Chapter 387: Fast or Slow
Eunuch Mo was a little puzzled: "Master, even without her, our treasury has more than enough food to cope with it."
"Do you really think that's enough?"
"People have had good harvests in recent years."
"We've donated half our grain reserves to the flood relief efforts in the north, and have taken out one million taels of silver from the national treasury. Do you think that's enough?"
"This..." Eunuch Mo was speechless for a moment.
"For over three years, this girl from the Wen family has sent every possible supply she could think of to the battlefield, including instant noodles, beef jerky, pork jerky, vermicelli noodles, and so on. I'm sure you know how much money she can exchange for these."
Eunuch Mo fell silent.
"Look at merchants from other places. They're all richer and more affluent than her, but none of them have ever generously helped the country in times of trouble. Maybe in the short term, but over time, can anyone really be like her?"
A Yu looked at the imperial edict on the table and suddenly felt that no matter how much she was given, she was worth it.
Eunuch Mo knelt on the ground: "It is my ignorance."
"Get up."
Wen Zhenyi didn't know what happened in the capital, but when she opened the door the next morning, she saw Axiang standing at the door.
"Axiang, you didn't sleep all night?"
When Ah Xiang saw her come out, he knelt on the ground and said, "I'm sorry, Master. I can't serve you anymore."
Wen Zhenyi knew that she had figured it out, so he helped her up and said, "I've been doing fine without you serving me these past few years. When you get married, I'll have to cook for you myself."
"Thank you, Master."
"Don't call me master anymore. Just call me Zhenyi or Yiyi from now on. Go find Master Cheng. He's been waiting for you long enough."
Ah Xiang turned around and walked a few steps, then quickly ran back to hug her: "It's great to meet you."
Wen Zhenyi smiled and patted her back: "Me too. This will always be your home."
Axiang left.
When Cheng Lesheng knew that Ah Xiang was back, he did not sleep all night. He wanted to go find her, but he was afraid to see her. This emotion tormented him all night until a figure suddenly appeared beside his bed.
"Oh my god!"
"You are still so jumpy." A Xiang said with a smile on his face.
When Cheng Lesheng saw the person standing beside the bed, the fear on his face was quickly covered by surprise. He turned over and stood up from the bed: "Axiang."
A Xiang looked at the clothes on him and said, "Why don't you put on your clothes first." Then he turned around and prepared to leave.
Cheng Lesheng was afraid that she would disappear again, so he hugged her from behind and said, "Axiang, don't go."
Ah Xiang's body stiffened slightly. She could feel his arms trembling. He was afraid: "I won't leave."
"Really, you really aren't leaving?" Cheng Lesheng was a little uncertain.
"Well, now that the indenture has been returned to me, I have nowhere to go. Are you willing to take me in?"
"I don't want to." Cheng Lesheng said.
Ah Xiang turned to look at Cheng Lesheng, frowning: "Don't want to?"
"I want to take care of you forever."
Ah Xiang's brows slowly relaxed, and a smile appeared on his face: "Okay."
When Mrs. Wen was having breakfast, she didn't see Axiang: "Yiyi, where's Axiang? Did you ask her to go out and do something again?"
"Grandma, she's gone."
"Gone? Where did you go? Will you come back?"
"She went to find her own happiness. This place is her natal home, so she will naturally come back."
Old Man Wen blinked his eyes and asked, "Did you go to see Young Master Cheng?"
Wen Zhenyi smiled and nodded: "Yes, they are not young anymore."
"Good, good."
Ma Yinghe also smiled and nodded: "Axiang has also been found, but your brother's situation is still unknown."
Wen Zhenyi smiled and comforted him: "Mom, my brother is so outstanding, how could he be unemployed?"
"I've been gone for several years, and now even your wedding has been delayed."
Wen Zhen blinked his eyes and said, "Wouldn't it be good for me to stay at home for a few more years?"
Mrs. Wen smiled and said, "I think it's good."
"Aunt!"
Zhu Tao's daughter ran in from outside, with a chubby little face and two little buns on her head.
Mrs. Wen saw a kind smile on her face and said, "Our little Zhenzhen is here."
Lin Zhen smiled, hugged Old Lady Wen's neck, and kissed her twice on the cheek: "Grandma."
Mrs. Wen was even happier: "Where are my parents?"
"Busy." Lin Zhen pointed outside.
Wen Zhenyi poked her little face: "Zhenzhen, come here to your aunt."
Lin Zhen ran out of Old Lady Wen's arms and hugged her legs: "Auntie, story."
Wen Zhenyi smiled and picked her up: "You came to me to listen to a story."
Lin Zhen smiled and nodded.
"Let's go to the school and tell stories."
Lin Zhen happily hugged her neck, leaned on her shoulder, and waved goodbye to the people at home.
Ma Yinghe looked at the two children who left and said, "If Yi Yi had gotten married earlier, we would have become grandmothers too."
Wen Chengwen looked at his wife: "Do you regret it?"
"No, I just sighed."
Wen Zhenyi took Lin Zhen to the private school. In the past few years, most of her money was used to buy food and other supplies, leaving only basic expenses for workshops and other industries.
This also means that many of her workshops are still idle.
In addition to making some braised food from the chickens and ducks raised by the villagers, some were made into bacon and other items and sent to the front line.
She didn't have much to do, so she would go to the private school and tell stories to the children.
The children in the private school all liked her very much and were particularly enthusiastic whenever they saw her.
"Sister Wen, will you tell us a story?"
"Don't you have classes today?"
"My class today is in the afternoon."
Another child said with some regret: "I have to go soon."
In three years, the children in the private school learned a lot.
They are serious and hardworking, and they know what they want.
When Shen Xiucai saw her coming, he walked over and said, "Come and tell them stories again."
"It's just nothing."
“Some of these kids can graduate.”
"graduate?"
"Well, they didn't take the imperial examination. They've already learned all the characters, and their chosen subjects have been approved, so they can graduate."
“That’s fast.”
"It can be said to be fast or slow. When they leave, new children arrive. It may be like this every year in the future." Mr. Shen looked at the children in the private school.
The three years here are the happiest days for these children.
Wen Zhenyi knew that the teachers here were earnestly teaching them everything they knew and establishing their correct outlook on life and values. From then on, it would be up to them to create the life they wanted.
“Grandpa Shen, when will you let them graduate.”
"Before the autumn harvest, so they can go home and help."
"Okay, then let's set it before the autumn harvest."
