C71

In the early morning more than ten days later, when the sky was still not bright yet, Qimu and her family had all stood up and walked toward the small town through the cold wind.

"I really have to go. Dad, Mom, don't send me off anymore. Take Yangyang and Little Yiran back. Go back."

Qimuping's daily chignon had been replaced with the little bookkeeper's hair style. There was a black towel on her forehead, and she was dressed entirely in black. She carried a bag on her shoulder, as if she was a man who was going out to study.

"We'll send you off again, and send you off again, my daughter."

Ye Dazhuang followed closely behind Qimu step by step, holding the sleepy and hazy little Yiran in his arms. His voice was hoarse, with a hint of sadness in it.

"Lady, why are you so disobedient? There was nothing left to do now, since his family was well, why did he insist on going to that town to suffer and beg for help? Reading and reading characters, how is that something that a girl should do? "

"Why don't you come home with us? Let's tell your grandfather that we shouldn't go to that school anymore. You're just a woman, yet you stay with a man all day. If someone finds out, what will you do in the future? "

Yang Lili held Yangyang's hand with reddened eyes. The more she looked at her daughter's dress and thought about her daughter going to town alone for school, the more she felt uncomfortable.

She didn't agree with Mu to do this kind of thing in the first place, but she couldn't refuse her daughter. Ye Dazhuang was intimidated to the point where he also came to persuade her.

Hearing Yang Lili's words, Qimu couldn't help but sigh slightly in her heart. She didn't understand why such a cheap mother like her would keep stopping this matter. Logically speaking, since Yang Lili was originally the daughter of a general, she should know more about the benefits of reading books than Ye Dazhuang and Old Master Ye.

It was because of this that Yang Lili had quarreled with her for a long time. In the end, it was Old Master Ye who came to the second branch himself. That was how he settled the matter with Qimu.

Qimu lowered her eyes to look at her bag. Although Yang Lili didn't want to do it, she wished she could pack up the entire room for fear of losing her. She also felt sorry for her parents.

With a slight smirk, Qimu maintained the smile on her face. Although she had taken the initiative to leave, her heart was filled with unwillingness to leave. If there were no difficulties, who would be willing to leave?

She smiled and said:

"Mother, it's so easy to rely on the blessings of my father's milk. I can't even ask for this chance, no matter how many thousands of gold pieces I ask for. This is my fortune and should be cherished. How can I not go?"

"Seeing that I'm about to leave, you should stop talking. If you're free, you might as well look at your daughter a little more. In the future, we don't know when we'll meet again."

You guys don't need to send me off anymore, I'll be at the village entrance if you send me off again. The villagers got up earlier and thought that our home was so what?

"With my personality, what are you all worried about?"

Even though he was sad, his way of doing things was more decisive than Yang Lili. He immediately held onto Yang Lili's hand, and with determination behind the sadness in his eyes, and the deep love he had for his children, he said:

"Our daughter is also someone with luck. As parents, how can we block our own children's path? Let's listen to our daughter and send it here. "

"Her mother, you just need to think a bit more. Even if your daughter goes to the town, she still has to learn. She'll be back very soon, so her heart will feel a bit better."

Then he turned to Qimu and waved his hand. He had a forced smile on his face, which was very ugly, but it had the simple kindness of a farmer. He chattered on:

When you're tired, find a place to rest and don't let yourself work too hard. If you need money, don't be reluctant to spend it, our family usually doesn't have any money to spend anyway. You can spend whatever you want, just buy whatever you like.

When you get to someone else's land, do whatever they say. You better watch over them and learn from them. Sigh, when a person is under the eaves, they have to lower their heads. I know you are clever, but you cannot be too stubborn in everything you do.

Qimu had been listening to these words for a long time, and her ears were already full of calluses. But now, facing Ye Dazhuang's warning, her heart was still a little moved. She smiled and nodded again and again.

"My daughter, father will say one last time, don't be bothered by father, no matter how good that town is, it is not our own home after all. If you are truly wronged, then come back, your father doesn't have much ability, but raising my own daughter is still fine."

