Chapter 1743

Liu Er fanwai (31)

on her way to Fujian, Liu Er thought about whether to finish all the schools before enrolling students, or invite her husband to buy a house while enrolling students? But when she arrived in Fujian, she found that she couldn't do anything for the time being because she didn't agree with the local conditions.

There are two pots of ice in the room, but it's still too hot. Liu'er, lying on the bed, cried out in a low voice, "you Lian, give me another bowl of sour plum soup to drink."

"Again lotus didn't agree:" princess, you already drank a bowl can't drink again I drink too much of it. I'm sure I'll have diarrhea.

The appetite is not good, the body is very weak. Hearing the cicada's voice outside, liu'er was so upset that he couldn't help it. "Send someone to catch all those cicadas."

Because of Liu er's words, the servants in the mansion are very busy.

When fengzhixi came back at night, he saw Liu Er, who was weak and worried, and asked, "how are you today?"

Liu Er shakes her head.

"If you can't get used to it, you can go back to the capital when you're better." it's really much hotter here than the capital. He's a little upset when he just came here. But after half a month, I got used to it.

Liu Er shook her head and said, "I'll be fine in a while." At this time, Liu Er really envies the dead dates. Jujube is afraid of heat, but it can run in all directions. Unlike her, she would not be acclimatized.

Feng Zhixi regretted: "I knew I wouldn't let you come." From the time of marriage to now, Liu Er has never been like this. She has no spirit.

Liu Er is not in enough spirit to say anything.

In the middle of the night, fengzhixi heard a groan of pain. When I woke up, I realized Liu ER was wrong. After lighting the light, liu'er's face turned red.

Feng Zhixi touched liu'er's forehead. It was very hot. Feng Zhixi's sleepiness suddenly disappeared. He cried out to the outside, "come, please call for the doctor."

The day after liu'er fell ill, Jiao Jiao came to see her and didn't let her cry. Because Jiao Jiao cried so much, Feng Zhixi let liu'er have a close look. As a result, Jiao Jiao had a high fever that afternoon.

Fengzhixi had no choice but to ask for more days off to take care of his wife and children at home. Fortunately, brother Yinger is not ill. Otherwise, Fengzhi would have to worry to death.

Soldiers come like a mountain, but when they are ill, they go like a thread. It's been half a month since Liu Er got well. After the disease is cured, the symptoms of acclimatization are gone.

Liu ER and Feng Zhixi said, "if you want to transfer later, you should either go to Jiangnan or go back to Beijing. I'm not going anywhere else. " The water and soil in Jiangnan are good. It's OK to stay there for three months last time. As for the rest, she had no courage to try again.

Liu Er really suffered a big crime this time. Although she has three children, Liu Er is well maintained and her face is still as white and tender as an 18-year-old girl. Now because of the 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 then, we will go back to the capital." Fujian can't stay long. It will leave in six years at most.

The autumn tiger is rampant. Liu'er doesn't want to move after he's cured. Find a house and turn it into a school. It's up to Qiuyue to find a female teacher and a female school helper, and shuixia to do the chores.

It was not until the early October that the weather got cold that Liu er's spirit got better. When you are well, the school affairs are officially put on the agenda.

Liu'er held a wine tasting banquet, and invited the official ladies of Fuzhou who are above five grades to taste her own fruit wine in the mansion. Liu Er brought the wine from the capital.

The purpose of wine tasting is very simple, that is to tell people that she wants to run a female school.

"Princess, I don't know what this woman is learning and teaching?" asked a lady She heard that there are many female schools in the capital, but it's not clear what to learn.

Liu'er explained with a smile, "reading, reading, reading, reading, playing, chess, rules and etiquette, as well as arithmetic and stewardship, also teach martial arts. Reading, character recognition, etiquette and stewardship are the main rules. The children's interests include zither, 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 it will be repaired in a year?" If it's not expensive, she would also like to send her daughter to study in women's school.

Liu said, "one hundred Liang a semester."

The wife's husband, surnamed Zhao, is a family of five kinds. Zhao Qianhu has no foundation. He climbed up from the bottom. And Mrs. Zhao is also an ordinary peasant woman. The whole family lives on the salary of Zhao Qianhu.

Mrs. Zhao's character is straighter and she can't hide her emotion. Hearing this figure, she took a breath: "so expensive?" His master's salary for a month is only fifty-two. If he wants his daughter to study in a female school, nearly one-third of his salary will have to be removed every year. The whole family points to this!

