Liu Er Fan Wai (31)
On the way to Fujian, Liu Er thought, is it better to recruit students after all the schools are finished, or to invite her husband to buy a house while recruiting students? But when she arrived in Fujian, she found that she couldn't do anything for the time being, because she was not acclimatized.
There are two pots of ice in the room, but it's still too hot. Liu Er lay on the bed and called, "you Lian, send me another bowl of sour plum soup to drink."
Youlian didn't agree: "princess, you have drunk a bowl, but you can't drink any more." It's too much to drink. I'm sure I'll have diarrhea.
I don't have a good appetite. I'm very weak. When she heard the cicada call from outside, Liu ER was very upset: "send someone to catch all the cicadas for me."
Because of Liu er's words, the servants in the house were very busy.
When Feng Zhixi came back in the evening, he saw Liu Er, who was very weak. He was worried and asked, "are you better today?"
Liu Er shook her head.
"If you really can't get used to it, you can go back to the capital when you are better!" It's really much hotter here than in the capital. It's hard for him to come here. But after half a month, I got used to it.
Liu Er shook her head and said, "it will be fine after a while." At this time, liu'er really envies the dead dates. Jujube is afraid of heat, but it can run all over the world, not as she would acclimatize.
Feng Zhixi had some regrets: "I knew I wouldn't let you come." From the marriage to now, Liu Er has never been like now. She has no spirit.
Liu er's spirit is not enough, so she doesn't want to say anything.
In the middle of the night, fengzhixi heard a groan of pain. When I wake up, I realize that Liu Er is not right. When I lit the light, I saw Liu Er blushing.
Feng Zhixi touched Liu er's forehead and it was very hot. Feng Zhixi's drowsiness suddenly disappeared. He cried out to the outside, "come on, please go and get a doctor."
The day after liu'er fell ill, Jiaojiao came to see her and didn't let her cry. Because Jiaojiao's crying skill is too strong, Feng Zhixi's heart is soft, so he let her watch Liu er. As a result, Jiaojiao also had a high fever that afternoon.
Fengzhixi had no choice but to take a few more days off to take care of his wife and children at home. Fortunately, yingge'er was not ill, otherwise Fengzhi Xifei would have been worried to death.
Soldiers come like mountains and diseases go like silks. After Liu Er got well, it was half a month later. After getting well, the symptoms of acclimatization disappeared.
Liu ER and Feng Zhixi said, "if you want to transfer in the future, either go to Jiangnan or go back to Beijing. I'm not going anywhere else. " The water and soil in Jiangnan are good. Last time I stayed there for three months, there was no problem. As for other places, she had no courage to try again.
Liu Er really suffered a big crime this time. Although she had three children, Liu ER was well maintained, and her face was still white and smooth, just like an 18-year-old girl. Now because of this disease, the whole person is more than three years old.
Feng Zhixi was also frightened by Liu er's illness: "OK, if we can't go to Jiangnan, we'll go back to the capital." Fujian certainly can't stay for a long time. It will leave in six years at most.
The autumn tiger is rampant, and Liu Er doesn't want to move after she gets well. Find a house, and then transform the house into a school. It's left to Qiuyue. Find a female husband and a female student to help her. Then it's left to shuixia.
It wasn't until the beginning of October that the weather became cool that Liu ER was in good spirits. With good health, school affairs will be formally put on the agenda.
Liu Er held a wine tasting banquet, and invited the official lady of Fuzhou, who was above five grades, to taste her own wine. Liu Er brought this fruit wine from the capital.
The purpose of the wine tasting banquet is very simple. It is to tell people that she is going to have a girl school.
An official lady asked, "princess, what does this woman learn and teach?" She heard that there are many female schools in Beijing, but she didn't know what to learn.
Liu Er explained with a smile: "reading, reading and playing chess, writing rules and etiquette, as well as arithmetic, housekeeper and director, and teaching martial arts. Reading, reading, writing, etiquette and stewardship are the main interests of children, such as piano, chess, calligraphy, painting and martial arts. If children don't like it, they don't want to learn. "
"Princess, I don't know how much a year?" If it's not expensive, she also wants to send her daughter to a girl school.
Liu er said, "one hundred Liang a semester."
The wife's husband, surnamed Zhao, is one of the top five families. Zhao Qianhu has no foundation. He climbs up from the bottom. Mrs. Zhao is also an ordinary peasant girl. The whole family lives on Zhao Qian's salary.
Mrs. Zhao's personality is relatively straight, and she can't hide her emotions. When she heard this number, she took a breath: "so expensive?" His master's salary is only fifty-two yuan a month. If he wants his daughter to go to a girl's school, he has to get rid of nearly one-third of his salary a year. The whole family pointed to this point to chew!
