The First Auxiliary Road from the Imperial Examination

There is a pine and cypress pavilion in the backyard of Anhetang. In the pavilion, there is a Wenyu chessboard all the year round. Next to the chessboard is a Ru kiln long-necked vase with a single light lotus-colored rattan flower in the vase.

There is an antique pottery round incense burner beside the vase, water waves float in the groove of the incense burner, a red candle is lightly burning in the middle, and a layer of lychee incense is lightly placed on the pottery piece above the red candle.

At this moment, Mrs. Chang and Fourth Master Sheng were sitting at both ends of the chessboard, each holding a chess piece to judge the situation.

The confidant nanny came forward with a smile on her face, and reported such and such in Mrs. Chang's ear.

"Tch!" Mrs. Chang smiled and shook her head, casually threw the chess piece into the jar, picked up the white porcelain tea bowl and drank it.

Seeing that his mother didn't intend to continue, Fourth Master Sheng picked up the chess pieces one after another.

He was originally here as a companion, how the chess game progresses naturally depends on mother's interest.

"In the final analysis, this is the confidence of the wife of the main room, who can be happy and angry as she pleases." Mrs. Chang had a smile on her lips, and spoke slowly and in a cool tone.

Fourth Master Sheng laughed lightly after hearing this: "Son, I heard people say that that person can't see Father holding Sister Yuan."

Mrs. Chang raised her eyelids to look at him when she heard the words, and saw that he seemed to think so deeply. Apart from being speechless, most of her good mood was gone: "Fourth brother, just guard your academy well!"

"???" Fourth Master Sheng was puzzled.

That's a good point, why did you suddenly come up with such a digression?
Mrs. Chang wanted to touch his forehead when she saw him like this.

Thinking about her planning for half her life, although she is not wise, it is enough for the city.

How did you give birth to such a son!

The more Mrs. Chang thought about it, the more unhappy she became. She no longer had any interest in motivating the Duke to fight with Mrs. Liang. She waved her hand helplessly and began to drive people away: "Go back!"

Fourth master Sheng thought about his father's previous warnings, and felt that he had just arrived, so he should spend more time with his mother.

Mrs. Chang listened to his ramblings, so she shook her arms and opened her silk handkerchief to block her eyes, waving her hands, "Why don't you have nothing to do? Let's just talk about Sister Ting, she is as old as Sister Qiang from the fifth room." , seeing that Sister Qiang has entered Baizhou Academy, but Sister Ting is still studying in the home school.

Although the tutors of the family studies are all excellent, but reading is not only dependent on the excellence of the tutors, one has to broaden one's horizons and contacts. For this alone, the family studies cannot be compared with other academies. Otherwise, why would our son-in-law learn every year? Want to borrow two or three months at an outside academy?

Therefore, you must have a charter in your heart!Don't be confused and delay sister Ting's future!

In my opinion, Yunqi Academy is very good!If you can't arrange for Sister Ting to go in, you can go to our third master, haven't you been close to his third elder brother and third elder brother in recent years?This little thing can't trouble him. "

No matter what Sheng Siye thought in his heart, he was very cooperative on the face.

"What you said is, but now the academies in Kyoto are extremely strict on the enrollment of T-classes. This does not mean that you can enroll just by signing up.

Sister Qiang can enter Baizhou Academy, because the elder brother of the fifth sibling's natal sister-in-law is working as the deputy supervisor, if I arrange for Sister Ting, I may not really need the help of the third brother, but..."

Mrs. Chang thought he was trying to bring the two concubine daughters with him: "Sister Tong and Sister Jun are still young, and there is no rush to study outside. What's more, if all the children who are homeschooled go outside, then it will be too late. What kind of family school is the family school that your father bothered to run?"

Fourth Master Sheng nodded first, and then shook his head: "Sister Tong and Sister Fungus are not in a hurry, they are both quiet and quiet, and they can't read anything when they go out. Learning at home is enough.

The son wanted to say that Sister Ting actually didn't need to go outside to study, and it's not that there is no academy at home, it would be more appropriate for her to stay in his son's academy. "

"Stupid!" Mrs. Chang couldn't help but sink her face when she heard him say this, patted the table, and said angrily, "If the opportunity to study in an outside academy is not precious, then our generous third master can take Miss An Dive into the Imperial College?
He studied with the emperor, stayed with the officials, and was backed by the empress and prince, so he was very well informed!
It can be seen that as long as women study, they will probably have a future in the future!

Although Sister Ting is not very talented, but rare things are precious, if we can seize the opportunity, even a mediocre person will have a career!What's more, Sister Ting is just not enough. "

"Is that so?" Fourth Master Sheng never thought that girls would have the opportunity to pursue official careers. Although there have been rumors all these years, he just felt unrealistic.

"The Prophet of Spring River Plumbing Duck." Mrs. Chang looked at her bewildered son, shook her head, and said, "Even if Sister Ting is preparing for nothing, it won't be a bad thing if you read more books; if the situation really changes , we are prepared, so don’t we have all the opportunities within our grasp?”

Fourth Master Sheng listened carefully, but in fact he was not very interested.

He thinks he loves his sons and daughters, but the girl is going to be an official?I'm afraid it's not easy wow!

"Do you think it's easy for a woman to be confined to the back house?" Mrs. Chang rolled her eyes at him, "You crawled out of my stomach, how could I not know what you think? It's just because I'm afraid of making wedding clothes for others!"

Fourth master Sheng was a little embarrassed by being directly exposed in this way, he touched his nose and laughed repeatedly.

Mrs. Chang sighed slowly: "You only have two sons, Brother Xi and Brother Xiao are good boys, but in good conscience, their talents are not much stronger than you and your second brother, your father wants them to join the army As a team, but I don't agree.

One is that they are not talented enough. According to what your father said, the prince is also ambitious. Seeing that he is as ambitious as today, he wants to be the master of the world. If a war breaks out in the future, what will happen to the two brothers in the military camp?You can't be talented enough to take your life to make up for it, right? "

Fourth Master Sheng turned pale from being frightened by Mrs. Chang.

In his early years, he only had two legitimate sons, and he couldn't bear to part with any mistake!
Seeing that Mrs. Chang was bluffing him, she said again: "If you don't practice martial arts, you can study literature. You can live well if you have a family background. Now your father is alive, and they are the princes of the Duke's mansion. In the future, the eldest son will be the prince. They are just meager men." The sons of petty officials, have you considered how to settle down for them?
At the beginning, I was full of delusional thoughts. I fought with Mrs. Liang and the head of the house for a long time, and we have already become enemies. If this mansion changes its owner, who will your children and grandchildren rely on to promote them?
Your second elder brother and your brother have a deep bond, so it is natural to support your nephew, but he is not very outstanding, and when it comes to Brother Dial, he is not a material for reading.

You brothers and their cousins ​​have feelings, but after three or five generations, the two of you are not even relatives, let alone supporting each other sincerely? "

Fourth Master Sheng had never thought about this much, but now hearing Mrs. Chang say this, he was immediately disturbed and speechless.

Mrs. Chang saw that she had finished talking, so she said: "Although sister Han of your second brother's family is not sensible, sister Yun is a good child. Last time I corresponded with your second brother, I heard him say that this child is very hardworking. , his grades are not worse than that of Xiao Langjun in the academy.

Sister Ting also corresponded with her from time to time, and I heard that they also talked about their homework, which shows that they are also hardworking.If their sisters have a future, they can support each other, and they can also help their brothers.

It is better to rely on sisters who are capable and promising in the family than to rely on in-laws like brother-in-law and brother-in-law. Even if you ask your own sisters for something, you will not be laughed at as an autumn wind. "
