take a wife to support the family

Chapter 443 Taiping County Women's School

At the end of March, the grass grows and the warblers fly, the warm wind blows on the face, and the dust of the old year is washed away. After taking off the cotton-padded jacket and changing into a jacket, everyone feels relieved, and almost everyone has a smile on their faces.

The spring rain came just in time, soaking the black oily land, the light rain of apricot blossoms coupled with the melodious chant of the farmer yelling at the oxen to plow the field, can't help but grow a bit of poetry from the field, and the slightly blooming magnolia buds on the branches , refreshing.

Han Zhi stood under the magnolia tree and raised her head. She was wearing the same clothes as the girl's school, with her hands behind her back, she raised her head and tiptoed vigorously, and whispered: "Be careful!"

Xing'er climbed on a tall elm tree, with a small basket hanging on her waist, swinging from one branch to the other, when she heard Hanzhi gasp, she took the time to laugh and said, "Hide well under the leaves, I told you to hold an umbrella." If you don't want to, what can you do if you turn around and get wet?"

Han Zhi was begging for cheap, she finally went to school as she wished, she always felt that she was a great big girl, and she couldn't be like a child anymore, even the rain couldn't bear it.

However, she was only wearing embroidered shoes, and she was slippery when walking. If she hadn't met Xing'er, she didn't know what to do.

Xing'er was also surprised, she swung down from the tree, and while showing Hanzhi the magnolia petals and elm coins in the basket, she said, "Why are you wandering around by yourself today?"

Hanzhi stretched out a piece of elm money, wiped off the water on it, fed it to his mouth and chewed it carefully.Xing'er raised her hand to stuff herself, and passed it to her: "Come on, I'll take you back."

Hanzhi pouted: "I'm not going back to the dormitory, I'm going to find my second aunt."

Now Xing'er understood, most likely Han Zhi wanted to find Aunt Lily, ran out without saying hello to her sisters, and it was raining outside and the road was slippery, trapping her in the garden.

Today, the female student is taking a rest, and last night Xing'er went to find her mother, and the two of them slept together, and when Xing'er got up early in the morning, Xing'er came to pick flowers and eat them with a basket.Fortunately, she saw Hanzhi and led her to hide under the flower tree to hide from the rain. Otherwise, there would be few people outside on rainy days, and God knows when Hanzhi will hang around.

Hanzhi's feet were slippery, Xing'er was prepared early, wearing a pair of non-slip clogs, which were light and clean.With her holding her hand, Han Zhi was not afraid anymore, her two broken legs were flying fast, the two little sisters walked all the way, the spring rain and mist fell on their hair and eyelashes.

When she came to Lily's courtyard, when Mrs. Chang saw the two of them, she hurried in and said to Lily, "Sister Zhi is back."

It turned out that Yi'an and the others had noticed that her sister had gone out, but fortunately, she was in the girls' school, surrounded by Jin Yiwei guards, not afraid of her being abducted by others, Lily sent a few people to look for her, and she hasn't returned yet.

Han Zhile ran into it, shouting, "Auntie, I miss you so much!"

Zhaoren burst out laughing: "I just saw you yesterday, how can you think about it? I think you are afraid that the second sister-in-law will tell you about you, aren't you?"

Yi'an and the others looked at Hanzhi reproachfully.

Han Zhi wrung her little hands and said, "Mr. Liang said, if you don't see me in one day, it's like three autumns."

Lily shook her head and smiled: "You are not allowed to run around anymore, you just want to come to find me, or tell your sisters, or ask others to bring you here, how can you run around by yourself?"

Han Zhi was able to "run away from home" alone in the Eastern Palace. She thought she knew the way very well, but until now she didn't realize that she got lost more times than she really did: If she was really young, she would never walk the road once. Admit your mistake, once there is no one in front of Han Zhi, then only God knows where she will go.

The two children were covered in rain, and they had to change their clothes here, Lily quickly asked them to change their clothes: maids are not allowed in the girls' school, but all female students have to dress and wash by themselves, because they are afraid that they will be too lazy. Secondly, there are always a small number of families who can afford girls, and it is not good to be divided into different families as soon as they enter school.The house is cleaned by servants, so they don't need to do it.

These days, Han Zhi has learned how to put on clothes, but she still doesn’t know how to comb her hair. Xing’er combs her every day: No way, Yi’an and the others don’t know how to comb their hair. Xing’er only learned it after a few days of teaching. Only Hanzhi's hands are short, she can't even braid her hair, and she is still too old to teach.

Putting on dry clothes, Xing'er braided Hanzhi's hair again, and everyone gathered together to talk to Lily, one said to learn poetry from her husband, the other said that she was the best at archery, chattering non-stop.

Lily asked Zhaoren to watch them having fun, and took Xing'er's basket of petals to the kitchen, planning to make Yuqian rice and fry some magnolia petals to eat.

Ruzhen listened to the sound of books these days, and was unknowingly affected. Hanzhi recited poems for Zhaoren, and he followed suit, but he couldn't learn clearly, and shouted, "It's not easy to shop, it's like a hill!"

Hanzhi stomped her feet: "Don't make trouble for me!"

Xing'er and Yi'an have more homework and practice calligraphy under the window. The window lattice is inlaid with a large piece of transparent glass. When the curtain is drawn down at night, the outside cannot see the inside. When it is opened during the day, it is bright and beautiful.

