When Qi Niang and Ba Niang heard this, they both laughed out loud. Banniang stretched out her hand and pinched Xiao Shi's cute little chubby face: "Come, give my sister a kiss, and you will know that our little ten sisters are the most promising." ”

Xiao Shi Niang turned her face away in disgust, grabbed the picture and held it in her hand to look at.

Qi Niang smiled at Banniang and said: "When you go back to be with Xiao Shi, you should really be careful, this girl is fine, don't take her badly." ”

Banniang didn't want to listen to this, and said angrily: "What's wrong with the breakage?" Our little tenth sister is so smart, but she is not a female champion, and she is not willing to be a talented girl? Maybe our family will be famous for eternity after the little ten. ”

Seriously, in the Song Dynasty of the Zhao family, there were really many famous female poets through the ages, the most famous is Li Qingzhao, who is a person through the ages, and no one can match the talent among women, and then there is Su Xiaomei, who is said to not exist in history, Banniang believes that there is really a Su Xiaomei, the so-called gap does not come to the wind, there is this legend, it can be seen that the real person should at least have. In addition, there are Wang Anshi's wives and daughters, all of whom are talented, and then the famous physicist Zhu Xi, who is said to be virtuous, although this buddy admires what kind of woman is not talented, but according to reliable historical data, the daughters of the buddy's own family are very talented women at that time.

With the family background of the Zeng family, the father is full of wealth, and the second brother is also talented and learned, although the family collection of books does not dare to be on the same page as the royal family, but the people have more books than their own collection, and they really can't find a few, and with the intelligence of the little tenth sister, who can say that there will be no second Li Qingzhao?

Thinking like this, Banniang made up her mind to enlighten Xiao Shi. To say that her level may not be there, but at least the education method is much more flexible and effective than the rote memorization method of this era.

When she enlightened the little ten sisters, became literate, and then looked at the enlightenment of this era, if it was possible, she asked the second brother to teach her, and she was not afraid that with the genius of the little ten years, she would not be able to become a little talented girl.

After that, Banniang really took out an hour every day to teach Shi Niang, but in a year's time, Xiao Shi Niang has been familiar with the "Thousand Character Text" and "Hundred Family Names", because there is no "Three Character Classic" at this time, but the "Three Character Classic" Banniang was familiar with it in her previous life, so she simply taught it secretly. Later, I remembered "Kindergarten Qionglin", this is known as the ancient encyclopedia, in her previous life, when she was a child, she memorized the whole book, and she did not suffer from her grandfather's ring ruler.

But I can't find all the collections at home, and I asked the second brother Zeng Zigu secretly, he said that he had never heard of the book "Kindergarten Qionglin", Banniang thought that this book had not yet come out, so she simply followed her memory and taught Xiao Shi Niang together, so when Xiao Shi Niang was six years old, she had already read several books such as "Thousand Words", "Hundred Family Names", "Three Character Classics" and "Kindergarten Qionglin". Although there are still 108,000 miles away from reading poetry and books, among the six-year-old girls in the Great Song Kingdom, the ten mothers of the Zeng family can definitely stand out from the crowd.

Of course, this is a later story, so I won't mention it for the time being.

But said that some pain is not physical and mental, Ah Lan's matter, Banniang quickly left it behind, only said that Zeng Ziye went home from Linchuan, and went to Nanyuanzhuang, because he only paid the balance last time and hurried back, there are still many things that have not been delivered, please Chu went again, but in two or three days, Zeng Ziye returned home from Nanyuanzhuang again, although it was obviously darker, but it looked like a smile, in the end, people were in good spirits on happy occasions, Banniang almost never saw such vitality on the face of the eldest brother who was nearly middle-aged.

Zeng Ziye went home and changed his clothes, then went to the study to drive Jue'er and Jiulang out of the house, and told his father about the grange: "Because I paid the balance early, the Zhao family settled with me clearly, not only in front of me, measured the field, and recruited all the tenants, let me see them one by one, and sent another steward who was in charge of the farm, and explained the things on the grange to me one by one, and the original two ploughing cattle of the main family were also sent to us, so I entrusted two reliable tenants to help me raise them temporarily, in addition, I am afraid that I will not worry." I also showed me the harvest account book on the grange in recent years, and I calculated a little, if the year is good, the wind and rain are smooth, there are no floods and droughts, these 200 acres of land, a year of wheat can be harvested 500 stones, more rice, that is, the rent of all rents, can also be collected more than 200 stones, in addition to our own food, and then keep some for the future, there is also a 100 stone surplus grain to sell, only this one, there is an income of 60 or 70 yuan a year, enough for our family to spend. ”

That is to say, as long as there is no famine, with these 200 acres of land, a large family can live a life without worrying about a little surplus of food and clothing.

