Li Baolu sorted out the paints and arranged them according to the colors, and then notified Qin Xinfang and Gu Jingyun that they could start painting murals.

Li Baolu was in charge of a wide wall, Gu Jingyun was in charge of a long wall, and Qin Xinfang was in charge of the remaining wide wall and a long wall.

Although she had studied mural painting with Qin Xinfang, she had never done such a large mural painting, and it was for Niu Niu, so Li Baolu paid special attention to it.

She first drafted her story on paper and memorized it by heart before starting to write.

She painted the famous fairy tale - Little Red Riding Hood.

The content was not harmonious at all, Qin Xinfang glanced at the wolf whose stomach had been cut open on the drawing paper, and said secretly: I just hope his daughter will not be frightened by this bloody picture in the future.

Looking at Gu Jingyun's story to be drawn again, Qin Xinfang couldn't help stomping her feet angrily, "Did the two of you agree to fight with the wolf? Niuniu is not yet a year old, so you are just torturing her like this!"

Gu Jingyun frowned, carefully flipped through the story he had written, and said, "This is Ma Zhongxi's "The Legend of Zhongshan Wolf".

"It's not good anywhere," Qin Xinfang said seriously: "Niuniu is just a child, these stories are not only profound but also bloody, Baolu is fine, why are you like this?"

Gu Jingyun glanced at his uncle, "What story does uncle prepare?"

Qin Xinfang snorted, and said proudly: "What I want to paint is the story of Pangu opening up the sky, Kong Rong giving pears, Yugong Yishan and Zhongyou's filial piety."

Pan Gu explained the origin of heaven and earth, Kong Rong made pears to show humility, Yu Gong moved mountains to show persistence, and Zhong You showed filial piety, all the qualities he hoped his daughter possessed were painted on the painting.

This is where the education of mural painting lies.

Li Baolu felt ashamed when she heard it from the sidelines, "Otherwise I'll change the story too?"

"No need to change," Gu Jingyun said lightly: "Your story can tell Niuniu to listen to her parents and adults. Only her parents and relatives will not harm her in this world, and her uncle and aunt are very knowledgeable and will not delay her. Your story Very good, just draw like this."

Qin Xinfang coughed lightly, he never admitted that he didn't object to Niuniu's words because of the connotation of the story.

But he doesn't want his nephew to draw "The Legend of Zhongshan Wolf" in the game room. This story is too profound, not only involves the dispute between Mohist Confucianism, but also involves deeper philosophical issues. It is really not suitable for Niuniu to watch and study.

But if Gu Jingyun could listen to him, it wouldn’t be Gu Jingyun. In the end, he still drew the story of the Zhongshan wolf, and at the end he wrote a line of words "benevolence is trapped in stupidity, and what a gentleman can't do."

He hoped that Niuniu would be kind when she grows up, but not stupid, be ruthless or not, and be rebellious against animals.

His murals are the most complicated, because there are defenses in them, so one mural includes three small murals. Overall, his length is larger than Qin Xinfang's four stories.

He wants to read and paint, and his body is not very strong. Li Baolu loves him so he helps him draw some corners. He only needs to paint the main characters, the donkey, the stone, the road, the woods and Zhao Jianzi's followers in the painting. and horses are drawn by her.

The progress of painting has improved a lot, and within a month and a half, the embryonic form has already taken shape.

And the carpenters have polished all the toys according to the drawings and passed the inspection, and they can go home for the New Year just waiting for the final wages.

What was thought to be half a month's work worked for three months, and the carpenters made a lot of money. At the same time, they were very reluctant to leave.

Where can I find such a good job after this time?

The carpenters took the money reluctantly, and said repeatedly: "Young Mistress, if you still need us in the future, just ask someone to call us, and we will definitely come."

"Okay," Li Baolu said with a smile, "I really have something to ask of you here. You should come to my house after the Chinese New Year."

Liu Changfu's eyes lit up, and he took the lead to ask, "I don't know what it is."

"My cloth shop is about to open, and I will definitely need a lot of spinning machines next year. You all know how to make spinning machines, right?"

The five nodded, "Although each has its own advantages and disadvantages, the folks entrust us to make their textile machines."

"If the cloth workshop's business can continue, then the demand for textile machinery will definitely not be low in the future, but there are too few carpenters in Sin Village and Xiangshan Village," Li Baolu mused: "I would like to ask you to teach in a village at that time. A few apprentices, teach them carpentry."

The five of them kept their mouths shut. This was their ability to eat, and it was to be passed on to the descendants of the family. They didn't want to spread it to the outside world.

Li Baolu also understood their concerns, and said: "Teaching can be done with a beam. If you or your students can improve the loom, you can also get rewards."

"In addition to carpentry, I will also have girls taught to weave, and children to be taught to read and abacus, and you gentlemen are not the only ones."

The five people were surprised, "Is the young mistress going to run a school?"

Li Baolu pondered for a moment and said, "It's sort of."

Her original intention was to train carpenters to make looms and maintain them, train weavers to weave cloth, and train accountants to manage the cloth workshop, all for the purpose of serving the cloth workshop, but now it seems that her goal may be bigger.

