After rebirth, I went from a peasant girl to the richest man

Just a few simple words made Jiang's father, who was originally full of joy, suddenly feel depressed.

Even he himself didn't realize that his voice was trembling when he spoke: "Don't you know how to read?"

In the entire village, there was not even one family with slightly better conditions. It can only be said that the place where my daughter used to live was very backward and poor.

He originally looked at the Bai family's big house and thought that although his daughter's life was hard, it would definitely not be as good as when she was in Kyoto.

But he never thought it would be so hard.

The excuses he made for himself and the beautiful things he whitewashed were shattered by his daughter's plain narration.

Even the daughter didn't know that this ordinary sentence could have such a destructive effect on Jiang's father.

Bai's mother listened to the trembling voice and frowned slightly, then she thought of something and added, "Not all children."

"After Qingshan and his friends were born, I taught them how to become adults. Last year, all three of them studied in the school in Baiyang Town, Bingzhou for more than half a year, so they have some basic skills."

"If I hadn't just arrived in Jiangzhou this year and had so much going on at home, coupled with the unstable situation in Jiangzhou, it would have been difficult to find a school for the children. I would have wanted to let them go down to take the exam."

"Now, we can only wait until next year."

Bai Qingyun clearly noticed that Jiang's father's face had turned even paler.

Perhaps he realized that he had just lost his composure, so he picked up the little tea left beside him and suppressed the sadness in his heart.

Sometimes we should really be grateful for the penetration of tea culture. At least, when we are embarrassed, bored, or out of control... tea can be a good cover-up.

It was as if Jiang's father's eyes were moist, and while drinking tea, he covered them with his wide sleeves and tried hard to blink back the tears that were about to overflow, so as not to lose his composure too much.

Under such difficult conditions, my daughter has not forgotten to struggle. She knows that only by educating the children can she change the family situation. At that time, she had to make a living and take care of the children...

In those corners that he couldn't see, his daughter must be having a hard time.

"Okay." He put down the teacup. The old butler was very considerate and asked someone to replace it with a new cup of tea. Then he quickly left, leaving the space for the masters.

Father Jiang then continued: "You did very well, very well..."

"In this world, it is extremely difficult for women and even poor students to succeed. It is better to be exposed to it early than to achieve success late in life."

It sounds inspiring to be a late bloomer, but if possible, who wouldn’t want to succeed earlier?

"Don't worry. I will arrange the move tomorrow. Leave the children's education to me. You can also...relax a little."

Until now, he was still extremely grateful that he had made the right decision to resign.

Colleagues tried to dissuade him again and again, and his father even tried to stop him, threatening that if he resigned, he would no longer have a son...

After all, others will never be able to understand your difficulties.

Although his colleagues had good intentions, they only knew that he sighed while working in the government office, but they did not know how helpless he felt when he returned home facing an empty room and his seriously ill wife.

My father's obstruction was for the Jiang family, not for his own future. When did he really treat me as his son?

The children of the Jiang family, whether daughters or sons, can make concessions for the continuation of the family for a hundred years!

That was the only time in his life that he really felt happy doing something that came from his heart.

Otherwise, he would not have obtained the management rights of Jishidiang in Pingcheng Prefecture, nor would he have found his only daughter.

He raised his head again, looked around, and then asked, "I heard that your family has built a martial arts training ground, and your three brothers are practicing martial arts. Why didn't they come to Jiangzhou City today?"

Bai's mother nodded: "I am learning martial arts from Master Wu."

She thought again that since all the children in the family were to be handed over to their father, the children's situation naturally had to be made clear.

"My dear brother, you have a talent for martial arts and some natural brute strength. You want to take the path of the martial arts imperial examination in the future. But it's not good that you won't be able to read a few words in the future. You won't even be able to read a military book in the future."

Father Jiang agreed: "Yes, you have thought a lot. Although the court is divided into civil and military officials, there is rarely an absolute distinction between the two. Even civil officials need to know some basic horse riding skills. Pure military officials who cannot read a single word will have limited future development."

More than once today, he felt how wise it was for him not to leave the child alone to his wife to raise.

Taking her with him when he was studying and practicing calligraphy gave her more insights than just a backyard girl.

This independent thing has been done quite well, and the children of the Bai family will not be short-sighted in the future.

However, Jiang's father still pointed out the omissions in Bai's mother's arrangement: "The martial arts imperial examination is different from the civil examination. In the past, they also examined the deployment of troops and formations. Not to mention ordinary families, even many civil servants in Kyoto would find it difficult to train a martial arts champion."

"I will write a letter to Kyoto some other day to ask if there are any books suitable for the martial arts exam. It would be best if everyone can buy one. The children at home are still young, so they can get some exposure first. I don't ask for mastery, but at least they won't be completely in the dark and know nothing."

Bai's mother nodded. Although she had thought about it, her own resources were limited. She could only try her best to arrange things for the children within the limited resources.

This is the best way now.

Then she continued, "As for the second child, he is the only child in the family except the youngest..." She glanced at Bai Qingyun, and received a reassuring smile from him, before she felt relieved to continue.

"My three brothers all started learning at the age of three. The second oldest was the fastest learner, even faster than I was back then. He is the most gifted in literature in the family."

Bai Qingyun did not receive any enlightenment, naturally because he was already mentally retarded at that time, and his mother was powerless to do anything about it.

When Jiang's father heard about the second child's situation, he was obviously more interested than the eldest child: "Oh? Hui Niang was able to read the scriptures at the age of three, and could compose poems at the age of seven. Could this child be even faster?"

To be honest, Bai's mother was one of the most talented women in Kyoto. Although this was an image deliberately created by the head of the Jiang family, the most important thing was that Bai's mother did have some real talent.

Although she is a girl, she often attracts more attention than boys.

Bai's mother didn't understand this kind of importance at first, and she just thought that there was nothing wrong with her relying on her own abilities.

Later, slowly, the secret methods in the backyard were used on her and she almost died because of a dish of poisoned cakes. Only then did she begin to understand the principle of hiding her shortcomings.

In order to protect his daughter, Jiang's father also brought her up by his side.

Jiang's father was happy to see this happen. After all, his daughter was an excellent person. With some guidance, she would surely have some knowledge in the future and would not be easily deceived by men.

If he is better than Bai's mother, then he would be a potential top scholar in the imperial examination.

He was actually beginning to look forward to meeting this grandson, more than the others.
