Chapter 51 Good Deeds
"Sister, I think you can punch like you're dancing, why don't you learn to dance instead of martial arts." Zhuhua half-truthed Yinhua while taking advantage of the time.

Yinhua flushed with anger, "Bah, you little girl came here to ruin your sister's reputation!"

"When did I ruin your reputation?" Zhuhua asked puzzled.

"You..." Yinhua pointed at her, so angry that she didn't dare to say more to her, she stomped her foot and left.

"Why is she angry again?" Zhuhua asked Qiuyun behind her in puzzlement.

"Miss, how can a decent girl learn to dance? It's all learned by the lower class." Qiuyun explained that sometimes her lady is sensible like an adult, and sometimes she doesn't know the world. normal.

"That's it." Zhuhua was stunned, but she clearly remembered that some ladies on TV would perform dances, so she should be able to learn it?In any case, she didn't know as much as the natives.She immediately chased after her, smiled at Yinhua: "Second Sister, I only said it because of your beautiful movements, but there is no other meaning. I am still young, so don't bother with me."

"I don't bother to talk about your broken mouth."

"I know that the second sister has a big heart and won't care about my child. Second sister, you look really good when you practice martial arts, especially when you turn around. It's a pity that you can't wear skirts when you are practicing martial arts, otherwise the skirt will look even better when you turn it around. .”

Yinhua hooked the corners of her mouth and said nothing more.

"Second sister is tall and thin now. After practicing martial arts, she even looks better standing than other young ladies. In a few years, people who come to ask for marriage will be lined up from the gate of the house to the gate of the city."

"You." Yinhua cast a reproachful look at her, and took out a newly made purse from her bosom, "I just made it yesterday, let me give it to you."

This pouch is embroidered with two red and yellow peonies, and pearls are strung on the lace. It looks very precious, if only it were not green.Zhuhua pretended to happily accept the purse in bold colors, and after a long while, she boasted: "Second Sister, your sewing has improved again."

"That is, you have to practice more, but you can't stop doing it just because you are young."

"I'm busy practicing calligraphy."

"What's the point of practicing calligraphy?" Although Yinhua likes to study with Qinglan, she doesn't like to practice calligraphy. The characters she writes are not as good as Zhuhua who practiced diligently, but better than Jinhua who doesn't like to use a pen.

"Since the second sister wants to be a lady of the family, she naturally has to practice her handwriting well. Which lady's handwriting is like a dog crawling. We were late in learning. If we don't practice, we will not be able to do it."

"A woman's lack of talent is virtue, do you know that?"

"Second sister actually still believes this. Now women can learn martial arts, and reading and literacy are even more important. Second sister, don't give up completely because of a sentence or two from others."

"Nonsense, is your second sister like this?" Yinhua replied with a guilty conscience.

"I know that my second sister has always been outstanding, so if I beat her too much, it won't make sense, right?"

"Your handwriting isn't very good, so don't give yourself too much money."

"Anyway, it's better than yours." Zhuhua stuck out her tongue and said, raised the purse in Yang's hand and ran away quickly.

Yinhua would never go after her regardless of her appearance. She has been a little tired of practicing calligraphy recently. Thinking about it now, she still needs to practice this calligraphy, so as not to make people laugh at her in the future.

When it came to Qingming in March, this time it was Jinhua who went back with Uncle Li, and Aunt Li was upset, so she stayed in the village with Xiaoya.Jin Hua was a bit reluctant to go this time, she was very excited about practicing martial arts.When she came back from worshiping her ancestors, she rode a horse and walked ahead alone.In order to come back sooner, she learned how to ride a horse.

Mrs. Lin and Nanny Wang also got leave to go home to worship their ancestors.Mrs. Sun couldn't go back, so she had a remote sacrifice at home on Qingming Day, and talked about the past with her daughters.In the past, Zhuhua only went to Sunjia Village for grave-sweeping, and she had the impression that the people in the village were very united and helped the widowed and lonely elderly whenever she could.

"Mother, are there many people who study in the village?" Zhuhua asked, Cheng Dashan has no clan members, and the only ones who can help him in the court are fellow robes, but the Sun family comes from a big family.Almost all the people in Sunjia Village have the surname Sun and come from the same family. Although they haven't produced any prominent figures, they might be able to support the Sun family after a little training.

"The rich people in the village would send their children to learn a few words. My grandfather's generation in the same village even had a county magistrate, which was a great event at the time."

"It would be great if there was a school in the village, let everyone go to study."

"You girl has a good idea. Who doesn't know that studying is good, but it costs a lot of money to raise a scholar. Few families in the village can afford it."

"Why doesn't anyone pay to set up a school for people to study for free?"

"Do you think that rich people in the world are all empty-headed?"

"It's empty. It's good to set up a school and let acquaintances come to study. Look at this year's scientific examination, I heard that half of the people are scholars from poor backgrounds, and the top three are also from poor backgrounds, and they are directly appointed high-ranking officials. If so Rich people train a few high-ranking officials, and then they can walk away sideways."

"As long as you're smart, how did your brain grow?" Mrs. Sun said, nodding her head.

Zhuhua really thinks this is a good idea, but she doesn't know how much money the family has, and she doesn't know if she can afford such a school?Mrs. Sun really listened to what she said, turned around and checked the private treasury, and discussed with the senior executives, and the matter was quickly settled.

After her husband became a high official, Sun always felt uneasy.Thinking about the hard times she lived in the past, and looking at the present, she couldn't help but feel a little flustered. How could her old Cheng family be so lucky that they could live a good life without worrying about food and clothing.She has also been to the cemetery of her father-in-law and her mother-in-law, but she has never heard of how good it is. If it is a good place, the people of Lijia Village would not give it to a newcomer like the Cheng family.Her family has butchered pigs for several generations, and her father often advised her to be kind to others, because the business of butchering pigs was unlucky. His father also said that he didn't have a son, maybe it was because he killed too many pigs.

Mrs. Sun didn't believe it before, and now she doesn't believe it even more, but if it is said that her man became a high official purely by virtue of his ability, she is even less convinced.Especially after hearing Cheng Dashan's story about how she met the current emperor, she thought that stupid people have stupid blessings.In order not to run out of this blessing all at once, she now goes to the temple frequently (always once or twice a month, and used to go when she was free during festivals).But this still couldn't make her feel at ease, so she wanted to do something good.

When it comes to good deeds, she can only think of building bridges and roads.It's just that the roads in Sunjia Village and Lijia Village are not too bad. There is nothing to repair. Although the roads are dirt roads, all the roads in the four miles and eight towns are dirt roads.Just when she was thinking about other good things to do, Zhuhua gave her a new idea.Yes, she can run a school, which is a great thing to benefit future generations.She immediately settled down, and when the sent out person arrived at Sunjia Village, she thought of telling Cheng Dashan and asking when he would come back by the way.
