Chapter 69

Goudan cried all the way home to find his grandma, but Datou was not afraid of him, so he ran home to find his grandma, "Grandma, someone outside is saying bad things about my aunt!"

Qian shi frowned slightly, "What did you say, who said it?"

"Goudan's grandma said that my aunt was not born by my grandparents!"

The smile on Qian's face fell, and he put the half-finished insole aside, propped up on the chair, and looked outside.

Coincidentally, Mrs. Zhang, Zhou Dayuan's daughter-in-law, also dragged her grandson Goudan and killed him.

It is common for children to fight in the village, but there is no nosebleed in the children.

Not to mention Mr. Zhang, even ordinary people will be angry.

The Zhang family has always been at odds with the Qian family, and it is even more impossible to let this matter go. Seeing that her grandson was beaten like this, she didn't even ask the reason, and directly dragged people here to discuss it.

It's just that she didn't have time to ask her guilt. Qian Shi first said, "You came just in time. I heard from my eldest grandson. Your youngest grandson said what you said, my family Manbao is not my child?"

Zhang Shi suddenly woke up.

"Then let's go to the village chief's house and ask the village elders to tell me if Man Bao was born to me."

Zhang's face turned pale, and she looked down at her grandson, not sure if he had listened to her when she was whispering to the old man.

Although Zhang Shi was a little guilty at this time, he was more angry and said: "Aunt Qian, who knows where the child heard the small talk? Anyway, I never said such a thing, no matter what, your family is the big one. You can't beat our dog eggs, he's a year older than our dog eggs."

Qian said, "The words came from your grandson. He said it was you."

Zhang Shi was choked.

Qian looked down at Datou and said, "Go to the mountain and call your grandfather and your father back. Let's go to the village chief's house."

Only then did Mrs. Zhang panic, and said, "Aunt Qian, it's just a fight between the two children. Your family has the face to make trouble at the village chief's house, but my family has no face."

"If it's just two children fighting and hitting the dog with the head, I will teach him a lesson, but this also involves my daughter Manbao, so I want you to say it again in front of all the old and young men in the village, is Manbao really? I was born, did you talk nonsense, or did I steal Zhou Jin behind his back?"

Mrs. Zhang was so angry that she was almost at a loss for words. Who was born in Zhou Man, who does not know in the whole village?

But when looking at Qian's eyes, Zhang didn't dare to say it willfully.

Mr. Qian changed from his past gentleness, and dragged Mrs. Zhang to the village chief's house very strongly.

Because of this dispute, the heads of many households in the village were called back from the fields, and many children went to join in the fun. Although Qian wanted the children to watch, he didn't want the situation to be too ugly, and that would not be good for Manbao.

So the children were driven away, leaving only the elders and the heads of households to stay.

Man Bao didn't know anything about this, she was whispering with Bai Shanbao at this time.

Bai Shanbao said, "I've thought about it, if I want to become very good, very good, then I have to study. I want to study in order to become good."

Man Bao asked him, "How powerful does it have to be to be considered powerful?"

Bai Shanbao thought about it for a long time last night, so he said, "More powerful than the patriarch of our Bai family, more powerful than everyone in the Bai family, so that no one can bully me, my grandmother and mother."

He does not study for honoring his ancestors, nor for inheriting his father's legacy. For the former, he does not think that his ancestors have any glory that he should carry forward. For the latter, he has no impression of his father. His father only exists in his grandmother and mother. in the mouth.

He whispered to Man Bao, "When I was studying in the clan school, because I didn't have a father, they always bullied me, even my husband because I didn't have a father, no matter who I argue with, it's all my fault, and there are always people. scolded me for lack of education."

He snorted unconvincingly: "I am not lacking in education. My grandmother taught me many things since I was a child, and I have written them down."

Man Bao was filled with righteous indignation, "They are really bad!"

Bai Shanbao nodded, "But they are not the worst, the worst are those uncles and aunts, and the patriarch, because I don't have a father, they want my family's property, my mother said, those properties are to be kept for me Studying and marrying a wife."

Bai Shanbao still remembers the way he hid behind the screen and looked at his grandmother begging those people, with hatred and stubbornness in his eyes, he gritted his teeth: "My mother said, the patriarch is the prefect of Jingzhou, and the fifth My uncle is a censor in the capital, so the two of them have the confidence to say they want to take over my family's business, hum, I will be even more powerful than them in the future, and I will be a bigger official than them."

Man Bao applauded him, "You will definitely succeed, it's just the imperial examination, it's not difficult."

Bai Shanbao looked at her, "How do you know?"

Man Bao was full of confidence, "I guess, we are smart people."

She also asked Keke, "Is the imperial examination good?"

The system said: "Not good!"

Man Bao stared, "Didn't you say that Shan Bao and I are very smart people?"

The system said: "There are many smart people in this world, and there are many smart people who are more diligent than you. This year, only 20 people were selected as jinshi, and 98 people in Mingjing. Bai Shanbao is very smart, but he is young, whether he can be diligent or not. Certainly. Reading doesn’t depend on talent.”

Man Bao said to Bai Shanbao seriously: "You must study hard, otherwise even if the imperial examination is not difficult, you will not be able to pass the exam."

She was a little timid, and she shouldn't have jumped to conclusions just now. Now that she changes her words will not only damage her "majesty", but will also damage the enthusiasm of her friends.

The system took the opportunity to educate her, "So it's better to go through investigation to draw conclusions in the future. There is a saying in the ancients that if you don't investigate, you have no right to speak."

Man Bao asked, "Which ancient man said this?"

"To me, it is the ancients, and to the host, it is the descendants."

Man Bao nodded, "It turned out to be what my descendants said."

Koko couldn't help being silent.

Man Bao has no other choice but to urge Bai Shanbao to study more and work harder, otherwise he will fail the imperial examination in the future, how can she explain it to him?

For this reason, Man Bao also studied with him very seriously. Of course, because she was relatively young and her progress was relatively slow, she read books, and then asked him for advice, and he explained to her.

But Man Bao would not admit that she disturbed him. She felt that her husband was right. He learned new things by reviewing the past. When she asked him for advice, he was also reviewing the past. Naturally, he could gain new knowledge every time.

After school in the afternoon, Man Bao followed Bai Shanbao out of the classroom with a small bookcase on his back. They were still discussing the interpretation of a Ziyu that she asked for advice just now, so they didn't pay attention to the fact that he didn't come to pick her up.

The two walked while talking, and walked to Bai's house very naturally. After seeing Liu, they went to the study to read.

They took out the bamboo slips from the back of the book, looked at them curiously, and put them back. Then the two of them searched for books everywhere to read.

Man Bao felt that they had to read a lot of books before they could be admitted to the imperial examination, so even if some books could not be read, they had to read them.

Of course, in order not to embarrass themselves, they will still find books they are interested in first.
