Beautiful step by step

Chapter 95

Wei Wei easily accepted Wei's mother's statement.When the sky fell, there was a tall one standing on top of it. Youzhou and Liangzhou each had their official governors' wives. She was a little town governor's wife. How could she ever get her to take over such a big matter.

What's more, in such a matter as taking over a car, perfection is the duty, and a mess up and a slight mistake will be a catastrophe.Earlier, she was only slightly hinted by Mrs. Qian, saying that she just came from the capital and should be able to help Mrs. Chu receive the noble ladies on this western tour.At that time, she was busy with business matters and didn't think about it deeply. By the way, she kept it in her heart and listed it as a planned project over time.

However, now that Wei's mother mentioned it, she realized that she had accepted it a little blindly.Fortunately, she woke up in time, and now she still has room to refuse.

After she was determined to push it away, she had extra time.It happened that Ah Tong woke up from a nap and went to the courtyard to fetch water to wash his face, put on his clothes tightly, and Wei Wei walked into the courtyard.

"A Tong, do you have anything else to do this afternoon?"

Putting down the water basin, Ah Tong stood up and walked towards her: "At first Ah Luo invited me to the Qian family's yard, but now... I'm afraid I won't be able to go."

"Since you are free, why not come to my room and help."

There are times when the goddess cousin needs her?Ah Tong showed excitement: "Of course, but I don't know much, so I don't know if I can help."

What does it mean that there are not many things?

Wei Wei recalled taking Ah Tong out for social gatherings twice. The first time she was at the Liangzhou government office, she talked about the tea ceremony with extensive references and brilliant literary talents; Come out, the logic is clear and specific, and a few words reversed Ah Luo's mind.

With a wide range of knowledge and strong execution ability, such a person will do well anywhere.

"Ah Tong, don't be so self-effacing. You can acquire a lot of things. In terms of reading alone, you are much better than me."

While talking, Wei Wei took out a handkerchief from her arms: "It's windy, you just washed your face, and the wind hurt your skin, wipe it off quickly."

Ah Tong took it, applied it on his face and wiped it off carefully.

"Since my cousin has said so, I'll try it first. If it doesn't work..."

"It's just teaching people how to write a few words. This is not a piece of cake for Ah Tong."

It's just reading and literacy. Is there anything simpler in the world than this?A Tong put his heart in mid-air back into his stomach.

Seeing that her face instantly became relaxed, Wei Wei, who brought in a right-hand assistant, felt a sense of accomplishment, but more powerless.Why is there such a big gap between people? Most people avoid reading, writing and doing homework, which seems to be a kind of enjoyment for Ah Tong?
Entering the west chamber with complicated thoughts in mind, Ah Yun was already waiting there.Beside the little guy, Gu Yu, who had just finished packing his lunch, had a bitter face.

"Girl, I'm really not material for studying, why don't you forget about it?"

Ah Tong showed surprise: "Whether Gu Yu is cooking and embroidering, or helping her cousin manage the affairs of the house, she has never made a mistake. Such a simple thing as reading, actually stumped you?"

Is reading really enjoyable?Resisting the little bit of jealousy, Wei Wei approved, and looked at Gu Yu reproachfully.

"Although reading and literacy is not as simple as Ah Tong said, it is not that difficult. Everything is difficult at the beginning, but once you get started, it will be easy."

Gu Yu bit her lip, does she have to learn?

Even if she didn't say it, Wei Wei understood what she meant.Seeing her in such a difficult situation, Wei Wei's heart softened for a while.But from the corner of her eye, she glanced at the crumpled piece of paper next to the book, and her hesitant heart instantly became firm.

The fight for women's rights has never been easy.The first step is to let the woman walk out of the square inch of the back house and see the outside world.

As the saying goes, it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books.But instant travel costs money, so most people will not be able to travel thousands of miles in their entire lives.In comparison, books are a relatively cheap way to acquire knowledge.

