Goudan cried all the way home to find his grandma, but Datou was not afraid of him and ran home to find his grandma, "Grandma, someone outside is saying bad things about my sister-in-law!"
Qian frowned slightly, "What did you say? Who said it?"
“Goudan’s grandma said that my sister-in-law was not born to my grandparents!”
The smile on Qian's face fell, she put the half-finished insole aside, stood up from the chair, and looked outside.
By chance, Zhou Dayuan's daughter-in-law Zhang also dragged her grandson Goudan to kill him.
It is common for children to fight in the village, but there are no children with nosebleeds.
Let alone Mrs. Zhang, even ordinary people would be angry.
The Zhang family had always been at odds with the Qian family, and there was no way she would let this happen. When she saw her grandson being beaten like this, she didn't even ask why, and just dragged him here to demand an explanation.
But before she had time to apologize, Qian said first: "You came just in time. I heard my eldest grandson say, your little grandson told you that my Manbao is not my child?"
Mrs. Zhang suddenly came to her senses.
"Then let's go to the village chief's house and ask the village elders to tell us whether Man Bao was born to me."
Mrs. Zhang's face turned a little pale, and she looked down at her grandson, not sure if he had overheard her whisper with the old man.
Although Mrs. Zhang felt guilty at this time, she was more angry and said: "Aunt Qian, who knows where the child heard the gossip? Anyway, I have never said such words. No matter what, your family will not
You can't hit our dog Dan, he is one year older than our dog Dan."
Qian said: "The words came from your grandson. He said it was you who said it."
Mrs. Zhang was choked.
Qian looked down at Datou and said, "Go to the mountain and call your grandfather and your father back. Let's go to the village chief's house."
Mrs. Zhang was a little panicked and said: "Aunt Qian, it was just a fight between two children. Your family has the shame to cause trouble at the village chief's house, but my family has no shame."
"If it was just two children fighting and Big Tou hit the dog's balls, I would teach him a lesson. But this also involves my daughter Man Bao. I want you to tell me in front of all the young and old men in the village whether Man Bao is a good person or not.
Did you give birth to me because of your nonsense, or did I steal someone behind his back?"
Mrs. Zhang was so angry that she almost lost her temper. Who gave birth to Zhou Man? Who in the village didn't know?
But when she met Qian's eyes, Zhang didn't dare to speak out.
Qian changed her usual gentleness and dragged Zhang to the village chief's house in a particularly forceful manner.
Because of this dispute, many heads of households in the village were called back from the fields, and many children ran to join in the fun. Although Qian wanted the children to watch, she didn't want the matter to get too ugly, which would not be good for Man Bao.
So the children were driven away, leaving only the elders and heads of households behind.
Man Bao knew nothing about this, and she was whispering with Bai Shanbao at this time.
Bai Shanbao said: "I have thought about it. If I want to become very powerful, very powerful, then I have to study. I want to study in order to become powerful."
Man Bao asked him, "How powerful does one have to be to be considered powerful?"
Bai Shanbao thought about it for a long time last night, so he said: "More powerful than the patriarch of our Bai family, more powerful than everyone in the Bai family, so no one can bully me, my grandmother and mother."
He doesn't study to honor his ancestors, nor does he study to inherit his father's legacy. In the former, he doesn't think his ancestors have any glory worthy of him to carry forward. In the latter, he has no impression of his father, who only exists among his grandmother and mother.
in the mouth.
He told Man Bao in a low voice, "When I was studying at the Clan Academy, they always bullied me because I didn't have a father. Even my husband bullied me because I didn't have a father. No matter who I had a dispute with, it was all my fault. Someone would be there at every turn.
Accused me of being uneducated."
He snorted unconvinced and said: "I am not lacking in education. My grandmother taught me many principles since I was a child, and I have memorized them all."
Man Bao was filled with indignation, "They are so bad!"
Bai Shanbao nodded, "But they are not the worst. The worst are the uncles, aunts, and the patriarch. Because I have no father, they want my family's property. My mother said that those properties should be reserved for me.
Those who study and marry a wife.”
Bai Shanbao still remembers the way he hid behind the screen and watched his grandmother begging those people. There was hatred and stubbornness in his eyes, and he gritted his teeth and said: "My mother said that the patriarch is the magistrate of Jingzhou, and Wu
My great-uncle is a royal censor in the capital, so the two of them have the confidence to take over my family's property. Well, I will be more powerful than them in the future and become a bigger official than them."
Man Bao applauded him, "You will definitely succeed. It's just an imperial examination. It's not difficult."
Bai Shanbao looked at her, "How do you know?"
Man Bao was full of confidence, "I guess we are smart people."
She also asked Keke, "Is the imperial examination easy?"
The system said: "Not good!"
Man Bao glared, "Didn't you say that Shan Bao and I are very smart people?"
The system said: "There are many smart people in this world, and there are even more smart people who are more diligent than you. This year, there are only twenty Jinshi people, and ninety-eight Mingjing people. Bai Shanbao is very smart, but he is young, and it doesn't matter whether he can be diligent or not.
Definitely. Reading doesn’t just depend on talent.”
Man Bao said to Bai Shanbao seriously: "You must study hard, otherwise you will fail the imperial examination even if it is not difficult."
She was a little cautious. She shouldn't have made a quick conclusion just now. If she changed her words now, it would not only damage her "majesty", but also damage the enthusiasm of her friends.
The system took the opportunity to educate her, "So in the future, conclusions must be made through investigation. As the ancients said, without investigation, there is no right to speak."
Man Bao asked: "Which ancient person said this?"
"To me, they are ancients, to the host, they are descendants."
Man Bao nodded, "It turns out it was my descendants who said this."
Keke couldn't help but remain silent.
Man Bao had no other choice now but to urge Bai Shanbao to study more and study harder. Otherwise, how could she explain to him that he would fail the imperial examination in the future?
For this reason, Manbao also studied with him very seriously. Of course, because she was younger and her progress was slower, she read the books and then asked him for advice, and he explained to her.
But Man Bao would not let her disturb him. She felt that her husband was right. Reviewing the past can help you learn new things. While she asked him for advice, he was also reviewing the past. Naturally, she could gain new knowledge every time.
After school in the afternoon, Man Bao followed Bai Shanbao out of the classroom with a small book box on her back. They were still discussing the interpretation of a poem she had just asked for advice, so they didn't notice that Da Tou didn't come to pick her up.
The two of them talked and walked, and walked to Bai's house very naturally. After paying a visit to Mrs. Liu, they went to the study to read.
They took out the bamboo slips from the back of the book, looked at it curiously, then put it back, and then they looked around for books to read.
Man Bao felt that they had to read many, many books before they could pass the imperial examination, so even if they couldn't read some books, they still had to read them.
Of course, in order not to embarrass themselves, they will still find books that interest them first.
