Although Su Xinyu really hated Madam Wang, she couldn't wait for her to get out of his sight. But when she heard the truth that the Chow Dalang and the Madam Wang left together, she also frowned, not feeling very happy. Especially when she heard the villagers gossip about how the Zhou Family was extremely benevolent to the Madam Wang and gave her face and distance, she felt a chill on her back.
She knew very well that sometimes, women's indifference towards women was the most dangerous. Indeed, the Madam Wang was not a good person. However, it was precisely due to this society's contempt for women that led to the tragedy of women being abandoned. After being abandoned, they would be disgraced, and would even be sold off by their families as goods. What was worse, being forced to commit suicide was nothing new.
She felt that what she lamented was not the Madam Wang, but everyone's attitude. It was as if the man was willing to let He Li be the most forgiving to women. But in fact, putting aside the fact that the ones being bullied were her and her mother, was Madam Wang really that evil? Zhou Tian and his wife had never been even with a bowl of water before. Even though she didn't personally experience it, she still had the girl's memories. Although the Madam Wang was bold and fierce in the past, she always brought things back to her parents' home. But she was submissive to her parents-in-law. Furthermore, Zhou Sanlang never went into production, and because the Madam Su were related to the Elementary Scholar to High Scholar, Zhou Tianyi had to have some face, adding that his Madam Su embroidery was extremely good for selling things at home, Madam Wang was like a man that went against Zhou Sanlang's plans.
Almost all the silver from Chow Dalang was given to Zhou Tian and his wife to read. She would complain about how normal it was. If this was in the modern world, wouldn't this kind of woman be touched by the judges? Of course, Su Xinyu did not sympathize with the Madam Wang at all. After all, no matter how much jealousy and injustice she had, she shouldn't have used violence on other innocent people, especially on such a young child. Only she knew that the Madam Wang had already killed the little girl, so her feelings were very subtle, and she didn't know how to describe it.
Fortunately, Su Xinyu didn't have much time to lament over the gender inequality here. The female teacher that Madam Liu invited arrived quickly.
This female teacher was also a lonely person whose husband had passed away. Furthermore, her family had been quite wealthy. Since she was young, she had been skilled in calligraphy and painting. Unfortunately, her husband hadn't left behind any descendants after he had married his husband. His parents had died as well. Although her sister-in-law and nephew treated her extremely well, she didn't want to stay in her family and eat and drink for nothing ever since she was chased away by her brother-in-law. Thus, he would occasionally go and be a female teacher to the young miss of a large family. Sometimes, he would stay in the family for a year or two.
The female teacher's surname was Li, her maiden name was Yi Lin, and her husband's surname was Chen. In this era, when a woman married, she would change her husband's surname, and as long as her husband died, no one would call her by her maiden name. Therefore, while others would call her Master Li, Su Xinyu would call her Mister Li.
Li Yilin immediately fell in love with Su Xinyu when she saw him for the first time. Ten years ago, she had been a teacher in six houses and had taught ten young ladies. There were those who were sensible and obedient, and also those who were mischievous and mischievous, but it was the first time that she had seen someone as spirited as Su Xinyu. Her big eyes were twinkling, and when she looked at her, she felt better. How could there be such a cute child?
Since Mr. Li had moved in, Su Xinyu's life had become more compact. In the morning, Mr. Li had arranged for her to follow him to the courtyard to stretch out her muscles and bones. Although Li Yilin said it was important for a woman to maintain the flexibility of her body. But Su Xinyu didn't want to hear the truth at all as to why she kept it. All she had to do was know that this was good for her health. Other... Hehe, she really isn't interested.
Su Xinyu did not have time to cook breakfast right now. In the morning, she would take turns learning the few things she knew about the zither, the calligraphy, the calligraphy, and the poetry of arithmetic. Learn one every day and then take a day off. Although it was just a coincidence, to Su Xinyu, to go from studying for five days in a week to learning for six days was still quite darned.
Originally, Li Yilin had arranged for this afternoon's teaching to be done while teaching the culinary arts. However, on the very first day, she discovered that Su Xinyu's culinary skills were much better than hers, which surprised her. However, she did not neglect this method of teaching. After all, there were still many food customs and taboos that Su Xinyu was willing to listen to. Therefore, the curriculum had not changed.
In the afternoon, Su Xinyu still needed to allocate one and a half hours of time to go to the Tian Family to learn medicine. Li Yilin agreed with him. But because the schedule was so tight, Su Xinyu didn't have any time to play. This caused Ernil to feel very depressed. Everyday, they would count on their fingers to see when Xinyu's resting time would arrive, so that the two of them could go up the mountain to play. Maybe she could even meet the Young Master Wen and eat barbecue.
Su Xinyu also wanted to play. But she knew that in order to do the best, in order to make herself more likely to win, this woman's impression was also very important. Therefore, she didn't hide anything from the beginning of her studies. Originally, the news that she was a prodigy had spread throughout the village. If she hid herself any longer, it would damage her reputation.