However, things are far from as simple as imagined.The girl from the official family is well-off and can afford to study, but her family education is strict, and she basically doesn't go out of the door.Generally, girls from other families have to help with the housework. Although they are minors, they already account for more than half of the labor force.

It's easy to buy some paper and pens for a few classrooms, but it doesn't mean that when she raises her arms and calls for everyone to receive education, all the towns and villages will beat gongs and drums to send children to her to go to school.She still doesn't have that domineering air.

Reality is the first hurdle before her ideal.

And the best way to resolve this hurdle is Gu Yu in front of him.To be precise, it was a woman with skills like her.

She wants women to understand the outside world, and education is the easiest and most effective way.But she never thought of opening a serious imperial examination school like ethnology or Guozijian. What she wanted to open was a technical school.

In technical schools, no matter they are girls, young girls, or married women and children, they can learn a skill according to their own talents.With the ability to earn a living, they can earn no less than men.The economic base determines the superstructure. Once the source of income is stabilized, they will be able to harden their waists and gradually realize their equal status.Generation after generation, one day they will wake up and are no longer satisfied with this world dominated by patriarchy.

This was her plan, and as part of the plan, Gu Yu had to change first.

But she couldn't tell Gu Yu completely about this matter.Although Gu Yu dared to resist being sold into a brothel by his parents, it was nothing more than that.She is not brave enough to dare to challenge the secularism for thousands of years.Tell her now, if it is good, it will scare her, but if it is bad, she will turn her head to persuade her.

Wei Wei even thought of the general content of the persuasion: "Ma'am, my uncle is not that kind of person. Ma'am is living a very good life now, and Wei's mother is very relieved, so why do you take risks?"

There are two points like this, one is that it has nothing to do with oneself, and the other is to put pressure on the aging mother Wei.As for these two points, she couldn't refute any of them.

"Ma'am, I really don't have a brain for reading. Miss A Tong is here to judge, and I'm just a servant girl. I just need to know how to work. It's useless to read so many books."

Ah Tong showed embarrassment, and seemed a little convinced.

Wei Wei woke up from deep thinking: "I didn't ask you to read a lot of books, at least you have to be able to read my dowry list. You can calculate the expenses of a lot of things such as house purchases, which is always the most basic."

After listening to her, Ah Tong nodded in agreement: "What my cousin said makes sense."

"A Yun already has the basics, and he is born to learn faster. It is indeed a bit frustrating for you to study with him. I think so, by the way, I also call Lidong who came here with my mother, and the two of you learn together. , is also like a high or low."

After finishing speaking, Wei Wei pinched Ayun's aggrieved face: "Silly Ayun, I'm just praising you."

Seeing the little guy's eyes brighten up again, Wei Wei looked at Gu Yu solemnly: "You are the most capable person by my side, don't be compared by the maid that mother brought along casually."

The four of Li Qiu were sent by the prince, and their arrival once posed a threat to Gu Yu's status.During the initial period, she subconsciously competed with the four of them.Although the relationship got better in the end, the heart of comparing each other has never changed.Now that Wei Wei proposed this idea, Gu Yu's fighting spirit was high for a moment.

Holding the same style of writing brush given by his wife, her heart was firm again.

Isn't it just writing a few words, just like what Miss A Tong said, such a simple thing as reading...Anyway, she must do better than Lidong!

Compared with Gu Yu, Lidong, who was professionally trained in Yaxing, is obviously more conscious of obedience.Wei Wei briefly explained the matter, although his face was a bit incomprehensible, he finally sat in front of Ah Tong and held the brush next to Gu Yu.

The three groups of people in the West Wing were busy in their own way. Although they would occasionally make noises to disturb each other, one person's concentration would always unconsciously drive the other.Under mutual supervision, the efficiency of the three groups has been greatly improved.After calculating an account book, Wei Wei turned to look at Gu Yu, compared with Li Qiu, her attitude was obviously much more serious than in the morning.

There was a satisfied smile on the corner of his lips, but a strange smell came from his nose, a bit like a burnt smell.
