Ding Zhuang was so angry that he wanted to hit someone, and scolded, "You three brothers plus your sister are not promising, so you are embarrassed to say it." You don't go to school, do you want to follow me to beat up?"

"I don't want to strike iron, I like arithmetic, I want to be a bookkeeper. Master, let me go to 'Baotie as a bookkeeper, and I promise not to miscalculate."

Ding Zhuang was even more angry, raised his hand and slapped him, "The tent is not yet old, so if you think like this, get out, get out."

Ding Lilai was about to cry, "I can't get into Xiucai no matter how much I study, I can't remember articles, I just like to count and count."

Ding Zhuang said, "Then follow Shopkeeper Gong to learn how to open a shop, or follow Yang Hu to learn how to farm." In the future, Lao Tzu will open a shop for you and buy land, and you must keep them so that you can afford to support your daughter-in-law and children."

Ding Xiang also felt that Ding Lilai couldn't learn anything from Mr. Li. He couldn't learn the Four Books and Five Classics taught by Mr. Li, and he couldn't learn the arithmetic he liked.

said, "The third brother is only ten years old, and it is too early to be a tent or open a shop and farm, so he should focus on learning. Let the second brother inquire in the county school to see which private school in the county has a good teacher, and the third brother will follow to learn arithmetic.

"When the third brother grows up, I will talk about what I will do in the future. I always feel that the third brother has a talent for arithmetic, and his future will not be worse than that of the eldest brother and the second brother."

Lilac's words made Ding Lilai smile and squint.

When she got home, Lilac leaned into Zhang's arms again and was coquettish.

It was the first time that Zhang had left his daughter for so long, and he thought so badly that he asked Lilac to sleep on a kang with her at night.

Daddy wasn't there, and Lilac happily agreed.

Finally, on the second day of the sixth month, Lilac didn't need to rush to Tao's house to attend classes.

She had to admit that corporal punishment was one of the most effective means of education. In the past ten days, she wanted to vomit when she painted landscapes, and Tao Weng's sharp gaze made her heart tighten, and she would never forget it for a lifetime, and she didn't dare to be perfunctory about learning.

She took a leave of absence yesterday and moved to tomorrow's class.

She woke up from her sleep and heard the noise of people outside.

Today, not only did we have to hold a flowing water feast, but also invited a drama troupe, and the villagers were happy to talk and laugh loudly.

Li Maigao specially went to the theater troupe invited by the neighboring county. That county is under the jurisdiction of Huizhou Province, and it sings Huangmei Opera.

The stage was set up not far from the Huiye Pavilion, and it was sung from the beginning to the end.

Not to mention that the people of Beiquan Village are like festivals, except for the Tao family and Xia Yuan's family, almost all the villagers flocked to the stage, and the villagers of several nearby villages also came to watch the play.

The stage was surrounded by water.

There were ten chairs in the first row, sitting Ding Zhuang, Ding Shan, Xia Lizheng, Zhao Laofu, Zhao Lizheng from Nanquan Village, two elders of the Xia family, Xia Er, Jiang Tofu and other highly respected people.

Lilac didn't like to listen to dramas in her previous life, but she hasn't seen a play in her life, and she is still very excited.

She sat in front of her grandfather with a small bench, and Ding Zhen, Xia Sanfen, and Xia He also sat in front of their grandfather or father with light, so that the little ladies who couldn't squeeze in front were envious, jealous and hateful.

The first play performed by the troupe was "The Female Horse", which was ordered by Ding Zhuang.

The heavy makeup of the drama made Lilac speechless, so ugly. The costumes are also rough, and at first glance they look like a grass stage team. However, it's really good to sing, and it belongs to the kind that comes with its own stereo.

The tune is similar to the Huangmei Opera in the previous life, and the lyrics are also similar to the "Female Concubine" in the previous life.

There are so many coincidences in the world.

Whenever the opera sang a familiar opera, Ding Zhuang would sing along, not to mention the loud voice, but also to sing out of tune.

