Chapter 736 Shao Liulang never showed up
Speaking of the four treasures of the study, as the family's business grows bigger, it will be inconvenient if you don't know how to read. Shao Yunduan has already told the villagers about building a school, and Shao Sanlang and others can go and learn some simple things by then.
As for Shao Junyan, he also needs enlightenment. If he is a good student, he should continue to study. If not, at least he can pass the examination and become a scholar, right?
When it comes to studying, I have to say that it really depends on talent. The number of people admitted these days is so small that you can't succeed in the imperial examination or become an official just by being hardworking.
Even if you don't have that talent, it's not bad to pass the imperial examination, have a certain status, and manage a business.
It's better than struggling with books all your life and only passing the imperial examination when you are old. What's the point of having most of your life gone?
To put it bluntly, even if you are a scholar, if you fail the exam a few times, you can just take a break. There is no need to work hard.
Every profession has its top talents. The most important thing is to have a wonderful life, have enough food and clothing, live in harmony with your family, and educate the next generation well.
Shao Sanlang got a headache when he heard about going to school. Xiaoqi actually knew some words from following Shao Yunduan, but he didn't feel much.
However, his family did not have high expectations for Shao Sanlang. It was enough for him to recognize a few hundred words and barely understand contracts.
Shao Sanlang thought that this was not a big deal and that he could learn something if he was patient, so he didn't say anything else.
Mrs. Xu was very happy. Shao Junyan had been enlightened, and things would be different in the future. She hoped that her son would also be able to make a name for himself in the future.
Look at how successful my brother-in-law is today, and how successful my parents-in-law are too!
If Shao Junyan becomes successful in the future, she, as his mother, will naturally have a great time!
Although she has benefited from it now, for example, when her relatives from her mother's family come, they are obviously particularly flattering to her. However, it is even more glorious if her son is successful.
With Shao Junyan and this little son in her arms, there will always be a future for him, right? Xu had infinite expectations.
Everyone received gifts, and Fang even went as far as to send gifts to the second and third wives. She selected a few pieces of cloth, two cans of tea and some food and had them delivered to them.
In addition, he secretly gave Yan a pair of engraved gold bracelets weighing two taels.
As for Qiao Xuan, Fang let her choose whatever she wanted and as much as she wanted.
These things were originally given to Shao Yunduan by others. Although they were not divided into the family and belonged to the public, Fang was not a stingy person.
Qiao Xuan really doesn't think much of it, and she doesn't lack anything.
Madam Le Zheng really treated her like her own daughter, and the gifts she sent her during the New Year included everything, both expensive and household items.
Even the needles and threads for embroidery were not left out. There was a complete set of needles, several brass thimbles, and all kinds of fine silk threads in almost a hundred different colors. There were even rare gold and silver threads and peacock gold threads.
So she only picked out a few pieces of fabric suitable for making clothes to wear in the village, a few pieces of jewelry, and some pens, ink, paper and inkstone for Shao Yunduan.
He just smiled and said to get it when he needed it later.
Fang felt that she had taken too little, so she gave her an additional 500 taels of silver.
Qiao Xuan couldn't refuse, so she accepted it generously.
Despite the lively celebration in the Shao family's first house, Shao Liulang never showed up.
It is said that something happened at home of one of his very good classmates, so he rushed over to help.
The eldest wife of the Shao family did not comment on this and did not take it seriously.
