  Chapter 66 Focus on academics

  In the case of a general shortage of grain, if more industries can be purchased, this pressure should be relieved.

  So taking advantage of the time to chat after dinner, Yun mentioned this idea to Wei Ruo.

   "Ruo'er, I heard that Xie's family bought some land outside the city, why not buy some from our family as well."

  Wei Ruo took a sip of tea calmly, and replied: "Yes, if mother wants to buy it, all she needs to do is register with the county government."

   "What I mean is, I hope you can be responsible for improving production. You are the best at improving wasteland, and those people in the government also learned technology from you." Yun explained.

"My mother suggested that I shouldn't refuse, but my husband has assigned me a lot of homework recently, and I have to discuss the next work with the county government and Nanny Qin in the only free time left. There is really no extra time." Wei Wei Ruo replied.

   In the past, it was Yun who urged Wei Ruo to go to school and not bother about the field; now the situation is just the opposite, she wants Wei Ruo to go to the field, but Wei Ruo is busy with class.

Immediately afterwards, Wei Ruo sighed again: "Studying is really exhausting. Mr. Wang's content is too much and deep; and I am a half-way monk, so it is very difficult to keep up with the rhythm. Most of the time I spend most of my time every day. It's all used on this, if it's not that I don't have the energy, if my mother speaks today, I will help my mother to solve her problems."

  Wei Ruo's remarks were sincere and reasonable, and no one could fault them.

   Yun didn't know how to refute Wei Ruo's words.

The Yun family was still thinking, Wei Yichen said first: "Mother, Ruo'er should focus on her studies. If you want to buy wasteland in the south of the city for improved farming, you can just hire someone to do it. Now there are people from the government to help Then, it’s the same if you ask them any questions.”

   Having reached this point, Yun could only nod: "Yi Chen is right, Ruo'er really should put her studies first."

   Immediately afterwards, Yun changed the subject, turned to Wei Yichen and said, "Yichen, how is your apprenticeship going?"

  The Wei family has been troubled by this matter for more than half a year.

A few years ago, Wei Yichen had been studying in the academy in the county, but last year, the master of the academy told Wei Yichen that he had nothing to teach him, and told him that if he wanted to improve his skills before the imperial examination, he still needed to go to Go to a better academy or worship a more prestigious master.

  Xingshan County is located in a remote place, not to mention that there are no nearby ones, nor any farther away.

And those prestigious academies are not something that ordinary people can enter if they want to. The Wei family only has the title handed down from their ancestors, and the rest requires connections and financial resources. The college is very difficult.

  In contrast, it is relatively easy to seek a good teacher. If you meet someone with insight and appreciate Wei Yichen's talent, things will be done more easily.

  Having a famous teacher will also be extremely helpful for Wei Yichen to take the exam in Beijing in the future.

  Wei Yichen frowned: "Sorry mother, there is not much progress yet."

   "Yichen, if you really can't get the teacher you want, then you should settle for the next best thing." Yun had to persuade, "Time waits for no one. If you delay it, I'm afraid it will delay your study."

   "Mother, this is no child's play. Once the teacher worships, he will be a teacher for a day and a father for life. You can't go back on your word. My son thinks he should be more cautious." Wei Yichen replied.

   "Forget it, you have an idea, and mother is just a little worried. In the end, you make the decision yourself." Yun said.

   Wei Ruo, who was tasting tea, listened to the conversation between the two, and suddenly remembered that the second brother had been staying in his own small courtyard all these years, and had neither been to school nor visited a teacher.

  Second brother said before that now he also wants to test for fame, so should he also think of a way for second brother?

  The whole family helps to worry about the eldest brother's affairs, Wei Ruo doesn't need to take care of it, but she can only help to find a solution for the second brother's affairs.

  After leaving Cangyunyuan, Wei Ruo who returned to Tingsongyuan asked Xiumei: "Meimei, do you know which is the best academy in Taizhou Prefecture?"

   "Miss, what do you ask the academy for? Academies are places where men go to study. I haven't heard of an academy where women can study."

   "I didn't go by myself, I asked for my second brother."

   "Then miss, wait for me, I'll find someone to ask!"

  How did Xiumei know this? She usually doesn't care about it, but if the young lady asks, she must find out for her.

  The Captain’s mansion appointed someone who knew about this, because there was an elder and young master who was studying in the mansion, so there was a bit of ink in the mansion.

  Xiumei soon asked Wei Ruo the result. There are three most famous academies in Taizhou Prefecture, namely Fangyan Academy, Tongjiang Academy and Anzhou Academy

  But these three academies have two problems, one is the distance, and the other is the high threshold.

  Xingshan County is a small and remote county town, far away from the bustling area of ​​Taizhou Prefecture. What's more difficult is that the three academies all have high requirements for students, and it is very difficult for ordinary students to enroll.

   "Miss, these three academies are all very good. It's not that we help Second Young Master choose which academies to enter, but which academies are willing to let people from our family go." Xiumei said.

   "If the academy fails, then there should be a way to learn from a teacher..."

  Wei Ruo thought about it carefully, and came up with an idea.

  ###

  June passed by in a hurry, and in a blink of an eye, it was already the seventh month of the lunar calendar.

  In the past few days, Xingshan County has been relatively peaceful. During this period, the army reinforced by the imperial court passed through the city and went to the east of the city, making people wonder whether the fighting on the east coast has become fierce.

  The land improvement in the south of the city is also proceeding in an orderly manner, because after the harvest is harvested, it is owned by themselves. Those people work very hard, and many of them sleep directly next to the reclaimed land.

  The Qiqiao Festival on the seventh day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar. This is one of the few days in a year when girls can go out together without being accompanied by their elders.

  Wei Ruo and Xie Ying made an appointment to celebrate the Qiqiao Festival together.

  Before going out, Xiumei made a lot of Qiaoguo for Wei Ruo, packed them in exquisite food boxes, and gave them to Wei Ruo and Xie Ying later.

  Just as she was about to leave the hospital, Wei Qingwan suddenly appeared.

   "Sister, I heard that you are going to the Qiqiao Festival with Miss Xie, and I want to go with you too, is that okay?" Wei Qingwan asked cautiously.

  Wei Qingwan also wanted to be with Wei Ruo, so when Wei Ruo was about to go out, she came to find Wei Ruo.

   "No." Wei Ruo resolutely refused.

   "Why? Is my sister still angry with me? There were some things I didn't do well before, so I apologize to my sister and beg her to give me a chance to correct it, okay?" Wei Qingwan bit her lip.
