Chapter 56 Entering School

Chapter 56 Entering School

Back from Sister Wen's house, Yingbao led the way and ran to find her parents.

"Mrs. Wen said that I will be her first disciple, and she will teach me alone in the future."

Jiang Sanlang frowned when he heard this: "Your surname is Wen?"

"Yes, they are the fourth son and daughter-in-law of Grandpa Wen's family who came to our village last time." Yingbao chirped and told her parents the whole story.

"Uncle Wen was weak and wanted to go to a place with beautiful mountains and rivers to recuperate, so he brought his family of four to settle here."

"Mrs. Wen also said that her daughter has to study anyway, so it would be better to set up a girls' school here and teach other girls."

Chun Niang smiled and said: "That's a good relationship. My Bao'er happens to go there to study, and it's a female teacher teaching, so it's the most suitable."

However, Jiang Sanlang looked solemn, pulled his little girl aside, and asked in a low voice: "Bao'er, do you really want to go to school?"

"Yes." Of course Yingbao wants to go.

She was already certain that Sister Wen was Sister Wen Shu in her previous life.

But I don’t know why she ended up here in this life.

Jiang Sanlang frowned and asked carefully, "Did the Wen family ask you about the secret recipe handed down from their ancestors?"

Ying Bao's almond-shaped eyes flashed and she shook her head: "No."

"That's good." Jiang Sanlang touched his daughter's head: "Remember from now on, no matter who asks you about secret recipes and medicines, don't miss a word."

"I understand, Dad, our family has no secret medicine, nothing."

Of course, Ying Bao understands what her father is worried about, but she is an adult in her soul, so she occasionally lets her parents be unguarded. How could she be stupid enough to tell her that she has secrets to others.

Jiang Sanlang patted his daughter, feeling a little relieved, and said to his wife: "I will stay in Nanpo for a while recently. You can take care of the children at home."

My daughter got more than 20 saplings and a large bag of seeds from nowhere. She said she bought foreign cotton from a salesman and asked him to plant it in the fields on the south slope.

So Jiang Sanlang was very busy, not only busy planting saplings, but also plowing the land to grow cotton, and the fertile farmland at home also had to be cleaned up.

Fortunately, the golden ear has not yet developed bacteria, otherwise he would not be able to break off eight petals by himself.

"I know." Chun Niang was not worried about anything else. She was just worried that the Han family in West Village would take advantage of them and harass her daughter.

"Since you are going to school, you should also prepare some of the six rites that should be prepared. Even though our daughter is a girl, she has nothing less to do than a boy to be a gentleman."

"I will ask my parents about this and prepare everything that needs to be prepared." Chun Niang said, taking the key to open the box and preparing to bring some money to her parents-in-law and ask them to prepare gifts for apprenticeship.

The old couple has more experience and understands detailed etiquette. They know better than themselves what kind of etiquette should be prepared for school.

Jiang Sanlang nodded and told Ying Bao a few words before carrying the shovel to the south slope.

When Mrs. Jiang Liu heard that her third daughter-in-law wanted to send Yingbao to a girls' school, she slapped her thigh and said, "Sending one is a gift, and sending two is also a gift. We might as well let the eldest daughter and the second daughter go to school."

Sister-in-law Jiang had no objection and asked her daughter, "Dani, why don't you go to school with your cousin to study for a few days?"

Dani shook her head quickly: "I'm not going." She is already eleven this year and will get married in a few years. How can she be embarrassed to stay with a bunch of kids who are only a few years old and study together.

"You kid is so ignorant!" Mrs. Jiang Liu lowered her face and glared at her eldest granddaughter: "Why don't you learn to read a few words?"

My family is not short of money now, and my granddaughter can learn to read, so that her husband's family can look up to her in the future.

Dani hid behind her mother, poked Zhou with her finger, and whispered: "Mom, I don't go to school. If you want to read, I can learn from Yuan Bao."

