Old Madam An only stayed in the general's mansion for two days before going back. The reason was that the sixth day of June was the wedding date of An Rong and Han Xun.
She only has one daughter left, and no matter how much she is reluctant to leave her other daughter, she has to cheer up and host the event for the remaining daughter.
Tian An stayed with the old lady for two days. She was obviously in much better spirits than before, and her face looked radiant.
Fearing that she would return to her old ways if she left him, or that she was too busy with An Rong's marriage, Tian An simply packed up his underwear and moved in with her to the Duke of Anguo's Mansion.
He ate meals with her at regular times, took her to practice the Five Animal Exercises, and made porridge for her using food from the space. He also slept with her on time at night.
Mrs. An was afraid of disturbing Tian An's sleep and was not willing to stay up late, so she went to bed with her on time every night.
With Mrs. An taking care of the household, there was no need for Mrs. An to worry about anything, but she just couldn't let it go.
Now that Tian An accompanies her and watches over her all day, her life has become more regular and her spirits are getting better.
The An family finally breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the changes in the old lady. They were afraid that the old lady would suffer too much of a blow and never recover.
Fortunately, fortunately.
Finally, the wedding day of An Rong and Han Xun arrived.
Although the wedding was not a grand one at An Rong's request, all the relatives and friends who were supposed to come were present, and all the necessary ceremonies and regulations were followed.
After Han Xun accompanied An Rong to bid farewell to the old lady, he took her out and sat in the big red sedan chair.
The dowries were carried out of the An family one by one along with the wedding procession.
These dowries included those prepared by the An family for their daughter, and those sent by Han Xun when he proposed to her. Now, all of them were taken back to their future home by An Rong.
The wedding banquet was extremely lively, and it was not until the guests left at night that this belated wedding came to a perfect end.
On the third day, An Rong returned home dressed like a woman. Her smiling face and rosy complexion showed her happy married life.
Even though she was already thirty years old, Mrs. An still worriedly pulled her into her room and kept reminding her how to be a wife, fearing that her daughter would make a mistake.
An Rong also responded patiently with a smile on her face. Her mother was getting older, and she didn't know how many more times she would have to give her such instructions.
After returning home three days later, An Rong followed Han Xun to the farm to teach the children.
At first, she was only responsible for arranging and taking care of Han Xun's life at home and managing the family business.
Later, seeing that half of the students in the school were still girls, he suggested to Han Xun that she teach the girls.
Han Xun also felt that boys studied mainly for the purpose of imperial examinations, while girls did not need to take the imperial examinations, so it was not a good idea for them to study with him. It would be better for An Rong to teach them something else that would be more practical.
So starting from the second day, needlework and painting classes were added to the girls' class, and the Four Books and Five Classics were weakened.
The women's college began to take shape.
Tian An stayed with the old lady at the An family for half a month and then asked to go back.
The time for Zhao Yiming's provincial examination was getting closer, and she had to go back home to help him prepare.
Although the old lady was reluctant to let her go, she also knew that the business was important, so she personally picked out a lot of good things from the warehouse for her to take away.
Seeing the old lady's reluctance to leave, Tian An held her hand and said, "Why don't you stay with me at the general's mansion for a while?
Then I will come to the Duke's Mansion to live with my grandmother, and it's not impossible for us to live like this for a while."
However, this time the old lady refused. "Girl, you have something important to go back for. I don't want to be a burden with you."
Without waiting for Tian An to persuade her again, she said, "Okay, go back and finish your business first, and I'll take care of my own business at home first. When we're done in a few days, I'll come find you."
"Okay! Then I'll come pick up grandma later."
After bidding farewell to the An family, Tian An returned to the general's mansion.
But now everyone in the family is very busy, and it seems that she is the only one who is free.
In addition to working every day, Tian Mingwu goes to Taohua Mountain to plant peach trees for An Wan and does not come back until dark.
Zhao Yiming did the same. He went to Songshan Academy before dawn and returned before curfew.
Xiaokang and Xiaoqi were slightly better, but they said they wanted to try to take the examination for Tongsheng next year. As soon as they came back, they took the initiative to go to the study to review their lessons, and even asked the servants to bring them dinner.
As a result, only Tian An, Nanny Xiao, and the four children of Tian Mingcai's family had dinner together.
It had been a long time since I last saw them. After dinner, Tian An first asked about Tian Kai and Tian Zhuang’s academic progress.
When talking about studying, the two of them were a little afraid to look at Tian An, and they stammered and couldn't say anything for a long time.
Tian An didn't hear the two's answer for a long time. When he raised his head, he noticed their evasive eyes.
His brows furrowed immediately, "What's going on?"
The two men trembled all over and stood in a row in front of Tian An, like two quails, with their heads lowered and not saying a word.
Tian An didn't say anything, just looked at the two of them.
The younger Tian Kai was the first to be unable to withstand the pressure, and tears started to flow.
"Sister An An, I'm too stupid. I can never memorize the articles the teacher taught me. The teacher said that if I can't memorize them again, I don't need to go anymore..."
"What about you?" Tian An didn't talk about Tian Kai, but looked at Tian Zhuang beside him.
Tian Zhuang also felt guilty and stammered, "Sister An An, I, I have memorized my daily articles, but I stayed up too late at night, and I always, always, dozed off in class, which made the teacher a little angry."
Tian An did not blame the two of them immediately, but instead carefully asked them about their situation in the An family school.
Only then did I know that since the two of them entered the clan school, they had started their enlightenment late and had been delayed because of fleeing famine, and only returned to school in the second half of last year.
At the beginning, they could only barely keep up with the progress of the clan studies, but as the progress of the clan studies accelerated, they gradually found it difficult.
Especially Tian Kai, who was young and couldn't stay up late at night. After finishing the homework assigned by the teacher that day, he couldn't memorize the article that was to be checked the next day.
Tian Zhuang was able to finish it, but he stayed up too late at night and didn't have enough energy to attend classes during the day.
This resulted in him not being able to study well during the day, and he had to spend a lot of time to complete his homework at night. The poor rest at night affected the quality of his lectures during the day. In the long run, this vicious cycle made it increasingly difficult for him.
Tian An thought about it, took the two to their study, and asked them to do the homework assigned by the teacher in front of her.
Through observing them, I found that they were really slow in doing their homework. No wonder they stayed up so late every day. It also affected their ability to attend classes the next day.
"Kaikai, there's something wrong with the way you hold the pen."
