Chapter 308: I’ll feed you candy rolls
The Miao family lives next to Hongwen Academy, in a small courtyard with two entrances.
Dean Miao lived with four male servants in the front yard, while Miss Miao and four maids lived in the backyard.
The yard is clean and tidy, but there are very few furnishings. The most furnished ones are books.
There is a study room full of books on two walls in the front yard, and there is also a study room full of books on two walls in the back yard.
The tables and chairs are all old and simple.
There is a bit of "minimalism" in it.
Xiao Yingchun first gained more respect: a family that has the ability to be rich but does not pursue superficial glitz obviously pays more attention to spiritual life.
As soon as the two-man carriage arrived at the door, they saw the thin and tall Dean Miao leading Miao Wangyue standing on the steps to greet the guests.
Compared with other great scholars who pretended to be noble, Dean Miao and his daughter gave the prince Fu Chenan enough face.
Fu Chenan got out of the car and turned around to help Xiao Yingchun get out of the car.
The two people held hands naturally, their eyes naturally met, and they smiled at each other naturally.
Everything is so natural.
Obviously, they are all used to this kind of thing, and they all think it should be like this.
But in the eyes of outsiders, Fu Chenan is a prince, but Xiao Yingchun is just a foreign businesswoman... There is a huge difference in status!
What makes them all think "that's how it should be"?
Miao Wangyue and Dean Miao saw it in their eyes and had a deeper understanding of their relationship.
When Fu Chenan and Xiao Yingchun stood still, Dean Miao and Miss Miao lifted their robes and knelt down: "Greetings to His Highness the Crown Prince..."
Fu Chenan hurriedly stepped forward to help them and lifted them up. , and went in hand in hand with Dean Miao.
Xiao Yingchun’s arm was held by Miao Wangyue.
Miao Wangyue smiled sincerely: "I have long admired Miss Xiao's business skills, and I have also heard that Miss Xiao's Western goods have brought great convenience to my Tianwu Dynasty, benefiting the country and the people. Wangyue admires her very much..."
< br>Xiao Yingchun: ...
Able to move up and down, unhurried and polite, this Miao Wangyue is really amazing!
The four of us sat down in the warm pavilion in the front yard, drank tea, ate snacks, and chatted.
Not long after, Miao Wangyue invited Xiao Yingchun to the backyard to admire the painting he had just painted.
Xiao Yingchun knew that Dean Miao wanted to talk to Fu Chenan about "business" between men, so he got up and followed Miao Wangyue to the backyard.
How does Xiao Yingchun know about painting?
Miao Wangyue unfolded an ink painting and asked Xiao Yingchun to comment. Xiao Yingchun was very sincere: "I don't know how to paint, I just think it looks good."
Miao Wangyue pursed her lips and smiled: " I was abrupt, what is Miss Xiao interested in?”
Xiao Yingchun: “Making money”
The biggest interest in this era is naturally making money.
Miao Wangyue grinned completely now: "I just like Miss Xiao's frankness!"
"I'm not good at making money. I wonder if Miss Xiao is interested in eating? "
Xiao Yingchun's eyes lit up: "Yeah! I like the food..."
Who doesn't like this?
Miao Wangyue actually led Xiao Yingchun to the kitchen: "Then let me make a dessert for Miss Xiao?"
Xiao Yingchun nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay!"
We are not afraid of you. When it comes to cooking, I'm afraid that you can't even talk to me if you're surrounded by mountains and rivers, sunny spring and white snow!
Miao Wangyue asked her mother-in-law to put down her hands to light the fire. She rolled up her sleeves, tied up her arms, and began to knead the dough neatly...
Xiao Yingchun watched her familiarly pouring hot water and then It's cold water, and it's steamed red beans... In the end, I made a basket of red bean cakes with translucent skin and an osmanthus sugar roll!
The sweet-scented osmanthus sugar rolls were steamed, and Miao Wangyue brought one to Xiao Yingchun first.
The small table is placed under the window. The slightly bitter black tea paired with the freshly steamed sweet osmanthus sugar rolls is unexpectedly delicious!
Xiao Yingchun ate a piece, her eyes lit up, and she stuffed a piece into the mouth of Miao Wangyue, who was busy with flour.
