The old man of the Chen family agreed repeatedly, and invited the county magistrate to the house for a light meal, and the two talked and laughed and left.

"Are you here today for something?" Steward Zhang waited until he couldn't hear the sound outside the door before turning around and asking Shang Qianlan.

Shang Qianlan nodded, "I'll come and withdraw some silver, fifty taels." ”

After returning Yu Zishi's silver, she still wanted to buy something for her family, and she couldn't help but use money.

Steward Zhang called two people, asked one to go to the account room to get the silver, and sent the other to the backyard to call Yu Zishi. When Yu Zishi entered the door just now, he noticed that it was a fresh face, as early as when Aunt Sun told the eldest young master about family affairs, he had to be instructed by the master to check the situation of the Shang family, so he could conclude that Yu Zishi was definitely not a member of the Shang family.

Looking at Shang Qianlan, who looked more and more watery, Steward Zhang guessed in his heart that she might have experienced something big recently, but the idea only stopped in his heart and did not say it.

A moment later, Yu Zishi followed the workers out of the backyard, followed by the steward of the farm tool factory.

"Otherwise, I'll give you food and lodging, and I'll give you an extra ten wen a month, how about it?" The steward smiled and stretched out a finger to Yu Zishi.

Hearing this, Steward Zhang and Shang Qianlan both cast curious glances.

"I'm not coming, you don't have to say it." Yu Zishi had a headache, he just saw a worker in the backyard pulling wood from the pile of wood in the wrong position, seeing that the wood was about to fall down, he kindly went over to hold it, but he didn't expect to be targeted by the steward because of this.

The steward had already adjusted the conditions to no higher level, so he could only give up with a regretful face.

The workers who went to the account room hadn't come back yet, Shang Qianlan took the opportunity to ask Steward Zhang, "I heard that the old man has two sons under his knees, one of whom is less than ten years old, I want to ask Uncle Zhang, where is the little young master studying?" ”

She didn't know much about Tongzhong Township, and she probably couldn't get any news from Yu Zishi when she asked about the academy.

Steward Zhang knew everything about the Chen family, and immediately replied, "The little young master is studying in the academy in the north of the city, and in addition to the academy where the young master is located, there are two good ones in Tongzhong Township, if you want to take a look, I will give you the address, and you can inquire." ”

As he spoke, he told Shang Qianlan the addresses of the two academies, and also told him about the fees charged by the Chengbei Academy.

After he finished speaking, the workers also came back with the silver, Shang Qianlan thanked Steward Zhang, and then pulled Yu Zishi out of the farm tool factory.

Yu Zishi went out to untie the rope on the cow and guided the ox to turn around, and the place where the ox cart was heading was the road to Chengbei Academy.

Shang Qianlan, who saw his intentions clearly, smiled slightly, although Yu Zishi didn't say much, but he was really good.

Before the two of them saw the gate of the Chengbei Academy, they saw a crowd of people surrounding the gate of the academy, and the voices of discussion came and went.

"Isn't this man fooling around? What's wrong with the master driving the child out, does he want the girl to study with the boy? ”

"Isn't it better for a little girl to go home and learn to do laundry and cook than to be literate? I blame the Master for being kicked out, and I want to say that the Master did the right thing! ”

"Hurry up and lead your sister home, shame on you."

“......”

From these few words, Shang Qianlan learned that someone was making trouble here because the academy did not accept girls, and the more she listened to those people's discussions, the tighter her brows wrinkled. She knew that the ancients admired that women were virtuous if they were not talented, but there was no need to have such malice towards women's admission.

She followed the crowd and squeezed forward, and finally saw the man who was making trouble, there were a few people in the crowd who knew men, and it was said that his name was Jiang Wei.

Shang Qianlan's heart moved, this person has the same name as Jiang Wei, the general of Shu?

"Your master says that you treat everyone equally, and my sister is different from the child sitting in the house?" Jiang Weiyang pointed to the inside of the academy, and at this time, an eight-year-old child poked his head out of it, and hurriedly retracted it when he saw this.

"It's full of boys, what's the use of girls going to school? Picking a husband since childhood? There was a sudden sound of ridicule from the crowd, causing the onlookers to laugh, and when the man saw this, he said a few words that were unbearable, and his face was still proud.

Hearing this, Shang Qianlan's forehead was bruised, but there were still a few women around who echoed the man's meaning.

Jiang Wei ran into the crowd angrily, grabbed the man's collar and pressed him to the ground, his fists whirring, and even Shang Qianlan, who was two steps away, could hear it clearly.

Everyone saw that the matter was big, some came forward to persuade them, and some were afraid that the matter would be big and quickly slipped away.

"Big brother might as well listen to my advice, he insults and harms morality in the street, but you hurt yourself when you do it." Shang Qianlan saw that the man was beaten by Jiang Wei and his nose was blue and his face was swollen, and she was worried that Jiang Wei would suffer a lawsuit because of this, so she stepped forward and persuaded, "The master here doesn't accept your sister, just go to another house and find another master, do you want your sister to go to see you in prison?" ”

Jiang Wei's wave of his hand gradually slowed down, he glanced at Shang Qianlan deeply, wiped his fist with the clothes of the man on the ground, and walked away.

"Let's go back." Shang Qianlan also lost her good impression of this academy after this incident, and she was very worried.

Shang Liang is a boy, so she and Na never thought that in this era, it would be so difficult for the daughter of an ordinary family to read and write. In the depression, there is a faint sense of luck, it is good that she can still have the knowledge of her previous life.

"Do you think that a woman is virtuous if she is not talented?" Shang Qianlan got into the ox cart, looked at Yu Zishi's broad back, and suddenly asked.

Yu Zishi looked back at her, he hadn't thought about this, but now he felt that it was good for a woman to be there, just like the person in front of him.

"I don't know, but it's not a bad thing for women to be talented." Yu Zishi revealed his heart, waved the whip in his hand, and drove the ox towards the way he came.

Shang Qianlan raised her eyebrows, "Why?" ”

"It's good to be like you, and you can support your own home when things happen." Yu Zishi didn't look back this time, and a smile spread on his lips.

Is this praising her?

The haze in Shang Qianlan's heart was suddenly swept away, just like eating maple leaf candy, sweet.

When the two returned to Qinghe Village, the sun had completely set, the path was narrow and there were many stones, Shang Qianlan was afraid of accidents, so she asked Yu Zishi to go back from the main road in Qinghe Village.

It can be said that the road is narrow, and when the two went to the main street of the village, they met Cong Xinmiao, Shang Jiaojiao and a group of daughters talking and laughing on the side of the road. The moment she looked at Xinmiao, Shang Qianlan understood that she was hated.

As if he hadn't seen anything, Yu Zishi drove directly to Xinmiao in an ox cart.

"You stay away from Congxin Miao in the future."

Shang Qianlan had just jumped off the ox cart, and suddenly heard Yu Zishi say this, and couldn't help but raise her eyes to look at him, and quipped, "You also know that your good sister has a grudge against me?" ”

When did he become his good sister from Xinmiao? Yu Zishi's eyelids jumped, this girl is really nonsense.

"She's not my sister, and I don't know her well." Yu Zishi felt that he needed to explain, saving Shang Qianlan from misunderstanding, "When my father brought me back from the mountain, Xinmiao's eldest brother helped a lot, and her brother is very good, but she, you still have to pay attention." ”
