Liu Er's Extra Story (31)
On the way to Fujian, Liu'er thought about whether to recruit students after finishing the school first, or to recruit students while asking the husband to buy a house? But when she arrived in Fujian, she found that she couldn't do anything for the time being, because she was not acclimatized.
There were two basins of ice in the room, but it was still too hot. Liu'er lay on the bed and yelled, "Youlian, bring me another bowl of sour plum soup to drink."
Youlian didn't agree: "Princess, you've already had a bowl and you can't drink any more." If you drink too much of this thing, you will definitely have diarrhea.
I have a bad appetite and feel very tired. Hearing that the cicadas from outside refused to listen, Liu'er was extremely irritable: "Send someone to catch all those cicadas for me."
Because of Liu Er's words, the servants in the mansion were immediately busy.
When Feng Zhixi came back at night, seeing Liu Er who was weak, he asked worriedly: "Is it better today?"
Liu Er shook her head.
"If you really can't get used to it, go back to the capital when you feel better!" It is indeed much hotter than the capital, and he felt a little uncomfortable when he first came here. But after half a month, I got used to it.
Liu Er shook her head and said, "It will be fine in a while." At this time, Liu Er was really envious of Zao Zao. Zao Zao is afraid of heat, but she can run all over the world, unlike her who is not acclimatized.
Feng Zhixi felt a little regretful: "If I knew it earlier, I wouldn't have let you come." From getting married to now, Liu'er has never been like this, lethargic and listless.
Liu'er lacked energy and didn't want to say anything.
In the middle of the night, Feng Zhixi heard painful groans. After waking up, she realized that something was wrong with Liu Er. After lighting the lamp, I saw Liu'er's complexion was crimson.
Feng Zhixi touched Liu'er's forehead, it was hot. Feng Zhixi's drowsiness disappeared immediately, and he yelled outside: "Come on, hurry up and call the doctor."
On the second day of Liu'er's illness, Jiaojiao came to visit her and cried without letting her get close. Because Jiaojiao was so good at crying, Feng Zhixi let Liu'er look at him closely. As a result, Jiaojiao developed a high fever that afternoon and evening.
Feng Zhixi had no choice but to take a few more days off to take care of his wife and children at home. Fortunately Brother Ying was not sick, otherwise Feng Zhixi would have died of worry.
Soldiers come like a mountain, and illnesses go like silk. After Liu'er recovered from her illness, it was already half a month later. After recovering from the illness, the symptoms of acclimatization to the soil and water disappeared.
Liu Er and Feng Zhixi said: "If you want to be transferred in the future, either go to Jiangnan or return to Beijing. I won't go to other places." question. As for other places, she didn't have the courage to try again.
This time Liu Er really suffered a big crime. Although she had three children, Liu'er took good care of her, and her face was still fair and smooth like an eighteen-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: "Okay, if we can't make it to Jiangnan, let's go back to the capital." It is definitely impossible to stay in Fujian for a long time, and he will leave in six years at most.
Qiuhu was rampant, and Liu'er didn't want to move after recovering from illness. The matter of finding a house and converting it into a school was left to Qiuyue, and Shuixia was left to find a female teacher and a female school helper.
It wasn't until the weather turned cooler in early October that Liu'er's spirits improved. When the body recovers, school affairs will officially be put on the agenda.
Liu'er held a wine tasting banquet, and invited officials and wives of Fuzhou rank five or above to come to the mansion to taste her self-brewed fruit wine. This fruit wine was brought by Liu Er from the capital.
The purpose of the wine tasting banquet is very simple, to tell everyone that she is going to run a women's school.
An official lady asked carelessly: "Princess, I don't know what this girls' school teaches?" She heard that there are many girls' schools in the capital, but she didn't know what they were studying.
Liu Er explained with a smile: "Reading, reading and writing, as well as the rules and etiquette of piano, chess, books, and etiquette. In addition, there are arithmetic and stewardship, as well as teaching martial arts. Reading, literacy, etiquette, and stewardship are the main ones. The piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, and martial arts are for children. interest of.
If the child doesn't like it, he doesn't have to learn it. "
"Princess, I don't know how much Shuxiu is a year?" If Shuxiu is not expensive, she would also like to send her daughter to a girls' school.
Liu Er said, "One hundred taels a semester."
The wife's husband is surnamed Zhao, and he is a Qianhu of the fifth rank. Zhao Qianhu has no foundation and climbed up from the bottom. And Mrs. Zhao is also an ordinary peasant girl. The whole family, old and young, lived on Zhao Qianhu's salary.
Mrs. Zhao has a straight personality and can’t hide her emotions. Hearing this figure, she gasped: “So expensive?” His family’s master’s salary is only fifty taels a month, and if he wants his daughter to go to a girls’ school, he has to get rid of nearly ten taels a year. One-third of the salary. The whole family, young and old, all point to this bit of chewing!
In fact, the salaries of today's officials have been greatly increased. For example, in the Zhou Dynasty, the monthly salary of a thousand households of the fifth rank was only thirty taels. Today's salary is almost double that of the previous dynasty.
