The Dragon Boat Festival is over, and Qi Qingxi is planning to put the opening of the store on the agenda.

Adhering to the philosophy of knowing yourself and your enemy, she would take a few of her younger siblings out for dinner as soon as meal time came, and ate all the restaurants around her in just a few days.

After eating, Qi Yunhui shook his head and sighed: "Sister, when can we go home and cook?"

He was already tired of the food in restaurants, except of course the restaurant run by his elder sister.

"I've almost figured it out, and I'll be cooking and eating at home starting tomorrow."

Qi Yunhui cheered, then turned around and ran away.

Qi Qingxi couldn't help asking Qi Yunming what his younger brother was doing recently, and he couldn't see anyone all day long.

"I know, I know, my second brother has been going out with Lihua and her brother every day recently." Qi Nuan couldn't help jumping up and pouting, "Don't take me there yet."

Qi Yunming sighed intentionally: "In the past, Ah Nuan liked to follow the elder brother the most, but now she wants your second elder brother to take you out to play all day long. Sure enough, Ah Nuan doesn't like the elder brother anymore when she grows up."

Seeing this, Qi Nuan immediately grabbed her elder brother's hand and said coquettishly: "Where, I like elder brother's, and elder sister, I like both." She stretched out her other hand to hold Qi Qingxi.

Seeing that Qi Nuan looked so cute, Qi Qingxi couldn't help touching her little face.

She felt very happy that the children were no longer shy and afraid to speak like they used to be.

Qi Yunming went to the bookstore to copy books as usual, and Qi Qingxi took Ah Nuan to the shopkeeper Xu's house.

She knew that shopkeeper Xu's son was selected as a scholar, and she wanted to ask them to recommend a better school so that her two younger brothers could also study.

"I won't talk about the rest of the small private schools. Except for the county school, there is a school in the east of the city and a school in the west of the city, both of which are run by Mr. Juren. It's just that the one in the east of the city is farther away, but the one in the west of the city is stricter. It’s more difficult to get into school.”

Although shopkeeper Xu's daughter-in-law has never been to school, her son has also studied for so many years, so he is familiar with these things.

"What kind of difficult method is that? Please let Aunt Xu's family tell you." Qi Qingxi sincerely asked for advice.

"The school in the west of the city must memorize the three-character scriptures first, and if you can write the whole text silently, you will be assigned to a better class."

Speaking of the shopkeeper Xu's daughter-in-law, she couldn't help but sigh. Her son was at a disadvantage in the Chengdong School where no one taught him to write and endorse since he was a child.

"Are you still divided into...classes...?" She only knew that there were classes of various levels in school in her era, and it turned out that there were classes at this time.

"Yes, the highest class A is for the young talents of the examination. There are three classes B, C, and D in turn. Those who have just entered class are in D class, and those who can write some characters are assigned to C class."

It turned out to be the case.

Qi Yunming will definitely be able to enter Class C, but Qi Yunhui has never seen him write a word, so I don't know how good he is.

Qi Qingxi thanked the shopkeeper Xu's daughter-in-law and prepared to go home.

When passing by his store, he saw a man dressed as a servant hovering in front of the store.

"May I ask what's the matter?" Qi Qingxi stepped forward and asked.

Qi Qingxi now wears a hedge hat when she goes out, so others can't see her face clearly, the boy looked at Qi Nuan next to her and sized her up for a long time before speaking.

"Are you the girl who sold the snack boxes last time?"

"It's me." Qi Qingxi replied.

The little servant said happily: "I am asking you to go to the house to make snacks by the order of our master."

It turned out that the owner of this young man was one of the families who ordered Qi Qingxi's dim sum last time. After eating the dim sum last time, they were full of praise. It happened that this time the family had a banquet and thought of Qi Qingxi's dim sum.

"Our master is willing to offer you 20 taels of silver to make a snack, and the cost of ingredients will be calculated separately."

Qi Qingxi couldn't help raising her eyebrows, and she didn't want to tire herself anymore, but the other party gave too much.

The young man made an appointment with Qi Qingxi three days later and sent someone to pick her up, and before leaving, he paid a deposit of five taels of silver.

Qi Qingxi asked the young man that it was his old lady's birthday, so the master held a big banquet for the guests.

Since it was a birthday banquet, she decided to draw a few more patterns such as Furu Donghai Zhou Binanshan and go to the previous carpenter's shop to order some molds.

So she spent the whole afternoon drawing flowers, Qi Nuan looked at it all afternoon, and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Sister, how can you know everything."

Qi Qingxi kept moving her hands, and smiled back at her: "If you know everything, your sister is a fairy."

Qi Nuan murmured in a low voice: "But sister is good at everything, can cook, write and paint, and my brothers are going to school, but Ah Nuan can't do anything."

Qi Qingxi stopped writing and looked at Qi Nuan. The six-year-old girl had already attended primary school at her time, and her parents would send her to learn music, dance or painting if the conditions were acceptable.

It's just that the poor little girl was born in such an era that advocates that women's ignorance is virtue, and both parents have died, so they don't even have the opportunity to learn to read and write at home.

Qi Qingxi suddenly thought that she had the memory of her original body. Although the girl raised by the magistrate's family was not full of economics, she could read and write.

And even if she doesn't have the memories of her original body, she is still a serious college graduate, so it's no problem to teach a child.

"Ah Nuan, how about sister teaching you how to read and write?"

Qi Nuan's eyes were full of joy, and he nodded vigorously: "Okay."

It happened that she wanted to test the literacy level of the two brothers for the admission, so she wrote a three-character scripture silently first, which also happened to be used as a literacy textbook for Ah Nuan, killing two birds with one stone.

So as soon as the two brothers returned home, they were escorted by Qi Qingxi to silently write the Three Character Classic.

The books that Qi Yunming copies in the book shop are all poems and essays like "Great Learning" and "The Doctrine of the Mean". To him, the Three Character Classic is just a child's book.

It's just that for Qi Yunhui's sake, he grabbed the pen and wrote six characters crookedly and made a mistake.

For the first time, Qi Qingxi knew that people are not inherently good in nature, but beasts in nature.

She suddenly realized that Qi Yunhui had written the word "beast" wrong, because all the characters written in this era are traditional characters, so the correct way to write the word "beast" is to have the word "dog" on the right.

Qi Qingxi: ...

Qi Qingxi took a deep breath, and told himself that it was okay, this child is expected to be a general in the future, and it doesn't matter much about studying.

But she thought about it again, if a general in command of the three armies even spelled the word "beast" wrong...

Forget it, she didn't dare to think any more.

She turned her head to look at Qi Yunming: "Do you think it is possible for your younger brother to learn to write the full text of the Three Character Classic within three days?"

Qi Yunming pursed his lips and said nothing, Qi Qingxi understood in seconds.

"What about reciting?"

Qi Yunming nodded: "Recitation is still no problem."

His father died in a hurry, so he only had time to teach Yun Hui to recite the Three Character Classic. Yun Hui's crooked characters were taught by him in his spare time.

It's just that Yun Hui has never had much patience in reading and practicing calligraphy, and he only managed to teach a few words.

Qi Qingxi said "um", and if she can memorize it, at least she can pass the entrance threshold of the school, and then she can rely on her husband to take the trouble to teach her to write.
