The weather was clear and the sky was blue, and there was not even a trace of floating catkins. It was like a top-quality solid brocade, filtering out all the colors.

Yue Yao and her party were preparing to set off early, and many people came to see her off. The neighbors on Xitang Street came, the patriarch and several clan elders also came, and several wives of the official family.

Shu Yao said to the clan leader: "Grandpa, the elder brother repeatedly told me that clan studies must be managed carefully. If the Xia family wants to become stronger, it is not enough to rely on one or two people. The land used to support clan studies is enough. I hope that the clan leader and all the grandfathers will control the use of these land. Yongping Hou Mansion will also allocate a certain amount every year to help those clans who are particularly good at studying and have difficulties in their families."

Shuwen also said: "My sister-in-law donated money to the clan to do a girl's school. My sister-in-law has entrusted her to her (the youngest son of the fifth grandfather, Jiulang) Jiu's sister-in-law. I would like to ask all of you to supervise and support me."

The Xia family girl's education is divided into two parts. One is a school for girls under the age of thirteen to learn, and the other part is to teach simple word recognition and number recognition, as well as embroidered female red. As long as you want to learn, you can learn at any age. It is mainly to help some women in need to learn a basic living skill. Embroidered female red is the most common and most suitable way for women to make money.

This female learning model was first run by the Nangong family. It is better to teach people how to fish than to teach people how to fish.

The patriarch and the fifth grandfather and others nodded quickly: "Don't worry, don't worry, the clan will definitely attach great importance to these two schools." It is related to family revitalization and descendants, and the Yongping Marquis' Mansion has already taken the lead, so how dare they not pay attention to it?

The masters of the Yongping Marquis Mansion are not old, but they are definitely not fooled. If the clan dares to take it lightly, they will definitely "dare" to ignore the affairs of the clan in the future. That is, no matter how much affection and righteousness is emphasized, people are willing to contribute to the revitalization of the family, but it does not mean that they are willing to be surrenders. For example, the land that the Yongping Marquis Mansion studies, has a dedicated person to check the accounts every year.

Nangong Miao smiled while holding his shoulders with his younger siblings, "Then please ask the clan leader and a few grandpas. If you have any questions, you can ask someone to send a letter to the capital, or you can hand it over to the shopkeeper Ma (the shopkeeper of Qiaoweiju, Yulin County. The great manager of the Yongping Hou Mansion in Yulin). As long as it is beneficial to the clan and reasonable, the prince will definitely consider what we can do."

The patriarchs laughed and said, "Okay." Nangong Miao is not only a rich master, but also a rare thing. He is reasonable and goes with Shujie. This time he actually took out his dowry and money to run a female school for the Xia family. There is such a mistress in the Yongping Hou Mansion. Not only Shujie's blessing, but also the blessing of their Xia family.

"Brother Jie's daughter-in-law," the clan leader hesitated several times, and finally spoke, "Shuyi, the Dalang of Xia Mansion, has been a gentleman in another private school for two or three years. He has a good reputation. He... He heard that our clan studies still needs to add an enlightenment gentleman, so he wanted to come over. First, because our clan studies are well treated and close to their mansion, and second, he also wants to do something for the clan. You... can you see if you can accept him?" Most of the money for building clan studies and purchasing clan studies comes from the Yongping Marquis Mansion, and now the Yongping Marquis Mansion is also the biggest reliance of the Xia family. Who in the clan knows that the Yongping Marquis Mansion has broken off from the Xia Mansion, so you naturally have to worry about the opinions of the Yongping Marquis Mansion.

In fact, when my grandfather came to the mansion two days ago, he had already talked about this. Shuyao asked someone to ask. Shuyi taught in his wife Cheng's private school in recent years. He was responsible for enlightenment and had a good reputation. No matter how you cut off your relationship, he always had a lineage. Xia Linxuan closed his eyes and told Shuyao the three brothers and sisters about his grandfather's deliberate training for him back then. And now Xia Shuyi just wants to get a job in the clan school based on what he learned and dedication. Shuyao and the others don't think there is any reason to object.

Nangong Miao replied: "Grandpa, the clan leader, the clan school has fixed procedures and requirements. As long as Xia Shuyi meets the order, there is nothing wrong with it. Although our Yongping Marquis Mansion follows the will of the father, they are still members of the Xia family. Under the same conditions, Xia Shuyi can naturally obtain errands in the clan school more than the clan outside."

The patriarch nodded quickly: "Okay, okay, I understand. Brother Jie's daughter-in-law, you are all good children who are familiar with the general and are kind. Your great-grandfather has a spirit in heaven, so he will be glad that he has your descendants. This is also the blessing of our entire Xia family."

Nangong Miaoyingying gave half a junior gift (she was with her imperial edict, and the patriarch was just a scholar and could not bear the full gift): "The patriarch's grandfather was too honored, and the greatest relief for the father before his death was that he did not let down his great-grandfather's love and cultivation for him."

Xia Shuyi did not dare to come forward and hid far behind the crowd, but his wife Cheng Yunqiu heard the conversation between Nangong Miao and the patriarch clearly, and she was so excited that she burst into tears. She quickly retreated behind and told Xia Shuyi.

