Beautiful step by step

Chapter 139

By the time Wei Wei and Yan Heng finished their training and then went out, there was already a queue at the gate of the state school.

Several gentlemen from neighboring villages who cannot speak Mongolian are responsible for today's entry.The student status is a card that Wei Wei has already made. The student's name, age, parents' name, and home address are all written clearly, and the whole family will draw the card at the end.After the registration is completed, these student status cards will be created separately and placed in the Liangzhou government office.

Thanks to the public recruitment a few years ago, Yan Heng really chose some quick-witted assistants.Although these people did not perform well in the imperial examinations, their basic skills in reading and writing were not bad.Those things in the yamen are not difficult in the first place, but the biggest difficulty in doing them is that they are trivial and troublesome.If it is really allowed to be done by Jinshi masters whose eyes are higher than the top, those great talents will feel that they are inferior, and they will inevitably feel wronged when they do it.Once you are passive and slow down, the effect may not be as good as it is now.

The student registration files were organized by the scribes. Although Yan Heng said that they would be in the same place as the household registration, in fact the household registration belonged to the imperial court. Their school, which was only established in one prefecture, did not have much authority to move it.But only a few people know this, and ordinary people don't know this.Even if they inquired, they only knew that the student status was transported to the government office, and they would not doubt it for granted.

"So many people here today?"

Looking at the long queue at the gate of the state school, Wei Wei asked with joy.

Gu Yu also had a beaming face, and she was full of admiration towards Wei Wei: "Madam provides such good conditions, it would be foolish not to come."

Wei Wei felt the same way, regardless of whether reading is useful or not.The state school covers food, clothing, housing and transportation. This alone saves a lot of expenses for each household.As Gu Yu said, it would be foolish not to come here again.

Although she had expected that many people would come today, she was still frightened by the battle in front of her.A few days ago, the children sent by Uzhina seemed to have taken several large cars, but in fact there were 36 of them in total, and they were all packed into one class.However, now only near Liangzhou, more than 360 have been sent.The registration team lined up from the gate of Zhou Xue all the way to the corner of the street, and it seemed that there was a bit of a turn around.

"More people are better."

Following her emotion, Gu Yu nodded, with a look of envy: "It would be great if I could have such a state school when I was young."

"I didn't have it when I was young, but don't I have it now?"

"That's right, Miss Ah Tong is really a star in the sky, there is nothing she doesn't know about."

After praising Ah Tong who taught her how to read and write, Gu Yu looked towards the corner of the street, and Gu Yu was a little worried: "Ma'am, with so many people, do we have enough space?"

This is a problem. After making some calculations in his mind, Wei Wei said: "There are quite a lot of vacant houses on this street. Let's clean up those. This group of people alone is enough. If there are more people... No, we have to Hurry up and make the combination cabinet and desk."

"Madam, don't worry, there are adults watching over there, and the carpenters don't dare to be lazy at all. When the next batch arrives, the new dormitory should be built."

Thinking of Yan Heng, Wei Wei is not only sweet, but also has a deeper impression of reliability.Although he doesn't talk much on weekdays, he will remember every request of hers in his heart, and then he will try his best to help her fulfill it.

"It's better not to delay using it."

After saying this, Wei Wei walked to the gate of the state school.

There is a desk set up at the door, and the master is sitting behind the desk, and is filling in the student card.Seeing her coming, the master made a gesture to stand up.

Wei Wei hurriedly took a step forward to stop him: "I'll just take a look, sir, don't be too polite. There are still so many people waiting behind, sir, hurry up."

Seeing her being so polite, the master showed gratitude.Although the person didn't stand up again, he still nodded to show that he had done enough politeness before picking up a pen and starting to enter again.But this time, I don't know if it was Wei Wei's delusion, he always felt that there was something wrong with the way the master held the brush.

If you have any doubts, ask for a certificate. Walking to the pen stand, Wei Wei picked up another free brush.Hold it in your hand and imagine that you are writing. She has changed several common pen-holding positions, and she finally noticed the clue.After she figured it out, she took a look and saw that the student status card that was being filled in was scribbled, which was very different from the neat handwriting on the student status card that had been filled out and was drying.

Is it because she is here that you are nervous?

Shaking his head helplessly, Wei Wei returned with a friendly smile to the people queuing up for registration.

"Ma'am, look who is here."

Amidst Gu Yu's surprised voice, looking in the direction of her finger, a group of carriages was driving towards the corner of the street.The style of the carriage was very familiar, it was the few wealthy households in Yanjia Village who bought the new ones after receiving the millet share.The most magnificent carriage of the patriarch's family led the way, followed by a long convoy.

Wei Wei also mentioned the matter of recruiting students from the state school during the Chinese New Year to the head of the Yan clan who came to pay New Year's greetings, and asked him to send the children from Yan's village along with him.Previously, she had thought of settling a group of people around Liangzhou first, and then entertaining them well, so the date was set a few days later.When the appointment was made, she only said a very general number like ten days and eight days, but she didn't expect it to be so coincidental.

Even though the dormitory is tense now, she is full of joy when she sees the Yan family members who have come from afar.

"Gu Yu, you go to the yamen and tell the adults first."

