The wedding of the two was put on the agenda, and Father Li and Mrs. Qiu took care of it together, while Mu Lan and Li Jubai were free.

In the afternoon, the two drank tea in the front hall.

"What kind of academy do you want to build in the future, master?" Mu Lan held Li Jubai's hand, her slender fingers wandered around, the fingertips were soft.

Li Jubai looked at the people in front of him, and his own plan flashed through his mind: "I want to establish a women's school, so that women here can have the opportunity to read and write, and I hope they can work hard to pursue what they want and live their own lives." the life you want."

"Here?" Mu Lan quickly grasped the point, what does this mean?

Li Jubai pursed his lips, and said slowly: "If I say, I want to build a girls' school in Zhu County, what do you think?"

She also wants to go to a wider world. The capital is naturally vast and rich in resources, but compared to the capital with many schools, Zhu County, which only has one county school, needs a girls' school more.

Usually, she is a teacher in the county school, and she has only seen two women studying in the county school in the past two years, and one of them is Mu Lan. Too many women are not able to study because of the pedantic ideas of their elders and the solidified ideas of the people. Opportunity.

There is a saying that if you are poor, you will be good for yourself, and if you are rich, you will benefit the world.

Li Jubai knew that his ability was limited, so he worked hard within his limited ability, so that all women in the world could live a sober and happy life.

Although Baiyue allows women to study, people's ideas cannot be changed in a short time. The sentence that men and women are different has blocked many women from the academy. What blocks them is not only the unfair secular ethics, but also the From relatives and elders.

So she wanted to start a women's school, and try her best to influence more people and encourage more women to enter school.

But in this way, they will inevitably be separated from each other, after all, Mu Lan's family and relatives are in the capital.

"What if I don't want to stay in Zhu County?" Mu Lan's face was calm, her eyes were dim.

"We may be separated for a short time. After the academy here is on the right track, I will go to the capital to find you." Li Jubai looked around, his tone full of uncertainty.

Mu Lan raised her eyebrows: "On the right track? At least it will take three to five years. How long will the master go to the capital to find me and be together? Can you let go of this side?"

Li Jubai paused, not daring to meet Mu Lan's gaze, yes, can she really let it go?

And it's unfair to make Mu Lan wait forever, so I really think too naively.

The more she thought about it, the more she lost, but her hands were suddenly clenched.

"So why don't we set up a few more women's schools, not to mention Zhu County, then we can go to the prefectural city of Huangzhou, to the capital, and Zhu County is the beginning. Let's work hard together, shall we?"

"But your family... your parents are here, so don't travel far away." Li Jubai murmured.

Mu Lan smiled brightly: "There is one more thing."

"Huh?" Li Jubai was stunned.

"Wanwan means that there must be a way to swim." Mrs. Qiu came to the front hall at some time.

"Mother." The two stood up together.

Mrs. Qiu motioned them to sit down, and then continued: "You can do whatever you want, and work hard with you for my mother."

Li Jubai looked at Mrs. Qiu, and his heart was slightly touched: "Mother, I...I want to open a girls' school in Zhu County first, and then work hard to go to the capital."

She didn't know how to describe her mood at the moment, it was complicated and sour, and more touching.

"Then let's do it. It just so happens that I have nothing to do, so I'll help you guys. We women can accomplish great things." Mrs. Qiu immediately expressed her support. After joining the Feihua Club, I naturally understand Li Jubai.

Li Jubai and Mrs. Qiu looked at each other, full of ambition.

"Is Daddy still in the capital?" Mu Lan said quietly, and she was there, why did these two people feel that they had left her behind.

"Is he accompanied by your second brother? He can still serve the court for a few more years. Besides, it's not like the three of us will not go back. When the academy here is on the right track, we can go back to Beijing." Mrs. Qiu answered kindly. road.

Mu Lan was tongue-tied, if it wasn't for the fact that she was her own, she would have suspected that the master and mother were the mother and daughter, look at the exact sameness, they are exactly the same, poor father.

Qiu Shangshu, who was far away in the capital, yawned suddenly. He touched his clothes, thinking that it was cold, it was time to add more clothes, and he didn't know when his wife and daughter would come back.

Mrs. Qiu seemed to be ignited with entrepreneurial passion, and continued: "What's the name of the academy, Li's Girls' School?"

"Not right." Li Jubai shook his head lightly.

Mu Lan took over the words: "There is a school for girls of the Li family in the capital, and it was created by Li Zhu, the first female raiser of our Baiyue family. The Li family is full of nobles and has been passed down from generation to generation. It is not good for us to have the same name as them."

Mrs. Qiu glanced at her: "What's the matter, if you don't want to have the same name, you can join them. It's all one Li. I'll write to ask your father to go to Li's house to discuss this matter. After all, everyone is seeking for women in the world." Well-being, the same goal and easy work.”

Mu Lan froze for a moment, suddenly felt that what her mother said made sense.

She subconsciously looked at the master, Li Jubai nodded silently, and the matter was settled.

After the Zhuxian Branch of Li's Women's School was completed, their wedding day also arrived.

Not to mention how many local gentry came, even the county magistrate himself invited to officiate the marriage, but unfortunately, before he had time to sit down, the presidency was snatched away.

Qiu Shangshu took the main seat and looked at his wife proudly: "This old man has the cheek to ask the Holy One for a long vacation. Madam can come back to Beijing with me in a few days."

With so many people watching and listening, Mrs. Qiu saved some face for him and didn't directly refuse. She just smiled and didn't speak at the moment.

When the county magistrate saw Jishi, he thought that although he could no longer sit in the front seat, he would still be the officiant, so it was a good sell.

Unexpectedly, before she opened her mouth to speak, even the identity of the officiant was taken away.

"This princess has followed the orders of the sage and came with the three princesses' congratulatory gifts." Princess Pingfang smiled decently.

Everyone is envious.

After the banquet is over, those who should go go, and those who should stay stay.

Princess Pingfang stopped Mu Lan outside the bridal chamber.

"After today, Miss Mu will really marry a wife."

"Of course, I also want to thank the Princess for taking the pains to come to host the marriage." Mu Lan unconsciously became on guard. This girl came to Zhu County from the capital just to see her get married?

Princess Pingfang was silent, then suddenly smiled and said: "This princess will also marry a wife in the future."

Mu Lan was stunned, and breathed a sigh of relief in her heart: "Then I wish the princess and her lover will get married as soon as possible, and be happy and healthy."

Princess Pingfang moved out of the way, and her expression returned to her former arrogance: "My princess will, you go in."

Mu Lan was at a loss for a moment, and went straight into the bridal chamber.

Princess Pingfang watched her figure walk in, and then closed the door.

"Qiu Wan, you also want to be happy and healthy."

She murmured something in a low voice, looked at the closed door, and silently said "Wanwan, goodbye" in her heart, then shook her head desolately, turned and left.

I came here all the way to bid farewell to the past.

In the room, Mu Lan lifted the red hijab, her eyes met.

The master in front of him has affectionate eyes, like the mist in the morning, and the confused people can't see the direction clearly.

The clothes are light and the skin is better than snow, like the bright moon falling on the autumn night, bringing a happy dream.

The red candle swayed lightly, and the bed curtain swayed slowly. It should be the begonia's first rain, and the few flowers are light and shy.

The author has something to say:

The original sentence "Last night, the begonias first rained, and the few flowers were light and coquettish" comes from "The Picture of Smiling Flowers"-Tang Bohu.
