Ling Chaofeng invited him in to have a cup of tea, the Fast Catcher thanked him and said: ”When the new ruler ascends the throne, we will be getting married. These few days, all the gold of the nobles will be heading to the capital to participate in the selection.

The Aunt Zhang wrapped up the sliced beef mini and enthusiastically shoved it into the Fast Catcher's hands: ”Add a dish to the dish tonight. If you're not on duty next time, come and drink in the restaurant.”

After exchanging a few polite words with each other, that person left. Xiaowan looked at the notice on the wall again, and really did not know any words.

Just because from Baisha River Pier to Baisha Town, there was no village or shop for ten miles of road, the Ling Xiao Inn became the only place that could be used for business. Although the reputation of the Ling Xiao Inn was not good in the mouths of the local citizens, Ling Chaofeng was rather good at handling government affairs.

”How many words can you read?” Ling Chaofeng walked over and asked with a smile, ”Read it out for me.”

Xiaowan's face was flushed red as she mumbled, ”You clearly know that I can't read, but you still make fun of me.”

However, Ling Chaofeng asked: ”Do you want to learn? If you want to, then let's just learn seriously and not play around. When we have children in the future, how will mother teach them if she can't read? ”

Xiaowan's face became even redder. Seeing that Aunt Zhang was covering her mouth as she walked away with a smile, she lightly patted her husband and anxiously said: ”Daytime, who wants to have children with you?”

She turned around and was about to run away when she was caught by Ling Chaofeng.

Xiaowan immediately stood still, then nodded her head seriously: ”Yes, but is it too late to study now?”

”I can make it.” Ling Chaofeng called Ershan out, and asked him to look for the Enlightenment Book that he had read before.

They returned back to the shop and sat down. Not long later, Ershan delivered a < Three Character Classic > and a < Thousand Character Classic >. ”Keeping accounts is also good, in the future …”

The Xiaowan didn't wait for him to say anything about teaching the child and snatched the book away. He smiled and glared at him, not allowing him to speak any nonsense. He then lovingly opened the book and even brought it close to his nose, smelling the fragrance of the ink.

Aunt Zhang laughed and asked, ”Who will teach you and how should I learn? Would you like to invite a proper teacher or would you, shopkeeper, to teach them yourself? ”

Ling Chaofeng said: ”Only in September do I have a big guest here, I have nothing to do, I can teach you.”

Xiaowan focused on flipping the pages of the book. Although she could not read many pages, she could finally read and write. Although only males could attend school in the village, as long as their families weren't poor, they would still send their daughters to the Elementary Scholars' families to acknowledge their daughters. Naturally, Xiaowan did not have such opportunities.

Flipping through the pages, his eyes suddenly lit up. Xiaowan pointed at the words, ”The national wind, the beautiful song of the day.” Four verses, the chant of irony. ” With the word wind in his hands, he looked at Ling Chaofeng with a smile, ”Husband's name.”

Aunt Zhang cried out, ”I can't stay any longer.”

Seeing that they had all run away, the Xiaowan was so embarrassed that her face was flushed red. However, Ling Chaofeng said: ”Since you want to learn, do not fool around. You have to memorize the 'Three Character Classic' by September. After the Double Sun Festival, let's learn a thousand words. ”

Xiaowan held the book, and nodded seriously: ”I will definitely memorize it.”

The Uncle Biao brought out the stir-fried chestnuts for Xiaowan to eat. Seeing her holding onto the book, he smiled: ”Is there another scholar in our shop?”

Xiaowan thought about how the book was Ershan's, and asked: ”Big Brother Ershan, are you studying as well?”