This seriously affected other people who watched the play. They were so angry, but no one dared to remind Ding Zhuang not to sing.

Someone hinted to Ding Zhen and asked her to talk to Lilac, but only Lilac could persuade her.

Lilac did not persuade. This is what grandpa paid for, and grandpa is happy, so he sings along if he wants to.

At the end of noon, the flowing water banquet began, and Ding Zhuang and others left.

Those who were late for the feast flocked to the front to watch the play.

The table of the little girls of Lilac was still placed in the pavilion in the backyard of the Ding family, and a table was thoughtfully sent to the pottery house.

Dr. Zhao, who was eating at the banquet, was invited to Xia Yuanwai's house to see a doctor, and Xia Yuanwai was seriously ill and vomited blood.

Everyone knows that Xia Yuanwai is angry.

Ding Zhuang was happy, picked up the wine cup and let the villagers eat and drink well, and waited until the year after tomorrow when Liren was admitted to the show to eat the flowing water banquet and watch the big play.

The villagers didn't go to the bragging skin that his grandson would definitely be admitted to Xiucai in the year after tomorrow, and they all sincerely congratulated him, hoping that he would be able to eat a flowing water banquet and watch a big drama again in the year after next.

The next day, Ding Liren went to the county school with his bags on his back.

If you want to live there, you will only come back for a day in ten years, not to mention that the Zhang family is reluctant, and the cloves are reluctant, and there is a kind of loss that the son grows up and goes away.

A few days later, Ding Liren asked people to send a letter back, the Qi family private school is more famous in the county, and Mr. Qi has taught three talents and more than a dozen children. Mr. Qi is particularly good at arithmetic and attaches great importance to this subject.

There are many students who want to study in Qi's private school, and if they want to enter, they must go through Mr. Qi's assessment.

Lilac can go and ask Tao Weng for help, as long as Tao Weng speaks, Mr. Qi will definitely accept Ding Lilai. But Ding Xiang didn't do this, if Mr. Ruoqi saw Ding Lilai's arithmetic talent, he would definitely be willing to accept this disciple.

This is the time to build confidence in Dingley.

Sure enough, Ding Zhuang and Ding Li came back and said that Mr. Qi was reluctant to ask him as soon as he saw the few words Ding Li wrote. But when he passed Ding Lilai's arithmetic examination, his eyes lit up happily, saying that this was the most talented arithmetic child he had met in more than 30 years.

His Majesty promised to take him.

Later, Ding Lilai lived in the Jiulu Weaving and Embroidery Workshop at night and went to the private school during the day. At the end of the ninth day of the first lunar month, Li Maigao rushed to the county seat to pick him up and Ding Liren home.

In mid-May, Ding Lilai was sent away.

Neither the county school nor Mr. Qi allowed the little girl to serve his master and study. Li Dalu and Li Xiaolu have been studying in a private school for two years, and they can recognize and write simple characters, so they don't need to learn anymore, so they can practice martial arts at home and follow their father Li Maigao to learn general affairs and personal favors.

Ding Zhuang went to the dental store to buy six boys of ten to twelve taels and sent them to Mr. Li's private school to study. After two years of study, I will be re-assessed, continue to study with high understanding, and go to "Baotie" as an apprentice if I am not good.

This is a managerial talent cultivated for "Baotie".

The house is quieter, and Lilac is not used to it at all.

To Lilac's dismay, Feifei has not yet returned. If it was before, she would have scolded that little thing, but now she is reluctant to scold.

There is only one word, hope.

It was her lucky eagle, and she got two of the best treasures in the world, as well as the best variety of treasures.

Most of her blessings are given by small things.

At the beginning of June, the Ding family's big house ushered in a good news, Ding Dafu was married.

The girl's surname is He, and her family lives in Zao County, which is hundreds of miles away. His father died young, and he raised three younger brothers with his mother. This year's youngest brother is twelve years old, and the girl just let out the wind that she wants to get married.
