Chapter Seventy-Nine: Man'er Wants to Go to School
Qiu Chen pondered about inviting Mr., but after thinking about it for a long time, he didn't come up with a clue, the Lin family and the Yang family had never read, and there was no one among relatives and friends who could read books. I can only put these aside for the first time and clean up the dinner hand and foot. You can wait for reading, but you can't wait for dinner.
Turned back: "Mr. said that there is no vehicle to pick him up, thank you very much for sending us a car!" ”
"Have you seen Mr. Luggage? How many cars is appropriate? Qiu Chen asked, seeing Lin Xu's face ashamed, he didn't ask anymore, and said with a smile: "Okay, it's okay, after dinner, you take the eldest brother to Mr. to have a look, if there is a lot of luggage, let's set two cars." Anyway, it is convenient to have a car at home. ”
While eating, Qiu Chen asked Yang Shuyong, the car that had just been customized and could be used directly. She thought about it, went to find a piece of tarpaulin from the original shed, took a piece of rosin, boiled it, pushed the cart over, lit a torch, brushed a layer of rosin in the carriage, and then spread the tarpaulin while the rosin cooled.
Yang Shuyong handed over a broom, Qiu Chen swept it a few times with a broom, and the tarpaulin was obediently glued to the floor of the carriage. In this way, it will be much more convenient to clean up the carriage in the future.
Qiu Chen went to get the square green cloth cotton cushion again, put two pillows that were also cyan cotton in the carriage, and hung the cyan curtains and door curtains.
By the light of the torches, Qiu Chen looked at the oilcloth floor, which was almost the same as the color of the log, simple and a little literary blue cloth decoration...... Well, not bad. I thought in my heart, when I went to the county seat, I would find out if there was a bamboo mat for the carriage, and let the carpenter weave a bamboo mat for the carriage.
I heard the sound of the brass ring on the door, but there was no call. If it is a neighbor, it is common to shout loudly at the same time as banging on the door. Who's this?
Qiu Chen looked at Brother Yang Shuyong, gave him a look, and Jun Wenbu went to open the door.
Immediately after, I heard Junwen shouting: "Mr. Xu! ”
Qiu Chen took a step slower, followed by the Yang family brothers and Lin Xu, and caught up.
Several people greeted at the gate and welcomed Xu Changwen in. It was completely dark, and it was not good to stand in the courtyard, so Lin Xu and the Yang family brothers welcomed Xu Changwen into the West Wing. Yang Shuyong sat down on the chair with Xu Changwen, and Yang Shumeng took a stool and sat down.
Junyan Junzhang hurriedly made tea and brought it up, Lin Xu took it and poured the tea, and handed it to everyone.
Yang Shuyong asked Mr. Xu what time he would leave tomorrow, and if he needed to set up a carriage to load his luggage and the like, Xu Changwen answered one by one. Then, Xu Changwen thanked the Lin family for sending Cheng Yi, and said about Lin Xu's academic problems, "...... was going to let Lin Xu participate in the county exam in the autumn, but he didn't expect to suddenly accept the recommendation of his classmates...... It's really a failure! ”
Xu Changwen said, stood up and made a circle towards the Yang family brothers and Qiu Chen, who stood down, and the Yang family brothers hurriedly got up and returned the salute.
Qiu Chen was also slightly blessed, and said: "It is a happy event that Mr. can be a leader, and we can only rejoice for Mr. As for the second brother's studies, he didn't dare to delay. But after all, we know very little, and we want to hear what Mr. means...... I have a lot of children in my family now, I don't know if Mr. Xu is familiar with the readers, but if he has good knowledge and good character, can he be invited to be a candidate for Mr.? ”
Xu Changwen seemed to be slightly surprised: "Mrs. Lin wants to open a school by herself? ”
Qiu Chen smiled and nodded: "Originally, I thought that Mr. Xu could be trusted in his knowledge and character, and let the children study with Mr. Xu, but now that Mr. Xu has gone to a friend's appointment, these children can only find another Mr. to continue teaching!" ”
Xu Changwen frowned slightly, was silent for a moment, sighed secretly, and finally spoke: "I have a familiar acquaintance, named Pan Jiaqing." A year ago, the first place in the children's examination entered the school, but because of the death of his father in the autumn of last year, he did not participate in this year's annual examination, and he could only wait for the completion of the three-year filial piety period before he could resume schoolwork. ”
Qiu Chen raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Then since this Pan Xiucai wants to take the scientific examination, shouldn't he study hard, can he come out and go to the museum?" ”
Xu Changwen nodded and said: "The Pan family's family is poor, coupled with the fact that the old father extended the medicine last year, all the savings in the family should be sold out, and then the Pan family died, or a few of our friends helped to be able to be buried smoothly, since the death of the old father, Pan Xiandi went to the county every day to set up a stall to write, earn a few dollars to make a living, and support his mother...... To have a place to stay, he is willing to come. ”
Hearing this, Qiu Chen couldn't help but show a touch of joy.
can think of setting up a stall and selling words to support the old lady to make a living, this Pan Xiucai is also a person who knows how to be flexible. If it is really as Mr. Xu said, with good character and learning, there will be hope for the children of the Lin family to study.
