Chapter 320: One Enrollment Place
The person who came was none other than the person Lu Qiniang admired the most - Jiang Yi.
"Miss Jiang, why are you here?" Lu Qiniang was overjoyed. She didn't even close the door and kept saying, "Come in and sit down."
After Jiang Yi entered the house, Lu Qiniang said, "Don't be disgusted by the mess in the shop. It's been a while since we last met. I asked Xiao Yan a few days ago why Jiang Quan didn't come home. I was thinking of inviting you and your brother to dinner when he was free."
Jiang Yi said, "Something's happened at home lately, and we've been busy for a while. Qi Niang, I won't beat around the bush with you. I came here today for two reasons. The first is that the emperor has ordered the establishment of a girls' academy, and it will open on April 15th."
"This is great news. I've heard about it. What's wrong?"
"I'm going to the academy to teach horse riding and archery."
"Ah! That's great."
Seeing the guests coming, a woman took the initiative to help serve tea. Lu Qiniang pushed the tea in front of Jiang Yi and said, "Have a drink."
"I'm free and have nothing to do, and I believe women should be independent and self-reliant, so I'm happy to accept this assignment," Jiang Yi said frankly. "I'm here to ask you, are Zhao Zhao and her three sisters interested in coming?"
Lu Qiniang was surprised and said, "Is that something I can do just by wanting to? I heard that no matter who you are, you can only get in by passing the exam!"
"Since I dare to ask you, I must be confident." Jiang Yi said, "But I estimate that I can only recommend one person in."
Where there are people, there are human relationships and social customs.
She went in as a teacher, so it was normal for her to bring someone with her.
Bring one——
Lu Qiniang thought for a moment and said, "Could I discuss this matter with the three sisters?"
She couldn't decide this on her own.
The children are grown up and have their own ideas.
She also doesn't want to let the humble person suffer, so if two people are interested, or both are interested, then they will draw lots, which is the fairest way.
"Okay." Jiang Yi said, "Don't worry, go back and discuss it tonight, and send someone to tell me tomorrow."
"I really don't know how to thank you." Lu Qiniang said sincerely.
Jiang Yiren is so nice.
"Don't thank me, you've helped me a lot." Jiang Yi said, "If you make fireworks at the end of this year, I'd like to work with you."
"Of course. How can we be so confident if we find someone else?" Lu Qiniang said.
The more she looked at Jiang Yi, the more she liked him.
Age is not forgiving. Jiang Yi is already in her twenties. It would be great if she could be with the Fifth Young Master.
However, even though she thought so in her heart, Lu Qiniang did not mention a single word.
This is someone else's fate.
Moreover, these two people were somehow involved with her and Xiao Yan respectively, so she shouldn't speak.
That is, pray and bless silently in your heart.
Jiang Yi continued, "There's another thing. I've also heard about the Jiang family and Zhao Zhao's broken engagement. I've had a few interactions with Jiang Xuan before and I think he's a trustworthy person. Is there a misunderstanding here? Is there any chance of reversing it?"
Lu Qiniang looked at her with concern and felt a little guilty, but she could only bite the bullet and say, "There's no misunderstanding. It's already gotten to that point, how can we make things right? Thank you for still thinking about Zhao Zhao, but forget about this marriage."
"In that case, I would like to ask you a shameless question. If I propose marriage for my brother, would you consider it?"
Lu Qiniang was confused.
"My family has permanent property, including houses, shops, and land. Thanks to the protection of my father and brothers, as long as you don't make any serious mistakes, you will have no worries about food and clothing in your life. I will not compete with you in the future, it's all his." Jiang Yi said, "You know, I'm not a difficult person to get along with..."
"I know, of course I know." Lu Qinniang showed an embarrassment on her face, "It's just, it's just... I'll be honest with you, I don't think it's appropriate. It's not that Jiang Quan is bad, I like Jiang Quan very much, it's just-"
"It's okay." Jiang Yi interrupted Lu Qiniang before she could find an excuse. "I was just asking casually. Marriage must be consensual. Maybe Zhao Zhao told you some of her thoughts, but it's really not appropriate."
Lu Qiniang felt that Jiang Yi was really reasonable.
Why do I like her more and more?
"Regarding going to the academy, remember to let me know later."
Jiang Yi didn't stay long.
When they returned home for dinner, Lu Qiniang told her about this matter at the table.
"Zhuozhuo, you go." Yun Ting said while gnawing on a goose leg, "Zhaozhao wants to get married, and even if she doesn't, there's no need for her to be with a bunch of little girls and take care of the children. Jiaojiao can't sit still, and asking her to study is like killing her. I think you are the most suitable."
In this way, the two of them can compete with each other to see who studies better and makes more progress.
Ever since Erya became obsessed with running a shop, she seems to have lost interest in reading.
This made Yun Ting feel a little lonely.
——No one is learning from him.
Arya rolled her eyes and said, "I'm not going. I can read and write, that's all. Right now I'm mainly practicing using the abacus and learning to keep accounts. Besides, I have to make all the decisions in the shop, so I don't have the time for that. No, no, no."
Nothing is more important to her than making money.
She is not taking the imperial examination, so she will have plenty of time to study in the future.
But now is a critical period for the start of her career, and she needs to prioritize.
Daya said, "I'm indeed too old. Let Third Sister go. She's just the right age, and she's lively and fearless. She can get along well with the kids."
San Ya can easily become the big sister.
Lu Qiniang was a little worried.
Because she always felt that San Ya’s popularity now was largely due to her family’s affluent conditions, which gave her many opportunities to “win people’s hearts” with snacks.
So Xiao San Ya is confident and generous.
But in that kind of environment, their family should have the worst conditions.
It’s no wonder that Lu Qiniang thought too much. When Zhang Heyao was studying, she didn’t think enough, so she had no idea that he was being bullied.
She was worried that San Ya would repeat the same mistake.
San Ya said, "I'm not going. Studying is so boring. I'm not going, I'm not going!"
"If you go, there will be horseback archery lessons." Xiao Yan said, "You should be able to look down on them."
San Ya was suddenly a little confused.
Xiao Yan continued, "There should be a chance to get in touch with real weapons."
"Okay, I'll go then." Sanya immediately jumped into the pit, "Are we going tomorrow?"
Lu Qiniang: “…”
In this way, the students were selected.
Lu Qiniang asked Sanya, "What would you think if your food, clothing, and daily expenses were worse than others?"
San Ya looked at her in confusion, "Mom, why would I think about that when I have nothing to do? I want it, but no one will give it to me!"
Lu Qiniang: "...What if others laugh at you?"
"Then I'll laugh at her too," San Ya said confidently. "Who doesn't have a few flaws? A short one is called a ground jar spirit, a tall one is called a clothesline pole, a fat one is a rice jar spirit, and a skinny one is a washboard reincarnated."
She counted her fingers and spoke with increasing excitement, her saliva almost splashing onto Lu Qiniang's face.
Lu Qiniang: Okay, this daughter has been raised, go ahead.
