In fact, at the beginning, the brothers of the Zhu family were not so divided into "factions".

Zhu San is not fully grown up yet, Zhu Si and Zhu Wu are still very young, and sometimes they do wrong things.

In order to avoid being punished, they will also "lie" and shirk responsibility.

At that time, Zhu Da and Zhu Er also really loved their biological brothers. When they saw that they would be beaten by Old Man Zhu, they would sometimes stand up and say that they were the ones who did it.

Because they think that if they are older, they will be fine if they are beaten, but it is different for their younger brothers. They are young and their bodies and bones cannot bear it.

The two brothers reminisced about their childhood, and then heard Mrs. Liu calling them to eat.

Ye Yuran was not here, but there were still many people in the Zhu family, so they had to move a big table and fill it up.

As a new "guest", Bian Qiuying was also invited to the table.

However, she did not expect that the Zhu family's "poverty" exceeded her imagination.

Even though she is just the daughter of an old flower farmer, because her father has a job, she has been well-dressed and well-fed since she was a child. In addition, she is a maidservant for the wealthy lady of the master's family, so she is raised like a "vice lady".

When I was young, I could eat and live with the eldest lady, eat and drink together, and there weren't that many rules.

But as the eldest lady grew up, she had to "pick up" the rules of a maid.

But Bian Qiuying couldn't bear the hardship. She didn't dare to make trouble at the master's house. If she didn't return home, she would make trouble with the old flower farmer and his wife.

Later, the old flower farmer and his wife had no choice but to find connections and ask for grace to let the host family release her.

She was released from prison, but the temperament of the "Vice Lady" was left behind. The huge gap in life gave her some kind of ambition.

The old flower farmer thought that Bian Qiuying was attracted by the big boss and "robbed" her, but he didn't know that in fact all this was "calculated" by Bian Qiuying.

She knew how much he liked him and knew when and where he would appear, so she dressed up beautifully and walked around.

It's just that she is smarter than other girls - she doesn't want to have sex without any guarantee.

But what she didn't expect was that her "fall from favor" would come so quickly, and that the eldest master's wife would be so cruel...

Mrs. Lin saw that Bian Qiuying had a hard time swallowing, and asked with concern: "What's the matter? Do you have a bad appetite?"

Looking at these coarse food that she regarded as inferior, Bian Qiuying's smile froze for a moment: "Probably... right? I have walked such a long way and experienced so many things, so I really am not in the mood to eat...

"

"Sigh... I can understand." Mrs. Lin patted her hand and consoled her, "When my mother just passed away, I was just like you, very sad. But people have to look forward and not stare all the time.

The past is over, and the days to come are still long. If you keep staring at the past, how will you live in the future?"

"I know, I just..." Bian Qiuying looked uncomfortable.

—— Damn! Why didn’t her father explain clearly that the Zhu family is so poor?

——How can she eat these things?

Seeing that she was feeling uncomfortable, Mrs. Lin didn't make things difficult for her anymore: "You've never been hungry, and when you do, you'll want to eat. Let's do this. I'll keep your share in the pot for you later. First, I'll keep it in the pot for you.

Keep it warm, and you can eat it whenever you feel hungry."

"Thank you, I really don't know what to say..." Who the hell wants to eat this kind of thing? Even if there is no bird's nest and white fungus, can't you make something that people can eat?

Such a big pot of stupid stuff is for feeding pigs, right?

Seeing Bian Qiuying thanking herself so much, Lin was very pleased.

Zhu Si couldn't help but touched Zhu Wu's arm secretly and motioned him to look this way: "Your wife, have you seen this?"

Zhu Wu didn't want to speak at all: He was so stupid that he really couldn't see.

I have never been so kind to him, but to be so considerate to a suspicious "outsider" is really...

A little frustrated.

Over dinner, Bian Qiuying also had a little idea of ​​the Zhu family's personnel situation.

The main reason is that Mrs. Lin will introduce her secretly, fearing that she won't be able to tell people apart and will offend them.

When Bian Qiuying heard that the Zhu family was actually a "farming and studying family" and had a scholar, he was very surprised: "A scholar?!"

"Yes, our seventh child is a scholar," Mrs. Lin said happily, a little proudly. "Let me tell you, he is very smart. He didn't study for long, and he passed the exam all at once, and he also got the county exam.

Ling's recommendation letter, he went to study in the state school. Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that my mother-in-law was not here when you came? Because my mother-in-law sent him to study..."

Bian Qiuying secretly cried out: This scholar is confused in his heart, can't he tell that?

She quickly asked: "Zhouxue? Is that far?"

Although she stayed in a wealthy family, that family was a businessman and there were few scholars, so she really didn't know anything about studying.

All I know is that even the great master will be polite to scholars who have a good reputation.

"Ying'er, your master, I hugged you with a big thick leg, do you know? Hahaha..." The elder master hugged her slim waist and showed off it when he was happy.

To this day, she still remembers the way the elder smiled happily.

But the person the eldest master likes more is a "threat" to her current situation.

"It's quite far, it will take several days, otherwise my mother-in-law wouldn't have gone so far to see him off." Mrs. Lin said, "This time I will be back during the Chinese New Year, and the state school will also be on annual leave.

…”

Ms. Lin was a little unsure because she seemed to have never heard anyone ask this question before.

However, Cen's Academy is also a place for studying. If it is placed here, the state school should also be placed, right?

When Bian Qiuying heard that there were still several months left, she breathed a sigh of relief: "It turns out that it will take so long, so it's really hard for him..." Before she left the Zhu family, it was best not to come back.

These few months were enough for her to plan.

"It's quite hard. I get up before dawn, do Wu Qin Xi, read books, practice calligraphy... except for eating, drinking and having diarrhea." Thinking of Dabao and Erbao, who are like this now, Lin sighed with emotion, "Before,

I only think that it is easy to be a scholar. Only those who have scholars in their families know that everything in this world is easy. If you don’t pay, you will not gain anything. There are difficulties in farming, and there are difficulties in studying. Once we plant the land,

It only takes one year to know what the harvest will be; if you read this book for so many years, you still don’t know what it will be like in the end..."

"Isn't there someone in your family who has already been admitted as a scholar?"

"That's because Lao Qi is lucky, but what about others? There are so many scholars in the world. Some people will pass the exam every time, and some will fail. Before the final result comes out, who knows what will happen? What if you are really unlucky?

, I’ve been taking exams all my life and still haven’t passed, isn’t that what people often call ‘nothing to gain’?”

…

I don't know if it's Bian Qiuying's misunderstanding. Although Lin, a country woman, sometimes speaks in a rough manner, she also makes sense.
