"Oh, that's great, I can read. ”

Zhou Xianren, who was already 10 years old, was very excited, and rushed out with a scream, "I can also eat and dress well like my uncle, and I don't have to work!"

Anne stumbled on her feet and nearly fell to the ground.

Looking at Zhou Xianren's cheerful back, the corners of Anne's mouth twitched: Bear child!

However, Zhou Xianren's "fairy tales" reminded Anne of one thing.

She glanced lightly at Zhou Yaozu's two sons, Zhou Xiande and Zhou Xiancheng, and the two and a half teenagers shivered, and a bad premonition surged in their hearts.

"Xianggong, you really don't study anymore?"

Liu was so worried that she didn't have the heart to pay attention to the two children, and as soon as she returned to the room, she asked anxiously.

"It's not that I don't study, I just don't go to the academy. Anne corrected it, she received all of Zhou Yaozu's memories, so it was clear that with Zhou Yaozu's current situation, there was not much difference between going to the academy and not going to the academy.

Instead of wasting money by going to the academy, it is better to study at home.

If you encounter problems with your coursework, you can go to the government school to ask for advice.

Yes, there is an official school in Qi County, and if you go to an official school, you can not only be exempted from tuition, but also have a pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

However, the teachers of the official school are obviously not as good as Qingyun Academy, so students who want to go further in the imperial examination will try their best to go to Qingyun Academy as long as their family conditions allow.

"How can I not go to the academy?"

Liu is not as optimistic as Anne, she thinks that Zhou Yaozu is studying in the academy, and he can't pass the exam, if he goes home, wouldn't it be even more hopeless?!

"Xianggong, if you're worried about the money, I, I'll go back to my parents' house and think of a way. ”

Liu grabbed Anne's hand, and there was even a hint of pleading in her tone.

Anne was so close to her "wife" that she was uncomfortable.

It's not that she hasn't had intimate contact with people of the same sex who are not related by blood, but those people are more girlfriends and elders than her rightful wife.

Although in the 60 world, Anne has been married, she is not really an innocent girl who doesn't know anything.

However, I don't know how the system is set up, once she leaves that mission world, she is stripped of all memories and feelings.

She only remembers marrying someone in the 60 world, but she has no memory of the specific married life and her past with Feng Che.

Now, even if someone presents that scene to her, she will only treat it as if she had watched a TV series, and the only thing that touched her was that the heroine in the play looked very similar to her.

Dressing as a married person is acceptable to Anne, but dressing as a person of the opposite sex and being a husband and wife of the same sex really can't adapt to it.

Her body was a little stiff, and Anne used a little strength to break her hand away from Liu's hand, and then said, "Don't trouble your father-in-law anymore." Over the years, my father-in-law has helped us a lot, and I am also a man, and I can't always rely on my parents and elders. ”

Anne is not afraid that she will show flaws if she says this, because the original owner, Zhou Yaozu, is a very good talker.

Even in front of the Liu family, he never said anything bad about anyone in the family. Not to mention that some people will not get the benefits of their brothers, and they will tell their wives in private that their brothers are stupid.

Sometimes the Liu family said a few words of gossip about the concubines, and Zhou Yaozu would tell her in a righteous and stern manner: Don't be like this, you want a harmonious family!

No matter what wrong things he has done, Zhou Yaozu can also speak in a high-sounding and justified manner.

Many things, in fact, everyone understands what the situation is, such as Zhou Yaozu occasionally going to the Qinglou.

But this kind of thing, after a circle in Zhou Yaozu's mouth, it has become a helpless move to communicate with his classmates - everyone has gone, if he doesn't go, wouldn't it be too unsociable?

Don't look at him as a scumbag, but he has a good mouth. This is also one of the reasons why the Zhou family is willing to support him for more than ten years.

Therefore, at this moment, Anne is so considerate and sensible, Liu does not feel strange at all.

She still didn't give up, and continued: "I still have some money in my hand, which was originally reserved for Xiande to marry his daughter-in-law. He's only thirteen years old now, and it's going to be years before he can use it. Why don't I bring it to you first?"

Anne shook her head and said firmly, "I'm not going to the academy, I'll go to the city in the afternoon to talk to the mountain chief." ”

Liu persuaded for a long time, and her mouth was dry, but seeing that Anne just didn't change her words, she finally died.

"Xianggong, I, I want to go back to my parents' house. ”

After that, Liu didn't wait for Anne to express his position, and went straight to pack his luggage.

Anne didn't stop her, and watched as Liu packed a small bag, didn't bring a single child, and left Zhou's house by herself.

Liu would have such a reaction, Anne had already guessed.

The Liu family is a well-known wealthy family in Qi County, with more than a dozen shops under its name, and it cannot be said that it is the richest man in Qi County, and it is also among the top three businessmen.

The Liu family was rich, but they had little social status.

Shinong businessmen, no matter how rich they are, they can't wear silk and satin in a bright way.

Therefore, the Liu family wanted to change their background, but unfortunately their son was not the material for studying, so Master Liu hit his daughter with the idea.

Master Liu has a total of two daughters, and the eldest daughter is Liu.

At that time, the Liu family had just turned twelve years old, and there was a thirteen-year-old talent in the county.

Master Liu felt that this poor boy from a mountain village had potential, so he wanted to marry his daughter to Zhou Yaozu.

Master Liu is shrewd, and Zhou Jingxian is not a fool.

I was only thirteen years old, and three years later, if I was selected for the exam again, I would only be sixteen years old.

It is also extremely rare for a sixteen-year-old person to look at the entire provincial capital.

