C32 (2/2)

”Look, our Mountain is already so old.” She didn't know what she would do if anything really happened between her son and the widow, so whatever she said, she wanted to marry Tao Bailing back to her family, even if she had to give him some betrothal gifts, it was fine. After her son returned, other than the original twenty acres of land, they had bought ten acres of good land, the family was really quite good, and her son was currently a government official, so he had two taels of silver a month, plus some income from the outside, their family wouldn't be able to live a better life. If their son wasn't old enough, and there was a widow at home, so they wouldn't have no other choice.

Alright, there was one more thing, and that was that they had an engagement with the Tao family. Although there was an agreement to stay for the next generation, when the Lu family's parents saw that their son was actually interested in a widow, they naturally didn't want to, so they brought up Tao Yu Su's matter.

Originally, they were all prepared to take a higher betrothal gift, not to marry a girl, but they didn't expect that the good silly girl of the Tao family would be willing to marry into their family. Although they didn't think much of the silly girl before, but the girl of the Tao family was very famous, and their son couldn't object to anything.

In addition, the ladies of the Tao family had not done anything. Although they would not be raised like everyone else, at least they would be better off than the village girls. They wouldn't have to worry about their son looking down on them.

”No, my daughter is not too old yet.” In the end, the members of the Lu family could only leave. However, they felt that it didn't matter if they couldn't get married, as they could have more contact between them and at least stop their son from thinking about the widow.

That was why she was in such a hurry to marry her into their family. It seemed that she had to think of a way to settle this matter, but after seeing her parents' appearance, she knew that even though these stupid and sweet parents cared about her a lot, they did not understand many things. Thus, there were many things that could only be solved by her.

”Dad, our family has twenty silver. Take a portion out to buy an acre of land and let us study.” If it wasn't for the fact that she only had a son in the big house and didn't send him to school, she would have already started a ruckus. Fortunately, her little brother was still young, only five years old, and they had to start studying here at the age of seven, but she was not satisfied with this result.

”Alright.” Every child in the Tao family would be sent to study when they reach the age of seven, and if not for the fact that the family would be separated by themselves, in another two years' time, their son would also be sent to the private sector. Regarding the matter that his daughter wanted to send to him earlier, Tao Er didn't feel that it was wrong, he felt that two years of studying would be good, maybe he would even be considered someone who could read books, and when the time came for the Elementary Scholars to come out, their family would not have to pay taxes.

”Isn't it too early?” It wasn't that she didn't agree, but that she lived in a private house as soon as she went to school. She was very fond of her children, so she naturally felt reluctant to part with them.

”It's not small anymore. In the future, the older you become, the fewer chances you will get to become an Elementary Scholar. You might as well hurry up and take it. This way, you will have more chances of success.” After all, this was ancient times, so no matter how much she looked down on these ancient people, she would still follow the ancient rules. If her little brother had a name, then even if she wanted to do something, she would have someone to rely on.

She really did think too much, wanting to climb up to a higher level was not an easy thing to do. Other people also have higher positions than you, but they have accumulated generations of people, otherwise how could there be an aristocratic family that was getting better and better.

The reason why they were talking about this matter was because of the several subjects taught in the court. If you were to talk about writing articles like Tao Yushu's brother, he might not be able to do it, but in terms of talent in the field of numbers, if it weren't for this subject, he wouldn't have been able to go back home and plant his land. But now it was different, now that the Tao family had done it, so Uncle Tao came back to ask if he wanted to study again and prepare to take the exam this year.

”Yes, why not?” Tao Yu Su recalled that the original owner was sad at the time, so she didn't know about this. However, her uncle had also come back. At that time, Big Brother Tao's mood rose up for a while and then improved again.
