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

Yan Qingqing was very happy that Li Xiangkang was recognized by his master, and immediately handed the apprenticeship ceremony to Master Lin.

Master Lin saw that Yan Qingqing had two more kilograms of red noodles in addition to meat and pastries. This stuff was not cheap. He had eaten it once or twice occasionally. It was indeed delicious, but he had limited monthly money and could not eat it often.

Master Lin said with some embarrassment: "How can you be so embarrassed about such a precious thing?"

Yan Qingqing smiled and said: "This is our sincere wish, please accept it from Master Lin. From now on, this child will be looked after in the academy."

Master Lin immediately said that Li Xiangkang was a smart child and he would definitely take more care of him.

Seeing that everything was done, Yan Qingqing paid Shu Xiu another two taels of silver before leaving with Li Xiangkang.

Just after leaving the door of Xifeng Academy, Li Xiangkang asked in a low voice: "Mom, why didn't you tell Mrs. Lin that this flip red was made by our family?"

Yan Qingqing glanced at him and said with a smile: "Master didn't even ask."

Li Xiangkang muttered softly: "That's true."

This silly kid is still too young. If he really wants to say it, how can he show his sincerity?

Li Xiangkang asked in a low voice: "Mom, how did I perform at Master's side just now?"

Yan Qingqing pinched his little face and said, "Okay, let's see how good you are. How many times did you practice at home yesterday?"

Upon hearing this, Li Xiangkang replied with a smile: "That's not what my mother said about not fighting an unprepared battle. Aren't I afraid of being nervous?"

Li Xiangkang practiced the words he just said yesterday with several brothers and sisters, so today it went particularly smoothly.

Not long after they waited at the entrance of Xifeng Academy, Li Xiangan drove an ox cart to pick them up, with a satisfied smile on his face.

As soon as Yan Qingqing and others got in the car, Li Xiangan said: "Today, shopkeepers Xue and Wang told me that such a small amount of goods is not enough to sell. If they continue like this, they will offend old customers."

After hearing this, Yan Qingqing asked: "Then what do you think of this matter?"

Li Xiangan replied: "They have attracted so many customers by using the flipping red provided by our family. It would not be unusual if everyone came. This is what my mother often calls hunger marketing."

I told them that even if the amount needs to be increased in the future, it won’t be a lot. "

Yan Qingqing nodded after hearing this. Although she promised shopkeeper Xue to increase the amount for them after the Mid-Autumn Festival, she would never add too much because Yan Qingqing had her own plans for the brine.

Currently, there are three restaurants in the county selling their flip red, with a stable supply of about 150 kilograms, so Yan Qingqing's family has a fixed income of four to five taels of silver every day.

And their flip reds are often sold out as soon as they are delivered to the restaurant.

Many people who are hungry for this food need to make reservations with the restaurant in advance.

In addition, Yan Qingqing and the others also take some loose orders from time to time, so the family still has an income of 200 taels of silver per month.

Now that she's a month old, she doesn't plan to make any big moves before giving birth.

The three ladies were chatting while driving the bullock cart. Because Li Xiangkang was admitted to Xifeng Academy, they went straight to Mobaozhai.

According to Yan Qingqing's understanding, Mobaozhai is the largest Four Treasures of the Study shop in Chengyang County. It contains not only the Four Treasures of the Study but also various kinds of books.

As soon as Yan Qingqing and the others entered the store, a young man greeted them enthusiastically. He looked at Yan Qingqing and the others and said with a smile, "Madam, sir, please come in and see what you need. I can give you a detailed introduction."

Yan Qingqing really didn't know much about these Four Treasures of the Study, so he said: "My son will go to the academy to study in the autumn. You can choose a few things for me as a beginner."

The young man nodded and then led Yan Qingqing and the others to an area and said, "Young master, you don't need to use this paper and inkstone when you have just entered school. It's just that this one needs to be used better, which will help the young master practice his beautiful skills in the future." Character."

Yan Qingqing nodded, feeling that the young man was right, and although their family had some spare money now, it was not enough to buy a good inkstone.

Finally, on the recommendation of the boy, Yan Qingqing chose an inkstone, an inkstone, a knife of ordinary paper, a stack of rice paper, and two langhao brushes. These things cost Yan Qingqing nearly five taels of silver.

The main reason is that the Fang Inkstone is expensive, and it is said to be Yishui Inkstone. Yan Qingqing doesn't know much about these, but it looks really good.

Yan Qingqing took a deep breath and thought, no wonder most people these days can't afford to study. If they don't have some family background, they really can't afford to study.

Look, Li Xiangkang has already spent seven or eight taels of silver before he even enters school. The expenses in the future will be huge.

Yan Qingqing, who just thought she was doing well, suddenly became motivated again. She had to hurry up and make money, otherwise she really couldn't afford it.

The young man was also a good person. Seeing that Yan Qingqing and the others bought a lot, he explained the situation to the shopkeeper and gave them a handwritten Three-Character Sutra.

They left the door of Mo Baozhai to see that it was still early. Yan Qingqing turned into the pastry shop and brought some pastries and snacks to the children.

Yan Qingqing has formed a habit. No matter whether she has money or not, as long as she comes to the city, she will definitely bring something back to her children.

When Yan Qingqing and the others returned home, Mr. Li was actually waiting.

Yan Qingqing was heartbroken. The old man knew that Li Xiangkang was going to register for the school today and wanted to come and see what was going on.

Li Xiangan went to unload the cattle cart, and Li Xiangkang held the Four Treasures of the Study in his arms and shouted politely: "Grandpa."

Mr. Li exclaimed and almost burst into tears. He saw what was in Li Xiangkang's arms and knew the result without asking.

Li Daniu was completely ruined. He didn't expect that the old Li family would have another scholar, and he didn't know if he would be able to see his grandson become famous in his lifetime.

He couldn't help but think of what the fortune teller said back then, that the family would have lucky stars shining in all directions, and wealth would come from all directions. Put yourself in the place of death and live again, clear the clouds and mist and see the moonlight.

This was the hexagram that the fortune teller gave him back then, saying that his family had a lucky star and it would be a matter of time before he changed the hall.

People are always obsessed with good things. Over the years, he has always thought that the lucky star is Li Daniu, so the whole family has tried to send him to study. Over the years, he has been wrong, mistaking fish eyes for pearls. .

Now it seems that this lucky star is obviously his little grandson. The more Mr. Li looks at it, the more he feels that Li Xiangkang has the air of a scholar. Look at where this child goes, it is really his nose that is his nose and his eyes that are his eyes.

It has to be said that if a person is immersed in his own world, no one can wake him up.

Although Yan Qingqing knew something about Mr. Li's thoughts, she didn't understand how he could still be so excited at his age, so he shook his head and entered his room.

Mr. Li who looked excited and Li Xiangkang who looked confused were left behind.

Li Xiangkang reacted belatedly and looked at his mother for help, but Yan Qingqing only gave him a back view.
