"Ao, ao, that's great, I can study too."

Zhou Xianren, who was already 10 years old, was very excited and rushed out screaming, "I can eat well and dress well like my uncle, so I don't have to work!"

Annie staggered and almost fell to the ground.

Looking at Zhou Xianren's cheerful back, Annie's mouth twitched: Naughty child!

However, Zhou Xianren's "childish words" reminded Annie of one thing.

She glanced at Zhou Yaozu's two sons Zhou Xiande and Zhou Xiancheng indifferently. The two and a half-year-old boys shuddered and felt a bad premonition in their hearts.

"My husband, you really don't study anymore?"

Liu was full of thoughts and had no intention of paying attention to the two children. As soon as she returned to the room, she asked anxiously.

"It's not that I don't study, I just don't go to the academy." Annie corrected it. She received all the memories of Zhou Yaozu, so she was very clear. With Zhou Yaozu's current situation, there is no big difference between going to the academy and not going to the academy.

Instead of wasting money in a college, it is better to study at home.

If you encounter any academic problems, you can go to the official school to ask for advice.

Yes, there are official schools in Qi County, and if you have Shangguan schools, you can not only waive tuition fees, but also provide subsidies for pens, inks, papers and inkstones.

However, the faculty of the official school is obviously not as good as that of Qingyun Academy. Therefore, students who want to go further into the imperial examination will find ways to go to Qingyun Academy as long as their family conditions allow.

"How can I not go to the academy?"

However, Liu was not as optimistic as Annie. She felt that Zhou Yaozu could not pass the imperial examination even if he studied in the academy. If he went home, wouldn’t he have no hope?!

"My husband, if you are worried about money, I will go back to my parents' home to think of a solution."

Liu grabbed Annie's hand, and even had a hint of pleading in her tone.

Anne was so close to her "wife", she was very uncomfortable.

She has not had close contact with homosexuals who are not related by blood, but those people are more of their best friends and elders than her legitimate wife.

Although Anne has married in the 60s world, she is not a pure girl who really knows nothing.

However, I don’t know how the system was set up. Once she left that mission world, she was pulled away from all her memories and feelings.

She only remembers that she had married in the 60s world, but she had no impression of her specific marriage life and her past with Feng Che.

Now, even if someone presents that scene to her, she will just think that she has watched a TV series. The only thing that touches her is that the heroine in the play looks very similar to her.

Anne can accept dressing as a married person, but she really can't adapt to dressing as a opposite sex and being a couple with a same sex.

His body was a little stiff. Anne used some strength to break his hand away from Liu's hand, and then said, "Don't bother my father-in-law anymore. Over the years, my father-in-law has helped us a lot. I am also a man, and I can't always rely on my parents and elders."

Annie was not afraid that she would reveal flaws when she said this, because the original owner Zhou Yaozu was a very good talker.

Even in front of Liu, he never said bad things about anyone in the family. He would not have to privately tell his wife that his brother is stupid like some people.

Sometimes when Liu said a few gossips from his sisters-in-law, Zhou Yaozu would tell her righteously: Don’t do this, you need a harmonious family!

No matter what wrong he did, Zhou Yaozu could speak up loudly and with confidence.

There are many things, but everyone actually understands what the situation is, such as Zhou Yaozu occasionally goes to brothels.

But if this kind of thing goes around Zhou Yaozu, it becomes a helpless act of socializing with classmates - everyone has gone, if he doesn't go, wouldn't it be too unsociable? He will be excluded from the future!

Although he is very bad at being a person and doing things, he has a good mouth. This is also one of the reasons why the Zhou family is willing to support him for more than ten years.

So, at this moment, Annie was so considerate and sensible that Liu didn't find it strange at all.

She still didn't give up and continued, "I still have some money in my hand. I originally kept it for Xiande to marry a wife. He is only thirteen years old now and it will take several years to use it. Otherwise, I will give you the training first?"

Annie shook her head and said firmly, "I won't go to the academy anymore. I'll go to the city to talk to the mountain captain in the afternoon."

Liu advised him for a long time, and said he had been dry. Seeing that Annie just kept silent, she finally gave up.

"My husband, I, I want to go back to my parents' home."

After saying that, Liu went to pack his luggage without waiting for Annie to make a statement.

Annie did not stop her and watched Liu pack up a small bag without taking a child, leaving the Zhou family.

Liu's reaction would be like this, and Annie had guessed it long ago.

The Liu family is a well-known wealthy family in Qi County. There are more than a dozen shops under their name. It cannot be said that the richest man in Qi County is also among the top three among merchants.

The Liu family is rich, but has no social status.

Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, no matter how rich they are, they cannot wear silk openly.

Therefore, the Liu family wanted to change their background, but unfortunately their son was not a good source of study, so Mr. Liu took his mind to his daughter.

