Chapter 40: Let All the Sisters Study

Xue Langjing said to everyone with a serious face, "Eldest sister, second sister, let's all come and study together, I have saved a lot of silver at present, and now there is no hurry to start the house, except for one or two copies of the bride price, the rest is enough for all of us to study." Anyway, we don't do scientific research, in addition to pen, ink, paper, inkstone, there is not much additional cost, it will not cost too much money, can read and hyphenate is not much better than not knowing anything and being blind? ”

Let them go to school too?

The sisters of the Xue family never imagined that they would be able to study one day, so when Xiao Ba said this, they were shocked for a while.

After a long time, Xue Huanjing, the little fifth who was about to come back to her senses, asked her in disbelief, "Little Ba, do you mean to let our sisters also come to study and learn calligraphy?" This, how much does it cost! Also, we still have to work every day, and we don't have much time to study, and studying not only costs money but also delays our time to work, will grandma agree? ”

Studying, such a good thing, of course she thought about it, but it was really unrealistic for their sisters.

Regarding their worries, Xue Langjing was noncommittal, "What's this, didn't the big guys think it's impossible to do anything before, and in the end they still agreed." Besides, I spend my own money, and my grandmother can't do anything about it, and I will give a lot of the money that should be given, whether it is the bride price or the house, and the daily food expenses for the family, and I will not add a little burden to the family. ”

Xue Langjing had actually thought about this a long time ago, but if she had said it before, the impact on her grandmother would be too great, and they might not agree, so they would take it slowly one by one.

While constantly letting them see their abilities and improve their voice at home, she saved money to increase her bargaining chips.

You have the right to speak and the confidence, as long as you don't step on their bottom line, you can speak well, and you can get things done one by one.

Isn't that what I said before, and I just took advantage of the stall that brought such a large amount of income to my family yesterday to talk about it.

At this time, grandparents will inevitably talk better, and they will not say when they will wait at this time.

It's not just a matter of their studying, but when this thing is done steadily, she also wants to persuade everyone to follow her to keep fit, just like the Zheng clan, their Zheng women, just pull one out at will, no worse than ordinary men.

Her goal is for her sisters to become like the Zheng women, who can make their own decisions about their own lives.

Of course, the matter of studying is not as simple as talking, and there are still many questions in front of them.

For example, the second sister Xue Shanjing expressed her worries.

"Xiaoba, if you have the opportunity, and it won't cause too much burden to you, we are naturally willing to study, but we still have to work, such as laundry and cooking, and herbs are now a big source of income for our family, this thing must not be sloppy, we have to serve them carefully every day, there are not many fields at home, and they have to be used to grow rice and grain, we can't grow too many vegetables, we can't buy them all at once, although there are not many wild vegetables outside, but you can dig more or less, and you have to do embroidery work, and there is not enough time."

The eldest sister Xue Linjing also added, "What about Mr., if you want to study, you can't find Mr., not to mention that it costs a lot of money, you want to find a place to find it, who would want to teach us a group of female dolls, if there is no Mr., you are the only one in our family who has studied, you can't let Xiaoba teach you, even if you want to teach, you don't have that time, you have to hunt during the day, just finish a little effort, you still have to study by yourself, is it difficult for you not to hunt, teach us at home?" It's no wonder that grandma can't pick our skin! ”

"That's it, that's it."

The other sisters followed suit.

Xue Langjing naturally considered the question they said, "I really don't have time, but I'm not the only one in our family who has studied, have you forgotten Sister Qianyue, you can let her sister teach." ”

As she spoke, she turned her head to look at Jiang Qianyue, "Sister Qianyue, I remember that you also studied." ”

"Me? I can't do it, at my level, where can I teach my sisters", Jiang Qianyue, who was looking at everyone expectantly, hurriedly shook her head, she can't do it, let her teach, isn't it a mistake?

Xue Langjing hurriedly cheered her up, "Capable of doing it, capable of doing it, you listen to me carefully, we are not pursuing how good it is to teach, we are mainly seeking to read and break words, understand letters, and write some simple and commonly used words, you only need to teach everyone what you know, and yourself, I will talk to Old Man Zhang and let you go to him to learn, so that you will always have something to teach the eldest sister and them?" When our conditions are good in the future, we can also directly invite him to teach, Old Man Zhang is very good, and he will not refuse to teach our female dolls, as long as he gives him money. ”

Jiang Qianyue still shook her head, feeling that it was not feasible, and said a little unconfidently, "But, but I am a widowed woman, and it is not good to get along with foreign men often, and I really don't know much." ”

"What's this, it's all from the villagers, and Old Man Zhang is an old man, he is not alone in his family, and his wife is here, what is there to worry about, don't I also go to his house twice in three days, how can anyone say it, it's just your own nonsense, and even if someone is idle and has nothing to do, then don't pay attention to it", in this regard, Xue Langjing didn't think it was a matter at all.

"But..."

She still hesitated.

Without waiting for her to refuse, Xue Langjing interrupted her words and continued, "If you don't refuse, I'll take you as an agreement." So, Sister Qianyue, what books have you read, let me see what you can teach. ”

Jiang Qianyue, who couldn't refuse, had no choice but to tell the truth, "The only ones who can read and write are the three-character scriptures and the surnames of the hundred families, and the women are more proficient in training and reciting women's precepts, but they can't write." ”

"Can the three-character scripture and the hundred family names be interpreted?"

"Yes."

"That's okay, then let's teach the three-character scripture first, I'll go and talk to the old man tomorrow to see how you can teach it appropriately." As for women, there is no need to teach women's precepts, we are not allowed to learn them, and Sister Qianyue, you have forgotten them yourself, these things are harmful, and the content in them cannot be believed, so forget about them", the next three books, Xue Langjing sneered at them, and she would not let her sisters learn this.

"What about the time, we have so many things to do", the eldest sister Xue Linjing couldn't help but remind her again.

"This is easy to do, we don't dig wild vegetables, we don't do embroidery, these are not necessary. And the necessary household chores such as laundry and cooking, if there are nine of you, it will not take too long to divide one point evenly. In addition, the most laborious thing is to play the whole herb, but it will not take up a whole day, let's divide the time reasonably, and take a specific time to read and practice in the morning and afternoon, if you are afraid of accidents, we can arrange one person every day, let her deal with it, and the others will go to class as usual, and the progress she has fallen behind, you can find Sister Qianyue to tutor, sister, the eight of you take turns to arrange..."

Then, Xue Langjing explained her plan to them one by one, and the sisters discussed it together to improve the plan.
