Mother Qu has a broader knowledge than Yuxi. After Hao Dazhuang left, she said to Yuxi: "Madam, even if you invite the gentleman, what about this book?" Even if you have money, you have to buy hundreds of the same books here. Can't buy it either. Yuxi thought for a while and said, "It's also simple. When the time comes, paste the big characters written on it and let them follow the instructions. I just want to help them through the cold winter. I don't need to recognize a few words by the way. So much attention is paid to them. Besides, it is not for them to take scientific examinations."
Mom Qu had no doubts after listening. It was Yuxi who suddenly became interested, went to the study, and began to write big characters.
Zi Jin looked at Yuxi's words and said, "Madam, your handwriting is beautiful, but all the boys who learn to read are boys. Is this plum blossom font a bit too feminine? Yuxi turned his head and looked at Zi Jin. Said: "Who said that only boys are taught? Girls can learn to read as well! "After saying this, Yuxi feels that the problem is coming again. If you let the girl learn to read, then you can't learn it with the boy. Moreover, the gentleman who invited is willing to teach the boy, but he certainly doesn't want to teach the girl.
Thinking of this, Yuxi said, "Then find two houses."
Mother Qu is more knowledgeable than Yuxi, and said: "If this is the case, then it will definitely attract criticism." There is no women's school in this world!
But Yuxi didn’t like to listen to this, and said, “What are you criticizing? If you want to criticize, let them criticize. I didn’t do anything to be disgraced. Besides, it’s just a winter. When the winter is over, it will be Broke up."
Seeing that Yuxi’s decision had been made, Mother Qu immediately said, “If you are looking for a house, it’s better to find a big one and a small one.” Mother Qu’s meaning is very clear. Three meals are provided, and you can read characters. If it is a son, it will be delivered in all likelihood. But it's not necessarily a girl, the young ones who can't do a job may send them to eat. Those who are older will probably have to stay at home and do some work.
Yuxi smiled and said, "If you are willing to send the child, then keep it. If you are unwilling to send the child to prove that the life is still going on." She just wants to do something good and accumulate some kindness, but she doesn't plan to be a great gift for the world. Good people. Furthermore, she doesn't have the financial resources.
Seeing that Yuxi had a good idea, Mother Qu didn't say more, she just reminded Yuxi: "Madam, let me tell the shopkeeper Hao." Otherwise, Hao Dazhuang definitely only accepts boys. Will accept girls.
Hao Dazhuang heard Yuxi say that the girls should also be accepted, but when the time came, the men and women were separated, and he was taken aback. But think about it, anyway, one sheep is to drive two sheep, it is male and female!
When Yun Qing returned to the mansion, Yuxi told him about it. Yun Qing was still wondering why Yuxi changed so quickly: "Why do you think of running a school?"
Yuxi said about Hao Dazhuang’s scruples at the time: “I thought at the time that children from poor families wanted to read and read but didn’t have a chance. There was nothing to do in this winter. They were all nestled at home. Come to the school to learn something? After three months, how can I learn a thousand or eight hundred characters. By that time, I should be able to understand simple things. "Military newspapers or something, that also needs to be literate!"
Yun Qing nodded and praised: "You have a good idea." Running a temporary school is several times better than sending cotton-padded jackets and trousers.
Yuxi said: "Thousands of thousands of deaths in this city are killed every year. If they are all delivered, we can't afford it. Moreover, this is just a new one, and there is no experience. It must be easy for Rui to make mistakes. So what I mean is to limit it to Within three hundred people." These three hundred people, including men and women.
Yun Qing knew that Yuxi meant that these three hundred children were chosen from the homes of his soldiers who died in battle. Yun Qing nodded and said, "You can handle this. If you are in trouble, just tell me."
Yuxi will be polite to others, but not polite to Yun Qing: "It's nice to say that the husband is a bit embarrassed about this matter. I have an idea, do you think it is feasible or not?" After that, Yuxi will take her previous I thought about it.
Yun Qing shook his head and said: "Your method for the little girl is feasible. But your method for the boy is not feasible. These children are naughty and have to find someone who can be held." After thinking about it, Yun Qing said, "This matter. Let me fix it!"
Yuxi smiled and said, "Okay!"
Hao Dazhuang's movements were very fast, and it only took three days to sort out the list and show it to Yuxi. Yuxi looked at the list and found that there were more than 260 boys and only 20 girls. The total number was exactly 300.
Hao Dazhuang said, "Madam, these children don't live in the same place. It's okay now, but it won't be a good idea to go back and forth every day if it snows. Those who are close can let them go back by themselves, and they can go far away. It's not very appropriate." The so-called not very appropriate is to be afraid of accidents. After all, they are all half-year-old children. But if they are not allowed to live there, there will be a lot of problems.
