Chapter 91 His Wife
The village chief immediately called men from various households in the village to discuss the matter of building a private school in the ground where the militia usually trains.

Since it was Sheng Jiaojiao's proposal to build a private school, Sheng Jiaojiao would naturally be in charge of the teaching. Naturally, there was nothing to say about it. Anyone in the village who wanted to read and write a letter was always Sheng Jiaojiao from the central government.

She was the most learned person in the whole village, which was recognized by all.

It's just because they are all poor people, and the whole village doesn't get a few letters to read or write all year round, so Sheng Jiaojiao is not busy.

The main aspect of everyone's heated discussion is how to build this private school and how big it will be.

This is naturally a big event, and it was quickly regarded by everyone as a century-old plan for the whole village, and it became the most important thing for the whole village.

Because before that, not to mention that Huangtu Village did not have a private school, even Huangshi Village and Huangguo Village, which were helping Huangtu Village, had never had a private school since the establishment of the village.

Because of Zhishou County's emphasis on martial arts over culture, there is only one private school in the entire Tiaoma Lake and the entire north of the county going north.

The fee is also expensive.

So throughout the night, representatives of every household in the village discussed the charging issue for the whole night.

The meeting was half over, and Qi Ada returned home exhausted. The next morning, when the family had breakfast, he said to Sheng Jiaojiao who was eating noodles with his head down:

"There was a meeting in the village yesterday, and it was said that our family is going to build a private school, and each family can provide a labor force to help, but the focus of the discussion is on the issue of fees."

He said earnestly:

"They asked me for my opinion. Naturally, the main thing is to ask you, girl, what do you think? Will this private school be built for us?"

This was the focus of the discussion last night. The people in the village were divided into two factions.

One group thinks that since the village is going to build a private school, it is natural to give free education to the children and girls in the village, while the other group thinks that it is too much to not restrain it. After all, Sheng Jiaojiao has no such obligation, and has been giving free lessons to the children in the village. .

So there was no result of the discussion last night.

The cold wind blew outside the window, bringing with it sand. The wind and sand fell in the yard of Qi's family, hit the branches and leaves of the trees, and were blocked by these branches, so the yellow sand did not rush into the house much.

In the Qi family's room, the air is rare.

Sheng Jiaojiao picked up the noodles with chopsticks, thought for a while, and said:
"If you really don't accept it, it doesn't seem like a long-term solution to teach for free all the way. How about it, uncle, I still need it, but we are not doing business after all. We only participate in the construction of private schools, so we don't have to deal with it." Now, if you don’t have a private school and you want to send your children to school, what should you do, what should you do.”

After another pause, Sheng Jiaojiao continued:
"There is another sum of money, which has to be agreed in advance. If this private school is to be set up, I am afraid that Mr. Zheng Jing will be hired to teach it. The money from the gentleman will be shared equally by all the children."

Her own energy is limited, and now she is a bit too busy to give free enlightenment to the children, and she even paid for it to find Mrs. Zhang to help.

If it is really a serious private school, the children will not only be enlightened, but also learn well, and really learn in depth on the road of learning, then the expenses will be high, and the money to hire a good teacher is not low.

So Sheng Jiaojiao had to discuss these things with the people in the village, and she might not teach in person in the future.

Knowing Sheng Jiaojiao's plan, Qi Ada went to the village chief's house the next day and told the village chief what Sheng Jiaojiao had said.

Without waiting for the village chief to reply, Qi Ada rushed back non-stop, drove the mules, and went to Tiaoma Lake Chen's medicine store together with Qi Aer, Qi Asan, and Niu Yuan to get the medicine.

In the contract Sheng Jiaojiao signed with Chen Adi last time, she agreed that she could get medicines from Chen's pharmacy at a very low price, and then sell these medicines to the military camp.

Sheng Jiaojiao didn't need to come forward to personally do this matter, it only needed Qi Ada and the others to pick up the medicinal materials every two days, and send them back again.

The military camp is fighting, and the consumption of medicinal materials remains high. The Qi family's meager price difference is already a considerable amount of money.

However, as soon as the three masters of the Qi family left the house, the head of Huangguo Village took Mrs. Tan and a group of old women with handicapped legs to the back of Dongying to see Tan Ji.

When the sentinel came to tell the time, Tan Ji, who was always calm, was startled.

He hurried out of the camp to greet him, looked at Mrs. Tan again, and asked:
"Auntie, what's the matter?"

Mrs. Tan looked embarrassed, pulled Tan Ji, and said "ah",
"Let's talk about your tent first."

