Chapter 68 Shortsightedness (1)

Yuxi called Han Gao over and said, "Really decide to go back to Beijing tomorrow?" It's unbearable for ordinary people to drive such a long distance in the ice and snow.

Han Gao nodded: "Depart early tomorrow morning."

Yu Xi didn't stop her anymore, and said, "In this case, I don't force you to stay. Take a good rest today, and I have something for you tomorrow morning."

Han Gao nodded and said, "Thank you Ma'am."

Yuxi took the booklet and looked at it for a long time, but there was nothing to get out of it. Yushi's words were too heavy for them to take them back, which would be an added burden. In the end, Yuxi didn't ask Han Gao to bring anything, but prepared some dry food for them: "Don't hurry, safety is the most important thing."

Han Gao took a stack of letters and put them on his body, and left with four guards. All five of them rode horses, and without a carriage, the speed was relatively faster.

After two days, it snowed heavily again. Seeing the goose feather-like snow falling, Yuxi said: "You said that there is nothing urgent in such a cold day, why is he rushing back in such a hurry!"

After hearing this, Mother Qu said, "Maybe it was too tragic before, it doesn't matter if they feel colder, the most important thing is safety." The robbers in this cold weather will not come out to rob, so they will be safe .

Yuxi sighed and said, "It's too far away." Yucheng is thousands of miles away from the capital, and it's not convenient at all.

Near noon, Yu Zhi came back from the outside, entered the inner courtyard, and said one thing to Yuxi: "Madam, the Qin Mansion dispatched many people today to send rice noodles and Meat, it's very lively outside right now."

Yuxi smiled and said: "This is a good thing." The Qin family is willing to give up money, and the benefits are the families of the soldiers who live in hardship.

Zijin said: "Ma'am, shall we give it too?" Zijin felt a little regretful, if Madam listened to her words, it would not make the Qin family more beautiful than before.

Yuxi shook her head and said, "There's no need to follow suit."

Zijin didn't understand why Yuxi didn't want to give them something to let them have a good year. Her wife is not such a stingy person!

Yuxi did not explain to Zijin.

The Qin family was generous this time, sending more than a thousand people in total, each with five catties of white rice and noodles, plus five catties of meat, some of which were mutton and some of which were pork. The people who got this thing were all overjoyed, and they were very grateful to the General's Mansion.

Neither did Jing Bai's family, not only hers, but everyone who went to school to study. Obviously, this was done on purpose. Jing Bai couldn't understand, and asked: "Mother, many students in the school are discussing why the Qin family will send rice noodles to everyone, but Madam didn't give it? If Madam also sends it, you can eat meat dumplings during the Chinese New Year."

After hearing this, Zeng's face changed slightly, and then he asked: "Then tell me, why did Madam send us rice noodles and meat?"

Jing Bai didn't think that it was wrong not to send rice noodles and other things. The things belonged to Madam herself, and she could give them as much as she wanted. How could such a thing be forced.

Mrs. Zeng pulled Jingbai to the kang and said, "Do you think five catties and one hundred meters of white flour and meat are better than you in the school?"

Jing Bai hurriedly said: "Of course it's not as good as it is." Not only does she eat ten catties of grain a month, not to mention she can read and practice martial arts. Well, there is a new set of clothes.

Mrs. Zeng touched Jing Bai's head, and said earnestly: "It's just a few catties of white rice and white noodles plus a few catties of meat, and it will be gone after eating. But what you learn in school can be used for a lifetime." For her daughter Zeng is very pleased with the change of time.

Zeng Shi and Jing Bai's life was also very difficult, very hard, and they didn't see minced meat for a month, but Zeng Shi was a strong woman. Her two older brothers both wanted to help her, but seeing that the eyes of the two sisters-in-law were not eyes and noses were not noses,

She refused her brother's help, and raised the child by herself, usually without asking for help. But when she heard that Yuxi opened a school where she could read and write, she went to her husband's former colleagues for the first time. It's not that Jingbai doesn't meet the requirements, but there are too many people, and if he doesn't find someone, he may be squeezed out. Sending her daughter to school and watching her daughter change day by day, she is very relieved and happy.

Jing Bai blushed a little: "Mother, I don't blame Madam for not bringing us anything. I just think that if Madam brings rice noodles and meat, you can have a good meal of meat dumplings!"

Mrs. Zeng was very pleased to hear this, but she still had to say what she had to say, otherwise it would be easy to go astray: "Bai'er, don't be fooled by other people's two or three words. No matter how you behave or do things, you can't be judged by others." You have to stick to what you think is right.”

Jing Bai nodded and said, "I see, mother." After finishing speaking, Jing Bai asked: "Mother, why do you think the Qin family will give everyone rice noodles this year? Didn't they send it in previous years?"

Zeng felt that her daughter was getting older, so she didn't hide some things from her: "Madam established a school and gained a good reputation. The Qin family can't let Madam be prettier, so they give everyone rice noodles during the Chinese New Year, so as to get everyone's gratitude. "However, the people who send their children to school are left behind. This kind of behavior is really disgusting.

