"Are Xuan'er worried about spending all the mother's money and starving?" Xia Qiyue asked with a smile, because that's what Ke'er said when she bought toys just now.
The children stayed with my sister Jiuyue all day long and rarely appeared in front of others. Plus when selling candy, she asked her sister to keep an eye on the children and not let them come out.
She was just afraid that her children would be seen by outsiders, and someone would cause her to miss her children.
Therefore, they didn't know how much money she had or how much money she earned, so they were always worried about her and saving money for her.
"Yes! Mom, Xuan'er can buy nothing. My sister will feel uncomfortable if she doesn't have enough to eat!"
Xia Qiyue almost couldn't help laughing when she said this. It was so vivid. Ke'er was worried that she wouldn't have enough to eat, and Xuan'er was also worried that her sister wouldn't have enough to eat. They were also frightened by the famine in the past few years.
Yes, there is a shadow in my heart.
"Does Xuan'er know that there is a saying that there is a golden house in the book?"
Xia Qiyue looked at Xuan'er with a smile, waiting for his answer.
"Mother, is this house made of gold?" Xuan'er's little eyes lit up, and she unconsciously hugged the travel diary in her arms tightly.
Xia Qiyue laughed and nodded, "Absolutely, that's what it means!"
Isn’t that what it means? Learning knowledge is wealth.
"Mother... Xuan'er looked for a long time, but couldn't find a house made of gold!" Xuan'er said to Xia Qiyue in an especially low voice.
Xia Qiyue replied naturally, "That's because Xuan'er hasn't understood the meaning of this book yet. You don't know the words on it yet, so of course you can't find them. When Xuan'er recognizes the words and becomes enlightened, you will naturally be able to
I can find it! Xuan'er, do you want to learn? Do you want to read?"
"Yes! Xuan'er wants to learn. When Xuan'er finds a house made of gold, my sister will no longer have to worry about going hungry!"
There is a house made of gold. If you hang a little gold from any corner and sell it, it will be enough for my sister to eat.
Xuan'er was extremely happy in her heart.
Then I thought, "Mom, how come a house made of so much gold is still being sold? Is this book particularly expensive?"
Xia Qiyue didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Xuan'er was still too young, and it was useless to tell him too profound knowledge, so let's do it like this. First, buy a few enlightenment books, and then buy a few picture books, and wait until the houses in Baijia Village are built.
Then ask a master to enlighten him.
It was a little early to send her to the academy because she was afraid that the children would not be able to take care of her.
Yes, that is, the children. She wants her two daughters to go to school, and she is determined not to be that illiterate girl who only knows how to do housework, help her husband, and educate her children.
So, he asked Xuan'er to select a few books with more pictures, and then walked up to the bookstore boss and said, "Boss, give me three sets of enlightenment books!"
The owner of the bookshop looked at Xia Qiyue with special admiration, "Young lady is really good at teaching children. I believe that these children are not just ordinary things. You must train them carefully, young lady!"
Xia Qiyue just smiled, "A child like this can't see it. Let's take a look! Add three more sets of study and four treasures! Calculate the total money!"
Although the bookstore owner likes Xuan'er very much and appreciates Xia Qiyue's way of educating children, business is business. He bought three sets of enlightenment books in total, namely, Three Character Classic, Thousand Character Classic, Hundred Family Surnames and Disciple Rules
Four books and three sets add up to thirty-six taels of silver, plus three sets of the Four Treasures of the Study. Xia Qiyue bought all the best ones. Three sets cost thirty-six taels. Xuan'er picked three more books, which cost fifteen taels.
I have to say that studying is too expensive. I spent so much on just this thing. No wonder the clan has not been able to produce a scholar for so many years. It is too expensive. More than eighty taels of silver. How much work does this have to do?
You can earn it back in a year. This is just the beginning. The more expensive it is, the more expensive it is. Why rush for the exam? Spring-style, autumn-style, provincial-style rural exams, Tongsheng, Xiucai, Juren, and Jinshi. How can a farmer afford it?
?
After coming out of the academy, Ke'er was still distressed about the eighty-one taels of silver she had spent.
"Mom, do you still have any money?" Ke'er pouted and looked aggrieved, holding Xia Qiyue's hand and asked.
Xia Qiyue asked her funnyly, "What's wrong? Does Ke'er want to buy anything else?"
But Ke'er shook her head and said no, she didn't buy anything.
"Mother, my sister is worried that she will go hungry without the money!" Ling'er explained from the side.
Xuan'er retorted righteously, "Sister, mother didn't spend money indiscriminately. What she bought was a gold house. Do you know what a gold house is? Brother, I tell you, it is a house made of gold! Wait until we understand.
With this book and a house made of gold, what do you want to eat?"
Xia Qiyue held her forehead. She seemed to have done a great thing invisibly. The only way to correct the mistake was to rely on the master.
Naturally, you can understand the truth that "the book has its own golden house, and the book has its own beauty like jade".
After hearing her brother's explanation, Ke'er stopped pouting and happily jumped forward.
In the afternoon, mother and son were tired of shopping. Xia Qiyue suddenly remembered that the man in black she had rescued should have left, right? It had been four days, and there was only one day left before the appointment to collect the money. I didn’t know that guy.
Did you promise to put some money aside for her?
It was said that it was an agreement, but it was just that she left a note for people to pay back the money, but they did not promise that she would pay back the money.
Speaking of the man in black, An Zichen, after waking up, simply ate some food brought by the waiter and dragged his injured leg out of the inn with difficulty.
According to the information in the letter, he buried one hundred taels of silver on the last hitching post, along with the crooked letter, which had two extra words 'thank you'
Although the clothes on his body are clean, they are a bit too short. He is a head taller than Xia Xinghe. Wearing these clothes, he looks like he has stolen the new clothes of the neighbor's child. He can't help attracting attention when walking outside.
.
However, he was busy with work and there was no time for him to buy clothes and change into clothes. With his leg injured, he went to the carriage and horse shop, bought a carriage or two, pretended to be a coachman and rushed to the capital.
The third prince colluded with the Huns to invade the border repeatedly, and they cooperated internally and externally, causing heavy losses to the soldiers of Dongchu and making the people on the border miserable. Now that he had found out about it, he had to fight to the death to pass the news back to feel at ease.
An Zichen had a hard time walking the short twenty-kilometer journey from Jiuli Town to the capital. He inevitably encountered two waves of pursuers along the way. When he arrived at the gate of Wu'an Gongfu, he could no longer bear it and fainted.
If Zheng Ying, who had entered the palace to discuss military affairs, had not returned in time, An Zichen would have been silenced at the gate of Wu'an Palace.
"General, it's Major General An!" Chang Sui beside Zheng Ying recognized the person lying at the door of the mansion at a glance and spoke eagerly.
Zheng Ying's aura suddenly changed, he quickly dismounted and ran towards An Zichen, but An Zichen was already unconscious.
"Quickly, call the imperial doctor! Send him to the mansion!"
