Chapter 260 New Ideas
At that time, everyone in the academy knew about this incident, and many people said that Qiao Shinian had lost both the wife and the army.
Jiao Xue, the only one who stayed, was not liked by everyone. When the Jiao family came to find her, some even told her to go back.
It was impossible for her to be unaware of the fact that her two sisters could do such a thing.
But she didn't say anything, and everyone assumed that she had other intentions for staying in the academy.
Jiao Xue never refuted, but just silently endured the accusations. She secretly wiped away tears in the dead of night, and did not defend herself.
When Jiao Xue's father came to the college and asked Jiao Xue to go home, Jiao Xue just shook her head and backed away.
No one stood up until the rude man started dragging Jiao Xue.
Jiao Xue clung to the door frame and resisted being dragged away. She cried and begged her father to let her go. She cried and shouted that she had been sold and could not go back.
The man just rudely scolded her for being a traitor: "Don't think I don't know that your indenture is in my body! You are a money-loser trying to cheat me! Come home with me! I am your father. Did I give birth to you and raise you so that you can talk back to me?!"
Jiao Xue's small body tried her best to hold on to anything that could keep her there as she walked along. She didn't want to leave.
Until finally, with her hands covered in blood, clasped on the wooden board, Cao Yue slowly came to the academy with a big knife in hand.
She pointed the knife at the man's forehead and said, "I heard you were planning to take our college's property?"
"Your two daughters stole three pounds of rice, four pounds of noodles, and twenty-one pounds of meat from us. How are you going to compensate us?!"
Finally, the man ran away cursing.
When someone finally cleaned her wounds, they asked her why she didn't go back with her sister.
She just said calmly: "I know Miss Qiao is a very good person. She let me learn knowledge and learn how to make a living. I know that this may be the only chance in my life to live like a human being, so I will not give up. Even if I die, I will seize this opportunity tightly.
My parents have always treated us three sisters as lost goods. If we go home, even if we are not sold, we will be married off as bargaining chips. I don’t want this. I want to live a good life, not as an object, but as a normal person. ”
"But you caused the academy to lose rice, flour and meat. Don't say you didn't know they were leaving! It's because of you that the girls' decision was ridiculed!"
"This is my fault. I thought they were just going home, so I persuaded them to stay. As for the fact that they stole things, I didn't know about it, but I will compensate them. When I make money, I will pay it back to the college."
For more than a month after that, Jiao Xue silently did more work than others every day. She relied on her dexterous hands to continuously add weight to the money jar.
Everyone thought she would become an excellent embroiderer in the future, but she studied harder than anyone else.
On New Year's Eve, she returned with five pounds of rice and flour, and a quarter of a pig.
Jiao Xue fulfilled her promise and made up for the losses caused to the college by her biological sisters.
After Jiao Xue left, Qiao Shinian took a deep breath and said, "This year, in addition to opening a branch school, I have decided to do my best to adopt abandoned babies. This will require a lot of resources and financial resources, so everyone's life in the future may be a little more difficult than it is now. I hope everyone can support my decision."
Finally, after Qiao Shinian told everyone about his plans for this year, he gave red envelopes to everyone and let them go to celebrate the New Year.
"Sister, you were so cool just now. When you sat there, your aura was fully on. Although you looked gentle, the aura around you was like that of a queen. Those little guys all looked up to you and admired you! Oh my God! I was simply deeply fascinated by you and could not extricate myself from it. "
Qiao Shinian smiled and gently elbowed Wen Jiu: "Don't be naughty, speak properly."
In the corridor, Qiao Shinian tightly held Wen Jiu's hand, feeling somewhat worried: "Wen Jiu, I'm not sure if adopting an abandoned baby is a good decision. I'm afraid that I won't be able to afford the child well in the future, and I'm afraid they will resent me."
At this moment, Qiao Shinian's mood was like that of a mother who had her own children and also needed to accept more children, which would inevitably have a certain impact.
Wen Jiu did not agree with Qiao Shinian's behavior. He believed that life and death were determined by fate, and those who abandoned their children must be ordinary rural villagers, most of whom could not even support themselves.
Perhaps more abandoned babies will be girls. After all, it is an eternal truth that men carry on the family line.
A wife who cannot give birth to a boy will be blamed by her husband's family or even divorced.
"Why would my sister want to adopt an abandoned baby?"
Wen Jiu asked.
"Because, many children died." Qiao Shi said in a young voice, her tone full of compassion: "Those children were born because of their parents' mistakes, and they died tragically before they could understand the world. It's a pity."
"Perhaps, I think I want to train some children from a young age. Since they have been abandoned, they will be mine after I adopt them and will be absolutely loyal to me. I will infuse my ideals into them, give them a second life, and allow them to be free to the greatest extent possible, but they need to work hard for me."
Qiao Shinian then couldn't help but express another thought, and after she finished speaking, she noticed that Wen Jiu's grip on her hand tightened.
"Also, maybe they can become the pillars of the country in the future. At that time, they will be your power. Although it takes a long time to cultivate them, it is worth a try.
I have made up my mind. For the time being, I will only adopt the abandoned babies in Xingzhou. We will completely build Xingzhou into our backing. Let the people of Xingzhou live and work in peace and contentment. When you can feed the people and keep their houses clean, the people will support their benefactor. "
'Okay, I'll support you.'
