Chapter 179 The down-and-out lady VS the dandy warlord 15
Wen Xi liked it very much and picked up the earrings and tried them out with great interest.
Fu Yuezhi watched her movements, a faint smile in his eyes.
The two people never said a word, but the atmosphere was gentle and beautiful.
As long as she likes it.
Fu Yuezhi kept reciting it in his heart, feeling both happy and sad.
Fu Yuezhi stayed in the mansion for a few more days this time, and became more casual at home, often walking around barefoot, sometimes busy replying to letters, sometimes flipping through books.
Because Wen Xi loved reading novels, he asked Rong Cheng to go to major bookstores to collect some popular or newly translated foreign novels.
Wen Xi was not bound by rules and accepted everything, which made him dizzy.
Erya's personality became more and more lively. She often accompanied Aunt Xiang in doing things and made Aunt Xiang laugh.
Wen Xi and the other person were in the study on the second floor. When they heard laughter coming from downstairs, they couldn't help but feel that there was a little more activity in the house.
A suitable charity has not been found yet, but Erya is already nine years old and old enough to go to school.
After Wen Xi and Aunt Xiang discussed it, they decided to send Erya to school. Even if Erya went to a charity later, it would not be a problem for them to support a child to go to school.
Wen Xi also deeply understood that studying was the only bright path forward.
She wanted to find an opportunity for Arya and let her have a choice.
So in the future she doesn't have to be confined to the small world of being a wife, a mother, washing clothes and cooking. Erya can also have the choice to build her own career.
Fu Yuezhi also contributed to Erya's studies. First, he helped Erya prepare all kinds of documents, and then he heard that a new girls' school had opened these days, so he secured a place for Erya.
On the day Erya went to school, Aunt Xiang had already prepared all the study supplies for her and was extremely happy early in the morning.
After breakfast, Erya sat in the living room and sorted the things in her schoolbag.
Wen Xi held a book and sat with Aunt Xiang, watching Erya pack her things.
Wen Xi said, "Er Ya, I will go to school today, but there is one thing I need your consent for."
Erya was a little frightened, not knowing what the big deal was.
Wen Xi pondered it over in her mind. People in the countryside usually name their children for convenience. If a girl is born, the eldest will be named Daya and the second will be named Erya.
Now that Erya is going to school, it would be inappropriate to still call her Erya.
Wen Xi asked softly: "Now that you are going to school, what do you think about giving yourself a new academic name? We will still call you Erya at home."
Aunt Xiang looked at her encouragingly.
There was some joy in Erya's eyes. She also wanted to have a meaningful name of her own.
When my brother was alive, my mom and dad called him Dabao and said that he was the treasure of the family.
Her name is Erya, and she is just a little girl in the family.
"Miss, can I also have my own scientific name?"
There was a hint of shyness and anticipation on Erya's face.
Wen Xi nodded, "You can get up by yourself."
Erya's face was full of thought, but she couldn't think of anything for a long time.
After seeing Wen Xi, she asked hesitantly, "I, I can't think of one, can you help me come up with one, Miss?"
Wen Xi put down the book in his hand and replied, "Okay."
Wen Xi thought for a moment and said, "Let's call you Huai'an. Your family name is Zhao, so you can be called Zhao Huai'an."
Aunt Xiang asked doubtfully, "It doesn't sound like a girl's name."
"I like it!" Arya suddenly stood up, her face red with joy.
Wen Xi smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if she's called Huai'an. It's a good name with a good meaning. I hope Erya will have great ambitions and live a peaceful and smooth life in the future."
Aunt Xiang smiled and nodded.
Erya packed her things quickly.
The group got in the car and set off for school.
The full name of the newly established girls' school is Haishi Peihua Girls' School, and today is the first day of school.
After getting off the car, I saw faculty and staff at the school gate welcoming students. The students coming and going were all dressed in the same uniform, with light-colored jackets on top and blue skirts on the bottom.
Erya kept combing her hair neatly behind her ears with her hands, looking a little nervous.
Aunt Xiang comforted and reminded her softly: "When you enter school, you must not disappoint the expectations of the young lady and the gentleman. Study hard and don't be naughty."
Erya replied seriously: "Auntie, I know."
As she was talking here, a smiling voice came to Wen Xi's ears: "I don't know when you gave birth to a child, and it has grown so big."
Wen Xi looked in the direction of the voice and saw a woman in a moon-white cheongsam, and she was an acquaintance.
Sheng Mingzhu walked in front of Wen Xi. The Sheng family's Mingzhu had shed her jewels and gems, and her temperament was gentle and dazzling. She was much calmer than before.
When did Sheng Mingzhu become like this? Wen Xi felt a little surprised.
In her mind, Ling Ling Qi was transmitting to her what happened to Sheng Mingzhu.
The two haven't seen each other since the banquet hosted by Chief of Staff Bai.
Unexpectedly, Sheng Mingzhu did a lot of things during this period of time.
First, he dismissed the teacher arranged by his family, and then he read all kinds of newspapers and books in society.
She then broke away from the track planned for her by her family and established a girls' school against all odds.
Now she is the principal of Peihua Girls' School in Hai City.
Today, Sheng Mingzhu looks like a real pearl, shining brightly.
Wen Xi smiled, ignoring the teasing tone in Sheng Mingzhu's voice: "A child I met by chance."
"I haven't had the chance to thank you yet." Sheng Mingzhu smiled freely.
Wen Xi looked at her suspiciously.
"What you said last time was really an eye-opener for me. It pulled me out of my mental dilemma."
"I don't deserve it." Wen Xi shook his head and watched Erya enter the school with other students.
"I thought about it for a long time before I realized that even a woman from a noble family like me is under a difficult-to-break-free shackle, let alone other girls?"
“Only by learning one method can we truly become independent!”
Wen Xi looked at Sheng Mingzhu in the sunlight, and for some reason, she felt vaguely relieved.
The two were at loggerheads when they first met, but now they can talk like friends. Wen Xi found it a little strange for a moment.
She has read a lot of newspapers and magazines these days and knows that the situation of women in this world is not equal.
But there are always people who move forward and open up a path in the darkness.
Wen Xi couldn't help but ask in her mind: "Ling Ling Qi, will they realize their wishes in the future?"
"Master, the exploration level of this world is currently 65%. The future cannot be predicted."
The result was as expected, and Wen Xi was not disappointed when she received the reply.
"By the way, I wonder if you are interested in being a substitute teacher?" There was anticipation in Sheng Mingzhu's eyes.
Wen Xi paused for a moment and refused.
"If you need anything, I'll do my best to help, but there's no need for a substitute teacher."
There was a hint of disappointment in Sheng Mingzhu's eyes, but she still smiled and exchanged a few words with Wen Xi before going back to her work.
Another period of peaceful days passed, but the situation outside became increasingly tense.
Warlords from all over the country began to fight each other, and the situation gradually spread to Haishi.
Fortunately, there is the Fu family in Hai City, who try their best to maintain superficial stability.
It rained heavily that night, with thunder rumbling continuously, and the lights in Bailu Mansion had just been turned off.
There was a violent knock on the door.
Rongcheng put on his coat and went to open the door.
He is from the Fu family.
The man threw his raincoat aside. His purple face turned a little blue and his eyes were red.
No time to say anything.
He just said, "Take me to see the Third Master! Quick!"
