Chapter 59 The Literate Country Girl
Because of the quarrel between Zhang Shi and Wang Guichu San, Ye Xing and Wang Shi were afraid, and they didn't dare to give New Year's gifts casually anymore, anyway, they were relatives who hadn't seen each other all year round, so they could say whatever they liked Bar.

The family of three completely rested at home and rested peacefully. Ye Xing couldn't rest after lying down for a while. She felt that she was a bitch.When I was so busy running a shop, I wanted to lie flat, but now I just rested at home and wanted to find something to do after two days.

So Ye Xing continued to read the characters with Ye Tao after thinking about the new products that the store would sell after the Chinese New Year.Ye Tao was only a four-year-old child, after two or three days of crazy play, many words became blurred without review.

Ye Xing had no choice but to take her and Mrs. Wang to review from the beginning. Thanks to the blessing of the two little teachers who taught her six times a day, the two of them quickly recovered their memory after reviewing for a while.Even when Ye Tao went out to play with the children in the village, she would pop out the words "San Zi Jing" such as "At the beginning of life, nature is good".

At the beginning, the children who played together did not respond. After all, there are many children in the village who go to school to study, and "San Zi Jing" is basically their first lesson. Sometimes in the village, they can always hear it. Ye Tao children are learning to speak Also normal.

Until Ye Tao saw a boy holding an old book in his hand, Ye Xing encouraged Ye Tao to look through the books she bought more at home, so Ye Tao also wanted to see what was written in the boy's hand.

Originally, the boy secretly took out his brother's book from home to show off, but now a little one wants to touch a group of children with dirty hands, of course he doesn't allow it.

"Go, go, play, this is my brother's book, you, a girl, can't understand it." He slapped Ye Tao's hand away, and quickly put the book into his arms.

Ye Tao felt very aggrieved, she touched her red hand and said, "Who said I can't read, I could recite the Three Character Classic just now!"

"You bragging!" The other children immediately retorted, "How can you read at such a young age? You are not as tall as my shoulders. Besides, there are no girls in the village who can read. Send me to the school to study, my eldest sister and second sister are much older than me and can't go!"

"That's right, she's bragging, and I'll call her the bragging king from now on, hahahahahaha!"

"I'm not bragging, my sister and my mother can both read and write." Ye Tao blushed with anger, and she shouted vigorously, "If you don't believe me, take out the book and let me have a look, I'm sure I know someone."

When the other children heard it, they had nothing else to do anyway, so why not ask Ye Tao to recognize it, it would be fun if they didn't recognize it, so they started booing again and asked the boy to take out the book.

"Take it, take it. If you can't read, you have to give us all the candy in your pocket!" The boy had long coveted the candy in Ye Tao's pocket. I heard that it was the kind sold by Ye Xing's shop. Anyway, he didn't believe that Ye Tao could really read and write, and it would be nice for her to eat a few candies for nothing.

"Okay!" Ye Tao agreed wholeheartedly, wanting to clear her reputation as a braggart.

The boy took the book out of his pocket. Because the book was very old, he didn't dare to turn it too hard, so he turned half of it and turned it sideways for Ye Tao to read.Because the ink on the book was a little faded, Ye Tao squeezed beside him and tried to identify it.

Just when everyone was about to laugh at Ye Tao, Ye Tao pointed to the words on the book with his chubby finger and said: "Zi, Xue, Xi, Zhi..." Every time Ye Tao said a word, everyone's mouths widened. At [-] minutes, an egg can be stuffed in the back of the mouth.

"Hey, is what she said right? I've already recognized more than a dozen or twenty characters!" The surrounding children asked, poking the boy's hand.

How did the boy know that he just went to school, and he didn't listen carefully when the teacher taught him. The few words he knew, Ye Tao, were all right, so he could only say: "Yes, they are all right, otherwise Can a little girl make up so much?"

Now everyone was convinced, it turned out that Ye Tao was not bragging, she really could read.Many girls looked at Ye Tao's proud look with envy. Not only can she wear new clothes now, she has a lot of delicious food, and she can even read and write. She is almost as good as the boys at home.

When the children returned home, they naturally told the adults about this strange incident. The adults did not expect that even Ye Tao, who was only four years old, could know so many words, and she also said that even Mrs. Wang started to study when she was so old.Therefore, many women would ask Mrs. Wang a few words about reading and writing when they met Mrs. Wang in the village, and even deliberately took the characters on the paper wrapped outside the snacks for Mrs. Wang to recognize.

Mrs. Wang only said that the name of the store was on the paper, and she knew which store it was after walking on the street every day for a long time, and she could recognize it after a long time.It was Wang's statement that made everyone feel normal, otherwise what kind of characters would a widow like Wang who runs a shop recognize.

Ye Xing was impatient to deal with them, so she just immersed herself in practicing calligraphy in the room.When she took out the copybook, she couldn't help but think of Shen She. He must have laughed at her for a long time when he saw his crooked handwriting, otherwise why would Zhishu specially send several copybooks to her.

Ye Xing wrote several big characters and scrapped them because she thought that Shen She was distracted. She shook her head, put aside all the distracting thoughts in her mind, and started to practice calligraphy after she calmed down.She was suffocating in her heart, she must not let Shen She underestimate her!

When Mrs. Chen passed by Ye Xing's window, she saw Ye Xing concentrating on writing in the room. The posture of holding the brush was really the same as that of the scholars in the village.Whenever something catches Chen's eyes, she must spread it around the village through her mouth, so the fact that Ye Xing can write big characters is widely spread.

The people who originally thought that Mrs. Wang could only recognize signs were shocked again. After hearing this, Mrs. Li snorted coldly at the dinner table: "Hmph, living in Fucheng and earning a few bad money, I really think I am a lady It’s still written in big characters, it’s ridiculous, whoever is she a country girl writing for, and any scholar will want her.”

Ye An didn't take it seriously either, the Wang family only had two daughters who couldn't take the exam, and they were just country girls who could read.Their family is different. There are two sons who follow the ancestors and the ancestors, and they can change families in the future.

"By the way, Jizong, how are you doing with your studies now, did you say anything?" Ye An suddenly remembered that he hadn't asked Jizong about his studies for a long time.

"Ah, that gentleman said that I'm doing well, but I need to buy more books and study more." Ye Jizong didn't expect his father to suddenly ask him about his studies, so he could only swallow his meal and make some nonsense. Then hint to need some more money to spend.

When Mrs. Li heard that Ye Jizu wanted to buy books, she immediately said: "We can all see Jizong studying so hard every day. There is nothing to ask about it. Jizong, I will ask your father to buy books for you later, ten taels of silver Is it enough?"
