Chapter 53: The Two Brothers Go to School
In the center of the village of Beishuo Village, there are three major family names side by side, namely Li clan genealogy, Zhang clan genealogy, and Zhen clan genealogy.
Zhen clan study is an old Xiucai of the family, and the teaching gentleman of the other two clans is just a child, this clan study is to teach children to recognize and read, and the village has not produced a Xiucai for many years.
The patriarch Zhen Zongshen was waiting at the door of the clan study, and the mother walked closer, he didn't say much, and took a few people into the clan study. The gentleman of the Zhen Academy is the elder of the Zhen family, looking at a very serious thin old man, wearing a green robe and Confucian shirt, revealing the appearance of an old pedant.
The patriarch took Zhang Xiaofeng and the four children to explain his intentions, and he nodded in response.
The brothers Dahe and Dashan first bowed to the Holy Master, nine prostrations, then Mr. Bai, three prostrations.
After worshipping Mr., the two brothers presented Mr. with six gifts. The six rites include: celery, which means diligence and diligence, lotus seeds, which mean hard work, red beans, which means good luck, red dates, which means early and high school, longan, which means complete merit, and dried and lean pork strips, to express the hearts of disciples.
After that, Mr. Zhen straightened the clothes for the two brothers, and the emphasis here is "first dressed, and then reasonable." ”
The old gentleman also asked the two of them to clean their hands, which means that they can clean their hands and hearts to remove miscellaneous essences, so that they can concentrate and have no distractions in their future studies.
"Cinnabar enlightenment" is the last step of the apprenticeship ceremony, and Mr. Zhen holds a brush dipped in cinnabar and puts a red mole on the center of the eyebrows of the two brothers. Because "mole" and "wisdom" are homophonic, this move means to open wisdom, eyes and hearts, and then learn to understand at one point.
Mr. Zhen gave back the three hundred thousand used by the two brothers, that is, the three-character scripture, the hundred family names and the thousand-character text.
Once the process is complete, the brothers will begin their studies from then on.
Zhang Xiaofeng watched solemnly from the side, and the two sons followed Mr. in a regular manner. When the two boys were led into the school hall by Mr., she couldn't help but wet her eyes with tears.
Zhen Dabao was afraid to let him go to school too, since he entered the clan school, he hid himself behind his sister, and when he saw the two elder brothers enter the school, he couldn't wait to pull Zhen Duoduo to leave.
Zhang Xiaofeng thanked the patriarch again and again, and then took the two children home. Since He left, the little daughters-in-law in the clan have automatically alienated her, and the patriarch can still treat the children as members of the Zhen family, and she and the children can live a little more safely in the village.
Seeing that winter is coming, Zhen Duoduo heard Zhen Dabao say that winter is very cold, in the past, in winter, only one kang was burned at home, huddled together for warmth, which Zhen Duoduo absolutely couldn't bear, so firewood and everything had to be reserved. Zhang Xiaofeng bought some food and vegetables in the village, but it was still far from Zhen Duoduo's cat winter that he wanted to eat and drink. So for the next few days, she turned into a little hamster and moved things around the house.
Zhen Duoduo was able to drag back a few dead trees with her bare hands, but she didn't want others to see it too distinctive. She found a dead tree in the deep mountains, cut it into several sections with a particularly sharp knife in the space, received it in the space, and dragged it back with a board cart borrowed from Dr. Jiang's family after reaching the halfway slope of the mountain.
The two mountains and rivers came back from school to chop firewood. Reading after dinner, by the way, teach two small ones to read and write, whether it is Zhen Dabao or Zhen Duoduo, they will be taught, and the speed of literacy is fast, which also makes Dashan more urgent, if it is too embarrassing to be compared with his younger brothers and sisters, after that, Dahe reads more and more books and becomes more and more complicated. As for Dashan, it would be good to be able to listen to half of the gentlemen in class, as for not being able to compare with his younger brothers and sisters, he comforted himself, these two are little prodigies, which are incomparable to mortals like him, and he can't catch up with the horse, so why bother himself.
Dahe has to chop firewood and teach the little ones to read every day, and he is very busy, but Zhen Duoduo did not use her sharp knife to do all the things of chopping wood. The two elder brothers have to do something to help the family when they go to school, and she doesn't want to raise two young masters who are not diligent in their grains.
Zhen Dabao wanted to stick to his sister up the mountain, but Zhen Duoduo resolutely refused, and he couldn't use space to transport things when he took Zhen Dabao up the mountain, and it took a lot of effort.
Zhen Dabao was also obedient, and he didn't dare to play tricks in front of his sister. Zhen Duoduo didn't take him up the mountain, and his two brothers also went to school, so he followed a few average-sized children from Zhang Cuihua's family, and no one had to worry about it.
At this time, Zhen Duoduo sat on the small wooden pier, watching the two brothers chopping wood, not how chic their actions were, and there was nothing to look good at their work, Zhen Duoduo mainly looked at their faces, the corners of Dashan's mouth were bruised and swollen, and they were fighting with people at first glance. The axe in the river's hand whirled like an enemy.
Zhen Duoduo held her chin with one hand, she was more worried, she had no children in her previous life, and she didn't know what to do if her children were bullied outside. Since learning the martial arts in the space, her current skills are also a fight with the masters of the rivers and lakes, and she can take down the person who bullied her brother in minutes, but her sister gives her brother a head, will the faces of the two brothers not be erased?
Zhen Duo's sad straight teeth, the two of them are so stupid that they don't say anything, who can hide the wounds on their faces.
Zhang Xiaofeng also asked when she saw the injury on Dashan's face, Dashan said that she accidentally bumped it, so she didn't ask again, but she just said that she should be careful in the future, and she didn't know if the stepmother had a big heart or really didn't know how many children were bullied.
Zhen Duoduo is the most protective of the short, and she decided to secretly follow her two brothers the next day to see who bullied them.
So on the second day, when Dahe and Dashan went to school, Zhen Duoduo was far behind.
After going out, they didn't go far, the Zhen family's big house Dajiang and Dahu brothers greeted them, these two brothers didn't have to go to school at all Zhen Duoduo's door, and the bruises on Dahu's face were much heavier than those on Dashan, it seems that the four cousins are a pot.
Among these children, Dajiang was the oldest, and he was the first to speak, "If that Zhen Da Fat dares to lead someone to block us today, Dahu and Dashan, you two run first, don't care about me and you Dahe."
Dahu was the first to jump out and object, "Then how can we both watch our brothers being bullied and run away, we are brothers, we will beat people together if we beat them, and if we can't beat them, we will be beaten together." ”
Dahe slapped Dahu in the face, "You stupid, you two little ones ran first, Brother Dajiang and I only saw Zhen Da Fat beating one by one, and ran away after the beating, we won't suffer, you and Dashan must remember to run first, don't let people catch us and drag us back"