Seeing that the five people were silent, Li Baolu said: "Masters, you can think about it, go back and discuss it with your family. If you want, you can come to me after the Chinese New Year. If you don't want to, just pretend I didn't say it."

Liu Changfu was silent for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and asked, "Young Mistress, do you only accept people from one village as students?"

"No, I will accept anyone who intends to enroll, no matter which village they are from."

"That Shu Xiu..."

"Shuxiu doesn't need to hand in, but every year the school will assign some tasks, they must complete, if they don't finish, then they will make it up to Shuxiu." Seeing that the five people were uneasy, Li Baolu smiled and said: "Don't worry, the task will not be difficult, and it will not be too difficult." It's not going to take up a lot of their time."

All five of them were a little moved, they have children at home, if they can go to school...

Besides, Li Baolu has a bunch of Xiuna, if they refuse, they may not even be able to receive orders from the cloth shop in the future, and life will be the same as before.

Although they are still unwilling to hand over their skills to others, the five are eager to improve their lives.

The five of them packed up their things and went home with complicated thoughts.

They did not hide the news, so as they returned home, the news that the Qin family was going to run a school in a village spread throughout all the sin villages and Xiangshan villages.

In front of this news, the information dissemination speed of Sin Village and Xiangshan Village was more than ten times faster.

Combined with the news that came not long ago, the villagers' minds floated. .

Some people came into the village before to encourage them to plant more ramie after the spring, so that they could weave linen, saying that the Qin family would be in charge of sales.

But everyone was skeptical, but today, when they heard about running a school, most people believed it.

In the entire exile area, the only ones capable of doing this are the Qin family.

Because everyone knows that the Qin family has a good man, and he is a good man with a reputation.

If the linen they spun could really be sold, and everyone became excited when they thought about it, it would not hesitate to find a way for them to survive.

The villagers began to go to a village to find out the news without hesitation. After getting the exact news, they went straight home, asked the family members to maintain the loom, and started to go out to open up wasteland with a hoe.

Ramie is easy to survive, even if it is planted on the side of the road, it can grow well, so the land in the middle of the mountain is also opened up by them, and they plan to plant ramie as soon as spring begins.

Zhang Damei and Zhang Yiyan took their notebooks and began to go from village to household to count the ramie planted next year, so as to make a plan for next year.

Li Baolu painted murals, practiced martial arts, and advanced her own piano, chess, calligraphy, and painting. At the same time, she cleaned up and repaired several abandoned houses in the village, preparing to use them as schools next year.

The principal of the school is naturally the highly respected Mr. Qin Xinfang. As investors, Li Baolu and Gu Jingyun are extremely busy.

It was not until two days before the New Year that Li Baolu rested, and she slept in for a long time that day, lying on the bed and refusing to get up.

Gu Jingyun didn't call her either, and went to have breakfast after getting up on time after reading, and brought a breakfast back to Li Baolu after eating.

Li Baolu washed her hair disheveled and swept it all over, climbed into bed and continued to sleep.

Gu Jingyun was sitting in front of the window, seeing her movements out of the corner of his eyes, he couldn't help but twitched his mouth and said: "It's better to get up and move around, or you will feel overwhelmed when you get busy after the Chinese New Year."

"I don't," Li Baolu said lazily lying on the quilt, "I think if I don't lie down now, I won't have a chance in the future. It's rare to have a few days of rest."

Gu Jingyun looked out the window and said with a smile, "Aren't you afraid that your master will come looking for you?"

Li Baolu burst into tears, pounding on the bed in grief and indignation: "If I had known, I wouldn't have told him about us being hunted and killed outside. I'm so busy, but he still drilled me to death..."

Gu Jingyun walked to the bed and looked at her for a while, and finally lifted the quilt to cover her, and said with a smile: "Then go to sleep, and wake up when you think about it."

But she can't sleep.

Li Baolu was just too lazy to get up, and just lay on the bed with her hair down and her legs crossed in a daze.

Seeing this, Gu Jingyun shook his head and went out with his hands behind his back.

Bai Yitang has often been running into the mountains recently, and Baolu is so busy that he hits the back of his head again. His room must be messed up like a doghouse again. The teacher has something to do, and the disciple does his best.

The disciple is unwilling to move, so his disciple's husband-in-law can only do it for him.

Gu Jingyun closed the door, turned around and saw two figures hiding.

He couldn't help squinting, reopening the door and going home, a gentleman doesn't stand under a dangerous wall, he is a gentleman, and he won't put himself in danger.

Gu Jingyun made a decisive decision, and the person hiding in the shadow was stunned for a moment, and when Gu Jingyun was about to close the door, he suddenly walked out of the shadow, looking anxiously and beggingly.

Walking out of the shadows were a middle-aged woman and a young man. The middle-aged woman was looking at him anxiously, while the young man's face was flushed, watching Gu Jingyun wanting to step forward but not daring to do so.

Gu Jingyun paused as he closed the door, he recognized the woman, she was Baolu's second aunt Mei, he had followed Baolu to Li's house to meet her nine years ago.
