Since she was going to ask Aunt Xie for help tomorrow, Li Miaomiao was thinking about what gifts to bring, and when she was worried, the rooster of Aunt Changlin's house next door gave her inspiration.

Yes, you can make pickled pepper chicken feet, oh, no, to be precise, it should be called pickled pepper chicken, because there aren't so many chicken feet.

said that Lei Lei took some money to Aunt Changlin's house to buy two chickens and came back, anyway, her chickens were all going to be sold in the town except for the hens that laid eggs.

She went to the corner of the house and brought the jar of pickled peppers over. When the altar seal was opened, a smell of authentic pickled pepper only drilled into the nasal cavity. I've been busy lately, and I've almost forgotten about it, and the pickling has been very successful.

When Lei Lei came back, Li Miaomiao boiled water and began to process the chickens, because she didn't dare to kill them, and what she brought back was the killed chickens.

Quickly dealt with the play, Li Miaomiao picked the part with more bones to marinate, after all, it is all meat, not to mention the taste, and the taste is not very good.

He also stewed other meaty places with potatoes and beans for dinner.

After packing up everything, he lay down in bed early3 and fell asleep.

I got up early the next morning, made breakfast, and tasted the pickled pepper chicken made yesterday, the taste was very positive, and the two children were all delicious.

I sent some to Aunt Zhang, Aunt Wang, and Aunt Changlin's family, and installed two small altars, and then set off to the town with my younger siblings.

When she arrived at Aunt Xie, Li Miaomiao first gave the prepared gifts, and Aunt Xie tasted and praised her for her good cooking skills, and when she cleaned up everything, Li Miaomiao explained her intention to Aunt Xie.

"Auntie, I came today to ask you to do me a favor, I am going to send my younger brother Lei Lei to study in the school, but I don't know much about the school in this town, I think that Aunt Xie must know more than me in the town, so I want you to help me come up with an idea."

"That's a good thing, boys should read more," he said, glancing at the guy next to him.

Li Miaomiao was a little puzzled by Aunt Xie's move.

"Auntie told you directly, there are two more famous schools in our town, Panasonic Academy and Guanglin Academy, and the gentlemen in them are also talented, and they are not bad. If you want to send Lei Lei there, I'll ask my family leader to find someone to help you ask", Aunt Xie finished speaking, and glanced at the guy next to her.

Li Miaomiao guessed that she had something to say, "Does my aunt have something to say?"

Seeing that Li Miaomiao's question was straightforward, Aunt Xie said directly, "If you want to talk about this place to study, my aunt still has a place I want to recommend to you." It's this kid's brother, if you want to talk about learning, Xiaolin's brother is not bad, but he has a bad reputation in the town."

Seeing Li Miaomiao looking at him with some questions, Xiao Lin stepped forward and explained, "My brother's reputation is for a reason," so he talked to Li Miaomiao.

It turned out that this Xiaolin's brother was already a showman, and he also won the examination last year, but he didn't expect to be impersonated by a rich son in the county, his brother was angry, and went to the county to complain, but unexpectedly, the officials and businessmen colluded, beat him and didn't say anything, and found people everywhere to ruin his reputation.

Because of his bad reputation, naturally no academy was willing to ask for him, and at the beginning, he was hired by two academies. Now I can only copy books at home and teach some children from poor families to make ends meet.

Li Miaomiao couldn't help but sigh when she heard it, modern impostors also happen from time to time, but I didn't expect the ancient ones to be so rampant.

"Actually, I don't care so much about reputation, as long as my husband has real talent and good character, I naturally hope that my younger brother can learn from such a person."

Hearing her words, Xiao Lin was overjoyed, and quickly praised his brother, "My brother is really good at learning, and this year there is a child he brought who has been admitted to Tongsheng", talking about his brother, Xiao Lin is very proud.

"Then I wonder if Brother Xiaolin can take me to meet your brother first"

"Nature, Nature"

So, Yanyan was temporarily settled in Aunt Xie's place, and the three of them went to Xiaolin's house.

Xiaolin's house is three streets away from Aunt Xie's shop, and there are no people on this street along the way, and it is exceptionally quiet.

