Quick Travel: The Happy Life of the Enchanting Banshee

After hearing his wife's words, Father Li fell into deep thought.

Thirty-seven taels of silver, if one acre of fertile land costs six taels, buying two acres would be twelve taels.

The price of a tortoise is not expensive, so Father Li said: "Okay, just buy two acres. With the remaining money, I plan to send our eldest son to study first, and then send our second son to school when our family has more money."

Wang Lihua was even more happy when she heard this and said, "Okay, why didn't I think of this? This is a great thing. My eldest son is so smart, he will definitely be able to learn some tricks."

After saying that, he looked at Li Qingheng expectantly. Li Qingheng immediately expressed his attitude: "Mom and dad, I will definitely study hard and pass the exam to become an official in the future. I will be filial to you, and I will support Baicheng and Jiaojiao well." of."

Hearing that his son was on the road like this, Father Li said: "I hope so. Don't let your parents down. What's more important is that you and your mother are working so hard just so that you can have a happy life." A better life, where we don’t have to work in the fields like your mother and I, working hard and earning nothing all year round, just food and clothing.”

Li Qingheng naturally knew the suffering of being the lowest peasant in the ancient world. He not only had to pay taxes to the court but also had to serve in the army.

If they are unlucky and there is another money-grubbing county magistrate, their life will be even more difficult.

Li Qingheng naturally didn't want his family to live like this all the time, so he naturally wanted to climb up.

This feudal class division is very important, scholars, farmers, industry and merchants.

No need to think about it, it’s natural to choose Shi.

He, Li Qingheng, has not yet passed the No. [-] exam!

No matter what, I think I have to get the top prize no matter what.

Li Jiaojiao is still a girl, although she doesn't understand what her elder brother and her parents are talking about.

But although Li Baicheng is young, he understands some things, and naturally understands the importance of reading.

But where can children like them from poor families have money to go to school?

Seeing that his parents earned so much money, Li Baicheng could naturally go to school.

It's just that he's not old enough now, so he can only let his eldest brother go first.

Even so, Li Baicheng still looked envious.

Li Qingheng saw that his younger brother was so envious of him and couldn't help but said: "Don't worry, little brother, when the elder brother goes to school and learns it, he will teach you when he comes back. It is regarded as the enlightenment before going to school. If you get to know the students and go to school, you will get twice the result with half the effort. Wait until the time comes." It’s easier for you to go to school in the same grade.”

Hearing his elder brother's promise, Li Baicheng clapped his hands and said, "Thank you, elder brother. I will learn it well."

Li Jiaojiao, on the other hand, felt that there was no fun in reading, and she might as well play with Chunya and Erdan in the village.

Li Qingheng was naturally happy to see his brother being so motivated.

But when he saw that his sister was not interested in studying, she couldn't help but said: "Jiaojiao, you should also learn some. After all, our family will be studying in the future. If other girls learn to write more, it won't matter when they grow up, they can find a good teacher." Instead of looking for the young men working in the fields, you can look for some scholars or wealthy families in the town."

Hearing what her eldest son said made sense, Fulin's mother was even more delighted.

Even though Jiaojiao looked unhappy, Father Li persuaded her: "Jiaojiao, don't look like this. Dad and brother are doing it for your own good. When you grow up, you will understand. Now you want to learn more." It’s also good and always useful.”

Don't tell Father Li that it is virtue for a woman to have no talent. Look at those wealthy ladies from wealthy families. Which one is illiterate?

Those who cannot compose poetry and music, and those princesses in the palace, still need individual lessons from famous teachers and scholars.

This shows that reading is very useful.

Not to mention it's far away, let's just say it's close. The scholars in the town and the wives of famous wives nearby are all literate.

So, when someone chooses a wife, they not only look at their looks, but also their knowledge.

Naturally, Li's father would not let Jiaojiao's temper go. Even though Li Jiaojiao's face showed no reluctance, Li's father still did not relent and forced Li Jiaojiao to learn.

But Wang Lihua really backed down. She felt that girls don't need much knowledge, as long as they are pretty and do good housework.

Seeing her daughter acting coquettishly, Wang Lihua said softly: "If the head of the family really doesn't want to learn, then she won't be allowed to learn. Seeing the child's reluctance, I feel really bad."

Father Li was unhappy and said: "My mother, I will rely on you for the rest, but I have to learn this matter. If nothing else, just say that Jiaojiao is our biological daughter, what else can I do?" Is it harming her? Don't talk about Jiaojiao. If you marry an ordinary family in the future, just imitate our eldest son's cleverness. He may be an official in the future, so Jiaojiao is definitely a good wife. If she doesn't Literacy, how can you make others look up to you when you marry into someone else's family? Especially those mothers-in-law from wealthy families, they are not a fuel-efficient lamp, and those people are not yours. If you are dissatisfied with them, don't you know what to say? Wife, why don’t you stop worrying about this?"

After hearing what Li's father said, Wang Lihua could no longer plead for Jiaojiao, so she could only let Jiaojiao learn literacy from her eldest son.

Bi's son and the head of the family were right. Jiaojiao can no longer be willful. A young girl should learn the rules and be a well-educated girl?

It will be easier to get married in the future. After all, when my daughter is older, she will eventually get married. It is impossible to say that she will never marry. This will not be good for the reputation of the Li family.

When Li Jiaojiao saw that her mother's pleas were in vain, she knew that she had to learn something from her. She immediately drooped her face as if someone had made her unhappy.

But this time no one was coaxing Jiaojiao, only Baicheng was coaxing: "Jiaojiao, sister, don't be unhappy, come with brother. When you learn more in the future, brother will take you to the town to buy something for you." Eat pastries.”

Hearing that there were cakes to eat, Li Jiaojiao said with a good face: "Are you telling the truth? Second brother, please don't lie to me." Li Baicheng said: "Sister, brother will not lie to you. I will wait until later. If you are older, go fishing with your eldest brother, and I will buy it for you if you sell it."

Li Jiaojiao said with some disappointment: "It will take a long time until you grow up."

Hearing his sister say that it would take a long time for him to grow up, Li Baicheng responded: "That's true, but sister, I have saved several copper coins. When the time comes, my eldest brother will go to town to buy a few cakes. It will be enough." You ate alone."

Hearing this, Li Jiaojiao clapped her hands and said, "Okay! Okay! I will eat two pieces by then."

Hearing Li Jiaojiao say that he wanted to eat two pieces, he thought about the copper coins he had saved up for a long time. He was afraid that even one copper coin could not be saved. His copper coins could just buy two small pieces of millet cakes.
