Regarding Yongyuan's comment that Qianyun and Meiberry were the same, Meiberry smiled and said nothing.
After hearing what Xie Changxuan had said to Qianyun, Qianyun nodded and agreed very simply. Meibei secretly took advantage of the fact that no one was around to figure this out with Xie Changxuan.
Xie Changxu chuckled when he heard Yongyuan's statement.
As expected.
"She's still young."
Even though Yongyuan is tall and tall, she is a small official and shouts and kills every day. She has a dream of being a general, but if you calculate carefully, Yongyuan is only twelve years old.
"Ah... then seeing Qianyun like this is a bit perverted..."
Meiberry smashed her mouth, although she couldn't bring the age of future generations, but no matter how she thought about it, she still felt that something was wrong.
"Qianyun is between you and Gu Beiwang in age. He is already in his twenties, right? He seems a bit old when placed next to Yongyuan~"
Xie Changxu: "..."
When Mei Bei suddenly pointed out the age difference, Xie Changzhen suddenly remembered himself. Mr. Xue once disliked the fact that he was six years older than Mei Bei.
"Forget it, the ones who should worry about these things should be Brother Ke and Xie Yi."
Xie Changxu felt that it was better not to go too deep into the relationship between himself and Mei Qi.
After arranging for Qianyun and Yongyuan to leave, a few days after the Lantern Festival, Xie Changxu also took the lead in leaving Fucheng and heading towards Fengning.
Mei Mei stayed in Fucheng until the end of February. After finishing the entire Xianyao's logistics arrangements for the new year, she went to Fengning.
Tianya and Zhou Ziyao were placed beside Xiang Yi by Meiberry and continued to deal with logistical matters such as spring planting in Fucheng and Xianyao.
But when it came to the minor officials, Mei Bi did not expect that Yongyuan and Qianyun would take several people with him before they left.
Among them, Cui Ying, who was most familiar to Mei Berry, left with Yong Yuan.
The remaining petty officials who followed Mei Pei from Xianyao last year now heard that Mei Pei was returning to Fengning, and several others also came back with Mei Pei to help him with work.
Their return felt like a homecoming in fine clothes.
This is not Meiberry's bragging. They followed Meiberry last year and later went to Fucheng or other counties as guides according to policy needs. They were really very knowledgeable.
They never thought that there would be such a big place outside Fengning.
And these are just one state. In the future, as long as they want, they can go to wider territories.
In Fengning New Village,
"Ah? Sister Cui followed you to become an official elsewhere? Master Zhou will be promoted now in Fucheng?"
Zhen Aniu, a junior official who came from the same place as Cui Ying, followed Meiberry back this time. He first went back to his home to report to his family and villagers that he was safe, but was surrounded by a group of people.
"Yes, that boy Cui Mingan is continuing to study at the Elementary School in Fucheng. Cui Ying even bought a small house in Fucheng!"
"Oh my god, is that little lady from the Cui family so powerful now?"
"Cui Ying is really amazing."
Zhen A Niu, a tall and stout man, was full of admiration when he mentioned Cui Ying. Most of them were small officials in the fields, guiding farm work, calculating harvests, and mediating neighborhood disputes.
But Cui Ying was different. When she was in Fengning, she used to measure and calculate the harvest of fields in the countryside, but later she went to Fucheng and directly worshiped Zhou Ziyao as her master and studied the law.
Zhen A Niu, who was only literate but had a headache when reading more advanced books, had seen Cui Ying reading "Cheng Lv" many times after leaving her job.
As Jun Jun said, who said women are inferior to men?
Cui Ying's learning ability is difficult for ordinary men to match.
Zhen Aniu hasn't been back for a long time, and she was surrounded by villagers and couldn't even walk.
It was the village chief who suggested that the other party go home and have a good rest, and take advantage of the good sunshine in the afternoon to go to the village's threshing floor and have a good talk before everyone gradually dispersed.
People who once had some doubts about the assessment and selection of junior officials now couldn't help but feel moved when they saw that even a guy like Zeng Aniu, who could barely read a few words, was in such a situation today.
"These three primary school students just need to study hard. If the imperial examination is too difficult, they may not be able to become officials if they start from a small official in a down-to-earth manner."
An old woman with all white hair was knitting a woolen sweater. She nodded secretly after listening to the news her eldest daughter-in-law had learned from outside.
"When the boss comes back from his job in the county in a few days, you can take some things and go to Zeng's house for a chat. Mr. Zhou has some contact with our family, so don't break it off casually."
"I know, mother."
"When Brother Shou is older, you can go out and find a job, and don't bury your father's ability to teach you how to read.
