Liangyue Farm Gate

Chapter 651
After busying with the return ceremony, a month has passed.

In the past month, Li Xin has not been free for a moment. He has to take care of the affairs at home and outside of the house. Finally, he has settled down the affairs of socializing with outsiders. Now he has to consider the matter of raising his son to school.

What's more, with the coming of spring, Li Xin had to discuss with Guan Wen about spring plowing, so the fields in the village couldn't be left empty.

Moving to the town this time, Li Xin naturally wanted to find a more formal school for Yang'er.There are not no big families that can afford a good gentleman, and most of those kind of gentlemen come from big families. They have a deeper view on poetry interpretation and political criticism, and of course the professor's views are more orthodox.

Yang'er's enlightenment started with Mr. Fu, and his education is naturally solid.If you want to learn more, it is extremely important to find a good teacher.

It's just that Yang'er likes to study medicine, so I'm afraid he is not very enthusiastic about studying.Furthermore, most of the schools run by the big family are for the education of the children in the family, and the students who are attached to the school are only for the benefit of the husband, and it is even more important for the students in the family to have a sense of urgency, knowing that there are outstanding students outside to compete with them.

In some respects, foreign students may be marginalized or even bullied.

This is what Li Xin absolutely does not want to see.What she was hesitant about was also in this place.

Guan Wen also took the matter of Yang'er's attached school to heart, and while he was busy with business, he asked his friends in the mall.I really asked him a few.

When I came back and talked to Li Xin, Li Xin pondered for a moment and said: "I don't want people with big families. I should look for those with medium-large families. The population will not be too large, and the pressure will not be too great."

Guan Wen nodded: "I think the Wen family is not bad. They are a scholarly family, but they fell into decline later, but the whole family is a student. I heard people say that the whole family is a man of etiquette, and they have the arrogance of a scholar. , and will not give outsiders casual winks. The master who teaches at home is their own child, and his temperament is also gentle, and he will wait for the next year's government examination to obtain the name of Juren."

Li Xin listened carefully to what Guan Wen had said about the Wen family, and felt that the Wen family in Hui County was a relatively low-key family. Expensive, very respectful.

In Li Xin's heart, he agreed with Wen's family, and asked Guan Wen to ask Wen's family to see if they still wanted to accept students.She called Yang'er over and told him these things in detail.

Yang'er has grown up, and Li Xin is slowly teaching him many ways of life.It may be that during this period of time, he visited Li Xin everywhere to return greetings, and he has gained a lot of knowledge, and his words and conversations have become a little better, which made Guan Wen say that he is already a young adult.

After listening to Li Xin's words, Yang'er nodded and said, "Mother, I think Wen's family is pretty good. If they want to accept students, let dad take me to have a look."

Yang'er's implication was that he wanted to see if the Wen family had a temper for him.

After arriving in the town, Yang'er came and went to An He Tang more and more, Li Xin didn't stop her, and ordered someone to follow her, and let him go.The two servants beside him, one called Tingjiu and the other called Shenhu, were both eleven or twelve years old, and they had been by his side all the time, so they were two more playmates.

Guan Wen got the news very quickly, and informed Li Xin the next day that the Wen family still planned to accept two students, and Yang'er could just make up for this gap.

So Guan Wen took Yang'er to Wen's house for a walk, Yang'er was very happy when he came back, and after pestering Li Xin for a while, he went to see Yoyo.Guan Wenxiao said to Li Xin: "He is very satisfied with the Wen family. The young master of the Wen family is about the same age as him, and the two of them played together within a short while."

Li Xin breathed a sigh of relief.

Yang'er is a generous child, Li Xin is very pleased to be able to make friends as soon as he goes there.

So it was decided to let Yang'er go to Wen's family to study.The next day Li Xin prepared gifts and took Yang'er to Wen's house on a special trip. Mrs. Wen's words were gentle. Although the family seemed a bit rigid, the [-]-year-old gentleman was quite knowledgeable. Li Xin solemnly entrusted Yang'er to the Wen family to teach him.

After another matter was resolved, Li Xin finally relaxed, and teased the fatter Yoyo in his arms.

It has been eight or nine months since Yoyo, and she started to learn to speak babblingly, and she can still be supported to stand up by herself. Once she is supported to stand up, she is very excited, a pair of round eyes are bent, looking at It's not good to be liked.

Yoyo especially likes to laugh and rarely makes noises. Even though Li Xin has been busy for a month and has less contact with her, Yoyo seems to still remember Li Xin. Reaching out to Li Xin, looking at her eyes are full of attachment.

But facing Guan Wen, Yoyo seems to know that her father dotes on her, she likes to pull Guan Wen's hair, pinch Guan Wen's face, and smear all the saliva on Guan Wen's face.Guan Wen was never annoyed, and even felt that his daughter was so close to him, so he was very happy to let Yoyo do whatever he wanted.

Yoyo has no nanny, and has been breastfed by Li Xin since she was born. Later, she took supplementary food, and did not find an older mother to take care of her. Qing Ya and Guo Zi took turns to take care of her, or Li Xin hugged her to accompany her play.

Guan Wen mentioned this question to Li Xin, Li Xin shook his head and said, "If you find a nanny, why don't you kiss me or not?"

