The fierce peasant woman is busy farming

Song Yuan saw Zhou Yue listening attentively, as if thinking about something.

Continued:

"Our dynasty's founder was a military commander, back then...

I think you know what happened back then, so I won’t say much.”

Zhou Yue: You can tell me more about it, I don’t know the details.

A minister should not discuss the king, and Song Yuan really didn't want to say anything more.

Zhou Yue glanced at Song Yuan, smiled, and gave him a look that told him to continue.

"Therefore, Emperor Taizu of this dynasty established many rules, saying that 'the emperor and the literati and officials shall rule the world together'.

And many regulations and restrictions were made on the privileges of the emperor and the royal family.

But the treatment of scholars was indeed very preferential.

Not only did he propose "no punishment for scholars and officials", but he also provided them with generous salaries.

As for me, I am not talented. Although I am from a noble family, I am a proper Jinshi. "

Although Zhou Yue had heard of the ancient Jinshi scholars, his understanding of them was not very deep.

Looking at Song Yuan’s expression now, he must be a very powerful person.

Come to think of it, the national exam is only held once every three years, and only a few hundred people are selected.

At most, there are only a few thousand people.

It is much more difficult than the college entrance examination in later generations where thousands of people compete for a single spot.

In addition, Song Yuan came from a noble family. His father and elder brothers were both military generals, and there had not been a scholar in his family for many years.

If a scholar passed the imperial examination and became a Jinshi, his ancestral graves would probably be filled with smoke.

Seeing that Song Xiucai, a mere scholar, dared to abandon his wife and children, you can understand how precious scholars were in this dynasty.

Zhou Yue's innate politeness made her immediately agree with the other party involuntarily.

Song Yuan felt a little proud.

“Although you are born into a noble family, your family has fallen into poverty.

Although he was a scholar, his job was to catch thieves and bandits.

Besides, my Qingmo is not bad either. She can read and write and is good at business.

Another advantage of her is that she is good at solving problems.

Zhou Yue’s competitive spirit was aroused as he knew he couldn’t show weakness to his own child. He immediately poured cold water on Lord Song.

Then praise your own children.

"Doing exercises? What is doing exercises?"

Song Yuan was confused. Aunt Zhou looked at her own child and found him to be good in every way. The girl was literate and good at business, which were indeed advantages.

But what is this question?

"Uh, do the math problems..."

Oh, I accidentally used a word from later generations.

"It's a word problem. It's like the kind where cabbage costs five cents a pound and radish costs three cents a pound. If you have one tael of money, how many pounds of cabbage and radish can you buy? This kind of problem is a word problem."

Song Yuan was counting the cabbages and radishes in his mind, but after a long time he still couldn't figure it out.

I don’t know why, some people like to eat delicious food, some like to drink, some like mountains, some like water, and some people even like to do homework.

It seems that I was indeed presumptuous.

I don't understand Qingmo at all. Are all the things she likes so special?

"Ahem, auntie, I was indeed being presumptuous.

I'd like to apologize here first.

I really don't know much about Qingmo.

However, I think we can give each other some time, and in time, I think we can get to know each other.

Maybe it will be suitable. "

Song Yuan has never been so proactive in his life.

His original fiancée was arranged for him by his family.

Most of the young people in Beijing are like this.

The two families were old friends. They watched each other's children grow up and decided that the couple was a good match, so they arranged the marriage.

He and she knew each other and had fantasies in their hearts.

Gradually, amid everyone's jokes, he and she both felt that there was affection between them.

Then they each work hard and wait until they reach the age to get married.

However, all the dreams were torn apart that year.

She disappeared and was kidnapped.

His world became dark.

Later she was found and cleared of all charges.

Then, before he could react, she died.

The happiness that was within their reach is gone.

He wants revenge for her.

Originally, he passed the imperial examination and had his wedding night, two major happy events in life that were going to happen at the same time.

As a result, he lost her. Forever.

He asked to go to the Dali Temple and arrested human traffickers like crazy.

Everyone praised his deep affection.

However, no matter how many human traffickers he caught and killed, the one he loved would never come back.

Their engagement will never come true.

I don’t know what feeling he was in, he felt numb.

He only knows how to work hard to catch people and solve major cases.

Because of this, he was promoted quickly, his superiors appreciated him, and even the saints praised him.

He is a rare one among the children of nobles.

It would have been fine if he had just studied literature, but he had to give up his bright future as a Jinshi and go to the Dali Temple, which was feared by everyone.

He did not slack off at the Dali Temple, but really worked hard to solve cases, especially major human trafficking cases.

By the way, other cases were also solved.

After so many years, he had almost forgotten her.

That delicate and thin figure no longer appears even in my dreams.

He lived like a monk.

His colleagues all praised him for his chastity and noble character.

In fact, he is lazy. He is too lazy to go on a blind date or to get to know a woman.

He is actually afraid of trouble.

He was unwilling to make changes.

However, his subordinates Xie Ping and Xie An have been nagging in his ears recently.

Talk about the eldest daughter of the Ning family, how beautiful, smart, and good she is.

He actually didn't even look at the girl carefully.

After listening to them talk so much, he later deliberately looked at the girl several times.

It’s really good and looks good.

But it is hard to tell whether he is smart or not.

Just because he looked at Qing Mo once or twice more, Xie Ping and Xie An always teased him.

Things like old trees blooming and old houses on fire.

He was so angry that he wanted to hit someone.

How did he grow old, how did he bloom?

That's not the case at all.

He happened to rescue Aunt Zhou and Miss Ning and acted as a flower protector. He was so excited that he came up with a plan.

Suppose he is discussing marriage with Miss Ning, and if the girl agrees, he will tell his family about it after returning to Beijing.

Get the mother ready.

My mother should like this woman.

She is of similar age, smart, pretty, good at business, and can... do homework.

But Aunt Zhou actually disagreed?

Well, she was right, we still knew too little about each other, and we had only met a few times.

Well, at least I didn’t refuse it outright and I didn’t say it was completely impossible.

That's good, let's see how he performs.

He also took this opportunity to get to know the woman better.

"Cough cough cough..."

Seeing that he didn't continue talking, Zhou Yue was curious about what he was thinking and reminded him.

"Oh, well, that, Aunt Zhou, let's not talk about this first.

I'm going to join the army, I think, later...

We have fewer opportunities to see each other and get to know each other better.

I was wondering if we could communicate with each other?"

"Communication?"

That's a good idea.

Qingmo doesn't know many words. She is obsessed with doing word problems and has little interest in learning words.

But how can a person be illiterate and only like science? If you are illiterate, you can't even understand the questions.

The best motivation for learning is to apply it in life.

Writing letters is good, and it’s nice to have a pen pal.

"But, we are in the village, where are you going? How are we going to communicate?"

“In this way, I will leave a message for Zheng’s Pharmacy in the county, and you can hand the letter to the store.

They will find a way to send the letter to my home in the capital.

My family will deliver the letter to me via the official post.

This will take a lot longer. "

"What letter?"

A voice sounded.