"Mr. Xu, I don't know when you will leave, can you go to the county seat with me and meet that Pan Xiucai?"
Xu Changwen didn't hesitate this time, and agreed happily: "It's just right, send me back to the city tomorrow, and I'll go to see Jiaqing...... If Jiaqing can come to the museum, even if she arrives in Huairong, she will not have to worry about Lin Xu's studies! ”
"Huairong?" Qiu Chen vaguely remembered that he had seen this place name in his booklet, which seemed to be near the northern border pass. Hearing that Xu Changwen was about to go to Huairong, Qiu Chen was subconsciously surprised, but he didn't actually inquire about the whereabouts of others.
Xu Changwen showed a touch of joy because of Qiu Chen's surprise, turned his eyes back to look at Qiu Chen and explained: "My classmate and friend just released Huairong Zhixian. Due to the invasion of the border by the Rong people, the original county government system has been destroyed. Because of this, it is a place of great evil, and no one has accepted the election of the officials, and my classmate and friend Geng is honest and loyal, but he is not allowed by his colleagues because he is too upright...... When he heard about Huairong, he invited himself to go, and guaranteed that Xu would go to Huairong to serve as a county magistrate. It can be regarded as a way to get into the danger! ”
Qiu Chen has heard this sentence since ancient times, but he saw an acquaintance who was in danger because his ambitions could not be stretched, just to seek a way into his life...... She still felt a little incomprehensible. But after all, she and Mr. Xu only have a little relationship with Lin Xu, and she has no reason to stop others.
After opening his mouth, Qiu Chen still smiled and sent his blessings: "There are many dangers and difficulties in the border passes, I wish Mr. Xu a safe and smooth future!" ”
Xu Changwen looked at Qiu Chen for a moment of silence, as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it. After a few words, he got up and left, and Qiu Chen asked Lin Xu to send him off with a lantern.
After confirming Mr. Please, the children will be able to go to school and study, and the Yang Shuyong and Yang Shumeng brothers are both happy.
While discussing with Qiu Chen about asking Mr. to open a private school, he went back to the north house.
Junwen Junshu's children also knew that they were going to ask Mr. to open a private school, and they were all happy.
Dudu Aman pouted, looking unhappy, as soon as he saw Qiu Chen come in, he immediately got up and pounced towards Qiu Chen with his little short legs, and then buried his little apple face in Qiu Chen's arms and became a little ostrich.
Qiu Chen patted the little girl's back in surprise, looked up at a few bright-eyed children, and saw that they all looked at Junyan in unison, and couldn't help laughing, these children didn't know how to hide it at all, and they confessed Junyan at once.
Yang Shuyong was full of joy, and he didn't notice the expressions and small movements of several nephews and sons, he happily reached out and dug Aman out of Qiu Chen's arms, patted the little girl and coaxed softly: "What's wrong with our family Aman?" Is it that any brother provoked our family, Aman said to his uncle, and his uncle beat him to make Aman angry! ”
"Big brother!" Qiu Chen glared at Yang Shumeng with disgust, and said with a smile, "How can you be so used to being a child, you didn't ask anything, and you just protected it!" ”
"Hehe, let's be obedient, I don't protect who Aman is protecting!" Yang Shuyong didn't care about Qiu Chen's anger at all, and still said with a heartfelt voice, "Besides, how old are the few of them, when they are brothers, they should let their sister obey and take care of their sister, they didn't take good care of Aman, and they made Aman unhappy, shouldn't they be beaten?!" ”
In this way, Qiu Chen could only express his speechlessness, so he had to shift the target, and sat down on the edge of the kang, and without waiting for her to greet her, Ah Fu rubbed to her side with a ashamed face, and carefully snuggled her arm and said, "Mother, Aman wants to go to school......"
Qiu Chen blinked, and then understood.
It is estimated that a few children just heard that they were going to ask Mr. to open a private school, and they happily talked about going to school, Aman has always been quite proud of his cleverness, and on weekdays, whether it is Qiu Chen or Lin Xu teaching children to read, they do not treat Aman differently, and this little girl will naturally be happy when she hears that she goes to school. And Junyan was still young and didn't know what euphemism was, so he said that Aman was a girl who couldn't go to school, or that Aman was too young to go to school...... So, Aman's little girl was hit!
Thinking about it, Qiu Chen was amused at first, and then inevitably a little sour, looking at Wo Yang Shumeng's arms and still refusing to laugh at a man, he couldn't help but feel a kind of pity.
It is not easy to be born as a woman, but it is not easy to live as a woman in this era of male superiority and inferiority.
Men can go to school to study and gain fame, even if they don't study the imperial examination, they can also go to be apprentices to learn crafts, and if they do a good job, they can also be shopkeepers, and even start their own business. If you can't do it with brain power, you can also practice a good martial arts, go up the mountain to hunt and go down to the field to fish, or even take the martial arts route, or go to the battlefield to fight a few times, you can also get ahead, and even change back to a high position and a wife.
