Chapter 190 Golden Flower makes a fuss
“What's going on?” Qin Yao asked doubtfully.
The appearance of the five mother and son slightly relaxed the solemn atmosphere in the courtyard.
When Mrs. Qiu saw Qin Yao, she glanced angrily at the stubborn girl standing in the yard and called Qin Yao to come and help persuade her.
He hurriedly came over, pulled Qin Yao and walked in front of Jinhua, who was standing like a wooden stake.
"Jinhua values her third aunt the most. This girl suddenly became stubborn today. Please come and tell her third aunt. Let's see which girl doesn't stay at home and learn female beauty."
When Jinhua heard this, she glanced sideways at her eldest uncle, clenching her fists as if she was fighting against something with all her strength, and her tears couldn't stop falling.
Before Qin Yao, the two-foot-long monk, could not figure it out, he asked.
"What's the use of just being able to read? What's more, you're a girl, why do you need to know how to read? It's serious to learn to be a nühong and find a husband to marry in the future."
Seeing that the explanation was useless, Liu Zhong looked back and said not to be outdone, "Speaking of private houses, brother and sister-in-law, you two earn wages together, I'm afraid you already have four or five taels!"
“I'm going to take the exam, and I'm going to school, and I'm going, I just want to go!”
Qin Yao happily looked at her outstanding daughter and shrugged helplessly at everyone in the old house, "Look, all four mothers know such a simple truth."
Going round and round, everything returned to the original point. Jinhua refused to listen to anything she said, which made Mrs. Qiu very angry. Seeing her tears about to fall, Qin Yao was finally able to say a word.
Those who have never read the book cannot express the saying "Don't worry about scarcity but not inequality."
"It's different!" Jinhua sobbed, but spoke very clearly, "You said so much, but you just don't want me to take the exam. You also said that I will definitely fail the exam, even if I try, who knows if I haven't tried."
He and Liu Bai looked at the second couple with surprise, "Is this what you two said, 'You don't have any private money, so you have to ask your parents if you want to buy some needlework'?"
Jin Huali was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to choke back.
“Liu Jinhua, don't be ridiculous. Where can we afford to go to school?”
This last sentence is the key point.
Old man Liu and others looked at Siniang in surprise, not expecting her to be able to say such a great truth.
Don't bully her for being young. Just outside the ancestral hall, the village chief said that the court would help pay for the tuition for free, so there is no need to pay tuition.
Mrs. Qiu said angrily: "You are so powerful, let's see who dares to want you in the future!"
With such a good head, it would be a pity not to send him to school. Qin Yao felt that she could say something, but this time she still didn't wait for the chance to speak.
“I don't want a red dress, I want the same thing as my brother!”
Qiu was annoyed, "Why didn't you listen to the other things that cost money? You don't have to take a ride when you want to go to town? You don't have to pay for pens, ink, paper and inkstones?"
"Ouch~" Mr. He couldn't help but laugh at the little girl's innocence, "Jinhua, you are a girl, what can you do if you study? Girls are not allowed in other schools. What are you going to do? Why don't you learn to work as a female worker from your mother at home?”
Jinhua was almost shaken, but she still instinctively felt that reading must be a better and more precious thing than a red dress. She wiped her tears with her little hand, turned her head and hummed:
Jinhua was about to despair when she suddenly saw someone standing on her side. She pursed her lips in grievance and sobbed: "Third Aunt, pen, ink, paper and inkstone don't cost a lot of money, right?"
“Whether you want love or not, I just want to go to school!”
Qin Yao raised her eyes and looked at Liu Zhong and Qiu's anxious expressions that wanted to cover up but had nothing to say, and almost laughed out loud.
Jinhua realized what she had done. She covered her mouth in surprise and hid behind Qin Yao, mother and son, fearing that her parents would beat her if they took off their shoes.
“The village chief said there is no tuition fee!” Jinhua retorted.
Jinhua cried and retorted: "Then if I study and become successful, I can support my brother."
Actually, what does the little girl know? She just simply thinks it's unfair!
Mr. He didn't dare to get involved at this time. She hurriedly returned to the main room, hugged her son Jinbao, looked at him proudly, and said:
"Your brother is a boy, so how can he be like you? Your brother has studied and become a leader, which is not good for you. If you get married in the future, your brother can still support you."
The little girl was in a hurry and accidentally ruined her family's fortune.
He said jokingly: "Whenever there was something nice to eat and good clothes to wear, my family didn't keep an eye on you and Jin Bao first? Your brother went to school and you wore a red dress. Isn't that the same thing?"
Mrs. Zhang rubbed her forehead and said, "Stop making noises. It makes me have a headache. Isn't it just for going to school? You can go if you want. Everyone pays for it!"
Mrs. Qiu may have never seen her daughter so stubborn and stubborn. When coaxing didn't work, she became really angry. She felt cruel and said solemnly:
"Why don't you know how to listen to advice? My mother asked you, what's the use of going to school? Can you recognize a few words and learn a few sentences in two years? Even if you are good at reading, you can't take the imperial examination. !”
Golden Flower was first used not loudly, but with a clear voice saying:
Si Niang stood next to A Niang and whispered: "Don't worry about being widowed but worrying about inequality. If you want to go, everyone will go, and if you don't want to go, none of them will go. Only when the children are in harmony will there be no gaps. Only when the children of the family help each other can the family become more and more prosperous."
“Then why can I go? Doesn't it cost me nothing to go?” Jinhua pointed at Liu Jinbao and asked.
Mrs. Qiu didn't expect that she still hadn't given up the idea after being persuaded by the whole family for so long. She was always a gentle person, but it was rare for her to have an angry look on her face, and she reprimanded:
"I think Jin Hua is right." As soon as she said this, everyone in the old house trembled.
Qin Yao, a melon-eater, raised her eyebrows. The little girl is quite smart.
Mrs. Qiu came forward with her son in her arms and coaxed again: "Stop making trouble, can you go inside and play with your brother? Don't you want a red skirt? Your grandmother has also promised to buy you materials. Let's Just make a red dress, okay?”
Seeing that Mrs. Qiu was about to say that she had no money, Jinhua was the first to say: "Auntie, don't say that your family has no money to support me. Last year, the third aunt paid you so much wages. I know it, and no one can lie to me!" "
Jinhua was shocked for a moment by her mother's deep tone, and asked a little confused: "Why should I take the imperial examination? Can't I just recognize a few more words?"
“My father gave my mother two taels of silver. Can two taels of silver buy a lot of pens, inks, paper, and inkstones?”
I ask you to persuade, not to cause trouble.
Originally, Jinbao's tuition and miscellaneous expenses had to be paid for by his father's school, and the family's money was tight. She and Old Man Liu only planned to contribute one share to send Jinbao, the boy.
Qiu has a saying that his two elders agree with very much, that is, only boys can take the imperial examination, so only if he goes to school can he bring real benefits to the family.
