Chapter 295 Qin Yanlan
When they arrived at the door of Mrs. Qin’s house, Chunlan stepped forward and knocked on the door. After knocking twice, someone answered the door. After asking if it was Chunlan, the door was opened. .
Mother Li took a quick look, and across the street was a girl wearing a green cross-collar skirt with red undertones, and a carved silver hairpin on her head with a calm smile on her face.
"Ms. Qin, I'm sorry for bothering you."
"Is it Mrs. Li Wen? Please come in quickly."
Mother Li and Grandma Sun followed Madam Qin who was walking in front into the main hall.
On the way to the main hall, Mother Li saw that the small courtyard was clean and orderly, with not even a single weed in it.
Mrs. Qin must be a tidy, diligent, and well-behaved person.
When everyone sat down one by one, Mrs. Qin brought out the tea tray. It turned out that it was not ordinary tea, but barley tea.
Ms. Qin was very knowledgeable. Seeing the confusion on Mother Li’s face, she smiled and said, “It’s barley tea.
It's not that I don't want to drink the tea, it's just that it's really nice to have a cup of warm tea with the aroma of wheat in this season.
Li Wenpo, try it now, it tastes good. ”
Mother Li knew about this barley tea, because Li Sanniang mentioned it at home, and it was this barley tea that she ate in the restaurant when her family went to the West Market last time.
Before coming, Mother Li also learned some information about Mrs. Qin from Sun Wenpo and Chunlan.
Ms. Qin is the daughter of a scholar in Lu Di, because her father has a small family. Zi, Mrs. Qin has been studying and practicing calligraphy with her brother since she was a child.
Later, when Mrs. Qin reached her age, her father proposed that she marry an in-law from a family who knew everything about her.
The in-laws of that family had more connections than the Qin family, and actually sent their son-in-law to study at the Imperial College in Chang'an City.
After marrying and following her husband, Mrs. Qin followed Lang Xu to Chang'an, where she also gave birth to her eldest daughter.
However, things did not go as planned. Everything was fine. However, Madam Qin's Lang Xu was caught in the rain and caught wind and cold while hiking with his friends in the suburbs of Beijing.
Although he drank the medicine after coming home and Mrs. Qin took good care of him, the disease became more and more serious, and he died in less than a month.
The little girl and Mrs. Qin, who were only six or seven years old, were left behind.
Originally, Mrs. Qin wanted to bring her daughter back home, but it happened that her brother had just been awarded an official position, so she became the county magistrate in Wannian County in Chang'an City.
Therefore, Mrs. Qin stayed in Chang'an City.
After his daughter was playing with the little girls in the neighborhood and revealed that she could read and write, someone came to her door and asked for some help from Mrs. Qin. It would be better if my little girl could learn some rules and principles and write a few words.
Although there are assets left by Lang Xu, for raising the little girl, Lang Xu's family also gives some money every year, and Mrs. Qin's brother will also help. Although this life is easy, it is also tight.
Therefore, Mrs. Qin agreed and vacated a room in her home as a school.
When one family came, a second family came, and later a boy's family also came to the door.
Ms. Qin declined on the grounds that she only taught female dolls.
For more than ten years, it can be said that most of the literate girls in the neighborhood here were taught by Mrs. Qin, and everyone had to call her "Sir" when they saw her.
After her only daughter was married to a respectable family in Dongmianfang in Chang'an City with the help of her brother and sister-in-law, Mrs. Qin stopped attending this small school.
"Ms. Qin, I won't tell you those lies.
My family established this alliance, and my Sanniang also opened a Wenpo school in the alliance. They all need the help of female teachers. Chunlan must have told you when I was teaching the girls how to read?”
Although Madam Qin was a little surprised by Mother Li’s directness, she still smiled and nodded. "Chunlan and Sun Wenpo came to talk to me yesterday. I really didn't expect that my elementary school has been abandoned for several years, and there are still people who can remember it."
“That was all taught well by Mrs. Qin. There are very few gentlemen like you who can read, write, reason, and have the patience to teach children.
Madam Qin, my family would like to ask you to be a long-term teacher in our girls' support association. I wonder if Madam Qin is willing? ”
As soon as Mother Li’s words came out, the eyes of everyone in the room followed Mrs. Qin.
Ms. Qin did not answer directly, but fell silent.
"Ms. Qin, are you worried?
Don’t worry, madam, the students are all girls, but there is a difference in age. Some are fifteen or sixteen years old, some are in their twenties, and the other one is Sun Wen Po. ”
Madam Qin shook her head and said with a warm smile: "That's not the case, but I don't know how many students there are? Are they teaching here? Or are they going to your alliance?"
"Qin Did your wife agree to become a teacher in our association?"
Sister-in-law Li asked happily.
After hearing this, Li Er's wife quickly took out the employment letter she had discussed with Li's mother, Li's sister-in-law and Li Sanniang last night and asked Li Dalang to write it.
Mother Li took the employment letter handed over by Sister-in-law Li, stood up and handed it to Madam Qin with both hands solemnly: "Ms. Qin, this is my family's employment letter. It details where and when, how many people are there. There are many students, to what extent they need to be taught, and to what extent they need to be taught.”
Madam Qin quickly stood up and took the stapled pamphlet with both hands. Madam Qin really didn't expect that the Li family would do this.
"Ms. Qin, don't worry. If you are dissatisfied, just raise it and we will satisfy you.
After that, you can also invite a middleman to write the deed. If you are willing, we have already brought the deposit."
Sister-in-law Li raised her hand and took out a very full purse from her sleeve pocket.
Mrs. Qin was greatly moved when she saw the sincerity of the Li family. She already wanted to go a little more.
When Mrs. Qin read the employment letter carefully, she realized that it said that there would be a special carriage to pick her up every day on duty. If she wanted to, she could also live directly in the small yard in the backyard of the Li family's girls' support association. .
There are two days off every ten days. If it falls on a holiday, not only will we have a rest, but we will also have a holiday.
At the beginning of each month, the previous month's repairs will be distributed. If there is an illness, the Li Family Medical Center will take care of it, and there will be no need for consultation fees or medicine.
At first there were only ten students, and later the number of students increased as the number of students increased.
What was written one by one made Mrs. Qin a little surprised. If she had such good conditions, she would even go to the academy to invite a gentleman to come out.
However, Mrs. Qin thought that they wanted to teach girls. Unless they hired an older gentleman who was past the age where they needed to avoid suspicion, it would be most appropriate to hire a female gentleman like her.
"Ms. Li Wen, this condition is so good, I feel like I deserve it."
"Ms. Qin, what do you say?
You If you can teach a child as good as Chunlan, you deserve to be treated like this.
Ms. Qin, are you agreeing?" Sister-in-law Li asked happily.
"Yes." Mrs. Qin nodded in agreement, making everyone present feel relieved.
“Okay, okay, okay, with Mrs. Qin, our alliance is even more powerful!”
I really think that our country’s compulsory education policy is the best policy. .
If a person wants to gain a foothold in today's society, he must have education.
