Jiang Li seemed to have just woken up from a dream, "Ah", and let go of his hand in a panic, "Happy New Year, sister." There was also a panic in his voice.

"Little sister, cousin, are you awake?" Cai Xinlan heard the voice, looked back, and saw that the two children had already climbed up, "Eh, wait, get dressed first, don't catch a cold." Instructed Caixia Cairui to serve, walked to the other end, and shook Brother Chao'er, who hadn't woken up yet, "Get up, Brother Chao, today is the first day of the New Year, you are not allowed to sleep lazy, you have to be a lazy man all year round." ”

"Lazy people, lazy people, no clothes and no meals." Liu Qin sang a song and amused everyone with a grimace, only Brother Chao was not convinced, rubbed his eyes and cocked his buttocks, and sat up from the quilt at once, shouting: "Uncle is a lazy man, uncle is a lazy man." ”

provoked everyone to laugh again, the laughter wafted in Liufu, this joyful love is also contagious, not long after, Liufu is full of noise, laughter, congratulations. Old Man Liu's father and son, who had been sitting in the small study all night, seemed to be infected by this joy, loosened their frowning brows, covered the sadness in their eyes, and temporarily put down the old things of the past years, cheered up, and Master Liu stepped out, and his steps became firm and steady again.

During the Spring Festival, not only the laughter and laughter of Liufu, but also the whole Wucheng has become a sea of joy, playing dragon lanterns, lion dances, stepping on stilts, rowing colorful lotus boats, and the sound of firecrackers everywhere, congratulations and blessings continue. On the night of the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first month, this grand occasion has reached a **, all kinds of lanterns on the street can not be seen at a glance, reflecting Wucheng as if it were a daytime, all the families are basically the whole family, helping the old and the young, going to the street to see the lanterns, enjoying the night view, and then eating a bowl of hot Lantern Festival at the stall, as if only in this way, this year can be regarded as a complete life.

However, Liu Qin did not personally experience this kind of liveliness, on the night of the Lantern Festival, Master Liu wanted to represent the government to invite those respected elders in Wucheng to entertain them, in order to show the joy of the officials and the people, Uncle Liu naturally had to accompany him, and no one took a few little babies, and the old lady was worried that the street was not safe, so she did not let them go to the street.

Jiang Li saw Liu Qin's unhappy appearance, leaned into her ear and whispered: "Sister, when my brother grows up, take you there, my brother will take you wherever you want." ”

Liu Qin's eyes lit up, "Words must be counted." ”

"Hmm." The two children pulled the hook and made a wish, and it would not change for a hundred years.

On the sixteenth day of the first month, the days were finally on the right track, and Liu Qin and the others also ushered in their second teacher, Master Zhou.

This time, it was Master Liu who took the three children to see the master, and entered the Xuanlu, Master Zhou was already waiting there, and Master Zhou, who was dressed in a green cloth robe, looked much more energetic than last time, he held a book in one hand, and put the other hand behind him, pacing and whispering Oh, his body was long, thin but not weak, his face was white and beardless, and there were no injuries on his face, which was more delicate.

Seeing that Master Liu was coming, Master Zhou also dressed up before he came out, saluted and invited Master Liu in, and served tea with his own small house, and the two of them exchanged a few polite words, and then officially entered the topic.

Liu Qin and the three of them knelt on the ground according to the salute of the teacher, kowtowed and toasted the tea, and ended the ceremony in the always gentle and calm gaze of Master Zhou.

Perhaps "Mr. dies first" has too much impact on them, and "sir" has become a taboo in the house, so the three children call the master "teacher" in unison as if they had made an appointment.

Master Liu knew the reason, and he didn't break it, he only smiled and stroked his beard and smiled: "Since the three of you have worshiped the teacher, you should learn from the teacher, Qin'er, you are not allowed to fish for three days and dry the nets for two days, if you are naughty and disobedient, let the teacher beat you." ”

"Got it, Daddy."

Seeing that Liu Qin answered quickly, Master Liu was very satisfied, turned his head and said a few words to Master Zhou, and then went out of the house to go to the yamen.

