Farmhouse life after traveling back to ancient times

"Jingning is right. It was Aunt Meng who was too careless." Yue Niang admitted her mistake immediately after realizing it.

An Jingning lagged behind and said, "How can I say anything bad about my aunt? I just mentioned it for nothing."

Yue Niang smiled and said, "That's right. If you point out my mistakes, I will correct them. Don't wait until I make a big mistake and become a laughing stock for others."

An Jingning smiled slightly, replied softly with a "yes", and stopped talking.

After getting on the ox cart and struggling to get home, Qin occupied the toilet and squatted there for a long time. An Feng was so anxious that he could not bear it any longer and ran a long way to find a secluded place to solve his urgent problem.

At night, An Jingning insisted on sleeping with her aunt. The aunt and niece talked until midnight before falling asleep in a daze.

At daybreak, Yue Niang returned to the city, bringing An Mingzhi and An Jingning with her. After her brother and sister-in-law had packed their things, they went back together.

When they arrived in the city, they went straight to Zang Yaxuan to put down their luggage, and then took the two of them to Du Wenxiu's place.

"The school. The teacher in the school where Xiaohu studied before was a good teacher and a kind person. Why don't you let Chan'er take you there later and let the teacher take a look at the child?"

Du Wenxiu heard this and said, and Du Wenchan, who had come back for lunch, also chimed in: "That teacher has a very good temper and has taught many talented scholars."

Yue Niang was also somewhat moved. She looked at An Mingzhi, asked his opinion in a low voice, and said:

"Wait for me to go back and pack my tuition, and then I'll trouble you to take us there. If you say it's okay, then it must be okay. We can just greet the teacher and go to school tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll go back with Sister Yue Niang. After we pack our things, we'll go straight there." Du Wenchan answered readily.

Now her marriage to Lu Dawei is going through the first few stages of the six rituals. She is eager not to stay at home every day. It would be so embarrassing if she encounters someone else.

Yue Niang didn't understand what was going on, but was very happy and took her home.

He didn't come back until the evening.

As soon as she entered the room, Yue Niang couldn't hide the joy on her face and kept saying how lucky she was.

When I met the teacher on the first day of the New Year, I heard that I was a student studying at a school outside Shihe Town, but he was reluctant to accept me, as if he had something to hide.

Later, Yue Niang became anxious and told everyone about the commotion in the school yesterday, crying that if the teacher did not accept the child, it would be difficult for the child to find a school to study in the countryside.

But the teacher laughed out loud after hearing this and said, "So it's you who are causing trouble in the school."

After saying that, he actually agreed to let An Mingzhi study with him.

It turned out that this gentleman did have some dirty dealings with the teacher over there, but a gentleman does not speak of them, and he did not go into detail.

However, a few words revealed that if it weren't for the teacher's mischief, this gentleman would have passed the imperial examination and become a Jinshi long ago.

"Hiss, this is a great vengeance!" Du Wenxiu took a breath of cold air.

"Yes, the teacher despises his character very much. He said that if the students he taught defected, he would not be able to accept them." Yue Niang said, patting her chest.

"It's just that I caused a big disturbance in the school yesterday. The news spread over there. I was hoping that other schools would reject my Mingzhi, but it happened to catch the eye of this gentleman."

She was very proud. She picked up a piece of cut watermelon and stuffed it into An Jingning's hand. She called An Mingzhi to come forward and salute Du Wenxiu, and then stuffed a piece of watermelon into his hand as well.

"Have you convinced your brother and sister-in-law?" Du Wenxiu was about 70% sure by the look of their face, but he still asked another question.

Yue Niang ate the melon and nodded, "Yes, my brother and his wife are reasonable people. Once I explain the reason, they will definitely agree."

Du Wenxiu couldn't help laughing: "Of course."

Yue Niang seemed to understand the hidden meaning in her words and glared at her: "Look at your expression, you don't mean what you say. You definitely don't believe me."

"No, no, I trust you. You are so capable, it's not worth mentioning such a small matter."

Yue Niang ate a piece of watermelon happily, took a handkerchief to wipe her hands, and asked again:

"You also visited the neighbor's house yesterday, so what happened?"

Her casual question made the Du Wenxiu sisters look miserable and they didn't know where to start for a moment.

Under Yue Niang's confused gaze, Du Wenxiu cleared his throat and said:

"This... Yesterday, Grandma Zhao invited us to watch a good show."

"Is there a new opera troupe in Dongxing County? What kind of good plays are they performing?" Yue Niang gave another watermelon to the siblings and asked in confusion.

Du Wenxiu burst out laughing and said, "It's not a new troupe that came. It's Madam Zhao's maid who performed a play about a pregnancy for us."

"Oh, so lively?" Yue Niang suddenly became excited, and the fire of gossip burned fiercely.

"Yes, many female relatives came yesterday. After the courtesies, the maids led us to the table. My sister and I were careful not to do anything impolite."

"Who would have thought that a pretty maid, holding water for Madam Zhao to wash her hands, would roll her eyes and spill the full basin of water on Madam Zhao."

Du Wenchan told the story vividly, while Du Wenxiu smiled with her hands covering her mouth.

Yue Niang listened carefully and kept asking, "What happened next? Did Grandma Zhao say she wanted to beat her to death?"

"Sister Yue Niang was right. Grandma Zhao's face turned pale immediately. She was so angry that she asked someone to come up and drag her away."

"But I didn't expect that the little maid standing next to them screamed and said that there was blood under the body of the maid named Diancui." Du Wenchan said.

"Oh, but where did he fall? I hope no one else gets killed." Yue Niang was absorbed in thought and worried about others.

Du Wenchan smiled with her lips pursed, and no matter how Yue Niang urged her, she refused to say anything.

Du Wenxiu understood Yue Niang's anxious thoughts and continued:

"All the guests thought she was having her period, but Grandma Zhao said she would never do such a shameful thing."

"They sent us away politely. When we came out, we saw Mr. Zhao running in a hurry, with the doctor following behind him..."

Yue Niang heard it clearly now, and curled her lips and said, "If I had known that there were few clean people in these wealthy families, something like this would happen sooner or later..."

"Aunt, what happened to that maid?" Only An Jingning brother and sister and the two ignorant little maids didn't know what the adults were talking about.

What he said was mysterious and without any beginning or end.

Yue Niang's face froze, her eyes rolled, and she touched An Jingning's little head and said softly:

"Children should not interrupt when adults are talking. Otherwise, I will tell your mother and have her spank you."

An Jingning imitated her and pouted: "Even if my aunt doesn't want to talk, I don't want to listen either. It's not worth it to scare me with my mother."

Du Wenxiu liked her fluent speech, so he called her over to snuggle up to him, put his arm around her and asked her how old she was and what she did on a daily basis.

"Jingning came with me this time because she is eager to learn some skills. Let's take her with us when we discuss matters later." Yue Niang said while eating fruit.

"We originally thought that we could teach her to read by ourselves, but since we are going to be busy soon, we might as well hire a female teacher to teach her at home."
