Only this green, not disappointing the spring

Zou Chunya wanted to jump up after hearing this. She held Shangguan Qingyue's hand tightly, her eyes full of pleading:

"Ruoxi, Qingyue, I really need your help. If our Jingsi Temple can have a way to make a living, I will do anything you ask me to do!"

Shangguan Qingyue raised her eyebrows slightly.

"Oh, you can really do anything for me? Even return to secular life?"

Zou Chunya's face immediately fell and she lowered her head in frustration. When she raised her face again, it was already full of tears.

She choked up.

"There is a mother in the family who wants to marry into a rich family even if it means her daughter becomes a concubine. I can't go back to that home anymore.

Ruoxi, Master, I know you are all doing this for my own good, but can you please respect my wishes?"

Shangguan Qingyue gave Master Jingsi a look that said "I'll tell you what I want to say" and took out a handkerchief to wipe her friend's tears.

"Chun Ya, if you became a monk just to escape from that home, I have another way out. See if you are willing to go.

If you don't want to, I will not persuade you to return to secular life. I will come to Jingsi Temple to see you often in the future, okay?"

There were still tears on her long eyelashes. Zou Chunya blinked hard in surprise to make her vision clearer which was obscured by tears.

"What, what way?" she asked hopefully.

Li Xiaoxi and Xiao Shitou, who were sitting nearby and listening quietly, looked at each other in tacit understanding, then turned their heads and pricked up their ears to listen attentively.

Shangguan Qingyue took a sip of the bitter tea that numbed her tongue, and then pretended to be nonchalant and said:

"I have an academy in the capital, which accepts homeless beggars or children from poor families.

Now, I plan to build a branch in Xiangxue Village. Would you like to be a female teacher in the academy?"

"Does the academy even accept girls?" Master Jingsi couldn't help but exclaimed, covering her cheeks with her furry gloves, looking cute and funny.

Little Stone said proudly:

"Yes, Qingxin Academy accepts both men and women. Not only can you learn to read and write there, you can also learn a craft you like, and even learn medicine.

Our Ruoxi is kind and capable, she is the best person in the world!"

"Yes, my sister is the best!" Li Xiaoxi echoed without wanting to be outdone.

Nun Jingsi was laughing so hard that she couldn't stop. She also laughed heartily. The atmosphere became more and more relaxed, and Zou Chunya's depressed and sad mood completely improved.

After learning more about Qingxin Academy, she finally nodded in agreement.

Although her father was only a seventh-rank county magistrate, she grew up with him by her side. Although she was not proficient in the Four Books and Five Classics, she was at least familiar with them.

If I go to the academy to teach the little kid how to read, it should be no problem.

It was already winter, and the ground was getting harder and harder as time went on. The expansion of the academy would have to wait until the beginning of next spring.

Therefore, Zou Chunya did not need to rush to return to secular life. Upon hearing the news, her expression obviously relaxed.

Shangguan Qingyue's trip was a complete success. After returning, she immediately told Li about her plan to build a small handicraft workshop in Lengxiang Village.

As Shangpin Pavilion's business became more and more prosperous, Li had originally planned to expand the workshop. However, because the land was now very valuable in the village, the expansion was delayed.

Watching the women in the workshop working with their fingers flying, making the best-selling warm products in winter, Shangguan Qingyue suddenly had an idea.

So she pulled Li into the house to talk in detail.

"Mom, what do you say? We should build a small workshop every one or two villages. This way, it will be more convenient for the workers to do their work, and our workshop will not be restricted by Xiangxue Village."

In fact, it is more than that. If this thing can be done, it will be a great thing that will benefit the people. The only inconvenience is that receiving the goods becomes very troublesome.

After hearing this, Li nodded without any hesitation. She had too many feelings in running the workshop for more than a year.

If this woman has a stable way to earn money, she will suffer less. With money in her pocket, she can stand up straight, and neither her husband's family nor her own family will bully her easily.

So she slammed the table.

"Yuer, let's just settle it. I'm happy even if I make less money!"

Not caring about her red palms, she tapped her fingers unconsciously on the table and soon said excitedly:

"By the way, there is one more thing I want to discuss with you."

Shangguan Qingyue was very pleased to see her mother, who used to be gentle and kind but always had a lingering sadness between her brows, and now had the aura of a strong woman.

She smiled and replied:

"What do you need to discuss with me? Mother, you are now fully capable of taking charge of things on your own. You can make your own decisions.

These two workshops are left to you for your own use. Woman, you can live a stable life only if you have money."

Li's eyes turned red as she heard this, but she shook her head repeatedly.

"Mom, no. I only have you two sisters. But I will take good care of your things. Not to mention your uncle, even Xiaonan can't take advantage of you."

Shangguan Qingyue took a few deep breaths, suppressed the sour feeling, and said with a smile:

"Haven't I already mentioned this to you in my previous letter? The two shops I opened in the capital are doing so well that people are jealous of them.

What's more, whether it's Wangyou Inn, Shangpin Pavilion or Huichuntang Health Center, I have 30% of the profit. Your daughter is now a real rich woman.

You should keep these two workshops well!"

Li shook his head disapprovingly.

"Do you think I don't know? That Qingxin Academy doesn't charge students a penny and is responsible for their food, clothing and other expenses. Now you want to open another one, it's a bottomless pit, I don't know how much money you have to fill it with.

But I particularly support you opening a school. This is a great good deed to accumulate virtue for yourself, and I will also work hard to earn money for you!"

The mother and daughter argued back and forth, but Shangguan Qingyue finally gave in. She had never known that her mother was so clear about money!

She sighed quietly in her heart and thought to herself, forget it. Anyway, she will take good care of her mother in the future. So it doesn't matter who these things belong to.

Shangguan Qingyue was very busy these days, and Xuanyuan Yan was also busy. However, apart from knowing that he was arranging matters for the academy, she didn't know anything else.

After Xuanyuan Yan hadn't returned home for five days in a row, Shangguan Qingyue finally became a little worried. She asked Bai Er, who was waiting at home,

"Brother Bai Er, do you know what the prince has been busy with these days? Why hasn't he come back for so long?"

Bai Er let out a long sigh, his reaction was so exaggerated that it was puzzling. Couldn't she ask?

The other party seemed to have opened the floodgates and started talking.

"Princess-to-be, you finally remembered my master! If you can't remember him anymore, the prince will be sad."

"Uh, why is that?"

"Before leaving, the master was unable to say goodbye to you in person, so he asked his subordinates to tell you in detail about his trip if you asked, but there was no need to mention it specifically if you didn't ask.

I have been waiting for five days!"

Bai Er had a sad face and looked like he was about to cry.

Shangguan Qingyue: I seem to feel a little guilty!