Tan Ji's soldiers all around looked at him, it was really hard to say that this matter was related to Sheng Jiaojiao.

Tan Ji frowned, and led the head of Huangguo Village and his aunt directly into his camp.

Once inside, the head of Huangguo Village told Tan Ji about Sheng Jiaojiao's private school.

The old village chief was skinny, and he sat in Tan Ji's tent, sitting upright. Although he was getting old, he still had the posture of a soldier.

I only heard the old village head leaning on a cane and saying:

"Da Lang, you are now the first-class boy in our Huangguo Village. If your wife wants to run a private school, shouldn't you also consider the young boy and girl of our Huangguo Village?"

Within a few days, news that Sheng Jiaojiao was going to open a private school spread throughout the three villages in Jumping Horse Lake.

Before Tan Ji could speak, Aunt Tan said:

"Well, Jiao Jiao'er hasn't passed the door yet, and I've said it too. Village chief, we're not in a hurry."

"How can you not be in a hurry?"

The head of Huangguo Village leaned on crutches in grief,

"Mrs. Tan, Mrs. Tan."

Sheng Jiaojiao is about to pass, and Mrs. Tan should be promoted to wife. No one needs to tell her. The people in Huangguo Village have seen Mrs. Tan in the past few days, and they all changed their mouths and called her "Mrs. Tan".

In this regard, it seems that the people in Huangguo Village are more impatient than anyone in the Tan family.

Just listen to the village head's earnest words:
"Our village has withered like this. The three villages in Tiaoma Lake, just our village, is about to become a deserted village. If we can't revitalize the village, I'm afraid our Huangguo Village will disappear."

There was a private school in Jishang, but after Jishang was heavily guarded, that private school was also closed.

Even if the doors were not closed, in fact the private school would not be able to continue, because there were too many beams, and there were not many children in Tiaomahu who went to school there.

But the school that Sheng Jiaojiao wants to run is different. I heard that if she can participate in the construction of the school, her children can enroll for free.

I also heard an elderly mother-in-law say:

"Dalang, please tell your wife, although I am old, my wife, I still have strength, not to mention removing tiles from the house, but if you want me to build a house with bricks and carry a piece of wood, I can still do it."

The other woman also immediately said:

"My grandfather is gone from the war. I have worked so hard to bring up Erlang. He has also entered the military camp. I am afraid he will disappear. Now I have a grandson under my knees. If my grandson can go to school, he will become a scholar in the future , won’t you have more ways to survive if you get the top scorer in the exam?”

Everyone was chattering, and Mrs. Tan also looked at Tan Ji in embarrassment.

Mrs. Tan's everything is based on Tan Ji's wishes, Tan Ji insists on following the etiquette, Sheng Jiaojiao has not been married before, she is not his wife.

So Mrs. Tan still thinks she is Mrs. Tan.

And this girl hadn't passed the family yet, her husband's family started to make demands. Mrs. Tan really didn't want to do this, but the gang of Huangguo Village, old and young, were stuck in the Tan family's yard early this morning, so they must ask the Tan family to help .

Mrs. Tan really couldn't hold back the old and young in this village, so she had to take them on a walk to Dongying in the north of the county to ask Tan Ji for advice.

Tan Ji sat on the main seat of the camp tent, listened patiently, then slightly raised his sword eyebrows, and said:

"I don't know what Jiao Niang is thinking about this matter, I will send someone to take you back first, and tomorrow I will go to Jiao Niang to ask after I finish hunting live geese."

"But the live geese that Natse wants to use?"

The head of Huangguo Village asked Tan Ji, and when he saw his answer, he smiled and said:
"Your lady has always been spoiled, you should treat her like this, and only you can be worthy of her."

Although there was a little bit of an accident, when the news spread to the three villages in Jumping Horse Lake, everyone felt that it should be taken for granted.

No one dared to marry Sheng Jiaojiao, and only a mighty man like Tan Ji could keep such a stunning lady.

Tan Ji had a serious face, bowed his head, clasped his fists at the head of Huangguo Village, and corrected:
"Jiao Niang hasn't passed the door yet."

At this time, the people in Huangguo Village kept calling Sheng Jiaojiao "your lady", which made Tan Ji a little embarrassed.

She also somewhat lost face towards Sheng Jiaojiao.

He respects Sheng Jiaojiao, so he also hopes that everyone around him will not underestimate Sheng Jiaojiao.

"Hey, we are all vulgar, not as refined as your wife. Since she promised you, she will be your wife sooner or later, and she will be a member of our Huangguo Village in the future, and so will your wife in the future." For those who want to live in our village, if there is anything that needs our help, just ask."

