I’m the Farmgirl You Can’t Mess With
Chapter 790 - Chapter 790 Education Problem

Chapter 790: Education Problem Chapter 790: Education Problem Editor: Atlas Studios Qi Xiuyuan looked at his son’s letter in shock.

After a while, he handed it back to him and coughed lightly, his face slightly red as he said, “Read it to Royal Father.” At nearing 30 years old, he realized that he could not even understand the letter.

Little Treasure took the letter that was filled with ink spots and stood up solemnly.

After reading it in Little Bear’s tone, he ended with a sigh.

“Royal Father, why are Uncle and Aunt so poor?

Let’s share some of our family’s money with them.” In the letter, Little Bear desperately complained about being poor and told Little Treasure that not only had he spent all his savings of many years (three years) to run three schools, but he also owed his mother 56 taels of silver.

He was so poor that he didn’t even have the money to buy candied hawthorns.

In the letter, Little Bear said that by the time he wrote to Little Treasure, he hadn’t dared to go shopping for three days and didn’t have a single cent on him.

Only then did he know that it felt pretty terrible having no money at all, so he could only borrow money from Little Treasure.

When he returned to the capital in the future, he would return it to him.

If he couldn’t pay it back, he would use his luxurious toys to repay the debt.

That set of luxurious toys was a gift Qi Haoran gave Little Bear when he first started speaking.

He had engaged two craftsmen from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to help him make it.

The set consisted of a luxurious carriage, a horse, a precious dagger, and a statue of a child who looked like Little Bear sitting on the horse.

Little Treasure had been eyeing the set for a long time, but Little Bear had only let him touch it once.

Seeing that he had even offered to use that set of toys as a collateral, Little Treasure’s heart ached terribly.

He immediately asked the wet nurse for the key to retrieve his box of silver, and began counting his money.

Little Treasure looked at his father pitifully, as if Qi Xiuyuan had abused Qi Haoran, making Qi Xiuyuan furious.

Even if his younger brother was poor, it was impossible for him to be so poor that he could not fork out 180 taels of silver.

Did he have to use the child’s money to set up a mere three schools?

Qi Xiuyuan took Little Bear’s letter and read it again and again.

Despite staring very hard at the letter, he could barely make out a few words.

Little Bear’s handwritingaEUR| Qi Xiuyuan looked at his son and felt that he was really smart to be able to recognize so much content from a pile of ink dots.

Finally giving up, Qi Xiuyuan returned the letter to him.

“You don’t have to use your money.

Royal Father will give your uncle some money.” Little Treasure blinked and said, “But I’ve already agreed to lend Little Bear money.

You giving Uncle isn’t the same as me giving Brother Little Bear.

I can’t go back on my word.” “You sent the letter out?

Isn’t your money still here?” His son and Little Bear’s letters would have to pass through Qi Xiuyuan’s hands every time.

They would usually be sent out together with the Qi Xiuyuan’s letter for Qi Haoran.

When had Little Treasure ever sent out a letter by himself?

Little Treasure said solemnly, “I promised Little Bear in my heart.” “aEUR|” Qi Xiuyuan rubbed his forehead and said, “Alright then.

How much do you want to lend him?

I’ll give you the banknotes.” Frowning, Little Treasure disagreed.

“Royal Father, I want to lend Little Bear my own money.

I don’t want your money.

How can you always indulge me?” Qi Xiuyuan: “aEUR|” Qi Xiuyuan clutched his chest and went back.

After walking to the door of his bedroom, he thought for a moment before turning around to go to the Palace of Earthly Tranquility.

He felt that it was necessary for him to have a good talk with the Empress about their son’s education.

Eunuch Wan followed behind the Emperor helplessly.

The Empress was also reading the letter that Mu Yangling had sent her.

It was the same every time the letters were received from Qiannan.

When Qi Haoran wrote to Qi Xiuyuan, Little Treasure would receive Little Bear’s letter and items, while the Empress would receive Mu Yangling’s letter.

Unless there was an important official letter, she would receive letters twice a month.

Though they had no idea what the men talked about in their letters, the two sisters-in-law usually talked about their children’s education, food, clothing, accommodation, transportation, and also, various tips about staying healthy during pregnancy.