Li Yilin was truly stunned by Su Xinyu. This child could be said to be as good at cooking as an adult who had studied for many years. Other than cooking and painting, Zither Chess and Lil 'Red could be considered ordinary. However, it was impossible to become proficient in every single aspect without spending eight to ten years of effort. And Su Xinyu's foundation was already one grade higher. This child was truly worthy of being called a prodigy. She truly had amazing talent.
Since her teacher was willing to teach her and her student was fast, Li Yi Lin would pass on all her knowledge to Su Xinyu. Naturally, Su Xinyu did not disappoint her. Of course, Su Xinyu could sense Li Yilin's sincere intentions in her heart, so she was not stingy in using the ingredients with spirit energy on Li Yilin. For such a good woman, she wanted her to get better and better.
In the blink of an eye, it was already the end of autumn. When it was the harvest time, all the farmers were extremely busy. Although Su Xinyu did not need to do anything, Madam Liu and Madam Su had to be busy. Madam Liu was busy with her harvests, while Madam Su was busy with Zhou Tian's three meals a day. Therefore, Li Yi Lin gave Su Xinyu a month and a half of vacation, and took the opportunity to go home and help. Ever since her family lost, her brother and sister-in-law also bought land, although many of them were considered small landowners. However, she still left 10 mu of land for herself. When she went back, she would not be able to farm, but she could still cook and clean for the whole family.
Once Mr. Li left, Su Xinyu seemed to have been liberated. Madam Liu and Madam Su doted on her, so she had no need to go to the fields to work. Thus, she brought along the Ernil and the two little girls ran towards their beloved Western Mountain.
Of course, entering the mountain was to pick things. Autumn harvest season mountain naturally also has a big harvest. Last year's hawthorn tree was red again. The two of them picked the hawthorn for three days. However, they were the ones on the first day. They had followed quite a few girls in the following two days. Su Xinyu even told them how to dry the hawthorn seeds after returning home. This way, after drying, winter can also drink sour hawthorn water.
Su Xinyu was the one whom everyone knew the most in their hearts. Now that there was an additional female teacher teaching them, they would definitely know more. There were even people who dragged Su Xinyu to her house to see if she had done the right thing. she also treated Su Xinyu as little mister.
However, this was not the most important thing. The most important thing was that it was also the season for harvesting walnuts. Su Xinyu went up the mountain because she wanted to see if all of these were mature enough. They found walnuts and chestnuts ripe, but sunflower seeds needed to wait. Thus, she told Tian Liyong that he could return to the village to collect the goods.
Now was the time to be busy with farming. Most people would be harvesting crops, so when they went to harvest mountain goods, it fell on the children's heads.
Needless to say, the children's ability to move was extremely strong. Especially when they found out that those things could be sold for money, they were all very excited. However, Tian Liyong was also worried that these kids would not be careful, so he took a leave from the Guard Battalion to return and pick the goods together with them. Although he said that he had gone to the Guard Battalion to become a soldier, in the end, it was the Fifth Prince who took him in. Furthermore, he was Xu Sihai's disciple, how could General Wang imprison him in the army camp? Furthermore, they could not move their guards camp even a single inch. They could not leave any traces for the Lou Clan to deal with.
From chestnuts to walnuts to sunflower seeds, the harvest season was not only for adults, but also for children. But although he was tired, the price Xu Sihai offered him was not low. Firstly, he gave face to Su Xinyu and her disciple, and secondly, he brought the dried fruit soup to the capital to sell at a good price. He had to supply these ingredients here, so he could only earn more. Naturally, all the silver he earned was for Master to use. It could also be said that even though Shangguan Lin didn't keep Su Xinyu by his side, he still received help from her due to her good fortune.
When the adults learned that these children were able to earn a few taels of silver by picking up mountain goods, they were all astonished. A single hoist was equivalent to about one tael of silver. In addition, his hands and feet worked nimbly, so he had the strength to earn two taels of silver. It was only then that they realized that their mountain was filled with treasures. He first praised his own child and then took away the money. In the end, only families praised Tian Liyong for his benevolence and righteousness, he even went to the Guard Battalion to be a small official, and did not forget to help his neighbors.
By the time the mountain was finished, the leaves had almost fallen. Mr. Li was about to return. Su Xinyu planned to explore the mountain alone. Actually, the main reason he wanted to go into space was to collect some local herbs. Of course, there were also some fruit trees and seedlings in the mountains. This was also the habit of Su Family. No matter where they went, they would have to gather some unique local plants, especially food, so there were many different species of plants left behind by their ancestors in the mountains and plains. Recently, Su Xinyu felt a little uneasy and even dreamt that she and his mother had left this place. She had never felt that she had the ability to predict. But it was inevitable that her mood would be affected. So she decided to advance the collection.
Just as he was struggling to dig out a walnut tree sapling, a familiar voice came from behind him. Lady Xinyu, let us do these menial tasks. Zheng Liang, why aren't you helping out? "
Turning his head, he saw Wen Ling. What a coincidence. I met you again. "
Shangguan Lin also laughed, "It's not a coincidence. "I know you've been coming up the mountain every day recently to thank the girl."
