Prince Marrys into Farming Family

When Song Dabao, who originally wanted to kill Song Xianfeng with his scheme, heard that there was money to be paid, he did not say anything further. He grinned widely, wanting to pat Song Xiangsi's head, but shamelessly complimented, "Hehe, my young lady is still the one who loves me."

Song Xiangsi frowned slightly and quietly dodged it. She laughed coldly in her heart. Just now, she was still claiming that she was an unfilial daughter who was paying money for her work.

Song Dabao was slightly annoyed that she had dodged him, but seeing the white silver in Song Xiangsi's hands, he still beamed. He took the silver and ran out to find a friend to drink.

When his figure disappeared from the courtyard, Song Xiangsi's expression also instantly collapsed. With a smirk, she walked out the door and closed it tightly with a "clang" before returning and calling her younger brother and sister over.

She called the two children over to her side and after asking them the whole story, she was secretly shocked. If it wasn't for Little Cheng and Song Dabao fighting back and forth today, she didn't know what else would have happened.

"Hmm, Cheng Cheng did well today. You have to do this in the future as well. You have to learn to protect girls and be a gentleman, understand?" Song Xiangsi patted Cheng's head with a smile.

Song Chengcheng tilted his head. Although he did not understand what Song Xiangsi meant by 'gentleman', he still vaguely knew that they were definitely people who were as courteous as a maester. He nodded his head and assured Song Xiangsi, "Alright, Big Sis, don't worry.

Song Xiangsi smiled, feeling a little worried. She could keep the money with her, but she could not bring these two siblings away anytime and anywhere when she went out to do business in the future.

Song Dabao's two men were like flies that couldn't be defended against. Their family's door had no reinforcement, so something would happen sooner or later.

It seemed that the matter of finding a private school for the two children must not be delayed any longer.

Thinking of this, Song Xiangsi pulled her brother and sister along as she smiled and said, "Do you want to go to the town and study with the teachers?"

Song Cheng's eyes lit up, but in the next moment, the glow on his face dimmed. He pursed his lips and shook his head. "Big sister, I'm not going."

Song Xiaoxiao was only a year older than him, but she wasn't as mature as he said. Although she wanted to go, she still shook her head. "Sister, I don't want to go either. I'll stay at home with Cheng and learn calligraphy from eldest sister."

Song Xiangsi frowned. She had seen the reactions of the two children just now, "Cheng, don't you want to study for the Imperial examinations? Do you want to be like the villagers and farm in the village?"

She felt that her younger brother and sister were all very smart. It was such a pity that they weren't properly nurtured.

Song Cheng's face contorted as he looked at Song Xiangsi. Shaking his head, he did not say anything.

"Do you have any other concerns?" Song Xiangsi guessed in her heart before asking, "If you have any concerns, you can say them. With Big Sis around, there's nothing that can't be resolved."

The child's thoughts were simple. Song Xiangsi's question made her unable to hold it in as she voiced her hesitation, "Big sister, there's no money in the family. Are you going to study?"

He heard from the villagers that going to the private school in the village was very expensive. The son of the village owner had to spend over a hundred taels of silver a year.

She sighed and looked at the two children seriously. She asked, "If Big Sis were to tell you guys that I'll send you guys to the private school now, all you need to do is lower the food level and you won't be able to eat any more meat in the future. Are you willing?"

The two little fellows looked at each other and nodded in agreement without a second thought. "I don't eat meat!"

What's there to be afraid of? Big sister already earned money, and in the future she will earn even more money, which will not only allow you to study in town, but also allow you to eat meat for every meal. Leave the money to me, you only need to remember one thing, and that is to read well for me, understand? Song Xiangsi promised them with a smile.

"Big Sis, is that true?" Song Cheng's round eyes stared at Song Xiangsi in disbelief.

Song Xiangsi looked at the child's face. Don't lie to me just for my sake. It was difficult for her to do so. She did not know whether to laugh or cry and rubbed the little guy's head, "Of course, big sister has never lied to you guys before."

The two children immediately cheered and jumped in joy. After making up her mind, Song Xiangsi did not dare to delay any longer. She returned to the house, pocketed all the silver, took the two children, locked the door and left for town.

Because the village was not far from the village, the three of them did not ride on the ox-cart. After half a day, the three siblings arrived at the village.

After asking around, the three of them went to the private school in the western part of the city. They heard that it was opened by an old High Scholar who had retired from the city.

At first, the old High Scholar only wanted to send a message to teach his disciples, but who knew that there were so many children in the town? Since the old High Scholar was too busy, he had no choice but to start charging fees to control the number of people.

Of course, if one wanted to come here to school, not only did they need money, but they also needed the good fortune of an old man.

Song Xiangsi brought his siblings to seek an audience. The three siblings were very polite and considerate throughout the entire journey. They treated the old man with enough respect.

Of course, it was not enough just to be a disciple of Teacher Wang, but also to have talent. Teacher Wang first tested a few poems, and at first Song Xiangsi was a little worried because her brother and sister had never been to school, afraid that they would not be able to answer.

Unexpectedly, the things that the teacher had mentioned had all been randomly taught by her. Song Xiangsi heaved a sigh of relief.

The two children were also very excited and answered obediently, causing the teacher to be surprised. He did not think that the two kids from the village would be able to answer him, but he did not expect that the two children were even more powerful than the disciples he had taught himself.

He stroked his grizzled beard and smilingly looked at the two children as he asked, "Have you learned these poems before?"

Song Cheng obediently complied, and with a hint of pride in his tone, he said, "Mhmm, my big sis has already taught us."

"Oh? Your big sister? " Teacher Wang was even more surprised. His gaze shifted to Song Xiangsi before he started to look at her. From the very beginning, he had been silently waiting on the side.

The teacher nodded. His aged eyes flashed with admiration as he smiled and asked, "Little girl, do you know how to read?"

Song Xiangsi laughed heartily, "I've let you down. My father was an Elementary Scholar, and I have heard of him since I was young. I understand him a little."

Teacher Wang nodded his head. It turned out to be a scholar's family. Seeing the two children's happiness, he waved his hand to keep them.
