It's unusual for a farmer to have a girl

Chapter 49

Li Xiaomian didn't look at the second uncle, but turned to look at the talented third uncle.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of the envious eyes of the elder sister and Xiaodao, and was stunned.

Xiao Mian blinked and asked, "Is it only in Fucheng that there are women's schools?"

If there is a girls' school in the county, I will send my elder sister and Xiaodao to study there for two years.

Li Xiangjin nodded, glanced at the three nieces, and explained for the first time: "The fees for women's schools are high, and they also need to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, which most people can't afford."

Xiaodao enviously asked: "I heard that my sister-in-law can write poems, what is poetry?"

Li Xiangjin stopped talking.

It is too troublesome to explain what poetry is to an illiterate yellow-haired girl.

After explaining for a long time, she probably didn't understand.

Xiao Mian glared at the scholar's third uncle, dare to ignore her little follower?

Why don't you just study for two more years?

Xiao Mian gave Xiao Dao a hand to keep her away from the unscrupulous third uncle, and then said: "Shi, just to make a long story short, nothing strange."

Seeing that the second niece dared to stare at him, and hearing her say that, Li Xiangjin couldn't help laughing.

"What do you know?"

He looked at everyone in the room with an air of aloofness.

"Poetry is a high-end culture, even I dare not say it is proficient, because it is a beautiful sentence composed of highly condensed language."

Li Xiangjin stared back at Xiao Mian with a contemptuous expression.

"Poetry has a certain rhythm and rhythm, how can you, a vulgar girl, understand it?"

I'm vulgar?
Xiao Mian was furious, she turned her head and shouted: "Mother, third uncle scolded me."

Li Xiangjin's eyes widened suddenly, and he looked at Xiao Mian in disbelief, "How old are you, and you still complain to your mother?"

"It's not as old as you anyway," Xiao Mian pouted.

"Not as old as me, you are ten years old, right? Half a girl, don't you look good?"

Xiao Mian became even more angry, not because of what he said, but because of the condescending expression of the unscrupulous third uncle, which made her angry.

Xiao Mian backed up with a straight back, "You're so shameless, you're disrespectful!"

Li Xiangjin was also furious, and he pointed at Xiao Mian.

"I don't respect my old age? Am I very old? I am recognized as a unicorn genius, a young hero."

"Tch, it's just you. You are still a unicorn genius, a young hero? You are an old pedant, little old man." Xiao Mian curled her lips.

Li Xiangjin has always been aloof, and his whole family worships him like gold. When has he been scolded like this?
He slapped the table violently: "You are talking nonsense, I passed the government examination without being as weak as the crown, I am in the prime of my life, and I still have a bright future."

Xiao Mian saw it, do you still dare to pat the table?

She also wanted to take pictures of the table, but the table was her own, what if it was broken?
So he yelled again: "Mother, my third uncle is going to beat me."

Li Xiang was almost speechless.

He suddenly sat down on the stool, put his hand on his forehead, and began to rub his forehead.

This is a land rogue, and the scholar can't explain why, it's a headache!
Song Shi walked in with a dark face.

"Third brother, how old are you? Isn't it embarrassing to quarrel with your little niece?"

Li Xiangjin: ...

Without saying anything, he took out two ingots of snowflake silver from his pocket and threw them on the table.

"This is ten taels of silver, please help my sister-in-law to arrange a banquet."

With that said, he stood up and was about to leave.

Song quickly called him to stop.

"We have separated, so let the old lady come to host your celebration banquet."

Mrs. Song didn't want to meddle in the old mansion's affairs.

Li Xiangjin couldn't help raising his eyebrows, the sister-in-law didn't even call her mother?Like Lian Zhi, he called the old lady.

But that's none of his business.

He said with a dark face: "It doesn't cost you any money, just to help with grocery shopping and cooking."

Is this the attitude of asking for help?

Li Xiangjin suddenly took a look at Xiao Mian, and said, "If sister-in-law is unwilling, I will tell dad to go."

When who will not complain?

Xiaodao opened her mouth wide in surprise.

Xiao Mian sneered: Learn now and sell now, childish!

