Traveling through ancient times, storing supplies and not fleeing famine

Xia Shengsheng brought a few children to the furniture factory and first asked the carpenter Yang about the address of Mr. Yu's home.

When I went out, I specially brought some gifts with me. After all, when asking someone to do something for you, you should always have the attitude of asking for help.

Xia Shengsheng prepared several portions, all of which were packed in exquisite wooden baskets. These wooden baskets were made with modern craftsmanship.

Inside were toffee candies, brown sugar, osmanthus cakes, snowflake crisps, and two bottles of daughter’s red wine wrapped in oil paper.

In ancient times, the price of daughter’s red wine was considered astronomical.

However, due to the development of modern technology, the price of daughter's red wine is not high, only more than 30 yuan per catty.

In the past, Xia Shengsheng would occasionally drink some to warm her body.

This time when I came to Carpenter Yang's house, I happened to bring a basket of things with me.

"Come on, what else do you want to bring?

I knew you would come. From the look of you, I can tell you will be very good to the children.

If you ask me, it doesn't matter whether it's a boy or a girl, we should let them do whatever they like if our conditions allow.

When they get married and start their own business, they may not be able to make their own decisions anymore.”

Xia Shengsheng really didn't expect that Carpenter Yang was such an open-minded person.

It feels like he only has an ancient identity, but has the thoughts of a modern person.

"What Uncle Yang said makes sense, so I came to trouble Uncle Yang this time. I don't know where Mr. Yu lives?

Are you still accepting students? If you are accepting students, what are your requirements for them?" Xia Shengsheng asked.

"Wait a moment, I'll go call Qing'er over. She can take you to Mr. Yu's house. Qing'er knows Mr. Yu's temper best.

As for whether they are still accepting students, I will have to ask them when the time comes. Qing'er hasn't been to school for a few months."

"Then I'll have to trouble Carpenter Yang!"

Carpenter Yang's home is just behind the shop, so he can get back quickly.

Qing'er is 16 years old this year. Xia Shengsheng feels that reading may make a person's temperament different.

Qing'er is like this. She gives people a feeling of being cold and indifferent to the world. Standing there, she looks like a person in a painting.

Only now did Xia Shengsheng begin to feel something for the ancient people.

"How are you, sister-in-law? After listening to what my father said about your family, I found that you are a very open-minded person.

As usual, at this time, the teacher hasn't started the class yet, so let's go straight over!

I will tell you about the teacher's habits on the way, otherwise I am afraid that he will have no time to see you when he starts teaching."

Qing'er spoke slowly, with a particularly steady air.

After saying that, he looked at Yiyi and Shanshan and smiled.

It was the first time for the two girls to see such a gentle and elegant person, and they couldn't help but blush.

"Okay, then I'll trouble Miss Qing'er."

Sicheng was at the back, pulling Ercheng's sleeve and whispering, "Second brother, she is so beautiful!"

Ercheng hit Sicheng on the head and said in the same small voice, "Shut up and don't embarrass yourself!"

Sicheng rubbed his head, and seeing that Ercheng ignored him, he took a step to the left, leaned close to Ye Chao's ear, and said the same words.

Ye Chao just looked back at Sicheng, turned away expressionlessly, and had no intention of paying any attention to him.

Seeing that no one paid any attention to him, Sicheng's face puffed up with anger.

I thought to myself: I will never pay any attention to these two brothers again, they are so annoying!

Qing'er followed Xia Shengsheng and got on the donkey cart of Xia Shengsheng's family.

Sitting there straight, with his hands resting on one leg, even his sitting posture looked comfortable.

Xia Shengsheng suddenly felt that this donkey cart seemed to bury the girl's identity.

A girl like this is more suitable for a carriage.

However, although Qing'er looks noble, she is not arrogant at all.

He did not despise this ordinary donkey cart, nor did he despise the identities of Xia Shengsheng and his companions.

Along the way, he told Xia Shengsheng everything she wanted to know without reservation.

"Mr. is a very gentle person, so don't be afraid when you go there, just act like you normally would at home."

This sentence is for the two girls in my family.

Yiyi listened attentively, but Shanshan was a little absent-minded.

Because she doesn't like reading, she prefers embroidery, I heard her mother say this before.

Although Mr. Yu can teach some simple needlework, he is not proficient in it, so there are not many hours of needlework classes, and they are all simple basic skills.

Shanshan didn't want to study with Mr. Yu like her sister, but she didn't dare tell her mother and could only worry about it in her heart.

"Mr. Yu usually only accepts ten students at most.

Although I haven't gone to study with my teacher in the past few months, I have always kept in touch with him.

If nothing unexpected happens, there will be a total of 7 people studying with my husband now.

There are five girls, all of whom are my junior classmates. The oldest has studied with my teacher for four years, and the shortest has been for more than a year.

There are two new recruits who I am not familiar with.”

Xia Shengsheng thought, if that was the case, Mr. Yu would definitely continue to accept students, and it seemed that Yiyi had a good chance of staying with Mr. Yu.

Qing'er only paused for a moment before continuing. "The teacher has a very good temper and is very gentle to us students.

I heard from my father that it would be great if the two girls in my sister-in-law's family could read some books.

Every time the teacher accepted a disciple, he would give some simple questions to examine the student's character and talent.

I have read some books before, so recognizing a few words is the best.

Sister-in-law, it’s time to turn left!”

Xia Shengsheng listened to Qing'er's instructions, changed direction, and then turned back to ask, "I heard from Uncle Yang that Mr. Yu not only teaches girls to read, but also teaches other courses.

"I have dabbled in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, needlework, etc. I wonder if I should ask you something! Are you proficient in these?"

Qing'er smiled and replied, "Sir, your father is a teacher at Nanshan Academy. You have loved reading since you were a child, and you have always been brought up by Master Yu.

Ms. Yu is also a famous talented woman in our city. She is well-versed in many arts, such as music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Although she is not proficient in everything, she is pretty good at most of them.

Just this needlework...

To be honest, in a family like ours, Mr. Yu’s needlework is definitely enough.

Just not as proficient.”

Xia Shengsheng understood that this Mr. Yu was very talented, but he was not good at needlework.

"Is there a place in the city that specializes in learning embroidery? It would be best if it focuses on embroidery, and other auxiliary courses would also be taught on a regular basis."

When Xia Shengsheng asked this question, Shanshan's eyes lit up.

Staring at Miss Qing'er, waiting for her answer.

“There are countless embroidery workshops that recruit apprentices.

However, being an apprentice in an embroidery room is very hard.

I heard from a sister that her two younger sisters who lived in the same alley went to an embroidery workshop to learn embroidery.

Not only do I have to study from morning to night every day, but I am also often scolded and punished by my master.

Sister-in-law, don’t think that this is just the case with this embroidery workshop. Other embroidery workshops also have a bad reputation.

Therefore, only those families with really poor financial conditions, who want to make their daughters have a living, would send their children to embroidery workshops to learn.

Moreover, the embroidery workshop will not teach any other courses except embroidery.

If my sister-in-law wants to send your two girls there, she has to think about it carefully..."
