New widow

As for some people who think that a country girl deserves such an elegant name, that is what others think. Su Qiao never cares about what others think.

On the appointed day, everyone brought the children in the morning. There were only seven children in total. The eldest was the Du family's eldest daughter, who was eleven years old this year, and the youngest was the Li Zheng family's youngest daughter, who was eight years old.

These seven children live a pretty good life at home, and naturally their clothes are not so patchy. Du's eldest daughter has also learned some etiquette. When she sees Zhou Le, she kowtows to Zhou Le: "Greetings to the teacher."

Zhou Le didn't expect this child to be so clever. He hurriedly helped her up from the ground and said with a smile: "Who taught you this?"

"Why do we need someone to teach us? My mother said that when I see a teacher, I have to kowtow to him." This child is really nice to talk to. Zhou Le asked them how old they were, and he smiled and said: "Since you are here, let's start today. Give you a name."

"Don't we have names?" Li Zheng's daughter asked with a frown. Du's daughter already smiled: "Erya can't be counted as a name."

Yeah? Erya frowned tightly, and Zhou Le also smiled: "Then I will give you each a name now."

"Thank you!" Du's daughter said gracefully. Zhou Le looked at her and said, "You are the eldest daughter in the family, so let's call you Bozhen."

What does it mean? Bo Zhen looked at Zhou Le, and Zhou Le reached out and stroked her hair: "Bo, means the eldest in the family. Zhen means precious. You are the most precious eldest in the family."

"So good!" Bozhen was very happy, and the daughter of Li Zheng's family also asked anxiously: "What about me, what is my name?"

Zhou Le looked at the expectation in her eyes and thought for a moment: "Since your name is Erya, then you should call it Wenwen." What does this mean? Suqiao's voice has come: "Wenwenya, this is your original name."

What does it mean to be urbane? Naturally, these children had never heard of it, but they all wanted to hear it. So Su Qiao and Zhou Le spent the morning naming them, explaining their names, and writing down their names with pens. This made them very happy. It turned out that their name was this.

When an hour came, everyone came to pick up the child. They each held a piece of paper in their hands and read their names. Wen Wen also told Madam Li Zheng what the name meant.

Madam Li Zheng naturally didn't know what this gentleness was, so she could only follow Wen Wen's words. Watching them leave talking and laughing, Zhou Le then said to Su Qiao: "I understand now, you That’s what I said.”

While talking, Mrs. Du had already led Bozhen over and said with a smile to Zhou Le: "It's good that you gave her this name, but it's just that it's Miss Song's name. If you say it, I'm worried..."

"There's nothing to worry about." Su Qiao didn't think of repeating Song Zhen's name, and then Su Qiao added: "A name is just a word, and everyone can use it."

"Madam, if you say this, we should..." Du Shi was still thinking about this matter, Suqiao patted her shoulder: "I said it can be used, it can be used. Besides, your daughter, can it be Isn’t she your most precious eldest daughter?”

"Of course yes!" Du Shi blurted out, and then she said to Su Qiao: "Since you said so, madam, then I will let the child use this name. I just feel that we are always not worthy."

Su Qiao knew the anxiety in Mrs. Du's heart, and comforted her a few more words. Then Mrs. Du took the child and left. When Du Shi left, Zhou Lecai sighed softly and said to Su Qiao: "It turns out that educating the people is so difficult."

"If it were so easy to educate the people, then Confucius would not be a teacher for all generations." Not to mention people like Zhou Le who grew up in deep houses and courtyards, even those who are officials, few really know what the people are like. What a life.

This small school started like this, learning how to work as a female worker, how to calculate accounts, and even a little bit about writing. As for the etiquette and rules, of course you also have to learn them. But within a month, everyone around here knew about it. Of course they knew about it. They just thought Su Qiao was bored and looked for a few sensible and obedient girls to teach him. They didn't think of going anywhere else.

Zhou Le just taught these children something at first, but as time went by, talking to these children, Zhou Le realized that this is how the common people lived, and compared with the lives of these common people, his grandfather's teachings, Seems very ridiculous.

"My grandfather often called us during festivals and said some words of loyalty." On this day, the children were all picked up and lunch time had not yet arrived. Zhou Le sat in the yard to bask in the sun and couldn't help but talk to Su. Qiao said.

"Your grandfather, who can join the cabinet and become a cabinet minister, is naturally a capable official." Zhou Le nodded: "I originally thought that my grandfather's teachings were correct, but now I know that what my grandfather knew was just, As for what is written in the books, as for how the people live down there, my grandfather actually knows nothing about it."

"Life in a deep house is different from life outside." Suqiao said with emotion. Just as Zhou Le was about to speak, he heard the door of the courtyard being knocked. Manager Wu stepped forward and opened the door. Then Manager Wu took the Walking in with a picture: "Madam, someone is here to visit."

Suqiao took the film and looked at it. The person on it was very strange. Apart from being an official, Suqiao couldn't tell anything else. So Suqiao handed the film to Nanny Wu: "Take a closer look to see if the people on this page have ever interacted with us."

Of course we are talking about the British government. Aunt Wu looked at it carefully and said to Su Qiao: "Madam, actually, I can't tell."

"You've been in there all year round and don't care about what's going on outside. Of course you don't know about it. That's all. Let me go out and ask." Manager Wu took the film and went out again.

People outside were still waiting there. In addition to the servants, there was also a female sedan. Manager Wu walked up to the housekeeper and said, "Our lady said that we are still in mourning at the moment and it is not easy to entertain guests, so we can only block the guests."

"My mistress's surname is Qiu. She came to visit because she wanted to inquire about the whereabouts of her relatives." The housekeeper said respectfully. The film only stated that the man's surname was Chu, and he was the magistrate of Wu County. At this time, he said The mistress's surname is Qiu. Manager Wu frowned, thinking of someone else he knew whose surname was Qiu, but this person was really difficult to explain, so Manager Wu said to wait a moment and went inside.

Su Qiao couldn't help but frown when she heard Steward Wu say that her mistress's surname was Qiu and that she wanted to inquire about the whereabouts of her relatives. "It can't be Steward Qiu's family, right?"
