Transformed into a vicious concubine? Being led by the eldest sister is annoying
Chapter 252: Seeking Charcoal
Han sighed and turned to go to the backyard.
I was thinking about finding a suitable time to talk about this with Bai Qianqian and the others.
In the backyard, Bai Qianqian, Bai Jinyan and Chu Yuxuan were chatting happily.
"Yuxuan, you don't know, I've been very busy lately." Bai Qianqian said with a smile.
Chu Yuxuan chuckled and said, "I knew you were a worrier."
As he was speaking, Han came in.
Bai Qianqian saw Han and asked, "Mom, is my cousin gone?"
Han nodded, sat down, and hesitated to speak.
Bai Jinyan noticed Han's strangeness and said, "Mom, is there something wrong?"
Han hesitated for a while, but still said, "I just ran into Xin'er and you guys, and Xin'er seems to be interested in Miss Chu."
When Chu Yuxuan heard this, her face turned red instantly.
Bai Qianqian said, "Mom, you are not here to propose marriage, are you?"
There was disbelief in his eyes.
Although she had guessed what her cousin was thinking just now, it was impossible for her to ask a girl directly.
Han looked helpless: "Mother knows this is not right, but Xin'er is pestering her, so there is nothing she can do."
Bai Qianqian was speechless.
How could her cousin do such an unreliable thing?
The difference in status between the two families is too great.
Mr. Chu will not agree.
Chu Yuxuan said hurriedly: "Sister Bai, this happened too suddenly, I..."
Bai Qianqian held her hand and comforted her, "Sister Chu, you don't have to consider my face for this matter. If you don't like it, just refuse it. Don't feel burdened."
These words made Chu Yuxuan feel relieved.
She is good friends with Bai Qianqian, so naturally she doesn't want this incident to affect their relationship.
But a direct rejection would be somewhat hurtful.
Finally, all he could say was, “You’ll have to ask my grandfather about this.”
This is what rejection means.
Obviously, he didn't like Han Xin.
Han sighed, with a forced smile on her face, "Then you guys chat."
After Han left, Bai Qianqian frowned.
"My mother is confused, please don't mind it, Sister Chu."
The cousin is a good person, but he is not a good match for Chu Yuxuan.
In the book, Chu Yuxuan has a very good relationship with her older sister.
The person she married was also very good.
It’s not that my cousin is a bad person, but that they are not a good match.
Chu Yuxuan shook her head, "Qianqian, why would I mind?"
Bai Jinyan then asked, "What does my cousin want to talk to us about?"
If Chu Yuxuan has nothing to do, she will ask them to have tea or go shopping with her.
They would even make appointments to go to restaurants for dinner.
But if he comes in person, then there must be something wrong.
Chu Yuxuan's face turned red when she heard her cousin's words.
But he still said, "I'm here to buy charcoal. I don't have much charcoal at home. It can only last for ten days, but the snow keeps falling."
When they heard that they were buying charcoal, they both breathed a sigh of relief.
They don't have anything else, but they have food, charcoal, and medicinal materials.
After all, I had stockpiled a lot of goods before.
Chu Yuxuan was full of gratitude, "Thank you, cousin, thank you, sister Qianqian, you helped me a lot."
Bai Qianqian and Bai Jinyan both laughed.
"How much do you want?"
"We need five carts first." Chu Yuxuan thought for a moment and said a number.
When Bai Qianqian heard that only five carts were needed, she shook her head and said, "Let's start with ten carts. Even if we can't burn them, we can still use them next winter."
Chu Yuxuan hummed.
In fact, Bai Qianqian knew very well that the snow would not stop until February next year.
Even ten cartloads of charcoal might not be enough.
But she wouldn't say this to anyone.
If I say this, people will think I'm a charlatan.
It is snowing heavily now and the ground is frozen, so it is definitely impossible to build a girls' school.
Even if it is to be built, it will be in the early spring of next year.
Bai Qianqian looked at Chu Yuxuan and asked, "Sister Chu, a girls' school will be built next year. Will you go there to study?"
"Yes, of course I'll go." Chu Yuxuan's eyes were shining when she said this.
She has never been to school.
Although my grandfather hired a teacher to teach at home.
But that certainly can't be compared with school.
Bai Qianqian immediately laughed, "Sister Chu, please go to the homes of officials from all the noble families to find out about this matter. Girls' schools only teach girls, regardless of whether they are legitimate or illegitimate, rich or poor."
Chu Yuxuan was surprised.
I didn't expect it to be like this.
She thought that girls' schools only accepted daughters of high-ranking officials and nobles.
"Qianqian, don't worry, I'll go right away!"
As she spoke, she stood up.
Bai Jinyan couldn't help laughing, "Okay, it's going to be dark soon, let's go back after dinner, it won't be too late for you to take care of Qianqian's matter tomorrow."
"No, no, no, I'll go back first. My grandfather is waiting for my letter." Chu Yuxuan shook her head and walked away.
What can Bai Qianqian and Bai Jinyan do?
We can only send people out.
After Chu Yuxuan left, Bai Qianqian and Bai Jinyan returned to the house.
She asked curiously, "Why don't you see my second uncle?"
Bai Qianqian laughed, "My dad has been busy in the restaurant recently. It's snowing so heavily that many people are eating hot pot."
Hearing this, Bai Jinyan's eyes were full of smiles.
"It's good to be busy. I can make money."
The two sisters drank tea and ate melon seeds.
After a while, someone came to the kitchen and asked whether the eldest lady was having dinner at home.
Bai Jinyan nodded, and the servant left.
After drinking two cups of tea, Bai Jinyan looked at his fourth sister seriously and asked, "Will the court provide money to build a girls' school?"
Bai Qianqian was stunned for a moment, then shook her head.
"Big sister, the emperor didn't mention the money, he just agreed to build a girls' school, and asked to build it in the capital."
She originally wanted to build a girls' school in King Chen's fiefdom.
But the emperor made a request that girls' schools could only be built in the capital.
She understood the emperor's thoughts.
You must want to see what a girls' school can be like?
We should also see whether girls can become sensible and knowledgeable after entering school.
Will there be no more fighting within the palace?
As long as the girls' schools in the capital are well established, she believes that the emperor will promote them.
But if the girls' school is not run well, there will be no effect.
Then there will be no more girls' schools in the future.
Thinking of this, Bai Qianqian felt heavy in her heart.
It’s so stressful!
"I still have 100,000 taels of silver here, you can take it first." Bai Jinyan spoke directly.
The fourth sister needed money, and she happened to have some, so she naturally gave it to her.
Bai Qianqian was so moved that she hugged her elder sister.
"Big sister, you are so nice."
Bai Jinyan smiled and reached out to touch Bai Qianqian's head. "We are sisters, and we should help each other. Besides, the treasures you gave me are much more valuable than silver."
Hearing this, Bai Qianqian smiled even more happily.
"By the way, after this snowstorm is over, you can go to the aristocratic families and the wealthy homes of ministers to raise money." Bai Jinyan gave Bai Qianqian an idea.
Bai Qianqian hummed and let go of her elder sister.
That was her original intention.
And at that time, any family that pays money can get an admission spot for free.
The sisters ate their two bowls of rice in the flower hall.
What we eat is hotpot. It must be said that eating hotpot in winter is the most enjoyable.
It wasn’t cold at all. After eating, I felt warm all over and didn’t want to move at all.