Song Shi also fell silent suddenly.

The third brother seems to be different.

Or was he just like that?

Li Xiangjin strode out and never looked back.

The room suddenly fell silent.

Xiaodao looked at her second sister with staring eyes.

The second sister was so powerful that she dared to quarrel with the third uncle, and even won the quarrel.

Hehehe, didn't you see Third Uncle leaving in disgrace?

Song frowned and looked at the two ingots of silver, one ingot was five taels, exactly ten taels.

Li Benshan sighed and said: "Sister-in-law, don't be as knowledgeable as the third brother, he is still a child."

He blushes and has a thick neck after arguing with his little niece, isn't he like a child?
He said again: "Besides, father is not at home, we can't justify this matter regardless."

Treat the day after tomorrow, and the father and stepmother will come back the day after tomorrow.In other words, they have to prepare the dishes in these two days.

Mrs. Song was not happy, she hated the old house, and always felt that if she got close to the old house, it would be unknown.

Li Shi was very happy.

This is a scholar banquet, and there is not a single scholar in eight villages in ten miles. How beautiful is it?

Also, the third brother came to say this in person, and it wasn't his own family who came forward with a face.

This scenery is not in vain.

Damai was also very happy at first, but what the third uncle said just now made her less enthusiastic.

My younger sister is a more obedient girl, but the third uncle is cold-hearted.

Seeing that Mrs. Song was still hesitating, Li Benshan said, "Didn't my sister-in-law say: There are many friends and many paths?"

"The third brother is a scholar after all, we have to give him face not for anything else but for Dazhu and Erwang."

"Don't worry, sister-in-law. If he is really malicious, I will be the first brother to spare him."

On one side is his own father and younger brother, and on the other side is his elder sister-in-law who is kind to him and respected by him.

He really didn't want the two sides to fight like enemies and never communicate with each other.

Song looked at the embarrassed second brother and the happy younger siblings.He bowed his head and thought for a while, "Just this time, let's not make an example."

There are happy events in the village, a table of ordinary banquets, and one hundred cash.Better, 120 essays are enough.

If you kill pigs yourself, you can save a lot.

Song asked: "Did the old house not feed the pigs this year?"

Little Mian knew, "No chickens. There are no chickens at home."

Because the family was separated, no one raised pig grass to feed the pigs, so during the Chinese New Year last year, Mrs. Zhao sold the pigs and stopped feeding them.

As for the chickens and ducks, according to Lian Zhi, they killed them all before going to Fucheng.

Li Benshan went to Aunt Lihua's house to buy a pig, and then he was busy killing the pig and preparing vegetables in the old house.

I heard that the third middle school scholar of the Li family is going to hold a wedding banquet.

The village became lively, and people came to give gifts one after another. They all wanted to talk to Master Xiucai and ask about the tax-free land by the way.

If the farmland at home can be hung under the name of Master Xiucai, it can save a lot of tax and food!

Li Xiangjin was not happy to deal with mud legs, so he either shirked it and waited for his parents to come back, or let them find Li Benshan and Song Shi.

In the past two days, the family has been busy with people coming and going, so he simply closed the door and read a book in the room to hide his leisure.

As if the main character is not him.

The whole family knows his temper.

Noble and out of gregarious, he likes to be alone.

This is Li Xiangjin.

It would be strange if he chatted enthusiastically with the villagers.

When someone gives a gift, it is natural to keep an account.

Originally, the scholar was at home, and this was his job.But the young master has a bad temper and doesn't cooperate.

Therefore, Xiaomian proposed to let Barley keep the accounts.

Among the three sisters, Damai's handwriting is the neatest.

Xiaomian is a good hand at drawing symbols. When it comes to writing, it's not impossible, but there are too many typos.

Who gave her modern education to write in simplified characters?
The neighbor's gift, the Song family decided to accept it, and barley kept it on the account.

If they want to get closer to those who are interested in land tax, Song will ask them to wait for old man Li to come home.

Although I am the elder sister-in-law, they have separated, and they have no control over the affairs of the Li family's old house.

To put it bluntly, they are here to help.
