The Imperial Examination Blessed Wife in the Palm

Chapter 18 Women's School
When Lu Weiwei got up the next day, one of Li Chengdong and Li Chang went to their own shop, and the other went to school. Both father and son were no longer at home.

But to Lu Weiwei's surprise, Li Yue also went to school.

When she followed Mrs. Li into the main room, she happened to hear Aunt Li who was serving porridge saying: "Come back early after school is over in the afternoon. Your little brother Xiaowei rarely comes, and he is sick again. As a sister, you should It's good to accompany her and make her happy."

Li Yue replied with a cute face: "Don't worry, mother, I will come back immediately after school. I will go to school for another day tomorrow, and I will take a rest the day after tomorrow. My eldest brother and I have a whole day to spend with little brother Xiaowei." Playing."

Lu Weiwei couldn't bear it anymore and said, "Auntie, is Sister Ah Yue going to school too? Why don't I know?"

Can girls go to school now?What kind of dynasty is this?
Aunt Li smiled and said: "Yes, your sister Ayue is going to school now, and she has only been in the girls' school in the county for a few months. What your elder brother means is not that she must learn well. In the same way, as long as you can read and write, you will be able to settle accounts in the future. It is enough to open your eyes and learn to have high eyebrows and low eyes. I remember talking about this with my sister before, and my sister thought it was very good. Is it possible? Didn't my sister tell Xiaowei?"

The latter words were addressed to Mrs. Li.

Li smiled and said: "Of course I said it, but now it seems that she must have forgotten it a long time ago, and she has a good memory every day."

Lu Weiwei smiled hurriedly: "Didn't I not remember it for a while? Sister Ah Yue, then what you learn in school must be very interesting?"

After all, Li Yue was only eight years old, and she immediately grimaced, "It's no wonder, every day I learn to read, write, abacus, and do needlework. I'm going to be late, and if I'm late, the master will say something, I'll go first, little brother Xiaowei, and I'll talk to you when I get back from school."

After greeting Grandma Wu, Aunt Li and Mrs. Li, she ran out like a gust of wind.

Aunt Li hurriedly chased to the door and shouted: "Slow down, you will be a big girl in two years, what does she look like in a hurry... Remember to come back after school..."

After Li Yue's voice was no longer heard, he went back to the main room and sat down at the table, reached out and took an egg and asked Lu Weiwei, "Xiaowei, do you peel it yourself, or will your aunt peel it for you?"

Lu Weiwei couldn't be in the mood to eat eggs right now, so she picked it up, "Thank you, auntie, I'll peel it myself."

As he fumbled around, he asked Aunt Li like a cannonball, "Auntie, are sister Ayue's schools all female students? Anyone can enter, or do they have any conditions? The adults in the government took the lead in organizing it." Yes, or is it privately run? The tuition...is Shu Xiu expensive?"

Aunt Li was dizzy when she heard that, "Xiao Wei, you asked me so many questions at once, and I don't know which one to answer you first. What are you pretending to do in your little brain? Why are there so many questions all of a sudden?" gone?"

Mrs. Li said angrily: "Okay Xiaowei, what are you doing asking these things, let your aunt eat with peace of mind first, she got up early in the morning and has been busy until now, and she even cooked old hen soup for you, what do you think? Are you not tired or hungry?"

On the other hand, Grandma Wu smiled and said: "Don't talk about my aunt, grandma, children are like this in every family. They ask endless questions all day long. It is precisely because they are young that they don't know anything and want to know. That's why they ask." .”

Then he looked at Lu Weiwei, "Brother, grandma told you that your sister Ah Yue's school is indeed full of female students. It was run by the elders of the county. In the early years, there were many talents. I heard that there were two or three hundred. Now It’s no good, only thirty or fifty. It is said that as long as the net worth is good, they can send their daughters to study, but Shu Xiu, who has to spend hundreds of dollars a month, how many people’s sons can’t bear that money, let alone daughters? They are rich, but they can afford a husband, so why let their daughter show their faces every day? Gradually, few people send their daughters away."

"Thanks to your good fortune, Sister Ayue, to have a father who is as capable as your uncle and loves his daughter. I have only been studying for a few months. I see that it is quite different from before. Maybe your uncle and aunt's family will be able to do so in the future." Come out with a female gentleman, a female champion, and honor your ancestors!"

Aunt Li hurriedly laughed and said, "Mother, don't say that, listen carefully and make a joke. We don't expect Ah Yue to learn anything, but we just hope that she will learn more now, and that she will be able to do well in the future." More, it’s better to walk. Mother, let’s eat another egg...Xiao Wei, you eat first, and my aunt will explain it to you later. Eggs become fishy when they are cold, and fish porridge is not good when it is cold. gone."

Lu Weiwei's tone became visibly sour after hearing what Grandma Wu said, and seeing Aunt Li's forced smile, she reckoned there was an article in it.

So she obediently responded to Aunt Li: "Good aunt, I will eat first, and my aunt will eat too, and so will my mother and grandma."

No more.

But she was thinking in her heart, seeing how contemptuous the girls were by Wang Pandi of the Cao family and the people in Lujia Village, and that a life was not worth a hundred and ten cash for medical expenses. She thought this was the case in this world generally, Exceptions are also few.

Don't want to look at it now, it's not the same thing?

She has seen with her own eyes how uncles and aunts love their daughters, and there are many people who don't want to love their daughters like them. There are even special girls' schools in the county. Even though it is obviously going downhill, at least it has started If there is a single spark, then one day, it will be able to start a prairie fire!

The haze that had lingered deep in Lu Weiwei's heart for several days finally dissipated most of it.

After breakfast, Grandma Wu wanted to go home, "I've been out for so many days, I really can't worry about my home, so I'll go back today, my aunt and brother will stay for a while, and go to our house when you have free time." .”

Mrs. Li still smiled and wanted to keep her, "Auntie, please stay for two more days, you have been troubled for so many days, so that my sister-in-law and I can honor you for two more days."

Aunt Li said: "The family is also busy, so my sister shouldn't keep my mother. It's the same when I pick up my mother after a while. Mother, I'll see you off."

He took Grandma Wu out of the main room, packed a bag of things, and sent her out.

Only then did Lu Weiwei ask Li in a low voice: "Mother, is the grandma of the Wu family unhappy? Auntie seems to be unhappy too. Is it because of Sister Ayue's going to school?"

When Mrs. Li heard this, she tapped her forehead, "You ghost, you can read people's faces. Your Wu family's grandma said before that what's the use of going to school for a daughter's house, anyway, it will be cheaper for other people's house in the future Yes, let your aunt tell your uncle that it is better to give the money to her second and third grandsons to study. Their family has a lot of land and less land, and they can only afford the education of the elder grandson who lives in the eldest house. The second and third grandsons are very unhappy about this. .”

"Your aunt loves your sister Ayue, of course she is not happy, she has already directly rejected your Wu family grandma, who knows that she said those plain words just now, your aunt naturally doesn't want to keep her anymore. Anyway, don't bother you later Aunt, it's not easy for her..."
