Zhao Qingyan wholeheartedly agreed, "Yes, before I only thought that it would be good to let the children learn more about survival skills."
It seems that we will have to add another course for the children of the orphanage in the future, namely medicine.
Who knows, we might even train a few doctors.
"It's settled then. I'll send the message over right away. But finding a good gentleman like him is really difficult."
Xu Dongsheng couldn't bear to see his wife frown. "These are not difficult matters. I'll go to the Imperial Hospital later to ask if there are any doctors I know who are willing to teach the children."
Besides, isn't the fourth sister's fiancé's family also a family of doctors? We can ask them later.
We simply need a few doctors to teach the children. We're not refusing to pay their tuition; in return, we'll provide them with various medicinal herbs. I'm sure no doctor will refuse.
Zhao Qingyan thought about it and agreed. To study medicine, one must first have medicinal herbs. One cannot simply read a few books back and forth and ponder them aimlessly.
We need to find a few lab mice to use for experiments.
All of these cost money.
In fact, her real intention was for the children to have more medical knowledge so that they would get sick less often in the future, and to avoid foolish things like the 'village annihilation case'.
They all came from humble backgrounds, and thrift was ingrained in their bones; it was inevitable that their excessive thrift would lead to tragedy.
Thinking of this, Zhao Qingyan quickly went to the study to write a letter, leaving Xu Dongsheng there to stare blankly.
As for the aftermath of the village annihilation case, Zhao Qingyan didn't even bother to ask. The only possible solutions were compensation or imprisonment.
If the old woman's family is willing to pay compensation to the villagers, she should be able to avoid jail time. It's just a pity for her old man.
He was perfectly healthy, but a bowl of rat poison killed him.
It's better to live a miserable life than to die a good death. Even if life isn't worth living, it's better to live a miserable life than to die a good death.
Since Huang started preparing Zhao Qinghe's dowry, she has been very busy, leaving early and returning late. She is almost busier than her grandsons who work in the government office.
Zhao Qianci was already full of complaints about this.
However, he dared not speak to his wife directly, so he encouraged his son to voice his objections to her.
Zhao Qianci was not about to let his own father trick him, so he immediately told Princess Yanyue about the old man's idea.
Yan Yue was speechless. "There's nothing going on at home. Mom finally found something to have fun with, so let her go have some fun."
It won't cost much money, and besides, with Mother's health, what's there to worry about?
If Dad feels neglected, he can go shopping with Mom.
"Is Dad the kind of person who thinks shopping is shameful?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Minggeng thought, "That seems to make sense."
"My wife is indeed wise; how could I not have thought of that? I will go and tell my father about this later."
Mother hasn't had time to help look after the two little ones lately; thank you for your hard work, my wife.
Yan Yue had gotten used to Zhao Minggeng's clingy manner and his insincere words.
"Don't give me that. With so many servants in the house, it's all the same whether Mother is home or not."
My mother never interfered in other family matters.
I suddenly remembered that when the servants were cleaning today, they found what looked like a packet of silver in the vase. I wonder if my husband knows who put that silver there?
Zhao Minggeng was dumbfounded.
"Mother, wife, no way! That's money I've been saving for so long, to give to the children as New Year's money."
My wife, please leave it to me, I beg you…
Princess Yan Yue was very surprised, she had never known that Zhao Minggeng had such a shameless side.
Of course, she was also curious. Since the family had plenty of food and clothing, Zhao Minggeng could simply go to the accounting office to withdraw money if he wanted it. Why did he need to secretly hide some money?
"Sigh, I am a man after all. Especially when it comes to giving the younger generation lucky money during holidays."
If it's the New Year or other holidays, the money for lucky money and gifts for the wife will have to be drawn from her, so it's better not to go through that formality.
All that money was earned by her husband writing illustrations, hoping to give his wife a surprise during the New Year holidays.
I never expected my wife to be so perceptive and discover my secret so early on.
It seems I'll have to find a different place to hide the silver next time. I think hiding it near our bed would be more appropriate.
As soon as Zhao Minggeng finished speaking, Princess Yanyue almost burst out laughing.
"If you put it by your bedside, I'll know. What are you hiding?"
Zhao Minggeng nodded, "That makes sense. Then we might as well not hide it anymore. My wife, could you give me a box to put my secret stash of money in?"
During festivals and holidays, gifts for the elders, lucky money for the children, and gifts for the wife all come from the husband's coffers.
Yan Yue wanted to laugh but couldn't.
"Husband, are you joking? Why are you making such a distinction? Do you feel that being a prince consort is beneath you?"
How much hidden money does my husband have?
If I were to use only my husband's private savings for the Lunar New Year, I would be criticized for being unvirtuous.
Zhao Minggeng shook his head vigorously, like a rattle drum.
"My wife, don't overthink it. I just want to create more surprises for you."
However, this surprise absolutely cannot be created with Hua Niangzi's money.
That way, it won't matter if the wife moves the item from left to right or right to left.
My husband isn't the kind of person who lives off a woman; in fact, he's the kind of person who enjoys being a kept man. However, sometimes he has to be stubborn enough to be a kept man.
Earning secret savings is my stubbornness.
After saying that, Zhao Minggeng burst into laughter.
Immediately, he lifted Princess Yan Yue high into the air, saying, "Not only is she stubborn, but she's also strong..."
Princess Yan Yue was so frightened she almost lost her composure. "You scoundrel, put me down right now!"
While I verbally told myself to put it down, I secretly felt that the taste wasn't bad at all.
