It was night, there was a heavy snowfall, and the next day was the day when the county school gave students two days off every month.

Jiang Sanyan pushed open the wooden door, and the courtyard was covered with a thick layer of snow.She turned to find a pair of old gloves, picked up the broom and shovel and began to sweep the snow in the yard.

A neat string of footprints on the snow stretched out of the door, belonging to Jiang Xiaoya. The nine-year-old couldn't stay at home, so she went out early in the morning to find her friends to play around with.

Jiang Sanyan swept the snow in the courtyard to both sides and piled it on the edge of the fence, and then swept the snow in front of her house, and saw that the time was about Sishichu (nine o'clock in the morning). It's time to be hungry, so I'm going to make breakfast.

"Sister, you were kicked out by the county school, right?" Jiang Xiaoya trotted all the way, and asked out loudly before entering the yard.

She was having fun playing snowball with her friends when she saw her cousin Jiang Jiejin coming back from the county in an ox cart.When he was greeting the neighbors in the neighborhood, he told people about his cousin Jiang Sanyan who provoked men in the county school and was kicked out.

When Jiang Xiaoya heard it, she lowered her head and pulled her legs back, and then tried to reduce her sense of existence. Seeing that no one was paying attention, she let go of her feet and ran home.

She guessed that what her cousin said should be true, but the little luck in her heart made her run back and ask again.

Jiang Sanyan turned around when he heard the words, looked at his anxious younger sister and nodded, "Not bad."

"Sister, why did you provoke those men? You said you should study hard." Seeing her nodding, Jiang Xiaoya couldn't help but her eyes turned red, and her little mouth was also stubbornly pursed.

"Little girl, my sister didn't provoke anyone. It's their fault. You are still young, don't think so much. Go back to your room. It's cold outside. I'll cook right away."

Jiang Sanyan moved her lips to explain something, and finally sighed in her heart, she didn't say much, she didn't want her sister to know those inexplicable malice prematurely.

Her wish in this life is to do her best to let Jiang Xiaoya live a better life, preferably to live without any worries for the rest of her life, so some things are still too far away, and it is not appropriate for the younger sister to be premature touch.

"My cousin said that you were kicked out for provoking men in the county school. Why don't you study hard, why?" Jiang Xiaoya blushed, her face was calmer than when she heard the news Her older sister made it even more difficult for her to accept.

Their family is very poor, and the two sisters don't know how to farm. The two acres of Susukida in the family are rented out, and they only have half a penny a year.The two lived frugally and lived tightly.

Since she was sensible, she knew that only when her sister was well-known in her studies, could she live a good life.So no matter how much the auntie said that they were wishful thinking, no matter how many white eyes she met, she pretended not to see it.

Jiang Xiaoya raised her head and looked at her sister with red eyes. After being kicked out by the county school, how can she study, how can she take the imperial examination, and how can she get rid of the days of worrying about the next meal: "Sister, you want to talk about your in-law's family?" Really, you don't want Xiaoya anymore, do you?"

Jiang Sanyan swallowed back the words that were already on her lips. She wanted to reprimand her sister a few words, but seeing Jiang Xiaoya like this, her heart couldn't help but soften and sour.

She walked over and gently hugged Jiang Xiaoya's head: "Don't cry, my sister will never leave you alone. I still have to take the examination of scholar and examination, so how can I talk about my in-law's family? Xiaoya is obedient, trust me, okay?" , I will take the county examination next year, and when I come back from the examination as a scholar, we can eat meat often."

Jiang Sanyan's eyes darkened after he finished speaking, but no, being a scholar in the exam just improved his status, he could see the magistrate without having to kneel down, exempt from some corvee and miscellaneous taxes, no need for guidance when traveling far away, other than that, it was just a false name Forget it, otherwise she would not have been poor and had no money for medical treatment in her previous life.

Naturally, she couldn't tell Jiang Xiaoya the truth at the moment, so she could only draw a big cake to keep her sister's desire for life. After all, it is a rare thing to always have hope for the future.

That day, after Jiang Lin's publicity, all the old and young in Jiangjia Village knew that Jiang Sanyan was kicked out of the county school, offended two men, and offended Mrs. Juren.

Therefore, girls should not be allowed to study. For a while, the Jiang family took it as a warning and warned their daughters not to have the idea of ​​studying and taking the imperial examination. Such deviant thoughts are absolutely unacceptable.

The next day, Jiang Sanyan picked up the umbrella she had borrowed from Qian's Mansion and went out. On the way out of Jiangjia Village, she couldn't help smiling wryly when she saw the eyes and footsteps of the villagers avoiding her.

She didn't do anything wrong, but she attracted everyone to avoid her. This is always the case in this world, and most of them represent correctness.People with high status represent authority.If a child offends Juren, if you are reasonable, you are overthinking your capabilities, and if you are unreasonable, you are acting recklessly.

Having no status, no power, and even being a woman who refuses to accept her fate is the original sin.

In Qian Mansion, after Jiang Sanyan asked for an audience, she was brought to the front hall by her servants. She first expressed her gratitude for borrowing the umbrella, and then brought up the matter of returning the ten taels of silver.

