The Adventures of Princess Saiya
Chapter 519 Ancient Peasant Girl 2
Sai Ya understood very well the status of a scholar in ancient times. She hoped that Wang Ming could at least pass the imperial examination and become a scholar, so that their land would not have to pay taxes, the family would be wealthier, and no one in their family would be forced to do labor.
From that day on, Wang Ming went to school.
The little boy studied very hard, because he had the wisdom pills and photographic memory pills that Siya secretly gave him, so learning was a very easy thing for him.
Wang Chunhua: "Yaya, Yaya, go out and play!"
The little girl who can't even speak fluently will call her friends to go out and play.
Sai Ya looked at her, "Chunhua, what do you want to play?"
Wang Chunhua: "Shall we go dig up bugs and feed them to the chickens?" Bugs are soft and fun to play with.
Sai Ya froze. No matter how long she lived, she could not like those mollusks. Every time she saw them, she felt cold. She did not want to catch insects! They were dirty and disgusting.
So, at this moment, Sai Ya shook her head like a rattle and looked at Wang Chunhua in resistance: "I don't want to catch insects! I want to pick wild vegetables."
Anyway, those chicks also eat vegetables, so it’s the same if she goes to pick them.
Although the two little guys spoke seriously, in fact, the adults in the family did not expect them to do any work. After all, they are still too young and can't even walk steadily.
Of course, they wouldn't say anything to discourage the children.
So, the two little ones walked out holding hands. Sia thought it was good to be a child, so she released her nature and did what other children of that age would do.
Wang Chunhua was holding a small shovel in his hand and squatting on the ground to dig out insects seriously, while Saiya was strolling around, looking for some wild vegetables that chickens liked to eat, digging them out and putting them in the small basket she brought.
It is really a very small basket, only slightly bigger than an adult's palm, and can hold limited things. It is made by adults at home to entertain their children.
After filling the small basket, Sia stood up and wandered around. Then, she saw a very beautiful wild eggplant, the scientific name of which is Solanum nigrum.
There were bunches of purple fruits hanging on it. She picked one and tasted it. It was very sweet.
So she picked all the fruits that had turned purple. Since she couldn't hold them in her hands, she put them in a small basket. There were wild vegetables under the basket anyway, so the fruits would not be crushed.
There were also some small sour pears, which she picked and planned to take back to share with Wang Chunhua. After all, they were friends, and she would not eat them alone.
Of course, except for the things in her space, she would not give those things to others to eat unless they were 100% reliable.
Of course, even if she trusts him 100%, she may not give it to him. Some things are secrets and cannot be known to another person.
Sai Ya went to find Wang Chunhua with her small basket. She was still digging insects at this time. There were already quite a few insects in the box beside her. Sai Ya felt cold after just looking at some of them, so she quickly looked away.
Sai Ya: "Chunhua, have you finished digging? I found wild eggplants and sour pears. Let's eat them together later!"
Wang Chunhua's clothes were dirty and her face was covered with mud because of digging insects, but when she heard Saiya's words and that there were wild fruits to eat, a big smile broke out on her face.
"Okay, okay! Let's go back now!" She stood up, patted her dirty little hands, and was about to come over to pull Saia.
Sai Ya took two steps back to avoid the dirty little hands that stretched out to her, "I still have to carry the basket, it's very heavy, let's go!"
She didn't dislike Wang Chunhua, really, she really didn't want to hold hands with Wang Chunhua because she had to carry the small basket.
Wang Chunhua did not notice Saiya's actions, but happily took the insects he dug and went home with Saiya.
When they got home, the two put the things in their hands back where they should be, fed the insects to the chickens, and then they went to wash their hands.
After washing their hands, they washed the small wild fruits. The two children each took a small bowl, put the washed wild fruits into the small bowl, and started eating.
The adults in the family all have their own work to do. The only ones still at home are Liu and Wang Yanhua. Wang Yanni is already married, and Wang Yanhua has to look after her younger sister at home and do some housework.
Liu is the same as Wang Yanhua, but she has to take care of Saiya. Of course, she also has to do housework. After all, there is a big family, and there are a lot of chores to do at home, which are very trivial.
Sai Ya: "Mom, eat the fruit, I picked it!"
Wang Chunhua also handed the small bowl in her hand to her sister, "Sister, eat the fruit, Yaya picked it."
Although Wang Yanhua was not very old, she was over ten years old. Although she also wanted to eat wild fruits, after all, it was a rare snack for them, but her two younger sisters were even younger and she had to give in to them, so she just took two for the sake of courtesy and then let the two little ones eat by themselves.
