After transmigrating into a stepmother, I transformed my whole family to work on farming

The bell tower rings.

It's a new day again.

There was a busy sound in Kuanzhengfang early in the morning.

Adults go to work and children go to school.

The aroma of cooked food was already wafting from Qin Yao's kitchen. Boiled goat milk was added with crushed tea foam and stirred, and then filtered through three layers of fine cotton cloth. The result was a pot of steaming hot milk tea without any smell of mutton.

If you like sweet taste, you can add sugar. If you like the original flavor, you don’t need to add anything. The taste is smooth and rich. Sanlang can drink two big bowls by himself.

If Yin Le hadn't been afraid that he would be too full, he would have taken his bowl of milk away, thinking that the child would have had another bowl.

In comparison, Erlang and Si Niang were not very happy with the milk tea. Only after their mother told them to drink it, they pinched their noses and drank half a bowl.

Dalang didn't care. He knew that goat milk was good for the body, so he drank a full bowl of it every day.

After breakfast, the four children went back to their rooms to pack their book boxes.

Today is the day to meet the teacher at Fan’s private school. Last night was full of twists and turns, and the adults in the family didn’t get much sleep. But now, for the sake of the children’s schooling, they have to force themselves to wake up and get out of bed.

Si Niang had nothing to do, so she followed her brothers and watched them clean up.

The Fan family private school does not accept female students, and it seems that all the schools and private schools in Kyoto are not welcoming to female students.

Liu Ji had previously inquired about all the schools near his home, but no one was willing to make concessions.

Besides, the teacher has his reasons for not accepting female students - the classroom is full of men, and if a little girl comes, wouldn't it disrupt etiquette?

Even if we take a step back, there are many female teachers in the capital who are willing to give lectures at home. If you have the conditions, you can invite one to your home. There is no need to let your daughter come out and suffer.

Liu Ji was unhappy at the time, "Could it be that girls from ordinary families cannot afford a female teacher and will not study?"

The teacher, who seemed to be quite easy to talk to, smiled and said, "Of course you can learn. Look, the women's academy next to the Imperial College only accepts girls."

Liu Ji paused for a moment before realizing that he seemed to have missed something.

He thought that Kyoto was the same as Kaiyang County, with only boys' schools and free schools. Unexpectedly, they did not accept female students because boys' and girls' schools were separated in the capital.

However, the time was short and Liu Ji had no time to inquire about the situation at the girls' academy.

After he sends the three boys in the family to school, he will make some plans for his daughter.

After all, the Fan Family Private School in Kuanzhengfang is very close. Just turn right through an alley after leaving the house and it will be there in less than a quarter of an hour.

On the way there, Liu Ji reminded him, "Brother San, remember the route. I'll have your uncle Awang pick you up for the first two days, but you'll have to go back and forth by yourselves from now on. Do you understand?"

The three Dalang brothers nodded and were looking forward to the days when they could go to and from school alone.

When the father and his two sons went to school, Qin Yao was still lazing on the bed. She originally wanted her parents to send the three children to school together. After all, it was the first day and there could be some sense of ceremony.

But, I really can’t get up.

But the point is that the four father and sons didn’t wake her up!
When Qin Yao got up, the yard was quiet.

Si Niang was taken out by Yin Le to buy vegetables, while Awang was busy watering the fields in the backyard.

Qin Yao opened the door and looked up at the sky. The sun was already high in the sky. It was around 10:30 in the morning.

She stood there for a minute, her soul completely returning to its place with her body. She washed herself and went to the kitchen, where she found half a pot of warm goat's milk, a plate of pancakes on the stove, scooped a spoonful of sauce, sat at the open island, and ate her breakfast slowly, taking a bite of pancake and a sip of milk.

The blue sky, white clouds, quiet courtyard, and the faint sound of human voices in the distance make it quite cozy.

Thinking back to what happened last night, Qin Yao felt as if she had just had a dream. Early this morning, Wusheng was sent to the Jingzhao Yin Yamen by the owner of the shop.

When the people arrived, the Black Cavalry from the Crown Prince's Palace and the Princess's Guards were all there.

A small thief attracted these two important figures to attend the trial together. The people of the capital could not help but be curious.

What happened afterwards was unknown to the neighbors of Kuanzhengfang, who had already sent the defendant back home and did not stay in the yamen to attend the trial.

But Qin Yao was not worried at all that she would not be able to get the follow-up of this big melon. There are no secrets under the imperial city, so she just let the bullets fly for a while.

When she slowly finished her breakfast, her old father Liu Ji, who had sent his children to school, came back.

When he got home, he didn't go in first, but looked at the door of the Qi family next door, muttering quietly, "It's already this late, and the Qi Censor hasn't left the court yet. It looks like it's really lively now."

He ran to the fruit stall at the corner of the alley, picked out a bag of fruit, asked some questions, and then went home.

"Madam, I'm back! Where are you?" Liu Ji shouted as he entered the door.

Qin Yao helplessly held her forehead and responded, "In the kitchen!"

Liu Ji smiled and ran over excitedly with the fruit he bought. When he saw her, he immediately took credit for it.
"The enrollment of Dalang, Erlang and Sanlang has been arranged. The teacher asked them to stay in the school today to get familiar with the school. The formal class will start tomorrow. Just ask Awang to pick them up in the evening."

He found the copper basin, poured the fruits into it, scooped water to clean the fruits, put them into the fruit plate, placed it on the island in front of Qin Yao, and shouted to the vegetable garden in the backyard:

"Awang, come quickly! The master invites you to eat some fruit!"

He picked out a few large ones, peeled them, cut them into pieces with a knife, and put them in a small bowl. He put a toothpick on it and handed it to Qin Yao. "I've tasted the loquats I picked this morning. They're very sweet."

Qin Yao ate two pieces out of consideration and stopped eating. She wanted to eat watermelon, but it was unavailable at the moment.

"Awang, let's plant some watermelons in our yard next year." Qin Yao said to Awang who was washing his hands in front of the water tank.

Awang nodded, washed his hands, walked in, grabbed a handful of loquats, and ate one at a time. In less than two minutes, he finished the handful.

He reached out and took another handful and quickly finished it.

Liu Ji quickly stretched out his hand to block the fruit plate, "I told you to eat it, but I didn't tell you to chew the peony like that. You should taste the fruit slowly and in small bites, okay?"

Awang stared at him and asked, "Can you be more generous?"

Liu Ji: "."

"Hey, forget it, I'm convinced by you." In order to appear generous, Liu Ji simply grabbed a handful of silver for him and sent him away.

He took out his abacus and said, "Madam, the tuition fee for the Fan family private school is five taels of silver per person per year, plus one tael of silver for food expenses, and two sets of student robes per year for eight cents of silver. The total for our third boy is 20 taels and four cents of silver per year."

"Yes, it's twenty taels and four cents!" Liu Ji calculated it again and said with certainty.

Qin Yao hummed, "Go ask Awang for money. I've given the cash box to him. Awang will be responsible for all the expenses of the family from now on."

Liu Ji suppressed his envy and jealousy towards Awang and nodded, "Okay."

After talking about the children's school, Liu Ji said excitedly: "My dear, do you know that today I went to the Fan family private school and saw that every student had a magical book box from our family!"

Qin Yao raised her eyebrows: "Really?"

"Of course!" Liu Ji said this with a proud look on his face, "Those guys are secretly competing to see whose bookcase is the most special."

Of course, it can't compare to his flashy bookcase. (End of this chapter)