"You must remember that we are all waiting for you to return home. No matter what you've learned, as long as you return, your mother, me, and your two sister-in-law will be happy."

Qimu originally had traces of joy in her heart that were on the verge of leaving for an even wider world, but in an instant, it was all melted by the unreserved love of this family. She even felt that if it wasn't for the sake of this family's better future, she would be happy to stay in the Niu Village her entire life and dig through the soil.

"Un, I know, I will. I will leave …"

Qimu replied. She turned around and looked at the blue sky in the distance. The sun was rising slowly with a soft and hopeful glow. Her eyes turned moist, but she pursed her lips, refusing to make any sound.

"Let's go, Ye Qimu, fight for our family in that bright and gentle world, let our parents no longer worry about our livelihood, let Yangyang receive the best education, give Little Yiran a childhood full of food and clothing …"

She must return home in glory!

"Mu, ah, Mu …"

"Elder sister, when are you coming back …"

"My daughter, come home early …"

After turning around, Qimu could clearly hear the sobs and sobs behind her. She could only vaguely hear them, and with a heart of steel, she walked faster and faster. The smile on her face also gradually faded, replaced by an expressionless determination, and even a hint of indifference.

What can you do if you stop? She was not that kind of person.

"..."

When the sky darkened.

"It should be here. The Qizhang Academy, the most famous of the Donghua Empire, the Child Enlightenment Hall."

Qimu panted heavily as she wiped the sweat off her forehead. She raised her head slightly to look at the grand signboard and revealed a hopeful smile. Her eyes were exceptionally bright.

"This elder brother, may I ask if the head of this academy is Hall Master Liu Gu Xun?"

The man dressed as a scholar standing in front of the door glanced at Qimu. He seemed to have noticed the scabbed scar on Qimu's face and was stunned for a moment. When he saw how shabby Qimu's appearance was, he said with a disdainful tone:

"Yes, I am."

Seeing this, Qimu did not get annoyed. With a shallow smile, she asked in a neither humble nor haughty manner:

"My family's old man and the academy's head have a relationship, so he asked me to come and see Elder Liu for a moment. Can this elder brother lead the way?"

The young man frowned and thought for a while. He didn't say no and neither did he say yes. Instead, he first asked:

"Which family are you from? "The Head of the Guards has always been busy with matters of the hand. It's not good for me to disturb the Head of the Guards for no reason."

The implication of his words was that if the person behind Qimu wasn't important enough, he wouldn't lead her to the Head of the Guards.

Qimu was helpless, her Ye Family had long since declined, and even if she told the truth, she would not know, and would probably have to say that she was spouting nonsense. Thinking about it, since she had just arrived and had no other way, she could only take out the letter she treasured so much, waving it in front of the young man, and saying:

"I am not just bluffing. My family's old man does have a long history with Liu Tang and has this letter as evidence. However, the content is private and can't be seen by you. I hope big brother can help me."

The young man looked at him doubtfully. After a long while, he said:

"Who is the Head of the Hall? With a person like you, I presume your old man isn't much either? You definitely aren't some noble person. Hurry and leave, don't block the path, and pollute this study ground. "

Qimu was slightly angry when she heard this. How could this person be so snobbish? He didn't ask if this letter was real, but started to appraise her background. Her family's old man could not be any better, how could this junior dare to speak carelessly?

She laughed coldly, pointed at the "Qizhang Academy" sign, and spoke in a sonorous and forceful manner:

"In the east and west of the river for thirty years, the great peng rises with the same wind every day, rising more than ninety thousand miles. According to what you said, he has forgotten the friendship between old friends."

"And what are you? You dare to make such a decision on behalf of Chief Liu Tang. Could it be that you have a wicked heart and want your Head of House to be read by all the scholars in the world, to make fun of being an ungrateful and ungrateful person? "

"It doesn't matter if it's true or false. First, we should talk about the rich and the poor. It seems like you're a scholar yourself, but unfortunately, you're not. How can you stand under this plaque with your actions?"
