Chapter 334 The Ancestral Grave Collapsed
"I'm afraid Lord Zhang won't agree." Sun Shun didn't plan to mention it to Zhang Heyao.
He was not stupid enough to do something he knew was wrong in front of his boss.
"If you really mind this matter, then wait until Master Zhang comes back and talk to him yourself."
"Look at what you're saying," Lu Qiniang said, "Xiao Yan and I are married now. If I go looking for him again, what will Xiao Yan think?"
It doesn’t matter if I didn’t sleep.
Now that they are already asleep, she has to be responsible for Xiao Yan.
She is not like Zhang Heyao, who always has her cake and eats what is in her bowl.
She should treat others well.
Lu Qiniang thought about it. Since Sun Shun was unwilling to help and she didn't want to see Zhang Heyao, then -
Let her do it herself.
Lu Qiniang looked around, found a stone, and sat in front of Zhang Heyao's overgrown tombstone, grinding her name on the tombstone with the stone.
Sun Shun was anxious, "Abandoned Mother, what are you doing?"
He knew that Zhang Heyao liked this place entirely because of the tombstone erected by Lu Qiniang.
"I do good deeds without leaving my name behind." Lu Qiniang said, "I just don't know how to carve words on tombstones, so why don't you help him carve that vicious woman's name on it.
"Don't move, don't move." Sun Shun stopped her. "I beg you. When Master Zhang comes back, I'll talk to him about this."
"Aren't you embarrassed?"
"It's not difficult, it's not difficult." Sun Shun said quickly, "I will tell Master Zhang your intention. If he doesn't agree, you two can discuss it."
Don't hurt innocent people.
Lu Qiniang then put down the stone in her hand, but her name on the tombstone had become much more blurred.
Sun Shun watched and groaned inwardly.
As for other things, after so many years, he could more or less guess what Zhang Heyao was thinking.
But there is nothing I can guess about Lu Qiniang.
For example, before, Sun Shun thought that Zhang Heyao would not be so heartless to Lu Qiniang.
However, he was more heartless than she thought.
Now, Sun Shun thinks Zhang Heyao should let it go, but Zhang Heyao still can't forget it.
Lu Qiniang didn't care about that and said, "I'm coming next month on Ghost Festival. If it's still there, I'll have to do it myself."
"Please give me some more time, Qi Niang." Sun Shun said, "Master Zhang may not be able to return to the capital during the Ghost Festival."
Lu Qiniang didn't want to ask, but she knew that Zhang Heyao went to Henan with the prince.
Aren’t we still waiting for the prince to come back and talk about Daya’s marriage?
So Lu Qiniang asked tentatively, "It's already so late and you haven't come back yet. Did you buy another house there?"
Sun Shun: "...Of course not. The levee over there is in a worrying state. Besides checking the accounts, Lord Zhang also has to comfort the people affected by the floods. Furthermore, with the repeated heavy rains, the situation is very serious now."
"You have to work hard. You won't be able to come back next month?"
"Maybe. I just received a letter from the master a few days ago, saying that he is not sure when he will return."
"oh."
Lu Qiniang thought to herself, it would be best if the flood could see through everything and sweep that bad prince away, putting an end to it once and for all.
“Boom!”
"What's wrong?" Lu Qiniang was shocked and asked repeatedly.
"Mom, it seems that the tomb has collapsed." Daya pointed at the grave of Zhang Heyao's parents.
Lu Qinniang looked at the large piece of land that suddenly collapsed without any warning and couldn't help but mutter, "Shunzi, could it be that I didn't have money back then and dug a hole for my parents myself? I didn't dig it well."
It is said that work must be done professionally.
She relied on brute force and thought she was doing a good job, but the result was a complete failure.
But she also dug Zhang Heyao's tomb.
"It's really true that things that should collapse haven't, and things that shouldn't collapse have collapsed." Lu Qinniang muttered, "I'll go down the mountain and find someone to fix it later."
"Mother, let's wait until Master Zhang returns for this matter," Daya said. "After all, he's already been promoted to the third rank. Even if my parents don't receive any honors right now, they will be honored posthumously in the future. With a higher rank, the tomb will be very particular. I'm afraid if you repair it now, it will be more difficult to rebuild it later."
