Chapter 385: watch
Liu Ting said a little embarrassedly: "They are impatient to study, and they don't have the talent. Let them stay at home to do farm work."
Mu Yangling pondered for a moment, then said: "Uncle, go back and talk to your cousins, if they want, I will send them to the academy to study for two years. If you don't want to continue studying, you can learn other skills, and then I will specially invite a gentleman to teach them."
This is what Mu Yang's spiritual communication means.
"How does this work?" Liu Ting frowned and said, "A-Ling, this pie is too big. You have many cousins, and there must be many people in the clan who want to share the pie."
The Mu family helped the Liu family a lot. In the past, when they were in Linshan Village, they only focused on their family, and the whole village followed suit, but since they moved out and everyone entered the military, Mu Yangling gradually did not do anything like before. Pulling up the Liu family, but only taking care of the two closest blood relatives, sometimes reaching out to pull Liu Li's mother and son, even the patriarch Liu He's family ignored it.
Mu Yangling sends things to the Liu family from time to time. It can be said to be filial to Liu Daqian and Liu Erqian. Even if the people in the clan are jealous, they can't say anything. Who made Liu Daqian and Liu Erqian the closest blood relationship to the Mu family?
Mu Yangling pulled his uncle and cousin, but it was a fact that Liu Ting and Liu Yuan came to help Mu Yangling to work in the field every three or five times. Their wages also had to work hard. It was not that no one had come to find the Liu brothers. I hope that I can tell Mu Yangling from the face of my family, and everyone will make a fortune together.
But Liu Ting's words, "One sentence is enough for manpower, can't let Al-ling spend money to hire people for nothing" to get rid of people.
As for Liu Lang, the reason is more ready-made. He followed Mu Yangling, but it was also because he learned the ability to manage accounts.
Some people say that the ability is also from Mu Yangling, but in half a year, he can not only plan the book, but also keep accounts. The other Liu disciples can naturally do it. Listening to me, they don’t even know the word, so they can only die.
But if Mu Yangling sent Liu Lun and the others to study and learn crafts, the temptation would be too great, because they didn't do anything for Mu Yangling, and then everyone would find them, and everyone would be her cousin. Brother, what should she do?
Therefore, although Liu Ting was very excited, he hesitated for a long time and still refused.
The first principle he learned from his father when he was a child was to repay his gratitude and not trouble others, not even close relatives.
"Uncle Cousin, isn't it reasonable for Cousin Lang to pay to send his cousins ??to study?" Mu Yangling blinked and said, "If you don't have the money, you can borrow some from me."
Liu Ting was stunned, and Mu Yangling smiled and persuaded: "Uncle Biao, I'm sending my cousins ??to study, and to learn craftsmanship is also selfish. There are only two younger brothers in my family, and my parents are getting older. I'm afraid I won't have another child. My Mu family has no relatives, so I can only rely on myself. Bo Wen and Bo Si are weak. I hope they can have more people to help them, just like the current cousin Lang, even if they are not by my side in the future. After doing it, he has the ability, and he can also make a career out of it, and if there is something wrong with Bowen and Bosi in the future, they can also ask him to help."
"They are cousins, and they should have been watching and helping each other."
"But that also requires them to be capable," Mu Yangling said: "The more capable the cousins ??are, the better the path of Bowen and Bosi will be in the future. You should consider this to be my selfishness."
Liu Ting looked at Mu Yangling complicatedly and said, "It's us who benefit from your selfishness."
Liu Ting also knew that what Mu Yangling said was true. The relationship between the two of them is indeed very good now. If his son and nephew are successful, judging from the current development of the two families, the relationship between the two families in the future will only be better than the relationship between the clansmen. Even better.
So he nodded and agreed, "Then I'll go back and tell your uncle and the others, and I'll send all those boys to the academy. Don't worry, even if they don't want to learn, I'll follow their lead."
Mu Yangling nodded with a smile, lit a candle in his heart for his cousins ??who were like wild horses, and said, "Cousin, when someone in the clan asked, they said it was the money from Cousin Lang. As for Cousin Lang, where did he come from? The money, it is said that he met a noble person in Jingzhao Mansion, most of it is his own wages, and the other half is borrowed from me."
"Since I want to expand Bowen Bosi's contacts, why don't I find more children from the clan?" Liu Ting asked suspiciously.
That is from the Liu family, not the Mu family.
"Uncle Biao, Shengmien fights Miqiu, not everyone is the same as you, Bosi and Bowen's helpers are not many." After all, Mu Yangling just doesn't like trouble.
Liu Daqian and Liu Erqian are different. The two are kind and acquainted. The most important thing is that Liu Daqian has always been afraid of bothering them and owes too much favor, so he has been suppressing the cousins ??below.
Over the years, Mu Yangling has helped the Liu family a lot, and the Liu family has also given back a lot. As long as there is something wrong with the Mu family, even if the Liu family is busy planting seeds, they will drop their work and come to help. .
And the two families have never been "loved and spoiled", and the Liu family never used her name to do anything, very low-key.
It can be said that most of the reason why Mu Yangling helped support the Liu family so unscrupulously is that the Liu family is suppressed by Liu Daqian and Liu Erqian. force.
Although Liu Ting regretted it, he didn't bring up the topic again. After returning home with Liu Yuan, he told Mu Yangling's words, "A-Ling asked us to go to the county to find a better academy. You don't need to be a high-ranking academy, sir. It’s good to be fickle, a few children are not suitable for reading, if the husband is always harsh, they will not like reading even more.”
Liu Yuan looked at his sons and nephews enviously, kicked their butts, and said, "How dare you dislike it if you have a book? You can't beat them to death. These kids have a better life than us."
Liu Ting just smiled, "Let's listen to A Ling, she is very good at teaching children."
Liu Daqian nodded, "Sir, you two brothers are asking quietly, don't say anything before sending the children to the academy," he said, glaring at a few children, "You are not allowed to go out and shout, do you know?"
"Understood, Grandpa." Liu Lun took the lead in answering, but asked eagerly: "Then we have to study for a few years, Grandpa, if you can't read well, you can't beat me, I really don't know how to read. "
Liu Yang and Liu Ying on the side of ?? nodded repeatedly. They had a book from their cousin at home, and the elder brother could read, so they read it for a while. At first, they were still interested, but they couldn't read it because of the stick.
Liu Zhangshi and Liu Sunshi, who were secretly happy, could not wait to beat up the three children, but they disliked the opportunity that others could not ask for.