Song Haonian took people outside to look for his niece. On the way, he heard people say that Xing'er brought Han Zhi back, so he brought people back, and when he entered the door, he smelled a fragrance, and said with a smile: "Today, let's eat steamed elm money?"

"The nose is really good!" The weather is so humid. After eating hot Yuqian rice and drinking a bowl of mutton soup with pepper, people are warmed up from the inside out.

The girls’ school in Taiping County was slowly on the right track. Within a month, everyone in Taiping County was used to female students wearing the same color of muslin clothes and combing similar hairstyles to come and go, or carrying schoolbags and laughing, or Groups of three or four took out a few pennies from their pockets to buy dried fruits and other things to eat.

Although these female students are daughters in the county town, they have been taught by their teachers at school, and they are immediately different from others: walking on the road, holding their heads high and smiling, they all know that they are female students and cannot embarrass their school parents.

On their clothes and schoolbags, there are emblems of Taiping County Women's School.This school was established in the name of the Empress, in the backcountry of Taiping County, where have I seen such a big person as the Empress?

Everyone described the queen as miraculous, as if she was the queen mother that day.Hanzhi once heard someone say: "The peaches eaten by the empress are all flat peaches, which bloom every 300 years and bear fruit every 300 years."

Others will ask: "The empress waited 300 years for a peach?"

"Aren't you stupid? 300 years ago, we planted trees every year, but now my mother can eat flat peaches every year?"

Hanzhi frowned and thought for a while: "The peaches eaten by the empress are also ordinary peaches, not flat peaches."

The two people who spoke were women sweeping the floor in the school, and they quickly apologized with a smile: "We don't know much, thinking about what your mother eats, it's almost like what a god eats."

Even if the people in the school are like this, people outside the school spread it even more miraculously. Fortunately, no bad words came out.

When the female students were walking on the road, Mr. Duxue spoke in a gentle manner. If someone was impatient and showed any rude words, everyone would laugh at her.

Although gentle, his voice is not like that of a mosquito humming. Even the most shy and timid child can talk to adults openly and gradually reveal his knowledge.

The girls with national surnames are assigned to different classes according to their ages, with Zhu Min'er as the head in daily life, going in and out together, eating and sleeping together.They have different temperaments, some have made friends with other people, and some are not yet willing to talk to people.

They especially live in the school. They are homeless, and they are a little sensitive. Who knows that sometimes the classmates talk about it, and the little girl next to them will envy them: "I want to live in the school like you!"

Students who live in the county go home more every day. After all, the family members are worried, so it is better to see it every day.The little girls are just at the age of fun. They have learned new things in school and made new friends. They wish they could stick together for twelve hours a day, and they will always be upset when they mention going home.

None of the female students gossips about the girls of the country's surname, and the sensitivity and suspicion of the girls of the country's surname have gradually dissipated, and they often have a smile on their faces, much more relaxed than before.

Among the children, Zhu Minyi was the oldest, and she was placed in the biggest class, but she had never read, her background was not very good, and her intelligence was average, so she was a little unable to keep up.

Fortunately, one of them was taught by Mrs. Lin, and the other was Mr. Gao. He was originally from a scholar family. After marrying into the clan, he couldn't live well. He asked the queen to preside over her reconciliation. This time, Princess Changping will send her husband to Taiping County. Ordinary noble girls are not willing to come, but Mr. Gao is very willing to leave the capital to relax.

This Mr. Gao is nearly 40 years old, he has no children, and he is relaxed, but sometimes he is bleak, so he is more relaxed when he treats little girls.

There were many things Zhu Minyi didn't understand, so she quietly wiped tears in the room at night, and told Zhu Miner to the people in the room with her, and Zhu Miner advised her to consult her husband more in her spare time.

Zhu Min said, "I'm so stupid, sir, I would be grateful if you let me listen to the lecture. If you disturb their quietness again, what will you do if the master gets angry and throws me out?"

Zhu Min Er always had his own ideas, and he said firmly: "When you are in class, you always pretend to understand. The teacher sees that you understand, so he will definitely not talk about it. I will ask you later, and you can't explain it. Isn't the teacher going to ask you to understand?" angry?"

Zhu Min nodded dumbly, and every time the husband asked her if she understood, she dared not say that she didn't understand, for fear of making him angry.

"You are right to listen to me," Zhu Min said. "In the future, if you don't understand something, just say you don't understand it. Ask Mr. Gao after class. Mr. Gao will not ignore you."

Zhu Minyi still didn't dare, Zhu Miner raised his eyebrows and said: "Even if you eat, you have to chew it yourself, and you still have to wait for someone else to chew it and feed it to you! We people, the imperial court rescued us from the pit of fire. If you are willing to settle us again, it will be a great kindness. You still think that the court will control you for the rest of your life? If you don’t learn more about how to live and live now, you will cry sometime!”

When Zhu Min was able to visit her in Jinyiwei, he insisted that he was abducted by a kidnapper and refused to accept his fate at that house. He was not the kind of submissive temperament, and there was still rigidity in his bones.She was pushed to the limit by her sister, and when faced with a question she didn't understand, she mustered up the courage to ask Mr. Gao, but unexpectedly, Mr. Gao would not be angry with her, and explained a long piece of it gently and clearly.

Zhu Min understood a question once and for all, so happy that he cried, he ran to find Zhu Miner, and assured his sister: "Don't worry, I won't wait for others to take care of me from now on. I studied!"

When Zhaoren and Baihe heard about this, they could only be happy: it is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish, and it would be great if the women of the country were willing to learn a skill.
