Qu Jingxi is already six years old, Gu Jingyun directly throws her into the elementary class he leads, while Qu Weizhen studies at home with Li Baolu.

Unlike her younger brother who only read the primer, Qu Weizhen had a lot to learn, and because she was very sensitive to numbers, Li Baolu taught her from the simplest spells.

Qu Weizhen studied very seriously, and she could finish almost the homework assigned by Li Baolu very quickly. At this time, she would go to watch the embroidery of hearts and greens, or go to the kitchen to watch the cook cook.

Li Baolu came to understand when she saw it occasionally, and called people to her side and said, "I know you want to learn these skills, because compared with reading, writing and numeracy, these two skills are real and easier to make a living."

She took people to the yard, took out a large bowl and put it beside a large water tank, and took out two bamboo tubes, one large and one small, and put them on the sea bowl and the water tank respectively, saying: "Now you are like a Weiyu, this bamboo tube is the process and difficulty of your learning. The bamboo tube leading to the water tank is very small and very difficult. It may take several times the time to go to the sea bowl, but once it reaches the water tank, all the water belongs to it. Yours, the entire water tank is your world. On the contrary, it is very simple for you to go to the sea bowl through this big bamboo tube, and you can quickly obtain the water for survival, but you only have the space of this sea bowl in your life. .”

"Weizhen, this water tank is the knowledge I want you to learn, and the sea bowl is the craft you want to learn deep down in your heart." Li Baolu poured the water from the sea bowl into the water tank, "Look, put the sea bowl The water in the sea bowl is poured into the water tank, and there is more water in the water tank, but it is not full. This means that after you reach the water tank, you can accommodate more water in the sea bowl, and you can learn more things, because the water tank This space can accommodate a lot. But the sea bowl is different, it is already full, when you reach the sea bowl and try to turn the water in the tank upside down, either the water will overflow, or you will come out of the bowl and fall to the ground. "

If she focuses on cooking or embroidery, her highest achievement in the future will be to become a royal chef or a generation of embroidery masters.

Then, it takes several months or even longer for a piece of work to cost thousands of taels of silver, or stay in one place as a cook?

Li Baolu hopes that her path will be wider and her journey will be longer.

These skills can be learned, but they are not the main ones.

Qu Weizhen didn't understand it very well, but she knew that the teacher was doing it for her own good, so she nodded after thinking for a while and said, "Teacher, I will listen to you from now on."

"You don't have to listen to me," Li Baolu said with a smile, "If you can think for yourself, if you can convince me, I will agree with you."

"You can't chew too much. Don't be in a hurry with your studies. You are under nine years old. You have plenty of time. Don't be in a hurry."

Qu Weizhen's eyes turned red, and she whispered: "But the sisters in our village got married at the age of thirteen..." So how can we not be in a hurry?

How many years does she have?

Li Baolu frowned slightly, "Girls should wait until later to get married. Marrying too early is not good for your health, and it will be a difficult time during childbirth. Don't worry, teacher and mother, with me, your parents will not promise you out too early. "

Li Baolu was not worried about this at all, Xiaobao was also their disciple, and the pair of sons and slaves would definitely listen to them.

However, thinking of the three girls who were still in Qujia Village, Li Baolu pointedly said to her: "Weizhen, your parents favor sons over girls. I can't say they are wrong in this day and age, but your Qujia Village treats girls like you There are too many differences in understanding. Their thoughts are also passed down from generation to generation, and it may be difficult to change, but as long as you persevere in beating and passing on, even if you can’t change their thoughts, you can make them doubt. I think your sister’s Life might be easier for the girls in your village."

Don't they think girls are losers? Then tell them that girls can make money to support their families if they are well-raised outside.

Don't they think it's only natural for parents to drown their daughters? Then tell them it's against the law and against heaven.

A daughter can also be held in the palm of the parents' hands. They will be angry once, and they will not believe it twice, but what about a hundred or even a thousand times three times?

Since the lies can come true if they tell them too much, why can't their words that are not lies go deep into their hearts and become their new cognition?

After Li Baolu taught Qu Weizhen new skills, she happily went to chat with her master.

She felt that Master's whereabouts in the past two days were a bit strange.

Bai Yitang was sitting cross-legged on the futon and was carving something. When he saw his apprentice jumping up without even saying hello, he subconsciously put away the statue in his hand. Fortunately, at the critical moment, he held back and continued to carve as if nothing had happened.

Li Baolu looked up curiously, "Master, is this a puppet for Niuniu?"

Bai Yitang nodded with a serious face.

Li Baolu sighed, "Master, you are good at swordsmanship, the clothes are really thin when you look at them for a moment, much better than those wooden horses I gave me when I was young."

Every year on Li Baolu and Gu Jingyun's birthday, Bai Yitang didn't have anything to give, so he carved various things for them, including wooden knives, wooden swords, wooden horses, wooden spinning tops, etc.

In the past, Li Baolu felt that the master was very careful, but now compared with the wood carvings, the ones he gave them before were simply shoddy.

Li Baolu said jealously: "Master, I am your apprentice, dear!"

She stared at the woodcarving with sharp eyes, pouted and said, "You are too kind to Niuniu, but this woodcarving looks familiar."

Bai Yitang pushed her head away, waved his hand impatiently and said, "How old are you, how old is Niuniu? You don't feel ashamed to panic if you are jealous with her, go away."

Li Baolu touched it and glared, "Master, tell me honestly what you have been doing and what you want to do these two days? I don't believe that you will honestly stay at home carving wood carvings all day except to pick up Niu Niu for breakfast. .”

