Wang Meng raised his eyes, staring directly at Yin Lan, and then heard Yin Lan say, "Such a clever thief, in the end he remained a thief, while the person who was much dumber than him..."

Wang Mengzhuo looked at her.

Yin Lan spoke up, "yet he became the Grand Secretary of the current dynasty."

boom!

Something seemed to shatter and collapse in Wang Meng's heart.

Yin Lan continued, “Memorizing quickly doesn’t mean anything, and memorizing slowly isn’t a fault either. People who remember quickly will forget even faster, while people who memorize slowly, precisely because they are slow, spend a lot of time, and what they memorize is deeply etched in their minds and they will never forget it for the rest of their lives. Every bit of effort you put in will not be wasted.”

Yin Lan smiled and said, "Don't you scholars like to say that you lose one thing but gain another? Even I, a woman, understand this principle. How can you not understand it?"

As Wang Meng listened to Yin Lan speak, his eyes grew brighter and brighter, until finally his entire face lit up and his chest heaved violently, as if he were extremely excited.

Yes, yes, why didn't he figure it out before?

It turned out to be a woman...

Thinking of this, Wang Meng's gaze fell on Yin Lan's face. He hadn't looked closely before, but now it seemed that although the woman's clothes were patched and looked tattered, she was clean and tidy.

Moreover, she is very beautiful, especially her eyes, which are bright, clear, and clean, making people feel incredibly close to her and trust her.

These didn't look like the eyes of a rural woman at all. Wang Meng actually felt that the feeling was very similar to when his grandfather looked at him, but with less of his grandfather's authority and more of his kindness and gentleness, making him subconsciously want to get closer to him.

"Auntie, thank you, thank you so much! From today onwards, I will definitely work harder than before, and I will study day and night. I am smarter than that prime minister, and I don't believe I can't learn it!" Wang Meng said excitedly.

Seeing that he had taken it to heart, Yin Lan was quite pleased and felt more at ease taking the ten taels of silver from him.

This young man is easily fooled.

However, no one could see any artificial traces on this stone; it was no different from a natural wonder. Wang Meng wouldn't suffer a loss.

Yin Lan only helped him out of kindness.

The principle is sound, but the important thing is who can put in the hard work to do it.

If you persevere, the result will definitely be good.

Yin Lan herself is not a very talented or intelligent person, but it was this persistence and drive that allowed her to get into a very good university in the college entrance examination.

If she can do it, so can anyone else.

After thanking him repeatedly, Wang Meng excitedly took the strange stone and headed back, ready to bury himself in his studies.

The item has already been sold. I originally thought I would be happy with seven or eight taels, but I didn't expect to get ten taels of silver without any bargaining.

On her way back, Yin Lan suddenly had another idea.

When she was in school, she learned about many learning methods, and one of them was as follows.

In a rural family, only one child could afford to go to school. So, the parents sent the eldest child to school, and every day after school, the eldest child would teach his younger siblings what he had learned.

In the end, all the children in the family were admitted to Tsinghua and Peking Universities.

This learning method promotes learning through teaching.

If you only study, the traces of knowledge left in your brain are limited. But in the process of teaching, you can gain a deeper understanding and know where you haven't understood clearly. After all, you can only teach others when you fully understand it yourself.

Since that's the case...

Nowadays, when children go to school, they first need to find someone to give them a basic introduction, and then they have to take an exam to be admitted to the school.

Could her family find a scholar to be her teacher? Wouldn't that kill two birds with one stone?

However, Yin Lan is only thinking about it for now.

There are no scholars in Iron Sword Village at all, and even if there were, they would be condemned to death for doing this.

Scholars are highly valued these days, so making them spend their time like this is just a waste of their time.

However, her child is of school age, and starting school costs money, and going to a school is even more expensive, so she needs to think of a solution quickly.

Yin Lan walked outside.

At the other end, at the school gate, Old Master Yin led his son out of the school. When he turned his head, he seemed to see a familiar figure.

He thought he was seeing things, but just then Yin Lan turned her head and said, "It's Second Aunt." The child saw it clearly and it really was Yin Lan.

Last time she came back, I only hit her a few times, because the grain she brought back was simply not enough.

Little did he know that his younger sister would be so temperamental. So many days had passed, and not only had she not brought any grain to beg for peace, but she had also driven their mother away when she came to visit. She even embezzled twenty eggs from the Yin family.

The thought that these were meant to boost his child's brainpower, and that his child had failed his exam again today because he hadn't eaten those twenty eggs, made him realize how precious they were.

I'll have to go back and continue my education, which will cost another tael of silver.

Where in the house can I find any more?

No, we have to let Yin Lan go.

Yin Laoda secretly made plans in his mind.

"Is my second aunt also here to register my younger brother for the exam?"

The child's casual question reminded Yin Laoda: "Yes, what is Yin Lan doing in the county town and next to the school when she has nothing to do but stay at home?"

Could it be that she actually intends to send her child to school?

Old Master Yin laughed heartily.

She doesn't even deserve it?

Those kids don't even deserve it. They look like beggars and idiots.

That's a joke!

No, I need to hurry and get some grain and money from Yin Lan. She should have received her allowance this month.
