After the cannon fodder father and daughter married into the family, the whole family regretted it

The old man's meal was taken away, and Fang Tong's family also ate the hot meal.

They were discussing the little girl and her brother going to school.

"The academy starts tomorrow. I'm thinking I won't go and send him off. I'll let Tiezhu go."

Fang Nanzhi looked up from his rice bowl: "Dad, what's wrong with you?"

"Yes, I'm going to go out and inquire about something tomorrow, so I'm going to Taohua Village."

Fang Tong is still worried about Tiezhu's marriage.

Qian Fengping, who was standing by, said, "I'll go to Taohua Village. As a woman, I can get to know people better."

Fang Tong felt a little embarrassed.

His wife was once the wife of a scholar and a respectable person in the village. He rarely saw her chatting with other relatives outside, and she probably did even less public work.

But Qian Fengping didn't think so. As soon as she saw Fang Tong's expression, she guessed what he was thinking.

"If you can go, why can't I? Tiezhu and the others really treat me as their sister-in-law. It's just a small matter, not tiring, just opening your mouth and talking, so what's wrong with me contributing?"

Having said that, Fang Tong didn't dare to stop her from going, and quickly agreed with a smile.

Early the next morning, Qian Fengping went to Taohua Village, and Fang Tong sent the two children to the academy as usual.

It was the first day after the Lunar New Year, and the students were inevitably a little restless as they returned to class. However, after not seeing each other for a few days, it was as if they had endless things to talk about, and they all pulled their classmates aside to chat about this and that, but not about schoolwork.

Fortunately, the teachers are not ordinary people. After all, they have been teaching for so many years, so they naturally have ways to deal with it.

Exam! Big exam!

That’s right, you will take the test on the first day and be divided into classes based on your scores.

Even Fang Nanzhi couldn't escape it, and the questions were the same as those of people from other academies.

Their academy doesn't hold major exams frequently, so every exam is very important, and everyone became serious.

Fang Nanzhi felt a little guilty. God knows she hadn't practiced calligraphy for several days, and she was unsure. If her writing was too ugly, the teacher might not give her any marks...

The exam lasted the whole morning, and classes continued in the afternoon. The students were more focused and listened to the lectures more seriously. The teachers took time to mark the papers during lunch and breaks. Fortunately, there were not so many students, so after marking the papers, they had enough time to announce the rankings to everyone before school ended.

The students are still very nervous because it is the first major exam of the year and many of them may have to change classes.

Qin Yan's classmates all thought that he would definitely be promoted.

Since he arrived, his achievements have been obvious to everyone, and no one doubts this. As long as he performs normally in the morning exam, he will definitely be promoted.

Qin Yan's final result was 20th in the academy.

Enter Class A.

Everyone had a feeling that it was as expected.

Fang Nanzhi is with her husband right now. Her grades are much worse than her brother's. She only ranked 100th, but it is enough to get into Class C. At her age, Mr. Zheng is still very satisfied.

"Then sir, am I going to study in Class C? Can't I always follow you?"

Zheng Juren put down her paper and said, "Of course you still have to study with me, but you can't just study with me all the time. Now that you've passed the exam, you should study in class for half a day every day and communicate more with your classmates."

"If you want to study, don't just read books. You should talk to others and debate with them. Listen to how others study and think about why they want to study with you. It will benefit you more and help you improve faster. Come back to me in the next half day."

After Master Wei finished his get out of class, Qin Yan came over and learned about Mr. Zheng's decision.

Fang Nanzhi was obedient and didn't think much about it, but Qin Yan immediately understood the deeper meaning behind it. This was the master paving the way for his sister.

If you just treat her as an ordinary woman and think that she will get married in the future, she will naturally stay at home. She can study, but she doesn't need to study so thoroughly.

But his sister is now studying the teachings of Confucius and Mencius, as well as medicine. She is destined to walk the world like a man in the future. She must not shut herself off and only watch what goes on in the backyard, otherwise all her knowledge will be wasted.

This is not what Mr. Zheng would like to see, nor is it what Mr. Zhou would like to see.

In that case, she needed connections and enough skills to avoid criticism. Zheng Juren started with his sister, letting the people in the academy get used to her presence. With more contact, they would take it for granted.

This goes on day after day, year after year. Although it is impossible for everyone to understand, at least those around his sister will get used to it.

As for him as a brother, he will naturally support his sister, because his network of contacts is his sister's network of contacts.

You can't just stay at home and study forever. When you grow up, the label of gender difference will suddenly be put on you, restricting your sister's actions in every way.

He turned around and looked at his sister who was clueless and still doing her homework seriously. He didn't remind her, but just remembered the kindness from Mr. Zheng and Mr. Zhou.

He will also study harder. He not only wants to be his sister's brother and her connection, but he also wants to stand high enough to be her support.

From that day on, the brother and sister officially returned to the academy and were busy studying. They had returned to the state before the Chinese New Year, and their lives were slowly getting back on track.

Qian Fengping has been busy these days. She has visited Taohua Village several times and has become more and more familiar with several families.

Of course, every time I went to the door, I had to find some excuse. Fortunately, my family was in business, so I had plenty of excuses. I went to the village to pick chestnuts, etc. There was always an excuse, but whether the work could be done or not was still a mystery.

But after going there so many times, I didn't find out anything. I only knew that Cui Huai, the head of the Cui family, was the village chief and had a good relationship with the chief clerk in the county town. No one in the village dared to offend the Cui family and followed their lead.

When she came back and told Fang Tong about it, Fang Tong became even more puzzled. He didn't find out anything wrong, but it did confirm that the girl was well-off.

"But the more I listen, the more strange it seems to me. How could she fall for Tiezhu like this?"

Seeing his wife looking at him, he touched his nose and said, "I'm not saying Tiezhu is bad. The main point is that when they were looking for a man for their daughter, didn't they think about whether the family background was equal? Can't they pick a better one than Tiezhu?"

"If there's nothing wrong with this family, and they think Tiezhu is worthy of them, why do I find it more and more unbelievable the more I listen?"

But these were all speculations. He had no evidence and couldn't say anything, especially to Tiezhu.

What if the girl was attracted to Tiezhu just because he was honest, hardworking, and good-looking? Just like they all wanted to be brothers with Tiezhu, was that why she liked him?

However, if he wanted to know if there was anything wrong here, he had to put this matter aside for the time being.

Because the owner of Juxianglou has arrived.
