Then Lijia Village began to become lively. Some families living close to Lijia Village even brought their half-grown children to help with picking.
When the children were tired of picking fruits, they would go out in groups of three or five to play. When they heard the sound of reading coming from Lijia Village, they would gather outside the door with curiosity, looking enviously at their peers sitting in the classroom, shaking their heads and reading.
In the children's minds, being able to read and write is an extremely enviable thing, so much so that they stop outside the village school and are reluctant to leave for a long time.
When Li Yan came to deliver paper to Lu Kang, she saw a group of children from other villages lying outside the school. They were thin and small, wearing tattered clothes, and were asking the children in the school for advice.
These children are all relatives and are familiar with each other. The children in the school generously contributed their own writing boards and chalks, straightened their bodies, and imitated the teacher to teach each other in an orderly manner.
Li Yan was holding a stack of papers with a small bundle hanging from her hand, and she placed it on the lesson plan. "Mr. Lu, the children have been learning to write for a while now. I think it's almost time for them to practice calligraphy with pen and paper. I brought some paper and pens for the children. You can use these first, and I'll send more later!"
These papers were later made by Li Yan by adding paper medicine.
It was just dried yesterday. After Li Yan tried it herself, she was very satisfied with it and gave it to me.
Lu Kang picked up a slightly yellowed piece of paper and touched it with his hand. The paper was smooth and felt slightly rubbing to the touch. He had copied many books in the bookstore and used paper of various prices, but he had never seen paper like this.
After he touched these papers, he felt that this kind of paper was very tough. It should be very good at absorbing ink for writing with a brush and not easy to smudge. It can be used to make books, not to mention practicing calligraphy.
Lu Kang put down the paper in his hand and asked, "Miss Li, what kind of paper is this? Where can I buy it?"
Li Yan paused. How should she explain this? Should she tell him that this paper couldn't be bought anywhere else, that she made it herself?
She pondered for a moment, then said, "This is called straw paper. Master Lu, feel free to use it if you want to practice calligraphy. However, I asked someone to bring this paper to you, so I'll have to ask for it next time I see someone."
When Lu Kang heard her say this, he quickly declined. He didn't want to trouble others.
Coming out of the dormitory, Li Yan saw children gathered together, chattering happily. In their bright eyes, Li Yan saw longing.
From the children's eyes, Li Yan saw something called desire.
Li Yan turned her head away, unable to bear watching such a scene any longer. She sighed helplessly in her heart. She was not yet able to support the education of the children in the nearby villages. She had to wait a little longer until her peppers were grown. Humph, then she would definitely make a fortune.
When the time comes, we will use this money to expand the school and provide a place for children in nearby villages to study and learn to read!
Li Yan planned this in her mind.
Li Yan was busy in full swing, while General Qin and Qin Yue received the letters from the capital almost at the same time.
After reading the letter again, General Qin in the military camp felt a pang in his heart. This was the next move of the princes after the last test.
Did he figure out the emperor's thoughts and wanted to win him over, so he set his sights on Yue'er?
Qin Bin tapped the desk lightly with his fingers again and again. If there were any followers who were familiar with General Qin, they would know that this was his habit of thinking about countermeasures.
The lady wrote to say that she had already told the Second Prince's wife that he already had a daughter-in-law in mind. In fact, the wife's statement was the best.
If my son has already been engaged here, then those people's intentions will be directly cut off.
The image of Li Yan, whom he had only met a few times, appeared in his mind.
She is a smart, clever and active little girl. Judging from the reports from the servants, many of her son's businesses are related to her. I just don't know if the two of them have such a fate.
Even though he thought this method was the best, he would not make a decision arbitrarily. He thought about the response strategy in his mind and would ask his son for his opinion when he returned home in the evening.
On the other side, Qin Yue also received a letter from the Fourth Prince.
After he finished reading the contents of the letter, his face darkened visibly.
When he was in the capital, these people only thought that he was a complete playboy, but now they think he is a hot commodity and they all want to take advantage of him.
He definitely cannot marry someone who has any connection with those people. Once he is branded by those people, even his father will most likely be implicated. If the new emperor ascends the throne in the future, he will definitely dislike his father.
Just imagine that as a general with a large army under his command, if he is disliked by the Emperor, the fate that awaits him will undoubtedly be to be abandoned after the bird is killed and the bow is put away, and the dog is cooked after the rabbit is dead.
Qin Yue would never let these people succeed in their plan no matter what.
But now these people have set their sights on him? How can he thwart their plans?
How about getting engaged here?
As soon as this thought came to his mind, Li Yan's bright eyes and sly smile couldn't help but emerge in his mind.
Since when did this little girl seem to have entered his life and his heart?
From the suspicion and tentativeness when they first met, to humbly asking her for advice on high-yield crops, to the direct cooperation between the two of them later, one thing after another flashed through his mind.
He was attracted by her boldness and enthusiasm, her wild ideas, and her enthusiasm towards every person and thing.
She treats people with sincerity. No matter it is her grandson who was hit by a carriage or the refugees who fled their hometown, even though these people have nothing to do with her, she is willing to help them.
He saw sincerity and respect for life, warmth and kindness in that girl.
In the past, he was surrounded by endless indifference and alienation. He endured in that cold place for more than ten years, and after his wings grew hard, he finally escaped from there.
During this year, he met a girl who was sincere to others. There seemed to be light on her body. Wherever she was, people there had hope, and his heart seemed to be attracted by such warmth!
Qin Yue was shocked by the sudden thought that came to his mind. Since when did he have such an idea?
