Li Baolu opened the curtain and came out, smiled and said, "I fell in love with your third daughter, she is very talented in arithmetic, has an open mind, and has a strong temperament. I like her very much, and I want to accept her as an apprentice, but I don't know about you. Would you like to?"

  Father Qu immediately said, "It's a blessing for the wife to see her. You take her to be a girl, why would you use her as a disciple?"

  Li Baolu smiled faintly and said lightly: "Girl I have what I have, so I don't need to buy another one. I want her because I like her, I want to teach her to be a person, teach her knowledge, and let her stand in the world."

   Aware that Li Baolu was unhappy, Father Qu smiled and did not dare to speak.

   "Since you all agreed, then our husband and wife will drink their cup of tea today and take them away when we pass by again."

   "Yes, yes." Father Qu hurriedly turned around to prepare things for his apprenticeship. Patriarch Qu glanced at Li Baolu and obediently went to find Pandi and let her kneel with her brother.

  Pan Di kneeled together with her younger brother in a trance, and after a while, she raised her head excitedly and looked at Li Baolu who was sitting in front of her.

   She gave her a sincere kowtow, and then respectfully raised the teacup over her head to her.

  Xiaobao is also excited. He likes to read. He was a little sad when he wanted to leave home alone, but now he has the third sister with him.

Li Baolu and Gu Jingyun drank their tea and gave them two sets of the Four Treasures of the Study Room, saying, "You guys use this set to practice calligraphy for now, and we'll come to pick you up when we're done. You can also say goodbye to your parents and relatives."

   The two bowed in response.

   Li Baolu then greeted the people of the Qu clan to eat together. She smiled at the Qu clan leader: "These two disciples of my family are both young, and I would like to ask the clan leader to take care of them in the future."

   Patriarch Qu glanced at Gu Jingyun, and seeing that his face was flat, he knew that the little lady in front of him could make the decisions.

  Father Qu was still in a trance. In just a short while, not only his son, but his daughter also became a teacher.

   But the girl is going to get married, what's the use of recognizing the words?

   He secretly glanced at Li Baolu, but did not dare to show his thoughts.

   But Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu are both human beings, they could tell what he was thinking at a glance, but they ignored it.

Mother Qu was standing at the door of the wing with her other three daughters. At this moment, Pan Di's eyes were a little gloomy. Li Baolu couldn't help but swept her gaze. Before leaving, he said to Qu's father and Qu's mother: "I know that most people in the world prefer sons to daughters. They feel that their daughters will be married sooner or later, like water being poured out, so they feel that daughters are not their own. But no matter their children, they are all parents. It is made of essence and blood, and it is also born from the mother's pregnancy in ten months. In terms of blood, there is no difference between a daughter and a son. In me, men and women are the same. My husband can teach Xiaobao, and I can also teach Pandi. I Husband values ​​Xiaobao, and I don't value Pandi any less than he does, we received these two children together, and we must take them away together."

Qu's father and Qu's mother were ignorant, but Patriarch Qu's expression changed. He heard what Li Baolu meant. He hurriedly passed Father Qu and bowed to Li Baolu: "Madam, don't worry, I will take good care of Pandi and Li Baolu when I am here. Baby's."

Seeing someone who understood, Li Baolu breathed a sigh of relief, beckoned Xiaobao and Pandi to him, touched their heads and said, "Although we can teach you, people still have to rely on themselves. Work **** your own."

"Yes."

  Li Baolu then supported Gu Jingyun's hand and climbed onto the carriage. Gu Jingyun's eyes swept over Qu Mu, then looked at Patriarch Qu and said, "There is Patriarch Lao Qu."

   Patriarch Qu's high-hanging heart just fell, and he led the people of Qujia Village to respectfully watch the carriage away, and his face sank when he turned to face Qu's father and Qu's mother.

   He had already heard Li Baolu's implication, and he was afraid that Gu Jingyun would accept Xiaobao as his apprentice or because of Pandi.

She first suggested that the children are the blood of their parents, provoking Qufu Qu's mother's pity for her daughter, and hinted that Pandi would be filial and support them like Xiaobao in the future, and then she warned them that if she could not take Pan away If something happened to Di or Pandi, they would not accept Xiaobao as their apprentice again.

Patriarch Qu didn't know what Qu's father and Qu's mother did to make Li Baolu so vigilant, but he knew that her warning was true. If Qu's father and Qu's mother really held Pandi for various reasons, they would not Receive Xiaobao.

Patriarch Qu called the couple to the main room, glanced at the five children behind them, and said earnestly: "Zhaodi and the four sisters are also your blood, you can't be too partial, at least you have to feed them and clothe them. , Your family has built brick houses, and life is much better than ordinary people..."

  Mother Qu disagreed. Half of their family's better life was due to diligence, and half of it was due to saving. It really made the four girls open their stomachs to eat, and no amount of food was enough for them. She also saved money for her son to marry a wife.

  Thinking of this, Qu Mu looked at Pandi coldly.

Pandi has also been accepted as an apprentice, which means that she will follow Li Baolu and the others after her new year at the latest. She managed to raise her so much that she can only work in the field now, and in two or three years, she will be able to get married and exchange dowry. It was about to be taken away.

  What is the use of a girl reading? After reading it, it's the age of marriage, isn't it cheaper for others?

