Mother He smiled and said, "Sister, your three daughters-in-law all seem good and are very filial to you. You are truly a blessed person!"
Wang said with a smile: "Yes, these three daughters-in-law are very kind to me. I treat them as my own daughters. They always go along with me in everything. It really is my blessing!"
"It must be because the elder sister treats the daughter-in-law well, so the daughter-in-law is so filial. As the saying goes, there is a mother-in-law first and then the daughter-in-law. If the mother-in-law treats the daughter-in-law well, the daughter-in-law will of course treat the mother-in-law well. It's mutual." said He's mother.
"Yes, sister, you're right. That's why my family is always so happy."
As Wang and He's mother talked, they felt that they could get along well, and they became quite familiar with each other.
At the old man's dinner table, Mr. Qian said, "Old man, do you remember what I told you last time? If you have any good business opportunities, you must come to me!"
He knew that the Xu family was definitely not simple. Otherwise, even if the Xu family's wine tasted good, it would never be famous in a place like the capital. It must be related to some important figure. Although he was a little bit unconvinced that the Xu family was just a village family and how could they know the nobles in the capital, he had to believe that this was indeed the case, so he wanted to establish a relationship with the Xu family first.
The old man said, "Of course, of course. When there's a good business opportunity and I need someone to cooperate with, I will definitely consider Mr. Qian first."
"Okay, then I'll wait for you, old man! Come, let me toast you a glass." Mr. Qian said with a smile.
The two men clinked their glasses and drank it all.
The meal took more than an hour to finish. Some of the dishes were already completely cold, but it did not affect their drinking at all.
By the time it was over, everyone except He Xiucai had drunk a lot and looked a little tipsy.
Seeing that it was getting late, the three of them said goodbye. Fortunately, they all came with their servants. After helping the three of them onto the carriage, they were given two bottles of prepared wine. The servant waved his whip and set off towards the town.
He Jie also suggested going to the school to familiarize himself with the environment, and then went back with his mother.
Wang thought for a moment and said, "We still have a few new quilts at home. Master He and his family only brought two bundles. I'll give them the quilts. The weather is getting cold, and we can't let Master He get sick again."
The old man nodded and said, "Okay, this school has just been built, and Master He's courtyard hasn't been updated with daily necessities yet. First, take some from home and send it over. If it's not enough, have Kuiwu bring some back from town tomorrow."
"Mom, you can't take it away by yourself, I'll help you deliver it." Zhang said.
"Then my second sister-in-law and I will go along to help. My eldest sister-in-law and mother can't take it away this time." Lin said.
So the four of them took their things and went to the school with the maids who served them.
"Second brother, go to the winery and tell Fugui to ask his in-laws to send the child over early tomorrow morning. They can't be late." said the old man.
"Yes, Dad, I'll go right away." Uncle Xu agreed and hurried towards the winery.
..........
The next day, the villagers got up early, dressed their children in new clothes, and carried a school bag on their shoulders.
Qibao brought the twelve guards out of the space and prepared a school bag for each of them. They were excited but also a little nervous about going to school, fearing that they would not learn well and would disappoint the young lady's expectations of them.
Qibao comforted him, "I'm just sending you to learn knowledge and literacy. I don't expect you to have great literary talent in the future. As long as you can recognize words and understand some principles of life, that's enough."
"Yes, Miss, we must learn well from the Master."
At this time, Zhang and Li's biological father also came to Xu's house with his grandson. The three boys were dressed very smartly today and also carried a new school bag on their shoulders.
"Brother, I sent the kid from my family here. Thank you so much. Hu Wa, Da Zhuang, Er Zhuang, hurry up and thank Grandpa Xu." Old Man Zhang and Old Man Li smiled like chrysanthemums.
"Thank you, Grandpa Xu." The three children said in unison.
"Okay, okay, they are all good children. Why didn't you send Niu Niu here as well?" asked Mr. Xu.
"Niuniu is still young now. Send her here when she grows up a little." said old man Li.
At first, when the two families heard that Xujia Village allowed girls to go to school, they were very surprised. They had never heard of any family sending girls to school. Later, when Fugui came back and told them the whole story, they found out that the matter was proposed by the in-laws, so they thought they must have their own considerations, so they didn't ask any more questions.
Previously, the two families had planned to send their children to the academy in the town, but later they heard that a new school was being built in Xujia Village. They thought that since it was built by their own relatives, they were family after all, and they could take better care of them if anything happened.
"What's there to thank us for? We are all family. You can just send the children here without worry. Fugui has just finished work, so he can take the children back. Your two families live close to each other, so it's convenient for us to go there." said the old man.
"Yes, yes, brother, you are right. We have also taken this into consideration. The workshop at home also requires people. If we really send it to the town, we will have to arrange for family members to pick it up." said Old Man Li.
"Come on, I'll take you to school." said the old man.
The old man also brought Xiaoliu to the school. This kid was always fighting dogs and chasing chickens at home, which was really a headache. It would be better to send him to the school and let the teacher discipline him. For this reason, Xiaoliu had been pouting since morning and looked unhappy.
Qibao took a ruler and planned to give it to Master He to intimidate those naughty children.
