After marrying sick Yangzi, I made my whole family rich

Xu Mengxiao and the others had just finished eating the watermelon and were wiping their hands and mouths with satisfaction when Zhuangzi came in and told them what had just happened.

Xu Mengxiao was in a good mood. It was rare to reunite with her family. Zihan also took several days off and could relax. She didn't want this little thing to affect her mood.

Although she would feel a little uncomfortable hiding her melons later, why was she so secretive about her own things?

But having said that, what can be done is to try to appease this guest first. Xu Mengxiao had already decided to keep a low profile.

"Okay, don't worry, go ahead and do your work. Don't pay too much attention to this person. We are not afraid of those who are deliberately looking for trouble!"

"Yes!" Zhuangzi immediately withdrew with satisfaction. He still had to take action from the Sandong family. As soon as the Sandong family spoke, he felt at ease, as if he was not afraid of anything.

Recently, Xu Mengxiao, whose reputation for winning the Royal Chef Competition has faded away, became famous again because he accepted Master Xu from Baichuan Academy and the former Minister of Industry as his disciples.

In addition, Xu Mengxiao's eldest sister was also so powerful. She actually had excellent embroidery skills. Her skills were so good that they were stolen in exchange for benefits and rights. People in Luo City called them two sisters.

Because of this, today's Xu family is becoming more and more unprovoked, and even the waiters in Taoyuan Township are becoming more and more convinced of her.

If a person only knows how to do business, they do it out of surrender to her business methods and superior-subordinate relationship, but if a person still has knowledge, they will be surprised and admired from the bottom of their hearts.

Especially this is a woman!

I would like to ask, how many women can get into Baichuan Academy because of their knowledge? You can even become a Confucius teacher directly!

No matter what, Xu Mengxiao's identity shocked Fu Tongpan and even the prefect Duan.

If Xu Mengxiao hadn't been busy opening a shop for her eldest sister at that time, she would have had the shamelessness to have dinner with Magistrate Duan!

However, after that incident, Master Xu did not formally complete the apprenticeship ceremony with her, and Xu Mengxiao did not tell him what he, the master, could teach him in the future. This matter would have to be discussed later.

At this moment, Xu Mengxiao finally persuaded them to pick up a crayfish each and taught them how to peel the shrimp.

Xu Lingyan is a handy person, and she can do it at a glance. There are almost no crafts that her eldest sister can't do.

Xu Mengxiao was very envious because apart from her cooking skills, she was mediocre in other aspects.

Mr. Wang was also used to doing manual work and could master it after practicing twice. However, Xu Zihan's hands and feet were a little clumsy, which made Xu Mengxiao feel very sad.

"Your hands-on ability also needs to be improved. You can't really become a nerd after studying and be unable to take care of yourself!"

From not being able to peel shrimps to being unable to take care of himself, it was obviously not much related, but the Wang family were shocked when they heard it.

"So, mother, when I asked you to study with him in Fucheng before, you were worried that he would be here alone and unfamiliar with the place. Plus, at that time, my son Han made a bet with Xu Shengjie that he would pass him in this year's county and prefecture examinations. , so he doesn’t have time to do things by himself. Now that he has time, he won’t take the college entrance examination until next year, so he doesn’t have to take care of him everywhere. Besides, there are Aunt Weng and the others at home.”

Xu Mengxiao didn't want to see them coddling Zihan every time, to the point where she became cautious.

Xu Zihan had mentioned this to them a long time ago. However, the eldest sister and mother regarded him as a treasure. Now, knowing the second sister's intention, he did not feel disgusted at all, but was in favor of it.

Before Xu Zihan was ten years old, he was a poor, miserable kid with nothing he didn't know or couldn't do. It makes no sense that he started to forget his roots after studying for more than half a year.

"Yes, mother, eldest sister, the masters of our academy all let us do things on our own. Those who originally had book children did not give them to them. They said that if you can't understand the suffering yourself, how can you feel the suffering of the people? These things It’s also one we need to learn, and there are many other ways. The autumn harvest will happen in a while, and I heard that the masters will take us to experience harvesting crops.”

Ms. Wang opened her mouth in astonishment, thinking that they used to be busy from morning to night, how could this be a good experience?

Then he thought that people with a background like Zihan were in the minority. Most people were like Bao Yun and Geng Xinghong. Not to mention how rich they were, at least they didn't have to worry about food and drink.

How much can they experience the suffering of the people? The articles written are even very empty and gorgeous, with no actual content.

Hearing this, Xu Lingyan silently took back the small plate of shrimps she had peeled.

She didn't eat any of them herself. Seeing that Zihan couldn't peel them very well, she peeled them all for him out of distress. As a result, they couldn't take care of themselves and had to experience labor, so much so that Xu Lingyan couldn't even learn how to do it.

"Sister, give it a try and see if you can accept it?" Xu Mengxiao teased her, and then said, "Baichuan Academy deserves to be Baichuan Academy, and it should be able to cultivate so many talents. This education model is really very good!"

The ancient imperial examination, especially the eight-part essay imperial examination, was the greatest examination-oriented education, even better than the college entrance examination in later generations. However, in such a feudal and backward era, an advanced existence like Baichuan Academy appeared.

By the way, they have such a magical Baichuan Academy in Luo City, why didn't they tell it? I'm afraid many people feel that Luocheng is not worthy of Baichuan Academy, so they separated it out and made Baichuan Academy its own entity, so that it would not be held back by Luocheng, a backward and remote city.

"what?"

Just as she was feeling emotional, Xu Lingyan let out an exclamation, her gentle and charming eyes shining brightly.

"Mom, Zihan, stop talking, it's really good, the meat is very tender and fresh, it's different from other meats!"

After all, it was only two taels of silver per plate. It was a pity to waste it, so Mr. Wang tasted it. What didn't they eat when they couldn't eat?

They had almost eaten all the other edible bugs to fill their stomachs, but why were they so squeamish now?

Xu Zihan had the same idea, and after tasting the first one, the second one, and the third one just went with the flow.

Xu Mengxiao only ordered a plate of shrimps. A plate of shrimps was a patchwork of various flavors. There were almost a dozen of each flavor, a few per person, several flavors, and eating more than a dozen was not too much. Satisfied after eating.

"It's really good. Now I understand why it sells so well!" Xu Zihan washed his hands, feeling a little unfinished.

The happiest thing today is that I learned that the eldest sister also opened a shop and had her own business, and that they were finally able to restrain their excessive care and indulgence and give him enough freedom.

It's not like if he wanted to do any random job, he would immediately take his job away and let him study or rest.

In fact, this may not be the case in Baichuan Academy. The master in the academy often orders him around. Many students do not have the temperament of a scholar at all, but they are more flexible and smarter than students in other academies!

After finishing the meal, Xu Mengxiao came up with an idea, "Zihan, can you discuss with the master and mountain chief of your academy? If they want to bring a group of students to harvest crops, can you come to Yao Zhuangzi of Yu Village and Yangnan Village."

"Hey, let's go to Yaoyu Village, which is Zihan's hometown. The simplest farmers there live a very difficult life, but what are we going to do in Yangnan Village?" Wang asked confused.
