The skilled widow is busy farming

Chapter 187

A roomful of women gathered together to eat hot pots, fresh stick bones, chicken skeletons and seafood broth, which were used to scald vegetables and meat.

Sliced ​​mutton slices, beef slices, and fish fillets, etc. The dishes are fresh vegetables sent from our own farm, which can be eaten as soon as they are boiled. They are paired with rice, noodles, salty snacks, side dishes and cold dishes, plus Two or three hot dishes.

There are not many simple things, more refined, but they are all original dishes and not too extravagant.

"Come and have a taste. This is the abalone brought by the boat. It's quite big. Let's eat it too."

"Thank you, sister-in-law. We eat a lot at home. The food in school is really good. We can often eat such good food."

"It's so good."

"Well, the teacher has the final say in the school. He said that the money of the school will not be divided into accounts, and the villagers will not be allowed to worry about it. The students will be given good food, good use, and money spent in the right place. Didn't our family choose some good men to go to? If you want to learn martial arts, you have to keep up with the food, these are all arranged by the teacher himself."

"I want to go home and have a look."

Xu Jing also pouted. She also had a very good impression of the Li family. The people were hardworking, brave, hospitable, and very friendly to their daughters-in-law.

"The accounts and property of the school have been separated for a long time. Now there are a few shops and many fields. It mainly provides students with food, study, and things for study, including medicinal materials needed for martial arts. However, according to the assessment, they can advance, mix food, etc. They will be kicked out of the school. The money earned by the school is used to buy medicinal materials, pens, ink, paper, and books, or to reward students who have achieved fame."

"It's right to separate."

"Yes, Sir, those who go out will more or less give back to the clan school. They only ask for things but are unwilling to give. They will not give any support in the future, and they will be recommended by the school for their future prospects."

Xiaoya, Xu Jing and others looked at each other. Auntie is getting more and more powerful. The school does not support the students in vain. The students must also give back to the school, including the future, forming a perfect closed loop, supporting the clan to produce more talents and restraining them. With the rules and upbringing of Miss Erlang, such children will not make big mistakes when they go out, and they can also support the clan and make it prosperous.

This mobilizes the entire clan to cultivate capable sons and daughters. Parents must be grateful to the school and the clan. If they have money and are able to contribute, clan cohesion will follow closely.

Once Erlang's future was well understood, the villagers basically attacked wherever they wanted without hesitation.

"We plan to buy another big Zhuangzi as a gift to the school when we go back. Your brother and I have already discussed it. We just want to see where is the best place to buy the Zhuangzi?"

"You don't have to buy it at home, you can go further away. You can focus on Jiangnan. There are many literati and talented people in Jiangnan. I also heard from my husband that it would be great if Jiangnan Academy could accept children from our school, sir. I care about Jiangnan very much. I always plan to set up property in Jiangnan. You can’t go wrong buying there. I’m sure I won’t blame you, sir. With our family members there to help take care of it, you can’t go wrong.”

Xiaoli has been following Xiu Niang for a long time and knows a little about Xiu Niang's thoughts.

"I understand. Then I'll come back and talk to your brother carefully."

"Well, sending my son to Jiangnan Academy has always been something that my husband has been thinking about. She said whether it is good or not is someone else's opinion. We have to go there and experience it for ourselves. Don't be afraid of making mistakes. You have to try and make mistakes to find the right one. Road, imitating a cat and imitating a tiger will not work.”

This sentence is a paraphrase of Xiu Niang's words, which means that it is not practical to just bring things from a famous family. The Li family must have their own experience and experience. Only those who have made their own way can be reliable, and others can't do it. You may not be able to take it, and you won’t be able to give it any day.

"I didn't hear my mother talk to me about this last time I went back."

Xu Jing pouted.

Xiaoli smiled and said, "Sir, I'm afraid that my sisters-in-law will be in trouble. What can you do? Why don't you go back to your parents' home to ask for permission? They won't give it to you. You can go back to your parents' home to ask for some things, but it's useless to ask for some things, especially when it comes to your son. The future can only be exchanged and not forced. The sisters-in-law are our own wives. Naturally, I, the Li family, will protect and care for me. How can I be looked down upon and criticized by others? How can I bear it, sir?" "This is what my mother told you. "

"Well, when my sister-in-law came back, I asked my husband. I said my sister-in-law's family is also from a famous family. Why don't you ask my sister-in-law? There is someone in her family at Jiangnan Academy. My husband taught me a lesson."

Xiaoli stuck out her tongue.

"I say that I love my daughter-in-law. There are not enough quotas for my son-in-law. How can I give you a favor? Your sister-in-law will be ignored when she goes back. Why should you be criticized inside and outside? The word propriety is the most rare thing when getting along with relatives. I also taught you I have a lot.”

Xiaoli shook her head, feeling very proud.

Yulan pursed her lips and her eyes were red. It turned out that her aunt knew everything.

Yulan went home a long time ago to inquire, but was rejected by her father. She had no choice but to dare not speak out. She just pretended that she didn't know about it and thought she was pretending. She didn't expect that her aunt knew everything, but she felt sorry for herself. Feeling wronged.

"Okay, don't cry. It's not difficult. Let's figure it out ourselves, whatever."

"The fourth brother in the clan is going to Jiangnan to serve as the county magistrate. My husband and I have been talking to him for a long time. I guess there is something about this. Sisters-in-law, don't worry. My husband said that this is a matter for men. All sons and daughters who leave the academy are all If you want to find a way for the school, no one can run away, and you can't leave the responsibility to the ladies, that would be useless."

"Yes, I'll find a solution with your brother."

Yulan sighed, this matter is not easy to handle.

Talking and laughing, a group of people sat together and chatted with their stomachs full. The maid made some hawthorn tea.

The three girls told interesting stories about the school, which was fascinating. Not to mention that the three girls were indeed talented girls. They had learned solid skills and read the books thoroughly. They could pick up on anything they said. It was not difficult to quote the classics. His eye expressions and dexterity in speech are pleasing to the eye.

It may not be as powerful as Qing'er, but it's not shameful to step forward and it can help the family. Li Rui's vision in selecting people is still right.

Such a conversation also allowed the sisters-in-law to understand the three clan girls better, and they knew what kind of family they could find.

A few days later, someone visited Xiaoya, and Xiaoya received her. She got to know her. Her son was a Juren, and he was as old as Xiaoli. It was said that his grades were quite high, and he was considered a young underachiever with some talent. Xiaoya didn't want to miss it. , meet them all, this is a native of the capital, has been for three generations, and has his own house and land in the capital.

"Madam, your face has been glowing recently. Is there anything good you can do?"

Xiaoya went to the door to greet the lady in person. She was several years older than her and several years younger than her aunt.

"What's wrong with me? I'm here for my son's marriage. My daughter has taken a liking to your younger sister, the eldest one."

Her daughter married well, her husband has a bright future and a bright mind, and the family has accumulated a lot. Her husband is from the Qingliu school and is now a fifth-rank official. She met Xiaoli and the others at the Lu family's banquet last time.

"Oh, is it?"

Xiaoya smiled slightly and didn't say much.