However, in this era when the girl's family was born, the family is fine, at least she has no worries about food and clothing, and she can also learn a few piano, chess, calligraphy and painting to cultivate her temperament by her own temperament. At the age of three or four, they will follow the mountain to dig vegetables, go home to feed the chickens, and then cook, laundry, dig vegetables and feed the pigs and chickens, and there are many children in the family, and they have to take care of their younger siblings...... When encountering family difficulties, the girls were the first to be abandoned and sold. Even if she grows up peacefully and there is no disaster, the only way out for a girl seems to be to find a relatively good in-law, and then entrust her expectations for a good life to a strange man who she doesn't know at all, or even before!
Sighing secretly, Qiu Chen reached out and took Aman from his eldest brother's arms, kissed the little girl's face, and said softly: "Aman wants to go to school with his brother, right?" ”
Aman finally raised his head this time, although he was still pouting, but a pair of big and dark eyes flashed with hope, looking at Qiu Chen and asking glutinously: "Mother, the fourth brother said, full of girls, don't go to school!" ”
Seeing that Aman's little face was full of grievances, Qiu Chen's heart softened, kissed Aman's forehead, and said with a smile: "Aman is a good girl, but Aman can read?" Can you read and write? Can you write? ”
As Qiu Chen asked, Aman's little face gradually rose, the brilliance in his eyes also brightened, and his little head nodded vigorously: "Well, well, Aman will, will!" ”
Qiu Chen smiled and pushed his daughter's head up, and said: "Yes, Aman can read, read, and write, and when the time comes, Mr. will be very satisfied with it, how can he not be so smart Aman goes to school?" ”
"Aman can go to school?" Aman still couldn't believe it, and couldn't help but confirm it again.
Qiu Chen nodded unequivocally and agreed: "Yes!" ”
I must be able to run a private school at my own expense, but if I can't even meet my daughter's school requirements, I don't need to run a private school at all. Or, that gentleman doesn't even have such a little understanding, and she doesn't need to use it. She still doesn't believe it, and there is still no gentleman in the world who is willing to teach his daughter to read.
The background etiquette of Dream of Red Mansions is strict enough, didn't Jia Yucun also hire Jia Yucun to teach Lin Daiyu to read!
Moreover, as far as she knows, although this era is still dominated by men and inferiority to women, the dogma of etiquette against women is not as harsh as it was in the Ming and Qing dynasties in history. Widows are encouraged to remarry, and girls are not required to be housed...... What's more, the strict object of feudal etiquette is also the lady of a high-ranking family, for the people at the bottom, the meal is bigger than the sky, and the girls and women do not go down to the fields to work and dig vegetables uphill.
In fact, Qiu Chen also knows that whether it is this era or ancient Chinese history, girls are allowed to invite Xixi to teach, and only their own sisters or brothers are allowed. But Qiu Chen also knew that if she wanted to set up a private school, she would not prevent the children in the village from coming to the museum to study. And she also knows that Man'er wants to go to school, and it is not only her and a few brothers, but even she alone!
Originally, Qiu Chen was full of confidence in the matter of inviting Mr. the next day, but after the incident of Aman, she was a little uncertain.
However, since she promised Aman to go to school, she will not change! If the surname Pan does not agree with Aman's schooling, she would rather abandon it and find a suitable gentleman!
Qiu Chen's few words coaxed the little girl to change her smile, hugged Qiu Chen's neck, and kissed Qiu Chen's face several times in a very flattering manner, which caused Yang Shuyong and Yang Shumeng to complain again and again, saying that the little girl was eccentric, only with her mother, not with her uncle. Ah Man giggled in Qiu Chen's arms, wrinkling his nose at the eldest and second uncle and making a grimace!
Yang Shumeng stretched out his hand to scratch Aman's little nose, and said with a smile: "Little girl has such a tongue, who will dare to want it in the future!" Aman wrinkled his little nose, snorted, twisted his face, buried himself in his mother's arms, and ignored his second uncle.
Qiu Chen patted the little girl on the back and comforted her like a fried cat. I heard Yang Shuyong laugh next to him: "When we are full, recruit a son-in-law and guard you, how much better!" ”
Seeing that Qiu Chen and the Yang family brothers were so spoiled by Aman, Junwen Junshu was so old that he already knew what to do, so he just looked at it and laughed.
Junyan Junzhang was inevitably a little unpleasant, Ah Fu simply rubbed over and reached out to hug Qiu Chen's arm. Qiu Chen sat down on the edge of the kang, sat on his lap with Ah Man in one hand, and hugged Ah Fu with the other, and the little brother smiled a little shyly.
"Brother, Aman can go to school!" Ah Man smiled happily and patted his chubby little hand and waved towards Ah Fu.
Ah Fu grinned brightly, nodded and said, "Well, my brother took Ah Man to school!" ”
Qiu Chen kissed Ah Fu and sighed in his heart, the personalities of these two children seem to be reversed, Ah Fu is shy, gentle and quiet, Ah Man is lively and loves to talk and laugh, and he is a little spicy when he sees it...... However, Ah Fu is very responsible at a young age, but Qiu Chen is very satisfied.
When a man has responsibility, he will work hard, establish his prestige, and be trusted and reused......
