Missy, she likes to make waves

Chapter 175 Building Ci'an Hall

Li Yan drank two sips of pear juice, took a deep look at Mrs. Zhou, and felt that it was time for her step-mother to show her Wanguan family property.

Otherwise, even if she took out a few 10 taels every month, the stepmother would not recognize that she was rich.

On the contrary, they would think that she lived a stingy life, and thought that the money donated to the county government was saved from her fingers.

"Mother-in-law, one side supports another person. I was born and raised in Hejun, so naturally I have to work hard for Hejun. The money I donate is actually for myself."

That is to say, but there are few people in the world who can be like a righteous daughter, and most of the money is for Zhou Bi's official career, how can Mrs. Zhou not understand the painstaking efforts of the righteous daughter.

Li Yan saw through her thoughts, her expression was complicated, "Mother-in-law, don't worry that I have no money, I will tell you frankly, I am really poor and only have money left."

Mrs. Zhou was amused by her, "You have a small mouth, you know how to coax me."

Seeing that she still didn't believe it, Li Yan stuffed the banknote directly into her hand, took her hand and was about to leave, "I'll show my stepmother to see my million-dollar family wealth, so that my stepmother won't always say that I coax you and wait for you to see it." Afterwards, you should understand what I mean."

It's really not good if you don't move the real thing!
Mrs. Zhou was dragged halfway by Li Yan like this, she didn't even finish her pear juice, so she went back to Xiangyaotang.

When they entered the private treasury, they saw what Li Yan said about the Wanguan family wealth.

Mrs. Zhou opened her eyes wide, unable to speak for a long time.

The room is full of rare books and ancient books, antique calligraphy and paintings, and countless exquisite silks and satins.

With so much wealth, the adopted daughter will not be able to spend it all in several lifetimes.

Under Mrs. Zhou's shocked gaze, Li Yan opened the back arm cupboard and several fur boxes, tiger skin, sheep skin, wolf skin, fox skin, too many to look at.

Immediately, boxes of jewelry were opened again, and Mrs. Zhou's eyes were blinded by gold, stone and jade objects.

Mrs. Zhou looked at her dumbfounded, and only at this moment did she really understand the profound meaning of what the adopted daughter said about the poor being only money.

The girl chuckled and said, "Mother-in-law, don't be frightened by these furs, these are just the most insignificant of my daughter's Wanguan family property."

Li Yan put the lid on the box and whispered in her ear, "In order to keep a low profile, my daughter secretly keeps a lot of private goods, and those are her life-saving capital."

So much wealth is less than one piece, how much wealth is hidden by the adopted daughter.

Shock is not enough to describe Mrs. Zhou's mood at this moment, only numbness remained on her face.

Li Yan invited Mrs. Zhou to the side hall to calm her down with scented tea. After a long time, Mrs. Zhou came to her senses, "These are all the wealth accumulated by a genius doctor for half a lifetime. Is it so profitable to practice medicine? Then why do you work so hard in the dark?"

I have a family property that can't be spent in several lifetimes, isn't it good to lie flat?

Li Yan took a sip of her scented tea, and explained slowly, "It is only Miracle Doctor Cai, who has excellent medical skills, who can accumulate such wealth. No one else can. But I will keep the items left by Miracle Cai for future use."

The girl looked at Mrs. Zhou with clear eyes, "The money I donated to the yamen is all earned by myself. As for getting up early and dark these days, it is purely my own hobby, not for the sake of earning those few copper coins. The mother-in-law Don't worry, since I promised my stepmother not to stay up all night, I will definitely do it in the future."

Mrs. Zhou was completely relieved, and she felt ashamed when she thought of the hundreds of taels of silver that had been forced to give to her stepmother.

Hey, I don't know what the adoptive daughter felt at that time, it's embarrassing.

"Since that's the case, the mother-in-law will accept the 20 silver notes."

Mrs. Zhou also talked about Zhou Bi's arrangement, "Your adoptive father intends to run a Ci'an Church in Hejun to take in orphans without father and mother, and the money will be spent on it. At that time, I will hire a few teachers to teach the children. Yan'er, what do you think?"

Li Yan said with a smile, "Yan'er thinks this is a very good move, it's because the adoptive father thought it through."

Li Yan had such thoughts in her heart for a long time, and now Zhou Bi has this idea, which is exactly in line with her heart.

She is currently short of manpower. If the Ci'an Hall is built, these children can be raised by themselves.

You can also pick a few top-notch people out of these people at an opportunity and use them for her.

"If the money is not enough, the adoptive mother can just open the mouth, and I will take care of it, so the adoptive father can just do it with confidence."

The mother and daughter gossiped about the housework again, Mrs. Zhou missed the old lady at home, and went back without having lunch.

In the evening, when Zhou Bi went down to the Yamen, Mrs. Zhou handed over 20 taels of bank note to Zhou Bi, and Zhou Bi looked at her in surprise.

Mrs. Zhou told him about her conversation with her adoptive daughter, "Although Miracle Doctor Cai was indifferent to Yan'er, he still left her a family fortune of ten thousand, which can ensure that she has no worries about food and clothing for the rest of her life."

Mrs. Zhou sighed, "How can a mother be indifferent to her own child?"

"Then this bank note?"

"This bank note, Yan'er, is for you to run Ci'an Hall. If it's not enough, she still has more. Let you do it boldly. It's enough to support you."

Zhou Bi had a lot of thoughts, and after a little thought, he said, "I'm still busy with winter planting, and there are many things in the yamen. There are children in Ci'an Hall, and we need to be more patient and careful with them. It's not appropriate for me to come forward. I can ask someone to build the house of Ci'an Hall first, and leave the rest to you two. I don't know what Madam would like?"

Madam Zhou saw that what he said was reasonable, she thought about it, and then said, "I'll ask Yan'er again, if she agrees, then we will do so."

Zhou Bi thinks it will work.

On the second day, Mrs. Zhou came to look for Li Yan. Li Yan was not surprised at all. The mother and daughter discussed some details, and Mrs. Zhou hurried back to deal with the matter.

Zhou Bi called a craftsman, chose a piece of geomantic treasure land, and ordered people to start working in a hurry.

In the market, rumors continued, "Have you heard? Miss Li and the magistrate's wife are going to establish Ci'an Hall to take in orphans."

"Really? Is there such a good thing?"

"Miss Li still has time off when she does things. The county magistrate has called craftsmen, and they are rushing to work day and night to build houses."

"A notice was posted in the yamen to openly recruit teachers. I heard that if Ms. Li was free, she would go to Ci'an Hall to teach. Many people have signed up."

"I'm going too, I'm going too, I'm so lucky to be able to see Ms. Li pass on her karma and teach her way.

"Then you have to sign up quickly, the gate of the yamen is too crowded."

The news that Li Yan and the county magistrate's wife wanted to establish Ci'an Hall, and the news of taking in orphans also spread among the common people.

The registration point is located in the County Government Affairs Office, and there are many people who come to register.

However, the registration forms received by Zhang San and Li Si in half a day were thicker than the official documents piled up in the yamen.

Fortunately, Ms. Li had the reputation of foresight and limited the registration period to three days.

Otherwise, judging from the high enthusiasm of the people, Li Si felt that someone would come to the door in a year or so.

Because talents are recruited here, the announcement is clearly written, and it is not restricted by age, education and background.

As long as you have a good skill, even if you are illiterate, as long as you pass the interview, Ci'an Hall will accept it without error.
