Crossing the Homeland

Chapter 226

Although Xia Junyan felt that coming to Chen's mansion might give her a few more looks, but Madam Chen's collection of books must be several grades higher than those in the small bookstore in the town.After thinking about it, she felt that she had made money by exchanging those supercilious eyes for a room full of books.

"Then I'll be more respectful than obedient."

Mrs. Chen is also very happy.She did this because she was thinking that Xia Junyan was running a restaurant by herself, and if she directly proposed a female school to her, she would worry about delaying her business.Shopkeeper Xia on the left and right can also read and write, so it's the same when I take the book and ask her when I meet something I don't understand.

Originally, Xia Junyan planned to mention a few words about the little maid, but Mrs. Chen has treated her to this point, Xia Junyan thinks it is better not to say it, so as not to make Mrs. Chen feel that she is narrow-minded, after all, she is nothing substantive evidence.

Before leaving, Mrs. Chen asked her to pay five taels of silver from the account as the reward for this time.Looking at the heavy five taels of silver, Xia Junyan even dissipated all dissatisfaction.Although the servants of Chen's mansion are very energetic, Mrs. Chen is still a good person. She is dealing with Mrs. Chen, not with other people, just ignore it.

This small banquet was actually a briefing. It was the first time Mrs. Chen proposed the idea of ​​setting up a women's school in front of so many people, and she was eager to know the attitude of the various prefectures in the town.

Xia Junyan originally thought that the matter of the female school had nothing to do with her, but two days after returning from the Chen Mansion, Xiaoyu came back from the outside angrily.

Xia Junyan gave her a piece of watermelon that had just been poured from the well, and said with a smile, "Who is this that made our Xiaoyu angry again? Look at this little blushing."

Xiaoyu glared at her, and said angrily: "People are hitting you in the face, you still have the heart to eat watermelon!"

Xia Junyan stuffed a mouthful of watermelon in her mouth and almost choked her to death, coughing and coughing: "I, cough... What's wrong with me? I've been in the shop for the past few days and haven't gone anywhere. .”

Xiaoyu angrily snatched the remaining half of watermelon from her hand.Qian Gui, who was squatting aside and chewing happily, and Jiang Xiaolian, who was sitting not far away, also looked towards them.

Qian Gui rubbed his mouth, but was still at a loss: "Yes, my aunt has been staying in the shop for the past few days, saying that it's too hot outside, so I'm afraid of getting tanned. I fry all the dishes these days, my aunt said It is to exercise me, but in fact she just thinks there is too much oily smoke."

"Go eat your watermelon! Be careful I will deduct your monthly money!"

Seeing that the two of them were still in the mood for joking, Xiaoyu really lost all anger and looked helpless: "What did you go to the Chen Manor two days ago?"

Xia Junyan said: "I didn't do anything, I just helped with cooking, it's all good."

"What's the matter!" Xiaoyu said urgently, "You haven't heard what's going on outside. Mrs. Chen wants to open a girls' school, and you have to go too shamelessly. Mrs. Chen has a good temper, so I can only reluctantly agree to you. As a result, the ladies in the town were unwilling to send their daughters away when they found out, saying how could it be possible for the lady in the boudoir to be with the wild girls in the country! Unless Mrs. Chen expressly refuses to accept you, they will not go!"
