The beauty who wears fast has many babies

"What suggestions does the Marquis' wife have?" Dong's father asked, touching the pipe in front of him.

Hearing Dong's father's question, the others came to their senses and waited for Dong Fan's answer.

Dong Fan smiled and said, "My wife said that my brother is in poor health and can't do physical work, but he is tenacious in learning. In the future, he can take part in the imperial examination and get an official position." Dong's father nodded slightly after hearing this, and a relieved smile appeared on his face.

At this time, the third brother Dongyang interrupted and said: "I think I am suitable for learning martial arts. In the future, I can protect my family, join the army to kill the enemy, and win glory for my country!" Dongyang said excitedly.

Father Dong looked at Dongyang, then at the other children, and after a moment of contemplation, he said, "Dongyang's idea is not bad, but learning martial arts is not an easy thing. It requires a spirit of hard work and perseverance."

The fourth son, Dongguang, sat quietly by the side and then spoke up: "Father, I like carpentry and want to learn from the carpenter in the village so that I can have a skill in the future."

Dong's father looked at Dong Guang, a glint of admiration flashed in his eyes, and said, "That's good. With a skill in hand, you won't have to worry about making a living wherever you go."

"Hahahaha, what you said is not much different from the suggestions my wife gave me." Dong Fan just started, and everyone expressed their thoughts.

Dong Fan paused, then continued, "Madam also said that girls should learn some skills to support themselves. She said Xiuniang is good at embroidery and can continue her studies. She will definitely achieve great things in the future."

At this time, Dong's mother, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke: "What about you? Did the madam tell you what you are good at?"

Dong's father looked at Dong Fan and said with a smile, "He's smart and hardworking. He could learn some business skills. If he gets the chance in the future, he could make a career."

After listening to Dong's father's words, Dong's mother nodded thoughtfully.

"Dad, you really got it right!" Dong Fan said excitedly.

"Madam said I was clever and asked me to follow the steward of the manor to gain more experience."

"That's great." Father Dong nodded with satisfaction. "You all have your own directions. You should work hard towards your goals in the future."

"We will follow our father's teachings!" several children answered in unison.

Dong Fan was secretly delighted. He hadn't expected his wife to know everyone in the family so well and offer such sound advice. He decided to follow her instructions and study business.

From then on, in addition to studying in the school, Dong Fan often went to the farm to ask the manager various questions.

He was diligent and studious, and soon mastered many business tricks.

As the days passed, Dong Fan gradually grew into a smart and capable young man.

He always kept his wife's advice in mind and worked hard to realize his ideals.

Of course, these are all things to come. The first problem facing the Dong family now is to settle down and fill their stomachs.

"Okay, that's settled then. Pack up and go to bed early." After saying that, Dong's father got up and went back to the house.

Seeing this, the family went back to their rooms to sleep, and Niu Niu had already fallen asleep in Xiuniang's arms.

"Second brother, the three of us will sleep together tonight." Dongyang said.

"Okay. We brothers can have a chat." Dong Fan replied.

"Fanzi, don't stay up too late, go to bed early." Dong Xiang gave this instruction and took his wife and children back to the room.

"Okay, I got it, big brother." Dong Fan nodded, then went into the house with Dongyang Dongguang.

The kang in the room was large enough for the three brothers to sleep on. They hadn't expected Dong Fan to return so suddenly, so the quilts weren't quite ready. Fortunately, winter wasn't here yet, so the three of them had enough.

"Second brother, please tell us how you have been doing recently?" Dongyang asked impatiently as soon as he lay down.

"I'm living quite well in the Marquis' Mansion. Everyone there treats me very well." Dong Fan answered simply.

"That's good." Dongyang breathed a sigh of relief.

"By the way, second brother, have you seen the Marquis? What does he look like? Is he fierce?" Dong Guang asked curiously.

"I haven't met the Marquis either, but I heard that he is a very majestic man." Dong Fan guessed, remembering the housekeeper's awe of the Marquis.

"Oh..." Dongguang was a little disappointed.

"I've only seen him from afar and haven't had any close contact with him, so I'm not very clear about what kind of person the Marquis is." Dong Fan continued, with a hint of regret and helplessness in his tone.

"Okay, go to bed quickly. We still have a lot of things to do tomorrow." Dong Fan urged.

Dongyang and Dongguang responded and stopped talking. After a while, the three of them fell asleep.

The next day, Manager Li brought people to the boss's house. He already knew about the excitement of last night.

"Manager Li, I'm sorry for not welcoming you in person! Please come in quickly. I wonder what brings you here today?" Dong's father greeted him with a smile on his face, and while speaking polite words, he led the man in.

"It's nothing big. I just brought a few people here to sign the tenant contract with you. Besides, doesn't your Dalang want to go to school? I have already arranged for him so that he can teach and study at the same time." Manager Li said with a smile.

"That's great! Thank you, Manager Li!" Dong's father said excitedly.

Dongyang jumped for joy when he heard the news.

"Xiang'er, why don't you thank Manager Li quickly!" Dong's father said.

"Thank you, Manager Li!" Dong Xiang hurriedly expressed his gratitude.

"No need to thank me, it's just a small matter. If you have any difficulties in the future, just tell me." Manager Li said with a smile.

The signing ceremony was completed quickly, and the Dong family officially became tenants of the Marquis' Mansion.

Dong Xiang also began his school life. He studied very hard, hoping to pass the imperial examination as soon as possible and repay the kindness of the Marquis' Mansion.

As the days passed, the Dong family's lives gradually improved.

Dong's father and mother were busy reclaiming wasteland and planting crops.

Dongguang learned the craft from the village carpenter, while Xiuniang focused on taking care of the children.

Dong Fan was also busy. While studying at the academy, he also used his free time to help out at the farm. He carefully observed the business dealings in the farm and learned the skills of doing business.

Everyone was looking forward to their future life and was full of energy. Thanks to everyone's efforts, the family gradually began to improve.

"Let's work hard this year and try to send Ping An to school." At the dinner table in the evening, Dong's father looked at everyone and said, his eyes full of expectations and hopes for the future.

This is an important decision and a new starting point for their family.

Dong's mother nodded in agreement: "Great! It's time for Ping'an to go to school."

She knew that reading was crucial for a child's growth, and Ping'an had always been smart and studious. Sending him to school would bring him more opportunities and possibilities.

Dong Fan also expressed his support: "That's right, we must work together to make Ping An have better development." He understood that education can not only change an individual's destiny, but also bring hope and happiness to the entire family.

Ping'an sat aside, and after hearing everyone's words, his heart was filled with joy and anticipation.

He knew that this meant he would have the opportunity to be exposed to a wider world and learn more knowledge and skills.

Although Ping An is only four years old, he said sensibly, "I will definitely study hard!"

"Good! Good boy, you have backbone, hahahahaha!"

The family sat together in a warm and harmonious atmosphere.