In fact, the salaries of today's officials have been greatly improved. For example, in the Zhou Dynasty, the salary of a thousand households in Wupin was only thirty Liang a month. Today's salary is almost double that of the previous dynasty.
Many of the official wives also feel that the tuition fee is expensive, but they dare not say it like Mrs. Zhao.
Liu Er didn't like it either. She said with a smile, "I hope more women can read and read in this school. One hundred taels of silver is quite a lot in a semester, but you will know that it's worth the money. "
In the evening, Feng Zhixi heard this and said, "Liu Er, the tuition is too expensive. There's no comparison between here and the capital. "
Liu er said, "I teach them the skill of playing zither and chess. Mother Gu teaches them etiquette and rules, and then let Qiuyue and shuixia teach them martial arts." In addition, Liu Er invited four ladies. These ladies are good at their own things. Because she doesn't plan to recruit more students for the time being, four teachers are enough.
This line-up is worth 100 liang of silver, but fengzhixi is worried that Liu Er won't be able to recruit students. "
Liu Er smiles: "you are wrong about that. As long as they really love their children and have plenty of money, they will send their daughters to school. " A hundred taels of silver is quite a lot, but most people can easily get it out. Because some of the official families really live on their salaries. In private, there must be business or other ways to get money. As long as it is not corruption and bribery, the court will not take care of it.
Hearing this, Feng Zhixi laughed: "then I have to work hard to earn money." He's only eighty taels of silver a month, which is not enough for his daughter's tuition for one semester.
Liu Er glanced at fengzhixi and said, "do you think you can get into my school with money? We have to pass the examination. If you can't pass the exam, don't say one hundred taels, I won't accept ten thousand taels. " If it's a piece of rotten wood, she won't accept it.
"The threshold is really high. Even if they want to, I'm afraid they won't get a few students according to your request. " Fujian is no better than the capital. Even the girls from the official families have few studies.
Liu er said with a smile: "I'm going to take 30 students, but it doesn't matter if I don't get so many. After a year, when people see the changes of these children, I won't accept them. They will try to send them to my girls' school. " Like Wenhua hall. At the beginning, many people were not at ease and did not dare to save Yuxi's face. In the first year, they just sent the girls who were not paid attention to at home to go to women's school. When these children change their face in school for a year, they all want to send other girls to Wenhua school. Unfortunately, there are so many places in Wenhua hall. If you can't pass the examination, you can't even get in.
Feng Zhixi immediately understood: "you are fishing for a long time."
Liu Er despises Feng Zhixi: "what is long-term fishing? You just don't want to read more books on weekdays." He also said that after studying with my husband for more than ten years, I don't know where this book has gone.
Feng Zhixi said with a smile: "as long as you are good at learning, you will succeed. I don't understand. I can ask you
On the first day of enrollment, Qiuyue said, "princess, today there are 25 girls coming to sign up."
On the third day, 113 people came to register.
This figure is far beyond fengzhixi's expectation. Feng Zhixi was very suspicious and said, "how can there be so many people? There may not be so many girls in Fuzhou who are officials of five grades or above. " There is obviously something wrong with this number.
Liu Er laughingly said, "when did I say that I would only recruit girls above five grade officials?" She only invited the wives of officials of five grades and above to attend the wine tasting banquet, but the students she recruited did not require that they must be the girls from the families of officials. The same can be said of the squire's girl.
Feng Zhixi couldn't help laughing after hearing this. He really took it for granted.
"113 people have accepted 30. Is the acceptance rate too low?" Less than a quarter, fengzhixi thought that he could increase the number of people admitted.
Liu er said: "when the examination was held, thousands of people took part, and only 300 people were admitted in the end! Do you think the admission rate is too low, and then increase the number of people? " She invited four ladies to teach so many students.
How can these two things be compared? Feng Zhixi said, "anyway, your goal is to make these girls read and read. Don't be so strict."
Liu'er is always demanding, but if she doesn't meet the requirements, she would rather not teach. However, she would not say these words, but said politely: "as long as my girls' school is well run, Fuzhou will not only be the girls' School of this family."
Feng Zhixi said with a smile, "I thought you were going to do something special!" He thought Liu ER was going to encourage all the women's families in Fuzhou to send their girls to the school she founded. As a result, this is not the case at all.
"If you do it all by yourself, I won't be tired to death." Of the more than ten schools in the capital, only four were founded by Yuxi. Others are all done by others. Because there are more requirements for running women's schools. Although some people are trying to make money, these women's schools are doing well on the whole.
Feng Zhixi said with a smile, "I just can't bear you to be tired." Then he leaned forward.
Liu Er has been a vegetarian ever since she was ill. It's rare to have meat this time, so I can't control it. Liu ER was so tired that she almost broke her back.
