King’s House Kindergarten

When Shen Yue woke up, the sky was already bright.

Last night... she actually slept on the desk until this time...

It hasn't been like this for a long time, the last time was before the time of crossing.

Shen Yue stood up with her hands up, feeling a slight pain in her shoulders and neck.

Shen Yue raised her shoulders slightly, but it was really difficult to lift her up. She should have been lying on the table last night, her shoulders and neck were cold, and she was afraid that it would take a day or two to give up.

Shen Yue sighed softly, trying her best to avoid it when she moved.

In the morning, Butler Tao arranged for people to help make teaching aids, so it's not good to be late.

Shen Yue simply took a shower, changed her clothes, took the documents she prepared last night, and left the house.

There are many people in Beijing looking for a living.

At this time, there are many people on the road.

Shen Yue closed the door.

It was originally the transition of autumn and winter, and the mornings were mostly cold. Shen Yue clutched her cloak and walked towards the alley. She couldn't help thinking of the commuting days before crossing. Just two steps away, she saw a carriage parked outside the house.

"Miss Shen." Mantou handed over.

Shen Yue was surprised, "Steamed bread? You..."

Mantou said with a smile, "Miss Shen, Butler Tao ordered me. During these days, Miss Shen has been working hard, getting up early in the morning and getting up in the dark. Butler Tao asked me to pick up Miss Shen every morning, and take Miss Shen for a ride every day after dusk. In case it's cold, Miss Shen will freeze on the road."

She is actually afraid of the cold.

But Mantou's words reminded her that there is no shortage of carriages in Pingyuan's palace, but there is a shortage of manpower to take care of the children. The preparation for the kindergarten is imminent, and there is no delay. Although the round-trip journey is not long, the cold wind is piercing, and she catches a cold, and the children in the house have nowhere to go.

Butler Tao let Mantou speak clearly, but Shen Yue did not refuse any more, "Thank you, Mantou, from then on, it's all at this time, you don't have to come early, you don't have to wait in the wind."

"Okay, Miss Shen!" Mantou replied happily.

Miss Shen is a sensible person, and she is not picky, so Mantou is not tired after taking over the job.

Shen Yue got into the carriage, which was still burning with charcoal warmth.

Shen Yue took off his cloak.

There are steamed buns to pick up and drop off, so you won't be frozen on the road, and you will be tired.

Shen Yue didn't sleep well last night.

Resting his elbows on the carriage window lattice, propping his face on one side, he slept leisurely.

"Miss Shen..." Mantou called for the third sound, and Shen Yue woke up. Looking through the curtain on the carriage window, she vaguely saw that the carriage seemed to have stopped at the gate of the palace, Shen Yue quickly got up, lifted the curtain, and apologized in her eyes, "I just fell asleep."

"It's not in the way." Mantou had set the pedals, and Shen Yue stepped on the pedals to get off the carriage. Only then did Mantou drive the carriage and enter through the side door. At the gate, there was already a servant next to Tao Dongzhou waiting. Seeing Shen Yue, He stepped forward quickly, "Butler Tao asked Xiao to come here and wait for Miss Shen. All the people that Miss Shen asked for are here, and Butler Tao is also there. Miss Shen, please come with Xiao."

After entering the palace, Shen Yue vaguely guessed how much, why Butler Tao made a special trip to pick her up today.

At this time, there are many people from the military in uniform in the mansion, some of them are together, or they are led by the servants in the mansion alone. As quiet as the previous two days.

Shen Yue also suddenly remembered that King Pingyuan was going to go on an expedition tomorrow, so the wave after wave of people in the army in the mansion today should all come to see King Pingyuan.

Shen Yue lowered her head, not daring to look any further, and quietly followed behind the servant to Butler Tao.

She was dressed plainly, and she lowered her head and didn't speak much, and most of the people in the army didn't notice her.

She also heard intermittently, the voices from the mouths of these soldiers.

"Fortunately, this time, I'm afraid the bandits will be back in three or two months."

"Don't look at this as a bandit suppression, it's not an easy job. I heard that there was a drought earlier, and the government's food and salaries for the disaster relief were delayed. When the refugees arrived at one place, they supported the bandits and established themselves on the hilltop. They were all displaced. For the sake of their livelihood, it is difficult for the people to fight this battle or not.”