At that time, I don't know how many daughters of good families are vying to marry his family Yaozu, and no matter how lucky they are, they can marry an official lady.

There is no need to set up a marriage early.

Master Liu asked someone to quietly send a letter to the Zhou family, but there was no reply, and Master Liu knew that the Zhou family was waiting for the price to sell, and he was disappointed, so he put the matter aside.

Three years later, Zhou Yaozu participated in the township examination but lost his name to Sun Shan.

Someone outside began to say that he "hurt Zhongyong", and the Zhou family really didn't have much money, and they couldn't even make up the next year's bundles.

To add insult to injury, Zhou Jing was stimulated first and fell ill again. The family didn't even have the money to get medicine.

Master Liu came up at the right time, helped to find a doctor, and generously gave medicine, which really made the Zhou family very grateful.

After Zhou Jingxian recovered from his illness, he asked the matchmaker to go to Liu's house to propose marriage.

Of course, Zhou Jingxian did not lose his son's marriage because of the little favor of the Liu family, but Zhou Yaozu's failure this time poured cold water on him.

made him see the reality clearly - the middle lift was by no means as easy as he imagined.

If you don't hit this time, you may miss next time.

But the Zhou family really has no money, and they can't afford Zhou Yaozu at all.

It was different to marry the daughter of the Liu family, the Liu family promised to marry the Liu family with a set of county mansions, and also promised to subsidize Zhou Yaozu with fifty taels of silver every year for studying.

When I rush to take the exam, I will also help prepare for the entanglement.

It was also with the help of the Liu family that Zhou Yaozu could continue to study in the academy and participate in the township examination again and again.

However, this situation did not last long.

After all, the money of the Liu family is not blown by the wind, and there is no reason to give it to a son-in-law to squander.

Especially the second daughter of the Liu family is also married to a scholar, and the scholar has passed this year's college examination and becomes a showman, the Liu family is even more reluctant to fill the bottomless pit of the Zhou family.

This time Zhou Yaozu rushed to take the exam, and the Liu family did not give out the silver as happily as before, and the Liu family went several times in a row before they reluctantly asked for twenty taels of silver to come back.

But it was still not enough, so Zhou Jingxian reluctantly went to borrow twelve taels of silver from the clansmen.

The Liu family is willing to fund Zhou Yaozu, and the Liu family is willing to marry, all because they take a fancy to Zhou Yaozu as a high-performing stock and want to invest in advance.

As a result, more than ten years have passed, and Zhou Yaozu's pseudo-performance stock is almost smashed in his hands, whether it is the Liu family or the Liu family, his disappointment can be imagined.

Anne even suspected that Liu's return home this time was most likely to discuss with her parents and leave.

Liu's lifelong wish is to be an official's wife, and when she sees her hopes dashed, she will never be reconciled.

Let her be, just as Anne doesn't know what to do with her.

In the afternoon, Anne went to the college to go through the withdrawal procedures and said goodbye to the gentlemen.

"You still have some knowledge, it's just a little bit hot, I don't have anything to teach you, you can go back and stay at home for a few days. ”

Mr. is still a pity for Zhou Yaozu, he is obviously a good seedling, and he usually looks at him as hard, so why can't he always fail the exam.

"Thank you, sir!"

Anne felt her husband's concern and bowed deeply.

"Don't delay your studies when you go back, if you have any questions, come to the academy to find me at any time. ”

The gentleman took out a bag and handed it to Anne, "Here are some of my reading notes over the years, so I'll give them to you as a souvenir." ”

"Thank you, sir, don't worry, I will study hard and never disappoint your expectations!"

Anne took the burden with both hands and bowed ninety degrees.

Coming out of the academy, Anne happened to catch a glimpse of Zhou Zhou, a classmate who invited Zhou Yaozu to the gambling house yesterday.

Unlike yesterday's relaxed and casual, today's Zhou Zhou was a little anxious. Seeing that he seemed to come out of the direction of the school, Anne couldn't help but guess: This person wouldn't have gone to the schoolhouse to find Zhou Yaozu.

Also, they laid the bait yesterday, and today they need to take Zhou Yaozu's fish to the gambling house to continue to lure.

Thinking of this, Anne hooked her lips maliciously and walked towards Zhou Zhou.

An hour later, Anne came out of the gambling house with a hundred taels of silver in her hand.

As soon as he walked to the gate of the county seat, he was chased by the servants of the Liu family.

"Uncle, aunt,"

The servant panted and said, "The little one has been looking for you in the academy for a long time, but he can't find anyone, but fortunately, someone said that he saw you coming to the city gate, so the little one came to find you." ”

"What are you looking for me?" Anne had guessed, but asked with a hint of confusion.

"That's right, I, my wife, is sick, and the eldest lady wants to stay at home for a few days and serve her well. The servant looked a little evasive.

"What, my mother-in-law is sick? Does it matter? Shall I go see her old man?" Anne was anxious, like a good and filial son-in-law.

"No, no, Mrs. is not seriously ill, she just misses the eldest lady, so-" The servant hurriedly waved his hand to stop Anne from running towards Liu's house.

Anne paused and asked uneasily, "Are you really okay?"

"It's okay, it's okay!"

Anne breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, as long as the old man is okay." Heck, it's not too early, so I'll go back first. You bring a message to my mother-in-law, so that she can rest assured that she will stay at her mother's house to take care of her mother-in-law, and she doesn't have to worry about family affairs. ”

"Yes, yes, little understood. ”

Looking at the back of the servant who was almost deserted and fled, Anne hooked her lips: Liu, you should stay in your mother's house for a few more days......
