My husband is a sick cat

Lu Jian didn't quite understand it at first, but looking at Zhou's lonely expression, she suddenly remembered her previous life. After Sister Nan passed away, she had to kill zombies day and night, always exhausting herself until she had no strength. Able to fall asleep, but once there is nothing to do, thoughts will wander.

Although Zhou's situation was different from hers, she had also learned about her father-in-law's affairs and Zhou's natal family's affairs from Tang Ying. At this time, she understood it as soon as she contacted her. To put it bluntly, she would have random thoughts when she had nothing to do.

"Mom, if you feel you have nothing to do, how about I teach you Kung Fu?"

Lu Jian felt that this was the only thing she could teach Zhou, but as soon as she said these words, she got a shocked look from Zhou and a mouthful of meat that Tang Ying reluctantly gave her.

"Don't talk nonsense, my mother's body can't withstand the torture."

Tang Ying said it lightly, but she also took a hint from Lu Jian's words. She looked at Zhou and said, "Mom, I'm going to take part in the imperial examination next year."

Tang Ying had said before that he would take part in the imperial examination, but he did not say when. So Zhou always thought that he would not take part in the imperial examination until at least Tang Ying's health was completely recovered. However, he did not expect that Tang Ying would actually take part in the exam next year. , immediately became anxious.

"Why do you have to participate next year? Can your body bear it?"

In fact, Tang Ying was not so anxious at first. He just got some money from Lu Jian's robbery and found someone to invest in the other party's business, although he felt that based on the other party's ability, he would not cheat him. .

However, things will always go wrong, and the appearance of Zhuo Qing gave Tang Ying a sense of crisis. He felt that the sooner he took part in the imperial examination, the sooner he could enter the officialdom and gain power after passing the examination.

Only when he has enough power can he really protect the people he wants to protect, and make people dare not look down on him. Moreover, he does not make decisions casually. In fact, he has not fallen behind much in his homework over the years.

After entering the academy, he also asked his teacher to read the test questions from previous imperial examinations. They were not difficult. Half a year of review was enough for him to cope with these things. As for his health, he is getting better now, although there is no way to do it all at once. It's completely better, but I can still cope with the imperial examination.

What's more, you can't become an official immediately after the imperial examination, unless you are the top three in the palace examination, but even if you are in the top three in the palace examination, you still need to polish your skills in places like the Hanlin Academy for several years before you can really get in touch with the court.

These few years can be used to support the body. Everything was calculated by him. When Zhou asked, he explained his plan in detail. Both Zhou and Lu Jian listened very carefully. serious.

Seeing that Tang Ying had planned everything, Zhou didn't say any more objections.

"Since you've already planned it, I won't say much more. Mom doesn't know anything about your studies, as long as you think it's okay."

Lu Jian also nodded, but she always felt that Tang Ying did not say so much just to talk about this matter. There must be something else. Sure enough, after seeing them accept it, Tang Ying finally revealed his ultimate purpose.

"Mom, if I really win the lottery, the people you may interact with in the future will be some officials' wives, so I think you should practice calligraphy with A Jian. At least in the future, if others send greeting cards or something, you will have to Do you understand?"

Tang Ying actually didn't care whether her mother could read or not, and she didn't ask Lu Jian to be talented or learned. She just felt that literacy would be good for them, at least they would not be easily fooled by others. She brought it up at this time mainly to find something for Zhou. Do.

Zhou frowned slightly and subconsciously wanted to refuse. She still remembered her father's words that a woman's lack of talent is a virtue. Her father explained to her at that time that it was a good thing for a woman to be illiterate, and she kept remembering it.

Later, after marrying Tang Jing, Tang Jing never mentioned letting her become literate, so she actually never knew the true meaning of that sentence. It was only now that Tang Ying mentioned it that she started to resist.

Just thinking about it again, I felt that Tang Ying was right. If his son really became an official and he didn't understand anything, wouldn't that be an embarrassment to his son?

She had read the storybook before. It was better to say that it was read to her by Lu Jian. She only liked to see some of the small illustrations in it.

But even if Lu Jian read the storybook to her in passing, they often understood it differently, so Zhou actually spent most of her time doing embroidery and other things.

"Well, then, it's just that you're going to the academy, shall I learn how to read with Lu Jian?"

If Tang Ying goes back to the academy, she will only have one day of rest in seven days, so it is impossible to teach her how to read. That's what Zhou said.

"Correct."

Even though Lu Jian didn't like reading, when Tang Ying was teaching, he also found that her memory was very good. She could basically remember many words after reading them once, but the writing was ugly, so he let Lu Jian read it once. Practice calligraphy when you have free time instead of teaching her how to read all the time.

"Mom, don't worry, I know a lot of words now, and I can definitely teach you."

Lu Jian directly patted her chest and assured that she really thought so, because even if she doesn't like reading, she can learn it, and Zhou will definitely do the same.

After the matter was settled and breakfast was finished, Zhou wanted to go back to the embroidery room as usual, but Tang Ying called her to the study. There was a brazier in front of the study, and it was warm and comfortable as soon as she entered.

"Mom, come here. I'll teach you a few simple words first. You can memorize them first."

As Tang Ying spoke, he found the Three Character Classic that he had learned when he was young from the bookshelf and gave it to Zhou. It was from this book that he began to teach Lu Jian how to read.

Of course Zhou had no objection. It was only when he started learning that he discovered that literacy was so difficult. Tang Ying did not expect that it would be so difficult for Zhou to read. It was just the thirty characters at the beginning of the Three Character Classic that Zhou couldn't do all morning. learn.

When he first entered school, he didn't find it so difficult. When he was teaching Lu Jian, he read the whole text twice, and Lu Jian basically remembered it. After that, she read the book by herself and copied the words on it.

While Tang Ying was teaching Zhou how to read, Lu Jian returned to the bedroom and continued to practice. Now she was very interested in practice. She wanted to see how far she could practice in the end, so she didn't see the situation in the study room. .

After Zhou studied for an hour, he could only stutter out the first four sentences. The rest either remembered the wrong order or mispronounced the words. Fortunately, Tang Ying was patient enough and kept correcting them over and over again. , I finished two pots of tea.

He was still teaching her patiently, but Mrs. Zhou couldn't stand it anymore and looked at Tang Ying in frustration: "Ying'er, Mommy may not be good at studying. She really can't learn."
