Erbao no longer felt guilty and sad, but asked Gu Yiyi.

"So, mother, do you have a way to let Jin'er and I go to school?"

Gu Yiyi smiled slightly and said disapprovingly: "Of course, if others don't accept it, then we will do it ourselves."

"do it yourself?"

They all looked over with puzzled expressions on their faces.

Gu Yiyi said calmly: "My mother suddenly wants to open a school."

"Mom, are you going to run a school?? That would be great!!"

Erbao opened his eyes wide and looked over in disbelief. If my mother can really run a school, then she and Jin'er can go to school whenever they want.

Dabao was astonished: "Mom, running a school is not a trivial matter. Not only does it need to be located, but it also requires finding a teacher. Or... should you or dad teach?"

"Master, it's easy to talk about finding a place. Both your father and I have work to do, so naturally we can't teach you. In short, just believe in mother. Give me some time, and I will set up the school as soon as possible."

The children could not hide their joy. As long as Gu Yiyi said anything, they were willing to believe it. Their faces were all radiant and they no longer had to worry about not being able to go to school.

After Gu Yiyi heard what those masters said, she decisively came up with this idea.

But it seems that setting up a school is not that simple. It is hard to say but not difficult at the same time. As the saying goes, money can make all the difference. Gu Yiyi still has a lot of money on hand. It shouldn't be a big deal to open a school. Difficult matter.

Moreover, Butcher Wang has already left for Northern Qi. After the palm oil is sold, it will be another huge amount of income.

Thinking of this, Gu Yiyi went to Shen Changfeng to discuss the matter without saying a word.

She didn't know much about the schools of this era, and Shen Changfeng must know everything.

He looked knowledgeable at first glance, and he was a member of the Shen family.

However, Shen Changfeng had not returned from Zhou Mansion. Gu Yiyi couldn't sit still at home, so she went to the new village chief and asked about the location of the school.

When the new village chief heard that she wanted to set up a school, his eyes immediately brightened.

"Is it true, Mrs. Shen? Our Jiangjia Village has never had a school. The nearest one has to be several miles away. If..."

"Village Chief, I don't plan to set up this school in Jiangjia Village. I want to go to Pingshan Town. You are familiar with the town. Do you have any recommendations?"

"Not in our Jiangjia Village?" The village chief was a little surprised, but Gu Yiyi confirmed.

"I want more people to come to the school. There are not many children in one village, and even fewer are willing to send them to school. The town unites people from several villages, which is more convenient."

The village chief could understand her thoughts, so he nodded and thought about it carefully.

Finally, he gave her a site selection: "I remember there is a family named Jia in the town. Their old house has never been wanted. The location is good and the environment is elegant. It would be great if we can get it to use as a school."

"Is someone named Jia?"

This was the first time Gu Yiyi had heard of this name, but since the village chief said so, she could go take a look. If it was really suitable, it would be best to buy it as soon as possible.

So Gu Yiyi drove the carriage directly to Pingshan Town.

At this moment, Gu Yiyi had long been familiar with those people in the town. Everyone on the street in the town knew her carriage. As soon as they got off the carriage, someone came up touching the eggs.

"Mrs. Shen, you have saved my husband before, but I have never found a chance to thank you. Now that you are passing by, you must accept my kindness no matter what."

Their enthusiasm was hard to resist, so Gu Yiyi had no choice but to accept the eggs while agreeing.

Not long after arriving, countless eggs were already placed in the carriage.

Gu Yiyi interrupted them and returned to the topic: "Do you know where the old house of the Jia family is?"

"Is Madam talking about Yuan Jia?"

"How many people named Jia are there in the town? It's the family whose old house is empty."

The man immediately laughed: "That's Jia Yuanwai. It's not close to here. Just go straight ahead and it's the house next to the mountain near the small lake."

Gu Yiyi thanked them and followed their guidance to the small lake.

This small natural lake is formed by water flowing down from the mountains. On weekdays, people in the town wash and wash vegetables downstream. Now there are many people gathering at the downstream to take pictures of their clothes.

Recalling that Pingshan Town during the epidemic was not as peaceful as it is now, comparing it now, Gu Yiyi felt very emotional.

She took a deep breath and felt the baptism of fresh air, which made her whole body feel relaxed.

Jia Yuanwai's old house is very conspicuous, right by the lake, with the mountains at its back.

The doorway is made of blue bricks, and the wall is covered with vigorous vines. At this time, it is also decorated with some small flowers, which looks romantic and elegant.

The wooden door was bolted. Gu Yiyi knocked on the door tentatively. Seeing no response from inside, she simply leaned over and looked through the crack in the door.

The first thing that catches the eye are the scattered rockeries and the long corridor courtyard in the courtyard. Although there are weeds, this antique courtyard has a unique flavor.

Especially with the mountains as the scenery, the corridors and courtyards look particularly textured.

But the gap was small and the field of vision was limited. Gu Yiyi wanted to take a second look, but suddenly someone's voice came from behind her.

"Who are you?"

Gu Yiyi turned around quickly and saw a middle-aged man wearing a hat walking up with a displeased face. He was dressed luxuriously and at first glance, he was not an ordinary man.

Just when Gu Yiyi was about to speak, the man's expression suddenly changed, he looked at her with joy and asked, "Is your wife...Mrs. Shen's family?"

Gu Yiyi didn't expect that he knew her, so she simply told her the purpose of coming here.

"Exactly, I'm here to see Mr. Jia."

"You came to see me?"

The man was surprised, but he quickly walked to Gu Yiyi politely and said seriously.

"Mrs. Shen, this is Jia Yuanwai. What do you want me to do with you? If it is convenient, you can go into the house with me to talk."

He pointed to where he lived now, in a house opposite the old house.

After seeing it, Gu Yiyi quickly said: "Can I take a look at Jia Yuanwai's old house?"

Hearing his words, Jia Yuanwai was slightly startled, but he still unlocked the door and let her in.

As soon as the door opened, the desolate smell inside came out.

But upon closer inspection, apart from the withered branches and trees, there is a large layout inside, including courtyards and pavilions. Although small in scale, it is valuable in its detail, especially the pavilion standing behind the rockery, with a small cliff hanging in the air behind it.

Looking around, there is a vast mountain and river outside the pavilion. Is such a unique geographical beauty hidden in Pingshan Town?

Gu Yiyi fell in love with this courtyard at a glance, and immediately looked at Jia Yuanwai and asked.

"Exceptor Jia, I wonder if your old house is available for rent?"

"lease?"

Jia Yuanwai stroked his beard in confusion, and Gu Yiyi said calmly: "I want to set up a school, and I have been looking for a suitable place. I think your house is very good."
