Binu was stunned by the eleventh mother's question, and was stunned for a while before answering: "The maid was young back then, not to mention any knowledge, because I saw that some people in the village were forced to sell their children and daughters helplessly, they were crying miserably, and I heard too much about those who were slaves and maids suffered and suffered, so I couldn't bear to let my younger brother suffer, but also the maid was lucky, sheltered by heaven, and met the master family so rich and benevolent, don't say that I haven't suffered, and I don't know how much more generous than when I was free, I haven't insisted on it for a long time, if the little lady is interested, don't say brother, Even his uncle's family was willing to be slaves to repay the righteousness of the master's family. ”

This is obviously a misunderstanding of Eleven Niang's intentions.

Eleven Niang couldn't help laughing: "I originally thought that although you were born in poverty, you were unwilling to accept your fate, and planned to let your younger brother take the imperial examination, but I insisted on not letting him become a slave." ”

Hearing this, Binu was so anxious that he waved his hand again and again: "How dare the maid have such extravagant thoughts, don't hide it from the little lady, let alone the imperial examination, with the maid's original family background, if the younger brother has God's favor to grow up smoothly, marry a woman who has his duty as his wife, have children to inherit the incense, and have no worries about food and clothing all his life, even if it is the most beautiful." ”

Eleven Niang was a little puzzled: "I have also heard that all states and counties have schools, although most of the students are children of large families, and they are not limited to civilians, but if there is that willingness, and can pass the state and county small test, it is not that there is no chance to become a student. ”

This is not that Eleven Niang is out of reality, Da Zhou attaches great importance to culture and education, Zhou Taizong ordered to set up schools in the state and county, not only for large households around the country, especially medicine, law, arithmetic and other subjects, the entrance threshold is quite low, there is no shortage of civilian children, although civilian-born students can rarely try high school, but it is not absolute, such as Gaozong, there is a civilian-born student Jinshi and first, and later even worshipped!

It is said that the first emperor Dezong Dynasty, the official system has been corrupted, and the wind of trying to ask for help has risen sharply, but there is also a poor peasant from a poor peasant family, who entered the state to study the law, and was promoted step by step, and even became an official in the criminal department, but unfortunately died at sixty, otherwise there is great hope for being promoted to the waiter. Of course, this is also because the official position in charge of justice is despised by the Qing family, and most of the children of famous families are reluctant to serve as a judge and judge of cases, because they will be "selected" by poor backgrounds.

Therefore, Shi Niang has always thought that even if she was born in a civilian farmer, as long as she is willing, at least there is still an opportunity to learn culture and education.

How do you know that Binu didn't think about it at all, and laughed out loud after listening to Eleven Niang's words: "How can it be so easy, although there is a state school and county school, but as far as the maid knows, those who get in are not all well-dressed households, at least they have to have a solid family background, otherwise even if they have the opportunity to pass the entrance exam, food and clothing are nothing, those paper, ink, pens and inkstones can be consumed in a year, not to mention the poor family, there can be no books at all, and there can be no literate people for eight generations of ancestors, and children and nephews cannot be born literate, but those who are illiterate in big words, How can you pass the entrance exam? Only one of the ten thousand can be advised by a noble person by chance, although he was born poor, he was fortunate to enter the office. ”

Binu shook his head again: "I'm not afraid of the little lady's jokes, the maid was sold as a slave before, and even the scroll has never been seen with his own eyes, and then he entered the willow house, only to know what the scroll looks like, not to mention the rest, just framed, it will cost tens of thousands of dollars, enough to spend a family of four in this life, the maid once lived in the village song, there is a relatively wealthy household, but there is a Buddhist sutra folded at home, it is regarded as a family heirloom from generation to generation, and later because of improper storage, the handwriting on the book is so blurred that it can not be seen clearly, and the family is also offered as an ancestor, Because there is a book in the family, he usually holds his head high in front of ordinary farmers, but later in the flood, the head of the household did not even save his children and grandchildren, and desperately rescued the Buddhist scriptures. ”

Thinking of the past, Binu sighed: "The maid was never expected, but I was fortunate to be taught literacy by Jiang Ji, the maid learned to write her own name and surname, and she didn't cry bitterly, the little lady didn't know, for the common people, if the nephew can write the name and surname, even marrying a wife is a lot smoother, and even the female family does not ask for a dowry, and marrying a daughter for nothing is thought to be a great luck!" ”

When Shi Niang was still Pei Wu Niang, she thought that she knew a lot of public affairs and government affairs than ordinary ladies, but she really didn't know these subtleties, she only looked at the servants and maids around her, and thought that ordinary people could at least be literate, but they didn't learn the laws of scripture and history, and they didn't know poetry, how could they have expected it to be like this?

