Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Chapter 35 Ten Wen Yuan

"She made an agreement with me before she came back. Whoever gets married first will lose ten cents." After Zhou Banxia finished speaking, he couldn't help but chuckle when he saw his eldest brother looking confused.

Zhou Yujiang reacted, touched the back of his head and chuckled, thinking that he could just say it, why would he come all the way to send a letter just to owe ten cents.

"After reading it, I didn't say anything important. I just said that when I get to the capital, I will receive a letter. If I want to get married, I must write to her mother. Her mother will bring it to her after receiving the letter.

Her family has children from home, and children born from home are different from servants bought from outside.Those who are masters trust them more, and housekeepers basically use their families to have children. "

Zhou Yujiang nodded to indicate that he understood.The third sister was taking this opportunity to remind him that if he met a housekeeper in the future, he should pay attention to whether the family had children.

It is easier for their masters to trust a son who is born into a family. If not, then the person who works as a housekeeper will have to squeeze in based on his ability. Such people should not be underestimated.

When Zhou Banxia saw Zhou Yujiang deep in thought, she stopped talking.If all children are born at home, it is easy for the master to be weak and the slave to bully the master.

If you want to guard against cliques below, how should you use the method of balance?There's no rush, he won't be able to touch these issues for a year or two now, so haste makes waste.

First read good books, taste good books, and then learn to taste good people, step by step.Zhou Banxia folded the letter, stuffed it into the envelope and put it away, then looked around the bookshelf and desk.

I began to carefully look through the homework on the desk that my two younger brothers had done in the village school in recent days.The key is Dajiang's homework, which she checked particularly carefully.

Zhou Yujiang was not afraid when the third sister asked him to recite one sentence after another. He got used to it after a month.I originally planned to work hard for two years and try to take the county examination.

If you get in, keep studying hard; if you don't get in, drop out.As the eldest son, he couldn't become a drag like the eldest cousin of the Gu family, who had accomplished nothing even when he was over twenty.

"Very good, very hardworking, but be careful not to stay up late." Zhou Banxia hesitated a little, but decided not to mention whether to change to Huang Xiucai's private school in the county town.

Xiaohe will only be eight years old next year, and Huang Xiucai may not want to accept students under the age of ten in advance, but with Dajiang's qualifications and his lack of Shu Xiu, the other party will definitely not refuse.

It's just that Dajiang is a thoughtful kid and likes to be upset about something. Asking for advice too early will inevitably lead to random thoughts and worries about spending money. It's better to wait until after the New Year.

Gu Wenxuan's drinking capacity was okay, and he had been lying down for a while before.When I got up and left the west room and reached the main room, Zhou Yuhe was already running up and down.

Hearing that Zhou Banxia was taking an exam on Zhou Yujiang in the study, he decisively agreed to go and take a look.This little brat just wants his third brother-in-law to see how powerful his third sister is.

This smart guy was afraid that he would be dissatisfied with his third sister being a maid, and wished he could praise his third sister as a rich lady who was good at playing, playing, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Bao Ya's sister-in-law is not as difficult as this brother-in-law.Gu Wenxuan nodded in amusement, agreeing that your third sister is so awesome, right?
Look at this clever guy and enjoy it!Who would have thought that the father-in-law and mother-in-law who are often out of tune could actually raise two good sons, one calm and the other active.

"Third brother-in-law."

"Sit peacefully." Gu Wenxuan held down Zhou Yujiang who was about to bow and give up his seat. "You don't need to be polite at home, and I will definitely not stop you outside. How about it?"

This last sentence was asked towards Zhou Banxia, ​​and most people really didn't know what he wanted to ask.Zhou Banxia smiled and said, "Very good, everything is fine.

Dajiang Xiaohe, you two brothers will accompany your brother-in-law. You guys can chat while I go find my mother and eldest sister.By the way, I won't leave until it gets dark soon. You guys chat slowly, don't be in a hurry. "

Zhou Yujiang was happy that the third sister was not in a hurry to leave, but he was also worried that he didn't know what to talk to the third brother-in-law about. He couldn't make anyone promise to treat the third sister well.

"Have you two brothers read these books?" Just when he didn't know what to talk about, Gu Wenxuan had already walked to the bookshelf.The biggest asset of the Yue family is not the thirty acres of land, but the shelves full of books.

"I haven't finished reading it yet. My eldest brother has read it. But my eldest brother said that I can read some books but I still don't understand them. I just haven't read them yet. I have to listen carefully to Master's lessons."

Zhou Yujiang hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether to mention that his third sister not only copied these books and took them home, but was also familiar with these books and could explain them to him.

It's just that the village school has not yet enrolled girls. The third sister is familiar with the Four Books and the Five Classics. Does the third brother-in-law also think that the girl is talented and won't live a practical life with him?

"...So my third sister is not some rough little maid. She copied scriptures in the old lady's study. Brother-in-law, you see, these are the books copied by my third sister."

All right!

Don't think about it!

While Zhou Yujiang was hesitating, he heard that his younger brother had already spilled everything about the third sister.No matter what, if Gu Liulang had any idea, he could still let Third Sister and Li go home as soon as possible.

After thinking about it, he didn't hesitate anymore, and simply waited for his younger brother to continue talking, no, to continue talking, so that Gu Liulang could see that his third sister's loss was not a man's body.

Gu Wenxuan didn't know that his brother-in-law had already made a plan in his mind. Once he even revealed that he was dissatisfied with his wife's familiarity with the Four Books and Five Classics, she would not be able to save her.

He was doing two things, chatting and thinking about what he said when Zhou Xiucai, who was a bit drunk at the wine table, asked him if he regretted dropping out of school.

In fact, it was not willful at the time.Rokuro has a talent for learning. He entered school at the age of eight. By the age of ten, he had memorized hundreds of surnames and the Thousand-Character Classic, and even memorized a lot of the Analects of Confucius.

It's just that the handwriting is mediocre, and there's nothing that can be done about it. The village school founded by Zhou Xiucai has few repairmen, but pen, ink, paper and inkstone are the cheapest and cost a lot of money.

When I was thirteen or fourteen years old, I was in the stage of studying the Four Books and Five Classics again. Compared with the Hundred Family Surnames and Thousand Character Classics that I had studied before, the Four Books and Five Classics were much more difficult.

It happened that my uncle failed the exam again, and I saw him hanging himself. The whole family cried, coaxed, and scolded me. The atmosphere of despair was really exciting.

Then he saw that his parents were afraid that he would be frightened and they steamed a bowl of chicken cakes and were gloating that the whole family would be wronged. They also had to explain with a smile to please his grandparents. At that moment, he suddenly understood.

It's so difficult to be a scholar. You have to study hard and have enough money to pay for it.If you continue to stay in school, your parents will only be insulted more, so it is better to drop out of school as soon as possible.

Then he dropped out of school without saying a word, and studied this and that, thinking that one day he would be able to make a career on his own, but he regretted that it was a lie, otherwise he would not have gone to the capital city to do business as a student.

Zhou Banxia walked around her parents' house, chatting with Mrs. Li, taking care of the children with Zhou Daya, and then murmuring for a while with Zhou Shun who woke up, before turning back to the east wing.

When she arrived at the east wing, before she even lifted the curtain and went in, she heard Gu Wenxuan and Zhou Yujiang talking animatedly to each other and holding books.

Not bad.

It's a tie.
