The Prime Minister Seduced Me to have Babies!-Chapter 341: Girls Should Learn to Read Too

When customers came in, Yun Jiao would also have someone tell them that the shop was buying a large amount of fragrant flowers.

In the afternoon, people started coming in one after another with baskets of picked flowers.

The price Yun Jiao offered was quite high, and these people happily received their Copper Coins, each planning to pick more flowers to bring over.

Mrs. Chen knew Yun Jiao was too busy, so she volunteered to bring Yingzi and Sanya along, setting up a table and chairs by the main door to specialize in buying flowers.

Mrs. Chen weighed the flowers, and Sanya sat beside her, calculating the money with an abacus.

This girl found it fascinating to watch Zhang Shun play on the abacus with those crisp sounds when she wasn’t busy a while back, so she asked to learn.

Zhang Shun had some free time, too, so he seriously taught her for a few days, and unexpectedly, this girl was clever enough to learn it.

Mrs. Chen watched her daughter sitting there, looking serious and moving her small hands on the abacus, feeling incredibly proud.

Her son had good prospects, her daughter-in-law was capable, and now even her daughter was promising. The family was truly getting better.

She had never even dared to dream about such days in the past.

Seeing Sanya being so capable, Yun Jiao was also happy.

Unfortunately, there was no school for girls here, so no matter how smart Sanya and Yingzi were, they could only stay at home.

At dinner, Yun Jiao discussed with Mrs. Chen.

"Mother, how about, after we finish fixing up the backyard, we bring back a female tutor to teach Sanya and Yingzi how to read and write?"

Mrs. Chen was slightly taken aback. The young lady she used to serve had a female tutor who taught her how to read and write, and there were special teachers for playing instruments and female crafts.

She was now teaching Sanya embroidery and thought that girls learning female crafts well was quite enough.

With Yun Jiao’s suggestion, she felt that it was as if Sanya and Yingzi were being raised as young ladies of nobility.

She hesitated and said, "Is learning those things useful?"

Yun Jiao replied, "Why wouldn’t it be useful?" 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

"If I couldn’t read, how could I study medicine?"

"I see that Sanya is very good with the abacus; once she learns to read, she might even become a female manager."

"Even if she doesn’t become a female manager, once Sanya knows how to read, she can manage her own dowry and understand the accounts, so she won’t be deceived."

Sanya listened with her eyes sparkling, looking at Yun Jiao.

Mrs. Chen felt a bit dazed. Her daughter would have a dowry to manage in the future?

Yun Jiao nudged her and whispered, "Don’t forget, our family has thousands of acres of land, and in the future, there will only be more. When Yingzi marries, she’ll take at least a few hundred acres as a dowry."

Mrs. Chen also realized that with Sanlang’s attitude, giving Sanya a few hundred acres of land as a dowry would still be considered little.

The family was no longer the same as before, and her daughter indeed needed a different kind of education.

Yun Jiao looked at Yingzi again and smiled, "I noticed that Yingzi really likes identifying herbs, often asking Lao Jiu what’s this medicine, what’s that medicine. Once she learns to read, she might even become a female Doctor."

Yingzi didn’t feel much yet, but Guihua was extremely excited.

She had never thought that her daughter could also read and write.

She used to only think about ensuring Yingzi wouldn’t go hungry.

If she could really become a female Doctor like Yun Jiao, or even half as skilled, that would be incredible.

Mrs. Chen looked at her daughter and nodded firmly, "Alright, let’s hire a female tutor."

She thought for a moment, "I’ll first ask the proprietress of the silk shop next door; she often deals with high-ranking officials and might have some connections to find a female tutor."

Sanya cheerfully said, "Thank you, Mother."

Then she looked at Yun Jiao, "Thank you, sister-in-law."

Yun Jiao smiled with her eyes curved, "No need to thank me, as long as you two study well, sister-in-law will be happy."
