I was the best old lady in ancient times

Chapter 84 Going to School
When Chen Wenhe heard that Ning Pengpeng asked his daughter to be his wife, he was already stunned. When he reacted, he hissed. It turned out that when he was excited, his own hands pulled out several beards on his chin. down.

"This……"

"Master Chen, don't worry, if Miss Chen is willing, the old woman will make up for her portion of Shu Xiu, and Miss Chen will never suffer."

Ning Pengpeng knew that Mrs. Chen's family was very poor when she helped Mrs. Chen's family move.

Even if he taught ethnology in the Ning family, at Chen Huilan's age, in a few years he would have to talk about marriage.

At that time, I'm afraid I won't be able to provide a decent dowry, and it will be much more difficult to find a husband's family.

After all, Chen Wenhe was a scholar, and the husband he found for his daughter would naturally not be such a vulgar and reckless man.

If you are looking for a scholar, you will naturally have to prepare a generous dowry, so that your daughter will not have to go to the fields after marriage and suffer too much.

With the current Chen family, there are really not many that can be given to Chen Huilan.

Now that Ning Pengpeng is giving Chen Huilan a chance to earn a dowry by himself, it must be a lie if Chen Wenhe says he is not tempted.

"Only teach those girl dolls?"

"Yes, just like Master Chen takes pity on his own daughter, the old lady doesn't want the Ning family girls to be blind."

Hearing Ning Pengpeng's words, Mrs. Chen couldn't help being a little moved, and said after hesitating for a moment.

"Well, let me ask the little girl first, if she is willing, then give it a try!

If she doesn't want to, then let it go. "

"Thank you, Master Chen. Master has a saintly heart, which is a blessing to the descendants of my Ning family."

Speaking of this, Ning Pengpeng stood up and solemnly blessed Mrs. Chen.

"Old Madam Ning is too polite, it's just a little effort, it's not like what you said."

Thousands of wears, no flattery.

Chen Wenhe blushed and shook hands repeatedly at Ning Pengpeng, expressing that he was not as good as that saint.

When Ning Pengpeng left, Chen Wenhe remembered dizzily that he hadn't asked his daughter what she meant. Why did the other party seem to be sure that his daughter would agree to the conversation between him and Mrs. Ning just now?
When Chen Wenhe told Chen Huilan in distress that Mrs. Ning asked her to explain that the girls of the Ning family could read and write, Chen Huilan's eyes lit up.

"Father, I promise."

In fact, Chen Huilan prefers reading to embroidery.

But she also knows that the family is very difficult.

Dad spent so much money on studying alone.

If she is like her father, ignoring common affairs and only reading sage books, then only her own mother Xie is the one who is tired, how can she be so cruel?
Dad studied to take the imperial examination, but she is a girl, no matter how many books she reads, she will not be able to pass the imperial examination. Therefore, Chen Huilan can only bear the pain and give up her love. She no longer reads books, but embroiders in an embroidery shed to earn some money. To supplement the household.

Now that she can study and earn money, how could Chen Huilan be unwilling, she nodded her head and agreed.

Chen Wenhe didn't expect that his daughter would be so happy when she heard the news that she was asked to be his wife, and her eyes were thoughtful.

It was Mrs. Xie who frowned and said softly to Chen Wenhe.

"Sir, Huilan will be seeing her in a few years, isn't it inappropriate to show her face like this?"

Hearing his wife mentioning this matter, Chen Wenhe's originally wavering mind immediately became firm.

"Qin Niang, it's precisely because Huilan is going to see her in a few years that I hesitate to agree!
After all, Mrs. Ning promised that she only needed to teach the girls in the Ning family to read, and she didn't ask them to know poetry, and she would give Hui Lan an additional training.

Hui Lan also took advantage of these few years to save up some dowry for herself.

It's because I'm useless that you and Huilan are tired and suffer together with me. "

Chen Wenhe pressed his broken leg, which was still unable to walk, and said in frustration.

No matter how unwilling Mrs. Xie was, after hearing these words from Chen Wenhe, she could only shut her mouth, covered her eyes and began to cry.

"Father, mother, this is a great thing, why not be happy?

Mother, I promise to teach those girls how to read and write only in the inner courtyard, and don't leave the inner courtyard to cause trouble.

Even if I teach those girls to read and write, I will not let go of embroidery work. "

Chen Huilan took Xie Shi's hand and assured her.

She knew that her mother was worried about her reputation, but if she didn't leave the inner courtyard, naturally there would be no bad gossip to spread!
Hearing her daughter's reassurance, Xie's eyes turned red and she stopped crying.

Xie reached out and stroked her daughter's hair, if she was a boy, how nice would it be?

Knowing what Chen Huilan promised, Ning Pengpeng nodded in satisfaction.

She was going to send the children above the age of four to school, so Ning Yongpeng was studying with Master Chen.

And Ning Youxi, Ning Cheng'er and Ning Mian'er went to learn to read from Chen Huilan.

That's right, after cooking by himself, Ning Youxi has one more thing to do.

That is to take two nieces to school together every day, and learn from Chen Huilan, who is about the same age as her.

After embroidery, holding a brush to write on paper every day has become what Ning Youxi hates the most.

She was holding the writing brush, and one of them was accidentally heavy, and it turned into a lump of ink.

Light, and always disconnected, do not know what to write.

At this time, Ning Youxi felt that it was better to embroider, at least the embroidery needle pricked his fingers, and he knew how well he could control his strength!
Hearing her mother-in-law said that only children over four years old are allowed to go to the ethnology school, Wang sighed helplessly.

Originally, she thought that her eldest could enter school, but she didn't expect that she was still one year away.

The village knew that Ning Pengpeng had sent his daughter and two granddaughters to the school to let Mrs. Chen's daughter teach literacy, and there were also shy ones who wanted to come to the class.

But Ning Pengpeng stopped him directly and said directly.

"If you want to find a master to teach you how to read, then bring your Shu Xiu.

I asked Master Chen to teach my baby girl to read, and that was an additional fee.

If you want to take advantage of it for nothing, and don't want to pay for a white girl's ticket, then I'm sorry, just get out of here. "

Hearing Ning Pengpeng's nasty words, that petty and cheap person hummed for a long time without making any sense.

After all, I just ate someone else's running water mat a few days ago!
You can't just turn your face and deny people after a few days have passed, right?
There are also those who know that they only need to pay another bundle of repairs to make their girls learn to read, and immediately take action to pay the money for the bundle of repairs.

For example, Ning Youzhi's eldest granddaughter, Ning Yu'er, is six years old as Ning Cheng'er, but she is older than Ning Cheng'er.

But the actual seniority is a generation younger than Ning Cheng'er, so they have to be called Aunt Ning Cheng'er and Ning Mian'er, and Aunt Ning Youxi, Nv Nai Nai.

Except for Ning Yu'er who went to school, and the eldest and third children of Ning Youzhi's family, all those over four years old had to go to school.
