Chapter 263 Granting Marriage to Ao Guangchun
Yingchun College accepts students. Except for the orphans of the Salesian Bureau, who do not need to be educated, the rest are required to submit to apprenticeships, which are very expensive.
Ordinary people need fifty taels of silver tattoos and can sign a contract of sale. After completing their studies, they can work for the Weaving Department or Chunshan Tea House affiliated with the imperial court, and they can pay their tuition fees with work.
When the deduction is full, the deed of sale will be returned.
If a wealthy family wants to train a maidservant, they need to get a tattoo of one hundred taels of silver. The course is relatively intensive and difficult to learn, but the results are quick.
Young gentlemen come to study, and they need three hundred taels of silver to complete the training. The teaching is in a small class, and we will try our best to accommodate the young gentlemen's time. The homework will be easier, and it is up to them whether they learn or not.
One hundred taels can buy several capable stewards and maids from Ren Yazi!
what to do?
Are you still sending it?
Regardless of whether you think about it in your heart or not, you must have a superficial attitude.
The old man from the aristocratic family gritted his teeth and said: "Send it away! Each young man and young lady will pick out a loyal one and send it over..."
Shu Xiu is too expensive, so you must be loyal when choosing someone.
Cui Chaoyong, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, did not have such concerns. He sent over all the underage young masters and ladies in the mansion and their personal servants and maids without saying a word.
"It doesn't matter what you study, just study it seriously..."
He handed over the money to repair the money one cent at a time.
Cui Chaoyong took the lead, and the emperor praised Cui Chaoyong in the morning court the next day. As a parent official of the household department, he set an example for the household business, which was worthy of recognition.
Cui Chaoyong's eldest granddaughter Cui Zhihua is fifteen years old. The ladies of Yingchun Academy praise Cui Zhihualan for her good nature, gentleness and kindness. She not only studies seriously in the academy, but also takes the initiative to take care of the orphans sent by the Salesian Bureau, setting an example. , a set of glass dishes will be given as a special reward.
As he returned home from the next court, the news spread, and every household was shocked.
Sending a young lady to Yingchun Academy to study, she actually got a reward from the emperor? !
Who can bear this? !
Emperor Tianwu is too smart!
An old aristocratic family came to their senses and said, "This is the Tianwu Dynasty. He is the emperor, and the emperor is heaven. What good will come of going against heaven?"
"Give it away! Give it all away!"
"Tomorrow I will send all the ladies at home to Yingchun Academy!"
Regardless of whether you can learn it or not, having a good reputation of "Lan Xin Hui" will make you stand out a lot when getting married!
For a moment, everyone was shocked and started making arrangements.
There was no young master or young lady in the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion to send them over, so they selected the loyal and clever ones from among the children in charge and sent them over.
All of a sudden, the ladies in charge were full of energy in doing their work! I just feel that I have hope for life in Ningyuan Hou Mansion.
The only one who felt there was no hope was Ao Guangchun.
Because Mrs. Ningyuan Hou was planning to get him engaged, and the betrothal partner was Niu Shiniang.
Ao Guangchun regretted sharing with Hongye his experience of being frightened by Niu Shiniang.
Previously, Mrs. Ningyuan Hou asked her maid Hongye if Ao Guangchun had a sweetheart.
Thinking about her future situation as a concubine, Hongye decisively confessed the past of Ao Guangchun and Niu Shiniang.
Niu Shiniang can scare the young master into silence. After marrying her, the young master will definitely not forget about him once he has a wife.
Maybe the main wife is just a decoration? !
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Ningyuan Hou immediately felt that Niu Shiniang was very suitable to be her daughter-in-law.
A woman who can keep her son from being stupid is tailor-made for her son!
Mrs. Ningyuan Hou decided to marry the Niu family without saying anything.
Ao Guangchun felt like a blow to the head, his head was buzzing.
"Mom, don't listen to Hongye. Niu Shiniang and I really have nothing to do with each other..."