Guan Wen was a little hesitant: "I think it's the same in other families."

Li Xin said: "The other family is another family, and we can follow the example of other families to draw gourds. This raised child can't follow the example of other families and throw them to the nuns and nurses. Our own children should be raised by ourselves, so as not to lose our temper."

Guan Wen thinks about it too. In the past, when the family didn't have enough food and clothing, they could raise their children to adults. Now that they don't have to worry about food and drink, they can't raise their children anymore?
After listening to what Li Xin said, he still let Li Xin take Yoyo with him.

Guan Wen just said distressedly: "It's hard for you, raising children is always hard."

Li Xin shook his head and said with a smile, "It's not hard work, I enjoy it."

Li Xin was really enjoying it. She thought that she would never have such a chance in her whole life. She never thought that God would give her Yoyo, a gift that she cherished so much.How could she be bored?

"That's right." Guan Wen paused and said, "Third Uncle came to see me today, and he paid me back 20 taels of silver."

Li Xin was laughing and teasing Youyou to talk, when she heard Guan Wen's words, she was surprised for a moment, where did Guan Wen come from, and realized that it was her third uncle, Li Houshu.

Yoyo tilted her head to look at Guan Wen, and looked curiously at the place where the voice came from.

Guan Wen smiled wryly and said: "The third uncle cried poor with me, and said that he could only pay me back 20 taels. He said that my family has a big business, so he would definitely not care about 30 taels of silver with him. What about your cousin getting married? Yes, my cousin-in-law should also do his best... Anyway, in the final analysis, I don’t want to pay back all the money.”

Seeing Guan Wen's expression, Li Xin guessed the follow-up of the matter: "Then you took the money and told him to forget about the debt?"

Guan Wenyan smiled, but still nodded: "One more thing is worse than one less thing. My father-in-law told me about this in private, and I don't want to make it difficult for my father-in-law. At least it's my father-in-law's brother, your uncle."

Li Xin pouted: "No matter how rich you are, you can't stand being exploited by these white-eyed wolf relatives. If you look at my father and my face, then you really can't take care of these relatives."

Guan Wen laughed and said, "That's your relative too."

Li Xin said displeased: "Then you say that, do you think that my family has too many poor relatives? This is all recruited from me."

"How can it be..." Guan Wen hurriedly said: "What does this have to do with you? I make up my own mind about everything outside. Today's matter can be regarded as my first decision before I play it. It's because I didn't greet you first."

Li Xin knew that he was a little unreasonable, seeing that Guan Wen was still apologizing to her, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Okay, you can find the IOU by yourself later and return it to third uncle."

After a pause, Li Xin continued: "Let's deal with him less in the future, we don't know what's going on in his family."

Guan Wen nodded: "I know."

Youyou looked at Li Xin and then at Guan Wen, seeing that there was no voice to speak, she lowered her head again, babbling, she didn't know what to say.Guan Wen was in great interest, clapped his hands to attract Yoyo, stretched out his hand and said, "Youyo, come to Daddy."

Youyou looked at Guan Wen for a while, then suddenly smiled, then, as if shy, she put her little head into Li Xin's arms, and turned her head coquettishly.

Guan Wen likes Yoyo's cute appearance so much that he wants to hug her.

Li Xin hurriedly stopped her: "She is going to sleep, so don't tease her."

Sure enough, Li Xin hugged and patted Yoyo, and after a while, Yoyo closed her eyes and fell asleep on Li Xin's back.

With a daughter in the family, Guan Wen and Li Xin have everything they need.

After Li Xin came to the town, his range of contacts became wider. Since he came into contact with the wives of several houses, he came and went, and he really met several wives. One day, one of the wives asked Li Xin to go to her house to play. Let the horse hang.

Li Xin was invited to leave, but she didn't compete to play poker because of the occasion.After all, in this kind of card game, if you win a lot, others will look bad, especially the losers.But she wouldn't be happy if she lost a lot.So she couldn't refuse.

Seeing the four wives sitting, she just sat down next to that lady and said with a smile: "I have heard of the horse hanging many times, but this is the first time I have seen this card."

The wife laughed and said, "It was just passed down from the coast. I don't know how those people came up with this trick. There is nothing else, only the swastika, the pancakes, the bars and the wind."

Li Xin said with a smile: "I know that."

"Oh?" The lady said with interest, "You want to hear it?"

Li Xin laughed and said: "This is a game that those soldiers who went to sea came up with when they were bored on the ship. Gold and silver are needed for sea trade, so there are 1 to [-]; when sailing at sea, they can only bring dry food, which is mostly made of Good dry biscuits, so there is one loaf, two loaves and three loaves; but you can’t just eat bread on the boat, they fish when they have nothing to do, so there is one fish, two fish and three fish... The wind, isn’t it blowing on the sea? Is it wind? So there is east wind, west wind, south wind and north wind.”

As soon as Li Xin finished speaking, the four wives and the maids in the hall all laughed and said that Li Xin knew a lot and had a wide range of insights.

Just smiling, a servant girl hurried in at the door, and said to the lady who was treating guests: "Madam, Aunt Xue's family is here as a guest."
