After dressing up as a stepmother, I transformed the whole family into working in the fields

As for Jinhua, no girls had ever gone to school before, and the whole family thought there was nothing wrong with this arrangement.

Ms. Qiu also asked for a red dress for her daughter, which she thought was fair.

But now Mrs. Zhang has changed her mind. We all have money, right? Then there is no need to make trouble. Her children are responsible for themselves.

Mrs. Zhang covered her head and asked her son Liu Fei to help her into the house to lie down. In fact, she was hiding.

Seeing his two sons looking over, Old Man Liu nodded at them and warned them to be more sensible. With so much private money, how dare you ask me for it?

"I'm going to go to the fields." Old man Liu picked up the hoe and was about to go out.

When passing by Qin Yao, he lowered his head and looked at Siniang and Sanlang, "Are you going to send these two little ones too?"

Qin Yao nodded, "With such a good government decree, of course I should go. Compared with the opportunity, the cost of pen, ink, paper and inkstone is nothing."

Then he looked at Ms. Qiu, "Second sister-in-law, you just said that girls can't take the imperial examinations, so studying is useless, but I want to say that studying is really useful."

After that, he pushed his little fourth lady forward proudly, "Look at my fourth lady, how smart and cute she is."

"It's two years now, but who can say for sure what will happen in the future. Since the higher authorities allow both boys and girls to enter the school, it is not impossible for girls to take the imperial examination."

"Of course, after these two years have passed, no one knows whether there will be such a free decree in the next two years. If there is no such free decree in the future, if you don't go this time, wouldn't you miss it?"

Hearing what Qin Yao said, Mrs. Qiu felt sorry for her daughter's troubles. Now seeing Siniang, who is younger than Jinhua but can speak great truths, she can't help but feel a little shaken.

Qin Yao continued to calculate: "Is it because I couldn't go to school in the past because I couldn't afford the tuition?"

Liu Zhong shook his head. It was not entirely because he had no money that he couldn't go to school. Zhang had complained about Liu Li's childhood. In addition to tuition fees, there were other transportation fees and book fees. Young people also needed to be accompanied by adults.

It is precisely because of all this that it is daunting.

Qin Yao said: "Everyone knows that tuition is not difficult to pay. Every family is gritting their teeth and still can afford to send a child to school. The real difficulty is the monopoly of knowledge."

"Of course you may not understand what I'm telling you now, so let's think about it in a different way, why are those who have studied and had education not willing to come out to recruit students?"

"You all know how much effort I put into sending the two brothers, Da Lang and Erlang, to study in the Ding family. The reason why it took so much trouble is because the plate is only so big. Originally it was only something owned by a few families. Once it becomes shared, it will be It will seriously threaten your own interests."

Siniang immediately added: "Aniang is saying that the disciples of the church will starve the master to death."

Everyone in the Liu family suddenly realized that it was much simpler and easier to understand!

Qin Yao solemnly reminded again, "This opportunity may only be this once."

After saying that, he pulled out Jinhua who was hiding behind him and asked her to talk to her parents. Then she turned around and led the four siblings home.

Anyway, she has said everything she can. If everyone in the old house does not have this awareness, there is nothing they can do.

She has two more at home, so she needs to be well prepared.

Dalang and Erlang took it upon themselves to make dinner. Qin Yao took out the handwritten books that the four brothers and sisters usually used and previewed them with Sanlang and Siniang.

Although I don’t know what the assessment will be, since it is about reading, it is most likely related to ‘writing, reading and painting’.

Sanlang and Siniang knew that this was a rare opportunity, especially Siniang, who was still reciting the self-introduction that Qin Yao had compiled for her before going to bed.

Sanlang was timid, but he was big-hearted. To put it bluntly, he was a little short-sighted. Now he fell asleep and fell asleep. There was nothing to worry about.

Because he knew that even if he failed to pass the test this time, he would still have other opportunities.

Siniang is different. She knows that she may only have this chance. What if the government decree changes again next year?

Qin Yao really heard the immature girl's voice in the children's room next door, which didn't quiet down until late at night.

Early the next morning, Qin Yao got up as soon as the rooster crowed.

The early bird catches the worm, and for such a big event, you can’t go wrong by going early.

After eating something to fill her stomach in the morning, Qin Yao tied up the carriage and led the four brothers and sisters to set off for Jinshi Town.

Halfway down the road, my dear, there is a fire dragon in front of you.

The villagers of Liujiacun who were clamoring to forget it yesterday, none of them were left behind. They grabbed the boys at home in the middle of the night and went out with torches.

Qin Yao thought to herself, no wonder the village was so quiet when they just left the village. It's such a shame that everyone set off early!

The brothers Liu Zhong and Liu Bai, who set out almost at the same time as the villagers, were shocked when they saw so many torches at the entrance of the village.

He said he didn't even want to go, but ended up running faster than anyone else behind his back!

They walked for an hour when the sound of rolling wheels came from far behind them. The two brothers looked at each other and looked back. Sure enough, it was the familiar carriage from the third brother and sister's home.

As soon as Liu Zhong patted his daughter on the shoulder, Jin Hua immediately shouted loudly: "Third Aunt!"

Very good, successfully got on the carriage.

However, there was only enough room for six children in the carriage. Qin Yao squeezed in, held Si Niang on her knees, and sat in her seat while brothers Liu Bai and Liu Zhong drove the carriage.

"Is that okay?" Qin Yao didn't trust the two brothers' skills. This was Lao Huang, not Lao Qing, and he had a temper.

Liu Bai took the riding whip confidently, "No problem, brother and sister, don't worry."

Liu Zhong also said happily: "Fortunately you drove here, otherwise we wouldn't be able to get ahead."

Qin Yao opened the car window and glanced at the longer and longer queue behind her. Her brows furrowed and tightened, "There are too many people here."

You never see so many people when you go to the market.

"That's right." Liu Bai complained, "We set off early enough this morning. Unexpectedly, after passing Xiahe Village, we found that someone was heading to town after dinner last night."

Liu Zhong felt nervous and urged his eldest brother: "Then we have to hurry up. If the Ding family has recruited enough people, it will be too late."

Liu Bai got the order and called out again.

But no matter how fast the carriage was, it couldn't fly. Qin Yao and the three adults could only be thankful that the carriage had some advantages since they all had children with them.

However, when they surpassed the large army and arrived at Jinshi Town, the team coming out of Dingjiazhuang had already lined up on the official road.

That's three miles of land!

This shows how scarce the teaching resources are in the entire Jinshi Town. Within a few dozen miles, there is only one school like the Ding Clan School.

Liu Zhong got out of the car and ran to the front to investigate. When he came back, he shook his head and said, "The carriage can't pass. There are still carriages from several wealthy families blocking the road ahead."

"This can't work!" Liu Bai scratched his head, "We have to walk over." Cut in line.

I can't control that much right now, the child's future is important.

Qin Yao got out of the carriage, and the three of them quickly exchanged glances. Liu Bai's eyes were filled with enthusiasm, and Liu Zhong was a little hesitant.
