Transmigrated into a farmer's lucky charm, all the villains in the family panicked.

Chapter 71: Destroying the enemy forces and leaving them utterly defeated.

Gan Yuwan shook her head disapprovingly: "That won't do. Sibo has a bright future ahead of him; we can't let him be held back!"

Yun Huaikang and Zhao Shi looked at her, and she explained.

"Think about it, Sibo finally met such a great Confucian scholar as Mr. Su, who gave him so many lessons every day and also prepared his essays. He's already working himself to the bone just to digest all of that. How could he possibly have the energy to teach four girls?"

"Instead of hindering Sibo's studies, it would be more practical for us to spend a little money to hire an ordinary scholar to teach him."

Upon hearing this, Zhao realized that her mother-in-law was indeed more knowledgeable than she was, and nodded with a smile. "I'll do whatever my mother-in-law says," she said, and quickly went to get busy.

Yun Huaikang now felt that his wife was right and blamed himself for not thinking things through earlier.

My son-in-law is destined to become a high-ranking official and pass the imperial examination. Mr. Su Qing himself said that he is a promising talent, so we really can't let his future be ruined.

"Okay, I understand. I'll find a tutor for my daughters when I have some free time."

Gan Yuwan grabbed his sleeve again and pulled him closer, whispering in his ear, "See if you can find a female teacher directly. Not just teach them to recognize characters."

"Teach them the rules and etiquette of wealthy families. If our family becomes successful in the future, our daughters' marriages will definitely not be arranged for lower-class families."

"But if she really marries into a higher social class, our daughters are all girls who grew up in the village and don't have any manners. We don't want her in-laws to laugh at us."

"And our little girl, she can learn from her too, it can't hurt!"

Yun Huaikang raised an eyebrow, tapped his fingers lightly on the table twice, and felt that what was said was absolutely right.

He kept this matter firmly in mind.

After school that evening, Fan Sibo drove the oxcart back with Yun Ziyan and Yun Shengsheng.

The family was talking in the main room. The four older sisters were still chattering about reading. Yun Pianpian even brought the Three Character Classic to the dining table and started reading and reciting the first line. She forgot the words halfway through and got so anxious that she banged on the table.

When Yun Shengsheng entered the room and saw this scene, she wondered what had happened to her sisters.

Yun Xiaoxiao happily told her about their plans to learn to read, and Yun Pianpian immediately pulled Yun Shengsheng onto her lap so she could hear as well.

Gan Yuwan and Zhao brought the food over and placed it on the table.

Gan Yuwan said, "Yes, your father and I are planning to hire a female tutor for our daughters."

"It's not just about teaching literacy and reading; it's also about teaching women proper etiquette and manners."

If I could also teach her some music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, that would be wonderful. Gan Yuwan thought to herself.

Yun Shengsheng tilted her head, thinking, "Oh, my sisters are all going to study and learn to read! That's wonderful! That way, when our parents' business grows bigger, they can all do the accounting and management."

She won't be blind enough to be deceived; even if she gets married in the future, she will be able to make her own decisions!

Yun Shengsheng thought about it and immediately raised her hand to indicate her agreement.

"My sister is doing great learning to read!"

Her older sisters were overjoyed to see her support.

Yun Shuangshuang hesitated for a moment, then finally mustered her courage and said, "I want to study so I can become a female official!"

This surprised the family for a moment.

Gan Yuwan and Yun Huaikang, in particular, were quite surprised that their third daughter wanted to become a female official.

While happy, I also felt a little melancholy.

Those were female officials, how could ordinary people like them do such a job?

Today, they saw those future female officials. Leaving aside their appearance and figure, their manner of speaking alone was different from that of the children in their village.

However, Gan Yuwan and Yun Huaikang did not want to discourage their daughter, so they were at a loss for words.

Yun Shengsheng's eyes lit up immediately. [Third Sister actually wants to be a female official! That's a great ambition!]

I'd overheard Old Master Li and Steward Chen talking about the lady-in-waiting before; clearly, they're connected. If we talk to Old Master Li, maybe Third Sister can pull some strings?

Yun Shuangshuang's heart leaped with joy; her younger sister meant that she could become a female official.

Seeing that his little girl agreed, Yun Huaikang knew there was a chance. He stroked his chin, thinking that he must go and see Old Li tomorrow.

Talk to him properly. Even if you can't get in through connections, you can still find out the selection criteria for female officials.

When Yun Qiaoqiao heard her third sister boldly express her dream and receive support from her younger sister, she was eager to try it out herself.

"Ah! Father, Mother, Father, and me! I want to be a female knight-errant, upholding justice!"

Yun Shengsheng immediately frowned. "Father and Mother, you must stop Fourth Sister!"

Yun Qiaoqiao's face immediately fell. Why could her third sister be a female official, but she couldn't be a chivalrous heroine?

Yun Huaikang and Gan Yuwan also looked on with curiosity.

In the original book, my third sister wanted to be a chivalrous heroine, but in the end, she ended up associating with bandits, claiming they were all robbing the rich to help the poor and standing up for the common people. But that wasn't the case at all.

Those bandits, masquerading as chivalrous heroes, were actually amassed wealth through clandestine means, colluded with officials, and eliminated dissidents.

[My third sister was fooled by them, killed someone, and there's no going back.]

After killing too many people, my fourth sister became increasingly numb. She was eventually caught red-handed by government troops during a bandit raid, and then… well, she died a horrible death. So, no matter what, you must stop my fourth sister from going on her chivalrous adventures…

Yun Qiaoqiao felt like she was about to shatter at that moment.

Did I never expect her ending to be so tragic? But she really wanted to be a female knight-errant.

With all her strength and martial arts skills, it would be such a waste if she didn't become a female knight-errant.

Seeing her expression, everyone knew she was devastated. Gan Yuwan patted her shoulder calmly to comfort her.

Yun Shengsheng had no idea that everyone could hear her innermost thoughts.

She quickly shook her head, coaxing Yun Qiaoqiao, "Fourth Sister, don't be a female knight-errant, okay? Being a female knight-errant isn't fun, it's dangerous!"

As he spoke, he tugged at Yun Qiaoqiao's sleeve.

Yun Qiaoqiao forced a smile, and could only nod so as not to worry her younger sister.

Yun Huaikang coughed lightly, making the final decision, "Little Si, well, being a female knight-errant involves wielding swords and spears. But swords and spears have no eyes, and it wouldn't be good if you got hurt. How about this? We'll talk about it when you're a bit older. Anyway, you're only twelve now, so there's no rush."

Her older sisters comforted her, saying, "That's right, you're still young, don't rush. When you're older, you might have other things you want to do."

"Exactly!"

Madam Zhao said with a smile, "Oh, it's a pity our fourth child is a girl. If it were a boy, how wonderful it would be! With all his martial arts skills, he could be a general! Wouldn't he wipe out the enemy army completely?"