You must know that since she took over as the head of the sect, Bai Yitang has been training her to death no matter if he is rushing or resting in the middle of the journey.

But after returning to the capital for three days, her master didn't come up with any bad tricks, which is simply too abnormal.

There is a monster in the abnormality, even if his master is old and patient, it is impossible to hang around a child all day, so there must be something tricky in it!

Li Baolu stared at Bai Yitang closely, "Master, tell me honestly, do you want to kidnap Niuniu to do something bad?"

"Let me tell you, Niu Niu is a child my uncle and aunt got with great difficulty. Don't look at her alive and kicking now, she is not as good as an ordinary child, so you are not allowed to fool around with her..."

It's so noisy!

Bai Yitang shooed people out in disgust, "Shut up, you are almost catching up with that old monk Jie Sha, if you keep talking about it, I will send you to be company with Jie Sha."

Li Baolu immediately shut up.

"Your mother-in-law is going to come home for dinner tonight, so hurry up and watch in the kitchen, don't bother me here."

Li Baolu couldn't help but asked again: "How did you know that my mother-in-law was coming for dinner? Why didn't I know?"

"It was agreed at the Qin residence last night. She is worried that you have to come and take a look," Bai Yitang waved his hands impatiently, "Go, go, I shouldn't be soft-hearted and accept a female apprentice back then, I should accept a female apprentice." male apprentice."

"And then spend the rest of your life plowing and fishing in Qiongzhou to be the head of the sect?" Seeing Bai Yitang raised his palm, Li Baolu ran away in a hurry, not daring to provoke him again.

Bai Yitang breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the wood carving covered by his sleeve, and frowned in distress.

If the engraving is too similar, it seems difficult to explain. The steps are too big, I don’t know if it will scare people.

This wood carving was really given to Niu Niu, Bai Yitang did not lie, but Qin Wenyin wanted to hand it over.

In the evening, Qin Wenyin came here alone in the Qin family's carriage. The family of four and three apprentices had dinner together, and Qin Wenyin took a walk in the backyard with her son and daughter-in-law to digest food.

Gu Jingyun and the others originally wanted to go to the Qin Mansion for dinner tonight, but because Qin Wenyin was coming over here, they decided to eat at home temporarily.

Gu Jingyun vaguely felt that his mother would come because of Bai Yitang, and he didn't want to interfere, so he just quietly accompanied her.

But Qin Wenyin took the initiative to mention it, took the hands of the two children and said with a gratified smile: "You have always been sensible, filial and obedient, mother has nothing to worry about, just one thing, don't put too much pressure on yourself, we know you are all Good boy."

Gu Jingyun \u0026 Li Baolu: ...

Li Baolu was at a loss, why did her mother-in-law think of feeding them chicken soup for the soul?

Gu Jingyun glanced at Bai Yitang who was following behind with his hands behind his back. What reason did the old master use to lure people here?

Gu Jingyun lowered his head, paused and said, "Don't worry, mother, Baolu and I will be fine, and you will be fine too."

The smile on Qin Wenyin's face became wider, and she patted the hands of the two of them. After looking up at the moon, he said: "It's getting late, mother is going back first."

"Mother, you can stay here at night, the room has been reserved for you."

Qin Wenyin shook her head, "Niuniu's child recognizes someone at night, so I have to tell her mother a story. If I don't go back, she will keep asking, anyway, it's not far away."

Li Baolu turned around and said, "Then I'll take you back."

Gu Jingyun held her back, and Li Baolu looked up at him suspiciously.

"Let me deliver it." Bai Yitang glanced at Gu Jingyun, turned around and said to Qin Wenyin, "I just want to go shopping on the street."

Qin Wenyin hesitated, "Is it too much trouble for Mr. Bai? Actually, I have a coachman, and it's in the inner city..."

"Even in the imperial city, there may be danger. Does your coachman know kung fu?"

Qin Wenyin was silent.

"Let's go. I'll take you there and I'll be back soon. I'll be back in a quarter of an hour."

Also, the carriage had to make a detour, and Bai Yitang flew back in a straight line, which saved time and effort, and would not cause traffic jams.

Qin Wenyin pursed her lips and smiled, nodding in agreement.

Bai Yitang sent Qin Wenyin to the car, and the two of them sat together in the car, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little strange.

Qin Wenyin realized belatedly that this was the first time they stayed alone in the carriage.

In the past, when they went north, Bai Yitang would sit on the shaft of the car and drive the car, while Qin Wenyin and Niu Niu would sit in the car, or all three of them would sit on the shaft of the car. This was the first time that the two of them stayed in such a small confined space.

Qin Wenyin felt a little uncomfortable being watched by Bai Yitang.

Bai Yitang took out a box from his sleeve and handed it to her.

Qin Wenyin took it in a daze, "What is this?"

"Give it to Niuniu, let her sleep with her at night, so that she won't be afraid."

Niu Niu is a small person, and she will not sleep well at night if she is frightened by a little bit, and she always cries at night.

Qin Wenyin's eyes brightened slightly when she heard the words, "What good thing is it? Can I have a look?"

Seeing Bai Yitang nodding, she opened it wide, and was a little surprised when she saw a wood carving inside. She took it in her hand, and when she saw the wood carving clearly through the lights in the car, her face turned bright red.

Bai Yitang's mellow laughter rang in his ear, "Do you like it?"

Qin Wenyin's face turned even redder, almost bleeding.