Mr. Liu has two daughters in total, and the eldest daughter is Liu.

At that time, the Liu family had just turned twelve, and a thirteen-year-old scholar appeared in the county.

Mr. Liu felt that this poor boy from the mountain village had potential, so he wanted to marry his daughter to Zhou Yaozu.

Mr. Liu is smart, and Zhou Jingxian is not a fool.

He was only thirteen years old and was only 16 years old. If he passed the imperial examination again in three years, he would be only 16 years old.

A sixteen-year-old juren is extremely rare in looking at the entire provincial government.

At that time, I wonder how many good families were scrambling to marry his Yaozu. Even if they were lucky, they could marry an official lady.

There is no need to make a marriage early.

Mr. Liu asked someone to send a message to the Zhou family quietly, but there was no reply. Mr. Liu knew that the Zhou family was waiting for a price. In addition to disappointment, he also left the matter behind.

Three years later, Zhou Yaozu failed in the provincial examination.

Some people outside began to say that he was "harmed by Zhongyong". The Zhou family really had no money and could not even get the Shu Xiu for the next year.

To make matters worse, Zhou Jing was stimulated first and fell ill again. The family didn't even have money to get medicine.

Mr. Liu came up at the right time, helped find a doctor, and gave medicine generously, which really made the Zhou family very grateful.

After Zhou Jing recovered from illness, he asked the matchmaker to go to the Liu family to ask for a marriage.

Of course, Zhou Jingxian did not compensate his son for his marriage because of the Liu family's favor, but Zhou Yaozu's failure this time and poured a pot of cold water on him.

Let him see the reality clearly - the winning of the exam is definitely not as easy as he imagined.

If you miss this time, you may miss it next time.

But the Zhou family really has no money and cannot afford Zhou Yaozu at all.

It would be different if you marry the daughter of the Liu family. The Liu family agreed to dowry a house in the county town of Liu, and also promised to fund Zhou Yaozu fifty taels of silver every year for study.

When taking the exam, I will also help prepare for the money.

It was precisely with the help of the Liu family that Zhou Yaozu continued to study in the academy and participated in the provincial examination again and again.

However, this situation did not last long.

After all, the money from the Liu family was not blown by the strong wind, so there is no reason to give it to a son-in-law for nothing.

Especially the second daughter of the Liu family also married a scholar. After the scholar passed this year's college entrance examination and became a scholar, the Liu family was even more reluctant to fill the bottomless pit of the Zhou family.

This time, Zhou Yaozu took the exam, and the Liu family did not pay as much money as before. Liu went there several times in a row, and then barely asked for twenty taels of silver back.

But it was still not enough, so Zhou Jingxian had no choice but to borrow twelve taels of silver from his tribe members.

The Liu family is willing to fund Zhou Yaozu, and the Liu family is willing to marry, but they are attracted by Zhou Yaozu, a stock that is a high-performing stock and wants to invest in advance.

As a result, more than ten years have passed, and Zhou Yaozu, a fake high-performance stock, almost fell into his hands. Whether it is the Liu family or the Liu family, it is conceivable that his disappointment is.

Annie even suspected that Liu's trip home this time was most likely to discuss the separation with her parents.

Liu's lifelong wish is to become an official wife. Seeing that the hope is shattered, she will never be willing to do so.

Let her go, it just so happened that Anne didn't know how to face her.

In the afternoon, Annie went to the academy to go to school and said goodbye to several gentlemen.

"You still have some knowledge, but it's just a little bit short of time. I have nothing to teach you anymore. It's okay if you go back and stay at home for a few days."

The gentleman is quite sorry for Zhou Yaozu. He is obviously a good seedling, but he usually works hard, so why can't he pass the exam?

"Thank you sir!"

Annie felt the Mr.'s concern and bowed deeply.

"Don't delay studying when you go back. If you have any questions, come to the academy to find me at any time."

The gentleman took out a bag and handed it to Annie, "These are some of my reading notes over the years, so I will give it to you as a souvenir."

"Thank you, sir, don't worry, I will study hard and will never let your expectations down!"

Anne took the bag with both hands and bowed ninety degrees again.

After leaving the academy, Annie happened to catch a glimpse of Zhou Zhou, a classmate who invited Zhou Yaozu to the gambling house yesterday.

Unlike yesterday's relaxed and casual, Zhou Zhou was a little anxious today. Seeing that he seemed to be coming out of the school hall, Annie couldn't help but guess: This person wouldn't be looking for Zhou Yaozu in the school hall.

Yes, they set the bait yesterday, and today they need to take Zhou Yaozu, the fish, to the gambling house to continue to lure them.

Thinking of this, Annie curled her lips maliciously and walked towards Zhou Zhou.
