In the famine year, the group pet cubs awakened to farm in Shanhaijing

Chapter 81
Hearing that such a child was asking about Juye at first, Zheng Bai was a little bit dumbfounded.

Facing Cheng Miaomiao's serious eyes, he felt that she was indeed serious about her question. He thought for a while, and said: "As long as you read the Four Books and Five Classics carefully several times, it is not difficult to be admitted to Tongsheng. As for the scholar, I haven't passed the exam yet." , I don’t know if it’s good or not for the time being.”

"Uncle Zeng told us that elder brother Ji Huai can still pass the exam as a child, but I can't."

How majestic it is to hear someone call her Cheng Tongsheng!

Cheng Miaomiao raised her head, looked at him with black and white eyes, and asked distressedly, "Why can't I? Is it really just because I'm a girl?"

Ji Huai also looked at him curiously.

This Zheng Bo didn't know what to say to her.

After hesitating for a moment, he still said: "In the previous dynasty, the female emperor was in power, so the imperial court used the imperial examination to recruit many female officials. Now that His Majesty has succeeded to the throne, in order to prevent women from messing up the government, this road is blocked, so women cannot pass the imperial examination. professional."

Cheng Miaomiao yelled in surprise: "Empress?!"

Seeing her interested face, Zheng Bo hurriedly said: "This is still a taboo now, so don't go out and tell others about it. If people in the government hear about it, they will lose their heads!"

Ji Huai rubbed her little head and patted her soothingly.

Nodding to him, he said, "We remember."

Cheng Miaomiao also hurriedly covered her mouth, nodding repeatedly to promise that she would never say anything.

In fact, she wasn't very interested in these things, but Uncle Zeng always stopped talking halfway to whet people's appetites, so she wanted to know.Now that she has learned the reason, she naturally doesn't care much about being a child student.

"Why did you come here?"

At this time, a stern voice suddenly came from outside the door.

Looking at the two children sitting in the main room, Madam Yu almost frowned into a frown. If she hadn't carried a vegetable basket on her hand, she would have used her hands to feel if her crying face, which could stop children from crying, had changed.

Why did everyone else scare her, but didn't scare this little girl?

The three people in the room immediately turned their heads to look over. Cheng Miaomiao's eyes lit up immediately, and he immediately jumped off the stool, ran to Niangzi Yu's side, and took the vegetable basket in her hand.

While holding her hand, he handed over the vegetable basket to Ji Huai.

Because the table is too high, it is simply too unfriendly to a small little Douding like Cheng Miaomiao, so the matter of putting the vegetable basket on the table can only be left to Brother Ji Huai.

"Didn't you let me come to play yesterday, I will come today!"

Cheng Miaomiao raised her face, looked at her expectantly, and beckoned her to look at the peaches she brought on the table.

Madam Yu: "..."

That's really just polite talk.

Ji Huai greeted her with a light smile.

This is what Uncle Zeng said. When you meet elders, you should say hello, especially those who look fierce.

No matter how fierce the other party's face is, who wouldn't like to see a pretty child smiling at him?
Zheng Bai got up cautiously, and shouted: "Mother, I see that Miaomiao and Brother Huai are here, so I invite them to come in and sit for a while, then I will continue to chop the firewood in the yard."

"You can split firewood at any time, but you can't read books at any time."

Madam Yu frowned, and said: "The plan of the day lies in the morning. Do you want to chop firewood in such a good morning? Your father used to get up at dawn to study and never dared to delay in chores. Don't you remember?"

After two questioning sentences in succession, it can be seen that she is angry again.

Zheng Bai complained incessantly in his heart, so he had to change his words immediately: "Got it, mother, I'm going to read a book now."

After finishing speaking, he didn't care about entertaining the little guests, so he walked to the side room with his head drooping.

"Huh?" Cheng Miaomiao opened her eyes wide in surprise, and clapped her hands in admiration: "The plan of a day lies in the morning, good sentence! Aunt Yu, you know a lot, you are amazing!"