They even talked about how they managed their dowries.

At this moment, the Empress was repeatedly reading Mu Yangling’s letter in deep thought.

Seeing that the Emperor had arrived, she hurriedly held her stomach and got up.

Her delivery date was not far from Mu Yangling’s.

At this moment, her stomach was also slightly bulging, but she wasn’t often drowsy like Mu Yangling.

She vomited almost every day, and until now, she could not tolerate any greasy smell.

Hence, she was very nervous about this baby.

Not daring to let her bow, Qi Xiuyuan quickly took two steps forward to support her before sitting upon the couch with her.

“It’s getting late.

Why aren’t you resting yet?” The Empress said with a smile, “I can’t fall asleep so early because I napped a little too much in the afternoon.” Seeing that the Emperor hadn’t even changed out of his usual clothes, her heart ached.

“Your Majesty just came out of the Imperial Study?” “No, I just came from our Royal Son’s place.” Qi Xiuyuan deliberated for a moment and recounted the conversation with his son just now.

Just as he was about to say that their family didn’t lack money and didn’t need to distinguish their finances so clearly, the Empress said with a smile in relief, “I didn’t expect my son to think this way at such a young age.

That’s great.

I was afraid that we would spoil him too much, and that he’ll grow up not knowing the hardships of life and squander away his money.

Now, it seems that I’ve been worrying in vain.” Shocked, Qi Xiuyuan frowned as he pondered.

When the Empress saw this, she handed Mu Yangling’s letter to him and said with a smile, “Ah Ling also put in a lot of effort into teaching Little Bear.

She specially lured him to play with the farmstead children and asked him to donate money to build schools for them.

This way, those people won’t say that Uncle overindulges Little Bear, and secretly say that our Little Bear is going to become a silkpants.” Li Jinghua knew that Qi Xiuyuan didn’t know much about teaching children.

Qi Haoran and Fan Zijin spent half their lifetimes pampered, and the other half growing up in the army.

However, it wasn’t right to say that the two of them hadn’t gone astray.

Qi Haoran had a bad temper, and even the heavens couldn’t stop him when he flew into a rage; he lacked the composure to take the overall situation into consideration.

Fan Zijin, on the other hand, was simply a cunning person under the disguise of a gentle and refined appearance.

However, they hadn’t gone astray entirely either.

Qi Haoran had great passion for serving his country and the people.

Although Fan Zijin didn’t care about the country and the people, his heart was entirely focused on Qi Xiuyuan and Qi Haoran, thus he listened to the two of them.

With this bottomline, he wouldn’t go very much astray.

Qi Xiuyuan had never allowed outsiders to bully his two younger brothers.

After returning home though, he would use a whip to force them to swerve back onto the right path.

Because Qi Haoran and Fan Zijin grew up in a deformed environment, they had extraordinary trust and affection for Qi Xiuyuan.

That was why they did not turn against each other.

In ordinary families, the children would either have become spoiled by him or estranged from him.

Just by looking at Little Treasure and Little Bear, one could tell that Qi Haoran doted on his child very much.

And Qi Xiuyuan was even more doting on his child than him.

Li Jinghua doted on Little Treasure, but she was considered a strict parent compared to Qi Xiuyuan.

Worried that Qi Xiuyuan would spoil Little Treasure too much, she wanted to take this opportunity to talk to him about their son’s education.

Qi Xiuyuan, too, wanted to chat about this, so he stayed at the Palace of Earthly Tranquility that night.

After washing up, the couple laid down together and started a deep discussion about their son’s education.

The next day, Qi Xiuyuan went to court with dark circles under his eyes.

Seeing this scene, the palace maids and emissaries all let their thoughts run wild.

There was even a maidservant who looked at the Empress hesitantly.

In the end, seeing that she did not seem to suffer any discomfort, she could only swallow the words that were about to come out of her mouth.

The Emperor, who had no idea that he had been misunderstood, was studying Mu Yangling’s letter.

In the end, his eyes darkened and he took out the family letters that he had put away last night.

He could not help but have a crazy thought.

Perhaps Great Qi could achieve the things they dreamed of?
