There were three girls from the village who were selected: Xiaoyu, Li Xiangxiu, and Zhaodi, the daughter of the Monkey family.

Fan Si-mei had expected to be rejected, and Fan Da-ma was still a little worried. But Fan Si-mei was overjoyed.

It is said that if one doesn't learn, the master will hit them. This isn't allowed, and that isn't allowed. Those female masters all have stern faces, looking even scarier than their own mothers.

She wouldn't go anyway, she wasn't losing out, and besides she got herself some new clothes.

Fan Sanmei discussed it with her family and decided to go work at the shops in the county. She also straightforwardly stated her purpose.

Fan Da-ma saw that she spoke with conviction, and as she also believed in her daughter's beauty, knowing that few men wouldn't be attracted to it, she let her go.

The monkey drove a carriage, sending the little girl and Lady Tian Guihua to the academy in the county, Fan Sanmei thick-skinnedly squeezed onto the carriage.

Fan Sanmei was still somewhat restrained in front of Tian Guihua, she didn't take the initiative to provoke trouble, and Tian Guihua was too lazy to be on the same level as her.

The three little girls were also experiencing their first time away from their parents and seemed listless on the road.

People also wanted to give gifts, but there was only one carriage, and it couldn't fit that many people. After all, not everyone is as thick-skinned as Fan Sanmei.

Fu Jiujiu watched the young girls droop, listlessly. They were all older than him; the youngest was ten years old. Usually, they stayed home doing chores or looked after their younger siblings, leaving no time for fun at all.

“Grandma Fu, I heard the female teachers at the academy are fierce and will hit people?” Little Jade asked softly. She was one of the girls who was most pampered at home because she was the youngest, even though she also had to help with chores, she didn't have to take care of her younger brothers and sisters.

After all, sometimes when younger siblings cry and make a fuss, adults still blame the older sister.

Tian Guihua smiled, "Oh, Grandma Fu probably doesn't know that. But if you study hard, the teacher shouldn't beat or scold you."

Li Xiangxiu nodded. "Anyway, even if you beat and scold me, it's fine. If I learn some skills, I won't go home. My parents beat me every day anyway."

Zhaodi didn't dare to speak, after all, her father was the one driving outside. If she talked too much, she would still get a beating when she went back.

Actually, all the girls in the village envied Fu Jiujiu. She didn't have to work, she didn't get beaten or scolded, and she was pampered by her parents and siblings. Even the boys in the village liked to play with her.

Li Xiangxiu looked at Fu Jiujiao, "Grandma Fu, your niece definitely won't be scolded by her husband. She's so smart, she'll surely learn it quickly, and besides, the county magistrate's wife is backing her up."

Then, Guihua Tian smiled. "This child is the oldest of the three and a bit more cunning. 'It's not good to say this, sir treats everyone equally. If we don't learn well, then Ju-ju will get punished just like us.'"

Although she didn't want to, she had to say it that way to avoid the impression that her pet, JJ, had left through the back door.

A few little girls didn't want to speak at first, but as they chatted, they couldn't stop talking. They started dreaming about how they would spend the money they would earn after learning their skills.

Fan San Mei thought they were too naive.

What skills should women learn? It's more important to dress up nicely and find a good husband.

"Aunt, I'll send you and your sister off first." The monkey didn't forget who the boss was and who paid the money.

Tian Guihua refused, "Let's send the children first."

Indeed, children are more important. Besides, our large house is truly quite big; even a country bumpkin would be envious.

Tian Guihua always remembered not to show off her wealth and kept a low profile.

Why didn't she buy a few servants to help out, when her family could easily afford it?

Now, everyone is well. Once someone's life surpasses the level of others too much, it's easy to cause envy.

"Then send me off first, Taoci Water Ink Shop." Fan Sanmei said without being polite.

"Three Beauties, I'm truly sorry. I haven't been to the city many times myself, and I only know the way to the academy. Perhaps you should go down there yourself?"

It's not that he doesn't pity her, but rather he knows that someone like Fan Sanmei is trouble and it's best to stay away.

Monkeys are called monkeys because they are quick-witted and clever.

"It's fine, I remember the way."

The monkey dared not make the decision, after all, his work did not include this. "Auntie, what do you think..."

"Then I'll send her over first."

Fan Sanmei smiled, but didn't even say thank you.

"Sanmei, your family has struck it rich? You go shopping for rouge and powder every day?"

Fan Sanmei smiled. She didn't want to say where she went to work for others, "A woman should dress herself up well, that's also for the future."

"Monkey Brother, I think your sister-in-law Zhao Di looks pretty good. You should spend some time helping her dress up better."

The monkey smiled, "She's still young, let her learn a few things first."

When is it ever inappropriate to dress up?

At this time, some people teach skills without charging money, which is rare.

After Fan San Mei got off the carriage, the monkey sent the three little girls to school.

Tian Guihua also got out of the car. She didn't intend to let the monkey deliver it, and the two of them strolled back home.

"No, no, Auntie. Someone like San Mei would be embarrassed to do that. How could you possibly let yourself ride in your own carriage?"

Fujujijiu understood what her mother meant, "Monkey Brother, I want to go for a stroll."

"Oh, I see. Then you guys play."

The monkey hurriedly sent the three little girls inside, finding their place to stay. After all, his own daughters were in there as well, and the other two were just along for the ride.

Dian Guihua bowed her head to look at the little girl, “Jiujiu, if you’re tired, tell Mama, and Mama will carry you.”

"I'm not tired, Mother. Chirp has grown up and doesn't need to be held or carried anymore."

Tian Guihua was very pleased. A three-year-old child, many need to be held by their parents. Her own daughter, after more than a year old, rarely allowed to be held.

This must be the blessing from my past life.

There were a lot of people at the entrance of the academy, coming and going. Fu Jiujiu didn't want to join the crowd and see Qin Shuangyue at this time. Anyway, she would be living in the county for a long time, so she could see her anytime.

Tian Guihua led the little团子 around, taking their time. It wasn't a rush for them; strolling together was leisurely.

"Girl, what are we eating?"

There are many vendors at the entrance of the school. They probably came here because they know there will be a lot of children today.

However, many people don't have much business. But that’s not necessarily the case with boys’ academies.

After all, some families aren't even willing to spend fifty cash coins, so would they give their daughters more pocket money to buy this and that?

Fujujiao was standing there, she was a little hungry, just thinking about what to eat, when a plump girl walked towards her, followed by an old woman.

"Grandma, grandma, I want to eat this."

Here it comes.

The road was narrow, people were plump, and Fu Jiujiu got bumped.

The plump girl glanced back, but said nothing. The old woman behind her coldly snapped, "Move aside, don't block the way."

Before Fu Jujù could even speak, the person who bumped into her was already making excuses.

How could Tian Guihua allow her daughter to be bullied? She pulled the old woman over and tried to reason with her, but when their eyes met, the old woman just laughed.

More.
