The ultimate rebirth of the abandoned woman

Chapter 517 Li Rong Wants to Leave Beijing

As someone who has lived in modern times, Xiao Nan subconsciously thinks of September [-]st when it comes to the start of school.

However, this day does not apply in Datang.

First of all, in the Tang Dynasty, September was the busiest month in the capital, because according to the regulations of the imperial court, the assessment of officials, such as the big test and the small test, started in September.

Most of the non-local officials return to Beijing to report on their work in September.

In addition, this period of time is also a day when weddings in the capital get together.Not to mention others, even Xiao Nan took time out of his busy schedule to attend N dark ceremonies.

And the students of Jiwei College are basically the children of powerful families. When school starts in the chaotic season of other people's homes, not only the parents don't care about it, but the students also don't like it.

And now it's mid-September, even if you want to relive the feeling of your previous life, it's already a good day.

Cui Youbo saw that Xiao Nan almost broke the almanac and hadn't settled it yet, so he said with a smile: "It doesn't need to be so troublesome, just fix New Year's Day."

New Year's Day, the first day of the year, has a pretty good meaning, and it is customary to use the first day of the new year as the starting point of a cycle in this year.

Xiao Nan shook his head, "Not good, New Year's Day is still a holiday."

In ancient times, there was also an annual holiday. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the court was closed, but you, a small college, have all the people here to hold the opening ceremony, playing with the students, right?

Cui Youbo thought so too, he is a civil servant of the imperial court, so he knows the vacation system very well.

After thinking about it, Cui Youbo suggested again: "Then, then the Lantern Festival will be celebrated, and school will start on the eighteenth day of the first month?"

Because according to the regulations, there will be lantern festivals on the three days before and after the Lantern Festival, and even the curfew in the capital has been lifted. Many people are partying all night, and it is not appropriate to start school these days.

When Xiao Nan heard this, he lowered his head and thought about it, but he still felt that it was inappropriate. There is a word for "holiday syndrome" in modern times. The Lantern Festival has just passed, and the children are still enjoying the aftertaste. Such a college can easily arouse children's rebellious psychology.

Cui Youbo doesn't understand these things, he just thinks that the lady is too cautious, isn't it just the beginning of school day, what to pay attention to so much.There is no child psychology these days. Everyone agrees with the rhetoric that a strict teacher makes a good student, and a stick makes a filial son. Some things, the adults have settled down, and the children are just obedient.

However, seeing Xiao Nan being so solemn, Cui Youbo felt that the lady might value the academy too much. Thinking about it, this is the first time that the lady has done such a big thing in front of people. Although the lady has done some business in the past, what new The shopfronts in Nanshi City and Nanshi City, as well as the Ci'an Thatched Cottage, but those were all done by Xiao Nanyin behind the scenes and ordered people to do it.

And it was the first time for Xiao Nan to stand in front of hundreds of people and explain things like on the visit day.

Maybe, maybe the lady really regards the academy as her career.

Seeing Xiao Nan concentrating on his thoughts, Uncle Cui suddenly felt a little guilty. His wife had been married to him for seven or eight years, and she was always thinking about him. reputation.

The lady has done so much, almost all for him and the children, what about herself?
Cui Youbo knew very well that Xiao Nan's talent was no less than his own, and at that time it was also a dynasty where women could be famous. If Xiao Nan was as public as some women, perhaps, she would have become a generation of "talented women".But Xiao Nan didn't, she not only didn't, but instead used her talents to help him and Cui Shi to make a name for herself.

Maybe Xiao Nan has some small thoughts, but Cui Youbo is grateful to her, especially the matter of Xie County, he deeply understands the difference between a wife and a beautiful concubine.

Originally handing over Jiwei Academy to Xiao Nan was just a stopgap measure.Seeing that she is so devoted to the preparation of the school now, Uncle Cui couldn't help thinking that 'it's not bad to hand over the academy to a lady'.

Here, Xiao Nan thought and thought, and finally made a decision: "Let's set it on the second day of February."

The dragon looks up, it’s the beginning of spring, and the implication is good, and by this day, all the festivals that should be celebrated are over. The children have been playing around for a new year, and they are probably bored. At this time, when school starts, the children may still be very active. , Looking forward to it.

Since Cui Youbo decided to completely hand over the academy to Xiao Nan, he had no objection to her decision, so he nodded immediately, "Okay, the second day of February is good."

Cui Youbo was more thoughtful than Xiao Nan. He even thought that Xiao Nan was the mistress of the family, and Chinese New Year was the busiest time. If you can avoid January, it would be good to start school in February.

Seeing that her husband had no objection, Xiao Nan swiped a pen, turned to the page on the second day of February next year, and circled it with a pen.

Then, she picked up a pen and added to the self-made memo.

After deciding on the start date, Xiao Nan continued to discuss other details with Cui Youbo.

For example, the style of school uniforms——

Xiao Nan thinks this way: "There are four sets of uniforms a year, one for sportswear and one for horse riding. As for the styles of the uniforms, in spring they are fine linen wide-sleeved robes, in summer they are monofilament blouses, and in autumn they are... "This is the uniform of the boys' school.