You are also good at calculating accounts and reading. If your father hadn't been willing to teach the boss back then, our family wouldn't have such a stable life now. "
Mrs. Yu said these words without raising her head. The eldest daughter-in-law, Mrs. Li, trembled suddenly. Her eyes suddenly turned red when she mentioned her father, and she muttered not knowing what to say.
"The second brother's family also has a hard life, leaving only Brother Shou, who you have brought up with all your care these years, and Brother An, her mother's brain is not clear, and it has been difficult for you to tolerate her these years.
It's a pity that he was also a poor man. He was about to have good days, but he fell ill and passed away. Now our family is young and old..."
Yu took a deep breath.
She is old and has lost her husband, son and daughter. Her spine has been crushed and her once well-maintained black hair has now turned white.
"This is what a daughter-in-law should do. If it hadn't been for the skills of my second uncle, my husband and I and our children might not have survived. My husband and I should take good care of my second uncle's children.
Although my aunt has a bad temper, she is kind to her children and filial to you, my mother. As a family of flesh and blood... we should help each other. "
Hearing what the eldest daughter-in-law said, Yu's melancholy mood gradually dissipated, and the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes gradually deepened because of her smile.
Finally, Mrs. Yu glanced at the figure who was reading and writing seriously at the stone table under the tree and felt relieved.
Perhaps, this era is the best time for their family...
···
Back in Fengning County, Meiberry was also busy.
After all, all her experiments started with Feng Ning. Since she left, Feng Ning has continued the policies previously set by Mei Berry.
The selection of minor officials was carried out again in Fengning after Meiberry left.
It's just that Meiberry really has a lot to do. She made various plans for Yao Fei before leaving. Although there are no detailed planning goals, it is certain that there will be a shortage of people to work on each aspect when it is rolled out.
Even when the selection of petty officials was carried out for the second time, people from the neighboring county came to give it a try.
This kind of cross-county examination reminded Meiberry of the phenomenon of taking examinations in various places in order to prepare for the establishment of the system in later generations.
She didn't expect it to show up so early.
The selection and promotion system for petty officials will have to be discussed with Mei Bei when the world is at peace.
In addition to the selection of minor officials, Mei Mei made a special trip to meet Chun Yuliang and visited the elementary school in Fengning.
Seeing a group of children below shaking their heads and reciting the newly edited version of "Eight Honors and Eight Disgraces", Mei Bei looked very satisfied, but for Chun Yuliang, Mei Bei looked mostly resentful.
Chun Yuliang read all the elementary school books that Mei Pei gave him.
In addition to some simple introductions to Confucianism, Meiberry's elementary school textbooks cover hundreds of schools of thought.
No wonder Mei Bei recruited a dozen teachers for the small elementary school.
Although he is the curator, the content and time of teaching are also strictly regulated.
Even though he has accepted all this now and enjoys looking at the energetic children, this does not mean that he is happy when he looks at Mayberry.
Besides, Mayberry also arranged other things for him to do.
"Jun Jun, I have almost finished the first draft of the "Official Document Writing" you gave me to write. I would like to ask Jun Jun to take a look at it."
Just now, Mei Bei's eyes were filled with resentment for Mr. Chunyu, but now she was very surprised to receive the thick stack of papers from him, and she thanked him repeatedly.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Chunyu. It's really troublesome for you to write so much. I will read it carefully when I get back."
Hearing Mei Liang's promised careful reading, Chun Yuliang also showed a rare smile.
Mei Berry smiled when she saw Chun Yuliang, and Mei Berry, who was unaware, also laughed.
It wasn't until she went back in the evening to carefully read what Chun Yuliang had written that the smile on Mei Berry's face disappeared——
"Why is the negative example and negative teaching material here the letter I wrote to Mr. Chunyu?!"
Mrs. Yu is Mei Dahu's mother-in-law.
Mei Dahu and his wife followed their father-in-law's family on their way to escape from the natural disaster.
Mei Dahu and his wife passed away one after another, and Mei An lived with her grandmother and uncle's family.
Zhou Ziyao mentioned earlier that he had been rescued, and the son-in-law who saved him and died at home was referring to Mei Dahu, who was a carpenter.
The story of Boss Mei and his family here has been completely completed~
In fact, sometimes some of the stories briefly mentioned in the article are quite interesting.
For example, the disabled couple at the wonton stall that Chun Yuliang liked before were actually former villagers of Jinshui Village~the lame son and daughter-in-law who were disliked by Mrs. Ge and were kicked out. Although I went through a lot of pain, I finally found a stable home...
