Dressed as an old woman, I carry the system and my son to escape the famine

Yao Shu was undoubtedly extremely happy that Shen Fugui could take the initiative to make progress. No matter what the reason was, the other party finally showed interest in studying for the imperial examination.

She had been looking forward to it. Fortunately, she had thought about a lot of rhetoric and tried to persuade Shen Fugui countless times. However, she was still unable to convince him. She just watched Shen Fugui waste his talent and time, not to mention how many times she had tried to persuade him. It feels bad.

Now she finally got her wish, and she was in a good mood for several days.

However, she was also worried that Shen Fugui was attracted by a temporary interest, which lasted only three minutes, and feared that the other party would be rebellious, so she waited for a few days before talking to Shen Fugui.

At nine o'clock, the sky outside was already very bright, but there was no movement in the Shen family's yard. Their family always got up later than others, let alone this winter, and there were no elders to restrain them, so they naturally hid under the quilt. Cat winter.

"Old lady, where are you going when you get up so early?"

Shen Nanshan opened his hazy eyes and looked at Yao Shu doubtfully, wondering how the other person could wake up so early.

He glanced out the window. It was a little too early at this time. Even if he was going into the city, there was no need to wake up so early.

Besides, he didn't hear that he had anything to do recently.

"Nothing, just go out and take a look, you can sleep on your own."

Yao Shu said perfunctorily.

She stopped Shen Nanshan's plan to follow her. She had to do something later and it was not easy for him to go with her. There were too many people, and she was afraid that Shen Fugui would feel uncomfortable.

The reason why she got up so early was just to make sure that Shen Fugui was determined to study. If the other party had this idea, she, the mother-in-law, would not be able to make proper arrangements for studying.

Literacy can be studied at home, but reading cannot be done behind closed doors.

Yao Shu walked to the door of the room, but did not immediately open the door and walk out. Instead, she walked around two steps to the window and looked out through the gap in the window.

I saw Shen Fugui studying in the courtyard. Looking at his serious attitude, he was really determined to take the imperial examination.

"Squeak."

Yao Shu pushed the door open and walked out. As soon as the door opened, she felt a blast of cold wind blowing against her face. She instantly woke up a lot. It was really too cold outside.

The cool wind instantly made her forget what she was going to say. She walked up to Shen Fugui and spoke first.

"Why are you standing in the wind and not going to the room to warm yourself by the fire?"

When she asked this, Shen Fugui scratched his head in embarrassment.

"It's easy to feel sleepy in the early morning, and it's easy to fall asleep when the fire is on. This way you can wake up a little bit."

Not to mention, studying is really a painful thing. It was not without reason that he was unwilling to study before. It was too painful and tiring.

"Then the wind can't blow here. The weather is like this. Don't read a few pages of the book and catch a cold. Go back to the room first."

For this reason, Yao Shu certainly would not let Shen Fugui stand outside stupidly anymore. Reading should also pay attention to the balance between work and rest.

No matter how much she hopes that someone from the Shen family will be able to gain fame and become an official, she will not force her children to make progress like this. Health is the most important thing. If this breaks her body, even if she is the number one scholar in high school, she will The gain outweighs the loss.

"Don't do such stupid things next time. If you really want to refresh yourself, you can make yourself a cup of strong tea, or go to the medical clinic to buy some refreshing medicinal oil another day."

"understood."

Shen Fugui lowered his head in embarrassment. He was also stupid. After hearing so many stories about Han Chuang studying hard, he actually felt that there was no problem at all in doing so.

Seeing him like this, Yao Shu couldn't help but smile. After all, he was still a young man.

"Now that you're ready to study, what are your future plans?"

"I won't go to school. Brother Wang has promised me that if I have any questions I don't understand, I can ask him."

Shen Fugui did not want to go to a private school, and preferred to study with Wang Chengzhi.

"Your brother Wang's knowledge is naturally good, but he also has to prepare for the imperial examination, so it's not good to disturb him all the time."

Yao Shu shook her head. She knew that Wang Chengzhi had good intentions, but there was some element of repayment. Otherwise, as an aspiring scholar, how could he be distracted before the imperial examination?

Since the other party agreed to teach Shen Fugui, he would definitely use twelve of his powers, but it would not affect him.

Although Wang Chengzhi was the best choice for Shen Fugui based on his talent and knowledge, it was even rarer that he could teach students according to their aptitude so that Shen Fugui could learn from him.

But Yao Shu couldn't repay her kindness, so she gave Shen Fugui another choice.

"I'll send you to a private school in the city."

It is also true that Zhangzhou City is so remote that there is not even a serious academy. After all, it is a border place of exile. There are too few people who can study, and even fewer talented and learned masters.

A truly knowledgeable scholar would try his best to leave this place.

After hearing Yao Shu's arrangement, Shen Fugui fell silent. Looking at his silent expression, it was obvious that the boss was not happy.

"Mom, I don't go to private school."

"why?"

This made Yao Shu confused. Since she was determined to study, she was not even willing to go to a private school. What was the reason? It really made her feel strange.

Facing her inquiry, Shen Fugui pursed his lips and could not tell the reason. The reason was actually simple.

These days, if a family really wants to study, they should send their children to a private school for enlightenment when they are seven or eight years old. This is already too late. For wealthy families, they should start enlightenment at the age of three or four.

And Shen Fugui is already fourteen years old this year. If he were in another family, he would be able to marry a wife and have children.

He really couldn't bear to be asked to study with a bunch of brats, and he was also afraid of being laughed at by his classmates in private school.

Young people's self-esteem is always stronger, and Shen Fugui's heart is unavoidable.

Yao Shu couldn't guess what he was thinking. She had never thought about it at all. Seeing that Shen Fugui kept hesitating and not daring to speak, she urged helplessly.

"You can tell me whatever you have in mind, and I'll see if I can solve it. Our family's situation isn't that bad. We can't even afford to read."

Yao Shu is quite confident in her family. Even though they are just ordinary farmers, she still has a lot of trump cards in her hand.

In addition to the business they did during this period, their family also saved a lot of money, but they kept a low profile and did not publicize it. Even the Shen family did not know the specific figures. Only the head of the family, Yao Shu, knew.

The mother and son were in a stalemate, and it took a while before Shen Fugui expressed his concerns.