Jing Bai understood immediately: "The purpose of sending things to everyone in the Qin family is not to let everyone have a good year, but to get everyone's gratitude?"

Mrs. Zeng nodded, patted Jing Bai's head, and said, "Also, Madam used her own dowry money to start the school..." Mrs. Zeng didn't say the rest. The child is still young and can't hide his words, so there are some things he can't say.

The Qin family was sending things like a raging fire. But some people looked at it with hot eyes, but those whose children entered the school did not receive financial support. The reason for the rejection is also very simple. You have already received help, so you have to save the opportunity for someone else. The temptation of five catties of rice noodles and five catties of meat is too great, and many people are tempted.

On this day, more than ten children did not come to the school. The adults didn't come to ask for sick leave, Hao Dazhuang was very worried, and while asking people to tell Yuxi the news, he also asked people to go to these children's homes to see if these children were at home. Hao Dazhuang was worried about the cold weather, if the child had an accident on the road, it would be bad.

After hearing the news, Yuxi frowned and said, "Is there a child in the school who is sick? Has the disease been transmitted?" If something happens, it is impossible for more than ten children to have an accident at the same time. It's fine if it's from one place, these dozen or so children are all scattered in every corner!

Yu Zhi shook his head and said, "No! Besides, these children practice martial arts and are in good health. Almost no one catches the cold. Even if there are very few people who catch the cold, they are all persuaded to go back." Zi Jin's temper was grumpy. , but Yu Zhi's temper is very gentle and patient. Therefore, all the children in the girls' school are handed over to Yu Zhijiao. This is also helpless, not only Yuxi, but also Yunqing can't find a suitable woman to teach.

Yuxi was a little puzzled: "Then why are more than a dozen children absent?"

An hour later, Yuxi knew the reason. After hearing the reason why the child didn't go to school, Yu Xi couldn't help laughing: "Just because of five catties of white rice and white noodles and five catties of meat, the child is not allowed to go to school?" Don't these people know how to settle accounts? There is a saying that goes well, half the children eat the poor old man, most of the children in the school can eat well, and these children still practice martial arts in the afternoon, so they eat more. There is a lot of food in catties, let alone big ones.

Yu Zhigang also found it unbelievable when he heard it, and repeated Hao Dazhuang's words: "These people said that they haven't had a good year for a long time. With the white rice, white flour and meat sent by General Qin's family, they can live a good year." It's been a prosperous year. Ma'am, these people's families are indeed too difficult. It's not unusual to have this idea."

After hearing this, Yu Xi looked at Yu Zhi, and asked: "Then how do you think to solve it?" Yu Xi did not deny that these people had a bad life, and did not blame anything, it was their own choice after all.

Yu Zhi hesitated for a moment, and said, "I think, if we also gave them some rice noodles and meat, such a thing would not happen."

After hearing this, Mother Qu's face changed a little. Speaking of the experience in the palace, Mother Qu had already practiced the ability to face a mountain collapse without changing her face, but today, because of Yu Zhi, she failed.

Yuxi laughed and asked: "Did Zijin say that she wanted to give rice noodles to these children, was it you who came up with it?"

Yu Zhi shook his head and said, "No, it was Zijin who wanted to help these children." Zijin just felt sorry for those children, and she had this personal experience, so she wanted to do her part.

Yuxi was a little relieved, she didn't want Zijin to be influenced by Yu Zhi, and she had no idea of ​​her own: "Help me pass a message to Hao Dazhuang that enrollment and withdrawal are only voluntary, so don't embarrass them. No more entry."

After hearing this, Yu Zhi was a little anxious: "Madam, how did this happen?"

Yu Xi looked at Yu Zhi, and said: "Leave if you want, and go back if you want. What is a school? Is it a vegetable market? There is no rule without rules. This kind of unhealthy trend must be stopped."

Yu Zhi said: "But it is adults who make decisions, not these children. These children are innocent." Why should children bear the consequences of what adults do, and the consequences are still so serious.

Yu Xi said expressionlessly: "Then they can only blame themselves for their hard life, meeting such greedy parents." If her guess is right, it should be the intention of the Qin family. These people must have been instigated by someone to take the child home for two days first, and then let the child go to school after receiving the things. This will make money. But once these children return to school, other children will definitely have their own thoughts, and some people may follow suit by then. If she condoned this kind of behavior, the atmosphere of the school would be ruined, and such a school would not last long.

When Yu Zhi heard this, he was at a loss for words.

Yu Xi is too lazy to talk to Yu Zhi now, she is soft-hearted and doesn't care about anything, she is really a guy with a simple mind and well-developed limbs: "Go!" Cough, I have to say, Master Yang's education has failed! She didn't know the first two, but she knew the level of Master Yang just by looking at the three of them, Second Brother, Yu Zhi, and Zijin. Fortunately, he was not allowed to go to school to teach children, otherwise he would have misunderstood his children.

ps: The last update. I have been tired for the past two days and want to rest early. Good night everyone. (to be continued)
