Qin Qiong cleared his throat again.

"Forget it. You won't understand even if I tell you. Anyway, just listen!"

"'Dexin Academy' recruits all those aged 5 to who want to study, take the imperial examination, learn to read accounts, learn to write, and write poems. Both men and women are welcome! As for men, if they don't study and don't know etiquette, what future do they have?"

"And for this girl... we've added a subject. Home Economics!"

"Do you know what it is? It's to teach girls how to cook better dishes! Look at the food here, you can't even cook good food. Go try the food made by Daixiang in our house, that's what's edible!"

"Of course, and also teach them embroidery and clothing making. I tell you, there is a lot of skill involved. Clothes repaired by good women are both beautiful and durable!"

"Also, how to adjust the daily routine and teach the children is the most important thing! Don't you know? If the father is stupid, the mother will be stupid too! Whether the mother knows reason and right from wrong is the most important condition for the future development of a family!"

"As the saying goes, a good girl is sought after by a hundred families. If your daughter is well-educated, well-mannered, and knows how to weave and manage the household, then she will be sought after by a hundred families! This betrothal gift... can be collected more, right!"

Qin Qiong was speaking excitedly when she suddenly realized that no one was talking and was just looking at her. She thought everyone had talked too much and was dizzy.

She thought about it and gave up. These guys were all relatives of convicted officials, and there should be some educated people in their families.

She coughed twice and laughed, "Anyway, that's it. It's better for children to study together. It's not safe for a woman to be alone at home. If we are together, we will have friends and can take care of each other."

No one spoke, they just looked at each other.

no solution anymore.

Qin Qiong shrugged and waved his hand at everyone, saying, "Forget it. Anyway, in three days, when the academy opens, we will set off firecrackers. When everyone hears it, just go and show your support. Let's go!"

She said she was leaving and left in a very cool manner.

When the people downstairs saw that she had left, they secretly looked up at the door on the second floor, where a person was standing.

Yes, there was a man standing there just now, looking at Qin Meiniang who had her back to him.

When Qin Qiong was talking and shouting there, he walked out and looked at her, with no smile or anger on his face, just looking at her.

Of course, the people below know this person. He is King An Ning, the king here.

Hong Hecheng just arrived here yesterday.

He originally came to see the mine for the New Year celebrations and didn't need to stay here, but for some reason he wanted to take another look at this place, so he came to this headquarters.

At dawn, he heard the commotion outside. He didn't want to go out, but when he heard the woman loudly saying that she wanted to open an academy and become the sect leader, he couldn't help but go out.

The woman seemed more energetic than when she first arrived. She was still as bright and beautiful as ever, and exuded vitality and confidence in her every move.

His clothes were still weird and his hair was even more disfigured, but he looked so energetic.

Seeing her leave, King An Ning turned around and went back into the house. After thinking for a while, he said a few words to a guard beside him. The guard bowed and went out.

He walked back to the desk, and the two men in official uniforms behind him hurriedly returned to their seats.

One of them was the consul of the local mine, and the other was an official sent here by the imperial court.

Qin Qiong didn't know that someone had just seen her. She left the office and went back to their old courtyard. She had agreed with Aunt Mei that they would move together today.

When she arrived at the door, she saw Qu Tou talking to Aunt Mei and bowing to her. Qin Qiong's intuition told her that something happened, and it was probably about her again.

However, this was not a big deal, and Qu Tou wanted his daughter to go and stay at Zhang's house for a few days.

Because the project here is too busy, he can't leave his daughter alone at home, he is worried. He wants to ask Aunt Mei to take care of her.

Of course, people can pay.

Of course Aunt Mei would not refuse, let alone ask for money.

When the Qin father and son first arrived here, they might have starved to death if Qu Tou hadn’t helped them.

Of course she was grateful, but she still formally told Qin Qiong about it.

Qin Qiong was so excited!

Okay, it's rare that Aunt Mei speaks to her in a normal tone. In the past, whenever Aunt Mei spoke to her, she would roll her eyes either before or after.

Qin Qiong deeply realized that this master must have done something to this concubine in the past to make her hate her until now!

Qin Qiong and his family moved out, but the house was still allocated to them. Qu Tou suggested that the workers he hired should live there first, so that they would not have to spend money to find a place and could save some money. Qin Qiong had no objection.

In fact, she had no opinion on many things because she divided up all the tasks.

She would ignore it if she could, and she told them that this is called a high level of trust!

At the same time, Luo Tou was talking to the old man who had helped Qin Qiong sharpen his knife in the field.

The old man listened quietly, then he looked into the distance, and after a long time he sighed softly: "Xiu Gu ah..."

The three days passed quickly, and all the rooms in the Zhang family were cleaned. The tablet of Confucius and the incense table were placed again in the main hall.

The plaque of the academy has been hung up, and a red cloth has been hung on it, waiting to be taken down on the day of reopening.

A long table was set up in the yard, and Xiu Gu borrowed various types of stools from various families. A plate of food was placed at intervals on the table, with all kinds of dishes.

Xiu Gu said that this was the rule, and anyone who came to congratulate would also bring a dish or a staple food.

This is called a long table banquet, also known as a flowing banquet.

Because the people who come to congratulate can choose their own time, and the gifts they bring are also determined by their own abilities.

The host sets the time and invites the prestigious elders of the clan to start the banquet. After that, the villagers in the town can come to congratulate and eat at the banquet according to their own time.

This kind of banquet would be set up for at least one day, and in wealthy and prestigious families, it would be set up for three days.

Xiu Gu has completely changed in the past few days. She is busy all day long and doesn't seem tired.

She was not at all unhappy about Qin Qiong and his family moving into her house.

She is a grateful person, so she respects Mr. Gao even more.

Qin Jinchang, the eldest uncle of the Qin family, occupied the main room, and Xiu Gu had no objection.

Qin Qiong changed some of the original layout of the yard, and she had no objection.

Young Master Qin wanted to have his own room, so Xiu Gu gave up her own room and wanted to live in the woodshed at the back so that she could give a room to Aunt Mei.

Qin Qiong did not agree and asked Xiu Gu to stay in her own room.

The Qin family members can go find a house on their own and first come first served.

In the end, the young master had his own, and the old man and Daixiang also had theirs.

Qin Qiong had no choice but to squeeze in with Aunt Mei.

That morning, Xiu Gu got up early, washed carefully, changed into her best clothes, and walked out of the room to greet the morning light.

Today is the day when their "Dexin Academy" reopens.