When a man has responsibility, he can be a good son, a good husband, and a good father......
A man can not be strong, he can not be domineering, he can not be rich or powerful, but he must not be without responsibility!
Jun Yan pouted, and whispered a little unwillingly: "Ah Man is a girl, how can a girl go to school?" Auntie coax Aman. ”
Although the boy's voice was small, Qiu Chen was close enough to hear it clearly. Qiu Chen heard it, and Aman naturally heard it too.
The little girl immediately had red circles in her eyes, stood up suddenly, and rushed towards Junyan with her little short legs, her little face was tense, and she didn't say anything, and she slapped Junyan on the head with a small slap!
"Alas, why are you beating me, I'm your fourth brother...... Alas, Man'er, I'm your fourth brother...... Aunt, Man'er is beating people...... "Jun Yan sighed and declared his identity again and again, but it didn't work at all. The little girl was full of anger, and at this time a fierce force came out, where was she willing to stop, the little slap on her body didn't hurt much, but she was beaten by a little girl in front of the family, and Junyan still felt very embarrassed. Well, he also knew that he was his brother and couldn't fight back, and he was afraid that Aman would fall off the kang regardless of it, so he used his two arms to protect his head and face, and at the same time, he was afraid that Aman would not dare to hide if he fell......
The little girl's fierce strength shocked Qiu Chen, the Yang family brothers and Junwen Junshu, and they didn't react for a while, until Junyan called for help, Qiu Chen suddenly woke up, hurriedly put down Ah Fu, jumped over and hugged Ah Man, and finally rescued Jun Yan!
"You girl, it's amazing, you actually beat up your brother? ......" Qiu Chen hugged Aman back, and naturally wanted to educate a few words.
Unexpectedly, before her education began, Aman called out to her mother, plunged into Qiu Chen's arms, hugged Qiu Chen's neck and cried!
When the little girl cried, Qiu Chen was dumbfounded.
Some unscrupulous uncles and second uncles were about to laugh a few words, but they were stunned by the little girl's crying, and the other leather boys could only look at each other when they saw this situation. Bitterness is Junyan, not to mention the beating, Aman cried, he almost felt that he was vomited to death.
Is it okay for him to be beaten? Why did you beat someone and cry aggrievedly first! It was as if he had bullied the little girl...... He's the one who was wronged, right?!
Seeing Junyan's bitter face, looking like he wanted to cry or not, Junwen slapped this kid's buttocks, and said with a smile: "What are you doing with a bitter face?" Seeing that Man'er was wronged by you, how old are you, and I don't know how to obey my sister...... Why don't you go and have a salute with Man'er, coax her to stop crying! ”
Junyan touched the spanked ass, twisted his body to look at Junwen, and shouted pitifully: "Big brother......"
Junwen had a cold face and scolded: "Don't go yet!" ”
Junyan turned his head to look at Junshu again: "Second brother......"
Junshu smiled, raised his hand and gave him a popping chestnut, and said, "It's done, you are the elder brother, not to mention protecting your sister, and you made her cry angrily, don't be wronged...... You still say that Man'er can't go to school, and that Man'er knows more words than you do, and memorizes more poems than you......"
Junyan originally wanted to beg for pity, but he didn't expect the eldest brother and the second brother to speak for him one by two, and he grinned aggrievedly and muttered: "You still say me, aren't you also brothers......"
"What the hell?!" When Junwen heard that he raised his hand and was about to send a slap over, Junyan trembled, and hurriedly slipped out to avoid Junwen's slap.
Pi Boy blinked his eyes, turned his head to look at the lively father and second uncle sitting in peace, and his face was bitter. Looking up again, Qiu Chen's arms were crying and muttering, "No wonder Dalong always says that the little girl is troublesome, and she cries and cries at every turn...... What a big deal, I can't finish crying......"
Qiu Chen's brows jumped slightly, he lowered his eyes without a trace, attached to his little ears, and whispered: "Man'er, it's useless for you to cry, you have to let those little girls who look down on you see, you know more than them, you are better than them to memorize poems, and you are also better at writing and telling stories than them...... Let them obey! ”
The little girl obviously understood her mother's words, and she also felt that her mother was paying attention, and crying could only make Junyan be disciplined, but her mother said that only by recognizing, reading, and writing can those people be convinced! Don't dare to say anything about the little girl can't go to school! Hum!
With careful thoughts in his heart, Man'er's cry gradually weakened.
Junyan's eldest brother and second brother didn't ask for help, and then looked at Junzhang with some reluctance. Although Junzhang is one year older than him, he is usually unconvinced, and he never calls Junzhang brother, he is isolated at this time, so he thinks that this is also his brother, he opened his mouth and called quietly: "Third brother......"
