Farmer's Wife Has Space

Chapter 18 Siblings Are Smart and Capable
Yue Lingzhi was very interested in landscape paintings, so she pointed to a painting and asked Gu Zheng.

(How many taels of silver can this painting sell for?)

Gu Zheng's words clearly contained regret: "If you sell it to a shop in the town, you can get [-] Wen, and if you sell it to a shop in the county, you can get about [-] Wen. If you meet someone who knows the goods, the price can go up."

When he went to Beijing to rush for the exam in his previous life, he had to go to the street to sell his paintings in order to eat and stay in a restaurant. He met a man who knew the goods and bought his paintings at a high price of 100 taels of silver each.

After he was the number one scholar in high school, the person who bought his paintings recognized him and resold his paintings. He asked for 1000 taels for each pair, and they robbed them all in one go.

His calligraphy and paintings are not worthless, but it depends on where and when they are sold.

Yue Lingzhi heard the meaning behind Gu Zheng's words, and moved her lips.

(Three hundred coins were sold at a loss.)
Gu Zheng didn't dare to answer her words, he almost slipped his tongue just now.

Worried about Yue Lingzhi's questioning, Gu Zheng changed the subject and looked at Yue Lingzhi seriously: "Starting tomorrow, I will teach you how to read and write."

His tone was not a discussion, but a decision.

After she learned to write, she was able to communicate with his younger siblings without barriers, and all his younger siblings were literate.

Yue Lingzhi nodded helplessly, this is the best way at present, after all her throat can't be healed in a day or two.

What a headache, I didn't expect that one day she would have to do primary school homework!

Moreover, Gu Zheng, the teacher, seems to be very strict.

Sure enough, Gu Zheng discussed with her: "You originally knew some characters, and you are smart, so you should be able to learn them quickly. First, set a small goal, how about writing fifty characters a day?"

"Ahhhhh!"

Yue Lingzhi immediately protested with gestures.

(How about fifty, at most twenty!)
Ancient traditional Chinese characters have many strokes, how can you digest fifty characters a day?

She is not a child prodigy!

Gu Zheng smiled in a very negotiable manner: "Then write twenty characters a day, and I will personally test you when the time comes."

ah?Still have an exam?
Yue Lingzhi felt that he had tricked him, he said fifty words on purpose, just waiting for her to bargain, and then he dug a hole himself.

Depressed, she saw pampering in his eyes again.

She was completely treated like a child by him.

Dinner is really rich, white rice, braised rabbit meat, stewed pheasant soup, fried rapeseed, cold cucumber, set a table.

Yue Lingzhi has been in the front yard and backyard for a long time, and inspected the inside and outside of the house. The rapeseed and cucumbers are grown in the vegetable field in the backyard, and other vegetables in the vegetable field are growing well. The house is also very clean, and there is nothing to see It doesn't look like there is a woman running the house.

These chores were done by nine-year-old Gu Yu and seven-year-old Gu Ying.

The dishes on the table tasted passable, and they were the masterpieces of Gu Ling pointing Gu Yu while leaning on his crutches.

Gu Zheng's siblings are all smart and capable.

Gu Ling was in a particularly good mood because he knew that his leg could recover.

Yue Lingzhi looked at Gu Zheng's five brothers and sisters, and was amazed in his heart. They were all very good-looking, and they didn't look like vulgar children born and raised in the countryside at all.

She had looked in the bronze mirror just now, and knew that her appearance was also impressive. Now she has lost some weight, and when she grows up, she must be a beauty.

Four rabbit legs were given to the four younger ones.

When everyone was eating happily, a girl around fourteen or fifteen came in at the door, holding two pairs of insoles in her hand.

"Wow, it's so delicious! What's so delicious for your family to eat tonight?"

"Sister Xiaofeng." Gu Ying happily counted like a treasure: "Our family will eat stewed rabbit meat, stewed pheasant soup, rice, fried rapeseed, and cucumbers tonight!"
