Yan Chengyuan nodded decisively: "Go ahead. Just follow Jiaozi, no need to ask for grace alone."
He said to Meng Min: "Don't worry, nothing will happen."
Now that the Queen Mother is no longer a huge figure in the palace and there is no conflict of interest, there is really nothing to worry about.
Yan Shiyue came back and thought for a long time but still had no clue, so he said to Huo Qijing directly: "I will be responsible for finding the eunuch, and you will be responsible for finding a study partner, okay?"
Huo Qijing smiled at her and said, "I see." He pinched her earlobe casually and said, "Let's wait until the Emperor and Prince Duan finish looking for them. If anyone wants to come, they will come to us on their own. We can just pick a few."
At this time, each family is also considering it.
Different from later generations who would choose study partners from among slaves, Dayan’s study partners were mostly relatives, so most of them were from the royal family.
Princesses are usually not eligible to study in the study room. Yan Shiyue is a special favored one. If Emperor Ming Yan was still in power, she would be a strong supporter. But Emperor Ming Yan abdicated, which made the situation a little tricky.
Prince Dun has a grandson who is six years old and very smart. Because the princess has made money at the Jinxiu Division, she wants to send her grandson to Fuyan Mansion.
Prince Dun refused without hesitation: "No, her child would just be there to make up the numbers. When have you ever seen someone from another family enter the upper study?"
...
...
The Princess hesitated a little: "But Fuyan is not like others, she has always been glorious."
"That was in the past!" Prince Dun said, "The emperor had that kind of temper. When he loved you, he would let you do whatever you wanted. But now... this one has changed. He has his own wife and children. No matter how much he loves you, he can't love you as much as you want! Just wait and see. This one... won't be able to enjoy his glory for many days."
"That's not the case," Princess of the County Prince was still thinking about this side: "Isn't there a saying, 'If you don't change your father's ways within three years?'"
Prince Dun was happy: "Okay, you still know that you should not change your father's ways for three years?"
He was in a rare mood, and nodded at her from a distance: "Of course the emperor won't treat her badly, but think about her temper. She is used to being called the emperor emeritus. She can't stand the slightest grievance. She dares to challenge the emperor and jumps up and down. If the superior treats her a little coldly, can she bear it? It would be strange if she doesn't lose her temper! Who knows, at some point, the emperor will lose his patience and make a scene. Can the emperor emeritus step down and jump out to protect her?"
The Princess of the County thought so too, so she asked, "Then the eldest prince?"
Prince Dun nodded and said, "Yes, this guy will be able to prosper for at least 20 years. It's a good idea to bet on him!"
So Prince Dun brought his child into the palace.
But being the eldest prince's companion was enough, so he was made the companion of the second prince, Kuier, who was the exiled second son of Emperor Chengsheng, and was the same age as Jiaozi, only a few months younger.
Each family had its own considerations. When the Emperor and Prince Duan's palace had finished their selections, Huo Qijing quickly selected three, not the sons of the royal family, but all from the families of military generals.
He is much more decisive than Yan Shiyue in this regard. Yan Shiyue is the type who doesn't look for a partner for her own children. She thinks all of them are good, but when she really needs to use them, she finds that they all have shortcomings.
But Huo Qijing is very simple. As long as he has a decent family background and a good heart, that's enough.
So they picked a day and sent the child over.
Currently, the largest person in the upper study room belongs to the Seventh Prince, followed by the Ninth and Tenth Princes. Now, there are four more people including Jie'er. With the addition of study companions, it is quite lively.
After sending her son away, Yan Shiyue felt like she was sending her child to kindergarten. Other children there could pick them up every day, but this one had to send them to kindergarten for ten days... She was so embarrassed that she burst into tears.
Then, in order to distract himself, he started to mess with the female teacher.
Now the female teacher from the Jizhou textile workshop has been sent over. Yan Shiyue was thinking of sending people to the newly opened textile workshops in Hangzhou and the two workshops in Jinxiusi, and then to Yuefang and Mengji.
In the past, female teachers would first teach them how to write their own names, and then basic numbers. While they were eating, they could slowly tell the story "Being a Mother", and then pick one or two words and teach them slowly day by day.
I'm not trying to make money from this, I just want peace of mind, and it can be considered as a small contribution I can make for women of this era.
For other people, this kind of thing is very simple. They just need to pick a few with good tempers and literacy. But for Yan Shiyue, she has to think more. She doesn't want to pick the kind of wife and mother who are too good, and of course she can't be unorthodox. She just wants the kind of person who is positive, optimistic, gentle and kind. The whole mental outlook will have a subtle influence on those female workers.
Ding Jiu listened to her silently. Then he asked, "Should we pick them and send them to different places?"
Yan Shiyue choked.
She said, "Anyway, I just want someone like this. Let's take care of this first, and then try out other places."
Ding Jiu added: "Even female workers need to be able to read, so do craftsmen need to be taught?"
Yan Shiyue choked again, and then she said seriously, "I need to teach you."
Ding Jiu asked: "Female workers teach "Being a Mother", what do craftsmen teach?"
She said, "Since they can't read, just teach them the same way as children! Just teach them the Thousand Character Classic!"
"Then why can't female workers teach the Thousand Character Classic?"
Yan Shiyue: “…”
She said, "Ding Jiu, do you believe I'll beat you up if I ask you again?"
Ding Jiu nodded silently and closed his mouth. Yan Shiyue said: "It's not that I don't have a point, I'm just too lazy to explain, do you understand? I am always right, even if I am wrong, I am still right, do you understand?"
Ding Jiu said: "I understand."
Someone came forward and bowed from afar, graceful and elegant.
As soon as Yan Shiyue looked up and saw him, she remembered: "Aren't you the little candy paper?"
Xiao Tangzhi was stunned for a moment, then said, "Your Excellency has a good memory. I am Xiao Tangzhi. I just sent you a post and didn't expect to meet you by chance."
"Well," Yan Shiyue returned the greeting seriously, and said, "Jiu'er, just do as I say?"
Ding Jiu responded, and Yan Shiyue called a Yuwen car and got in before saying, "Xiao Xiaolang, please sit down."
Xiao Tangzhi cupped his hands and leaped forward. Yan Shiyue said, "Actually, I'm not a very rule-abiding person. I was irritated by some Gu-raising people at the time, so I was too direct. Please don't mind."
Xiao Tangzhi said anxiously: "I dare not, it was Xiao who acted rashly."
After returning to the mansion, Yan Shiyue asked him, "Are you the one who was sent out to clean up the mess?"
Xiao Tangzhi said: "Yes."
She asked, "How do you clean up the family? Do you kill them all?"
Xiao Tangzhi said, "No, we have a rule in the Wuxin sect. If we are controlled by Nian Yang, we can no longer do Nian Yang's work. That's why I deceived them one by one. I would only kill those who broke the rules before or didn't know the rules."
He looked at her and said, "We Wuxin doesn't send many people. At most, there are only a few dozen people."
Yan Shiyue nodded: "Then why do you come to see me?"