Zhou was helpless and said to her mother-in-law: "Dani is already so old and it won't look good in school. If she wants to learn to read in the future, she can learn from her brother."

Mrs. Jiang Liu angrily glared at her eldest daughter-in-law, turned around and asked Erni: "If your eldest sister doesn't go, you can go with Ying Bao."

Erni nodded, feeling very happy, but worried that her younger brother Huzi would have no one to take care of her when she went to school. "Nai, where is Huzi?"

Mrs. Jiang Liu suddenly remembered that she had a naughty grandson. "Then let Hu Zi go too. I wonder if Mr. Wen will accept male disciples."

Because Huzi was too young, the clan master refused to accept him, so he kept playing with Yingbao and Xiaojie Dawu.

"Let's ask Mr. Wen later if he will accept male disciples."

Chun Niang handed the two ounces of money to her mother-in-law, "I don't know if these gifts are enough. I will go back and get them if they are not enough."

Mrs. Jiang Liu took the money and said, "I can't use so much to prepare Ying Bao, but Shu Xiu also has to prepare it together. It's enough to have these two."

The next day, Chun Niang sent her two sons to the front yard and asked her sister-in-law to take care of them. She carried Liuli and Yingbao in a bamboo basket to apprentice with Mr. Wen.

Mrs. Jiang Liu also led Erni, Hu Zi, and double Shu Xiu to the Wen family.

Shiro Wen is not here, and Mrs. Wen, Xiao Zhenniang, is leading a maid to decorate the newly built school.

"Mr. Wen, I'm here to become my apprentice!"

Yingbao woke up from afar.

Xiao Zhenniang came out of the house and saw that the Jiang family was coming. She quickly asked the servant girl to bring stools for Jiang Liu and Chun Niang to sit down.

The three of them chatted for a while, and Mrs. Jiang Liu mentioned her grandson Huzi, "Our grandson Huzi is almost five years old this year. He usually plays with his sister and cousin. Now Erni Yingbao has entered school. It's not a problem to leave him alone at home, I think. It's better to send him to school to study, so that he can be with the sisters. I wonder if Mr. Wen will accept male disciples here?"

Xiao Zhenniang smiled and said: "Normally, I won't accept it. Although my husband also teaches, he is only responsible for educating the children. If you want to take the imperial examination, you can't do it."

The implication is that her husband has limited knowledge and is only responsible for teaching his children how to read. If he wants to take the imperial examination, he can only find another famous teacher.

Mrs. Jiang Liu laughed when she heard this, "How young is he? He has to take the imperial examination. Please, sir, accept him and teach him a few words."

Xiao Zhenniang smiled and nodded, "Then stay for now, and I'll tell Mr. Lang later."

"Oh, that's a good feeling." Ms. Jiang Liu was overjoyed.

Just like that, Yingbao and Ernihuzi entered Wenjia Academy to study at the same time.

A few days later, a plaque was hung at the Wen Family Medical Center with several large characters written on it: Ai Chang Women's Medical Center.

Yingbao and Ernihuzi also officially started school the day after the school plaque was hung.

As a result, when I entered the school, I saw that there were only three siblings, plus sister Wen and the boy named Wen Hengyin.

This is a bit embarrassing.

She thought that her husband would be ashamed because he could not receive any students, so Yingbao secretly observed them for a long time, but saw that they looked calm, as if nothing was wrong with them.

Next, I was in the same classroom with Sister Wen, and Mrs. Wen taught alone.

Wen Hengyin and Hu Zierni were in another classroom, being taught the Thousand-Character Classic by Mr. Wen Si.

The five students were divided into two classes, with one teacher teaching the other.

Just outrageous.

Mrs. Wen handed Yingbao a medical classic and began to lecture.

"I divided medicine into four departments: Medicine, Acupuncture, Massage, and Curse."

Mrs. Wen said eloquently: "We will mainly study medicine in the future, but we must also study acupuncture, massage, and mantra..."
