When he left in the morning, he didn't agree with Jiang Fuzi that San Lang and they would only study for half a day, and Situ Yan was afraid that Jiang Fuzi would ask questions, so he stopped at a place where there was still a street away from the county school, and only asked Li Dalang to pick up San Lang and Shiro.

In fact, Situ Yan is really too cautious, San Lang and Shiro have long been waiting at the gate of the county school, during the break in teaching, San Lang has already found Jiang Fuzi, discussed only half a day of study, Jiang Fuzi took into account the actual situation in the homes of several people, and was not embarrassed, but told San Lang to practice more words after going home, no matter how you are high and rich in the scientific examination, if you write the words can not enter the eyes of the invigilator. and assigned Saburo and Shiro a five-page homework.

Li Dalang picked up San Lang and Shilang and a few people, and then left the county seat and returned to Lijia Village.

"Third brother, did Master Jiang ask anything later?" Situ Yan was still a little worried, afraid that Jiang Fuzi would be suspicious of her.

"No, don't worry, Xiao Wu, I think Jiang Fuzi is very good." In fact, today San Lang was also surprised by Situ Yan's cleverness and politeness, and her ease of response. I also saw the gap between myself and my little sister more, I learned a lot of knowledge from the book these days, and I also followed Situ Yan to understand the reason, and broadened my horizons, he could understand what the little sister was afraid of, just on the mule cart home, San Lang had already taught Shiro a hard lesson, which made Shiro understand that today he sold his little sister. was so ashamed that as soon as he returned home, he ran to fetch water to work, and he didn't even dare to talk to Situ Yan.

"I hope so! I still don't go to the county school in the future. Situ Yan was talking to San Lang, and Da Lang unloaded the mule cart, and then went into the stove room to find Situ Yan.

"Xiao Wu, today in the teahouse, I see that you seem to be listening to what others are saying, I seem to be talking about the border city, and I don't understand much, is there something wrong?"

"No, big brother, don't worry, the livelihood of this spring silver silk vegetable has also stopped, I saw all beggars on the street today, and I didn't see anything to sell, so I thought about going to the teahouse to listen, see what those businessmen were talking about, and see if I could think of adding another livelihood to the family." Situ Yan didn't want to tell her brothers about the turmoil in the current affairs of the imperial court, so that they wouldn't worry about it.

"I said, I saw you drinking tea and listening to the sound, and I was still strange." Li Dalang, who was accustomed to Situ Yan's housekeeper, didn't notice the worry flashing in Situ Yan's eyes. Turned around and walked out of the stove room to find Erlang, "I don't know where the second child has gone?" ”

Although San Lang didn't notice Situ Yan's abnormality, he had a feeling that the little sister wouldn't go to the teahouse to listen to the wall root for this, but he couldn't think of what it was for, seeing that the little sister was busy cooking lunch, he didn't ask carefully and squatted by the stove to help light the fire.

In the evening, the village is coming, Situ Yan has expected that the village will come, this village originally only the village Zheng, the patriarch and Li Daniu's family Zhaocai are studying in the county school, and now there are more San Lang and Shilang, for Li Jia Village, it is a big deal, so in the evening the village heard his son say that San Lang and Shi Lang also went to the county school to study today, and they didn't even bother to eat and ran to inquire.

"Uncle Wangfu, my family also had some harvest in the field last year, and sold some things, although I paid the endowment, but there are still a few taels, so I want my brothers to read more books, and they can also understand things and argue about them."

"Girl, this bundle of cultivation is not just handed over once, you have to pay corn every month, and you have to give a gift to the master on the New Year's Day, have you prepared it?"

"I'm ready, even if I don't have it at home for a while, I just have to think of a way to make a living."

"That's okay, I can have two more children in this village who are reading, that's also a matter of long faces, San Lang and Shiro are studying in this county school, can they be the same as in the village, do you want to know etiquette and be obedient? You can't embarrass our village. Otherwise, Uncle won't agree. ”

"Uncle Murazheng, don't worry, I and Xiaosi are obedient, Jiang Fuzi also praised us for being 'sensitive and studious', and this bundle of money for repair was made up by Xiao Wuzi for us, if I don't study hard, what face will I see Xiao Wu again."

The village is relieved when he heard San Lang say this, and before going out, he also told them to follow the little sheep to take an ox cart to the county school every day, Situ Yan felt that this was good, and thanked him for a few words before sending the village to leave.

When the people were far away, Situ Yan asked San Lang, "Third brother, has Master Jiang praised others?" ”

"Nope. Just boast about me and Xiaosi, what's wrong? ”

"Then the third brother should be more careful in the future, this master's praise shows that you and the fourth brother are hard enough, but it will also make other students unconvinced, and they will more or less target you. After all, you're new students. ”

"Why? It's not for me to let the master boast. ”

"This is human nature, they have been in the school longer than you, and they think they have learned more than you, and some people are from rich families, and they already look down on people like us, and where can you see that you are better than them, so the third and fourth brothers will study in the county in the future, in addition to studying hard, they must be more careful, don't let people calculate."

