When Lin Jinyue returned, she brought two female singers with her.
The two forgot their own names, only the names that the neighborhood mother had given them to please those stinky men.
Lin Jinyue then said, "You can choose a new name for yourselves, and from now on, you can stay in our village."
They had both forgotten their original surnames, so they decided to take the surname Lin, just like Lin Jinyue and the others.
One of them named himself "Lin Zhao," with "Zhao" symbolizing sunrise.
Another person named himself "Lin Xing".
Lin Jinyue began to ponder what these two could do in Yunhe Village while on the boat.
It would be a waste of his talents to make him do ordinary work.
At this moment, Lin Chen came over and asked, "Er Ya, no, Yue Yue, are you really taking them back?"
Lin Jinyue nodded.
She will definitely take it back if she can.
There were too many women in ancient times whose fates were tragic; she couldn't save them all.
But since both of them were right in front of her, and she still had a chance to save them, she definitely had to try.
But Lin Chen overthought things. He whispered, "Your mother won't break your legs, will she?"
Even if these two women are performing but not selling their bodies, they are still considered prostitutes.
Lin Jinyue glared at him: "What are you thinking? I have my own plans for taking him back."
She had even figured out where the two of them would stay.
They can live in a bamboo house, or they can live with the Qiaohua sisters.
Lin Jinyue glared at Lin Chen, "Don't just spend all your time doing math problems and reading storybooks. Go take a walk around the village. I feel like you're falling behind everyone else."
Lin Chen scratched his head.
He just felt that the village was not very lively.
In the time it takes someone to tell a story, he could finish reading a whole book, and use the extra time to do math problems.
In short, doing anything is more comfortable than being in a crowd.
As a result, Lin Jinyue said he couldn't keep up with the others.
Lin Jinyue left him to his own devices, while she began to think about what the two of them could do together.
It would be a waste of their talents to make them do manual labor. These two are proficient in all kinds of musical instruments, and their playing is truly superb.
Upon arriving at Yunhe Village, Lin Jinyue arranged a small bamboo house for the two of them.
The two were dazzled by what they saw. Their Yunhe Village was truly amazing; apart from a few small bamboo houses, houses were being built everywhere.
The villagers live in impressive brick and tile houses, and many have beautiful courtyards.
This village is probably even more formidable than Shawan County.
She told the two of them about the rules of Yunhe Village.
She can keep all the money she earns, but if someone tries to make money through her, she has to take a cut and give a portion of it to the village.
In addition, there's the issue of village security. If anyone dares to bully them or spread rumors, they can simply talk to her, the village chief, or the aunties in the village.
Let's see who dares to cause trouble in the village.
Lin Zhao and Lin Xing thought they were there to be servants, but to their surprise, Lin Jinyue treated them like villagers.
Since she had nothing else to do today, Lin Jinyue decided to take them for a walk around.
Just then, we came across a place where they were laying foundations.
Seeing that the area was quite large, Lin Zhao asked, "Is this also a residence? This residence is really big."
She was a little envious.
Yunhe Village is really rich.
Every household can build such a magnificent house.
Lin Jinyue then said, "This place is planned to be used as an academy for the children in the village."
The academy was designed to be quite large.
Considering that some students need basic education, while others are provided for Lin Chen and his classmates who are proficient in a particular subject, this is a learning space.
For example, to make it easier for the girls studying traditional Chinese medicine to attend various classes, Lin Jinyue also included a traditional Chinese medicine teaching area in the plan.
However, these are all ideal scenarios.
We're lacking everything right now, especially teachers for all subjects.
Lin Jinyue then set up a separate house as a study room, and every month she would find exam questions to check on their self-study progress.
In addition to the school for minors, there are also self-study classrooms for adults, where teachers regularly teach literacy every day.
We've arrived here just in time.
Lin Jinyue asked them, "Have you decided what you want to do?"
Lin Zhao shook his head: "Now that we have gotten rid of our lowly status, it is naturally impossible for us to go back to playing the zither and singing for others. However, we have no other plans."
Lin Jinyue then suggested, "Why don't you come and teach the children musical instruments at our school?"
She thought for a moment and said, "School entertainment is essential. Some children like it and may need to improve it outside of class. I can open a training class where you can have large group classes or one-on-one private tutoring."
It's similar to the hobby classes of later generations.
Lin Jinyue thought that there was a commercial street not far from the academy, which would make it convenient for everyone to buy things in the future, and would also attract nearby villagers.
It's getting more and more convenient and comfortable to live here.
Seeing that Lin Zhao and Lin Xing remained silent for a long time, Lin Jinyue asked, "You... don't want to?"
Lin Zhao shook her head: "We are willing, but... but we come from that kind of place, where we have to show our faces in public every day, selling smiles to earn money. We... can't do it."
Lin Xing also lowered his head.
She murmured, "If they were taught by us, it would become a stain on their reputation. Even if they passed the imperial examinations, they would be laughed at."
Wang Cuiju happened to be passing by.
Hearing Lin Xing's words, he said, "What? You passed the imperial examination and were still laughed at? Is that person out of their mind?"
Lin Xing noticed that more and more people were gathering around.
Watching everyone else live their lives honestly and simply, wearing plain linen clothes.
