"Then what should we do? Are we just like this..." Miss Yao Ba saw the other two people looking over and her voice became softer, "Did I say something wrong?"
"No, you're right, I'm just surprised that the eighth sister is actually smarter." Miss Yao Qi looked surprised.
Miss Yao Ba: "..."
——Well, she already knew that in Seventh Sister’s heart, she was just a little fool!
——She was too lazy to struggle.
"But the problem now is that this is a task assigned by the old lady. Whoever completes it well will get a reward. If we don't invest in the early stage, the reward will definitely not be ours..." Miss Yao Ba asked the old lady.
The reward is still very exciting.
After all, after Aunt Zhang was assigned, she and Miss Yao Ba lost their "living allowance" and had no choice but to take the lead and receive monthly silver.
Just that little bit of silver is not enough for the two of them to live on?
I want to have a snack, but I can't get the money.
As for the snack money that Mr. Yao had allocated every three to five seconds, it was simply ignored by Miss Yao Qi - that was what she deserved, wasn't it?
"Who doesn't want the reward? But do you think the three of us can get it?" Yao Liuye rolled his eyes and didn't have much hope for this matter. He said, "The aunt of the three of us has been sent away.
Yeah, it’s weird that the old lady wants to see us now, she’s just afraid that she’ll be noticed, which will only make things worse.”
"Then..." Miss Yao Qi was stunned for a moment, "Then you mean... we won't participate?"
"You must participate. Who dares not to participate in the tasks assigned by the old lady? But it is just like the homework assigned by the gentleman in the academy. As long as we complete it on time, the quality is not under our control."
Miss Yao Qi felt a little pity. After all, it was only 50 taels of silver. If she got it, even if it was divided among three people, it would be more than a month's worth of silver.
But Mr. Yao Liu is right. They are still carrying charges, so it is really not convenient for them to show up in front of the old lady. If they are taken into account, it will be really troublesome.
Miss Yao Ba opened her mouth but did not say anything.
What she wants to say is, since you are so afraid of being noticed by the old lady, why do you name the group "The Hairpin Group" to remind the old lady that you are old enough to look at others?
well……
Forget it, no matter what she says, they won't listen.
The three of them were bored and could only think of a stupid solution - copy the books themselves, add drawings and make a set of enlightenment books.
For one, Yao Liuye was used to copying books. Although his calligraphy was a little more ingenious, he could still tell that he was good at it; for the other, the pen and ink were free and came from the public, so they did not need to spend any money.
It got cold in an instant.
A few days ago, the quilted clothes were not worn on the upper body, so it was enough to wear a little thicker clothes. However, in the blink of an eye, the charcoal fire in the room was lit. I was holding a Yubaozi for hand warmers and had to put on a windproof cloak when I went out.
Otherwise the cold will make you shiver.
At this time, there is no holiday in Yao Academy yet, so everyone still needs to get up early and go there for morning exercise, followed by morning classes.
Mrs. Yao got up early to help Mr. Yao get dressed. While busy, she muttered: "It's so cold, why don't you have a holiday? What does the old lady mean? She doesn't know that she feels sorry for you and her grandchildren.
?"
"It's not that I won't release it, it's that it's not yet time to release it. It won't be released until almost the end of December..." Yao Erye recalled the teaching schedule he saw from his husband before, and it seemed that it was planned to reach that time.
"Ah, isn't it about to celebrate the New Year? What should I do, sir? Doesn't he need to go home to celebrate the New Year?" Mrs. Yao Er frowned, obviously feeling sorry for her early-rising second master and her children.
Yao Anhong's health has improved, but she can't withstand such a torment. If she falls ill again, will she die suddenly?
You know, some of them were given sterilization drugs. Although the old lady brought back the "antidote", no one knew whether it was of any use.
Anyway, so far, so many months have passed, and no one has heard any good news.
If it doesn't work out, Mrs. Yao Er is thinking that when next spring comes, she will arrange some respectable maids around Mr. Yao to see if it is she who is too old to give birth, or whether it is Mr. Yao...
Although she didn't like people who were born by concubines, compared to the fact that Mr. Yao couldn't have children, she felt that the latter was more terrifying.
"Come back, so the gentlemen who are farther away have already started their vacation, and those who are staying are the ones who live closer." Yao Erye said, "We don't have any new classes in the future. We mainly do some test questions and prepare for the final exam.
The two remaining teachers are enough for these things."
"Really? But why do I still feel unreliable? Do you want to find an opportunity to talk to the old lady? You are her favorite son, and I think your words should be more effective than anyone else..."
Second Master Yao shook his head and said with a smile: "It depends on what happened. Look at the fact that I don't want to study. When did the old lady listen to me?"
Mrs. Yao Er: "..."
Well, not only did the students not agree, but the old lady also didn’t agree to the fact that Mr. Yao and the others did not want to study with his son and daughter.
No, poor Mr. Yao had to stay with his eldest brother and their own son and daughter for a semester.
The worst thing is that Mr. Yao is really not a good student, and he was actually outclassed by his own son Yao Anhong, and then...
Mr. Yao's old face turned red and he hurriedly ran to find Mr. Yao to make up lessons.
Afterwards, Mr. Yao quietly said to Mrs. Yao: "I thought my eldest brother was very good at studying, but I didn't expect that he also had some difficulties."
Recalling what Mr. Yao secretly told her at that time, Mrs. Yao felt inexplicably proud, because Mr. Yao was almost outclassed by her son.
The reason why he was not compared was because Uncle Yao had studied longer than her son and was more knowledgeable, but in terms of intelligence, he could not compare with her son.
Uncle Yao: "..."
Who says I can’t compare?!
I just……
Uncle Yao wanted to cry. At first, they were opposed to the old lady's arrangement for them to study with the younger members of the family. Unexpectedly, the old lady insisted that even if the second uncle Yao went to make trouble in person, it would not change the old lady's attitude.
idea.
As for what they said, they were old, not academically qualified, and had not studied at all. The old lady said with a look of disgust: "Ha! You also know that you have no knowledge? If you don't have knowledge, just study hard and take advantage of it.
Since there is nothing to do at this time, read more books. Don’t wait for the juniors below to grow up. If you are not even as knowledgeable as them, it would be embarrassing.”
That's what he said, but Uncle Yao didn't feel that he could easily compare with the juniors below him after studying for so many years.
Even if Yao Anhong can learn to read again, it will take several years before he can compete with him, right?
What's more, there is Second Master Yao, and Third Master Yao is at the bottom, so the pressure on him will not be so great. Besides, the old lady would arrange for them to enter the academy at this time, just because he had just memorized it once before
"Black pot", the old lady didn't dare to let him out, so she specially found something for him to do to pass the time.
After all, there is work in the bookshop, but it has not yet opened. As long as he arranges the work, there is nothing for him to do.
It's just that Uncle Yao didn't expect that it wasn't until he actually entered the academy that he realized that the "study" the old lady said was not a joke at all, but the truth.