This is Daya's excuse.
She actually just didn't want Lu Qiniang to do anything for Zhang Heyao's parents.
She is not as magnanimous as her mother.
She holds a grudge.
In Daya's eyes, although Lu Qiniang got something from the Zhang family, what the Zhang family got from her was more than several times.
"That's right. But now..." Lu Qiniang hesitated, "It doesn't look good either."
"Then let Lord Sun handle it. We don't understand it either." Daya said.
Lu Qiniang looked at Sun Shun.
Sun Shun nodded and said, "I will bring people to repair it tomorrow. You don't have to worry about it, Qi Niang."
"Okay then."
On the way back from the cemetery, Lu Qiniang felt uneasy.
"Daya, my left eye has been twitching non-stop today, and my parents' tomb has collapsed again. Do you think this could be a bad omen?"
Daya thought to herself, what they think is a bad thing may not be a bad thing for you.
"No, no," Lu Qin's mother said, "Those are my parents. They will definitely protect me. The bad ones won't work, but the good ones will. Oh, I was just thinking, let the flood sweep the prince away. Could that be my parents agreeing to it?"
"Maybe." Daya was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
It turned out that her mother was not asking for blessings, but cursing the prince.
Well, let's just assume her parents agreed.
Two days later, Sun Shun sent someone to tell Lu Qiniang that the tomb had been repaired and asked her to rest assured.
Lu Qinniang no longer took this matter to heart.
By early July, Daya's school was finally ready and began to recruit students in a low-key manner.
A total of 52 girls were enrolled and divided into three classes according to age.
Three to six, six to ten, ten to fourteen.
There were twenty-one children aged three to six, and Daya found three maids to help take care of them.
They didn't learn much. Daya taught them to recite poems every day, and most of the time they were left to the care of the old women. As long as they were well fed, had fun, and didn't get seriously hurt, it was fine.
There are fourteen children between the ages of six and ten. They mainly learn to recognize words, math and arithmetic, and do boxing to strengthen their bodies. They also learn some simple skills such as the basics of embroidery, so that they can have a basic understanding of various trades.
There are seventeen girls between the ages of ten and fourteen. They have to learn a lot at the beginning, such as embroidery, cooking, arithmetic, tailoring, etc. It takes several months to discover their expertise and then study in depth.
As for the teacher, Daya hired two old scholars, an embroiderer, and a cook, and Jiang Yi also came to help.
After hearing about this, the fifth young master said that he could come and help take care of the children's studies whenever he was free.
Daya feels that the people she has invited so far are not satisfactory.
Due to time constraints, she could only do this, but in the future, she would continue to look for more capable teachers to teach the girls.
It’s impossible for everyone to teach the same thing.
Hu Rui had no one to look after, so Old Hu forced him into the class of girls aged six to ten.
In response, Lu Qiniang mercilessly mocked Lao Hu, saying that he was crazy about wanting to find a wife for his son.
Doctor Hu retorted to her, "Daya is willing, so mind your own business."
Besides, he doesn't hire people for nothing.
Isn’t he here to teach the girls how to identify medicinal herbs?
Even if I really can't survive in the future, I can still survive by going up the mountain to collect herbs.
You know, the herbalist's skills are passed down from father to son, and from son to grandson. Who is as generous as him and teaches without hesitation?
Lu Qiniang: If you are really generous, then teach him medical skills as well. I don’t think Hu Rui is that type of person.
Doctor Hu was so angry that he wanted to break up with her, but when he went back to teach Hu Rui at night, he scolded him again and again, saying that he was "a rotten tree that cannot be carved."
In this way, Daya's school opened in a lively manner.
Those who brought their children were overjoyed.
They actually don’t care about knowing how to read and write, the most important thing is that they have food to eat!
As a result, Lu Qiniang and Xiao Yan's place became a place where many people wanted to find work.
Everything seems to be going in a good direction, which makes people feel at ease.
But Xiao Yan encountered something that made him worry.
