Jiu Zhang Ji: The Daily Life of the Reborn Daughter

Chapter 205 I Want to Work at the Salesian Home

Because there were fewer participants in the women's imperial examination and the content of the examination was relatively simple, the results were announced earlier than the autumn examination.

Su Shiyun won the first place in literature and history, Chen Ruxin won the first place in mathematics. The Hua sisters loved growing flowers and learned a lot of gardening knowledge since childhood. They actually got good results in agronomy. Zhao Luxi took part in both literature and history and mathematics exams. Although she did not rank among the top, her results were very good and they were all within the admission range.

In the martial arts test, Xiao Wenchu ​​ranked first, Guo Shengnan ranked second, and Zuo Qiu Linlang ranked third. These rankings are exactly the same as those in the kung fu test, which makes people marvel at them. A woman with strategic ideas in her mind can both plan and win battles thousands of miles away. It must be said that they were well educated at home. If we don't give them a stage to display their talents, it would be a waste of these good girls who are both talented in literature and martial arts.

Hui Ming's Art of War ranked fourth, which surprised Qiao Lili. But she could understand it later. The monks in the royal temple were all capable of charging into battle. They were the royal family's last trump card, so strategies and tactics must be trained, and coordination of formations was a must. Hui Ming had followed them for many years, so even if no one taught her deliberately, she must have learned a lot by circumvention.

The largest number of talents gathered this time were female doctors. Most of them came from medical families and had learned medicine from their fathers and brothers since childhood. However, because they were women, they could not go out to see patients and were buried in the backyard. Their youth and medical skills were wasted like this.

Qiao Lili arranged for Su Shiyun and the two women who ranked second and third in the literature and history exam to go to the Hanlin Academy. The top 50 were arranged to enter various major academies, all of which focused on studying first. After studying for a period of time, they could choose to stay in the current academy or become teachers in the newly opened girls' school.

Chen Ruxin took the second and third place winners in mathematics to the Ministry of Revenue, and another fifty people entered major money houses and royal businesses in the capital. The best students in agronomy, including the Hua sisters, were handed over to the Minister of Agriculture for systematic training. Next spring, the new crops would be planted in their hands. The task was extremely critical and arduous.

Zhao Luxi's scores in mathematics and literature and history were comparable. Qiao Lili called her to Lupingyuan and personally asked her about her preferences, wanting to know what kind of work she would like to do. She always unconsciously had more preference and patience for this girl who had no mother like her.

Zhao Luxi hesitated for a while and said, "Can I choose to work in the Salesian Home?"

"Before, I went there to help, and I had a lot of ideas in my mind that I couldn't put into practice. If I become a staff member there, will I have a say?"

"Besides, you know me, I like to be in familiar places. I feel a little uncomfortable in unfamiliar places."

When Qiao Lili heard her say this, her eyes lit up immediately. "It's great if you think so. My charity home is managed by General Manager Yunwu, but he has many other things to do. I originally wanted to hand the charity home over to Zhou Chengye, but he doesn't seem to be able to take it over completely. If you can help him, then General Manager Yunwu can be free to make money. With money, the charity home can accept more children, and the children can live a good life."

It cannot be said that Zhou Chengye is a bad person. Zhou Chengye is too good to the children. The children can seize his weaknesses and take advantage of them. No matter what mistakes they make, he will always be soft-hearted and forgive them easily. Over time, the children will become unruly, especially since most of these children are street children and are difficult to discipline.

Therefore, Yunwu couldn't let go of the orphanage.

"I'm glad you think this way. I originally wanted you to have a better future." Qiao Lili looked at Zhao Luxi happily: "I'm relieved to leave the Salesian Home to you."

Zhao Luxi tugged at the handkerchief in her hand and bit her lip. She obviously wanted to say something, but when she looked at Qiao Lili, she closed her mouth again.

"Just tell me if you have any requests. Aren't we good friends?" The humbleness in her character caused by living under her stepmother always dominated her thinking at critical moments, but Qiao Lili's words encouraged her.

"I met a few friends when I was applying for and taking the exam. During our chat, they found out that I often went to the orphanage to help out. They went with me a few times in the past few days." Zhao Luxi looked up at Qiao Lili to see if she was unhappy. She had obtained the consent of General Manager Yunwu before bringing people there. Seeing that Qiao Lili was still listening to her with a smile, she felt more at ease and continued.

"There are a few of them who didn't make the cut. Can I ask them if they want to work at the orphanage?" Zhao Luxi finally mustered up the courage to say what was in her mind. She was just like that. When she helped others, whether it was making snacks for the children in the academy or taking care of the children at the orphanage, she would work hard and not be afraid of the tediousness. But when she was asked to make a request, she found it difficult to say it.

"Of course they can. As long as they truly like children and really like this job, they can go. I also have to thank you. The orphanage is so short of staff." Qiao Lili held Zhao Luxi's hand and gave her some firm confidence.

There is no shortage of maids and servants in the orphanage. As long as you have money, you can hire them or buy them. However, they can only take care of the children's food, clothing, housing and transportation, and do chores such as cleaning and cooking. They cannot educate the children.

Most serious teachers are unwilling to work in the orphanage, and the age range of the children in the orphanage is very large. Since the opening of the orphanage, only two teachers have been hired, and they are only willing to teach older boys.

Even if these women's test scores are not ideal, they are still able to teach children with ease. It would be great if there were a few such women willing to work in the salesroom. They only need to take care of the children's enlightenment, teach daily etiquette, and teach them some needlework and cooking. When they are older, the girls' school should have been built by then, and by then, all the girls in the salesroom can be sent to study.

Hearing Qiao Lili's affirmation of her, Zhao Luxi seemed to have put down a burden in her heart and finally smiled easily. It seemed that the fact that her friends asked her for help had caused her a great psychological burden. However, it was also good that she could make other friends.

With a job at the Salesian Home, she has a salary and many friends. Over time, her personality will definitely change. She is a kind and good girl, and Qiao Lili hopes that she will get better and better.

"What's your father's name? What's his official position?" Qiao Lili and Zhao Luxi have been in contact for such a long time, but Zhao Luxi has never talked about her father. This is one of the reasons why Qiao Lili likes her.

However, Qiao Lili wanted to know now. She wanted to know whether she should give him a warning or some advice so that Zhao Luxi and her brother could have a better living environment at home.

"My father is a very honest official," Zhao Luxi said, "His name is Zhao Wenbo, and he has been working as a cabinet librarian for many years." This girl just talked about the facts and answered whatever was asked. She didn't have the slightest intention of saying anything for her father.

It's not to mention that Qiao Lili could still occasionally meet officials of all ranks in the cabinet, but the official of Dianji should be of the seventh rank, so even if she met him, she would not have the opportunity to talk to him. The elders of the cabinet had finished speaking.

"Okay, I'll make a note of that." Qiao Lili was about to say something else when Caiwei came to report, "Miss Su is here, and she seems very anxious."

Qiao Lili frowned. What happened?
