After hearing this, Zhang An said: "It is a great thing to set up a kindergarten in the village, but there is no reason for you to bear the cost. You have already paid a lot for the free clinic in the village, how can I still ask you to pay for it?"
"Money is a trivial matter. My husband's monthly salary is not much. My family also spends money to go to school. Why not let the children in the village read and write? Maybe there will be a few more talented people in the future." Bai Banxia laughed.
, "Uncle Zhang, please worry about the choice of husband. Teaching children does not require academic qualifications. The main thing is to be patient, caring, and open-minded."
"This is not a trivial matter. I have to discuss it with the elders in the village first." Zhang An thought for a while and said.
Qi Zhen said: "Okay, tell the elders that we will be responsible for the expenses. Children in the village aged six to eight can come to the class for free, both men and women."
"good."
Zhang An went to discuss with the elders, while Bai Banxia and Qi Zhen returned home.
After arriving home, Bai Banxia took a pen and paper and drew a pattern.
"What are you painting?" Qi Zhen asked as he came up behind her.
The warm breath blew into her ears, making the tips of her ears feel hot all of a sudden.
"Think of some things for children to learn. When I finish drawing them, you can make them for Xiaocao."
Bai Banxia is actually designed with reference to the very common children's magnetic drawing boards in modern times. The bottom is made of wood as the bottom board and frame. There is a hole in the upper right corner, and a wooden pen is tied through a rope.
She thought on the way that this kind of wooden board must be used with fine sand, and a small wooden box must be made. When learning to write, pour the fine sand in the box into the bottom board, and then write on it with a wooden pen.
So she drew a wooden strip on the side, which could be pulled to the other side, flattening the fine sand underneath, and used again and again.
Paper and pens at this time were very expensive, and young children did not need paper and pens to write. If every child had a wooden board like this, it would be convenient for them to practice in class.
She had good painting skills and could draw clearly quickly. Qi Zhen understood it at a glance and turned around to find wood to start.
Bai Banxia leaned over and asked, "Isn't it troublesome?"
"It's much simpler than your medical kit, but your painting method is quite special." Qi Zhen said while doing it.
"This is a three-dimensional painting. Is it easier to understand?" Bai Banxia asked with a smile.
Qi Zhen nodded, "It's quite interesting. Did your master teach you this?"
"Yes!" Bai Banxia wrote confidently, "My master also taught me comics. I will draw them for you if I have the chance."
"Okay." The corners of Qi Zhen's lips curved up. The time ahead will be long and beautiful.
It's not difficult, it was done quickly, it just needs to be polished smoother.
Xiaocao volunteered and said she wanted to polish it herself.
"Don't let your little hands get worn out." Bai Banxia said reluctantly.
Xiaocao stretched out her hand and said, "I am not a weakling, I am strong."
When Bai Banxia saw the calluses on her palms, she remembered that she had done all kinds of work in the Liu family before, and her small hands were rough and calloused.
The skin on my hands has become more tender these days, but some of the calluses on my palms can still be seen.
"Then be careful, don't hurt your hand." Bai Banxia didn't want to show her distressed look, and she didn't want to cause Xiaocao to think of the past, and hurriedly suppressed the emotions in her heart.
"Okay, I will make it beautiful." Xiaocao said seriously.
Baoshan Village is still discussing the establishment of a kindergarten, but things are not going so well for the town's pearl.
She dropped a tea set, and the maid Chun Xing wanted to remind them that they didn't bring much with them. If they dropped it, they would have to leave it outside. The young lady might not look down on it.
But seeing Mingzhu's angry expression, Chunxing shut her mouth obediently.
"They have all been sealed off. Do you still want to trap me here and kill people to silence me? Is he afraid of offending the Ming family?" Mingzhu said angrily.
"Miss, please calm down. This also shows that the second prince's power is still there." Chun Xing said cautiously.
Mingzhu took a deep breath, quickly calmed down, and returned to her dignified and steady appearance, as if the porcelain fragments there had nothing to do with her.
"Mrs. Shuang is from Beiyuan. She started cultivating power for the second prince when he was five years old. He has countless capable people around him. Who would believe that he only wants to protect himself and does not want to compete for that position?" Mingzhu sneered, "He did not reach the top.
How can those people be willing to follow him?"
Mingzhu wiped her hands with the handkerchief and wiped off the little tea stain she had just stained. The handkerchief was stained with tea color, and she threw it on the ground in disgust.
"Such a person would choose a mountain village woman? Then Bai Banxia won't last long."
"Miss, I'm afraid it's not that simple. I heard that the village woman worshiped a hidden miraculous doctor as her teacher. Is there any power behind her?" Chun Xing observed Mingzhu's expression and spoke with extra caution.
Mingzhu said nothing and began to think secretly.
After a while, she raised her head and looked out the window, "Send someone to contact the Seventh Prince."
"Miss... But the seventh prince used to be a hostage." Chun Xing advised anxiously.
"You said it was before, but not anymore." Mingzhu raised her neck. Since Qi Zhen treated her like this, she was destined to miss the Ming family.
What a pity for that good skin!
Mingzhu remembered that she had met the Seventh Prince in the capital, and was shocked for a moment. Fortunately, she had a gap in her heart and would not be deceived by a little bit of beauty.
Even at this moment, she felt that the second prince was just more good-looking and had nothing more than appearance.
Mingzhu's actions were quickly reported to Qi Zhen, who sneered, "It's good, she finally abandoned the dark side and turned to the bright side."
The person who came to report the news was Po Lang. The corner of his mouth twitched. Master, are you sure this word is used appropriately?
"Mingzhu defected to the Seventh Prince and must marry him, but my subordinates also found out that the leader of Luomei Pavilion was with the Seventh Prince." Po Lang said.
Qi Zhen thought of the darkroom woman Zhou Hai had said. Even if she was not the leader of Luomei Pavilion, she still played an important role.
"The leader of Luomei Pavilion is a young woman?" Qi Zhen thought for a while and asked.
"Yes, I heard that he is the apprentice of the old Pavilion Master, and he only took over the position of Pavilion Master last year." Po Lang replied.
Qi Zhen nodded, "Watch secretly to promote cooperation between the Ming family and the Seventh Prince."
"yes."
After Po Lang leaves, it will be easier for Qi Zhen to pass through the secret passage if Po Lang talks less. Cheng Feng talks too much.
After returning, he told Bai Banxia about the news from Po Lang.
"Abandoning the dark and turning to the light?" Bai Banxia couldn't help but laugh, "You don't want people to pester you, so you don't have to say that you are a dark person, right? Then if I want to marry you, won't I be throwing myself into the dark?"
"For people like them who are striving for power, I am acting secretly. For people like you who are not greedy for power, I am acting wise." Qi Zhen replied with a smile.
Bai Banxia tilted her head and looked at him, "You said that you have many capable people, but they were not trained overnight. Did you really not have the heart to fight for power before?"