Yuxi smiled, it was not easy to do something. The school hasn't been opened yet, and there are so many problems: "Those who are close go home. It's too far to go. I'll talk about it then." If you really can't go back then, you can only let them stay. , But the number of people must not be too many. Otherwise it is not easy to manage.
Hao Dazhuang gave Yuxi a list of the things he was going to buy. The price and quantity were also marked on it, which was very clear.
Yuxi gave Hao Dazhuang a one thousand tael banknote and said, "When it's used up, tell me again." Doing good deeds is really a money-burning thing. Fortunately, it has only been three months and can hold on.
Hao Dazhuang took the bank note and asked Yuxi, "Madam, what about this gentleman?"
Yuxi said, "You don't need to worry about your husband's affairs. When things are handled properly, your husband will naturally have it." Yuxi didn't worry at all that he would misunderstand his children. Anyway, when the enlightenment comes, he will use the surname of a hundred families and the "Three Character Classic" and the "Thousand Characters". After learning these three books, this winter should be almost over.
Such a big move is hard not to attract attention. Even if Hao Dazhuang didn't say it, those who wanted to send their children to the temporary school would say it. Soon, no one in the upper echelons of Yucheng didn't know that Yuxi was going to set up a temporary school.
Grandma Zhao and Grandma Fu came to ask Yuxi at the same time. Grandma Zhao asked first: "Sister, what's the matter with your temporary school?"
Yuxi said briefly: "My mother used to tell me to accumulate virtues and do good deeds. I heard that many generals were in bad family conditions, and wanted to send some food, quilts, and other things. But when I think about it, these things can only be solved for a while. It’s difficult, and it can’t solve the fundamental problem. So I think of building a temporary school. In this way, these children can recognize a few words in the cold weather.
The second grandmother Zhao said, "Sister, the cost is not low!" With so many children, it would cost a thousand or eight hundred taels in a winter. Of course, this is only a conservative estimate.
Yuxi smiled and said, "These two hundred children are within my reach. If there are too many, then I can't stand it anymore."
Grandma Fu asked a very crucial question: "Does General Yun know about this?"
Yuxi nodded and said, "I'm doing good deeds. How can he oppose it?" This seems to be saying that Yun Qing opposes, but opposing is useless.
After hearing this, the second grandmother Zhao said, "Sister, I will do my best." The second grandmother Zhao is going to donate one hundred taels of silver. One hundred taels of silver said to Grandma Zhao that it was half a year's pocket money.
Yuxi smiled and shook his head and said, "It's only a few months, and I can still hold it. If my sister really wants to help these children, she will send some rice noodles to them to improve their food." Qian is definitely not allowed to do so. , It was only three months, she was not unable to afford it.
The second grandma Zhao responded readily: "Yes, I will buy more rice and noodles to send over." The second grandma Zhao grew up in the border town and knows more about the situation here than Yuxi. It's just that Yuxi can do these things, but she can't.
When Grandma Fu saw this, she smiled and said, "Then I will send some meat and vegetables to these children then." Ordinary people don't necessarily get meat once a month.
Yuxi smiled: "Wait until the school is established, let's go and have a look at that time." It's almost three months, and it's time to go out.
The second grandmother Zhao looked at Yuxi's already pregnant belly and said, "It will be snowing in a few days. It will be very slippery outside. You are still pregnant with a child, so you can't go out."
Yuxi smiled and said, "I will pay attention." But she didn't say that she won't go to the school to see it. The school I founded, I must have seen it before I feel relieved.
Grandma Fu said: "If you need our help, just speak up. As long as we can do it, we won't postpone it."
The second grandma Zhao also stated immediately. In fact, she also knew that Yuxi didn't even charge money, so what else could she do for her help.
Yuxi smiled and shook his head and said, "Not for the time being, but if there is, I will definitely not be polite to you." Although Yuxi is unwilling to owe favors, but if he really can't solve it, he will speak up.
Both of them came to inquire about the news, stayed for a while, and then left together. After going out of the door, the two rushed towards home respectively.
Zi Jin said with a smile: "Madam arrived in the northwest, and she was much more courageous, and she was no longer the same as before." Before, the lady did not dare to show her talents, and she dared not make it when she was angry. This high-profile act was really beyond her expectation.
Yuxi pursed her mouth and said, "You also know that those are the same." If you didn't keep a low profile and forbearance, you wouldn't have a peaceful life. Now it was different. She was no longer under the control of others, and she didn't have to be afraid of anything. Naturally, I can do whatever I want. Moreover, do more good deeds to accumulate a good reputation, and only benefits are not harmful.
