Everyone is a little surprised, because in the perception, reading and literacy is a matter for boys, especially in ordinary families, and girls’ families have no chance to receive education.
So Mr. Jiang asked Meng Li and Meng Yao one after another, leaving everyone puzzled.
Meng Li said: "Not yet."
"That's good, let's learn a little bit. You can't do academic work, and you can't take the imperial examination. At least you must be able to write and read. Only in this way can you be wise and rational. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, you will have your own solutions. , as a daughter’s family, we will not suffer easily.”
Mr. Jiang's words made everyone's hearts brighten. Yes, why didn't they think that the younger sister could also receive education?
If we put it in the previous family conditions, it would be fine for the rest of our lives.
But now, the family is getting richer and richer, and the younger sister should also know some words. As Mr. Jiang said, be sensible and don't suffer.
Meng Li looked at her younger sister: "Yao Yao, do you want to learn to write and read?"
Meng Yao's mood changed when Mr. Jiang said something like that just now.
It turns out that she can also learn knowledge——
She had always had a vague feeling that something was missing in her heart or in her life and needed to be fulfilled.
"Well, I want to learn. I want to learn. Mr. Jiang, please teach me. I will study hard."
The little girl opened her big black eyes, full of sincerity.
"Okay, I will mainly teach your second brother, and I will also take some time to guide you. You are still young. As long as you are diligent and studious, you will learn quickly and learn a lot." Mr. Jiang said.
Meng Wu was silent. In fact, he wanted to learn a little bit, but when he thought about the fact that there was so much work to do in the family, his younger brother and younger sister both had to learn. The eldest sister and her husband often went to the mountains to find herbs. He was the boss of the family. You have to support it.
When Meng Li looked over, he laughed and waved his hands: "You two have learned, and there are four educated people in your family. I am not interested in these things by nature. If you speak with knowledge, I will speak with my fists. "
Meng Li didn't miss the desire in her eldest brother's eyes just now, but the eldest brother said that he didn't want to learn and that he was doing it for this family.
Learning knowledge has only advantages and no disadvantages. Big brother must understand this truth.
However, Mr. Jiang teaches the second brother, and also teaches the younger sister. He cannot teach one more person, otherwise it will be too torturous.
Others can take the initiative to ask for it, but they cannot make such a request.
When there is a chance in the future, let me let my eldest brother learn a few words.
That was how it was settled.
Knowing that she could learn, Meng Yao's eyes kept shining and the smile on her face never disappeared.
Meng Li saw this and couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth. She hoped that her family would get better and better, and that everyone would achieve their own success.
Mr. Jiang is here for the first time today and said he would start teaching tomorrow.
After dinner, Meng Ning took his little sister to decorate Mr. Jiang's room.
It is arranged in the main room next to the main hall.
This house has always been empty. If there were parents, it would have been used by the parents. Now it is suitable for Mr. Jiang to live in it.
As for the study room used by Lu Mu, it was used as a place for teaching by his husband. There were partitions in it, so it wouldn't affect Lu Mu if he wanted to read or write in it.
Meng Ning found Lu Mu and apologized to him about the incident, because there was really no other suitable room, and Mr. Jiang could not be allowed to teach in the back room.
"It doesn't matter." Lu Mu said.
"Okay, I'll set up a table for you in the cubicle and move the bookshelves over."
Lu Mu looked at Meng Ning's figure entering the study, and his expression changed for a moment.
There was no need to tell him specifically about this kind of thing, but the second room took care of his feelings.
Meng Li casually cooked a bowl of white porridge and brought it to the room where Xie Xian lived.
She prepared some medicine to change her clothes. In fact, she should change her medicine this morning.
Xie Xian opened his eyes when he heard footsteps and saw a girl coming in carrying porridge.
He vaguely remembered that when he was dying yesterday, such a figure seemed to appear in front of him. He asked her for help, but she was unwilling to help.
Therefore, Xie Xian looked at Meng Li with that scrutinizing gaze.
"White porridge?" He said in disgust.
"What your family gave me this morning was meat porridge."
Meng Li didn't expect that what Xie Xian said to her after he woke up would be so unpleasant.
The family gave Xie Xian good food because they thought he was Lu Mu's friend.
But now she knows that his relationship with Lu Mu is not good.
"If you like to eat, you will fall down if you don't. After eating, change the medicine." Meng Li put the porridge on the small table next to the bed.
In order to ensure nutrition and let the person leave as soon as he is done with it, she still added a spoonful of oil and stirred it.
Xie Xian had no choice but to hold up the porridge bowl with some difficulty and put spoonfuls into his mouth.
"I told you that you are a girl who refuses to save anyone, and is so hard-hearted that I was not saved by someone in the end."
Meng Li was tinkering with the medical supplies when he heard this and looked at him like an idiot.
"Who do you think saved you? It took me more than two hours to pull you back from hell. If it weren't for Lu Mu's sake, you would be a corpse in the mountains now."
Xie Xian paused for a moment: "I heard that Fu and Lu Mu got married here. Are you his wife?"
"How else could you have been saved?"
Xie Xian looked at her with an expression that was hard to describe.
Meng Li felt a little uncomfortable when he saw her, so she fiddled with the medicine and said, "When you're done eating, I'll give you the medicine."
Xie Xian faced her back and said, "Don't worry, your medical expenses will be paid to you when the time comes."
He didn't want to be indebted to anyone, let alone owe it to a country girl.
"Just settle the matter settled with Lu Mu." Meng Li walked out of the room.
Lu Mu came over and said, "Go and apply medicine to Xie Xian."
"I'm still drinking porridge. I'll take the medicine when I'm done eating."
Lu Mu looked at the door, and a fifteen-year-old boy walked in. He was delicate and handsome, and looked a little reserved.
"Hello, Brother Lu, hello, Sister Meng." He greeted sweetly.
Meng Li was a little confused as to what he was doing.
"He is an apprentice in Tongxintang, his name is Xiao Su. You are always busy, so you don't have to work hard to change the dressing for the injured. While Xie Xian is recuperating, let Xiao Su change his dressing. You can teach him later. .”
Meng Li felt that Lu Mu was doing this too much.
"It doesn't take much time to change the dressing. It takes three quarters of an hour, or at most half an hour."
"It hasn't been long yet. I sympathize with my wife's hard work, so please don't argue with me."
Xiao Su lowered her head and lowered her sense of presence. After all, the couple was in love.
"Xiao Su will come over to change the medicine at the specified time every day. Madam, just prepare the medicine."
Lu Mu's tone was firm.
Now that he has made up his mind, Meng Li has nothing to say. Moreover, she doesn't want to get close to that Xie Xian, which saves worry and trouble. She was just afraid of troublesome Xiao Su.
"Okay, Xiao Su, I'll trouble you for the time being." Meng Li took out a piece of silver from her sleeve and gave it to him.
Xiao Su quickly took a step back: "Sister Meng, Brother Lu has already given you so much."
Meng Li thought that she usually gave pocket money to her family from time to time, and each person had saved dozens of taels.
"Okay, wait for me. Since you are also studying medicine, I will demonstrate it once and you will remember it."
