Chapter 3: It's a Boy

Shang Mingyang's mother, Wei, was the eldest daughter of the former county magistrate of Pingzhou County, Fanyang

When she returned to the East Courtyard, Wei was chatting with a few aunts and sisters, and when she saw him come back, the aunts got up one after another to greet him "Young Master", she nodded, and Wei saw that her face was pale and immediately came over and helped her sit down: "Your grandfather doesn't know what to think, knowing that you are recovering from a serious illness, but at this time he still wants to call you over."

Shang Mingyang leaned back in the chair and didn't care about any etiquette, and said tiredly: "I will go to school in Yunqi Academy on the tenth day of the first month, you remember to help me prepare."

Wei muttered in surprise: "How can you go to school outside?" You.. How did you get there..? ”

Shang Mingyang frowned slightly, so many people are here, isn't Wei Shi suspicious, she can only comfort patiently: "Grandfather is also thinking about the overall situation"

Wei Shi also realized that what he said earlier was inappropriate, so he slowly said, "But your body is good," and his eyes were slightly red after speaking

Shang Mingyang shook his head after hearing this: "I'm a boy, not a girl, my health is getting better quickly, you don't have to worry" Since she has decided to dress as a man, she must give up some things, but she is not depressed and sad in her heart, but she is still a little excited, but this kind of mind can't be told to others...

Wei Shi couldn't help but feel a little sad when he saw that his "son" was so sensible, and his voice was a little choked, "My son has grown up, and now he is more sensible, you rest first, my mother will stew some supplements for you"

Shang Mingyang knew that Wei's loved his children, and hurriedly said, "Mother, don't need it, I can't eat it now."

Wei saw that his son had a tough attitude, so he didn't insist anymore

After resting for a while, watching the Wei family and the aunts embroidering flowers and chatting about the rights and wrongs of some of Fan Yang's families, I had to sigh that her backyard was so harmonious, and thought about what were the dirty and filthy things in the previous Hou Mansion mansions, it turned out that not all the eldest ladies had to take care of the concubines, and not all the concubines were prodigal hooves

Listening too much and being a little bored, she went back to her room, took a book from the shelf and read it carefully.

When she was a child, she and her sister also followed the boys to take classes at home, although the woman is not talented is virtuous, but after all, it is the daughter of a bachelor of arts is not really illiterate, I don't know if it is a deep father's hand-to-hand, their brothers and sisters are quite accomplished in reading, especially the eldest sister has high requirements for herself, everything has to learn lean, the eldest sister has also complained that her life is destined to be hard, but I didn't expect to fall into such a field later...

After dinner in the evening, Shang Mingyang continued to read in the study, and his father Shang Boxue came back

Shang Boxue was the son-in-law of the family, and he wore a black round-necked robe, and his temples were a little white. Because of the heavy affairs in the clan, the people are also a little old, but it can still be seen that he was also a handsome son when he was young, and he mentioned the matter of going to school during the day

"I heard your grandfather say, you will go to Yunqi Academy after the New Year, this is a good thing, now that your grandfather is old, only your second uncle is still a petty official in the family, and your third uncle is also a bad person, I can only take care of the miscellaneous affairs in the clan, and after your grandfather retires, our family will be completely speechless in Fanyang."

Father sighed and continued: "Brother Yang'er is the only one in the long room, you are the only seedling, your mother used to spoil you, and your father only turned a blind eye, and you can no longer be so stubborn in the future, if you split up in the future, our family may not be as good as the second room, although your second uncle is only an eight-grade petty official, but it is indeed the only one in our generation who has an official position, if your grandfather really retires your sisters and sisters, it will be much worse than before, you have to study hard, your father is not useful, and the long house will depend on you to support it."

Of course, Shang Mingyang understands the importance of studying for the imperial examination to a person, especially this kind of family that is beginning to decline, and she is the only "male" in the long room, and the responsibility on her shoulders is heavier than that of the second room

She made a decision in her heart, and said solemnly: "The child understands"

Shang Boxue took out some broken silver and ten taels or twenty taels of small denomination silver tickets from his sleeve, and the bits and pieces looked like they had been saved for a long time, and handed them to Shang Mingyang: "Your eldest sister has just gotten married, and your mother has to save some dowries for a few sisters, and the situation at home is getting worse and worse, this year's drought farmland shops have been affected, and the income is not as good as before, this money is not much, you keep it yourself, don't let others look down on you when you go to school, but don't be a profligate swinger!" ”

Her nose is sore, a little uncomfortable, she likes this home very much, her parents really love her, since she occupies the identity of other people's 'son', she will repay her parents well, go to school well, get promoted as soon as possible, and revitalize the family

According to her memory, the family is still in charge of the grandmother, and it was not handed over to her mother, her mother is also a careless nature, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are not much contradictory, although the monthly cost of each room is not low, but it is really not high, she has four sisters on her head, and there are two younger sisters at the bottom, like this kind of bride price given by the son-in-law of the Qingliu scholar family is categorically not greedy, all the dowry is brought to the girl, and now the second sister and the third sister have also reached the age of discussing relatives, and the fourth sister will start to look at each other next year.. Now they still have to provide her with education, and their family is also stretched

Shang Mingyang hesitated for a while but took the money, I don't know what will happen when I go to school, it is always useful to leave some money,

If she can be admitted to the Jinshi, she will naturally be able to change the fate of her family.

After the two fathers and sons talked, Shang Boxue left, Shang Mingyang was sleepy and tired, so he let Mama Li, who had been serving her closely since she was a child, serve and rest