Madam Yu: "..."

She is often praised for being amazing, but this is the first time she is praised by such a young child, it feels weird.

Madam Yu said with a straight face: "The next sentence is that the year's plan lies in spring."

Cheng Miaomiao raised her hand and said, "I know this!"

There are four seasons in a year. Spring is the season for all things to grow. Animals reproduce and plants germinate. It is also the season for farmers to cultivate. Only when they cultivate in spring can they harvest in autumn!

This is no trouble to the little mountain god!

Her dark eyes flickered, and the words 'super cute, wait for praise' were written all over her face.

That tone of pride can be said to have no humility at all.

Madam Yu saw that she speaks so clearly and tidied up her whole body, which is very different from those kids with muddy hands and snot noses, so she knows that she is indeed smarter than ordinary kids.

Madam Yu likes obedient and sensible children.

Only then did his face soften a little, and he said, "Not bad."

Cheng Miaomiao was praised, and her tail was so happy that she almost cocked her tail, and asked while the iron was hot: "What do you usually do at home? We come to play with you, so we have to go with you."

"Embroidery, reading."

Madam Yu glanced at her, she didn't think such a lively and comfortable child could sit safely.

Ji Huai guessed what she meant, and said, "Miaomiao and I have both been enlightened, and have memorized the Three-Character Classic and Thousand-Character Classic these days. I heard that your family has a lot of books. Can I read them here?"

Cheng Miaomiao nodded again and again, staring at her eagerly with wide round eyes.

Guaranteed: "We read books, and we won't disturb Brother Zheng's reading!"

She invited this person yesterday, and now the two children are staring at her intently, no matter how hard-hearted and unkind Madam Yu has no way to refuse, she can only say: "Then you wait here."

She went to Zheng Bai's room and took two books and handed them to the two children.

The book for Cheng Miaomiao is about the surnames of hundreds of families, and the book for Ji Huai is the Analects of Confucius.

Although the skins of the two books are old and damaged, not only are they not broken, but they are more neat and clean, which shows that the owner of the books takes great care of them.

At present, the books used for children's enlightenment are mostly three hundred thousand. Madam Yu just heard from Ji Huai that they had read the Three Character Classic and the Thousand Character Classic, so she chose a hundred family names for the two of them. It can be seen that they are exchanging look.

Madam Yu herself took the vegetable basket and the peaches on the table into the kitchen.

Then he took out the half-embroidered embroidery from the house.

She was worried that the two children would not be able to calm down and read books, and even more worried that the books they took out would be torn and damaged by them, but after reading for a while, she found that they were quite quiet while reading, and even Cheng Miaomiao, who she thought would be noisy, was very peaceful. .

Only then did Madam Yu feel relieved, she lowered her head and picked up the embroidery needle to concentrate on embroidering.

On the contrary, Zheng Bai in the room found this scene extremely strange.

His mother gets along so well with such a young child, and hasn't driven him home yet?
The time of happy reading (reading stories) flies by.

Holding the wobbly head of the two little ones, he quietly moved to Niangzi Yu's side.

Madam Yu paused slightly, turned her head to look at Cheng Miaomiao who was running over, with a serious face, and said, "What's wrong?"

Seeing her stern look, Cheng Miaomiao felt a little apprehensive, but when she thought of her warm invitation and lending her a book, she was no longer afraid. He turned the book to a certain page and pointed to an unfamiliar word and asked, "Can you please?" Can you teach me what word this is?"

No problem at all.

Faced with a studious child, Madam Yu certainly would not refuse her question.

Madam Yu lowered her head and moved closer to the book. She didn't see the words clearly until her eyes were almost close to the book, and then she answered her one by one.

Cheng Miaomiao said that after writing it all down, she asked suspiciously: "Auntie, why do you want to read like this?"

Madam Yu said indifferently: "My eyes are blurred, I can't see clearly."
