Chapter 133 Study!
Chapter 133 Study!
Mrs. Zhong stood aside and felt an inexplicable warmth. However, she seemed to remember something and showed a hint of hesitation on her face.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Yao vaguely guessed something and said, "Sister-in-law Zhong, is there anything wrong with letting my sister go to school?"
Mrs. Zhong felt a little embarrassed that Jiang Yao saw through her tricks so quickly. She coughed and spoke nervously.
"I think it's good for women to learn more. Your family already has two daughters in school. If you bring them back home, won't people gossip about you?"
"Besides, everyone knows that private school tuition is very high. With three of them at once and no man in the family, it's inevitable that they will be targeted by someone with ulterior motives."
"That's why I hope you can wait a little longer." Mrs. Zhong's face turned red, as if she had made a huge mistake.
Jiang Yao hurried over, put her hand on her shoulder, soothed her emotions, and then spoke slowly.
"Mrs. Zhong, I know you're doing this for our own good, but if you want more, that would be even better. However, I can't let her miss out on studying."
"Although we said we only made a small profit, some people still don't believe it. Since they have wild thoughts, I will make this matter public. Since they have the courage to do this, I will teach them a lesson."
"Yes, you are right." When Mrs. Zhong heard Jiang Yao say this, a look of regret appeared on her face, as if she had also failed to get into university once.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of the family. Besides, although we are all girls, we girls should also be educated! An illiterate woman is nothing to me."
"If you also like to learn to read, you can learn from my sisters. Don't be shy, I will learn from them."
When Mrs. Zhong was asked this by Jiang Yao, she was completely stunned. She subconsciously hugged Jiang Yao's arm, her eyes shining.
"This...is this okay?"
"That's natural. Women can read and write just like men. What's wrong with that?"
"Thank you, I will finish it as soon as possible next time."
When Jiang Yao saw that Mrs. Zhong was about to pay her respects, she quickly pulled her back and gave her a friendly smile.
"Nothing, sister-in-law, you don't have to thank me. I like women to study."
"I don't even know how to thank you."
Out of gratitude, the two tried their best to keep her, but in the end Jiang Yao politely declined and thanked him.
As soon as Jiang Yao entered the room, she thought about her studies and started to make plans in her mind.
She is considered a top student in modern times, but she is not very proficient in ancient Chinese and can only understand a few of them.
But if you let her do it, she will most likely make mistakes. She must have enough time to read.
She was thinking about her future when there was a knock on the door.
"Yao'er, your mother is here."
"Okay." Jiang Yao said, standing up and opening the door for Lu.
"Didn't you say that you want to go to school too?" Mrs. Lu looked calm, but there was a hint of excitement in her tone, as if she was touched by Jiang Yao's choice.
Seeing Lu's reaction, Jiang Yao suddenly thought of a possibility. She nodded, as a tacit agreement, and then asked tentatively.
"What do you think?"
"Of course I'm happy to have you two." Mrs. Lu touched Jiang Yao's head lovingly, her eyes full of hope.
"Besides, there are examples of female officials in the court. Who knows when it will be reopened. By then, we will be able to have a female official in our mansion!"
Hearing this, I remembered that Lu was a reborn person. Jiang Yao was probably Lu's intention to let her study hard. In a few years, the atmosphere in the court will become more open, and even women can take the exam.
Oh my God, one of these four sisters is finally going to succeed!
However, these two sisters have their own shortcomings.
At least from the current situation, my two sisters are not officials at all. They are too naive. I'm afraid they will be deceived before they even start fighting with men.
Jiang Yao suddenly had an idea, that is, she should study hard so that one day in the future, she could also hold an official position.
When that day comes, while she is serving as an official, she will also teach her sisters how to behave in society.
When I am tired, I will let my two sisters take over my position and I can take the opportunity to retire.
Thinking of this, he became even happier.
In this era, if you want to have enough financial resources, you must have enough power, otherwise, it is easy to be bullied, not to mention that most of their family members are women.
She could still protect herself now, but if she came into conflict with a more powerful guest, she might not even be able to protect herself.
Thinking of this, a gloomy look appeared on Jiang Yao's face.
Mrs. Lu noticed the change in her daughter and thought that Jiang Yao had no intention of becoming an official and was resisting the imperial examination.
She quickly hugged her daughter in her arms, speaking in a low and slow voice, fearing that she would use too much force and make Jiang Yao heartbroken.
"Yao'er, don't worry. I just said it casually. It's not certain that my daughter will pass the exam, so you don't have to worry too much."
"Since you love studying so much, let's study hard. I will help you take care of the house."
Her tone was filled with worry, and tears unconsciously flowed from Jiang Yao's eyes.
Whether in her previous life or this life, she couldn't remember how she was cared for in her previous life.
The only thing she could feel now was that her whole body was warm, as if she was soaking in a hot spring.
But at the same time, she wanted to protect this home more and more.
Just as she was being affectionate with Lu's mother and son, she heard hurried footsteps in the courtyard, and then there was a knock on her door.
"Boss, something big has happened! The Yingbin Inn has sent someone to report that someone has plagiarized their dishes!"
Upon learning that her daughter was going out to do something, Mrs. Lu quickly let her daughter go, helped her tidy up her clothes and messy hair, and smiled dotingly, full of encouragement.
"Come on, I have to have faith in you."
"Thank you, mother." Su Li chuckled.
As Jiang Yao spoke, she quickly opened the door and followed Zhong He, her expression instantly becoming serious.
"Any news? Where did this copycat come from?"