"It's not! ~ A hot potato, obviously throwing the problem to the prince, I don't know what the prince is going to do, if you can't handle it, it's just..."

"It's still the New Year's Day... The New Year's Day is to suppress the bandits, and it is to make the common people have a bad life."

"Cough cough" One of them coughed lightly, and the people next to him fell silent.

Shen Yue also listened to this for a while.

Soon he reached the innermost corridor in the front yard, and he basically did not meet anyone in the army again.

The servant led her to the side courtyard in the front yard, but those in the army just went to the south courtyard through the long corridor.

The South Courtyard was the residence of King Pingyuan.

To the promenade here is completely separated.

Shen Yue only knew earlier that King Pingyuan was here to suppress the bandits, but little else knew about it. From the conversation between the officers just now, Shen Yue probably guessed the clue.

This time, it's not the battle that's hard to fight...

is the human heart.

In her thoughts, the servant had already led her to the side garden.

When we entered, the housekeeper Tao had already arrived, and there were five or six maids and one or two craftsmen in the room.

"Miss Shen is here?" Tao Dongzhou has been treating her politely.

Shen Yue was also blessed, "Butler Tao."

Tao Dongzhou nodded slightly, and then instructed the person in front of him, "Come here to meet Miss Shen. The lord will leave the affairs of the little masters in the mansion to Miss Shen to take care of. These few days, all of you are here, waiting for you. Miss Shen sent it. There is no need to ask more questions, everything is done according to Miss Shen's wishes. "

Everyone hurriedly greeted them, "Hello, Miss Shen."

All of a sudden, there were so many openings in the room, Shen Yue didn't expect it, and was a little caught off guard.

"Long Qing and Shao Ai are the ones who will help Miss Shen in the future." Tao Dongzhou said, and the two maids in front of him stepped forward, "I have seen Miss Shen."

At the age of thirteen or fourteen, he looks younger, and the more lively one is Shao Ai; at the age of seventeen or eighteen, the one who looks more stable and meticulous is Onion Green.

This was mentioned by Shen Yue earlier, that two teaching assistants were needed, Tao Dongzhou chose two people from the mansion according to Shen Yue's request, because they were both taken care of in front of the young lady, and they were also trusted people in the mansion.

Tao Dongzhou said again, "The remaining few people are all maids who were drawn out of the mansion. They are ingenious and the most meticulous handicraftsmen in the mansion. Master Zhao and Master Yuan are the masters of Ruyifang in Beijing, and they also invited them together. Come here, Miss Shen will see how to use the manpower properly. If it's not enough, let someone tell me, and I'll find a way."

Shen Yue replied, "Enough, I'll trouble Butler Tao."

Shen Yue didn't expect that for most of the day, butler Tao was still watching the venue with her yesterday afternoon. This morning, the manpower has been arranged properly, and even the experts from Ruyifang have been invited. These days, teaching aids are more than enough.

Tomorrow, the king of Pingyuan will go on an expedition, and there are many things in the mansion today that Tao Dongzhou needs to see.

Shen Yue made a proper explanation here, and Tao Dongzhou left first.

Shen Yue called everyone forward, spread out the list first, and briefly described the purpose and meaning of the teaching aids. Some were simple sketches, some were abstract. She could only briefly describe on the spot, and then asked everyone to talk about her strengths. , and then divide the labor and claim it, so that the tasks will be divided quickly.

Because each teaching aid has a unique concept, Shen Yue will explain to each person the special features and precautions of the responsible teaching.

Although there are many people, there are also many teaching aids.

I have to go to this place for almost a day today, and I am afraid I don't have time to see the children in the house.

According to the division of labor, the more difficult ones are done by the masters of Ruyifang, and the simpler ones are done by the maids in the house.

As for Cong Qing and Shao Ai, Shen Yue asked them to follow her first. When she explained the meaning and use of different Montessori teaching aids to the others, they could both listen together.

In this way, time flies extremely fast...

It was noon in the blink of an eye.

Shen Yue and the others took time to eat a simple meal and continued today's work.

Since the things Shen Yuerang makes are very fresh, and they can tell the reason, they are still used by the young ladies in the mansion, and they are especially careful and serious, and they don't feel boring.