After ordering Gu Yu, Wei Wei stepped forward to meet him.Before she could come to the front, the motorcade from Yanjia Village had already stopped, with the patriarch leading the way. After everyone got off the carriage, they came to greet her.

"What is the patriarch doing?"

Before Patriarch Yan could bend down, Wei Wei stepped forward to help him up, knelt down and blamed Wu Ya behind him, and said, "They're all from my own family, why are you talking about such hypocrisy?"

Standing up straight, the patriarch Yan, who was wearing a brand new sheepskin padded jacket, had a red face: "Brother Heng runs this state school, and it really gives all of us surnamed Yan long faces, and the ancestors have a bright face."

While smiling, he gave her a thumbs up and said with a smile: "Brother Heng and daughter-in-law, we all know that you brought up this matter first. The state is good at learning, and the children should study more. Even if you don't become an official You can also learn more. In any case, you are the first to do this, and all of us should be grateful to you."

After he finished speaking, he wanted to bend down again. The patriarch Yan, who was growing old and strong, was so resolute in his courtesy that even Wei Wei couldn't hold it back with all his strength.In desperation, she could only hide to the side, and reluctantly accepted a half-respect.

"Thank you too, you have come from a long way, go back with me to rest first."

Don't say that Yan Heng is now the acting commander. After he was promoted to Zhenfu, he already had a detached position in the Yan family clan.Everyone knows that their husband and wife have a good relationship, and even talking with her is very useful.Not only that, the people of Yanji clan who have made a lot of money in the millet business are now even more obedient to her.

Without asking anything, the carriage turned around and followed her home from a long distance.

Although Yan Heng was promoted, the two still lived in the previous house.Five into the big yard, even if it is still more than enough to install a convoy.

"The first two entrances are for Ah Heng's office, and even I can't walk around at will. Besides, everyone can walk around in the last three entrances. They are all family members and don't have to be too restrained."

Briefly explaining the situation, he ordered the servants of the family to serve tea and cakes, and touched the heads of a few Yan family members who were familiar with him. Wei Wei invited patriarch Yan to the first place.

"Did something happen?"

Since entering the door just now, patriarch Yan has been hesitant to speak, which makes Wei Wei curious: "It's not that I don't know, the patriarch, I will talk about things that don't look right, and I will solve it. It's over. If there is any trouble, you can just say it, they are all relatives, and we can find a way to solve it together."

"There are really two things."

Or two?

Turning the upside-down tea bowl over, pouring a cup of tea for himself, Wei Wei drank it slowly, as if he was listening attentively.

The patriarch tugged at his beard: "One big thing, one not so big, I don't know which one to talk about first.",

"Anyway, I always have to talk about it. Let's talk about it from the small ones over there. Solve the small things first, and then deal with the big things."

"Hey," Clan Chief Yan sighed, "This matter has something to do with the Abao siblings."

"Which girl is Ah Bao?"

The patriarch of the Yan family was very clear: "After all, he is not an important person. It is reasonable for Brother Heng's daughter-in-law not to remember. A Bao, the one from the Zhou family..."

"Oh, I remembered, isn't it the bastard?"

How did you become a bastard?The Zhou family has two children, the daughter Aci was born when she was a concubine, so she can be regarded as a concubine.But her son, A Bao, was born only after she got the right one, so no matter what, he is a legitimate son.

"Isn't he a concubine?" Wei Wei looked like a ghost: "I thought that after selling so much millet and counting so much money, the patriarch should have been clear-headed all the time. There is only one younger brother in my family, Ah Heng, who is in the distant In the capital, Ayun was accepted as a closed disciple by Yishan Layman."

Mentioning Xiaomi and Yan Heng, the patriarch of the Yan family suddenly became extremely sober.

He patted his head, his face full of annoyance: "Look at me, I'm an idiot, it's Aunt Zhou..."

"kindness--?"

Wei Wei dragged out a long voice, and her voice was full of threats. Seeing that patriarch Yan was puzzled, she just opened her mouth to explain, when Yan Heng's familiar voice came from the door of the study: "Zhou Tongfang, or the fire-burning woman surnamed Zhou, patriarch Choose one at random, and change the genealogy when I go back this time. Don't worry, I changed the household registration a few years ago."

Burning the fire lady, Tongfang... Yan Heng's move is really ruthless.Wei Wei originally thought that she was a lowly concubine, which was fundamentally different from a good concubine or a noble concubine, and it could be considered from the side to confirm the status of the untouchables of the Zhou Qianhu clan who did evil in the past.However, now Yan Heng has directly pushed her to the end. Thinking about it carefully, the Zhou family seemed to have cursed at that day, saying that because her marriage with Yan Heng was not approved by Zhou Baihu, it was not counted, but the Yan family is kind and can let her do it. A fire maid, Tongfang and so on.

"Ah Heng, do you still remember?"

How could he forget!With a slight nod, Yan Heng said to Patriarch Yan: "Don't worry, patriarch. Although Tong Dingchao was repatriated due to the emperor's ransacking this time, Abao is a special case. He can continue to stay in the army. As for Aci...she has passed the entrance examination. In a year or two, you can find a down-to-earth family in a neighboring village to marry her, and I will pay the dowry in the village."

After easily setting the future of the siblings, Yan Heng asked: "What is the big deal?"
