It is difficult for the farmer's sister

Chapter 507 Illiterate, no marriage allowed!

Su Chenrui, who was already sitting in the carriage, his face darkened again and again, he opened the curtain abruptly, staring at Meng Mingxu with a smile on his face.

"Why do you talk so much?"

Meng Mingxu waved his hands in a good-tempered manner, "Okay, okay, I won't talk anymore, can I stop talking?"

Sitting in the carriage, Su Chenrui saw that Ren Yanjun's eyes were not eyes, and his nose was not nose. No matter how you looked at it, it was not pleasing to the eye. All the advantages in the past, now they are all disadvantages!

Wouldn't he grow better and read better?Why did the second sister fall in love with him!

Ren Yanjun was used to seeing outsiders sizing him up, how could he not feel Su Chenrui's sizing up so obviously?How could it be possible not to know why?
Just when he was about to say something, Meng Mingxu handed over a box.

"Brother Yan Jun, this is for you."

"?"

"Ah, I missed a word, this is given to you by the second sister."

Looking at the puzzled Ren Yanjun, Meng Mingxu grinned, glanced at the unhappy Su Chenrui, and showed an auntie smile.

"what?"

Ren Yanjun felt a little hot when he took it, his originally indifferent face turned red unconsciously, and he couldn't speak fluently.

"Thank you, thank you."

Seeing this, Su Chenrui's expression became even worse, and he threatened dryly, "I tell you, my second sister is very gentle and very good, if you dare to betray her, let me see how I deal with you!"

Saying this, I didn't forget to make a few gestures with my fist to show the threat!

Ren Yanjun stroked the box gently, raised his head and looked at Su Chenrui with firm eyes, "You can watch my performance in the future."

Su Chenrui was stunned for a moment, then "hummed", and turned his head stiffly.

"Then, let's wait and see."

Meng Mingxu smiled and leaned beside Ren Yanjun, discussing, "Brother Yan Jun, open it and see what Second Sister gave you?"

Su Chenrui's ears twitched when he heard the words, he was also curious about what the second sister gave Ren Yanjun...

Ren Yanjun didn't hesitate, and opened it generously, only to see a pencil case embroidered with a fish jumping over a dragon's gate inside.

Meng Mingxu was surprised, "Wow, the fish leaping over the dragon's gate embroidered by the second sister! She must hope that Brother Yan Jun will succeed in your studies in the future..."

And Su Chenrui was very upset. The second sister had never embroidered a pattern with such a good meaning for him, so her tone became sour.

"Don't disappoint my second sister."

Ren Yanjun carefully touched the fish embroidered on it, and said softly, "Well, I will never disappoint her expectations..."

Butler Wang reported the big and small things in the family.

"Ma'am, since it hasn't snowed recently, the foundation has been dug in Zhuangzi, and the shed will be built when the bricks and tiles arrive..."

"There is no shop for rent in the south of the city. I have cleaned it up in the past two days and repainted the walls. I am waiting for my wife to arrange..."

"There are also purchases in the house..."

Su Rui nodded as she listened, "Well, Steward Wang, you've done a good job. It's just that the buyer must be selected well. I don't want things like stealing from guards to happen in the future."

Steward Wang lowered his head and replied, "Yes, the villain must be chosen well."

Su Rui took a sip of tea, thought for a while and said, "Well, by the way, the boy in our house still finds time to practice martial arts every day, right?"

Butler Wang, "Yes, Uncle De takes time to teach them every day."

After thinking for a while, he said, "Many of the men and girls in the village are adults. The owner of the village asked me to ask, can we arrange marriage partners for them?"

Su Rui touched her chin, "How's the ratio?"

Steward Wang was confused, "What?"

Su Rui, "...the ratio of marriageable men and women!"

Steward Wang suddenly realized, and hurriedly said, "There are twice as many men as women."

Su Rui nodded, thought for a moment and said, "Tell Mother Liu and Uncle De that they can go to the traffickers to see if there are single men and women of marriageable age. It doesn't matter if they are ugly or not, the main thing is to be honest !"

"Don't bring the servants who bought it back to the manor, but send it directly to the Zhuangzi, so that the owner can watch and arrange marriages for unmarried men and women."

"Let's arrange the place to live together!"

"The money spent will be included in the account and reimbursed together!"

Steward Wang was stunned when he heard the words, then nodded, "Young man, remember."

Su Rui was about to wave her hand to say goodbye, but after thinking about it, she said, "By the way, are the servants and girls in our house and the people in Zhuangzi literate?"

Butler Wang was a little confused, why did the topic change so quickly?

But I still answered honestly, "Ma'am, generally, only when you have made meritorious service or your parents have children from the master's family, can you have the opportunity to read and write."

Su Rui curled her lips in her heart, "I don't want to use a servant in the future. What do you ask him to do, but he can't read, how embarrassing?"

"You, go buy a few thousand-character texts, enlightenment books on hundreds of surnames, and return half of them to Zhuangzi. Let the owner arrange for a literate person to teach Zhuang Pu between the ages of five and 25 every day. Both men and women must learn to read. , and tell them when they have learned the thousand-character text, they will be able to write silently, and then arrange a marriage for them."

Su Rui snorted coldly, illiterate, still want to marry a wife?Don't even think about it!

Butler Wang, "...Yes."

After Steward Wang left, Su Rui called Mama Liu, "Mama Liu, besides Xi'er and the others, are all the maids in our yard literate?"

Mother Liu shook her head, "No, they are all the sons of Zhuang Pu, and no one in the village can read except the owner's family."

"..."

Su Rui sighed, that's right, the men in Zhuangpu have no chance to read and write, let alone the women with lower status.

"Mother Liu, when you are not busy during the day, teach them how to read."

Mother Liu nodded, "Yes, this old slave will teach them how to read."

Su Rui thought that it is not enough to know how to read and write, but also to be able to write...

"Have someone ask Butler Wang how many illiterate people there are, count the number, and then buy how many writing brushes, let them dip the water on the ground or a flat place on the table every day, practice writing first, when to write Well, you can apply for paper ink and write on paper.”

It's not that Su Rui is stingy and doesn't want to use paper and ink for Zhuang Pu, but she suddenly remembered that when she was a child, when she was taking brush lessons, she couldn't write soft brush characters well, and she got ink all over her body. So I asked myself to practice pen control on the table with clear water, and then started to write with ink when it was almost done.

Mother Liu, "Yes, this old slave will go and explain."

Su Rui waved her hand and motioned for Mother Liu to go down.

In the magistrate's mansion, Liu's dowry mother-in-law leaned close to Liu's ear and said, "Ma'am, the servants have found out. When General Meng came, he brought a female family member with him. It is said that it is his newly married wife."

Liu was surprised, "Already married?"

The dowry woman said in a disdainful tone, "I'm married, but she's not an official girl, it's said that she's just a farmer's daughter."

Mrs. Liu nodded and murmured, "Farmer's daughter..."

After a while, Liu Shi asked, "Where is Missy?"

The dowry woman glanced at the girl next to her, and the girl hurriedly replied, "Madam, I heard that General Meng will patrol the state city with the captain of the patrol team today, so the eldest lady will..."

Mrs. Liu rubbed her forehead, and waved her hand helplessly, "...that's fine, I understand."

"Jiayu is spoiled by me..."

The dowry woman comforted her, "Ma'am, Missy is still young."

Liu frowned, "Thirteen, not too young."

In Sujia Village, Boss Ge stood at the gate of the cattle farm, and cupped his hands to Su Changan outside the door, "Third Master, before our eldest lady left, I specifically explained that no one except the patriarch's family is allowed to enter the cattle farm." field."