"Little Five, am I in trouble?"

"It's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, I taught my brothers before, to be low-key, we don't take the initiative to cause trouble, but we're not afraid of things. I just don't want to let things come to the door and cause trouble. But if something really happens, one is to be calm and calm, and the other is to be calm and not surprised, so that you can see clearly and deal with it properly. It is impossible to lack self-confidence, which makes people deceive. ”

The four brothers sat on the kang and listened, the little sister had said these words before, but a few people didn't quite understand it at the time, but now they finally understood, and at first their expectations for the county school were a little lighter, and Shiro wanted to go home and study with Situ Yan. Situ Yan naturally refused, she retreated when she encountered something, but it was not her character, what she wanted to teach a few people was that she had to find a way to solve it when she encountered difficulties, how could she retreat when she was a manly husband. Of course, this does not include times when lives are at stake.

Situ Yan asked what Jiang Fuzi taught, there are three masters in the county school, one surnamed Zhang is enlightened to the children who have just entered the school, and the other is surnamed Wei Juren, who specializes in teaching scriptures and history to Xiucai, and the other is that Jiang Fuzi is not very good at teaching Wei Fuzi, although Jiang Fuzi is a Xiucai, but he is more liked by the students, and Jiang Fuzi is teaching "University" at this time.

The book "University" Situ Yan only copied it once when she copied the book in the bookstore, and she had some impressions, so she told the four brothers about her understanding of the book, and as for some details, she had to let Jiang Fuzi teach her. San Lang also told Da Lang and Erlang what Jiang Fuzi said today, and occasionally Shiro also added it, that is, San Lang and Shi Lang had one more opportunity to review after class, deepened their impression, and let Da Lang and Erlang learn new knowledge.

Next, until the twenty-seventh day of the first month, the land was civilized, San Lang and Shiro had to wait for a few days to have a spring ploughing holiday, these days San Lang and Shiro went to the county school with the little sheep brothers in the morning, Li Dalang would drive the mule cart to pick up at noon, and in their free time, the brothers drove the mule to plough and fertilize and water the land in the backyard first, because the cattle of the village family had to wait for another half a month to rent, so the official field also had to slow down a few days to break ground.

The four brothers were busy plowing the land, and Situ Yan was busy raising seedlings, because there were piles of grain and feed in the upside-down room, so Situ Yan put the seedling bed into the stove room and the clean room.

On the third day after the spring equinox on February 12, three acres of paddy fields in the backyard have been irrigated and transplanted, and seedlings have been planted on three acres of dry land. The official cattle of the Muramasa family have also been brought back, San Lang and Shiro have begun to take a break from spring ploughing, and Li Dalang led his younger brothers to plough the official fields, fertilize and water them, and put the seeds soaked by Situ Yan into the ground.

Last year, there were a few heavy snowfalls, but the spring equinox has just passed, and the peach trees and spring are all full of branches, and the original flowering period of a month can be fully bloomed in a few days, which is not a normal natural phenomenon at all. Situ Yan was even more worried, she had seen such a natural phenomenon as flowers and trees in her previous life from the news. This phenomenon of flower trees usually thinks that they are dying of thirst before they will bloom and leave their most beautiful moments. It can be seen that this year will be a year of great drought. Therefore, in addition to storing snow water, two more water cellars were dug at the edge of the official field.

And the seedlings were raised nearly ten days earlier than last year, so that the backyard land will be harvested a few days earlier than last year. In order to prevent the early seedlings from freezing and dying, Situ Yan usually gets up and piles them on the firewood pile at the edge of the backyard field until the sun rises and the temperature warms up. This is spring, and the firewood is more fierce than in winter, for this, Li Dalang and a few people also got up half an hour earlier than usual, and went into the mountains to collect firewood after punching.

Early in the morning of February 27, Situ Yan woke up to a burst of swallow crying, and the swallow couple who went back to the south for the winter last year flew back again, so happy that Situ Yan called Li Dalang to come and see together. It's just that the snow wolf squatted under the bird's nest and roared, as if he was a little jealous of Situ Yan's liking for swallows.

After breakfast and sacrificed to the ancestral grave, the brothers went down to the field to get busy. After the Qingming Festival, the weather is a little warmer, and there is no need to start early to drive away the frost, Situ Yan has the spirit to carry the basket into the mountain after resting, and pick herbs for half a day to find water by the way, which is what she must do every day. Of course, with the snow wolf, Situ Yan will go farther into the mountains, and the herbs she finds will be more and more precious. It's just that Situ Yan has never sold herbs again, and all the herbs he picked back have been concocted and put into the ring, preparing for opening a pharmacy in the future.

From Li Dalang to the village to bring the cattle back, his family's official field has never stopped the people who inquire. The people in the village also learned from somewhere that although there was a drought last year, the grain in Li Dalang's field was harvested nearly a month earlier than others'. So everyone in the village came to see what was going on.

On the first day of March, the men who had served in the village returned. Seeing that Li Dalang began to plough the land and turn over the soil, they also followed.
