After becoming a widow, I became the mother of seven children

Schools in the county town require serious training, unlike schools in towns or villages where you can pay with food or other things.

But if you go there for the first time, you still need to prepare for the apprenticeship ceremony.

Yan Qingqing also inquired about it. Most of the apprenticeship ceremonies in this era consisted of a knife of meat and some snacks.

Of course, many wealthy families gave their wives the Four Treasures of the Study. Although Yan Qingqing had some spare money, she did not intend to take advantage of them.

She thought it would be good to just prepare according to normal standards.

Since we planned to send Li Xiangkang to study, we naturally had to implement it as soon as possible.

Yan Qingqing thought for a while and said, "I plan to take Shiro to Xifeng Academy tomorrow."

After hearing this, Li Xiangan said, "Mom, you are inconvenient, why don't I take Shiro with me when I go to the county town to deliver goods tomorrow."

Yan Qingqing said early: "Being a disciple is, after all, a big deal. You have to be followed by an adult no matter what. You are still a child yourself.

I'd better go there myself and help Shiro choose some of the Four Treasures of the Study. "

Li Xiangan sighed when he heard this. He would be 14 years old soon, and now only his mother would treat him as a child. But he felt so happy.

Li Xiangkang also wanted Yan Qingqing to send him there. After all, at his age, he was at the height of his admiration.

Li Xiang'an couldn't see Li Xiangkang's slimy look, so he poured cold water on him and said: "The academy has to take exams to admit students. Mom is very thoughtful. Don't let it be embarrassing if Shiro fails to live up to his expectations and the academy doesn't want you."

When Li Xiangkang heard this, he immediately bared his teeth at Li Xiangan and said, "I'm not as stupid as my eldest brother. Master will not want me."

Li Xiangping:......

He was provoking someone, why was he shot while he was lying down?

Yan Qingqing knocked on Li Xiangkang's forehead and said, "Why are you talking? I have no respect for your elder brother at all."

Li Xiangkang stuck out his tongue. He just relied on his eldest brother to pamper him. He wouldn't dare to do it if it was his second brother or third brother, because these two would really beat him.

The next day Yan Qingqing got up early, put on the clothes Yuan Huiniang had made for her, and put her hair into an exquisite bun, thinking that it would not be rude.

Yan Qingqing walked out of the room, and Li Xiangkang and others were already waiting.

Yan Qingqing rarely tidies herself up like this. She really looks like a noble lady with such an order, but she is missing some gold and silver jewelry.

Yuan Huiniang was stunned. She knew that her mother-in-law was not bad looking.

She didn't pay attention to it at ordinary times, but she felt that her mother-in-law's skin had gotten better and better since she was pregnant. Look at her face without makeup, it was crystal clear, not even a spot.

And with such a grandeur all over her body, those who don’t know would really think she is a lady from some family.

When Yan Qingqing saw several children looking at her without blinking, she touched her face uncomfortably. She didn't even put on makeup. What were the expressions of these naughty children?

Yuan Huiniang was the first to react and said with a smile: "Mom, you look too young and good-looking. For those who don't know, I would think you are in your 20s.

Also, my mother's whole body is like that of a lady from a wealthy family. I stand next to my mother like a maid. "

Yuan Huiniang's words made Yan Qingqing laugh completely. Although Yuan Huiniang was flattering, it was not easy for someone to finally praise her for being young.

Li Xiangkang looked at Yuan Huiniang enviously. Let's see who dares to say that he is a flatterer in front of his mother. His sister-in-law is obviously much better than him.

He kept saying these few words over and over again: "Mother is so good, mother is so awesome." Then look at my sister-in-law, she was really praising her to the bottom of her heart.

At this moment, Li Xiangkang decided that he would study hard when he went to the academy and use all the beautiful words he could use about his mother.

Yan Qingqing thought that there were still many things to do today, so she waved her hand and said, "Okay, it's getting late, let's go quickly."

When they arrived at the county seat, Yan Qingqing asked Li Xiangan to cut two kilograms of meat first, and then went to the pastry shop to buy two kilograms of pastries. Coupled with the home-made flip red, this gift is not too thin.

Li Xiangan left Yan Qingqing and Li Xiangkang at the entrance of the academy and went to the restaurant to deliver the goods. He would pick them up after the goods were delivered.

Li Xiangkang carried his things into Xifeng Academy with Yan Qingqing.

Xifeng Academy is located in the south of the city. There are relatively few residents here, but it has an elegant environment and a large maple forest around it. It is a good place for tourists to go on an outing.

It seems that the founder of Xifeng Academy is somewhat powerful, otherwise it would not be possible to open the academy here.

When they entered the gate of Xifeng Academy, there were two ladies who were guarding the gate. They were cleaning the house. After seeing Yan Qingqing, they walked up enthusiastically and asked, "Are you sending your children to study here?"

Yan Qingqing nodded and replied: "Yes, I would like to send my Shiro to study. I would like to trouble my aunt to recommend a wife from the academy."

Seeing that Yan Qingqing was so polite, the old woman said even more enthusiastically: "Okay, we have a special master here, I will take you there right now."

This Xifeng Academy is quite big. Yan Qingqing and the others turned several corners before arriving at a school.

Several waves of people walked out of it, and it seemed they were all signing up for their children.

Yan Qingqing thought about who said Xifeng Academy had few people. Look, there are quite a lot of people signing up.

Soon Yan Qingqing saw his master, a middle-aged man, about 40 years old, with a long beard.

Wearing a gray robe and an upright face, he looked like a scholar.

After seeing Yan Qingqing and the others, he showed a kind smile.

Yan Qingqing glanced at Li Xiangkang, and Li Xiangkang quickly bent down and saluted: "Student Li Xiangkang from Canghe Village has come to study."

The master smiled after hearing this and said: "What a good boy, you can tell he is smart at first glance. How old are you today?"

Li Xiangkang replied truthfully: "Master, I will be seven years old soon. I don't know how to honor my master?"

The master pondered for a while and said: "My surname is Lin, you can call me Master Lin. I entered school at the age of seven. Although it is a little late, it is not too late.

Have you ever read any books at home? "

Li Xiangkang still answered truthfully: "The student comes from a poor family and has never read."

Master Lin did not intend to embarrass Li Xiangkang. There were many students in their college who had no basic knowledge. At worst, he could be assigned to a basic class. As long as he was not naive or stupid, his college would also accept him.

But after Master Lin asked Li Xiangkang a few questions and saw that he answered them fluently, he also asked a few more difficult questions, and Li Xiangkang was still able to answer them.

This surprised Master Lin. Didn't this kid say he had never read a book? It didn't look like this.

Yan Qingqing has been silent since entering Xifeng Academy. She wanted to leave this opportunity to Li Xiangkang. Seeing the child talking freely, Yan Qingqing felt that this child was really a talent.

However, seeing Mrs. Lin's suspicious eyes, she still opened her mouth to explain: "My Shiro really hasn't read any books. I just occasionally teach him a few words when my family members are free."

Master Lin nodded after hearing this. It was hard to find a student who was both smart and attentive, so he immediately admitted Li Xiangkang.