"It's delicious! Do you want to try it?"
Miao Wangyue subconsciously ducked back, but couldn't avoid it, so she could only open her mouth to catch it.
She was stunned for a moment, then smiled.
It’s your first time visiting your home and you feed yourself candy rolls?
What did she think? !
The woman next to her was dumbfounded: Is this her first time as a guest? So informal?
Or are all foreign businesswomen like this? !
Miao Wangyue took advantage of Xiao Yingchun's turn to eat another piece, and gave her mother-in-law and maid a warning look, not allowing them to show such rude and shocked expressions.
After eating the sweet-scented osmanthus candy roll in his mouth, Miao Wangyue smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed.
"It is my blessing that Miss Xiao can stay away from outsiders..."
Xiao Yingchun chuckled: "I do stay away from outsiders. Just don't mind."
To be honest, my man has become a prince, and I have to dress up when I come to visit a retired cadre at his home?
How about being more comfortable?
Anyway, Fu Chenan also has the ability to support himself.
The main thing is that she also likes Miao Wangyue's temperament.
Which noble lady goes directly to the kitchen to talk to a female family member who is visiting the house for the first time?
You are direct, and I am also direct. There is no need to pretend, and it is much easier.
As the red bean cake was also prepared, the mother-in-law each brought a plate and sent it to the prince and the master in the front yard.
Xiao Yingchun and Miao Wangyue went back to the Nuang Pavilion in the backyard to eat snacks and talk...
In the front yard, Dean Miao first declined the idea of His Highness the Prince inviting him to Yingchun Academy.
“Back to Your Highness, Cao Min is old and his health is deteriorating. He feels uncomfortable and unhappy every three days and cannot take on big responsibilities...”
Fu Chenan was about to persuade him again, but Dean Miao changed the subject again.
"On the other hand, my little daughter Wangyue, over the years has liked to discuss the classics and history with others, and debate the way to live in the world..."
Fu Chen'an's alarm sounded in his heart, and he looked at Dean Miao intently. Just wait for him to say those words and immediately refuse.
Dean Miao spoke slowly and leisurely: "If His Highness does not dislike it...my daughter may be able to enter Yingchun Academy and become a female teacher."
Fu Chenan said "I don't want to be alone". It all reached my mouth and I swallowed it back.
"Miss Miao is willing to go to Yingchun Academy to be a female teacher?"
His shock was so obvious that Dean Miao even laughed.
“My little daughter is very surprised and admires His Highness and Miss Xiao for allowing Yingchun Academy to recruit female students.”
“My little daughter has always believed that if a woman wants to educate her children well, she must read some books , Understanding some principles will be more beneficial to the training and future development of the children..."
Fu Chenan listened patiently to Dean Miao and immediately nodded eagerly: "Of course I am willing."
"Nowadays, more than 90% of the female babies in the Salesian Home in Beijing are abandoned, while the male babies are abandoned and taken in because they are physically mutilated..."
"Miss Gu and Xiao feel that in today's world, there are many When poor families give birth to daughters, they choose to throw them away or even drown them because they think their daughters are useless. "
"If women can also work to make money and support their families, they will definitely be abandoned and drowned in the future. It will be greatly reduced..."
"That's why Yingchun Academy recruits so many female students, and also recruits the children from Salesian Home..."
Fu Chenan himself didn't realize it Yes, when he said this, there was a light in his eyes.
Dean Miao was fascinated by this.
He has never thought about what he would do for a woman in this world.
The only thing he can do is to allow his daughter to do what she likes.
The girl looked down on all the men in the world, so he allowed her not to get engaged or get married.
My daughter likes to read and has unique ideas, and he also chooses to support and tolerate her.
He was not completely unaware of how miserable the women outside were.
But he never thought of doing anything specifically for them...
Who would have thought that the prince, who was born as a pig butcher, could actually think of this level.
At this moment, he looked at Fu Chenan intently, feeling moved and ashamed in his heart.
The Fu family's father and son won the world not just because of their superior force, just because the Fu family's army was powerful, but just because they had the material help of Xiao Yingchun, a foreign businesswoman.
They really have the world in mind!