In fact, the salaries of today's officials have been greatly increased. As in the Zhou Dynasty, the monthly salary of the thousand households of Wupin was only thirty-two. Today's salary is almost double that of the previous dynasty.

Many officials and wives feel that the tuition is expensive when they hear it, but they dare not say it like Mrs. Zhao.

Liu'er didn't care, and smiled and said, "I hope more women can read and read in this school. A hundred liang of silver is quite a lot in a semester, but then you will know that the money is worth it. "

In the evening, Feng Zhixi heard this and said, "Liu Er, the tuition is too expensive. There is no comparison between here and the capital. "

Liu er said, "I teach them to play piano and chess by myself. Mother Gu teaches them etiquette and rules, and then let Qiuyue and shuixia teach them martial arts." In addition, Liu Er also invited four female gentlemen. These ladies and gentlemen are good at each other. Because she is not going to recruit more students for the time being, four gentlemen are enough.

This line-up is worth one hundred Liang silver, but Feng Zhixi is worried that Liu Er will not be able to recruit students. "

Liu Er smiled: "you are wrong about this. As long as you really love your children and have plenty of money, you will surely send your daughter to study for you. " A hundred liang of silver is quite a lot, but most people can easily take it out. Because some of the officials live on their salaries. In private, I will definitely do business or have other ways to get money. As long as it is not corruption, the court will not take care of it.

Hearing this, fengzhixi laughed: "then I have to work hard to earn money." He has only eighty Liang silver a month, which is not enough for his daughter's tuition for one semester.

Liu Er took a white look at fengzhixi and said, "do you think you can enter my school if you have money? You still have to pass the exam. If you fail in the exam, let alone one hundred Liang, I will not receive ten thousand Liang. " She won't take a piece of rotten wood.

"The threshold is really high. Even if people want to, according to your request, I'm afraid they won't receive a few students. " Fujian is no better than the capital city. Even the girls of the officials have not read books.

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 uneasy and afraid to sweep Yuxi's face. In the first year, they just sent the girls who were not valued by their families to study for girls. When these children change their faces in the school for a year, people are eager to send other girls to Wenhua school. Unfortunately, there are so many places in Wenhua hall. You can't get in even if you can't pass the examination.

Feng Zhixi understood at once: "you are fishing for big fish with long lines."

Liu Er despises Feng Zhixi: "what is long-term fishing? You are not willing to read more books." He also said that he had studied with his husband for more than ten years and didn't know where he had read all the books.

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, there are twenty-five girls to apply today."

Three days later, 113 people came to sign up.

This number is far beyond fengzhixi's expectation. Feng Zhixi doubted: "how can there be so many people? There may not be so many girls in the family above the official of Fuzhou Wupin, right? " This figure is obviously problematic.

Liu'er said jokingly, "when did I say that I would only recruit girls above the five grade officials?" She only invited the women of officials of five grades and above to the wine tasting banquet, but the students she enrolled did not require that they must be girls of officials' families. The same can be said of the girls of the gentry merchants.

Feng Zhixi couldn't help laughing after hearing it. He took it for granted.

"Is the enrollment rate too low for 113 people to admit 30?" Less than a quarter of them, Feng Zhixi felt that he could increase the number of applicants.

Liu er said: "thousands of people took part in the meeting, and only 300 people were admitted at last! Do you think the admission rate is too low, and then increase the number of people? " She invited four female teachers, who could teach so many students.

How can these two things be compared? Fengzhixi said, "anyway, your purpose is to let these girls read and read, so don't be so strict."

Liu Er is always demanding. If she doesn't meet her requirements, she would rather not teach. However, she would not say these words, but said politely: "as long as my female school is done, Fuzhou will not only be the female 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 in Fuzhou to send the girls from her family to study and read. As a result, this is not the case at all.

"If I want to do everything by myself, I will not be tired to death." Of the ten schools in the capital, only four were founded by Yuxi. Others, all by others. Because there are many requirements for running women's schools. Although some of them are for profit, these women's schools are doing well as a whole.

Feng Zhixi said with a smile, "I just can't bear that you are tired." With that, lean forward.

Liu Er has been a vegetarian since she was ill. It's hard to cook meat this time, so I can't control it. As a result, liu'er almost broke her waist.