Zhou Fuzi did not give a lecture immediately, but asked the three of them to introduce their own learning, such as how many words they recognized, how many books they read, which ones were taught by the teacher, which ones they read, etc., asked in detail, and after asking, they also took the test one by one, and the content of the school was not only an endorsement, but also a big word for each person.

In the end, the situation of the three of them was clear, and Zhou Fuzi made a summary, "Well, the situation of the three of you is basically understood by the teacher, Liu Qin and Wen Hai have both finished learning the "Analects", and the foundation is almost the same, so they will learn together, Jiang Li learns quickly, and the teacher will give you a lecture alone, from tomorrow, prepare this arrangement for the teacher, first talk about a pillar of incense's "Three Hundred Ancient Poems", Jiang Li can listen, you can also read and practice words, after resting half a pillar of incense, for Jiang Li to talk about a pillar and a half incense of "Historical Records", the two of you will learn the homework assigned by the teacher, After resting for half a pillar of incense, the teacher turned back and continued to talk about "Three Hundred Ancient Poems", Jiang Li did his homework, I don't know if this arrangement, do you think it is feasible? ”

Okay, it's too good, Liu Qin nodded violently, I didn't expect that Master Zhou is really a good teacher this week, he knows how to teach according to his aptitude, and he also knows how to combine work and rest, he is really a talent, well, it was not saved in vain.

Seeing that the three of them nodded in agreement, Master Zhou still asked gently: "If you have ideas, you can also put them forward, as long as they are reasonable, they will be considered by the teacher." ”

Liu Qin saw that Master Zhou didn't have any arrogance at all, and was completely different from Mr. Zhang, so he didn't feel bolder, and couldn't help but stretch out his hand and point to Changxing, Dongxiang and Cuiyu in the outer room, "Teacher, can you let them also come to listen to the teacher's lecture, they have nothing to do while they wait, it is better to learn to read and write with us." ”

In the Han Kingdom, not all families have the ability to read and learn words, most of the people who go to school are the children of official families, paving the way for the future officialdom to enter the office, those who do business to get rich, there are not many people who take the official career, although the Han Kingdom also follows the hierarchy of "Shinong Industry and Commerce", but the status of business is not as low as in the previous life, and there is no such thing as a cheap business, and the children of merchants can also enter the office, but because of such an environment, there are not many sons of rich businessmen to take this road, the reason is naturally that this road is too hard, Those children of wealthy families grew up in golden and silver nests since they were children, and they don't need to rely on being officials to improve their status, so why bother squeezing this single-plank bridge.

Therefore, although the wealthy family also has a family study, it is mostly to learn the way of business and financial management. When it comes to ordinary people, just enough food and clothing, who has the spare money to send their children to learn something that is useless, it is better to learn the craft, unless a farming and reading family like Zhou Fuzi, no matter how difficult and poor it is, will also let the child go to school.

Dongxiang and Cuiyu are the children of poor families in the surrounding villages, they can't even eat, otherwise they won't sell their sons and daughters, and studying is naturally something they don't even dare to think about, only Changxing was Jiang Li's scholar, and he has been by Jiang Li's side since he was a child, and he has learned a lot after listening to it.

When Zhou Fuzi heard Liu Qin say this, he couldn't help but be stunned, and even Jiang Li looked at her puzzled. You must know that the class concept in the Han State is still very strong, and the servants are inferior to the ordinary people, if you can still get food and clothing in the family of Jishan, you can be decent if you mix well, if you are in a family with heavy and strict rules, you will have to be beaten and scolded often, and even beaten to death is like killing a livestock in the family, and you can do it with some money.

They were all sold into the mansion in this Dongxiang, Liufu has their deed of sale, and the master has the final say if he wants to fight and kill, and if he wants to resell, although the lord of Liufu is a good person, but when it comes to letting these slaves read and write together with the master's family, no one has thought about it, Liu Qinzhi's mention can be said to be a precedent, and it really surprised Master Zhou.