There is a woman who doesn't care about those red tapes, and speaks very boldly and straightforwardly.

Faced with this situation, Tan Ji had no choice. There was a tinge of dark red on his bronze-colored face, but he calmly dealt with the people in his village, and sent someone to send Mrs. Tan, the village chief and others back to Huangguo village.

When his tent was finally cleared, recalling what the people in the village said just now, Tan Ji sat on a chair and couldn't help laughing.

Jiao Niang wanted to run a private school, and the people in his village impatiently entrusted him to be a favor. They were also afraid that things between him and Jiao Niang would last forever, so they couldn't wait to use a worldly perspective to assign him and Jiao Niang their names.

Thinking about it, Tan Ji felt a very subtle feeling in his heart.

His wife?Sheng Jiaojiao, his wife? !His wife! ! !
A day later, the head of Huangtu Village hadn't given Sheng Jiaojiao a letter of approval. In the afternoon, Qi Ming returned from Xiu Mu, followed by Chen Adi who looked like a tail.

Sheng Jiaojiao: "."

She stood in the yard, looked at Qi Ming who had a headache, and asked with her eyes: "Why is Miss Chen here?"

Qi Ming raised his hand and pressed his forehead, and whispered to Sheng Jiaojiao:
"Miss Chen, I don't know where I heard that I am taking a rest today, and I must bring her to find you."

Before his words fell, Chen Adi took Sheng Jiaojiao's hand affectionately, and asked:

"Miss Sheng, Miss Sheng, the weather is rare today, how about we go horseback riding?"

She really liked Sheng Jiaojiao so much, because Sheng Jiaojiao's letters to her were full of enthusiasm, and Chen Adi saw that she introduced Sheng Jiaojiao as her confidant.

It's boring for her to stay in the market, so she just came to find Sheng Jiaojiao.

Sheng Jiaojiao also had a headache for a while. Their family had donkeys, mules, and sheep, but they had no horses.
I heard Qi Ming say again:

"Speaking of which, I heard that brother Ji asked my elder brother to catch live geese today. I'll go to the team to borrow horses. Why don't we watch them catch live geese?"

As he said that, Qi Ming winked at Sheng Jiaojiao, Tan Ji was catching live geese for her.

Chen Jiaojiao's eyes lit up when she heard that live geese were going to be caught, and she asked Qi Ming,
"Your brother is the commander of the Qi Zhang Qi Battalion? I have never seen such a hero. Where are they catching live geese? But for whom?"

Turning to look at Sheng Jiaojiao again,

"Miss Sheng, let's go and have a look. You can ride the horse guarded by my family. I have only seen live geese that have been caught and sent to the woman's house as gifts before. I have never seen how to catch live geese. Let's go, let's go and have a look."

Sheng Jiaojiao didn't want to go out at first, but when she heard that Tan Ji wanted to catch live geese, was she really preparing for Na Cai?She couldn't stand Chen Adi's entanglement, so she could only say to Chen Jiaojiao and Qi Ming:

"Then you wait for me, I will prepare some food for big brother and them."

After finishing speaking, she went into the kitchen, took a basket of apples, and a few small skin bags and water bags, and handed them to Qi Ming to carry, and the group of three went out to the north of the county.

A long line of guards followed behind Chen Adi.

While on the road, Chen Adi heard Qi Ming say that Tan Ji was catching live geese for Sheng Jiaojiao, so she looked enviously at Sheng Jiaojiao on the horse,

"Miss Sheng is so happy. When you get married, you must send me a post. No matter where the world is, I will come to ask for a glass of wedding wine."

She has a generous and simple personality, and the eyes she looks at Sheng Jiaojiao are full of sincere blessings.

This made Sheng Jiaojiao couldn't help thinking of the past few days, except for the Qi family members who knew about it, everyone saw her and wished her sincerely.

Some talked about the beauty of a man and a woman, some said how powerful Tan Ji was, and some said what kind of a golden couple was married.

Sheng Jiaojiao had lived to the top of her life in her previous life, and she had never received so many simple and sincere blessings.

She smiled at Chen Adi, and asked Chen Adi while riding a horse,
"Miss Chen, why do you have more guards? But your father found out that you sneaked out?"

"As soon as our pharmacy was moved, my father found out, and they were all the ones who wanted to take me back."

Chen Adi was grinning, laughing wantonly on the galloping horse, and said:

"What's so good about Junnan? It's not as stubborn as you here, so I don't want to go back so soon."
