Rebirth of the beauty of the peasant girl

Chapter 6 I want to take a bath
Liu Heping laughed: "It's okay for Niuniu to mow the grass, I will watch her."

"You are working in the field, how can you keep staring at her?" Du Shi was worried, "I can't leave when I am busy at home, washing clothes, cooking and embroidery, how can I rest assured that Niu Niu is alone ?”

Leaning on Du Shi's lap, Liu Qingluo said crisply: "Mother, I promise not to run around. I'll try cutting it for a few days tomorrow. I remember the last time I fell into a ditch, and I won't dare again..."

"That's the only way... I, Niu Niu, is so smart, and my mother still wants Niu Niu to study Nushu, so she can become a female teacher in the future..." Du Shi touched her neck, panting.

"Mother, will Niuniu be able to take the imperial examinations like my second uncle in the future?" Liu Qingluo took the opportunity to express her doubts.

Mrs. Du chuckled, and poked Liu Qingluo on the forehead with her finger, "You little man, your ears are sharp, women's exams are not called imperial examinations, they are called kao wenxiu!"

"Mom, what is Wenxiu?"

"Our Great Zhou Emperor's Majesty is a woman, and Shangguan Shan, the prime minister next to His Majesty, is also a woman. They stipulate that intelligent and dignified women can also enter the school and take the Wenxiu exam. The number one scholar in Wenxiu can also enter the palace as an official!"

Liu Qingluo was astonished for a long time before asking: "Mother, has the emperor of our Great Zhou always been a woman?"

Du Shi pursed her lips and smiled: "Then how is it possible, this Her Majesty the Empress is the first..."

"Then, if you don't pass the Wenxiu No. [-] Scholar, is there any other use?"

"Of course, as long as you are admitted to the Wenxiu list, you will be a female gentleman. The court will divide the land and distribute food and money every month!"

When Du Shi said this, his eyes sparkled.

It is a great honor for the land given by the imperial court to be raised with money and food every month.

In the adjacent Nanqiao Village and Beiqiao Village, there is only one female husband, who is also the female husband of Beiqiao Village Girls' School. The family has dozens of acres of land, and the yamen sends money, food and meat to them every month. People are so envious...

The most important point is that women admitted to Wenxiu also have a great advantage in marriage.After the results of the Wenxiu exam are released every three years, the thresholds of the families of those women who are on the list will definitely be broken by matchmakers who say they will marry each other!
When a rich family chooses a daughter-in-law, they all like to choose a woman who has passed the Wenxiu exam.

Because such a woman is not only recognized by the imperial court for her appearance, but also outstanding in terms of virtuousness and virtue, as well as in terms of talent and learning.

Liu Qingluo thought for a while, and said innocently, "Mom, when can I visit the girls' school in Beiqiao Village?"

"Why do you go to Beiqiao Village if you have nothing to do? Your mother and I are so busy every day, how can I have free time?" Du put away the sewing basket, stood up and beat his back, "It's getting dark, let's go, mother to coax Niuniu go to bed."

"No, mother, I'm going to Beiqiao Village, I want to see the lady!"

In order to get close to the legendary girls' school, Liu Qingluo went all out, took advantage of her five-year-old appearance, and pulled on Du Shi's trouser legs.

Du Shi said with a tiger face: "Don't go!"

"Go!"

"Why are you so skinny, little brat?" Mrs. Du lifted her up, tucked her under her arm, and patted her butt, "Stinky girl, have you come to your mother to collect debts in your life?"

"Damn it!"

"mother!"

When Liu Heping saw that his daughter had been beaten, he felt very distressed, so he came forward and grabbed Du Shi, and rescued Liu Qingluo.

Liu Wenquan also pleaded for her, "Mother, don't hit my sister. I'll take my sister to Beiqiao Village to see when it's time for the fair."

"Okay, the three of you come to piss me off together, let me be mad at me someday!" Du Shi said angrily, "It's just the three of you who are dear to each other, don't you take my mother seriously!"

When Liu Qingluo saw it, she quickly got out of Liu Heping's arms, hugged Du Shi's leg, and said coquettishly, "Mother, Niuniu likes mother the most, and she will be filial to mother when she grows up..."

Liu Qingluo was chubby, and the most conspicuous thing on her face was a pair of big black eyes, black and white, clear as water, looking at Du Shi so watery, Du Shi's heart almost melted...

She touched Liu Qingluo's chubby face, "Little girl, you are not allowed to marry when you grow up. Girls are extroverted, and when you marry, you are someone else's family. How can you remember to honor your old mother?"

What about getting married is too far away for the current Liu Qingluo, she just pretends that she doesn't understand and laughs foolishly.

Seeing that his mother was not angry anymore, Liu Wenquan also had fun with his younger sister.

Du cursed angrily: "You little bastard, why are you having fun with your sister? You will marry a wife in two years, and you must have forgotten your old lady early in the morning!"

Liu Wenquan was implicated innocently, but he was simple and honest by nature, and he could only scratch his head and laugh.

"Damn it, don't be angry. We, Niuniu, can't go to study. We can go to see what's wrong with the girls' school. When I go to the town to sell mountain goods in two days, I'll take Niuniu and walk to Beiqiao Village on the way."

Liu Heping gave Liu Qingluo a small cricket, and said with a smile, "Niu Niu, this father made it up, you can play with it."

"Wow!" Liu Qingluo's eyes lit up when she saw it.

The crickets that Liu Heping made out of grass leaves are simply lifelike.

She found a thread end from Du Shi's sewing basket, tied the cricket and hung it on the head of the bed. When the wind blew, the cricket swayed with the wind, which was not childlike.

Liu Qingluo lay on the bed, staring at the crickets on the bedside, with a faint smile on her lips.

At this time, she suddenly smelled a strange smell...

"Huh?" She rolled over and sat up, sniffing left and right, and finally found that the smell came from herself...

Because she got sick from falling into the water, Mrs. Du didn't let her get wet from that day on, for fear that she would catch a cold again, so she washed her hands, feet and face every day, and hadn't bathed for many days...

In this hot summer, if you don't take a bath, you will be covered in sweat, let alone Liu Qingluo who goes out and wanders around like this every day?

In her previous life, she couldn't move, and the nurse helped her bathe and wipe her body every day, but she herself forgot about taking a bath...

"Mother, mother—"

She couldn't take it anymore, put on her shoes and ran to Dushi's, and hugged her leg.

"What's wrong, are you having a nightmare? Don't be afraid, mother is here..." Mrs. Du was packing baskets, big and small, with Father Liu, when she saw the little girl running in a panic, and hugged her.

Liu Qingluo squeezed her face out of her chest, "No, mother, I want to take a bath!"

"What?"

"Niu Niu is going to stink, Niu Niu needs to take a bath!" Liu Qingluo put her clothes on Du Shi's nose and let her smell it.

Du said with a smile: "It used to be like killing you every time you took a bath. Why did you take the initiative to take a bath after being ill for a while? It's getting late today, and the sun will rise tomorrow. A bucket of water for you to wash, good boy!"

Thinking of her sour body, how could Liu Qingluo sleep?

She hugged Du Shi's leg tightly, "Mom, I'm going to wash it now, it stinks, it stinks!"
