After dying early, I traveled to ancient times and became a boy

"Xiao An is really good." Ye Xunqing said that Feng Jing'an was good, but in fact he was still thinking about his Ah Heng. Ah Heng was the best. At the very least, Ah Heng was more handsome than his brother.

Who doesn't like a tall, mighty, muscular handsome guy? This is getting off topic. Ye Xunqing feels that he is becoming more and more gay. Well, in fact, he has become a gay a long time ago.

"Ah...ah..." Xiao Xuer interrupted their conversation because he got the brush Ye Xunqing used to write and was putting the brush tip to his mouth.

Ye Xunqing noticed this and immediately replaced the ink-filled brush with a new one. Ancient brushes are different from modern industrial brushes. Ancient brushes were made by hand, selecting the hairs one by one, and each brush was very expensive.

Although Liu Xiaojing had never been to school, she knew that things used for studying were very expensive. When she saw Feng Xu eating the brush, she immediately said, "Second sister-in-law, don't let Xiaoxu play with it. It's very expensive."

"Nothing, nothing." Ye Xunqing said with a smile, "Our little Xu'er knows how to eat ink at such a young age. He will definitely be a learned man in the future." This reminded him of the "Zhuazhou" ceremony for children, so he asked, "What did Xiao Xu'er grab when he did it?"

When Liu Xiaojing mentioned this, her face turned grim. She was a little depressed and said, "There was no Grab the Week ceremony."

"Ah? Why?" Ye Xunqing thought that the ancients must have paid great attention to these things. Full moon banquets and first birthday ceremonies were both very important, so how could they not have the "Zhuazhou" ceremony?

"They want someone from my family to come for the Zhuazhou ceremony." Liu Xiaojing said with a wry smile, "My family thinks I'm embarrassing and doesn't want to come. My parents-in-law said that since there's no one from my family, then we can't do it and talk about it later."

If it were Ye Xunqing, even if he was alone, he would still have to hold a birthday party for his cub and take a lot of photos and videos. Unfortunately, there are no cameras or mobile phones now.

"If you don't want to do it, then don't do it." Liu Xiaojing brought the child over and kissed the child's face. "When I have money, I will do it for him."

Ye Xunqing nodded, "Yes, I will definitely attend the ceremony then."

Liu Xiaojing smiled and said, "I will have to ask my second sister-in-law to lend some paper and pen for Xiaoxu to grab. I hope he can grab paper and pen more often, so that he can pass the exam and become a high-ranking official in the future."

A scholar-level degree doesn't guarantee high official status, and Liu Xiaojing, who had never been to school or traveled abroad, didn't know that. In her mind, a scholar-level degree was considered a very impressive scholar. Mothers all hoped their children would have a promising future, and Liu Xiaojing was no exception.

Ye Xunqing went to the cupboard and took out some snacks. They were all placed on the table for the wedding yesterday. He put them away after he finished placing them and left them for snacks.

"Xiaobai, Xiaoyan, take a break and eat something." Ye Xunqing pays great attention to the combination of work and rest, otherwise it would be very tiring to keep writing.

Ye Xunbai and Mo Yuyan put down their pens and began to enjoy the delicious afternoon tea.

Ye Xunqing picked out a piece of delicate pastry and fed it to Xiao Xuer. Xiao Xuer was too young, so he could only eat a little at a time.

"Xiao Jing, try this walnut shortbread I made myself." Ye Xunqing handed a piece of shortbread to Liu Xiaojing. "This year's walnuts haven't come in yet. If they were new walnuts, the shortbread would taste even better."

"Delicious." Liu Xiaojing liked the taste. "Is it walnut? I can't taste it."

"It doesn't matter, as long as it tastes good." Ye Xunqing added other things to cover up the walnut flavor.

While eating, Liu Xiaojing started to think about something else. "Second sister-in-law, what are you writing?"

Ye Xunqing replied: "I'm practicing calligraphy. I haven't written for a long time. My hands are rusty and my handwriting is not good."

Liu Xiaojing stretched his neck to take a look. "No, I think your writing is quite beautiful."

Ye Xunqing said: "Actually, it doesn't matter whether it looks good or not. We don't need to write in our daily lives." Although he said this, he still let Ye Xunbai read. Reading cannot change one's destiny, but at least it can reduce ignorance.

"Is Brother Bai also practicing calligraphy?" Liu Xiaojing leaned over to take a look. "Brother Bai's handwriting is also beautiful."

Ye Xunbai narrowed his eyes and said, "Thank you, Sister Xiaojing, for the compliment."

Liu Xiaojing saw Mo Yuyan's handwriting again. She was shocked when she saw it. Even though she had never been to school, she knew that Mo Yuyan's handwriting was extremely beautiful, neat and straight, just like the handwriting of a scholar. Although she had never seen the handwriting of a scholar.

Seeing that they could all write, I felt bad when I thought about how I couldn’t read a single word. “I wish I could read too.”

"It's never too late to learn to read and write." Ye Xunqing said, "If you want to learn, I'll teach you."

Liu Xiaojing was very surprised. "You, you want to teach me? But, but I don't have any money to give you..."

"It's easy." Ye Xunqing said with a smile: "You can learn the craft from me while working. When you have free time, you can sit down and learn to read. Your wages can be used to pay for your tuition."

Liu Xiaojing opened his mouth but couldn't say anything for a long time.

Ye Xunqing thought she would not agree, so he said, "It's okay if you don't agree..."

"Promise, promise." Liu Xiaojing was ecstatic. "That's it. I can start working now!"

Ye Xunqing swallowed the last half of the sentence, "I'll still teach you." Having a hardworking, unpaid helper wasn't a bad thing. He wasn't a ruthless capitalist, though. Liu Xiaojing worked for him, so he had to pay her back, but he wasn't holding back for now. He'd pay her in a lump sum when he had more money.

Liu Xiaojing kept staring at Ye Xunbai while he was writing, but Xiaoxuer kept making trouble beside him. Ye Xunqing was afraid that Xiaoxuer would affect them, so he took Xiaoxuer out to play and asked Liu Xiaojing to stay and practice calligraphy with Ye Xunbai, starting with practicing pen holding.

"Is that so?" Liu Xiaojing held the pen tightly, fearing that it would slip.

"Be gentle..." Mo Yuyan taught her, "Hold it like I do. Don't treat it as a pen. Treat it as your own fingers and hold it gently." He has been speaking more fluently recently, but he is still a little mute.

Liu Xiaojing took a deep breath and tried a few more times, but it was still a little slippery. However, she would not give up easily. She had finally got the opportunity to learn to read, and she could not lose it. She had to learn to read, make money, and support her family!

Ye Xunqing carried Xiao Xu'er to watch Feng Jingheng and his men build a barbecue oven. The oven was in the southwest corner, where they would set up a shed to serve as a kitchen tomorrow. Fortunately, it was warm now, so the shed would last a few days. When it got colder, they would buy some bricks and build the walls.

"Why are you here?" Feng Jingheng saw Ye Xunqing coming and told him to go back. "It's hot and there's a lot of mud here. Take Xu'er back."

"We've been sitting here for a long time, so let's get some fresh air." Ye Xunqing grabbed Xiao Xu'er's hand and tickled Feng Jingheng, "Xiao Xu'er, look, uncle is not wearing any clothes. Grab his breasts."

Feng Jingheng looked at the little hands on his chest and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It was so hot, how could they wear clothes while working?
