In the evening, Wei Mingting went home.
Yun Shi excitedly told him the good news: "Husband, the Xie family has agreed to let Wanwan go to the Xie family to attend classes together!"
"Really?"
“It's absolutely true, Mrs. Xie personally agreed, and Mr. Wang was also present at the time.” Yun Shi looked happy.
“That's great.” Wei Mingting also expressed joy, and it was naturally a good thing for his daughter to receive Mr. Wang's guidance.
After a pause, Wei Mingting added: "Don't forget about Ruo’er either. You need to quickly arrange the school for Ruo’er. If Ruo’er doesn't want to study, it’s her business. But you still need to arrange it.”
"Don't worry, husband. The Magistrate’s wife has agreed a long time ago, it's just that we don't know yet if the Xie family will let Miss Qian go to learn as well. If Miss Qian goes to the Xie family as well, it's possible that the Magistrate's Mansion won't hire a female teacher."
"If the County Head Magistrate’s Mansion doesn't hire the female teacher, you can invite the female teacher to our house. Not only Ruo’er, but the young ladies of other families need to learn as well." Wei Mingting urged.
“Yes, I know.” Yun Shi also thought so.
Although inviting a female teacher into the house would add extra expenses, since Wanwan had been assigned to the Xie family, it was good for Ruo'er as well.
And by inviting the female teacher who was originally in the Qian family to your own house, you could also get closer to the Chief of Record and Assistant of County Head Magistrate families.
Although Wei Mingting was a military official and had no official dealings with these two families, there was always nothing wrong with having a good relationship with other families in Xingshan County.
###
After waiting for two days, there was news from the County Head Magistrate’s Mansion. The Xie family didn't agree that Qian Zhilan go to the Xie family to study.
Mrs. Xie declined politely on the grounds that the Qian family had hired a female teacher themselves.
Mrs. Qian was depressed, but there was nothing she could do.
That night Yun Shi called Wei Ruo: "Ruo'er, I've given you enough time in the wasteland in the south of the city. You can instruct Mo mo Zhang to take care of the rest, it's time for you to go to school at the County Head Magistrate's Mansion."
“I understand.”
Surprisingly, Wei Ruo did not bargain with Yun Shi this time, but calmly agreed.
So Yun Shi continued to say to Wei Ruo: "Another problem is that there is only one carriage at home……”
Yun Shi looked a little awkward.
In the past, Wei Qingwan was the only one who went to school at the County Head Magistrate's Mansion. It was no problem for the carriage to pick Wei Qingwan up and drop her off once in the morning or evening.
According to the original plan, Wei Qingwan and Wei Ruo both went to the County Head Magistrate’s Mansion for classes, so the carriage would carry one more person, which was no problem.
But now the situation has become complicated. Wei Qingwan wanted to go to the Xie family in the north of the city, and Wei Ruo wanted to go to the Qian family in the County Head Magistrate’s Mansion. These two places were on different roads.
Wei Ruo sneered, and took ahead of Yun Shi to say what she wanted to say: "Does Mother want to say that the Xie family in the north of the city is a bit farther away from the Colonel’s Mansion, so you plan to arrange the carriage for Wei Qingwan,
and the Qian family in the County Head Magistrate’s Mansion is closer, so you want me to walk there?"
"I can't let you walk there. I'll buy another carriage, but the one I'll buy will be smaller than the one we already have. Right now our family is not wealthy. But when our family gets a bit more prosperous, I'll get you a better one, okay?"
