Yusui Chang'an

Chapter 1156: Operation is stable
After the prince finished speaking, Chu Chengye and Chu Chengyao were unwilling to be outdone and wanted to donate money.

Chu Chengyao said sincerely:

"Xue'er just said something wrong. Even if Miss Lin is unwilling to accept the donation, she must accept mine as an apology."

Others would avoid talking about such embarrassing things, but Chu Chengyao spoke out frankly with guilt in his heart. He did not do it for fame, but just to apologize to his sweetheart, which made people feel very good.

The daughter, who had just learned some of the inside story, now felt even more sorry for Chu Chengyao:
How could such a loyal and honest man fall in love with such a rude and disrespectful vixen!

Lin Jinyan thanked them one by one and declined politely:
“Thank you for your kindness, Your Highnesses and all the gentlemen. I built this Ronghua Hall out of my own will. It was not an act of charity, nor was it done for fame or money.

If we really accept the money from the three princes and the adults, Ronghua Hall will never be able to spend it all in this lifetime, and it will also lose the original purpose of building this school. "

After thanking her, Lin Jinyan introduced the school behind her:
Ronghua Hall was divided into the inner and outer courtyards. The outer courtyard accepted female students for free, and provided them with pens, ink, paper and inkstones. They taught them how to read and write, count and keep accounts, which were simple but practical. They could make a living in the future or work as a manager in a wealthy family.

There is a fee to enter the inner courtyard of Ronghua Hall.

Not only does she teach reading, bookkeeping, but she also teaches music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, wine, flowers, tea, and needlework and embroidery.

The teachers who taught here included not only Master Meng, who had taught countless talented women, but also Yao Huining, the daughter of the Grand Tutor, Feng Siyao, the second daughter of Marquis Pingyang, and two other famous female scholars who were also renowned for their talents.

There are only ten days of classes in the inner courtyard per month, two meals are provided, and the tuition fee is ten taels, which is paid monthly.

Ten taels of silver is the annual expenditure of an ordinary family. Although it sounds a lot, everyone present is not short of money. When they heard about the two female celebrities who have not been out for a long time, they couldn't help but be moved and subconsciously looked at Lin Yanqing:

After all, Master Lin, who is respected by students all over the world, actually invited these two people. "The reason for charging fees is to keep the school running for a long time. The world is more stringent towards women. If I carry the reputation of making money, it may also implicate innocent women who come here to study.

All the fees collected from the inner courtyard will be used for the operation of the school. I have asked the accountant to do the math, and after adding in various expenses, even the monthly wages of servants and guards, the fees will just break even.

Even if there is a shortfall, it won’t be much, and I can make up for it myself.”

After hearing what Lin Jinyan said, the prince and the others had to stop thinking about it, praised her again, and asked Lin Jinyan to announce the opening of the class.

Hong Jiu went out for a while, and came back to whisper something to Lin Jinyan. Lin Jinyan raised her eyes and looked behind the crowd:

"Grandfather, the princes and princesses from Yeliang and Pingnan are also here. Why not call them over to see the customs of our Tianchu people?"

Everyone turned around when they heard the voice. Since Lin Jinyan, the master of the school, had spoken, the prince and his two companions followed the etiquette of a great country and invited Hua Yuncheng and his party in.

Looking at the female students who had changed into school clothes, they entered the school in a restrained line under the gaze of everyone.

Liang Zechuan and Hua Yuncheng both nodded in appreciation:

Girls' schools can learn a thing or two from this.

Ever since Grand Tutor Yao saw Liang Zechuan, his face became gloomy and he looked as if he would keep strangers away. However, Liang Zechuan seemed not to notice and stepped forward to salute, but as expected, he was given a cold shoulder.