   Now a girl outside can sell for five or six taels, five or six taels, which is almost enough for Xiaobao to marry a daughter-in-law in the future.

   Mother Qu's eyes flashed a strange light, and Patriarch Qu saw it when he raised his eyes. He almost immediately understood why Li Baolu had to warn him.

His face was as black as gray, and he said rudely: "Don't take my words as words, Mrs. Gu said it very clearly just now, if she can't take Pandi away or if something happens to Pandi, Xiaobao will not. Received."

   Mother Qu became anxious and called out, "My little treasure worships Mr. Gu, how can she be the master of a woman's family?"

Patriarch Qu sneered, "Fu Dao people? Do you think Mr. Gu's attitude towards Mrs. Gu is like a woman who can't be a master? Mr. Gu said that although he admired Xiaobao before, he didn't want to accept him as an apprentice, or it was because of his family. The lady wanted to accept Pandi before she was moved. Don't think of a way to push Pandi to stay or sell her. If she doesn't go, Xiaobao's future will also be cut off. Think about your son, Do you really want him to eat in the fields like us all his life?"

   Patriarch Qu didn't look at Mother Qu who was pale, turned his head and said to Father Qu, "You have a right idea, treat your two children well, and don't lose Zhao Di, it's your blood after all."

   Father Qu bowed his head in shame and replied "Yes".

   Qu Patriarch flicked his sleeves and left.

  The life of the Qu family in Qujia Village is considered good. There are only four families in the village who can afford to live in brick houses, and the Qu family is one of them.

   There are other families who prefer sons to daughters. It should be said that there is no family in the whole village that does not value sons over daughters, but there are still differences between the two.

  Other people have a bowl of porridge, and they will take out most of the rice grains to give to their sons, and give the small half to their daughters. They may drink some rice soup.

   But Qu’s father and Qu’s mother were not, most of the rice grains were given to his son, and the other half was split between their husband and wife, and a few daughters were afraid that they would be able to use some rice soup to pad their stomachs.

It is winter now, and there is not much work at home. Carrying water is heavy work. Most people don’t want their children to be burdened. In the morning and evening, men or women in the family go to carry water, but every day the Qu family recruits Di to line up to pick the water. water.

  The nobles lived in their house, and they used more water. Clan Chief Qu saw Zhao Di bending over and carrying half a bucket of water as he passed in front of him several times.

   So after hearing Li Baolu's warning today, he couldn't help but call the couple.

   In this era, the clan system is still prosperous, and the head of Qu Clan clearly warned that unless Qu’s father and Qu’s mother did not want to stay in the village, they would not dare to follow the yin and the yin, so the days of recruiting the four sisters were indeed better.

Although there is still a lot of work to do, the food is better than before. In addition, there are no more nobles passing by in the village. The four sisters live in a main room, no longer leaking wind and rain, and it is extremely warm at night. .

Pandi slept among the sisters and assured them in a low voice, "When I finish learning the craft and come back to teach you, so that you can support yourself, and teach our daughters later, they won't live as well as us. suffering."

  Li Baolu and the others had just left the village entrance. Yuan Shanting and others also led the horses out to say goodbye to the host.

   Seeing the Heihans in front of them clasping their fists to say goodbye, they returned the salute with a smile, until they rode their horses and gradually moved away from sight, Yuan Shanting and others got on the horses.

  Su Anjian couldn't help frowning, "Brother Yuan, they also set off today? The sky cleared up yesterday afternoon."

   "It's a good day today, everyone is in time for today, let's go, let's go, we can't be too far behind."

   Su Anjian hummed twice before jumping on the horse and following behind Yuan Shanting.

   Huilan heard the sound of hooves, and ran to Heihan's side and whispered, "Master, they are following."

   Heihan frowned slightly, and quickly said: "Go, let's divert."

  Yuan Shanting saw the direction they were leaving, and gave a soft "Huh", "Aren't they going to Runing?"

  Su Anjian restrained the horse and asked, "Do you want to continue following, or go to Runing as originally planned?"

  Yuan Shanting thought for a while and said, "Go to Runing."

   The group turned their horses around and headed towards Runing, and they caught up with the Gu family's carriage after a while.

  Yuan Shanting was a fast horse, while Gu Jingyun and the others drove at a constant speed, so naturally it was impossible for them to travel together.

Yuan Shanting and Su Anjian quickly disappeared from everyone's sight, Li Baolu lowered the curtains of the car, leaned on the quilt and said, "It's finally quiet, the air is really fresh after the rain, let's breathe more while we're still in the mountains. A few mouthfuls, or there will be a lot of dust in the city."

   "Then why don't you spend the night in the wild tonight, you can breathe as much as you like, or what will you do if you lose?"

   "No, it's both wind and rain, I'm afraid of cold."

   "I thought you were not afraid to take two more breaths from this mountain."

   "Oh, I'm a monster in the mountains. If I breathe the spiritual energy, I can be protected from wind and rain, and I can't penetrate the sword."

   "It turns out that I married a goblin." Gu Jingyun glanced at her up and down, and concluded, "This goblin isn't pretty enough, is it because of this that she was abandoned by the clan?"

   "Yes, yes, you look so good-looking, are you also a fairy?"

   Erlin listened to the chat content with a confused expression, and the reins in his hands were almost thrown out. Uncle, madam, you are timid, don't scare me.
