Chapter 1688 Money

Zhulan didn't say anything. She waited for the girls' answers. After they looked at each other, they answered, "We'll listen to our parents."

The yard was unusually quiet, and several girls were a little flustered. They didn't know what they had said wrongly.

Zhulan curled the corners of her mouth. Girls have been taught thoughts since they were born. She could only comfort herself that being obedient is also an advantage. As long as the elders at home are convinced, they will be obedient. She thinks the most important lesson in the girls' academy should be to change girls' thinking.

Mrs. Li Zheng was nervous. The old lady in front of her was smiling, but she was afraid. "You."

Zhulan smiled and said, "We have already drunk the water, so we will leave now."

As he spoke, he stood up and Qingxue hurried forward to support him.

Mrs. Li Zheng stood up to see them off. When she saw the carriage go away, she patted her chest and said, "I was scared to death."

Li Zheng appeared at this time, "What did you say?"

Mrs. Li Zheng told the conversation just now. Li Zheng was very smart and said, "I came here for the academy."

He paid close attention to the goings-on around him. He knew about 70% of the orphanage's history from its establishment to the present. Naturally, he knew that the rebuilt academy had rooms for teaching girls.

Madam Li Zheng, "Master, what are you thinking about?"

Li Zheng turned his head and looked at his granddaughters. "Let me think about it again."

After saying this, he left without telling his wife what he was thinking.

As the carriage left the village, Yuyi asked, "Grandma, don't you want to ask more questions?"

Zhulan: "I won't ask anymore. Let's go to the scholar's house in the next village."

Yuyi comforted her, "Grandma, we can send the girls from the Zhou family in Beijing to study."

Zhulan had naturally thought about it. Back then, the eldest brother brought a few clansmen from the family. These clansmen gradually brought their families here. As the number of clansmen in the capital increased, she would let the girls go to the academy when school started.

Zhulan said: "All the girls in the tribe will go to school."

The Zhou family has a strong cohesiveness, and Shuren has an extraordinary status in the family. Even if Shuren doesn't say anything, she is the dean and the family members will not resist. As for other families, it is difficult.

In Zhangzhou, Yushuang and Liufeng personally escorted their mother out of the county town. When the carriage arrived at the county town gate, the couple's eyes were filled with reluctance to leave.

Mrs. Hu, however, felt relieved. She was finally going back to the capital. She waved her hand and said, "You guys go back. I'll write to you when I get to the capital."

Liu Feng only has one mother. He hopes to take care of her, so he naturally wants her to be by his side. "Mom, you'll be alone when you return to the capital. You should stay."

Yu Shuang got along well with her mother-in-law. Her mother-in-law only helped her take care of the children and never interfered with anything. Even when someone secretly advised her mother-in-law to take a concubine for her husband, her mother-in-law retorted and was very protective of her. She didn't want her mother-in-law to leave, "Mom, please stay."

Her mother-in-law staying could help her with a lot of problems.

Mrs. Hu thought to herself, "I'm not old yet. You don't have to worry about me. If you miss me, write to me more often."

Liu Feng heard the joy in his mother's voice and didn't know what to say, "How about you take Zhao Xi back to Beijing?"

Mrs. Hu also liked her grandson, and she thought it would be better for the child to stay with his parents. "It's getting late, you should go back."

Having said this, she signaled the driver to hurry up and leave, as she was going back to Beijing to discuss the design of jewelry with her mother-in-law. She had painted a lot of them in her spare time.

Liu Feng and his wife watched the carriage leave with disdain. Yu Shuang chuckled, "Mom was afraid that we would get in trouble. Look how fast the carriage is going."

Liu Feng also smiled, "Let's go back too."

The two of them did not bring their children to see them off as they were afraid that the children would cry, and they missed them for a while after they came out.

Yu Shuang said, "My mother-in-law and my mother communicate very frequently."

"Mother and mother-in-law have the same hobbies."

Yu Shuang touched the hairpin on her head and said, "My mother's design is better than that of the jewelry store."

Liu Feng also admired his mother's vision and held his wife's hand, "Wait for me to design one for you."

"Do you have time?"

Liu Feng now felt relieved, "Yes, the heaviest burden on me has been lightened, and I can spend more time with you and the children."

Yu Shuang leaned on her husband's shoulder and looked at the bustling street. "What a big change."

She still remembered how deserted it was when she first arrived. Now there were many more stalls on the street, and people's faces were less numb.

Liu Feng, "Life will get better and better."

At night, Zhou Shuren came back and saw that the room was a little dark. He looked at Qingxue standing outside the door and asked, "Is Madam resting?"

Qingxue replied, "The old lady is in a bad mood."

Zhou Shuren walked in and saw his wife sitting there motionless. He walked over and asked, "Didn't you expect this?"

Zhulan, “Imagination feels different than seeing it with your own eyes.”

"Okay, forget it. I'm hungry."

Zhulan rubbed her neck and said, "Then let's eat."

She motioned to Qingxue to set the table and then she went downstairs to walk around the house. She felt uncomfortable after sitting for too long.

Zhou Shuren changed his clothes, the food was ready, he washed his hands and sat down and said, "I'll tell you the news, you'll be interested."

"What news?"

Zhou Shuren, "The Emperor allowed Concubine Chen to write the storybook, but..."

Zhu Lan continued, "But it can't be published in the current newspaper. Your Majesty is planning to publish another newspaper?"

"Yes, the Emperor heard about the money that Concubine Chen made from selling the storytelling script and sent someone to investigate. He thought that publishing a new newspaper could make money."

Zhulan smiled, "It must be your push."

Zhou Shuren ate the chicken leg and nodded as he ate. After he had swallowed the chicken, he said, "The emperor is more open-minded than I thought."

Zhulan: "Thanks to you."

Shu Ren's thoughts have influenced two generations of emperors and are now influencing the crown prince. At the same time, they are lucky, as not all emperors can be influenced.

Zhou Shuren asked, "I haven't seen you writing articles recently?"

Zhulan, "Don't overdo it."

If she continued to write articles, it would be bad for them, so she was not in a hurry and would just take it slow.

The next day, Concubine Chen came again, this time to invite him, "Do you want to write a storybook together? Write it under your new name."

Zhu Lan shook her head, "I'm very busy, and I don't have the talent for writing stories."

Just because she has seen a lot of story-making doesn't mean she has the talent to write storybooks. If she wrote storybooks, they would definitely be boring.

Toffee Chen said with pity, "You are a good storyteller."

Zhu Lan smiled and said, "Your Highness, are you happy that your wish came true this time?"

Concubine Chen, "Happy, why not happy?"

She is much younger than the retired emperor. Thanks to the fact that he married late, she is in good health. Now she just hopes to live longer.

Zhulan said, "When the newspaper comes out, I will definitely subscribe to it without missing a single issue."

"Don't regret it."

"No regrets."

Not only does she subscribe, she also buys more. Yes, she also asks the Toffee to sign it, so that it will become wealth for future generations!

Concubine Chen left in a hurry to think of a new story. She also said she wanted to write a tragic one because Zhulan said that tragedy should be passed down forever.

Zhulan told her granddaughter that there would be a new newspaper. She had no intention of hiding it, and it was estimated that the news had spread all over the capital by now.

Yuwen asked directly, "Will Ben give money if we put it in the newspaper?"

Zhulan really doesn’t know, probably not, what an honor it would be to have her article published in the newspaper at this time.