Junzhang smiled and patted Junyan on the shoulder: "Let's be brothers, we should coax my sister, go, I'll go with you to talk to Man'er." ”
As he spoke, he leaned into Junyan's ear and whispered: "Man'er likes wicker straw hats, so you can make a beautiful wicker hat for her, and bring flowers, Man'er will be fine when she is happy!" ”
As soon as he heard this, Jun Yanden felt relieved, but no, he forgot that Man'er likes wicker hats, and now he has been staring at Dalong's sister Yufeng wicker hat for a long time! Anyway, he and Junzhang are both good at climbing trees, so they can easily pull some wicker sticks on the big willow tree in the west of the village...... Wildflowers are blooming on the hillside, and there are. Tomorrow, I will follow the eldest brother and the second brother to mow the grass on the hillside, and I will get it with me. Well, when the time comes, I'll get one to wear myself, and I'll be angry and cool!
Children don't have so many restraints, they all want to cry and laugh, and when they think of fun things, they haven't coaxed them yet, and Junyan himself rejoiced first. After his mind changed, he no longer wondered whether he was wronged, and he was usually quite good at being a brother, and he was very handy at coaxing Man'er, and he didn't have a bitter face, so he came to Qiu Chen and Man'er's mother and daughter with a smile, and called Qiu Chen first: "Sister-in-law!" ”
Seeing Qiu Chen smiling at him, there was no trace of worry in his heart, and he smiled into Man'er's ear and whispered, "Sister Man'er is not crying anymore...... What, is Man'er the wicker hat of the rare jade phoenix? Man'er won't cry, tomorrow the third brother and the fourth brother will go to make it for Man'er, let's also make up good-looking flowers, better than Yufeng's old and old......"
Man'er just wanted to come over when Qiu Chen said that, but he cried too hard, he couldn't stop all of a sudden, and he was a little embarrassed to face the rest of the family, so he choked in his mother's arms, and when he heard Junyan say wicker hat, he paused, and wanted to raise his head and ask what kind of hat with flowers, but he still remembered what Junyan had just said, so he arched into Qiu Chen's arms again, twisted his small body, and turned the back of his head towards Junyan to express that his anger had not disappeared!
Junyan scratched his head, knowing that Man'er was still angry, but he really asked him to give Man'er daoqian, but he couldn't pull his face, after all, he was also a brother, how could he give such a little girl daoqian casually!
Seeing that he was at a loss, Junzhang next to him bypassed Qiu Chen, turned to the other side, raised his little hand to touch Man'er's pigtails, and said softly: "Man'er doesn't cry, your fourth brother knows that he is wrong...... Actually, your fourth brother is also very painful Man'er, no, just discussed with me, tomorrow I will go to the hillside to find beautiful flowers and weave a straw hat for Man'er! ”
When Man'er heard that he was going to pick flowers on the hillside, he couldn't hold it anymore, so he raised his little face and said, "Man'er also goes, pick flowers!" ”
Junzhang smiled at Junyan, raised his hand to wipe the tears from the corners of Man'er's eyes, and nodded again and again: "Okay, okay, when the time comes, your fourth brother and I will carry Man'er on our backs!" ”
Junyan also hurriedly came over, touched it in his hand pocket, pulled out a crumpled handkerchief, wiped the tears and snot on Man'er's face, and smoothed Man'er's messy hair with a rough hand, and said with his eyebrows: "It's fun on the mountain at this time, Man'er, when the fourth brother finds you a little Meng'er, and a spider on the ground...... That's right, that's right, today I saw that Yu'er has also grown, catch up with Ming'er, I'll give Man'er enough Yu'er to eat! ”
Looking at Jun Yan coaxing Man'er with a smile on his face, Qiu Chen looked at Yang Shuyong and Yang Shumeng, and the brothers and sisters all laughed silently. Junwen Junshu also sneered, so he stopped paying attention to a few crying and laughing, and then played with his younger brothers and sisters, and instead, listened to Qiu Chen and Yang Shumeng discuss various arrangements for the next day.
"Oh, by the way, Brother Ming'er remember to remind me, since I have to go to school, I have to make some writing desks and chairs for the children...... Let's go and see if Mancang is busy, and teach him this job when he has time! Qiu Chen pondered.
Although he saw that the Manchu family took care of the Mancang business on face, Qiu Chen really didn't think much of Lan Ying's little uncle.
Leaving her infant daughter out for more than two years, she didn't even send a letter to her family, so she returned to the county seat and opened a shop, but she didn't know how to come home to see it...... It's really blind to the Manho family, especially the Manho Niang who was so worried about it before!
Thinking of making desks, Qiu Chen remembered that modern children can adjust the height of the desk, but she only heard about it, she had never seen it, and she couldn't learn it, so she had to settle for the next best thing, and divide the size of the desk into several grades.
In order to determine the grade of the desk, Qiu Chen washed his hands and lined up several children, Junwen first, Junshu first, Junyan Junzhang first, Fu'er ...... and full of a gear.
Man'er is too young, and he can't accept such a young age student in the future, so he just won't make a grade alone, and just get a taller chair for Man'er when the time comes.
One by one, the children were pulled to the square table by Qiu Chen, and the height of the chair was measured, and the height of the table was ...... During this period, Qiu Chen also made a little joke.