Many officials' wives also feel that the tuition is expensive when they hear this, but they dare not say it like Mrs. Zhao.
Liu'er didn't care too much, and said with a smile: "I want to run this girls' school, and I hope that more girls can read and write. One hundred taels of silver is a lot for a semester, but you will know when the time comes, how much money is spent on it?" value."
At night, Feng Zhixi heard about this and said: "Liu Er, the tuition fee is too expensive. There is no comparison between here and the capital."
Liu Er said: "I will teach them piano skills and chess by myself, Madam Gu and the others will teach everyone etiquette, and let Qiuyue and Shuixia teach them martial arts." In addition, Liu Er also invited four female gentlemen. These female gentlemen each have their own strengths. Because she doesn't plan to recruit more students for the time being, four gentlemen are enough.
This lineup is worth one hundred taels of silver, but Feng Zhixi was worried that Liu'er would not be able to recruit students. "
Liu Er smiled: "You are wrong about this. As long as you really care about your child and have enough money, you will definitely send your daughter to a girls' school." One hundred taels of silver is a lot, but most people can still easily Take it out. Because some of the officials are really living on their salaries. In private, I will definitely do business or have other sources of money. As long as it is not for corruption and bribery, the court will not take care of it.
Hearing this, Feng Zhixi laughed loudly: "Then I have to work hard to earn money." He only has eighty taels of silver a month, which is not enough for his daughter's tuition for one semester.
Liu'er rolled her eyes at Feng Zhixi, and said, "You think you can enter my school if you have money? You have to pass the exam. If you fail the exam, let alone a hundred taels, I won't accept even 10,000 taels. "If it was a piece of rotten wood, she wouldn't accept it.
"The threshold is really high. Even if people are willing, I'm afraid they won't receive many students according to your request." Fujian is no better than the capital, and even if they are girls from official families, few have ever studied.
Liu Er smiled and said: "I plan to accept thirty students, but it doesn't matter if I don't receive so many. After a year when everyone sees the changes in these children, I don't want to accept them, and they will try to find ways to send their children Entered my women's school." Like Wenhuatang. In the beginning, many people were worried and did not dare to sweep Yuxi's face. In the first year, they just sent the girl who was not valued at home to go to girls' school. When these children change their appearance in the school for a year, everyone is eager to send other girls to Wenhua Hall. It's a pity that there are only so many places in Wenhuatang, and if you fail the assessment, you won't be able to enter even if you want to.
Feng Zhixi understood right away: "You're putting a long line to catch big fish."
Liu'er despises Feng Zhixi: "What does it mean to cast a long line to catch big fish? I just don't want to ask you to read more books on weekdays." She also said that she has studied with her husband for more than ten years, and she doesn't know where to go. up.
Feng Zhixi laughed and said, "As long as you are knowledgeable, that's all. If you don't understand, I can ask you."
On the first day of enrollment, Qiuyue said, "Princess, twenty-five girls are here to sign up today."
After three days, there were 113 people who signed up.
This number was far beyond Feng Zhixi's expectation. Feng Zhixi was very suspicious and said: "How come there are so many people? Maybe there are not so many girls from Fuzhou's fifth-rank officials and above?" There is obviously a problem with this number.
Liu'er laughed and said, "When did I say that we only recruit girls from officials of the fifth rank and above?" She only invited the female relatives of officials of the fifth rank and above to participate in the wine tasting banquet, but the recruited students did not require that they must be girls from official families. . Girls from country gentry and merchants can do the same.
Feng Zhixi couldn't help laughing after hearing this, he really took it for granted.
"Thirty out of one hundred and thirteen people will be accepted. Isn't this acceptance rate too low?" It's less than a quarter, and Feng Zhixi thinks that the number of people admitted can be increased.
Liu Er said: "Thousands of people participated in the test, but only 300 people were admitted in the end! Don't you think the acceptance rate of the test is too low, and then increase the number?" She invited four female gentlemen, how can I teach? so many students.
How can these two things be compared, Feng Zhixi said: "Anyway, your goal is to let these girls read and write, so don't be so strict."
Liu'er has always been strict with her requirements, and if she doesn't meet the requirements, she would rather not teach. But she won't say these words, she just said tactfully: "As long as my girls' school is done, Fuzhou will not only be a girls' school in this family."
Feng Zhixi laughed and said, "I thought you were going to do something special!" He also thought that Liu'er was planning to encourage all the women's families in Fuzhou to send their girls to the women's school she founded to learn and read. As a result, it was not the case at all.
"If I have to do everything myself, I won't be exhausted." Of the more than ten schools in the capital, only four schools were founded by Yuxi. Everything else is done by other people. Because there are more requirements for running women's schools, although some people do it for profit, these women's schools are generally doing well.
Feng Zhixi said with a smile: "I don't want you to be tired." After speaking, he leaned forward.
Since Liu'er got sick, she has been vegetarian. This time it's rare to have meat, so I can't hold it anymore. As a result, Liu'er was so tired that she almost collapsed.