After Saiya turned six, she often went to the mountains. She most often brought home wild vegetables, mushrooms and black fungus. Sometimes she was lucky enough to catch a pheasant or a rabbit and bring it home.
Until one day, she returned home with a ginseng in her hand and told her family that she liked the red fruit and wanted to plant it.
She is still young and doesn’t know what ginseng is, so this is all she can say.
At first, when she said she wanted to grow red ginseng, her family didn't care and didn't say anything. But Saiya had to let them see ginseng and recognize it, so that they could increase the family income!
You know, their family is very short of money these days, and her brother can't afford to go to school, so of course she has to do her part.
Then Saiya's grandfather saw the red fruits she was going to plant.
Grandpa Wang thought he had seen it wrong, so he walked up to it, picked it up and looked at it carefully, then confirmed that he was not seeing things, it was really ginseng.
Grandpa Wang: "Xiao Ya! This red fruit has been pulled out and can't be planted again. Besides, this is called ginseng and is worth a lot of silver. Can you sell this ginseng for silver and let your brother continue to study, okay?"
He has always known that his granddaughter is very smart. He believes that his granddaughter will understand what he said.
Sure enough, Siya nodded, indicating that she would listen to her grandfather.
Grandpa Wang asked again: "Where did Xiaoya find this ginseng? Is this the only one? Are there any more?"
Although I don't hold out much hope for this, I still have to ask.
Sai Ya pretended to recall, and after a long while, she shook her head and said, "Grandpa, there are no more, just this one."
Although he felt a little regretful, Grandpa Wang also knew that this was normal.
He wrapped the ginseng in cloth and put it away. He waited until the evening when everyone in the family came back and told them about the incident.
The whole family was very happy about this. Wang Ming was also happy that he could continue his studies. He was very grateful to his sister.
Wang Ming has been studying for three years. His grades have always been very good. The teacher said that he has learned very well and has a hope of passing the examination to become a scholar. As long as he keeps studying, he will at least become a scholar in the future.
Therefore, no matter how difficult the family life was, they had to grit their teeth and support him in his studies. But now, with the ginseng that Siya found, their family's life will not be so difficult anymore.
Saiya would also learn to read from Wang Ming. Wang Ming was also happy to teach his younger sister to read. Whether it was Saiya, Wang Chunhua, or her older brothers and sisters who wanted to learn to read, he would teach them.
However, Wang Ming thinks that the smartest one is his own sister, Saiya.
Therefore, he taught very seriously. He felt that only girls could not take part in the imperial examinations, otherwise his sister would definitely be better than him.
Since Sia was able to run up the mountain, she would always bring some things down the mountain. At first, she could only bring wild vegetables and mushrooms, then pheasants and rabbits, and later wild goats, roe deer, etc., and occasionally she would pick some herbs to bring home.
Herbs are a good source of income, and a lot of money can be earned every month. Not only that, it can support Wang Ming's studies, but Saiya can also buy some things for herself. She also reads Wang Ming's books.
Later, she started writing storybooks and asked Wang Ming to sell them.
She traveled through many worlds, and those bizarre experiences and some of the scenery, when written about, seemed as real as they were, so her storybooks quickly became popular.
And every month, she could earn several thousand taels of silver. After all, people who had spare money to read storybooks were not ordinary people. Books were expensive at that time, and even storybooks were not cheap.
Now, Sai Ya is fifteen years old. Her brother Wang Ming has passed the examination to become a student and will soon take the examination to become a scholar.
Their family conditions are now considered pretty good, much better than before.
My parents have been discussing that once Wang Ming passes the imperial examination, they will arrange a marriage for him and also for Saiya.
There is also Wang Chunhua, who is the same age as Saiya and is not engaged yet.
Not long after, Wang Ming took the exam and successfully became a scholar, and their marriage was also put on the agenda.
Because Sai Ya is Wang Ming's biological sister, and is said to be very talented. She has been studying with Wang Ming since she was a child and is a talented girl. Therefore, even though their family conditions are not very good, there are many people who want to marry Sai Ya.
After all, she is beautiful and talented.
Later, Saiya married one of Wang Ming's classmates, who was also a scholar. He was handsome and had good character. Although his qualifications were not as good as Wang Ming's, he was open-minded.
Moreover, the other party's family is also well-off, and there are no concubines or maids in the family. As for whether there will be one in the future? Of course not, if the other party has a concubine or maid.
Sia would consider physically cutting the opponent, making him permanently lose that function.
After all, in the ancient world, divorce was not allowed, otherwise it would bring bad reputation. She didn't care, but she always had to worry about whether the Wang family would be implicated by her.
Although she claims that she is not a good person, she will not do anything to bring harm to her family who are truly devoted to her.
