Wear ancient times with a house

Chapter 44 About Reading
There is no technical content in this thing. People who know some cooking skills will drink it out as soon as they drink it. Song Yun called Bai Zhi in and asked her to introduce it to Zhao Tong in detail.

The maid who followed Zhao Tong listened and took notes silently, preparing to go back and make a drink for the little master.

After eating, the two chatted endlessly for a while, and Song Yun also found out that although Zhao Tong grew up in Fucheng, he was even more bumpkin than her. City, have seen the Lantern Festival.

Originally, it was Song Yun who asked about the appearance of Zhao Tongfu City, but it gradually turned into her introducing all kinds of food in the market to the other party:
"Sister, you must try the flower cakes and milk cakes in the pastry shop in the innermost part of the market. My mother and I both love them. They are not too sweet and soft. They are the best paired with milk tea."

"There is also a wonton shop, the craftsmanship is really amazing, but it has to be eaten on the side of the road, which is a bit indecent. My sister can let the servants of the family buy it, and then you can eat it in a nearby restaurant. Don't take it home, in that case The skin fell off."

Zhao Tong was moved when he heard it, but he was in a dilemma:

"My grandmother forbade me to eat outside food, saying it was bad for my health."

"Uh..." Song Yun paused and could only make up for it:

"It also makes sense. The things sold outside may not be very clean. My sister is weak, so it's okay not to eat it. Then let's do it. My cook is trying new dishes recently. I will ask her to try more snacks and wait for my sister to come. Try it."

"Okay, but it's boring for us to eat together all day, and the fruit you planted hasn't changed much, otherwise I'll learn to read with you."

Song Yun was a little embarrassed, thanks to the fact that he had contributed all the precious mung bean cakes, Zhao Tong hadn't forgotten about it.

She could only suggest vaguely:

"Sister, I haven't learned many words yet. It's not time to teach you yet. If you want to learn, you might as well ask Uncle Zhao to teach you more in his spare time. We can discuss together then. "

Zhao Tong nodded thoughtfully, and didn't mention it again.

On the way home, Zhao Tong chatted and introduced the delicious mung bean cake and milk tea of ​​the Song family to his grandmother, and said that when he returned home, he would ask the maid to make it for his grandmother to taste.

Mrs. Zhao had some calculations in her heart. Since the two children get along well, let them meet more often. She also knows that the youngest daughter of the Song family is very lucky to eat. If she can bring her granddaughter to eat more, It's even better.

So, when Zhao Yanlin came back at night, Mrs. Zhao called him over to discuss the matter with him:

"Erlang, let's go to Song's house today. Sister Tong and Sister Yun had a good time and ate cakes together. I also asked the maid, and she said it was delicious. I thought, our girl always If you stay by yourself, you will inevitably lose your spirits, so it's better to get in touch with that little girl of the Song family more, and the two sisters will be your companions."

The old lady added:
"I think it's good to come to our house. The yard is big and there is a garden. The two little girls can go outside to play."

Zhao Yanlin pondered, he also wanted his daughter to be more lively and healthy, but frequenting Song's house was not appropriate.

When Song Ru gets married, it's fine to invite Song Yun to visit occasionally. If she comes more often, her parents may not be at ease, so she still needs to find a good excuse.

He didn't want his mother to be bothered, so he just promised:

"My son knows. It's just that I'm busy with my marriage right now, so it's inconvenient to mention this matter. When Ru Niang gets married, my son will bring it up with Brother Song to see if he can let his youngest daughter visit our house more often."

Zhao Yanlin went back and changed into clothes that were stained with dust from the outside, and let off the smell of alcohol before going to the yard where his daughter lived.

It's not too late, Zhao Tong didn't sleep, he was looking at the words hanging on the wall in a daze:

Her mother is a merchant woman who can't read. After marrying into the Zhao family, there was no barrier between her husband and husband because of illiteracy. Naturally, she felt that it didn't matter whether a woman could read or not.

In fact, Zhao Tong has no impression of his own mother, but the nanny who brought her with her since she was a child is Bai's dowry maid. She also upholds the concept of the deceased master, and has always instilled in Zhao Tong the concept that "women do not need to be literate" .

Although this nanny was kicked out by the Zhao family a year ago because of her association with the Bai family, Zhao Tong's way of thinking was still inevitably influenced by her.

In short, even though the men in the family were preparing for scientific examinations, Zhao Tong didn't care about studying, and never thought about studying.

However, when Song Yun introduced the desk with bright eyes, she was inexplicably attracted by this kind of enthusiasm: It turns out that reading is not just a "hard job" that her brother always complains about, but also a joy.

When Zhao Yanlin came in, what he saw was this scene, and he couldn't help being a little relieved.As a person who changed the fate of being bullied by reading, he is very willing for his children to study more.

The son had to read it, and although he read it well, he inevitably felt a little resentful; the daughter was not interested all the time, and he was worried that she was wasting her mind, so he didn't force him. Have some fun with it one day.

He admired the look of his daughter looking at the words for a while, and when he heard the noise from outside, he realized that it was getting late, so he coughed lightly, interrupting Zhao Tong's thoughts.

Seeing Zhao Tong turn his head and call out "Daddy" happily, Zhao Yanlin also softened his expression, walked over and sat beside his daughter's bed, and asked:

"Tong'er, why did you remember to look at this painting? Didn't you find it boring before?"

Zhao Tong was a little embarrassed, and she also realized that her father was probably willing to let her study, but he kept refusing, so he could only use this word to imply her.

However, Zhao Tong is a real five-year-old girl. Even if she finds out that her little sister likes to read, she still doesn't understand what is the use of reading to her. At this moment, she asked suspiciously:

"Father, my nanny said that my mother was never literate, so it doesn't affect my father's childbearing, nor does it affect my housework. Besides, I can't take scientific exams when I study, so is there any need for me to study?"

Zhao Yanlin was a little dumb:
What use is reading to a woman?A few decades ago, it might have been said that a woman could enter an academy, become a generation of talented women, and work for the court.

It's just...it was decades ago, just like what the late wife said: her illiteracy doesn't affect her marriage to a good husband, nor does it affect her husband's ability to have children and be a good wife.