Qiu Chen had the impression that the child was writing with his head slightly down, so the size of the table was slightly shorter when she first measured it, but Junshu said that he should straighten his waist when writing, Qiu Chen suddenly suddenly acted according to his subconscious impression, but he forgot that he was writing with a brush at this time, and he paid attention to the straight waist board, the sitting posture was straight, and the table was naturally inappropriate. Prepare Fu'er to make four sheets of size for Fu'er Man'er. When the private school opens, it is estimated that Shanzi and Plug will also have to come to the school. Junyan Junzhang is at this age, and the people in the village usually send their children to school at this age, and it is estimated that they will be used a lot, so Qiu Chen decided to make eight. Junshu also makes eight cards at this age, and if you can't use it now, you can use it in the future. And children of Junwen's age rarely continue to read, so there is no need to make too much, Qiu Chen is only going to make four, two of which are still going to be put in the room of the brothers and Lin Xu, so that the children can read and write after returning to the room.
The children were measured, all of them were happy and a little shy, the big children and children were all bright eyes and red cheeks, so that Qiu Chen and Yang Shumeng, who looked at them, couldn't help but rejoice.
After the toss was over, Yang Shumeng took the four boys to wash and sleep, Qiu Chen also washed Fu'er Man'er, stuffed it into the quilt, told a story to coax the two children to sleep, Qiu Chen sat on the hot kang, holding a book in his hand but didn't read it at all.
Tomorrow I will go to the county seat to ask Pan Jiaqing to talk, but the house for a private school has not yet been settled.
Originally, Qiu Chen was going to rebuild the main house after the autumn, add the second courtyard, and the bricks, stones, and wood were all set, but now it seems that he can't wait for the autumn......
No, no! In a few more days, the Huichun Hall caravan will set off to deliver medicine to the border barracks, and in these ten days, there will definitely be no way to arrange people to build houses...... Half a month later, it will be half May, and the summer harvest will be approaching. At that time, the people in the village rushed to collect summer grain, and there was no way to build a house by hand!
Well, since she is going to let the children in the village go to school, she doesn't have to do it herself! She's really on the horns again!
There was a rough arrangement in his heart, and Qiu Chen fell asleep with peace of mind.
On the second day, after having breakfast early, Yang Shuyong put on the car, Qiu Chen wore a light moonlight shirt and tied a cyan muslin dress, and Lin Xu wore a moon-blue muslin dress, packed up, and was ready to get in the car to pick up Xu Changwen and set off into the city.
Afu Aman didn't hear the news before, and now he saw that his mother and second uncle were getting in the car and preparing to go out, so he didn't do it, especially Aman's little girl, like an octopus, Qiu Chen couldn't tear it off, Junyan Junzhang said that it was not good to take her to pick flowers and pick elm money, and the little girl was holding her mother and wouldn't let go, so she had to follow to meet Mr.
Seeing that the sun was rising, it would be too late if he didn't move, Qiu Chen couldn't bear to scold the little guy, and when he turned back, he saw that Junyan Junzhang was also looking at her expectantly, but he was not like Aman playing Laipi like this, Qiu Chen gritted his teeth, beckoned Junwen to set up another car, and took Junyan Junzhang and Afu Aman with him.
Junyan Junzhang hadn't entered the city since he came to his aunt's house, and when he heard that even they could keep up, he immediately jumped up with joy.
Yang Shuyong slapped a kid and scolded with a smile: "Why don't you go wash your face and change into clean clothes?" Let Mr. see you lazy, and he won't be so angry that he won't come! ”
Junyan Junzhang was not annoyed, rubbed and spanked his ass, hehe smiled, ran into the West Chamber, washed his face and changed into clothes in the blink of an eye. Qiu Chen looked at the two brothers who were still dripping with sideburns, shook his head funny, put Aman down, waved over the two boys, and combed their hair. Junwen also took the car and came over, Qiu Chen instructed the second brother a few words, and then took the children to the car and set off.
Xu Changwen didn't have much luggage, only two boxes and a burden. Seeing Yang Shuyong and a few children struggling to carry the boxes, Qiu Chen guessed that it was estimated that these two boxes were full of books!
Because of the two cars, Qiu Chen naturally let Xu Changwen sit in the box car, Xu Changwen couldn't refuse, looked at the two children of Afu and Aman, and smiled and beckoned Lin Xu to take the two children with him.
Ah Man leaned on Qiu Chen's arms and looked at the long-bodied Yuli Xu in confusion, a little timid. Qiu Chen leaned into her little ear and whispered: "Man'er, this is your second uncle, if you want to go to school, you have to let this gentleman know that you can read and memorize poems!" ”
Originally, some little girls suddenly burst out of light in their eyes, their eyes sparkled and looked at Qiu Chen, seeing that their mother smiled and nodded at her, the little girl seemed to take a deep breath, slipped out of her mother's arms and slipped to the ground, she wrinkled her clothes in style, walked to Xu Changwen step by step, put her hands on her chest, and respectfully performed the blessing ceremony...... If you ignore the little girl's bright eyes, at first glance, it really looks like that!
Xu Changwen looked at the little girl with a smile and said in a harmonious voice: "Are you Man'er?" ”
Ah Man's face was slightly restrained as he just spoke, his big eyes were black and shiny, and he looked at Xu Changwen with a shiny look, and said, "Yes, the little name Man'er, the big name Aman!" ”
Xu Changwen was stunned for a moment, and laughed at the same time as Yang Shuyong.
