After the ancestors fell

Chapter 11 Reading
In the room, the sisters looked at the silver all over the floor, and couldn't calm down for a while.

You need a peg to weigh the silver, and there is one in Sun's house, so Mu Qingfeng brought it over.

"The smallest of these are five taels, the ones of this size are ten taels, these are 20 taels, and the largest are 50 taels."

The two sisters divided the silver into several piles according to the size, and then began to count with their fingers. They were dizzy after counting, but they still couldn't figure it out.

"In short, it's much better." Mu Hongfei finally concluded.

Mu Qingfeng fell to the ground, rested for a while, and said, "Sister, let's go study."

"read?"

This is something Mu Hongfei never thought about.

When Mrs. Mu was here, she taught the sisters to write their own names, and also taught them how to count.Nothing else will be taught.She herself has suffered so much from being a gifted scholar and a beautiful woman, and she is worried that her daughters will be confused by books like herself after reading the books, indulge in love, and end up in a miserable end.

"Mother said that a woman's lack of talent is virtue, and she told us not to read too many books." Mu Hongfei struggled and was confused, "She said that the wife of the Uncle Chen's next door is illiterate. Although Uncle Chen treats her badly, he always treats her poorly." Beat her, but feed her, feed her, and still not abandon her.

Many people in the town said she was blessed, and her mother envied her that Widow Liu could read and sing, and everyone in the town looked down on her.

The mother said that it is enough for a woman to know a few words and write her own name, and women should not study. "

Mu Hongfei's words successfully made Mu Qingfeng get up.In the past, Mrs. Mu did always say these words in front of them. Mu Qingfeng always went in with his left ear and out with his right ear.

She has eyes and she can see for herself.Mu Qingfeng is not ignorant like other children.The newborn baby is a blank slate. Most children are confused when they are young, and they cannot clearly distinguish between good and bad, right and wrong. Their concept of right and wrong is most easily affected at this time.

Mu Qingfeng has had a clear spirit since she was born. She can distinguish between good and evil, and know right from wrong. She can see through many things, as if she was born with a bright mirror in her heart.

"Sister, mother talked about Aunt Chen, saying that she was illiterate and was not abandoned by Uncle Chen, but she didn't talk about Uncle Chen. Uncle Chen has been educated, literate, can do accounts, can work in a restaurant and earn money. He returned At home, there is an illiterate Aunt Chen who waits on him to dress and eat, and when he is unhappy, there is also an illiterate Aunt Chen for him to vent and let him beat and scold him."

Mu Qingfeng looked into Mu Hongfei's eyes, "Sister, do you want to be the virtuous Aunt Chen who can't read and write, or the uncle Chen who can read and read and be served and respected by others?"

"This--"

Mu Hongfei had never heard such words, and she was horrified, as if two people were fighting.

"Sister, we are women, women should be virtuous."

Mu Hongfei said this sentence weakly, and he didn't know if it was to persuade his sister, or to resist himself in the end?

Fame is nothing more than the clamor of the immoral and incompetent.

"Sister, it doesn't matter if you are a man or a woman, we are all living in this world, we eat the same, sleep the same, what's the difference?

I heard people say that a smart person can know that autumn is coming when he picks up a yellowed leaf.

Without going out, just look at the clouds in the sky, and you can know whether it will rain or wind the next day. "

Mu Qingfeng stood up from the ground and walked outside the door.

At this time, the weather was clear and cloudless.She sat on the threshold, resting her chin, looking at the sky.

"I thought it was weird when I first heard about it.

Why doesn't that person think that the leaves are yellow because the tree is sick and think that it is a change of solar terms?The clouds in the sky are different every day, how did that person infer?

I guess such a person must be very smart, able to deduce more things from small things.

Reading can make sense, you can become smart, and you can know the world without going out. "

Mu Hongfei also stood up, went to the door and sat on the other side of the threshold like his sister.

After a long, long time, it was so long that half of the sky in the west was red.

Mu Hongfei's voice sounded weak and lazy, "It's the first time I know you can talk so much."

At this time, Mu Qingfeng had already gone to the kitchen to cook dinner for the two of them.Did not hear her talking to herself.

She carried the rice jar out of the kitchen and showed the empty jar to her sister, "There is no more rice, it's time to buy rice tomorrow."

Mu Hongfei nodded, "I'll go buy it tomorrow."

Mu Qingfeng rolled her eyes, wondering how much she could bring back with that little strength.

Suddenly, she thought of an idea, with light shining in her big eyes, she patted Mu Hongfei's shoulder like a little adult.

"No, we have money now, sister, you don't have to suffer so much in the future."

Mu Hongfei also reacted, although she didn't know what her sister was planning, but in the spirit of trust, she also imitated an adult and patted Mu Qingfeng's shoulder, "If this is the case, then work hard Qingfeng you gone."

The next day, Mu Qingfeng packed a handful of broken silver in the cloth bag he always carried.

She and Mu Hongfei cut up the money overnight. Large pieces of money are not easy to spend, and the different formats can easily cause unnecessary troubles.

The two of them didn't have any big money transactions, so they simply cut up a few pieces of silver ingots for daily use.

In the ruined temple outside the town, Mu Qingfeng found three little beggars, all aged seven or eight, and the oldest one was ten years old.

The three of them were among the beggars, at least in her opinion, the smartest and the most organized.

Mu Qingfeng took out two pieces of broken silver, about one or two.

"This is wages, and I need you to do things for me."

Without beating around the bush, Mu Qingfeng stated the purpose directly.

"Boss, what do you want us to do?"

Seeing Yinzi, the eyes of the three people lit up, but they didn't move the Yinzi in front of them.

Mu Qingfeng signaled the oldest one to put away the money.

"My sister is not in good health. I don't want her to be too tired. You guys will be responsible for buying for us in the future. Remember to keep your hands and feet clean, and you are not allowed to buy bad ones, otherwise——, do you understand?"

Mu Qingfeng shook his fist at them.

The three people who were frightened quickly nodded their heads to express their loyalty.The position of the boss is obtained by punching and punching among the children in the town. Isn't that kid afraid of her?Who dare not listen to her, will be beaten by her?

And this person is the best at putting on airs. Last year, Tie Dan from the butcher Hu Butcher's house was beaten up by her with a bruised nose and a swollen face. He went home crying and complained.

Butcher Hu is the tyrant in the town, he is very defensive, few people in the town dare to mess with his family.

Although Hu Tiedan was not seriously injured, but someone who dared to beat Hu Butcher's son would not give him face.

Butcher Hu went out aggressively with a butcher's knife, but when he got there, he saw only a delicate and soft girl.

The little girl blinked her eyes like stars in the sky, and smiled at him, confident and fearless!
