Madam Qin was startled when she heard this, then looked at Princess Rui and asked, "Sister, does Qingtian mean what I thought he meant?"
Princess Rui couldn't help laughing after hearing this. While helping Qingtian put on her clothes, she said, "You kid, didn't the emperor allocate money specifically for the girls' school? You even robbed your father, and it's not enough for you to spend."
"I don't need any money, aunt. I mean, if there's any old, out-of-date fabric at home, you can give it to the girls!"
"Don't tell me, I don't dare to say anything else, but this is quite a lot."
Princess Rui asked in confusion, "Didn't you take a lot of it from the storehouse at home? What do you need so much fabric for?"
"Mother, you don't know that when my grandmother was in charge of the girls' school, because the students she enrolled were all from poor families, many of them didn't even have a decent set of clothes.
"So the women's association will provide clothes to everyone at the beginning, and then we will hire people to teach them needlework so that they can learn to make clothes themselves. We will also provide them with fabrics on a quarterly basis so that they can make clothes and shoes for themselves after class."
Mrs. Qin looked at Qingtian in surprise: "I didn't expect that you would even notice these details."
Qingtian quickly said, "Actually, it was Master Lu who told me all this. She also took me through many old files.
“Master Lu said that she is where she is today thanks to the training she received at the girls’ school.
"She also hopes that the girls' school can be restored to the way it was when the Empress Dowager was alive, so that more girls in Da Qi who are unwilling to be mediocre like her can learn something, gain something from their studies, and become proficient in their studies."
"Madam Lu is indeed a remarkable woman in our Great Qi. Qingtian can learn a lot from her and gain a lot of knowledge.
"I've made note of this. Who doesn't have excess fabric in their warehouse? I'll invite some people over to my house and get more for you."
Upon hearing this, Princess Rui nodded repeatedly and said, "That's right. Besides those who are willing to take it, those families who have previously taken advantage of the girls' school and gained benefits must not be let off either. Let the prince punish them later. They must pay a heavy price."
Qingtian said happily: "Thank you, mother, thank you, aunt."
She had never expected that just because of her few words, Princess Rui and Madam Qin helped her collect several warehouses of fabrics from every household in the capital.
Later, someone reported the matter to the Queen, intending to appease the Princess of Rui and Madam Qin.
Who would have thought that the Queen Mother not only greatly appreciated Qingtian's move, but also personally led the concubines in the palace to respond, and gathered together a batch of clothing materials to send to the female students.
When the emperor learned about this, he praised the queen in public, gave her a lot of rewards, and also sent a batch of clothing materials to the girls' school.
As a result, no one in the court or the country dared to bring this up anymore, and Qingtian's favored status was further established, and no one dared to make trouble anymore.
However, Qingtian didn't know at this time that he was almost buried by the clothes from behind.
She followed Princess Rui and Madam Qin to the girls' school, and met Madam Lu who had arrived earlier at the door. They went in together to check on the renovation of the girls' school.
The separate residences on both sides have now been connected by moon gates.
All the original luxurious decorations in the house were removed.
The rooms were converted into large bunk beds that could accommodate several people.
The house is fully stocked with simple daily necessities.
Each person will also have their own cabinet door with a lock to store things.
Although all the contents were discussed by Madam Lu and Qingtian, Madam Lu was basically the dominant one. After all, Qingtian was still young and did not have much life experience, and could not think of too many details.
But Madam Lu had studied in a girls' school after all, so she knew better what the students studying here needed.
There is nothing luxurious or superfluous here, only the most basic space and items to ensure a person's life.
We all come from poor families, and the environment here is much better than at home.
For those children, being able to study and live here was happier than heaven.
The room she had decorated was now better than when she was studying here.
The fact that everyone has their own independent cabinet is much better than before.
Madam Lu was showing a few people around the girls' school while she said, "The cloth that the princess brought from Prince Rui's mansion has now been made into quilts, ready to be distributed to the girls who come to study.
"As for the clothes, I guess we have to wait until all the students are enrolled and then make them according to their height, weight and size.
“So even though fabrics are not abundant nowadays, we are not in a rush.
“However, since the original house was renovated into its current state, many of the previous furniture are no longer suitable for use.
"We'll try to preserve and use everything we can, and sell off the unusable ones. We'll then find someone to make new ones..."
Before Madam Lu finished her words, Qingtian immediately said, "That's easy. My third uncle runs a carpentry workshop, so I'll just ask him to come over and take a look.
"If you need any furniture, you can ask him to make it directly. If there is any broken furniture, you can ask him to repair it."
Of course, Madam Lu knew that Ye Lao San now opened a carpentry workshop in the capital, and she had wanted to find Ye Lao San directly before.