Qiu Chen also smiled: "It's not early, please Mr. board the car!" ”
Xu Changwen stretched out his hand to hug Aman, nodded to Qiu Chen with a smile, stepped on the stool and got into the carriage, and Qiu Chen also got into the carriage behind. Yang Shuyong and Junwen father and son waved their horsewhips, trampled on the horse's hooves, and set off.
It was already two o'clock when we set off from Liujiaao, which is equivalent to about six o'clock in modern times, and in the fourth month of the lunar calendar, the day was obviously extended, and the sky was already bright at two o'clock.
The carriage was not loaded with a carport, and Qiu Chen put a few low stools in the bare carriage, and she was sitting on the low stool, but Junyan Junwen had already run to the wheel and sat next to Junwen. The wheel is generally a handlebar-type sitting place, some like the co-pilot of the driver's seat of a modern car, boys, have a driving dream in their hearts, and take a step deeper, that is, they have the desire to drive!
The two brothers were very excited, pointing and talking about something, and they did not forget to shout loudly from time to time to the horses, and their spirits were vivid, as if they had become generals with thousands of troops.
There was some wind in the early morning, Qiu Chen sat in the unsheltered carriage, and her sideburns were blown by the wind from time to time, and she simply took out her blue muslin handkerchief from her pocket and temporarily made a hairband to fix the messy hair.
After a staggering hour and a half, when the sun rose three poles, the two carriages finally wanted to follow into the county seat.
Xu Changwen's family lived in the east city gate, and as soon as the carriage arrived at the city gate, an old man in his fifties greeted him and shouted, "Childe!" ”
Xu Changwen got out of the carriage and stretched out his hand to support the old man who was going to give a salute: "Uncle An, don't be polite." I still have some things to do, you send your bags back first, and I'll go back when I'm done with my business. ”
The old man agreed, and he was going to carry Mr. Xu's luggage in the carriage.
Yang Shuyong said with a smile: "Sir, why don't we brother and sister go with Mr. and let Junwen rush to send this uncle and Mr. back with their luggage?" ”
Xu Changwen naturally had no objections, Lin Xu was a disciple, so he naturally wanted to go with Junwen. So, the group split into two ways, Junwen and Lin Xu went to Xu's house to deliver luggage, and Xu Changwen got out of the car and prepared to take Qiu Chen and Lin Xu to see Pan Jiaqing.
Aman was shaken and slept on the road, was picked up from the car, and was a little ignorant, when he raised his eyes to see his mother, he opened his big eyes and blinked and looked at his mother for a long time, and then said glutinously: "My mother is good-looking!" ”
Qiu Chen smiled and pinched Aman's little nose and said, "You little thing, you are dreaming of eating honey, and your little mouth is so sweet when you wake up?" ”
Ah Man grinned and hid in Qiu Chen's arms, then climbed up on Qiu Chen's shoulders, stepped on Qiu Chen's legs, and stretched out his little hand to wipe the handkerchief on Qiu Chen's head: "Mother, hair handkerchief...... Pretty! ”
Qiu Chen suddenly realized that she was surprised to wrap her hair and handkerchief. was about to tease the little girl again, when he heard Mr. Xu's clear voice next to him: "Although the little girl is young, her eyesight is excellent!" ”
Qiu Chen was stunned for a moment, and Mr. Xu, who has always been elegant and reserved, suddenly said this, which made her a little unable to react.
Yang Shuyong took over the conversation with a smile: "Mr. Xu's vision is really good, don't hide it from Mr. Xu, my little niece is spiritual, literacy and reading are stronger than a few, and now I can know dozens of words, and I am very good at reciting poems and telling stories, and sometimes, I also teach a few older children in the neighborhood......"
Speaking of his little niece, Yang Shuyong looked a little honored, and he didn't finish talking about it.
Qiu Chen heard that he was a little exaggerated and distorted, and couldn't help but laugh and stop: "Big brother, look at what you said, you have praised your precious niece and daughter as a flower...... How can there be this, you are so self-selling and boasting, and you are not afraid of Mr. Xu's jokes! ”
Xu Changwen smiled and shook his head, and Yang Shuyong didn't agree at all: "What's the joke, I'm just telling the truth, if Mr. Xu doesn't believe it, you can take the test!" ”
Xu Changwen's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he smiled at Qiu Chen and said: "Second Brother Yang has mentioned this, if this little girl is indeed as smart and clever as Second Brother Yang said, after arriving, let Brother Pan Xian take a look directly, such a smart and intelligent child, why worry that Brother Pan Xian doesn't agree to go to the museum!" ”
Listening to this, why is there a difference from what I said yesterday...... It seems that Xu Changwen himself is not sure whether Pan Jiaqing will agree to come to the Lin family to teach!
Muttering in his heart, Qiu Chen showed a layer of joy and said: "This kid just followed the second brother and me to recognize a few words, how can the eldest brother say that he is so smart as if Zi Weixing descended to earth...... However, there is still some time to go all the way, if Mr. Xu does not dislike it, please point out the child one or two, and let the child know how to answer correctly when the time comes. ”
Xu Changwen nodded very simply, without the slightest reluctance or ambiguity.