As for the girls' school, there are four sets of uniforms a year, but they are all skirts, the only difference is the material of the fabric.

On the contrary, sportswear and riding clothes are the same for boys and girls, that is, Hufu, but the sportswear is an improved version of Hufu, and the hem of the jacket is smaller and looser. At first glance, it looks a bit like the improved version of Hanfu in later generations. .

The horse riding suit is very handsome, with a large lapel, a wide belt around the waist, and black leather boots on the feet. It looks very capable at first glance.

Seeing Xiao Nan's sketches, Cui Youbo couldn't help but praise, "Well, they're all good. Husband, I really didn't expect that my wife is so powerful, and even the clothes are designed so beautifully."

Xiao Nan was a little embarrassed when he heard Cui Youbo's praise. Well, she also 'borrowed' some designs from later generations, plagiarized or something, as a time-traveling girl with a bottom line, it is not something to show off Son.

But when she heard the praise, she still couldn't help but feel a little complacent, pretended to smile modestly, and said: "Hehe, Mr. Lang praised you, I also saw it in a certain book. A little modification, as long as it looks good."

The husband and wife had a discussion, oh no, to be precise, it should be Xiao Nan's proposal, and Cui Youbo readily seconded it.

In this way, the two quickly agreed on many details.

Xiao Nan looked at the memorandum full of records, and suggested: "Mrs. Lu said that the college brochure we sent before was very good. This time, should we print some admission brochures and print all these specific arrangements? Make it up and distribute it to interested people in advance?"

On the day of the visit, 120 people were successfully recruited, but there were still some parents who were still in a state of hesitation. Xiao Nan didn't want to let this go, and wanted to fight for it again.

After all, there are still three or four months before she leaves school. Such a period of time is enough for her to come up with new tricks to 'seduce' those dignitaries who are not sure about it.

Cui Youbo nodded as usual, "Okay, the lady is the principal, you have the final say on everything."

Xiao Nan felt even more satisfied, when the mention of printing aroused another concern in her mind, she thought for a while, and said: "Well, but, after all, the printing bureau belongs to the general supervisor, so it's not good for us to always ask them to help." National resources.

Cui Youbo raised his eyebrows, and asked tentatively: "Young lady, do you want me to advise His Highness to allow the folks to build printing workshops?"

These days, printing is still a "high technology" monopolized by the state, and people with money and power cannot use it, because there are no skilled craftsmen.

Huh?This guy's reaction is getting sharper and his brain is getting better and better, Xiao Nan doesn't know whether this, this is a good thing or a bad thing.

Shaking her head vigorously to get rid of those messy thoughts, she nodded and said: "That's right, printing is only for practical use, and it's not conducive to implementation. Besides, now we have to print books and newspapers. It’s not enough to rely on a single printing office. If there are people like us asking for help, the craftsmen in the printing office will be even more busy.”

This is the official statement. In fact, after Xiao Nan passed the "brochure", he suddenly remembered that when he opened the academy, he needed to print a lot. If he bothered to do it every time, it would be too troublesome and inconvenient.

If she had a printing workshop at home, not only could she meet the needs of the college, but she could also print some books, open a bookstore or something, which was both elegant and profitable, why not?
Cui Youbo thought for a while, then nodded slowly: "Well, my lady is right, I will tell His Highness tomorrow."

Movable type printing was 'invented' by him, Cui Youbo, and the more widely it spread, the greater his reputation would be.

The same is true for the prince, because the printing technique was developed by the prince's confidants, and it was successfully printed under the care of the prince. Cui Youbo believed that the prince would not refuse the opportunity to make himself famous.

After negotiating about the college, the husband and wife began to talk about other gossip.

"By the way, brother Zhengze is leaving Beijing."

Cui Youbo picked up the teapot, poured Xiao Nan a cup, and said casually.

Xiao Nan was startled, she remembered that Li Rong once said that he would go to the Western Regions after getting married, she was too busy during this time, almost forgot about it.Well, so her spice business can also go on?

However, Uncle Cui didn't know about this matter, and Xiao Nan didn't think about telling him, so he pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Why? Isn't Cousin Rong newly married? Why is he suddenly leaving Beijing?"

"Well, speaking of it, it's about the Pei family's troubles," Cui Youbo added another cup of tea for himself, and said with some sympathy, "Pei Chonghui has been in a coma, and the imperial doctor went to see him several times, but he couldn't tell. The owner of the family ran to cry to the saint, saying that he was old and had only such an only son, but now..."

Xiao Nan frowned, and asked: "Could it be that the sage demoted Rong's cousin out of Beijing?" Probably not, Li Rong is so cunning, how could he let himself fall into such a situation.

Cui Youbo said: "That's not true. Although the sage sympathized with the Pei family, he was still angry. He didn't mean to punish Brother Zhengzheng. It was Brother Zhengze who heard that Pei Chonghui was critically ill and felt that he had done too much. He should accept the punishment of the law. I ran to the Taiji Palace to plead guilty and asked to be exiled for three thousand miles to rectify the court law."

Xiao Nan twitched the corners of his mouth, thinking to speak, Li Rong, you are a thousand-year-old fox, why are you so cunning...
