Chapter 1495 Don't Want to Kneel
Hearing Xu's words, Mrs. Li nodded and smiled, "Okay, then it's settled."
After a few more greetings, the Xu family resigned.
Sun Meimei also knew that she couldn't go home so quickly, after all, the lady didn't choose a good maid for the young lady. But it would be nice to be able to go home at the end of the year. Especially now that everything is fine at home, my sister has become Doctor Wu's apprentice and will become a respected female doctor in the future.
The reason why Madam is so polite to her family is that she is willing to show respect to her sister because of her future future.
The meeting time was very short. Mrs. Xu was about to leave. Before leaving, she gave Sun Meimei 10 taels of silver, "Meimei, you, keep the money, just in case."
"Mother, I have monthly money in the mansion, and I live in the mansion, so I don't need to spend my own money." Sun Meimei whispered, not wanting the money from her mother.
Xu Shi said angrily: "If the family has no money and it's as miserable as before, it's fine, but now the family life is better, when my mother thinks of you alone outside, I feel... it's not good. , so you must accept it!"
Sun Meimei couldn't refuse, so she had to accept it. Bring the money with you, and buy something for your family when you come back from Fucheng.
"Sister, take care, my family is waiting for you to come back." Sun Yingying said softly, just now her sister gave her some silk flowers, which are very beautiful.
Sun Meimei nodded, "Well, I'll take care, and so will you."
Yiyi said goodbye, the eyes of the mother and daughter were all red.
Mrs Xu wiped away her tears and walked out with Sun Yingying in her arms. She felt a little down, but she also had hope and expectations.
Sun Yingying frowned, feeling gloomy. Not just because my sister can't go home now, but because she knelt down and kowtowed to Mrs. Li just now.
Kneeling down and kneeling down to her parents, as for others, Sun Yingying felt a little uncomfortable. Although she was just a peasant girl now, she didn't want to.
Mrs Xu didn't notice Sun Yingying's emotions and kept her head down.
Sun Yingying turned her head and looked at her mother Xu, "Mother, why did we kowtow to Mrs. Li just now? We are not servants of the Li family!"
"Ah?" Xu Shi was stunned, then turned to look at her daughter, "Yingying, why are you asking this?"
Sun Yingying was extremely serious, "Kneeling to the sky and kneeling to my parents, I don't want to kneel and kowtow to others."
Hearing this, Xu shi smiled, "Hey, if we encounter ordinary wealthy households or businessmen, we don't need to kneel and kowtow as good citizens, but if it is an official family or a wife with a mandate in the official family, even Good people, you should also kowtow, unless there is someone in our family who is admitted to an official position, so that we don't have to kneel down and just pay respects."
"Oh!" Sun Yingying suddenly realized, "Can women take the imperial examinations?"
Xu Shi thought for a while, "No, women can't take the exam, but women can take the imperial hospital examination and become a female imperial doctor, which is also an official."
Sun Yingying thought for a while, "That's okay, I want to try it. By the way, eldest brother, second brother, I think they are all literate. Was it because the family was poor that they didn't read to them?"
Hearing this, Mrs Xu sighed with a melancholy expression, "Your father, your eldest sister, eldest brother, and second brother are all taught by me to read and write. Originally, your father gave your second brother to fight with the old man and the old lady, and let your second brother follow Erlang from the big room went to the private school to study together for a year, but because your father's leg was broken, it was delayed. Hey, now your second brother is eleven, it's a bit late. "