"Our street is full of poor people, and everyone goes out to make a small living during the day, and there are no people, so it is very quiet and will not affect the children's study", Xiao Lin was particularly clever, and explained when he saw Li Miaomiao's doubts.

Being quiet during the day does not delay the children's learning, but they are all small traders, and I don't know if the security will be bad.

"Girl, don't worry, the security here is very good, my house lives next door to the big brother who is on an errand in the yamen, and the children brought by my brother are also people on our street, so they respect my family very much, and no one will make trouble", Xiaolin is simply a roundworm in Li Miaomiao's stomach.

。 Li Miaomiao felt that there was nothing to worry about, as long as she saw Mr. again.

Walking to the door of the house, Xiao Lin stepped forward and knocked on the door first, and it was a woman in her thirties who opened the door.

"Hello aunt", Li Miaomiao greeted her younger brother with her.

"Good boy, sit in the house first, Ming'er is teaching, it is estimated that there will be a cup of tea to rest, you will wait for the meeting" listened to the youngest son explain the intention, busy bringing people into the house, and thoughtfully served tea, although it is some coarse tea, but it is treasured for a long time.

There are quite a lot of houses in Xiaolin's house, it is a two-entry courtyard, the first three rooms are used as a school and a place to meet guests, and a few rooms in the backyard are used to live in people.

Lei Lei heard the sound of reading aloud next to him, and he was very envious, and kept stretching his neck to look in the direction where the sound came from.

Soon, the school break time came, and Kobayashi also called his brother over.

Xiaolin's elder brother is called Zhang Changming, he is a scholar who looks exceptionally elegant, he is only twenty years old this year, and he can be admitted to the Juren, and he is indeed a person with real knowledge.

Li Miaomiao talked to him for a few words, and found that he was in a very open mood, without the frustration and cynicism that he imagined, after all, after experiencing those unfair treatments, he could still maintain such a state of mind, and she was even more sure that she could hand over her brother to him.

He only needs three taels of silver here, and three taels of food and lodging, and he doesn't need to spend money to buy books, he only needs to prepare pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.

Li Miaomiao didn't agree immediately, saying that she would reply tomorrow, but Zhang Changming didn't care, and went back to teach after talking to them.

"Brother Xiaolin, I see that your family is not bad", out of the Zhang family, Li Miaomiao asked half-jokingly.

"It's all left by my ancestors, and I can see this house, my grandfather used to do some business, but in order to let my father take the test, he didn't become a businessman, and the business got worse and worse. After my father's death, my brother had to study, and the only house left in the family was these houses. But my brother and I can earn some money now, and we can get by. "Xiao Lin is as open-minded as his brother.

After saying goodbye to Aunt Xie, Li Miaomiao took her younger siblings to buy paper, ink, pen and inkstone. It's no wonder that they all say that reading burns money, a inkstone, two brushes, and a few knives of paper cost her more than two taels of silver.

Sent another can of pickled pepper chicken to Quanmanlou, and learned that Gu Xingyun had sent the old man back to the capital, and the return date was undecided, Li Miaomiao couldn't help but feel disappointed in her heart, she hadn't seen him for a long time, and the first love that hadn't had time to start died like this?

On the way back, looking at Lei Lei holding the pen, ink, paper and inkstone in his arms, Li Miaomiao opened her mouth and asked, "Where does Lei Lei want to study, the school is still Mr. Zhang's" She felt that she had to give the child a chance to choose by herself.

"I want to go to Mr. Zhang," Lei Lei replied.

"Why?" Li Miaomiao couldn't help but be curious.

"Mr. Zhang is a good person", he heard his sister's conversation, and he thought that Mr. was a great person.

Knowing that his younger brother had his own nickname in his heart, Li Miaomiao didn't ask any more.

When I returned to the village, I went to Aunt Wang's house first, and two of Changlin's family were also there, and the three of them were busy with work. Li Miaomiao told them about her plans.

The three of them didn't reply immediately, saying that they would wait for the head of the family to come back and discuss before making a decision.

Li Miaomiao felt that it was right, such a big matter had to be discussed by the whole family.

So, she took her younger siblings back to her home. I found a branch and taught my siblings to write their own names on the ground, and the two little ones learned very seriously.
