Chapter 16 Mother seems a little different from before

, the fastest update of the correct version of Zhao Jin and Pei Xiling who transformed into a Hou family widow and returned the dead ghost to her husband!

Pei Huanyan blushed, slapped the mirror on the table, and said dissatisfied: "Mother~"

"I'm not kidding you." Zhao Jin touched her head, "Did you listen to what I said to your second brother the day before yesterday?"

"A little bit..." Pei Huanyan said, "But the second brother is a man, and he is born to make contributions and study hard. I am a woman, can I only be a female celebrity?"

"Both men and women should have their own bright future." Zhao Jin said seriously, "Everyone is an independent individual. Women cannot take scientific examinations to become officials or rise to the top, but we do not necessarily study for these.

It is to increase our knowledge, to distinguish between right and wrong, to understand things, and to have a broader mind and mind, instead of being limited to the one-third of an acre of land in the back house, living a life of caring for your husband and raising your children, being jealous, and seeing the end at a glance."

Even if nothing changes in the end, at least people have read more books and have a broader mind. People's thoughts and spirits will be richer, and their views on people and things will not be too one-sided and persistent.

At least in Zhao Jin's view, 80% of those so-called dramas of fighting for favor and house fighting can be eliminated from their lives. People can see more things, so they won't just limit their vision to the back house.

In the middle, I am trapped and struggling and cannot escape.

Most women in ancient times were undoubtedly miserable, and Zhao Jin did not want her child to eventually become one of the many "virtuous matrons" or "narrow-minded and intolerant matrons".

Women's joys and sorrows should not be tied only to men.

Pei Huanyan seemed to understand: "But... isn't that what we are like?"

I learned knitting from a young age, and I only need to know a few words, and can read account books. When I grow up, I will marry a good family, and then I will marry my husband and raise my children. When the children grow up, I will become an old prince with children and grandchildren around my knees.

This is their life, right?

Even if there are some unforeseen surprises along the way, they will generally not go outside the box.

Zhao Jin said: "It's not that there's anything wrong with such a life, but that we can also enrich our spiritual world..."

Halfway through, Zhao Jin stopped talking when he saw that Pei Huanyan's expression gradually matched that of Pei Chengzhou the day before.

She felt that she might not be suitable to speak these big principles, especially to children.

Although what she said was not profound, it was not what children wanted to hear. She had never raised children before and didn't know how to solve this situation.

But she was very persistent about studying.

Because she is someone who has truly experienced that reading can change her destiny. Although this is feudal ancient times, she does not feel that reading is useless. At least it is true that it can gain knowledge and wisdom.

Girls should study more.

"Mom?" Pei Huanyan called her, tilting her head and waving her hand in front of her eyes, "But mother, you said before that studying is useless."

"Now I know my mistake and I have an epiphany." Zhao Jin said sternly, "No matter whether reading is useful or not, you must read it!"

Wait until she figures out what the child likes and can hear before explaining it to her, and learn it now!

For a thirteen-year-old girl, who was still in junior high school in modern times, it was enough to know a little bit about knitting girls so that she would not be laughed at. Besides, a noble girl from an aristocratic family did not need to be proficient in these things.

Of course, the extra time is more cost-effective to play music, chess, calligraphy, painting and reading.

Although she doesn't know how to raise children, she still knows how children become successful. Interest is one thing, but you must also learn what you need to learn, and you must understand what you need to know.

Pei Huanyan also understood that she probably couldn't escape, and sighed.

Just study, she has more time anyway, and she is not as resistant to studying as her second brother is.

Zhao Jin touched her head: "Don't worry, mother doesn't ask you to delve into knowledge like your brothers. You can read whatever books you like, including travel notes... Of course, you must read history books."

Hearing this, Pei Huanyan's eyes lit up: "I like reading story books!"

When she finished speaking, she saw the deepening smile on Zhao Jin's face. She hesitated slightly and lost her temper: "Okay, history books are history books."

"Two hours of reading every day is enough." Zhao Jin is not someone who exploits children, "Mother will read with you."

Pei Huanyan looked at her in surprise.

Zhao Jin smiled and said: "So studying is really a good thing."

The memory of the original owner is not omnipotent, she always wants to understand this era by herself, and she also loves to read books. She happens to be a companion with her daughter, and can occasionally exchange reading insights, which gets twice the result with half the effort.

Of course, the most important point is that she can't write calligraphy. Although she can imitate the original handwriting like a cat or a tiger, it's not tangible. She plans to copy the posts of famous writers to practice good calligraphy.

When Pei Huanyan heard that her mother wanted to study with her, she immediately smiled and rolled her eyes, and the last bit of dissatisfaction in her heart disappeared.

It's always more pleasant to have someone with you, let alone with your parents.

After staying with her daughter for a while, Zhao Jin transferred to Ninganyuan, taking the collection of ink that Pei Huanyan finally found.

Ning'an Yuan study room.

Pei Chengzhou stared blankly at the book open in front of him, with a bitter look on his face. He couldn't even sit still. He either touched the inkstone or stretched his legs and feet, but he was very restrained and did not make a sound.

Opposite him sat Pei Chengyun.

Unlike him, Pei Chengyun's sitting posture was upright, his back straight, and he occasionally flipped the book or picked up a pen to mark, as if he was completely immersed in the book.

In addition to the Four Treasures of the Study, he also had a ruler neatly placed in his hand.

It is no exaggeration to say that even this ruler is more upright and well-mannered than Pei Chengzhou.

"Second brother, can't you sit still?" Pei Chengyun turned over a page of the book and asked softly without raising his head.

Pei Chengzhou opened his mouth to say something, but when he caught sight of the ruler from the corner of his eye, he swallowed his words again: "...No."

After the conversation between the two ended, Pei Chengzhou was quiet for a while.

Zhao Jin saw this scene when he came in.

Don't tell me, it looks quite cute from a distance.

"Mother!"

Pei Chengzhou was the first to notice it, his face suddenly showed joy, and he hurriedly stood up and came over to greet him.

Although this child longed for maternal love, it was the first time that Zhao Jin saw such an obvious surprise on his face. She was no stranger to this expression.

Just like a popular saying in the modern workplace: When you are at work, everyone wants to chat with anyone who sends you a message, but when you are off work, everyone sends you a message and you don’t want to take any notice.

At this time, Pei Chengyun also stood up and came over, bowed his hands and saluted.

"Why is mother here?"

Pei Chengzhou helped Zhao Jin sit down, served tea and water, and was extremely attentive.

"Let's take a look at you." Zhao Jin took the tea and took a sip.

"What is this?" Pei Chengzhou's sharp eyes saw the brocade box in Xichun's hand, "Did mother give it to us?"

"This, Huanyan gave this to you."

Pei Chengzhou had already opened it, and the next moment he grimaced: "Ji Jin Mo..."

Hearing this, Pei Chengyun raised his eyebrows slightly: "My little sister is still considerate, I just used up the few pieces."

"Your sister has been looking for this for a long time and gave it to you specially." Zhao Jin said with a smile.

"She is so considerate!" Pei Chengzhou rolled his eyes.
