In children's inherent thinking, only men can study, and studying is to gain fame in scientific examinations.

Chen Changsheng looked at the children and said sternly, "Everyone says it's useless for women to study, but I haven't seen any wealthy families that don't let their daughters study.

My mother has seen a lot of things in the city these days. In fact, the boudoir ladies of wealthy families have to learn to read, how to take care of property, manage the farm shop, the maids and servants, and also learn arithmetic and be able to read the account books. . "

The children were a little confused.

She continued to give examples, "Do you remember Shen Bohu, the eldest lady of the Shen family?"

"Remember, during the last Dragon Boat Festival, my mother rescued Miss Shen, and our whole family even had dinner at Shen's house."

Chen Sixi recalled that she ate a lot of delicious food at Shen's house that day. Miss Shen's clothes were also very luxurious and her temperament was outstanding. She looked like the eldest lady at first glance.

Chen Changsheng continued, "Master Shen has a daughter like Miss Shen, and he has carefully trained her. Miss Shen has to learn everything from accounting, business, and family management. If she doesn't learn, then the Shen family's huge family business will not be able to do so." Just fall into the hands of others. Do you think Mr. Shen will agree? "

Chen Dafu nodded and affirmatively agreed, "Master Shen's family probably has tens of thousands of taels of silver. If I were Master Shen, I wouldn't want my money to fall into the hands of others."

"That is to say, it is useless for a woman to study, just to deceive country people like us. How can we country people make money without reading and literacy? Aren't we just worse than each generation? Daughters of rich families are all poor. A man who is well-read in poetry and books is no worse than a man."

Chen Changsheng's words overturned the concept in children's minds that only men can study.

She put the brush back into Si Xi's hand, looked into Xiao Laosi's eyes, and said word for word, "If a girl knows more words, she will have more opinions, instead of living in a hazy state, having her marriage dictated by her parents and elders. , all his life revolves around men and children on the stove.

Chen Sixi's eyes were bright, and she promised as if she had made up her mind, "I will study hard, for myself and for my mother's good intentions."

After noon, the sun is at its strongest.

Chen Changsheng asked the workers in the kiln factory to rest for an hour and go home to eat and rest. Only when they feel better can they produce safely.

Most people in the village are resting at home right now.

The children also took advantage of their free time to read more books and practice calligraphy.

Chen Changsheng looked at the dog-like fonts on the papyrus paper and couldn't help but shake his head. I am also a dog crawler, so I cannot teach children calligraphy. I still have to find a professional master to learn from them.

Chen Dafu's leg treatment went smoothly.

Nowadays, acupuncture is no longer needed, only daily massage by Dr. Liu is enough.

Chen Changsheng was busy with the brick kiln factory and had not been to the city for a few days. This time he went to the city with the boss and the second son, with the purpose of selling her mosquito coils.

She asked Dafu to bring twenty coils of mosquito-repellent incense to the Shen family as a nuisance to the Shen family these days.

Although Dr. Liu said he would not charge her for consultation, he was told not to, so he could not be too ignorant.

Chen Changsheng and Erlu walked around the street and finally entered a shop.

The mother and son walked in and wandered around the store for a while. They found that the store mainly sold functional sachets, including insect repellent, aromatherapy and deodorizing ones, and therapeutic ones.

She had never seen how the sachets of this era were made. She just found it novel. She picked it up and smelled it carefully, then put it down, and then looked at the insect repellent and deodorizing sachets.

After looking at a few things, Chen Changsheng was about to pick out a few sachets to take back to Sixi and Liu's Cui family when he was interrupted by someone making a sound.

"Those two, if you don't have money, don't touch it randomly. I'll make you pay if you touch something. But judging from their appearance, they don't look like rich people." The shopkeeper sitting behind the counter didn't even raise his eyelids. He said lazily.

As soon as each customer enters the store, the shopkeeper will look at the customer immediately.

The mother and son in front of them were dressed in plain linen robes. They didn't have any decent jewelry on their bodies. At a glance, they knew they were mud-legged people from the countryside. Such people can never afford to buy things from the store.

Chen Changsheng was a little stunned and said with a smile, "Shopkeeper, isn't it just about choosing when buying things? If I don't choose, how do I know if your stuff is good? Is it suitable for me?"

The shopkeeper glanced at it and sneered, "I have all the good stuff here. Which lady in the city doesn't come to my house to buy it? But the stuff I have here is really not suitable for you. After all, country people like you are used to it." I can’t afford these good things.”

"Who are you talking about with muddy legs from the countryside?" Chen Erlu was a little excited.

"Just that mosquito repellent coil bag in your hand, two taels of silver, right?" Chen Changsheng didn't allow Chen Changsheng to speak. The shopkeeper sneered and continued, "I know you can't afford it. If you can't afford it, just put it back. If it gets dirty, How can I sell it?"

He winked at the boy beside him and said, "Xiao Zhuzhu, you need to be discerning. Don't let people like this in poor clothes come in from now on. If they damage and touch the things in our shop, I will Just deduct it from your salary..."

The boy named Xiao Zhuzi immediately came over and drove Chen Changsheng and the two out, "Let's go, get out quickly, don't delay our business."

"It's only two taels of silver. I thought it was very expensive."

Chen Changsheng curled his lips, took out a twenty-tael silver ingot from the space of the bracelet, looked at his son and said, "Erlu, is there anything you like in this shop? If so, mother will buy it. Anyway, we have plenty of money.”

Chen Erlu cooperated very well and said with a nervous look on his face, "Mom, twenty taels will only buy ten sachets. I'm afraid I won't even get a share of the chicken coop at home."

Chen Changsheng took out another one hundred tael silver note and waved it, "With this bank note, it will be enough for now."

The shopkeeper and the boy's eyes widened when they saw this ordinary mother and son taking out one hundred and twenty taels of silver.

The shopkeeper immediately came out from behind the counter and walked towards Chen Changsheng and his son with a smile on his face, "Oh, the young one is so blind that he mistook the madam and the young master for those poor country folk. I don't know what you are doing." Whose wife is she from? She looks a little unfamiliar."

He turned around and scolded the young man who was standing there stupidly, "Xiao Zhuzhu, why don't you have any eyesight? What are you doing there? Why don't you go back and make two cups of tea? Come out and let the madam and the young master sit down and take your time." Pick slowly.”

The boy said "Hey" and ran back quickly.

The shopkeeper looked at the banknote in Chen Changsheng's hand with a smile on his face. The more he looked at it, the happier he became, and the folds on his face were filled with smiles.

One hundred and twenty taels can buy everything in his shop.

Although there are usually many people in the shop, the goods he sells are not as good as those in Jiangzhou Prefecture. Most of the ladies and ladies from wealthy families in the county still go to Jiangzhou Prefecture to buy.

There are also people who come to his shop to buy things, but they are not rich or noble people. Most of the customers just pick one or two sachets and go back.

There are really not many people who can ask for ten sachets like Chen Changsheng and let the young master choose at will.

The shopkeeper thought to himself: [I am here to get rich. 】
