There were no bullock carts returning to the village at this time, so the group had to go back on foot.
Ye Zhenzhen was holding a basket in her hand, and she didn't know what was in it. Only when Aunt Ye left Cui's house did she have the energy to focus on her, and she couldn't help scolding her again, "You kid, what are you bringing home?"
Already?"
"It's all for the tiger baby."
Ye Zhenzhen opened the thick cloth to reveal the four treasures of the study inside, "Isn't Huba going to school? My family must not have money to buy these things for him, so as a sister, I prepared them for him."
Although it is to build a clan school, it is actually not a big project. There are many empty houses in the ancestral hall of the Ye clan, so it is perfect to use it as a teaching building for the children.
The seventh uncle has taken good care of the ancestral hall. The house only needs some minor repairs and the addition of some desks and teaching materials.
Of course, the most important thing is to ask your wife.
After all, it is a small clan school and cannot afford to hire scholars as teachers, so it is enough to hire Tongsheng as the teacher. There are also Tongsheng in the village, including Ye Boshan, Seventh Uncle and Ye Shiming.
Not to mention that Ye Shiming was still studying, so he certainly could not be allowed to become a master. As for Ye Boshan and his seventh uncle, they had not touched books for a long time, and becoming a master would be a mistake, so they hired a boy from the next village to be their master.
These were all reported to Cui Weizhen when Uncle Seven entered the county. After all, as an investor, he still had to let him know how it was done.
The cost of inviting the master will be paid from the donated silver. When the money is spent in the future, it will have to be paid from the output of the sacrificial fields. As long as the Ye family does not have a foolish patriarch who sells the sacrificial fields in the future, the descendants of the Ye family can rely on them for generations to come.
Sacrifice fields produce reading enlightenment.
This is also what the people of Yejia Village are most grateful to Cui Weizhen.
So Ye Zhenzhen also knew that the clan study had started ten days ago, and Hu baby was also sent to school and was given a name, Ye Dailin.
There was indeed a shortage of these things at home. Aunt Ye opened her mouth, but in the end she still didn't say anything to refuse.
She didn't want to wrong her own child when other children had it. She also thought that Huba would be like Brother Zhen and come back as a scholar, which would bring glory to the family.
After hearing this, Ye Sanyong immediately patted his chest and promised, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I will cover all the expenses for Huwa's education in the future."
Aunt Ye was shocked, "Why does this mean that the cost of studying is too high? You don't even have a wife, so how can it burden you? Your eldest brother and I can afford to feed your nephew even if we eat chaffy vegetables."
.”
"I know it well, sister-in-law, please don't see me outside, otherwise I will be angry."
"Okay, don't make any money. I will pay for Huwa's education expenses."
Ye Zhenzhen held down the excited Aunt Ye and said, "I am now Man Tingfang's boss and I have earned a lot of money. Huwa's little expense is nothing to me."
Cui Weizhen also spoke at the right time, "Yes, mother-in-law, please don't refuse. Zhen Zhen can spend the money she earns on her own in whatever way she wants."
The water thrown out by a married daughter, even if she has private money, belongs to the husband's family. Now that she has Cui Weizhen's approval, Aunt Ye can really feel relieved. The son-in-law does not mind the daughter supplementing her parents' family, which is the best news.
The originally anxious and uneasy mind became more stable. With the help of my daughter and son-in-law, my life seemed not as bad as I imagined.
Even a major event like the uprooting of crops, which seemed like the earth was falling apart, was no longer so scary in her opinion.
Perhaps because she had let go of the burden in her heart, Aunt Ye's complexion also improved. Ye Zhenzhen looked at it and her worries settled. She was really afraid that Aunt Ye would not be able to bear the stimulation and fall ill directly.
Getting sick these days is not an easy thing.
She couldn't help but hold Cui Weizhen's hand and whispered, "Brother Zhen, thank you."
The male protagonist Darcy in "Pride and Prejudice" loves the heroine so much that he is willing to accommodate the heroine's less than respectable family. Compared with Cui Weizhen, he is almost the same as Darcy.
Although Ye Zhenzhen did not have a deep understanding of the deep-rooted concept of family status in this era, she did know something about Brother Zhen's extraordinary background. Not only did he not dislike her status, he was also willing to accommodate and take care of her family. This is already very remarkable.
Something happened.
After all, her family includes not only the law-abiding big family members, but also the top-notch second family members.
"What nonsense are you talking about again?"
Cui Weizhen shook his head helplessly, with a look of doting on his face that he had not even noticed, "Getting married is a marriage of two surnames. Your family is my family. I have done what I should do, and it is not worth mentioning."
Although the two surnames are good, they are also incompatible with each other.
To put it bluntly, it's just because you want to.
The smile on Ye Zhenzhen's face couldn't stop, she wished she could stick to Brother Zhen, so that she could express the joy and sweetness in her heart.
Fortunately, she restrained herself very rationally. After all, Ye Sanyong and Aunt Ye were blind, so they had to exercise restraint when getting intimate, right?
The young couple did not dare to go too far and whispered to each other along the way. Time passed by unknowingly, and before Ye Zhenzhen could calm down, Yejiacun arrived.
There were many villagers chatting under the big tree at the entrance of the village. As soon as they saw Cui Weizhen, they greeted him warmly and never stopped asking questions.
The seventh uncle came over after hearing the news, with a warm smile on his face, "Brother Zhen, are you back today to see the clan school? It happens that the children of the clan are in class, do you want to go and take a look?"
Uncle Seventh had invited Cui Weizhen before, but he declined because he was unavailable. He suddenly came back today, which made him misunderstand.
"Let's go and have a look. There's no rush."
Ye Sanyong has obviously calmed down a lot. Apparently after spending time along the way, his anger has dissipated a lot, but the coldness in his eyes has not faded away. "I just want to find someone to ask about the situation."
The crops in the field were uprooted in the middle of the night, so there was no way they could be done silently. He went to find out about it from the idle men in the village.
When Uncle Seven heard this, he immediately understood, "Brother Zhen, are you here because of the stolen winter wheat from Dayong's family?"
Most of the wheat seedlings in Ye Dayong's field were pulled up, and everyone in the village knew about it. There was a fuss early in the morning. Just now, a group of people were discussing under the tree who had done such an immoral thing.
He was able to steal three or four acres of wheat seedlings overnight without alerting anyone. He was really too big, so why didn't he get hit by someone?
Therefore, this matter is very evil, and the villagers have all kinds of speculations, including ghosts, demons, and snakes.
If it weren't for the sake of Cui Weizhen and Ye Zhenzhen, everyone would say that Ye Dayong did something wrong and was punished by gods and ghosts.
This matter was unclear at the moment, and even if there were doubts, he could not make any corrections. Cui Weizhen didn't say much, and dealt with it vaguely. He only waited for Ye Sanyong to come back after inquiring about the information, and then he could clearly seek justice.