Coupled with Shen Yue's patience, Shen Yue can also explain the questions they occasionally ask in detail, such as why the colors are less conspicuous to attract children's attention. Instead, let the children focus on the teaching aids themselves, so others can understand how to make adjustments.

Therefore, although there is a lot of work in this day, it is also in full swing, and before you know it, the evening passes...

Tao Dongzhou came to visit once, but when he came, the house was so busy that no one noticed him.

And Shen Yue was also talking about the precautions of the pink tower to the master Ruyifang who made the pink tower, the size and difference of each part, both Cong Qing and Shao Ai were listening carefully, as if they were not listening enough, they all ignored Tao Dongzhou.

Tao Dongzhou smiled, the house did not know when he left.

Tao Dongzhou didn't bother either.

…

It was almost at the end of the hour when Zhuo Yuan was busy preparing for tomorrow's expedition, so someone called Tao Dongzhou.

"Uncle Tao, I'm going on an expedition tomorrow, please take care of the people in the house." Tao Dongzhou is his father's former department, and he grew up watching Zhuo Yuan since he was a child. Although he is the housekeeper of the palace, Zhuo Yuan has always respected, "Especially, in the middle A year later..."

Tao Dongzhou also fulfilled his duties, "Don't worry, my lord, this old servant will definitely do his best in the affairs of the mansion, and there will be no mistakes. Now there is Miss Shen again, according to the past two days, although Miss Shen is young, she has a lot of heart and care for the children. Your own set. Your lord, you can rest assured when you go out this time."

"Has someone sent her back?" Zhuo Yuan asked casually when it came to Shen Yue.

Tao Dongzhou said, "Not yet, Miss Shen is still in the front yard, preparing things for the kindergarten. She came in the morning, and now everyone else has left, she still stayed to check the gaps. It's been a whole day, and there is no entrance to the garden. I've been working hard all the time. The old slave really likes Miss Shen - he is patient with the young lady in the mansion, and he is meticulous in his work, so he doesn't have to be picky..."

Zhuo Yuan gave Uncle Tao a meaningful look. He seemed to have rarely heard such praise from Uncle Tao.

Tao Dongzhou said with a smile, "My lord, this old servant thinks that Miss Shen is different from those previous nannies. This time, Miss Shen should stay longer..."

***

In the side garden, Shen Yue was still carefully looking at the teaching aids made today one by one.

There are finished products and semi-finished products.

To continue tomorrow, she will read it in turn tonight, which ones need to be repaired, and which ones are not right and may need to be redone. These will have to wait for others to leave before she has time to read them all at once. In this way, wait When tomorrow comes, all the work can continue without delay.

The time is already tight, and she can't care about the current time.

Originally, she was focused on doing things. She looked at every teaching aid carefully, and she would also note down any problems in the notes and put them under the teaching aids.

Xu Zhi was too serious to notice the footsteps in the garden.

Zhuo Yuan actually looked at her for a long time.

Seeing her half-kneeling in front of the table, looking at the teaching aids in her hands repeatedly, sometimes frowning slightly, sometimes with a slight tick at the corner of her mouth, the light halo on the table half-obscured her profile. , the slender feathered eyelashes blinked slightly under the halo, silhouetted a fresh and beautiful outline, making people forget to look away.

A little, he took his seat a few days before the case.

Only then did Shen Yue realize that she wanted to stand up and salute, but when she saw him, she suddenly remembered the corn in Taotao's hand yesterday, and couldn't help but smile.

"What are you laughing at?" He looked up at her, and his heart moved inexplicably.

Shen Yue smiled and said, "Yesterday, I made a corn craft with Taotao, and I put on the eyes, nose, mouth, smiley face, and hair. Taotao likes it very much. I asked her if she wanted to give the corn a name..."

"Then what?" he asked quietly.

Shen Yue stared at him, "Tao Tao took your name."

"Zhuo Yuan?" He frowned slightly, as if surprised.

"Qingzhi." She said suddenly.

These two words came out of her mouth without warning, and he couldn't help being stunned.

Thought she was calling him.

Her voice was gentle and gentle, like a nightingale, and under the dim light, it was alluring and unexpected...
