Chapter 449: Hoping for a Mother to Become a Phoenix in Ancient Farming Literature 13

The children ran for a distance and looked back, only to find that the bees were only stinging Ye Baoshun.

Ye Baoshun held his head and ran around, but no matter how he tried to hide, it was useless. The bees seemed to know him and surrounded him and stung him hard.

The children widened their eyes in shock and covered their mouths not daring to make a sound for fear of attracting bees.

The swarm of bees did not leave until Ye Baoshun fainted from the pain.

The older children came forward to help carry Ye Baoshun down the mountain. Changan waited until they were all gone before coming out of the bushes and slowly walking down the mountain.

She was playing tricks on people in the mountains, and Jing Yu was cheating his father in town.

The biscuits sell well and are not expensive. Everyone is willing to try some of them and buy some home for their children to taste.

The biscuits are crispy foods and some of them were damaged after being placed at the bottom. There was about half a pound of damaged ones. Jing Yu picked them up and took them to give to her parents to eat.

Mr. Jing and Mrs. Jing looked at the biscuits placed in the middle of the small round table in silence. There seemed to be a lot of them, but they couldn't find a complete one.

"Jing Yu, when can you be generous for once?" Mrs. Jing felt so tired. Neither she nor her husband were stingy people, so why did they give birth to a daughter who was so stingy?

"Mom, why am I not generous? Last time I gave you a whole old hen, and this time I gave you half a pound of biscuits, which I made myself. Even though they are broken into pieces, they are fragrant, crispy and delicious."

Jing Yu crossed her legs, picked up a piece and put it in her mouth, and did not forget to feed a small piece to her parents each.

Mr. Jing and Mrs. Jing only tasted it once, but they thought it tasted good and wanted to try it again.

Then I saw this filial daughter of their family hugged the whole thing in her arms and ate like a starving ghost.

"You're going to die! You have no manners at all. What a shame!" Mrs. Jing moved a little further away from her with disgust.

Jing Yu patted the biscuit crumbs on his body and said nonchalantly: "I haven't had breakfast yet. I've been selling biscuits on the street all morning. Now I'm starving. Don't try to reason with a hungry person. It won't work."

Hearing her say this, Madam Jing began to feel sorry for her again, "Tell me, if you had listened to me and your father, would your life have ended up like this?"

After all, she is my own daughter. No matter how disobedient she is, I will still feel sorry for her.

"No, that won't work. I'd rather live a hard life than marry an ugly man," Jing Yu didn't think her life was hard now. It was good. Compared to those who starved to death, at least she was still alive.

Mrs. Jing rubbed her forehead and said, "No, it hurts. I have a headache."

How could she see that such a gentle and handsome man was ugly?

Jing Yu said that anyone who is not her type can be called ugly.

She likes sunny, handsome and well-built men, not weak and frail scholars.

Besides, that Young Master Luo is very hypocritical. She and he are not the same kind of people.

"Mom, it's all in the past, can we not mention it? Dad, please help me find a house as soon as possible, preferably one with a shop in the front and a yard in the back. Please also advance the money, and I will pay you back when I make money."

Jing Yu spoke confidently, without any embarrassment at all.

Mr. Jing: ...

Fortunately, he only has this one daughter. If he had two more, he would live several years less.

Jing Yu returned to the village after having lunch at Jing's house. He did not return empty-handed, but went to the kitchen and took away a bag of flour.

I went home and boasted to Changan, "Anan, I thought of a good way to save costs."

Changan: ??? What good things are you thinking about?

All the materials used are necessities and cannot be saved.

But Jing Yu said cheerfully: "Get the flour from grandma's house, so we don't have to buy it ourselves."

"Mom, even if you go to grandma's house to get flour, we are not saving any cost. It's just that the cost has been paid by grandpa and grandma. You can't just take in and not spend out. Either give a share to grandpa and grandma, or give money to buy flour."

Chang'an wiped away sad tears for Mr. Jing and Madam Jing. How much money did he owe Jing Yu in his previous life that she chased him in this life?

Jing Yu was like a wilted sunflower. Thinking about the fact that her brothers at home were all married, she really couldn't keep pulling her parents around.

Then let's find someone who is not married. Brother Jing is a good candidate. I found out yesterday that his parents give him twenty taels of silver every month for pocket money.

She doesn't want it all, just give her 17 or 18 taels.

Chang'an looked at her mother's cunning smile and knew that she was definitely not up to no good.

"Mom, how about you collect those thoughts you're sending out?"

Chang'an took out two books, one on arithmetic and the other on strategy. Both were bought from the system mall by 996, and she had no idea what the contents were.

"Mom, read and learn these two books."

Jing Yu took two steps back and said, "An An, there's no need to read books, right? As long as the business is good, we can hire an accountant and a talented manager to run the business."

Although Changan felt that what she said made sense, he still did not miss the opportunity to let her mother learn.

"If you don't know anything, can you guarantee that the people you hire are loyal? Be careful not to get cheated by helping to count money."

Jing Yujue thought about it and it seemed that it was indeed unreasonable. "Why don't you just study peacefully? Anyway, my mother's property will be left to you in the future."

"Mom, if you don't learn it first, your property will be defrauded by others before I grow up."

"Do you really want to learn?" Jing Yu made her last struggle. She felt that the book was poisonous and it would make her faint every time she read it.

Chang'an stuffed two thick books into her arms and said, "You must learn."

Doing business is not Chang'an's purpose. She wants Jing Yu to take the examination to become a female school tutor in the capital. The status of women in Lin'an is relatively high.

Although no women entered the court, there were female officials in the palace. The rank of female officials was not as important as that of court officials.

Being a female official also requires assessment and selection through imperial examinations, just like court officials. Lin'an has an imperial examination system for women, but the content of the examination is different from that of men and is relatively easier.

But it’s not that easy, as they are all talented people who have been selected through a rigorous selection process.

Of course, she didn't want Jing Yu to be a lady-in-waiting in the palace. She was not suitable for a place full of intrigue.

There was a women's palace school in the capital, and the teachers in the school all held official ranks. Chang'an wanted her mother to be a teacher.

All major cities also have girls' schools, which not only teach strategies but also various survival skills. Some girls' schools are privately run, and of course one has to pass an exam to enroll.

Merchants cannot take the imperial examinations. Chang'an never really thought of letting her mother open a shop from the beginning. Isn't this just a step-by-step trick?

"Mom, if we want to do it, we have to do it big and strong. We don't have to sell the cakes directly ourselves."

Jing Yu's face was full of question marks. She already wanted to show off her skills, and you told her that you don't sell pastries anymore, what should she do then?

"My girl, what's wrong with you?"

"Mom, please listen to me first. We don't sell pastries, but we can sell technology. We can open a new pastry training academy and let others teach, and you can be the teacher."

It’s still about making money, but the identity has changed.

Just like a person who opens a study and sells books will be labeled a businessman, but a person who opens an academy and teaches students will become a principal respected by everyone.

Can you say that the person who runs a study is uneducated?

No, there are certain requirements for opening a study in Lin'an State. All formal books are from official sources. If a private individual wants to open a study, he must take an exam and has a certain level of cultural literacy required.

Of course, the imperial court would not care about those who sold small storybooks, and the imperial court could not bring out all the storybook writers in Lin'an for examination.

"Tongzi, could the emperor of Lin'an be a time traveler?"