The old housekeeper took a sip of tea slowly, pondered what the young lady said, and tried not to look like he did it deliberately: "It's really a coincidence that a remarkable female accountant came to the mansion, and now all these matters are handled by her." Anyway, why don't I take you to talk to her?"

"Thank you." Jiang Sanyan didn't notice anything wrong, she nodded, followed the old housekeeper quietly, walked through the front hall, walked around to the backyard, and a green garden appeared in front of her eyes.

It was cold winter, and the pines and cypresses were arranged in a patchwork pattern in the yard, which was particularly eye-catching in this snowy winter.There is a pavilion in the courtyard, which is surrounded by thick silk cloth to block the wind.

There was a stove burning in the booth, and hot tea was warming on the table. A woman was sitting at the table with a book in her hand, reading seriously.The old butler led him a few steps away from the gazebo, and retreated quietly.

The woman in the pavilion is about 25 or [-] years old, her hair is not tied up, but tied up high, which looks extraordinarily free and easy.And that bright white fox fur coat, exquisitely crafted boots, and good looks, no matter how you look at it, you don't look like an ordinary accountant.

"Have you seen enough? Come in when you've seen enough." The woman in the pavilion turned her head, with inquiring eyes hidden in her lazy brows, as if she wasn't surprised by Jiang Sanyan's arrival.

"It's really offending to interrupt rashly. I came to Jiang Sanyan to pay back the money owed. Here are the money and the IOU. Please take a look at it." Jiang Sanyan took out the prepared money and the IOU, and put them on the table together. , then took half a step back and stood aside.

"Why do you want to borrow money?" The female accountant didn't look at the IOU and money, she looked at Jiang Sanyan, as if she didn't care about the question.

Jiang Sanyan paused, thinking that the female accountant should have just come to work in Qianfu, and she didn't know what she was doing. She thought for a while and explained kindly: "...so this is Qianfu's attempt to help the county. Poor students are..."

"I asked why you borrowed money, don't answer the question." The female accountant raised her eyebrows, her tone became more serious, and her face showed a bit of majesty.

"I was poor in the lower family, so I borrowed ten taels of silver for my study in order to study in the county." Jiang Sanyan was stunned, feeling like being questioned, her brows were slightly frowned, this time it was not bad She was kind, and answered the female accountant's question in a polite manner.

The female accountant then asked, "Why did you enter the county school?"

Jiang Sanyan replied: "To understand my doubts, to study."

The female accountant asked again: "Why do you want to study?"

Jiang Sanyan answered patiently: "For the purpose of obtaining fame."

The female accountant raised her eyebrows slightly, and her tone was softer: "How can a woman get a job?"

Jiang Sanyan frowned and said, "Why can't women."

"Well said, I'm here to ask you, so the first is to attack the army, the second is to attack the diplomatic relations, the second is to attack the soldiers, and the second is to attack the city, why?"

Jiang Sanyan replied subconsciously: "Therefore, the best way to fight is to use strategy to defeat the enemy, and the second is... sir, I'm here to pay back the money owed."

Halfway through her speech, she realized that she was here to pay back the money, so she turned into a school exam, a familiar feeling of disobedience swept through her mind, very much like the one before who fell and limped, and recovered in a blink of an eye The feeling brought by a normal maid.

The female accountant smiled imperceptibly. She remembered the entrustment of the owner here, and said straight to the point: "I used to be the master of Li's College in Beijing, specializing in women's studies. I will stay in Ci County in the near future. Would you like to ask me to help you?" division?"

"This... I haven't heard of Li's College in the capital, so..." Jiang Sanyan stammered, wanting to refuse but hesitated. Firstly, she was short of a good teacher, and secondly, she really didn't understand why Repaying the money has become an apprenticeship. The most important thing is, is the female accountant in front of me a good teacher?

"You are ignorant, just ask what you don't understand when you are studying, and I will explain it to you as a teacher." The female accountant raised her eyebrows, and there was a sense of arrogance in her eyes, as if she was born with confidence and confidence.

"Student, dare to ask sir..." Jiang Sanyan thought for a while before throwing out the question. She is not stupid. This female accountant wants to accept her as an apprentice. As for whether she is a good teacher, you will know after trying it.

Tens of feet away, in an attic, Qian Xiaoqiao leaned on the window and watched the two people not far away who were asking and answering questions, when the wind blew off a few pieces of snow from the trees.She slightly hooked the corner of her mouth, and a gleam of joy appeared in her eyes.

"Miss, do you think Mr. Li will be satisfied with that girl's birth?" Shuang'er stood aside, looked out of the window, and then at her own lady. The doubts in her eyes became more and more intense. She was almost an unqualified college student. I'm a maid, I can't figure out what the miss is putting so much effort into?

"Go and tidy up another guest room, and arrange it in Mr. Li's yard, and then arrange it. Without my order, no one will disturb the two distinguished guests. In addition, ask the housekeeper to send this IOU to Mr. Li .

Qian Xiaoqiao smiled slightly, handed the IOU to Shuang'er, then closed the window and went downstairs. She didn't answer Shuang'er's question directly, because the answer was self-evident.
