Chapter 680 Comfortable

The bell tower sounded.

It's a new day again.

There was a busy noise in Kuanzhengfang early in the morning.

The adults went to work, and the children went to school.

The aroma of cooked food was already coming out of Qin Yao's kitchen. Boiled goat milk and added crushed tea foam to stir, then filtered through three layers of fine cotton cloth, it was a pot of steaming, non-smelly milk tea.

If you like sweet taste, you can add sugar, if you like the original flavor, you don't need to add anything, the taste is smooth and rich, Sanlang can drink two big bowls by himself.

If he wasn't afraid that he would be full, Yin Le would take away his milk bowl, and it is estimated that the child would have another bowl.

In comparison, Erlang and Si Niang were not very happy with this milk tea. They only drank half a bowl with their noses pinched when their mother told them to drink it.

Dalang didn't care, knowing that drinking this goat milk is good for the body, and he drank a full bowl every day.

After breakfast, the four children went back to their rooms to pack up their book boxes.

Today is the day to meet the teacher at Fan's private school. Last night was full of twists and turns, and the adults at home didn't sleep much. But now, for the sake of the children's schooling, they have to force themselves to get up from the bed.

Si Niang had nothing to do, so she followed her brothers to watch them pack up.

Fan's private school does not accept female students, and it seems that all the private schools in Kyoto do not like female students.

Liu Ji had previously inquired about all the schools near his home, and no school was willing to make concessions.

And the teacher has his reasons for not accepting female students - the whole school is full of men, wouldn't it be a mess of etiquette to have a little girl?

Even if we take a step back, there are many female teachers in the capital who are willing to give lectures at home. If you have the conditions, you can invite one to come to your home. There is no need to let your daughter come out to suffer.

Liu Ji was unhappy at the time, "Could it be that girls from ordinary families cannot afford female teachers and will not study?"

The teacher who looked easy to talk to smiled and said, "Of course you can study. Look, the female school next to the Imperial College only accepts girls."

Liu Ji paused for a moment, and then realized that he seemed to have missed something.

He thought that this capital was the same as Kaiyang County, with only male schools and free schools. Unexpectedly, they did not accept female students because male and female schools were separated in the capital.

However, the time was short, and Liu Ji had not had time to inquire about the situation at the female school.

After he sent the three boys in his family to the school, he would make a good plan for his daughter.

After all, the Fan family private school in Kuanzhengfang was close. It took less than a quarter of an hour to walk to the right of the alley after leaving the house.

On the way there, Liu Ji told him, "You three brothers, remember the way. I'll let your uncle Awang pick you up for the first two days, but you'll have to go back and forth by yourself in the future. Do you understand?"

The three brothers of Dalang nodded, looking forward to the days of going to and from school alone.

When the four of them went to school, Qin Yao was still lazing in bed. She wanted her parents to send the three children to school together, after all, it was the first day, so there could be a sense of ceremony.

But, she really couldn't get up.

But the point is that the four of them didn't wake her up!

When Qin Yao got up, the yard was quiet.

Si Niang was taken out by Yin Le to buy vegetables, and Awang was busy watering the land in the backyard.

Qin Yao opened the door and looked at the sky above her head. The sun was already high in the sky, about 10:30 in the morning.

She stood there for a minute, her soul completely returned to her body, washed up and went to the kitchen, found half a pot of warm goat milk, a plate of pancakes on the stove, scooped a spoonful of sauce, sat at the open island, ate breakfast slowly with a mouthful of pancake and a mouthful of milk.

The blue sky, white clouds, quiet courtyard, and the sound of people faintly heard in the distance were quite pleasant.

Recalling what happened last night, Qin Yao felt like she had a dream.

Early this morning, Wusheng was sent to the Jingzhao Yin Yamen by the owner of the shop.

When the person was sent, the black cavalry of the prince's mansion and the guards of the princess were there.

A thief, but attracted these two big men to listen to the trial together, the people of the capital couldn't help but be curious.

What happened afterwards, the neighbors of Kuanzhengfang who had sent the person back did not stay in the Yamen to listen to the trial, and didn't know.

But Qin Yao was not worried at all that she would not be able to eat the follow-up of this big melon. There is no secret under the foot of the imperial city, let the bullets fly for a while.

After she finished her breakfast slowly, her old father Liu Ji, who had sent the children to school, came back.

When he got home, he didn't go in first, but looked at the door of the Qi family next door, muttering softly, "It's already this time, and the Qi Yushi hasn't left the court yet. It seems that it's really lively now."

He ran to the fruit stall at the entrance of the alley and chose a bag of fruit. He asked about some things before entering the house.

"My wife, I'm back! Where are you?" Liu Ji shouted when he entered the door.

Qin Yao helplessly held her forehead and answered, "In the kitchen!"

Liu Ji smiled and ran over excitedly with the fruits he bought. When he saw her, he immediately took credit.

"The enrollment of Dalang, Erlang and Sanlang has been arranged. The teacher asked them to stay in the school today to get familiar with the school. The formal class will start tomorrow. Just ask Awang to pick them up in the evening."

He found a copper basin, poured the fruits he bought into it, scooped water to wash the fruits, put them in a fruit plate, and placed it on the island in front of Qin Yao. He shouted to the vegetable garden in the backyard:

"Awang, come quickly! The master invites you to eat fruit!"

He specially selected a few large ones, peeled them, took out a knife to cut them into pieces, put them in a small bowl, put a toothpick on it and handed it to Qin Yao, "I've tasted the loquats that were just picked this morning, they are very sweet."

Qin Yao ate two pieces for fun and stopped eating. She wanted to eat watermelon, but unfortunately there was none at the moment.

"Awang, let's plant some watermelons in our yard next year." Qin Yao said to Awang who was washing his hands in front of the water tank.

Awang nodded, washed his hands and walked in to grab a handful of loquats, one at a time, and finished the handful in his hand in less than two minutes.

He reached out to grab another handful and finished it quickly.

Liu Ji quickly stretched out his hand to block the fruit plate, "I didn't ask you to chew peonies like this, you should taste the fruit slowly and in small bites, understand?"

Awang stared at him, can you be more generous!

Liu Ji: "."

"Hey, forget it, I'm convinced by you." To show that he was not stingy, Liu Ji directly grabbed a handful of silver and sent him away.

He took out a small abacus, "Madam, the tuition fee for Fan's private school is five taels of silver per person per year, plus one tael of silver for food expenses, and two sets of student robes per year for eight cents of silver. The total for our three boys is 20 taels and 4 cents of silver per year."

"Yes, that's 20 taels and 4 cents!" Liu Ji calculated it again and said with certainty.

Qin Yao nodded, "Go and get the money from Awang. I'll give him the money box. Awang will be responsible for all the expenses of the family in the future."

Liu Ji suppressed his envy and jealousy towards Awang and nodded, "Okay."

After talking about the children's school, Liu Ji said excitedly, "My dear, do you know that I went to Fan's private school today? Wow, those students all have a magical book box from our family!"

Qin Yao raised her eyebrows, "Really?"

"Of course!" Liu Ji was proud when he talked about this, "Those guys are secretly competing to see whose book box is the most special."

Of course, they can't compare with his flashy book box. (End of this chapter)
