Farmhouse Little Fortune

Chapter 84 (84) Repaying favors ([-])

This day, Bai Ruoqian came again, together with Bai Shaodong's family, because the time to come to Yu's house every month to pick up ointment and mustard grass had come.

Bai Shaodong's family always likes to come early in the morning for breakfast, but today they actually stayed for lunch.

Because of Bai Ruoqian's diligent walking around for nearly a month, everyone in the Yu family seemed to take it for granted, except for Yu Yu who thought it was a rare thing for Bai Shaodong's family to stay for lunch.

Although Bai Shaodong's family seems to be informal, judging from the details of the meal, the Bai family should have a strict family education. Whether it is Bai Ruoqian or Bai Shaodong's family, there is no sound when eating, and once they start eating, they don't speak again. .

This actually gave Yu Yu a new understanding of Bai Shaodong's family.

Bai Shaodong's family had eaten breakfast at their own home many times, and basically didn't feel that there was a big difference between him and Yu's family at the dining table. No matter how fast he ate, the act of eating was very pleasing to the eye.

After dinner, Young Master Bai's family suddenly asked Yu Gensheng, "Brother Yu, we heard that Mr. Yan plans to accept a closed disciple. Do you want to ask Nephew Yu Xian to try to meet Mr. Yan? It is still very hopeful to join Mr. Yan's sect."

Hearing this, Yu Yu's eyes flashed a hint of surprise, but he quickly suppressed it. He only glanced at Bai Ruoqian gratefully and said, "Thank you, Uncle Bai, for reminding me. It's very gratifying, but how can anyone cross the threshold of Mr. Yan's family? I asked earlier that Mr. Yan has very strict rules for accepting apprentices, and my aptitude is just average. There is a sky beyond the sky, and it is not easy to worship Mr. Yan as a teacher."

When Bai Shaodong's family said this, they were actually telling everyone that their Bai family and Mr. Yan were in touch, and that the relationship between the Bai and Yan families opened a door for Yu Yu.

Unexpectedly, Yu Yu refused as if he didn't understand the meaning of his words...

After the outbreak of the epidemic in Lingnan County, the Bai family always felt that they owed the Yu family, but the Yu family refused to accept any gifts. After much deliberation, the Bai Shaodong family felt that since the ordinary gifts were not accepted, the future of the child would not be accepted. , Yu Gensheng will definitely be tempted, right?

When Bai Ruoqian learned that Bai Shaodong's family wanted to use this as a thank-you gift, he told Bai Shaodong's family, "Yu Yu is arrogant, unless he gets into Mr. Yan's school by his own ability, he won't accept it if he is asked to go through the back door."

Bai Shaodong's family didn't take it seriously, and felt that with Mr. Yan's name, any scholar who could be matched with someone would not refuse.

Now being rejected by Yu Yu, he finally understood what Bai Ruoqian meant by saying that Yu Yu was arrogant.

Yu Gensheng was very happy when he heard Bai Shaodong's family say this, but seeing that Yu Yu disagreed, he didn't dare to speak indiscriminately, for fear of spoiling Yu Yu's affairs.

Seeing that Yu Yu disagreed, Bai Shaodong's family was dumbfounded for a moment, and looked at Bai Ruoqian for help.

Bai Ruoqian glanced around at everyone present, but stopped mentioning Yu Yu's apprenticeship, but asked Yu Gensheng, "Uncle Yu, do you know that apart from Junior Brother Yu, the other younger sisters are all studying?"

Yu Gensheng said: "The two older ones taught them how to read before, but they didn't have much talent and didn't want to learn. Besides, they were indispensable inside and outside the house, and they didn't have time. Only Xiaoyuer was young and learned from Brother Yu. Some words, but Brother Yu is often in school, and I don’t have time to teach her often, so I don’t know how many words this child can know now.”

After listening to Yu Gensheng's answer, Bai Ruoqian nodded seriously, and then asked: "If conditions permit, would you like to introduce some older sisters to read and write?"

Of course, Yu Gensheng would like his children to be able to read and write. He taught by Mrs. Liu since he was a child, and he often heard Mrs. Liu say that the more wealthy a woman is, the better she can write and count, and she has both virtue and skill. They don't teach women to read, they only value men and ignore the education of girls in the family.

Yu Gensheng said this deeply in his heart.

Coupled with a set of strong contrasts in reality, Yu Gensheng realized from an early age how important it is for girls to be literate and sensible.This group of comparisons is of course the comparison between Liu Shi, Luo Shi and the old He Shi and Xiao He Shi.

Liu Shi and Luo Shi can both write and count, and they have read books to understand things, while the old He family can't read big characters, and the young He family can't even count.

Yu Gensheng never thought that his daughters didn't need to study. If conditions allowed, he also wanted to teach his daughters to be as reasonable as Luo Shi, instead of being as rude and vulgar as the old He Shi.

So when Yu Gensheng heard Bai Ruoqian's question, he naturally replied: "If I have this ability, of course I would like to invite Mr. Shang to raise all the children well."

Speaking of this, Yu Gensheng paused for a moment, and sighed, "I'm just a mud-legged person. First, I don't know where Mr. Good is, and second, even if I know where Mr. Good is, I don't have the money to spend it."

Hearing what Yu Gensheng said, Bai Ruoqian smiled lightly and said, "Uncle Yu, if you want to get your younger sisters to study, I have a good idea. Listen to it?"

Not to mention Yu Gensheng, even Yu Yu, Yu Yu, and even Bai Shaodong's family didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Bai Ruoqian's pot, and looked at him curiously.

Seeing that there was no objection from the crowd, Bai Ruoqian went on to say: "My family has a family school, ranging from four-year-old cousins ​​to 11-year-old sisters. There are a total of ten people. If you send a few sisters Sending my sister to study is just a matter of adding a few tables and chairs to my family. Anyway, you have an ox cart at home, so it is very convenient to go to the county. I also heard that sister Jinhua Yinhua can drive a cart. It’s even easier.”

Yu Yu thought that Bai Ruoqian was going to recommend some good husband to their family, but he didn't expect it to be such a bad idea.

It's not close to Bai's house in the county seat, and how many favors have to be wasted. This is not a good deal.

Yu Yu disagreed in his heart.

But unexpectedly, Yu Gensheng seemed a little moved, and even Yu Yu looked thoughtful, and didn't immediately refuse.

"Wouldn't this be too much trouble for you? Jin Hua'er and Yin Hua'er are sensible. I don't worry about going to your house to study, but Xiao Yu'er is naughty. You have many children in your family, so I'm afraid she will go around Bullying people..." Yu Gensheng was obviously moved, but what he said was very embarrassing.

Bai Ruoqian's smile widened when he heard this, and Bai Shaodong's family seemed to be enlightened. After understanding the meaning of Bai Ruoqian's actions, he quickly came out to express his position: "What's the trouble? Our two families still talk about it." What are these things for? Besides, there are already many children in the mansion, and one more little fish won’t turn the world around, so it’s all right! As long as Big Brother Yu can trust our family, then these are not a problem!”
