Ah, if your life is stable in the future, just study and write well."
"I don't want to do it. What do I learn from my daughter's family? A woman's lack of talent is virtue."
"You have to have a longer vision. You can listen to me. If you don't understand anything, you will not know what it means if someone writes you stupid words in the future."
No, this sister's thoughts were taken apart by Mrs. Yu.
The Xia family is also a prominent family. It is common for women to study, but the Ruan family gave birth to three daughters in a row, one of which was more unwelcome than the other. The family affairs were taken care of by Ruan family inside and outside, and Xia Chan was
When she threw it to her grandmother's house, Xia Yan threw it directly to an old lady to take care of her.
The woman was given to her by her grandmother. She didn't know anything but was very proud. She was domineering and refused to interfere in Xia Yan's affairs. She always said that a woman's lack of talent is virtue.
After Ruan gave birth to a son, she made a free move to train her daughter, but she became wild.
"I don't want it. I'm so old and I'm so old, I'll make people laugh at me."
"If you don't know a big word, what good thing do you think is? Don't you laugh at you?"
"But Mrs. Yu said that a woman has no talent..."
"So she can only be a servant for the rest of her life. Xia Yan, you want to be like her, you want to be looked down upon in the future, and I won't talk about you, just talk about the lady of aristocratic families you know, what big words do you don't know?
of?"
Xia Yan opened her mouth, but couldn't say a single one.
"I don't know what others think, but I will not harm you as my sister."
Xia Yan lowered her head and said nothing. In fact, she also understood in her heart that some friends would joke with her behind her back.
"Sister, but I'm thirteen years old." It's too late.
When others laughed at her, the elder sister comforted her and told her that it was okay. It would be fine if she grew up and learned to be a housekeeper. Then find a wealthy family with a fair share of the door, marry her and become the mistress of the family, and have no knowledge of having children.

"How could it be late? It's time. Let's do this. I'll go to your Changfeng brother to borrow a few books and teach you how to read first."
After stuffing the chicken to Xia Yan, she immediately went to Xia Changfeng's place.
When Xia Changfeng heard her purpose, he immediately brought her some simple enlightenment books.
Old Mrs. Xia heard it inside and said in a long voice: "I have the leisure to do it. What's the use of doing these things? Girls have to get married if they grow up, so why don't they come and squeeze my feet?"
Xia Changfeng quickly said, "Sister Xiaochan, grandmother has been feeling a little uncomfortable these days and is restless and irritable. Don't take it to your heart."
"I'm too lazy to bother with her. I'll just teach my sister, and there's no need to beg her. Brother Changfeng, wait for it to be more stable, don't give up."
Xia Changfeng just shook his head weakly and smiled bitterly, and changed the topic: "Why is the head of the Zhou family exiled here?"
"I don't know the specific ones."
"They are from the Zhou family, and they all speak very steadily. I have been inquiring for two days but I don't know. But I think it seems that it's not easy for them to be here."
"Yes, so it's better not to make enemies."
"Sorry, Xiaochan, at noon, I didn't stand up and talk to you."
