Rebirth and farming: the prosperous days of the eldest sister of Nongmen

Chapter 47 Who Reads for Men?
The story of Ye Xing learning to read the "Three Character Classic" with two children at the door of the shop also reached the ears of Lin Xuelan and Shen Xi, and there were already several versions of rumors, so they simply made an appointment to go to the shop to see Ye Xing.

When Lin Xuelan and Shen Xi arrived, she happened to be reciting the "Three Character Classic" at the door. She knew the first part, but after listening to the latter part for a few days, she could easily pronounce it. Now she doesn't need to follow along, she can already recite it in sync with Mr. Xiao up.

"It's only been a few days. Looking at you, I'm afraid you have memorized this book by heart." Lin Xuelan waited for Ye Xing to finish memorizing it and applauded. She didn't expect Ye Xing to be able to memorize it after only a few days.

When Ye Xing saw that the two of them came here with their maid, she knew that they wanted to see if she was really learning to read and write.Ye Xing handed over the work in the shop to Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Lin, and led them into the house in the backyard.

When Shen Xi entered the door, she noticed the words written with branches on the ground in the yard, and there was a small bench at the door of the house. She pointed to the small bench curiously and said, "Whose small stool is this, why are you sitting here?"

"It's for Little Taozi. She can sit by the door and read the writing on the ground by the fire, so she can pass some time every day." Ye Xing pulled Ye Tao to her side, stroked her little furry head and said, "Hurry up." Tell the two sisters what words you have recognized recently?"

Ye Tao smiled at Lin Xuelan and Shen Xi, then snapped her little finger and said, "I learned from mother, son, food, tile, and..."

After Ye Tao tried her best to remember, Lin Xuelan couldn't help but said quickly: "Even Xiao Taozi has started to recognize so many characters, it seems that you really want to marry a scholar and change your family!"

"What about marrying a scholar? I'm only sixteen years old. Now that my business is doing well, why do I want to get married?" Ye Xingzhen was puzzled by Monk Zhang Er, she didn't understand why the topic suddenly became this.

Seeing Ye Xing's bewildered look, Shen Xi knew that she hadn't heard of the rumors outside, and quickly explained to her: "Right now, there are rumors outside that you suddenly became so high-profile in reading and writing to marry a promising man. Scholars, so that you can change your family from a business to a scholarly family."

"There are even more exaggerations!" Lin Xuelan saw that Ye Xing finally had such a day, she continued to add, "It is said in the city that you are studying hard to get rid of the smell of copper and rusticity in order to cater to those noble scholars. And also said that you may not want to make dim sum in the future, so as not to make scholars unhappy with the smell of flour."

Only now did Ye Xing know why her shop business has been particularly good recently, and even many old customers asked her not to stop opening the shop, and it turned out that this was the reason.She couldn't laugh or cry, only such a simple thing was spread like this, she finally knew the power of rumors.

"I can read and read for the sake of marrying some promising scholar, not for myself." Ye Xing felt unconvinced, why should a woman read and read for the sake of a man, "If my shop business grows in the future, I will If I can read, I will not be afraid of being deceived by those scams. And after I can read, I can read any notices posted by the government, and I don’t need others to repeat them.”

"Every time a notice is posted in Fucheng, isn't someone able to read it? Why do you have to understand it yourself?" Although Qiu Ju stayed close to Shen Xi to serve her, she never thought of learning to read characters from Shen Xi. Someone would take the initiative to pass any news to her ears. It was more interesting to hear people say than to read it by myself.

"Of course, you have to read it yourself. Those who tell you the information will describe it with their own subjective thoughts. After a few more people say it, the meaning of the information will be changed several times. You say what you heard is still the same. Just like the story of me studying with two children at the door, after passing it on a few times, it became that I was going to marry a scholar, what a mistake you said. "

Ye Xing took herself as an example, directly proving the unreliability of the message.But Lin Xuelan still didn't believe that Ye Xing's purpose of literacy was so simple. "Is it really just for these? I don't believe it. If it's more reasonable for marriage, my brother studied in school and knew many scholars. Do you want to think about it?"

"Why do women do everything for men? Dressing up is for the sweetheart, and now even studying and progressing can be for officials who haven't written a word yet." Although Ye Xing knew that the living space of ancient women was very small, but She didn't expect that Lin Xuelan would have such a thought, "I won't change myself just for a man, I am who I am, and I only live as Ye Xing for my own future, not someone's wife."

Shen Xi had never heard of Ye Xing's words. Ever since she could remember, her grandmother had asked her to be knowledgeable about books and rituals. Mother.Her aunt and aunt lived for her father, her brother, and her. They seemed to live like this from birth.

After she returned home, she was still thinking about Ye Xing's words, and everyone at the dinner table noticed her abnormal appearance.Shen Xi couldn't help but mention Ye Xing's reading and literacy. She also said what Ye Xing said about studying for herself, hoping to hear the opinions of her family.

"What she said earlier is correct. Those who don't look at it themselves, but only listen to other people's rumors, will never know the real situation. When your father first came to work in Xunyang, it was rumored that your father was here to arrest people , scared the common people to detour when they saw our family members. It took him more than half a year to quell the rumors, but he was so tired because of such rumors. It's rare for Wan to agree with Ye Xing's words. When she thought of when she first arrived in Xunyang, she felt troubled. She didn't know who was spreading rumors everywhere, so that even the old woman knew about her, and the people below would not move on her own. Think in your head.

Song also said with a smile: "She is a child with vision. It will be a tricky thing if she can't read and read the accounts when the business grows."

Shen Xi felt very happy, it turned out that both grandmother and mother thought what Ye Xing said was reasonable, but when she wanted to praise Ye Xing, Wan's tone changed.

"But I don't agree with what she said later! From ancient times to the present, women regard their husbands as the guide, so everything they do is for their own sake! If it is not for the sake of pleasing oneself, then who will she show her to be dressed up? I think she is just She can't find a good man for the time being so she just said so stubbornly, and she must not change her mouth in the future." Wan Shi stared at Shen Xi again and said meaningfully, "Xi'er, her words are all to lie to the little girl, don't you Will you take it seriously?"

Shen Xi was taken aback by Wan Shi's words, she lowered her head and said nonchalantly, "I, I didn't take it seriously."
