The Marquise: I Earn My Own Worship

"Nothing important. I've compiled an analysis of women's studies and would like to show it to you."

Song Shengfu took the letter, glanced at it, and put it in her sleeve pocket.

"In this situation, we should appreciate the beautiful scenery and not forget the beauty around us because of trivial matters."

Song Shengfu said with a smile.

After being here for a few years, my speech has become more elegant.

"That's what the old lady said."

Qiu Zhuo had a smile on his face, and it was obvious that he was in a very happy mood.

In the past ten years, there has never been a day that I felt as at ease as it is now.

Only when she came to Xunlu Girls' School did she know the direction she wanted to work towards in her life.

"Sister Wei, look, this is called a fire cloud."

Song Shengfu pointed to Sister Wei and saw that the colorful clouds in the sky began to turn red as the sun set, and with the surrounding clouds, they looked like charcoal fire.

"I saw it. It's really beautiful."

Sister Wei likes to be with her grandmother, especially like now.

"As the saying goes, if you don't go out when the morning glow is bright, you won't leave the house, but if you go out when the evening glow is bright, you can travel a thousand miles. It looks like tomorrow will be another fine day."

Qiu Zhuo stood next to Sister Wei, and when he lowered his head, he saw the scenery reflected in the little girl's eyes.

"The wisdom of our ancestors is truly marvelous. This is the summation of experience from generation to generation, and it's a valuable resource."

Song Shengfu sighed deeply. Although she used to think that history and culture were profound and extensive, the fast-paced life made it difficult for her to calm down and ponder the connotations of them.

When she comes here, she always inadvertently appreciates the mystery of ancient words.

"Sister Wei, what's your name?"

Qiu Zhuo turned sideways and looked at Sister Wei.

Sister Wei tied her hair into two buns with two small braids hanging on both sides, looking playful and cute.

"Aunt Qiu, my name is Shen Shiwei, the Wei of Lan Wei and Mao."

"Shi Wei, Shi Wei, what a nice name."

After receiving the praise, Sister Wei pursed her lips and felt a little embarrassed.

The person in front of her was her grandmother's close friend. Although she had never met him before, she had often heard of him from her grandmother.

"Are you studying now?"

"Here I am."

"Which girls' school?"

Qiu Zhuo recalled the girls' schools in the capital, but suddenly realized that the capital today was not the same capital she was familiar with back then.

"Have you ever heard of Yi'an Girls' School, Aunt Qiu?"

Yi'an Girls' School?

Qiu Zhuo was surprised that Yi'an Girls' School was still there.

"I've heard that Yi'an Girls' School was once the family school of the Empress Dowager Zhu's family. Many years ago, it was one of the most famous girls' schools in the capital."

Sister Wei's eyes widened slightly, mainly because the teacher who taught them on weekdays had never talked about such things with them, and this was the first time she heard it.

"I've only been in the capital for a short time, so I don't know what's going on right now. However, since the Earl's Mansion has chosen it, it must have some exceptional qualities."

Sister Wei nodded. Although she had never seen other female students, she thought it should be similar.

In fact, the quality of the girls' school is secondary. A decent lady cannot achieve success by relying solely on girls' schools outside.

For them, the most important thing about girls' school is that it is a place to make friends.

In addition to the arts that interest you, it is enough to know a little about them to cultivate your sentiments.

They don't have to rely on these things to win the favor of their husbands.

It’s more about learning how to handle internal affairs and make connections.

Like Sister Wei, her family hired several female teachers. If she wanted to learn the piano, she would take piano lessons. If she wanted to paint, she would ask the painting teacher for guidance.

I also have to follow my aunt from time to time to learn how to manage the household and go out to check the accounts.

Of course, girls also learn a lot of things in school, so when Sister Wei goes to school, her whole day is very fulfilling.

"Aunt Qiu was also from Beijing?"

Sister Wei looked at it curiously.

Qiu Zhuo nodded and then shook his head, "I guess so in the past."

Sister Wei stopped asking and didn't continue.

"Come quickly, I picked two dates. Look how good they are."

Song Shengfu just touched one side and reached out to hook a few hanging date branches.

The red date skin is extremely sweet when you take a bite.

Sister Wei took a date and said, "So sweet!"

"Come, Qiu Zhuo, try some dates from the mountain."

At this time, the voices of a group of people were heard from the small intersection.

"Chun Niang, there's a jujube tree over there. We're almost at the farm. Let's go pick some for the children back home."

As they were speaking, five people appeared from the small intersection, their clothes bearing the logo of Xunlu Girls' School.

"Dean?"

One of them saw Qiu Zhuo sitting under the tree, and there was an old lady and a little girl beside him. When the old man in the village saw them, he thought, "Aren't these the old lady and the little girl from the master's family?"

"It's the old lady and the cousin."

Five women hurried forward to greet him. They were all farm women who were enrolled in the Xunlu Women's School to work.

Chunniang and another one, Chen Shu, were teachers in the girls' school, while the other three were women who worked in the girls' school.

Qiu Zhuo called them over.

"You guys are here to pick dates too, so we just happened to come over and take a look."

"Greetings, old lady, cousin."

As they got closer, Chen Shu and the others prepared to kneel down and salute.

"Hey, hey, get up."

Song Shengfu kindly asked the five people to stand up and said, "Come and eat some dates. I just picked them."

Chen Shu and others took the dates handed over by the old lady with great trepidation.

These are the dates picked by the old lady herself!

They took it but no one ate it for a while. Song Shengfu was a little confused. "Why don't you eat it? Come on, it's quite sweet."

Although Chen Shu and the others did not communicate with each other, they all wanted to take the dates back and show them to their families. They received dates picked by the old lady herself.

But seeing the old lady looking at them, they dropped the dates into their mouths.

It’s really sweet!

"This tree is so tall that we can't pick many dates from below. If you want to pick dates, you need a pole."

"There are some."

A strong woman walked quickly to the other side of the tree and soon came out with a long pole.

"Madam, these were placed here by the farmhands so that passersby can pick one or two dates to eat when they are thirsty."

Song Shengfu just stood on tiptoe to reach a few of them and didn't go to the other side. She didn't expect that there were wooden poles here.

Song Shengfu took Wei Jie'er and Qiu Zhuo away, fearing that the falling dates would hit them on the head.

Among them, a woman named Liu He was responsible for picking dates, and the other four picked them up from the ground and put them in the school bags specially distributed to girls.

Sister Wei also picked up a few from the edge and put them in the small lotus bag she carried with her. It was full in just a few seconds.

Qiu Zhuo took off his purse and handed it to her.

"use this."

Sister Wei squatted, looked up, smiled and said thank you.

She was just having fun, thinking of packing it up and giving it to Aunt Qiu later.

Song Shengfu touched one and was about to put it in her mouth, but was stopped by Suqiu who had been following her silently.

"Madam, these dates are covered in dust. You should wash them before you bring them in."

Song Shengfu withdrew her hand guiltily and gave a dry laugh.

"It's okay, it's okay. You won't get sick if you eat something dirty."
