Chapter 123 An An's Hundred Day Banquet

Of course Tang Ming understood the meaning.

As long as Tang Yushu's contract is released and his freedom is restored, he can take part in the imperial examination in the future.

The children born are no longer slaves, but good citizens.

……

With the big cake given by Luo Siyun watching in front of him, Tang Ming was really moved.

I immediately signed a guarantee letter, stating that in just two months, everyone would be able to read a book and do calculations with an account book.

With the guarantee, Luo Siyun was relieved.

Then I gave 100 taels of silver to buy the pen, ink, paper and inkstone needed for the past two months, as well as the books for teaching, etc. After a few more instructions, I went back to the small courtyard.

The next day, Lu Mei told everyone that they would start reading and literacy in two days.

Tang Ming will be everyone's master from now on, everyone should listen to him and respect him.

Because Li Mei is the cook who is in charge of the kitchen in the compound, and she is also Tang Ming's wife.

Everyone started calling Teacher Tang Ming, Mrs. Li Mei or Mrs. Mei.

There are many people living in the compound, mostly half-grown boys and girls. It’s the first month again.

Thinking of their hard work in studying, wanting to eat better, and buying more things, Luo Siyun gave Li Mei 20 taels of silver as everyone's food expenses for this month.

Because together with Tang Yushu, there are only nine people in total, which is not a lot of people.

So with a wave of his hand, Luo Siyun tidied up the most spacious east wing room and directly changed it into a study hall.

Remove the screens, imperial concubines, architrave shelves, etc., and put in the bookcases, short square stools that were made overnight...

……

After two days of tossing like this, on the morning of the third day, classes in the courtyard school officially started, and Tang Ming was the master.

Two days later, Luo Siyun again felt that everyone was in class all day long, with books opening and closing their eyes, which was not good.

In order to prevent the people she spent so much effort and money to train from turning into nerds, Luo Siyun spent half a day adding a project to everyone based on her experience in her previous life and references from space books. That is - practicing martial arts.

There is no less than one and a half hours of martial arts training time every day.

The morning is half an hour before meals, and the afternoon is an hour before sunset. The content of martial arts training includes running, horse riding, leapfrog... (Refer to the content of military training, imagine by yourself)
Sure enough, with the amount of exercise, except for the first three days, you may not be used to it, you will easily get sleepy, and your hands and feet will hurt. After those few days, you will become more energetic and study easier.

If he thinks his train of thought is okay, Luo Siyun no longer cares about it.

About another week later, everyone began to get used to getting up at Mao Shizheng, then began to practice martial arts, had breakfast, entered the classroom at Chen Shizheng, and started a day of study time, until the sun was setting, and then returned to the courtyard, Starting to practice martial arts... such repeated days.

In the meantime, a few small things happened.

First of all, on the [-]th, Yuan Fu sent an invitation from the Zhang family, inviting her to attend the [-]-day banquet of Zhang Jinggui, also known as An An.

In fact, under normal circumstances, Luo Siyun had rescued An An, and in order to show solemnity, the invitation should be sent by the owner himself.

It's a pity that Mrs. Zhang, who is the hostess, is still bedridden and recuperating seriously.

As the male host, Mr. Zhang is not good at coming to the small courtyard where only Luo Siyun lives alone, otherwise it will be easy for people to watch and gossip.

After all the calculations, it was most appropriate for Yuan Fu to send it.

When Luo Siyun saw this invitation card, she was in a daze. Hasn't An An been a hundred days old yet?
Counting the days, wasn't he born around July [-]th?
I have encountered so many things at such a young age, if I hadn't met her then...

Shaking her head, instead of thinking about this impossible possibility, she began to think about whether she should go that day, and what she would give if she went.

On the 23rd, because the recent expenses were a bit too much, the money in the silver circle was much thinner, just as the last batch of flowers in the small courtyard were about to bloom.Luo Siyun arranged for Mama Liu to sell flowers again, because it was the last batch of flowers sold this year, so there were a lot of flowers, and for safety, Tang Ming and his wife and Luo Xiaoyun were called.

In the end, I didn't expect anything, and I earned 520 six taels of silver, and the money I spent came back, and there was still some left over!
On the 25th.

An'an hundred-day banquet, Luo Siyun thought about it, but decided not to go.

After all, the Zhang family, as an imperial merchant, would definitely have a lot of people attending the [-]-day banquet for their only son, probably some dignitaries or wealthy businessmen.

After all, businessmen in Jingguo were not able to take the imperial examination like in previous dynasties.

These people probably have as many minds as a sieve. She is just an ordinary citizen, so it's better not to get involved.

The most important thing is that she is not familiar with the Zhang family. The Zhang family is not like the Zhu family. The Zhu family has Tao'er. He is more than four years old and can understand words. With him as a bridge, she can slowly communicate with Hui Niang. Get familiar slowly.

The Zhang family didn't say that An An couldn't speak, and the only familiar Li Xingyi was not there, so she didn't know what to say when she approached her.

It's embarrassing to think about it, it's better not to go!

However, this person could not be there, and the gifts would definitely arrive. Knowing An An's brightly colored things, Luo Siyun prepared three things according to his preferences.

The first one is a rattle made of cowhide with a painted surface, and the bell hanging on it is made of gold.

The workmanship is fine, and it makes a jingling sound when shaken without being harsh. It is also pleasing to the eye when viewed.

The second one is Luo Siyun's hand-painted bunny sewed by Mama Liu, stuffed with cotton.

It was said to be a little rabbit, but it was actually bigger than An An. After Luo Siyun hugged it for a while, it was soft and comfortable.

There is a small cloth pocket in the rabbit's belly, which contains the dried flowers that are activated by spiritual energy, which can be replaced at any time.

An'an was only a few months old and had experienced so much, so her body must be a little weak.

Keeping these dried flowers by your side, smelling them often is good for your body, Luo Siyun hopes that An An will be healthier.

The third one is for Mrs. Zhang, a sachet containing some calming medicine and some dried flower petals...

What she gave were all small gadgets, which didn't seem to be too picky or cause any problems, but it seemed that she had put her heart into it.

After packing the things and giving them to Yuan Fu who came to pick her up, he said with a smile, "Thank you for going. I'm inconvenient today, so I won't bother you!"

"Please help me say sorry to Mrs. Zhang!"

Yuan Fu nodded and said with a smile, "Mrs. Zhang will receive the girl's wishes! If the girl doesn't go, then Yuan Fu will leave first!"

Speaking of which, Luo Siyun's refusal to attend the banquet was beyond Yuan Fu's expectations.

If the young master hadn't told him before he left Beijing that as long as Miss Luo didn't want to attend the hundred-day banquet of Mrs. Zhang's only son, don't force her, he might have persuaded her.

"Well, it's been hard work!" Luo Siyun handed him a small purse containing two taels of silver as he said that, and regarded it as hard work.

Speaking of her purse, I have to lament her current changes.

Now she gets two taels for every gift, but a month ago, she couldn't even give out one tael.

The purse can only hold silver that is not much bigger than the little finger, and even has dirt in it.

It's so unpredictable.

Looking at the purse that was frankly handed to him, even though he had already received it once, Yuan Fu couldn't help but be amazed.

To be honest, he has grown up so much, except on some special days and some public rewards, no one really sends purses in such an upright manner.

On the contrary, here at Luo Siyun, I have experienced it many times.