Despite this, but Eleven Niang had planned a good thing, and she didn't stop there, she said with a smile: "It's me who is lonely and unheard, Binu, there are some things, I can only rest assured that I will hand over to you, so I treat you no more than ordinary, I want to fulfill your heart's wishes, and it can be regarded as a reward for your loyalty over the years, and when I talk to you today, I understand that I am misunderstood." ”

Seeing that Binu was slightly frightened by this, Eleven Niang hurriedly held her hand: "I heard Xue Liuge mention last time, I want to find a servant for Zhao'er, and suddenly I thought that you have said that your brother has great strength, although he has not formally learned, he can hunt hares with homemade bamboo arrows, and after coming to Beijing, he will also write at this time, I am thinking, if I talk to Xue Liuge, I will let your brother be Zhao'er's servant, first, he will be older than Zhao'er, so as not to condone Zhao'er's naughty, and the strength is good, if you have to be trained, In the future, you can be Zhao'er Wuwei, follow Zhao'er to study, naturally do not worry about growing in literature, how can it be better than staying in the village, you don't have to worry about selling yourself, I can trust you, of course I can trust your brother, not in that deed. ”

When Bi Nu heard these words, he couldn't help but be happy, and he should be excused from all the words, and only prostrate his head down: "The little lady is kind and kind to the slave family, and the slave only feels unforgettable, and it is difficult to repay in this life, there is only one sentence, whether it is a maid, or a brother, including the uncle's family, in this life, but driven by the little lady." ”

Eleven Niang was not polite: "I am just loyal to your sister and brother, Binu remember, I want your brother to protect Zhao'er like you." ”

Binu's younger brother Shi Niang has seen it, and he is also a loyal and trustworthy person, and there is no lack of motivation, so he put him by Xue Zhao's side, and since then he has cultivated friendship, and he will definitely be able to help Xue Zhao in the future.

As an aunt, of course Eleven Niang was unwilling to let Xue Zhao get involved in the treacherous clouds, but the situation was like this, she couldn't do it to put Jing Zhaopei, the only bone and blood, in a completely safe situation, and at the moment she could only try her best to help Xue Zhao, hoping that in the future, Xue Zhao would at least have a friend around him who could be born and die.

Eleven Niang believes that the master and servant are not the most reliable relationship in the world, and only friends with like-minded feelings can truly share weal and woe.

After all these years, Binu also has a deep understanding of the temperament of the little master, although he is grateful, he does not show too much verbal, only secretly determined that he must go to the soup for Eleven Niang in the future, but suddenly remembered that he heard about it when he returned home yesterday, and then said: "Little lady, Sister Qingnu has passed twenty, and the maid heard Cao Yuan mention it, it seems that it ...... Fu Yuan intended to marry a young slave for her son. ”

Fu Yuan is the nurse of Eleven Niang, and her son is now also a servant of Liufu, and she can't marry autonomously, but a servant concubine with the same status as Fu Yuan will always be taken care of more by the owner's family, and will generally allow marriage, Yi Eleven Niang just asked: "According to what you see, this marriage can be considered appropriate?" ”

Binu smiled: "Fu Yuan has always treated Sister Qingnu well, and her son is also loyal and honest, the maid was tempted last night, although Sister Qingnu felt shy, but the meaning looked at it, and it seemed that she was also interested in moving, but she was reluctant to let the little lady go, and she hesitated." ”

Although Eleven Niang also feels that the young slave is gentle and loyal, but because she is a loyal servant of the Xiao family, there are some things that are always difficult to hand over to the young slave, to talk about the importance of closeness, of course, not as good as Binu, but also willing to be an adult, so many years of love, the green slave has never been at fault, both know that the young slave is also interested in Fu Yuan's son, of course Eleven Niang will not obstruct: "I know about this, I have my own plans, but Binu, I am not happy that you marry early, if you have a crush, you must inform me, so that I can be prepared." ”

These words made Binu very embarrassed, and he couldn't help but add a little strength to his hands.

Eleven Niang's knees bent: "Oh, it's not enough, I didn't say that I wouldn't let you marry, but I retaliated?" ”

Binu simply bit her lip: "The little lady can't reverse black and white, how can the maid have two intentions?" Only the little lady is so old that she is ...... about marriage I don't know how to be ashamed, if Mrs. Tai and the lady know, they may not be able to make fun of the little lady! ”

"My mother won't make fun of me." Eleven Niang smiled: "How many years ago, let me care about Sister Yin's marriage, not to mention you and Qingnu, the marriage match is what I should worry about." ”

Binu immediately diverted the topic: "The little lady didn't mention it, the maid almost forgot something, Yin Niang has already returned home, and now she temporarily lives in Xuxiao Hall, and the little lady can see people when she goes back today." ”