Of course Mrs. Ningyuan Hou knew that her son had nothing to do with Niu Shiniang, but was this important?
unimportant.
"You have such a gentle temper that I can't control you at all, so naturally you have to marry someone powerful. I think Niu Shiniang is very good."
Emperor Tianwu heard that Mrs. Ningyuan Hou was attracted to Niu Shiniang and was silent for several breaths before he asked cautiously: "Sister Yun, are you serious?"
Mrs. Ningyuan Hou knew that Niu Shiniang's father and brother were doctors of the Fu Jiajun and had been Fu Zhonghai's people for a long time. When she heard this, she asked: "What? Is there something wrong with Niu Shiniang's character?" Fu Zhonghai was extremely firm in this regard: "She is absolutely She is a good and upright girl! ”
"Is there any hidden illness in your body?"
"That's not the case. Her father is a doctor, and she is in great health..." It tastes good.
"That's enough!" Mrs. Ning Yuanhou waved her hand, full of domineering.
"But she doesn't look good..."
"There is also a maid in Chun'er's room who has a beautiful appearance and figure."
"The most important thing for a wife is that she has good character and can take care of the house. What should she be afraid of if she doesn't look good?"
At worst, the son would go to the concubine's room more often, and the birth of a child would be recorded in the name of the mistress.
Emperor Tianwu:...
Although but... From a man's perspective, he felt that marrying a wife must be pleasing to the eye.
If you look at your wife and just want to be a brother with her and don't want to be close to her, where will the heirs come from? !
But he didn't dare to say it.
In the end, Fu Zhonghai decreed a marriage.
After receiving the imperial edict, Ao Guangchun's eyesight went dark, and he slumped down on his chair, completely silent.
Mrs. Ningyuan Hou thought her son was hypocritical at first, until she met the brother and sister Niu Doctor and Niu Shiniang outside the palace who were about to enter the palace to express their gratitude.
Niu Shiniang has made rapid progress in martial arts in the army during these days, and has become a fierce general. She can charge into battle more powerfully than ordinary men.
At this moment, she was wearing armor, tall and strong, walking with the strides of a dragon and a tiger, and she couldn't tell that she was a woman at all.
So Mrs. Ningyuan Hou was stopped by a military general in her carriage.
The general clasped his hands into fists and shouted like a bell: "The last general, Niu Shiniang, has seen Mrs. Ningyuan Hou!"
Mrs. Ning Yuanhou looked up at Niu Shiniang and was shocked:! ! !
Is this strong female warrior Niu Shiniang? !
Looking at Niu Shiniang's dark face full of flesh and her taller and stronger body than ordinary men, she had no doubt: this man is really capable of holding a house!
If her son disobeys, she will slap her and knock him out.
Maybe, really, I am too arbitrary?
Is it still too late to go to His Majesty to withdraw the imperial decree?
Doctor Niu's salute woke her up: "Little Niu Gensheng has met Mrs. Ningyuan Hou."
Mrs. Ning Yuanhou came to her senses and stammered: "No...you're welcome..."
Mrs. Ning Yuanhou forgot how she said goodbye to her brother and sister Niu Shiniang. She walked back home with her feet on cotton and felt a rare guilty conscience when she saw Ao Guangchun's sad look.
"Chun'er, if you really don't like Niu Shiniang, will you become your mother and give you some more beautiful concubines?"
Ao Guangchun's face was pale and lifeless: "Mom, no need."
"When my son thinks of Niu Shiniang, even if there is a fairy standing in front of him, he has no evil thoughts."
Mrs. Ningyuan Hou:! ! !
Ao Guangchun returned to his yard as if sleepwalking.
The red leaves not far away met the inquiring eyes of Mrs. Ningyuan Hou.
"Hongye, is what your young master said true?"
Hongye nodded guiltily.
She regretted it.
Yes, the young master had no evil thoughts towards him before.
When his wife comes in, won't he have to be a widow for the rest of his life? !