Wen Jiu looked at Qiao Shinian.
"It's about time to let Yingzhu and the others come back, Wen Jiu." Qiao Shinian suddenly said again.
Wen Jiu felt a little guilty when facing Qiao Shinian. He tried to see any blame or other emotions on Qiao Shinian's face.
But Qiao Shinian was as calm and gentle as before.
"Hehuan and the others must have put a lot of pressure on you before."
Just when Wen Jiu was about to give up, Qiao Shinian spoke again.
"Actually, I'm in a dilemma because of your open and covert fighting." Qiao Shi said in a young voice, "I can't bear to blame them for interfering in your affairs, and I don't want to blame you because of them."
"Sister." Wen Jiu looked at Qiao Shinian.
Feeling the coldness gradually lingering on his face, Qiao Shinian said again: "You have been busy accompanying me recently. You have your own things to do. Don't stick to me like a child.
You are a grown man now, it is not right for you to cling to me like this."
Wen Jiu's face darkened and he looked at Qiao Shinian quietly.
He was with her almost all day, so no one would spread rumors in front of her.
Could it be that something happened to her during that era that she didn't tell him?
Wen Jiu was a little anxious. Everything here was under his surveillance, but the time when Qiao Shinian returned home was a world that he could never touch.
"When I heard you say that your father assigned you three concubines, I realized that I can't restrict you with my rules. Everything should be practical, and I just try my best to achieve the results I want." Qiao Shinian seemed to be chatting with Wen Jiu, but she would slowly express her thoughts without waiting for Wen Jiu to answer.
"We live here after all, Wen Jiu is still a prince. You are different from Mu Qingchen, he has the capital to resist the order, but you don't.
Perhaps before your father appoints a princess for you, you can first find one who is not so resistant and annoying.
You are not young anymore. If you still want to follow my rules, you can do as I just said to Kong Twelve, marry her first and raise her. As for when to have sex, it depends on your wishes."
Wen Jiu stopped walking. Qiao Shinian, who was walking forward, took a step forward, then found himself in fear due to the resistance and staggered back two steps.
When she stood up, she found herself lying in Wen Jiu's arms. She took a step back and asked, "Why don't you leave?"
Wen Jiu did not answer, but just stared at Qiao Shinian. For the first time, he felt that Qiao Shinian was a cruel person, and what she was good at was destroying people's hearts.
How could she so casually tell him to marry a concubine? She asked him to marry another woman without knowing anything about it.
He was so angry at this point that he wanted to tear off the veneer of rationality, pick her up and throw her back onto the bed.
He wanted to be a wild beast, tear her clothes, ruffle her hair, squeeze her body, and finally rush around to vent his anger and resentment.
"Somebody come!"
"Your Highness." A maid ran over. She lowered her head and did not dare to look at Wen Jiu.
Wen Jiu's face was terribly gloomy at this moment, and she was afraid that she would bring bad luck to Wen Jiu.
Wen Jiu took Qiao Shinian's hand and wrote in her hand, while saying to the maid, "Help her to the study."
"Yes." The little maid quickly reached out to support Qiao Shinian.
Wen Jiu waited until Qiao Shinian disappeared from her sight, then kicked the wall a few times. After the anger in her heart subsided a little, she walked towards the study.
Outside the study, a servant was holding a basin of ice water, and a man was standing quietly holding a handkerchief.
The cold water stimulated Wen Jiu's nerves. He took the handkerchief, wiped his face, and waved his hand to signal the people to leave quickly.
He stood in the snow for a long time, then laughed silently.
"Oh! I haven't confessed to her yet! She doesn't even know that I like her! Don't be angry, don't be angry. There's nothing to be angry about. It's just that I'm not good enough and don't dare to tell her directly!" As he spoke, he clenched his fists and finally punched a stone lamp beside him.
The top of the stone bench broke into pieces, and his hand was injured, with blood dripping from the broken skin.
"Crazy! It's a dead end no matter which way I take! If I force her to do it, she might hate me for the rest of her life. If I confess my feelings to her, she might avoid me for the rest of her life."
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Everything is in our hands. Everything is in our hands!"
When Wen Jiu walked into the study again, Qiao Shinian smelled the blood on him the first time.
"What's wrong?" Qiao Shinian asked, "Is your stomach okay? Is there anything wrong with the lunch?"
Seeing that Jiu didn't say anything, Qiao Shinian asked again, "Why do you smell like blood?"
"It's okay. I slipped and fell while walking just now. The back of my hand hit the stone and the skin was broken. It's bleeding." Wen Jiu held Qiao Shinian's hand and wrote a lie in her palm obediently.
"Are you okay? Is it serious?"
"It hurts a bit, how about you blow on it for me? I bleed on New Year's Day, am I going to be unlucky this year? Please blow on it for me, blow away the blood disaster this year." Wen Jiu brought his injured hand closer to Qiao Shinian.
Qiao Shinian smiled helplessly, then breathed softly as if coaxing a child.
Seeing this, Wen Jiu smiled with satisfaction.
Who cares about getting married and having children? Isn’t it good enough now?