Thinking about the past few years, because of his loss of office, the family is frugal, and they still take care of today and not tomorrow, that is, Erlang is a person who loves books so much, and he can't buy a few books a year. Now that we have land, even if we have stable roots, how can we not make people happy? Without worries, Da Lang and Erlang can concentrate on studying, and they are not afraid that these children who have been studying hard in the past few years will not be promising.

Zeng Budo is the most guilty, is Da Lang Ziye, this child's mother went early, and later he was an official, and he never took care of it, he has been helping his brothers in the family for decades, and he has done his father's responsibilities on his behalf, listening to Zeng Ziye's words, sighed: "In this way, I have also calculated a thought, in the past few years, the most bitter thing is Da Lang you, my father is really ashamed of you." Now that we have these lands and the money that Shan'er has earned back, as long as our family saves a little, we won't be hungry, and you brothers can also devote themselves to learning. Even if Dad goes tomorrow, he can rest assured. ”

With such a decadent remark, Zeng Ziye's heart jumped, and he felt very ominous, so he hurriedly interrupted Zeng Budo's words and said, "What is my father talking about?" When the father says this, will not the son be sad? The son is the elder brother, and he should share the burden for his father and mother, and take care of his younger brothers and sisters. Although I no longer worry about money now, I am also blessed by the eighth sister, and my son is useless, so I am really ashamed. The father is also in the age of the sixtieth year, but the son has no interest, and he can't add glory to his father on the outside, and he can't relieve his father's worries on the inside. And the son knows that he is not as knowledgeable as the second brother, and after that, the son will share more of the trivial matters in the family, so that the second brother and the fourth brother and the fifth brother can go to school wholeheartedly, and in the future, high school will not be regarded as insulting the plaque that my grandfather fought for our Zeng family. In the future, when the son saw his ancestors, he would not be ashamed to face it. ”

"Moreover, my father was falsely accused in front of him, so he was idle at home, but my father was famous, and there was always a day when he was revived by the official family, and now Mr. Fan Zhengchun and Ouyang Gong have to be reused by the saints, there are these loyal ministers in charge of the government, not afraid that the government can not be clear, and the father should also take care of his health, and when he will serve the court in the future, when it really comes to that day, will the father not be able to taste the long-cherished wish of his life and do practical things for the people for a few more years? I must not make such sad words again, and when my son heard this, he only felt that his heart was like a knife. ”

Zeng Budo was just a momentary feeling, obviously when he was happy, he didn't expect to make his son sad, and he was a little unhappy, so he smiled and said: "I'm just saying it casually, besides, I haven't seen that your brothers are all married and have a glorious lintel, where can your father go?" You are tired all the way, go and rest for a while, let your daughter-in-law cook a few good dishes, and in the evening, we father and son, drink two cups, and it should be a celebration of the great joy of our family's permanent birth. ”

Zeng Ziye responded, and there was no need for Zeng Budo to explain, he first went to call Jue'er, gave five or six hundred yuan, and asked him to sell two liters of high-quality wine, and personally instructed the Wu family to buy some snacks and vegetables, and asked Banniang to clean up and make it.

In the evening, although it is a summer day, but surprisingly cool breeze, the family sits in the courtyard, under the moonlight, men drink, women gossip, so a happy and peaceful family carnival.

The big event has been decided, Zeng Bu did not doubt that he talked about agricultural and family affairs, before the Mid-Autumn Festival was rushing to the autumn harvest, Zeng Bu undoubtedly decided to go to Nanyuanzhuang in person before the Mid-Autumn Festival to inspect the next autumn planting matters, and Zeng Ziye and Zeng Zigu and Shilang Wulang four people, taking advantage of the Mid-Autumn Festival after the weather is good, go to Beijing to prepare for the spring of the next year. And because I am not in a hurry, I will go north along the Xujiang River from the waterway, and then transfer to the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal to Yingtianfu, stay in Yingtianfu for a few days, and then go to Luoyang, the capital city. In this way, it took two months to arrive in Beijing in time for the early winter of mid-October.

After this calculation, before the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, the wedding date of Liuniang can also be set. Brothers can rest assured that they can take the exam.

In this way, Zeng Ziye devoted himself to reading and writing, and the three children of Jue'er Jiulang and Gong'er were taught by Zeng Budo, because he was afraid of tiring his father, and the teaching in the school was still taken care of by Zeng Zi.

And the Zhu family is about to give birth at the end of July, and the busiest person in the family is the Wu family, while discussing the dowry of Liuniang with Zeng Ziye and his father and mother and starting to buy it, while preparing all the needs of Zhu's production.