Qiu Chen put Aman on the ground, let her stand facing Xu Changwen, and taught Aman with a smile: "Aman, Mr. Xu wants to test you...... What should I do when I see him? ”
Ah Man twisted his head to look at Qiu Chen, turned his head, relied on Qiu Chen's support and was not afraid of falling, and bowed down with his hands on his chest: "Hello sir." Please sir question! ”
Mr. Xu was surprised by the little girl's standard etiquette, and then he smiled widely, nodded and said, "Okay, Fu'er, and listen well......"
Xu Changwen is indeed talented, and he has been a private school teacher for two years, so he is naturally handy for the topic of children's investigation. There was no way to write, but it was also difficult for Xu Changwen, so he casually took out a book from his arms, turned to a page casually, and pointed it to Man'er to recognize it. At the beginning, Xu Changwen pointed out that they were all simple words with a structure such as 'mountain, people, and wood', and even pointed to five or six words, and Man'er answered very, without hesitation, and it was obvious that he was familiar with it. So he nodded, and chose slightly complicated words such as 'forest, river, and river' to take the test, and this time he pointed to seven or eight in a row, and Fu'er also answered it. Xu Changwen's smile deepened a little, nodded his head and praised it, then put away the book in his hand, and began to test the school poetry. This time, instead of asking questions, he asked Man'er to recite the familiar psalms himself.
This is more familiar than literacy, Man'er is not stunned, leaning on Qiu Chen's knees, his little hands are behind his back, his small mouth is chattering, his little voice is crisp, and one catchy poem after another comes as soon as he opens his mouth.
Man'er memorized four poems in one go, Xu Changwen nodded, stopped and continued to recite Man'er, and asked with a smile: "I just heard you recite 'February spring breeze is like scissors', the spring breeze is the spring breeze, you can't touch it and can't see it, how can it be like scissors?" ”
This question is a bit deep, but Man'er didn't give up easily, frowning and tilting his head with a bitter expression.
After thinking about it for a while, he didn't think of how to answer, so he couldn't help but turn his gaze to his brother Ah Fu beside him.
Although Mr. Xu questioned Aman just now, Ah Fu also frowned and listened carefully, and muttered silently in his small mouth, as if he was following the answer. At this time, seeing that his sister turned her eyes for help to him, her small chest straightened, but she bowed to Xu Changwen with a fist, and said loudly: "Sir, the sentence 'February spring breeze is like scissors' is related to the previous sentence 'I want to ask who cut out the thin leaves', there are questions and answers...... Here 'cut' and 'scissors' are used...... Figurative. ”
When teaching this poem, Qiu Chen saw a few weeping willows sprouting under the slope, and at that time while teaching Fu'er Man'er this poem, he also explained it sentence by sentence, although Qiu Chen was a standard science student, and it didn't speak very incisively, but this poem was already shallow, and the two children also figured out the meaning of the poem in combination with the real scene. At this time, as soon as Fu'er's brother said, Man'er also recalled what her mother said when she taught them this poem.
Then he nodded and said, "Yes, that's right!" I can't listen to a sentence, the previous sentence, ask who cut out the thin leaves, there is it, the spring breeze is like scissors. ”
Man'er usually has too long sentences and is not good, but at this time, while organizing the language and answering, he is a little reluctant, the speed of speech is very slow, and he jumps out sentence by sentence, but it is coherent, but it makes Xu Changwen really believe that Yang Shuyong's praise is not fake, this little girl who is less than two years old is really rare and intelligent.
"Yes, yes, yes! Man'er is good, Fu'er is good, Lin Niangzi has taught a good pair of children! At the same time, Xu Changwen couldn't help but feel a little sorry in his heart, but it's a pity that it's a girl, if it's a boy, if he succeeds in studying, he must be the talent of the pillar of the country's security, maybe he can achieve a generation of prime ministers! It's a pity!
The little girl gets a lot of praise on weekdays, and although Mr. Xu is still happy with the praise at this time, he is rarely not carried away, and still makes a non-standard gift to Mr. Xu, and humbly thanks: "Thank you, sir...... Dot! "I can't remember the 'pointing', the little girl swallowed a word, but it is also very rare.
Xu Changwen sighed secretly again, but his eyes looked at the little girl who was full of bright lights, and nodded with a smile: "With such a smart student, even the subordinates have the heart to stay, why worry about Brother Pan Xian not admitting it!" ”
Ah Fu also bowed down to thank Mr. Xu.
Qiu Chen raised his hand to touch Fu'er, and then pulled her pigtails, and hugged her with a smile: "You girl, did you remember when my brother said it?" ”
"Mother's ......" The little girl was shy, and she didn't follow the coquettishness, and nested in her mother's arms.
Qiu Chen looked at Xu Changwen with a smile: "Sir, let's go ahead and ask, shall we?" ”
Xu Changwen nodded, took Ah Fu's little hand, and raised his hand to let Qiu Chen, and the group walk down the street.
