After Dressing Up As a Stepmother, I Transformed the Whole Family Into Working In the Fields Chapter 90

Chapter 90 Si Niang is unhappy

 Qin Yao happily folded the contract and put it away.

After talking about Liu Ji, Qin Yao said to Dalang's three boys: "The Ding family is building a family school for the clan. It should be completed by the end of the year. When the Ding family school starts after the new year, I will find a way for you to go to the clan school." Attend class."

"But it's a long way to go. Dalang and Erlang will go first, and Sanlang will wait for another two years until he is older."

“Siniang, don't be depressed. When your father learns it, we can study at home.”

Si Niang asked curiously: "Aniang, can't I go to clan school with my brother and the others?"

Before Qin Yao could answer, Liu Jixian smiled and touched the bun on her daughter's head, "Silly Mother, where are the women who go to school to study? Girls should be gentle and quiet, and learn the cooking skills of female workers at home. Dad will definitely find one for you in the future. A good family.”

 And she is responsible for the two vegetable plots in the front yard, the two newly cultivated vegetable plots in the back house, and the work in the fields.

The six members of the family filled their bellies together, so the elder man and his fourth wife collected the dishes and put them into a large wooden basin, saving them for dinner and then washing them together.

Qin Yao was silent for a long time, then sighed and placed the nine books borrowed from the Ding family in front of Liu Ji.

Liu Ji started copying books on the cleared table.

It turns out that if you study, you can take the scientific examination. If you pass the examination as a scholar, you will not have to pay taxes and will be exempted from corvee.

 The academy has ready-made books, but it does not issue a set to everyone. If students want to take them home for review, they have to buy them themselves or go to the bookstore to borrow them.

“Starting from tomorrow, you only need to prepare three meals a day and copy books.”

 The older ones also take care of the younger ones when washing dishes and feeding the chickens. They work in pairs, one person for a week, taking turns.

 They started too late, and it is impossible for them to follow the same steps as younger students.

Qin Yao was speechless for this man. If he didn't get beaten all over his itchy bones for a day, look, wouldn't he be able to do a good job?

 Ever since they knew they had the opportunity to go to school, the four brothers and sisters were obviously very focused on their studies.

 Reading should be organized, rather than just putting the book in front of you and reading randomly.

Siniang's two shallow eyebrows frowned, like two caterpillars, and she puffed out her cheeks to express her unhappiness.

 There are no special standards for taking the county examination, but the examination content in previous years is based on the Four Books and Five Classics.

Qin Yao saw that he had cut the paper crookedly and kicked him, "Be careful, paper doesn't cost money?"

 It is the first among scholars, farmers, industry and merchants!

The stepmother also told them that no matter whether they could be the first class or not, they must first read well, because that is the only chance for ordinary people to change their destiny.

　　Everyone took on his share of the housework, and all that was left in the house was the water mill and the chickens.

 Liu Ji replied: "Because Mr. does not accept women."

 Take a one-hour lunch break at noon to refresh yourself and continue working in the afternoon.

Just persistently asked: "Why can't women go to school to study?"

 “Why don't you accept women?” Siniang asked again.

As for the rest, let's talk about it later. Copying the textbook first is the top priority.

His handwriting is also very ugly, but he is better than Qin Yao and can write small characters.

However, this is also temporary and she will make adjustments at any time according to the situation.

“Your first priority now is to copy out the nine books as soon as possible so that I can return the books to others.”

Liu Ji, who was cutting paper to prepare for copying, asked dissatisfiedly: "Why didn't you do the washing for me?" Qin Yao turned her wrist, and her bones made a crunching sound, "There is no reason, if you don't accept it, you will die!"

"Remember, don't break it. If it's a little dirty, I'll chop you up!" Qin Yao warned dangerously.

 If you want to learn better than others, time outside the classroom is the key, so having your own set of books is essential.

On the day of the family meeting, they heard Qin Yao talk about the imperial examination, and then they realized that studying has so many benefits, and being able to settle accounts clearly is only a very small one among them.

Qin Yao and her four children were relatively free at this time, so she picked up the enlightenment illustrated book and taught the four children to lay the foundation.

If you can pass the Jinshi examination, you can become an official. From then on, you will no longer be a mud-legged person, but a scholar.

 According to Qin Yao's plan, Liu Ji will take part in the county examination in March next year.

 Liu Jicheng was stuck for a moment, really thinking about the answer seriously, and then came to the conclusion "because women don't need to study to take the imperial examination".

Qin Yao arranged for four brothers and sisters, the eldest and the younger, to pick up boxes every evening in pairs. If there was a problem with the waterwheel, she would repair it.

What's more, Liu Ji's current situation, she had to give him some advice, otherwise how could he get ahead of the students at the same time who had studied for several years?

 Just do it, Qin Yao immediately arranged new tasks for her family members.

It would be even more extraordinary if you pass the exam to be a candidate for Juren. Your relatives will be protected, and many people will send you money and land. You will have no worries about food and drink, and you will be able to wear silk and silver.

Liu Ji bit his lower lip, tears welling up in his eyes. He slowed down his movements and became more careful. He never cut a piece of paper crookedly again.

 Fortunately, he soon regained his vitality under the comfort of his three brothers.

 It's a pity that she couldn't write these small regular characters, so she gave up. He turned back to cutting paper. After cutting, he went to tend the vegetable patch. He picked the vegetables from the evening, washed them and put them on the stove so that Liu Ji could cook them directly.

Moreover, their land is close to a river, and the water is more convenient than others. They have time to look at it every day, **** weeds and pay attention to pests.

Everything was arranged, and the family of six got busy.

Si Niang frowned subconsciously. She didn't like what her father said, but she was too young and couldn't tell what she didn't like about it.

 The work in the fields is now very light. The rice has entered a stable growth period, so the amount of water in the fields will be maintained.

 So the county trial calculation is an entry-level test of what you have learned. Only if you pass the test can you get a ticket for the imperial examination.

 “Ahem” cleared his throat and continued making arrangements.

Qin Yao initially wanted to copy the book together, so that the speed could be faster.

When Siniang wanted to ask why women were not needed, Liu Ji had already realized that he was going to be taken into a ditch by his daughter. If he asked again, he would not be able to answer, so he hurriedly raised his hand to make a silent gesture to Siniang.

Since the chef is busy copying books, he will just make do with lunch and use the leftovers from the morning to cook some hot rice or eat it below.

Qin Yao would go to the fields to take a look after her morning exercises every day. When she returned home, Liu Ji had just finished making breakfast.

Liu Ji asked: "What about the work in the fields?"

Qin Yao is also busy. She wants to draw up a plan for Liu Ji's resumption of school as soon as possible.

 From now on, I will wash my own clothes. Sanlang and Si Niang are still too young, so Liu Ji will wash them for me.

 Liu Ji dared not speak out in anger, but the villain in his heart looked up to the sky and screamed: Is there any more method for the king?

Erlang has always been the best at scheming for himself among the four brothers and sisters. He discovered such a good thing that was of no harm to him. Even if he didn't like to endorse it, he forced himself to memorize it and memorize it in advance.

So Qin Yao soon discovered that Erlang had the potential to become the king of rolls, which made his father worry that he would be overpowered by his son.
