Zhen finished speaking.

Mrs. Bai also had something to tell her grandson.

Her style of speech is completely different from that of her daughter-in-law, and she is very down-to-earth.

"Fourth, you have to study hard when you arrive at Huaishui Academy. Your second brother didn't pass the test, and now the old Bai family is counting on you. Now your sister has so easily earned you a chance, if you dare to study hard when you get there, I will break your legs. ”

Mrs. Bai's words were quite vicious, her words were not joking, they could really break Bai Panmei's legs.

Xiao Fuyuan wanted to say on the side that the fourth brother was able to go to Huaishui Academy because of his qualifications, and she was just a boost.

"Don't be fooled by the Qilin genius, it's all a false name. Your second brother also said that he was a prodigy, and that An Xiu was the top of the list, one failed in the imperial examination, and the other was crazy and did all kinds of bad things. You can't learn from them, and you don't expect you to be very good. You can be a county magistrate, our family is all smoking from the ancestral grave, you can let your grandmother see you raise people in high school when you are alive, and your grandmother will not live in vain. ”

Xiao Fuyuan thought that the second brother of Xiucai was really miserable, and he was pulled to make a comparison every time.

But milk, can you dare to think a little, the fourth brother is not only a county order!

Bai Panmei listened to Mrs. Bai's teachings with a solemn face.

"I heard that there are many rich children in Huaishui Academy, and there are such snobbish people, just ignore them. You are going to study, not to compare, but if others bully you, you can't bear it, you should be beaten, you should be scolded, any gentleman who doesn't do anything is lying to the honest man. ”

Bai Family: "......"

Bai Panmei agreed extremely respectfully: "I remember." ”

"Huaicheng is not as prosperous as Nanguan Town, there are restaurants and singers everywhere, you don't want to be dazzled, learn to drink flowers and wine and linger in Qinglou. If you dare to do that, don't be a descendant of the Bai family. ”

Qiu Niang happened to bring in the tea, and when she heard the Kabuki Qinglou, her face was red, and her head hung low.

Bai Panmei glanced at Qiu Niang, knowing that Mrs. Bai usually spoke like this, he was afraid that Qiu Niang would be too careful, so he hurriedly swore and assured Mrs. Bai: "Milk, don't worry, I only care about reading, and I don't care about anything else." ”

Mrs. Bai was very satisfied with her grandson's performance, and her mind was turning around if there was anything else to tell, and she found that everything she had told was almost the same.

After the old lady Bai finished speaking,

Xie Chuntao came out with the posture of her eldest sister-in-law like a mother, and said to Bai Panmei in a gentle voice: "Fourth brother, you don't have to think about home when you go to Huaishui. With me and your eldest brother taking care of you at home, you just have to study. ”

Eugene Gui glanced at his lips.

Xie Chuntao is used to being a good person, and her words are good, and she puts the score of her sister-in-law everywhere.

Don't just cook and farm, what can she take care of at home, the big things are controlled by Mrs. Bai, the silver is Bai Erzhuang and Bai Sanzhuang, and the sister-in-law is blessed......

It seems that she is capable.

"My sister-in-law and I have the same thoughts, fourth brother, you just have to study. Your second brother doesn't have the life to continue reading, the family is counting on you, and when you read well, you will be the support of your second brother and your nephew. Eugene Gui said.

Zhen glanced at Eugene Gui, what he said, don't say it if you can't speak.

Bai Sanzhuang saw that You Jingui could chat to the death, so he took over the conversation and said, "Fourth brother, although Huaishui Academy does not need to spend money to eat and drink with paper and pen. But you also have to know that dealing with classmates also requires silver, and you can't be stingy with people at ordinary times, I will give you silver every month, if you need silver, just open your mouth to me. ”

Bai Sanzhuang partnered with others to sell porcelain privately, and recently made a lot of silver.

He had already taken out dozens of taels and stuffed them to Bai Panmei. I'm afraid that the fourth brother is young and doesn't understand the world, and when he arrives at Huaishui Academy, people look down on him.

Bai Panmei listened to the advice of her family, and was indescribably moved in her heart, and secretly decided that she must study hard in order to live up to the expectations of her family.

At the end of the meeting, when everyone was about to disperse, Mrs. Bai suddenly said that she remembered something to discuss with everyone, so everyone's butts sat down again.

"Mother, what's the matter, can't you say it another day, you have to send Xiaosi to Huaicheng early tomorrow morning?" Bai Muban said.

Old Lady Bai glanced at everyone and said slowly: "I discussed with your daughter-in-law, and now the family has some money." Last time, I only said that I would keep the capital for the third child to do business and buy a dowry for Xiao Yuanbao, and your daughter-in-law and I think there is still something to do. ”

Everyone looked at the old lady Bai quietly.

"I want all of them to study."

As soon as Old Lady Bai's words fell, Xie Chuntao became excited.

Her Erlang is the smartest, lying on the bed when he was a child, and he followed the second uncle and Zhen to recognize words and words, and now he can finish a book.

Erlang's legs are not good yet, and he can't take the road of the imperial examination, and I'm afraid that studying is just a hobby.

But Da Lang is different, if Da Lang studys, not to mention that his fourth uncle can enter Huaishui Academy, like his second uncle to be a showman, he also has two taels of silver and a few catties of grain and rice a month. There was a big drought in Nanguan Town that year, and it was all supported by the second uncle's few catties of grain and rice.

There is another one, the fourth child will have a future in the future, even if he wants to help Da Lang, he is illiterate and his help is limited.

Eugene Gui and Xie Chuntao have the same thoughts.

Before, the old Bai family tightened his belt for Bai Erzhuang to study, but he took two imperial examinations and failed to rest his thoughts, and tightened his belt for the fourth child to study.

Because there is no extra money, San Lang has not been enlightened so far, and he is scurrying around like a mud monkey every day, and he doesn't look like a talented son at all.

It would be great if Saburo could study, she couldn't count on a man to earn her a life in her life, but her son could.

"The family must be very tight on money for a few children to study at once, but I used to be so poor when I came over, and now I am not afraid." Old lady Bai said.

The fourth child can be regarded by the Zhou family as enrolling in Huaishui Academy, which further makes Mrs. Bai realize that only when the number of children and grandchildren who read more can they have a better chance of becoming talents.

The third generation of the Bai family, Bai Erzhuang, Bai Sanzhuang, and Bai Panmei are three people studying, and they have a Xiucai and a student of Huaishui Academy, and they can't be broken in the fourth generation.

"I agree with my mother's statement that all children should study." Zhen nodded.

"Yes, read, read well." Bai Muban rubbed his hands excitedly, why didn't he think about it, and asked the old lady to discuss it with his daughter-in-law.

Xiao Fuyuan also agreed: "Read, read!" ”

Old Lady Bai looked at Xiao Fuyuan and said with a smile: "Yes, even Xiao Yuanbao has to read it." I think Feng Zhiheng is literate, and our little Yuanbao is so smart that he has to be literate. ”

Xiao Fuyuan happily kissed Mrs. Bai, she was willing to read and read.

She now knows a lot of words with her mother and Erlang.

Unexpectedly, except for Erlang, Bai Zhaomei's uncles and nephews were not very interested in reading.

"Milk, mother, I don't study. I don't want to show off my talents in the future, I want to be a general. Bai Zhaomei hurriedly shook her head and said.

He learned to read with his second brother when he was a child, but now he almost forgets all the words except his name.

"I'm the same as my father, I get sleepy when I read." Bai Zhaomei confidently lifted out the white plank and tried to prove her reason for not studying.
