gently with the breeze, bringing coolness.

Some parents stand in an empty classroom, looking at the bright sunlight shining through the glass, and can't help but imagine that reading in such a room is definitely a kind of enjoyment.

After turning over a dozen classrooms, the one that impressed everyone the most was the library.

There are tens of thousands of books here, including out-of-print ancient books and rare books. Not to mention showing them to children, even those parents (especially male parents) can’t move, and they can’t wait to stay in this library. read.

When Xiao Nan saw this, he seemed to have expected it, and said with a smile: "This is only a part. In the future, after the printing bureau prints out new books, we will add more from time to time. These books are all borrowed by students for free. Of course, if you want to copy it, you can—”

When everyone (mainly the male bankers) heard it, they immediately smiled. The world knows that the family has a long history, and a very important symbol of the family's inheritance is the collection of books.

At that time, Cui Youbo and his wife built a book library in Luoyang, and provided tens of thousands of books for scholars to borrow.It is said that the books in Zangshu Pavilion are only a small part of the Cui family's collection, and the Cui family also treasures a large number of ancient books from the pre-Qin and Han dynasties.

Now that the Cui family has opened Jiwei College, and judging by the posture of the young Cui family, they probably want to make the college better and bigger, so they will definitely bring Cui's collection of books to the college continuously.One is to benefit the students, and the other is to increase the bargaining chip of the college.

If Cui Shi is willing to take out the books, then he only needs to send one child to school, and then his family will have a chance to get Cui Shi's book collection.

Damn, this deal is too good, even if it's not for celebrities, but for these ancient books, they still want to send their children (anyway, there are many children in the family, so just send a young child here).

After hearing Xiao Nan's words, the people present were thinking in their hearts.

After introducing the classroom, Xiao Nan led everyone to look at the student dormitory and cafeteria.

Xiao Nan led everyone to a row of small courtyards. The size and layout of these small courtyards were exactly the same, and they were all small quadrangle courtyards.However, unlike ordinary houses, these small courtyards do not have a main house, and there are three rooms on the north, east and west sides.

The furniture and furnishings in the room are all the same. Among the three houses, the one in the middle is the living room for receiving guests, and the two sides are the bedrooms.

Xiao Nan introduced one by one: "All the dormitories are the same... In the middle is the common main room, and each student lives in a bedroom alone... There is a maidservant next to the courtyard gate, responsible for the safety of the small courtyard..."

Although this arrangement can't be called luxurious, it's not shabby either. After all, housing in the capital is expensive, and many families live in the same household for several generations. The juniors may not be able to occupy the entire yard alone at home.

It's normal to live in the same courtyard with brothers and sisters.

Everyone has no objection to this.

The only question is, "There is no servant's room here?" Where do the personal servants and maids live?

Xiao Nan smiled, and said: "Students of Jiwei College are not allowed to bring their attendants into the school, they have to do everything by themselves."

Speaking of this, Xiao Nan began to talk about the specific requirements of the college.

But this time Xiao Nan was much more serious, and invited all the guests to the big classroom. She stood in front of the blackboard, picked up a piece of chalk, and wrote the school rules of Jiwei College: what boarding, closed management, what college Access control, what is the college's holiday system, what is the college's examination and promotion system, what is the visiting time of parents...

There are many requirements and they are very strict.

One by one, Xiao Nan listed them on the blackboard with a very neat thin gold body.

Some female parents have already shown hesitation. No matter how bad their own family's situation is, their children will grow up with gold and jade, and servants and servants.Now let them act like pariahs and have to do everything by themselves, which is too wronged for the children.

Seeing this, Xiao Nan didn't explain, and continued to talk about his request, and finally added a note, during the enrollment period, which student (or parent) violated the school rules, it doesn't need to be too much, just three times, then the college will dismiss the student .

After Xiao Nan finished writing all the requirements, some parents already wanted to quit.

Xiao Nan didn't stop him, and directly stated that he must abide by the school rules after entering Jiwei College. If anyone doesn't approve, then he can leave now.

hula~~
Stand up for a half.

Xiao Nan also said that once you enter the college, you must approve the teaching methods of the gentlemen and the management model of the college, and you are not allowed to drop out at will.Those who disagree can leave now.

hula~~
Another third stood up.

In the end, Xiao Nan only accepted 120 people, 92 boys and 28 girls.

"That's right, I thought that nine out of ten parents would leave after listening to the school rules, but I didn't expect that there would be one third left..."

Xiao Nan was very satisfied with this result, she sat in the study, holding an almanac, and prepared to delineate the day when school started.
