"Your Highness is so impressed. The slave serving you was originally a girl from the Salesian Home. I signed a living contract with her and was trained by a massage master."
"Salesian?"
Princess Wei wiped away her laziness and her expression became solemn: "Why did you sign a living contract with the people at the Salesian Home? It's so inappropriate."
The Salesian Home, equivalent to the welfare home in later generations, was established at the initiative of the queen. The female relatives in the capital also gave charity. The orphans and widowed children in it lived a good life, but in fact, their future was worse than that of ordinary girls who did not have enough to eat.
It's a little harder.
They lost their parents and had no family and parental honors. When they grew up, marriage became a constant problem that they couldn't deal with internally. Therefore, many adult women lost the protection of the Salesian Home and lived a life of poverty, sorrow and helplessness.
day.
It is precisely because of this that Ye Zhenzhen thought of providing them with a job so that they could live a better life after completing their studies.
After hearing her explanation, Princess Wei's face softened: "I usually give alms to the Salesian Home, but I didn't consider their future situation. Mrs. Cui, you have a good intention. But their identities are not simple after all. If they are...
If I find out, it would be wrong to criticize you for forcing Liang Liang to be a slave. But don’t worry, I will go into the palace to mention it to my mother later and get her permission."
Ye Zhenzhen did not expect that the Queen's permission was needed to use people from the Salesian Home. After all, in her opinion, signing a living contract with the people from the Salesian Home was a fair and just employment act, and she was not afraid of being criticized.
of.
She couldn't help but explain it again: "Your Highness, don't worry, even though I signed a living contract with them, they are still members of a good family."
In fact, to explain it in the words of later generations, the so-called living contract is a signed contract. Because we were worried that ancient people did not have the spirit of contract, they set liquidated damages. If you do not complete the specified number of years and want to resign, you need to pay a certain amount of liquidated damages.
These are terms from later generations. In order to adapt to ancient times and make it easier for employees to understand, they were changed to living deed and redemption. In fact, the two are not exactly the same in nature.
It happened that there was a sample of the living deed in the store, so Ye Zhenzhen asked Qiu Yan to bring it to Princess Wei. Princess Wei took a look and found nothing wrong, so she was completely relieved and handed the deed paper to her personal slave.
Put it away and it will be taken to the palace to show the queen.
She said to Ye Zhenzhen: "Don't blame me for being cautious. Master Cui is very popular in the court. As a member of her family, if you act in the slightest carelessly, the censor will write a memorial to impeach Mr. Cui."
Then I will be implicated by you."
Ye Zhenzhen can understand this truth. She prides herself on being upright and not afraid of the evil spirits in the dark. However, she cannot resist the troubles caused by those who are interested. If someone really impeaches her, she might really be disgusted.
.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat, and solemnly apologized to Princess Wei: "It was my lack of thinking. Thank you to Princess Wei for your advice and help."
Seeing that she was scared, Princess Wei quickly comforted her: "This is not a big deal. It's just a way to wake you up. It's not worth taking to heart. Speaking of which, I have to thank you. The queen mother founded the Salesian Hospital. I hope that the child will have good health."
They have something to rely on when they are old, but they have never been able to find the right way. You are willing to provide them with a livelihood and solve the mother's troubles. It is a great achievement."
She meant what she said sincerely. If she were an ordinary woman, she would just give some charity to people who came from the Salesian Home, but she would never dare to get into trouble with them.
Therefore, Ye Zhenzhen impressed her. This kind of act of teaching people how to fish is a real act of kindness. It's not that she couldn't find suitable servants, but her willingness to recruit people from the Salesian Hospital is enough to show that she has a kind heart.
.
Recalling some of her words and deeds, it can be seen that she has a chivalrous spirit. If she were a man, she would be a pillar of the country.
She was both regretful and appreciative, her eyes looking at Ye Zhenzhen were particularly gentle.
Except for a few people who were enjoying beauty treatments elsewhere, most of the ladies and girls were in this room. Since it was not a shameful matter, they could all hear the conversation between Princess Wei and Ye Zhenzhen clearly.
They were touched and took the initiative to say: "Zhenniang is very considerate. I also have many dowry shops. In the future, I can follow Zhenniang's method and recruit some boys from the Salesian Home to do the work. It can be considered a good deed."
."
Princess Wei decided to go to the palace to explain the matter to the queen, which meant that they had made a clear path, and now they were not afraid of any trouble in expressing their stance.
Although they are trying to pick up people's wits, no matter what their purpose is, doing good deeds is always good in itself. At least their good deeds help people in need.
Princess Wei expressed her approval, and everyone became interested and began to discuss how to better help the young and old in the Salesian Home. Zi Ah, an employee from the Salesian Home, listened to the sidelines, unbearably touched, and turned to his master with red eyes.
I saluted with attention and wished I could express my full gratitude on the spot.
Being praised by so many people, Ye Zhenzhen felt a little uncomfortable for a moment.
The reason why she thought of the people in the Salesian Home was because of her father's influence. Every year, Ye's company subsidizes the children in the orphanage to go to school, and after graduation, they will also recruit the company as employees. This is already part of the corporate culture. She
Although I don't go to work in the company, I occasionally heard my father and elder brother discuss it at home, and I kept it in my heart, which is why I made the move today.
Listening to the lively discussion, she couldn't help but interject, saying: "Why not build a school for the Salesian Home? Invite talented people from all walks of life to teach them their crafts. With their skills, they will be able to make a living in the future.
We're worried."
After all, their rescue is only temporary. From a long-term perspective, establishing a school is a matter of thousands of generations.
Everyone really didn't expect this move. After all, there were not many schools at this time. Most of them were official schools, clan schools of big families, or private schools run by scholars. Cui Weizhen was in Linxi County before, and before he entered the county school
I also learned from Xiucai Gong.
Therefore, Ye Zhenzhen's proposal to build a school, a school dedicated to teaching various arts and miscellaneous arts, was truly unprecedented. Everyone was confused and couldn't make a decision, so they all looked at Princess Wei.
Princess Wei was thoughtful. She was in a different position, and her level of thinking was different from everyone else - not to mention establishing a school in the Salesian Academy, what if she opened an academy for scholars all over the world to study? This is a unique event.
What a disaster!
She quickly figured out the profound meaning and impact of this suggestion, and was immediately overjoyed, looking at Ye Zhenzhen with even more enthusiasm.
If their prince was allowed to handle it at this time, it would be a huge political achievement!
