New widow

"It's a joke for a mother to do what you do." Uncle Liu sneered, and Aunt Liu sighed again: "There is no way, there is no way. I owe her this, so this is the only way to repay her."

"It's better that you go to Mrs. Kuang's house and ask her where her husband and wife have gone." Uncle Liu rolled his eyes and came up with another idea. Aunt Liu waved her hands: "How dare I ask, now Mrs. Kuang found my son's place for me. If I ask and get kicked out, what will happen?"

Seeing that Aunt Liu didn't look like she could get things done, Uncle Liu couldn't help but snort, and heard someone laughing and saying: "Why, if you want to find our wife, you also need to ask if you can see our wife." noodle."

The speaker was Mrs. Du. When Mrs. Liu saw Mrs. Du, she was like a mouse meeting a cat. She said to Mrs. Du: "How dare you? I want to see Mrs. Kuang, but I can't fall in love with her in my heart."

"We ladies dare not accept your love!" Mrs. Du sneered, and Aunt Liu's expression suddenly became a little embarrassed.

When Sanshu Liu saw Mrs. Du, he frowned more and more: "What are you talking about here? This is not the place for you, Mrs. Kuang."

"I'm just passing by." Du said happily: "Our lady said that we are bored at home and want to find some girls. We will spend an hour every day and teach them needlework. If we have free time, , I also need to teach them a few words and some accounting skills. I’m thinking about sending my daughter there too.”

"Girls in the village can't learn how to do needlework as a female worker, let alone settle accounts. This is something only men can do." Uncle Liu's beard was so angry that he raised his beard. Mrs. Du did not feel dissatisfied: "We ladies are doing it anyway." I am idle when I am idle, and it is not difficult to teach a few people.”

After saying that, Du Shi ran away quickly. Uncle Liu couldn't help but spit at Du Shi's back: "Bah, I've never heard of letting daughters learn these things at home. For girls in the village, it's good if they can know some female workers, and they also learn to calculate accounts. Also learn to pronounce a few words.”

Aunt Liu groaned, but did not speak. Uncle Liu said to Aunt Liu again: "Did you hear what I said to you? It is natural and right for you to do this."

"I know." Aunt Liu only dared to say this, but she didn't dare to do it. Uncle Liu couldn't help but flicked his sleeves: "I know you don't dare to do it, you are really a coward."

Aunt Liu didn't say anything else, she just shuffled towards the place where she lived. As soon as she reached the door of the yard, she saw Mrs. Li Zheng standing there. When she saw Aunt Liu coming, Mrs. Li Zheng wanted to drag her in: "You Where have you gone? How could you not see me and you are gone?"

"I just went out for a while. Who knows, who knows that my daughter and son-in-law have left." Aunt Liu spoke with tears in her eyes. Madam Li Zheng snorted from her nose: "You are aware of the things you did. There’s no need to cry or cry.”

"Then my future days..." Aunt Liu said it was for her own retirement. Mrs. Li Zheng looked at Aunt Liu and said in a deep voice, "Are you feeling sad now?"

"I, I can't live here forever." Aunt Liu looked at her for a while, and then Mrs. Li Zheng said to Aunt Liu: "Well, let me tell you, when your daughter left, she once came to my place and begged me. Taking care of you is one, and the other is that she also asked Madam Kuang, and Madam Kuang will naturally take care of you."

"Really?" Aunt Liu was overjoyed when she heard these words. Lady Li Zheng sneered: "Do you think everyone is like you and only want to sell your daughter? Your daughter is better than you."

If she had a gun and a stick, Mrs. Liu didn't dare to go back. She just thanked Mrs. Li Zheng and went back to her hut. Although the hut was small, it could still protect her from the wind and rain at this time, which was better than having to live there. Ruined temple.

"Sister, why do you say that the people who come here mainly learn to calculate accounts and are female workers?" Zhou Le looked at the list that was sent to him and asked with a frown. Naturally, the people here are usually not short of food and clothing at home, but that Dianqian is also a family that sends boys to school.

"If we let them know that our school is mainly for teaching girls to study, they might not come." Su Qiao said calmly, and Zhou Le frowned: "But, study to understand the truth."

"This is what you said when you were the daughter of the Shenzhai Courtyard." Su Qiao only said this, and Zhou Le's face turned slightly red: "It's not what you said when you were the daughter of the daughter. I originally thought that everyone wanted to study."

The Zhou family's scholarly reputation was passed down throughout the family. Not to mention the young masters and young ladies in the family, all the maids and servants who served personally had to read some books. Even if they couldn't speak it in a coherent manner, they still had to be able to read Zhou Zheng.

"This is in the village. The villagers send their boys to study. The idea is not to take the imperial examination and become an official. They want to be able to read a few words, know how to make an abacus, and then go to the city to find a job in a shop, otherwise they will not even give the boy a job. They don't even send them to school." Su Qiao's words were something Zhou Le had never thought of. It turns out that many things in this world are not what he thought. So Zhou Le lowered his eyes and said, "So that's it. I thought wrong."

"What you think is not wrong. If you have been living in a deep house and have never seen this, you will naturally think that everyone wants to study!" After studying literature and martial arts, he was able to join the emperor's family. For people from high-ranking families, men study to gain fame and enter official careers, while women study to be able to support their husbands and raise children when they get married.

As for the maids and young men studying, they can also help their masters. There are even young men who are smart in reading and are favored by their masters to help them clear their background and find a way out. Naturally, everyone is proud of being able to read.

"I have always heard people say that it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books. At that time, I thought this was just a lie. There are so many truths in this book. As for people outside, how can they understand so much? It makes sense." Zhou Le said with emotion after being silent for a long time after listening to what Su Qiao said.

"So, teach them female workers, then teach them how to calculate accounts, and when they are interested, teach them to read a few words, always take your time." Su Qiao said calmly, Zhou Le nodded, but couldn't help but curious Question: "Sister, why do you teach them to read?"

Why? Suqiao smiled: "Maybe, I thought of myself."

The lonely Suqiao who was left in her hometown by her father, the Suqiao who wanted to know the truth but no one told her the truth. Zhou Le didn't say anything anymore. Su Qiao looked at the list. Naturally, this daughter from the countryside didn't have any nice names, just Peach Blossom.

Or maybe it was Erya, the big girl. After Suqiao read it, she put the list aside and said, "When they arrive, the first thing to do is to give them each a name."