Xia Shuyi sighed, both grateful and ashamed: "The second uncle and his team can have today's glory. In addition to their abilities, they also have our incomparable character and demeanor."

Cheng Yunqiu nodded secretly, glad that her husband was clear-headed and not assimilated by his brainless parents. The Xia Mansion is the best, and her life is not easy. She is disliked both inside and outside the mansion. The old ladies and parents-in-law in the mansion were angry that she did not take out the dowry to supplement the mansion. People outside the mansion also despise her and alienated her, naturally because she is from the Xia Mansion, and the Xia Mansion has long been infamous.

This time, the couple hoped that Shu Yi would get the opportunity to be a teacher in the clan. In addition, the treatment of clan school is indeed much higher than that of her cousin's private school, they also wanted to make some contributions to the clan through their own efforts and get closer to the clan.

Old Mrs. Xia is elders, and they are stubborn. They can't persuade them, so they can only do their own things and take good care of their own house and their children. If possible, Cheng Yunqiu really wants to separate the family and would rather leave the house. With Shu Yi's Shu Xiu and his own dowry, which is not too small, but not too meager. (Cheng is smart and conceals half of the dowry), he doesn't have to be too rich, at least he can have food and clothing, and he is in a relaxed mood, right?

Xia Shuyi didn't know what his wife was thinking? However, he was the eldest son. Even if he really separated, his grandmother and his parents would have to live with him. How could he be separated from him alone? What's more, his younger brother Xia Shuyao has not yet gotten married.

Xia Shuyao failed the Juren exam last fall again. He is about to be twenty-three this year. Now the Xia family is not able to make ends meet, but he still does nothing. He always wants to "continue to study hard" and swears that he will definitely pass the exam in three years.

Thinking of Xia Shuyao and the current situation in the Xia Mansion, Xia Shuyi and his two good moods were replaced by troubles.

The people of Xia’s mansion who were waiting in the mansion saw the miserable clouds on their faces, and naturally thought that the matter of joining the clan school was gone. Xia Linyu asked repeatedly: “Why did the clan leader tell them? They refused directly?”

Zhou snorted: "Those little bitches wish we could die. How could they give Shuyi such a good opportunity? I've said it long ago. I told you to die, but I'd rather embarrass you! Which of the dead old men in the clan is not surrounding them now?"

Xia Shuyi frowned and said, "Mom, you can't speak...that? The Yongping Marquis Mansion is not that stingy! If they were like you, we would have been desperate." With the status and ability of the Yongping Marquis Mansion and Shujie today, as long as the three brothers and sisters Shujie want, they will not have to come forward. The Xia Mansion can no longer stay in Yulin.

"..." Zhou's face turned red by his son, and his mouth was still stubborn, "Do they dare?"

Yu sneered: "What are they afraid of? What are you trying to catch someone? Or do you do anything about the Yongping Marquis Mansion, the Wenyuan Marquis Mansion, or the Nangong Family?"

Xia Linyu glared at Zhou impatiently, turned around and asked Shuyi and the others: "Tell me quickly. What's going on? Have the patriarch asked?"

Cheng Yunqiu repeated the conversation between the clan leader and Nangong Miao. "When we came back, we happened to meet Mr. Dai, who was in charge of clan school, and asked my husband to go to clan school to go through the procedures in the past few days."

Xia Linyu breathed a sigh of relief. Since Xia Ruoxue and Li returned to Yulin, they had no hope of buying an official for Shuyi. In a furious manner, Xia Linxuan claimed that he had broken off his kindness with them. Just imagine, there was no way out and now he is notorious. Who would sell the official position to them at the risk of offending Jin Xida and Xia Shujie?

The Xia family's school is well treated. Not only are the gentlemen in charge of the food and accommodation, but they are also responsible for food and accommodation. The newly built small courtyards behind the school are all prepared for gentlemen who come from other places with their families. As long as they teach in the school, the family can live in the yard. After ten years of teaching, the yard will completely belong to them.

In addition, during festivals, gentlemen can also receive gift boxes from Qiaoweiju and Mixue Tofu Floor, as well as the newly launched Xia Family Dragon Fruit, which makes them feel that they are highly valued.

Of course, clanology also has high requirements for the qualification requirements, character, morality, and teaching level of gentlemen. The threshold for entering Xia Family School is not low.

The three gentlemen who teach now are all well-known men in Daming Mansion, two of whom are Juren. The Shan Nagato, who is in charge of the entire clan, was once a famous teacher who was a wealthy family in Daming Mansion. He was a Jinshi. Because his personality was not suitable for the officialdom, he resigned from his post and returned to his hometown to become a gentleman after suffering a severe setback.

Mr. Dai and Jin Xida had met several times and had a good relationship with each other. After learning that the Xia family's school was reopened, Jin Xida and Shujie recommended Mr. Dai. Before Shujie returned to Beijing, he went to Daming Prefecture with the clan leader and invited Mr. Dai back.

This time, it was because the only thing that needed to be added was a enlightenment teacher who taught in the junior class that Shu Yi had the opportunity to apply. He knew that after entering the clan, he had to work hard to ask the other three gentlemen for advice, which was also a rare opportunity for him to learn and improve.
