【442】Celebrate the festival together (two watches)
Qin Shuang and Ah Chen don't have a good impression of most of the people in Tongfu Village, but it doesn't mean that they have to restrict the next generation of Tongfu Village from having a better development.
With her and Ah Chen's current status, as long as the people of Tongfu Village have a little brain, they will not be able to control their next generation and make enemies against them, and even want to follow in the footsteps of the Liu family and say something that should not be said, as long as these next generations do not provoke them in the future, she will not have to go against Tongfu Village.
In the final analysis, except for the Chen family and the Qin family and other people who have left, even if the others have gossiped about her, they have not caused much actual harm to her, and it is the Qin family that really makes the original body live badly.
However, it is clear that there is also a academy in the county, but he still wants to come to Ruyi Private School to study, and Qin Shuang does not want to accommodate.
She has no prejudice against the next generation, but they are not too far from the Ruyi private school, and the people in the village have to come and walk around from time to time in order to pick up the children.
Therefore, after listening to Xuanshen explain the village chief's request, although Qin Shuang did not say that he would refuse the other party, he did not intend to agree to stuff the people of Tongfu Village into the Ruyi private school so easily.
As long as the situation of their private school is stable this year, and the students can definitely learn a lot, next year, this new teaching method can be promoted by the emperor to the whole country.
Didn't the village chief just think that the things taught in the Ruyi private school were more useful, so he wanted to stuff the children in? If there are many similar private schools in China in the future, and the larger ones will simply become officially run academies, and these academies can also hire more people from all walks of life to be gentlemen, and they can learn more, and the children of Tongfu Village can go directly to the official academies, so there is no need to come to Ruyi private schools, right?
It is true that the students of the official academy cannot have the privilege of entering Ruyizhuang first, but as long as they succeed in their studies, they can also have a good money in the future, if so, the village chief only wants to stuff the children in the village into the Ruyi private school, then she has to think about it, is it trying to do something, for example, really want to rely on the parents to pick up and drop off their children and Ruyizhuang again?
The official academy can be launched in a year at most, and the village chief can't afford to wait for only one year, right? The next generation of children will not ruin their future because they have not learned anything for a year, and if they want to learn more things earlier, they can also send people to other academies to read and write first this year.
This time, Xuan Shen didn't go to Tongfu Village again, he has a lot of things to do as a big housekeeper, and he doesn't have to go out in person for non-very important things, just send someone from the second group of the village to notify the village chief.
After that, the village chief probably understood what Qin Shuang meant, and didn't say anything to their people.
In order to make the official academy open as soon as possible, Qin Shuang also began to secretly set up miniature cameras in each classroom to record the content of the students' classes, and prepared to send a copy to the emperor and the projector when he had time, so that he and the ministers could take a look, no matter how much they explained, it was better to see it with their own eyes, as long as they saw the students' different mental outlook from ordinary children, without her and Ah Chen's special reminder, the emperor would also know what to do to be most beneficial to the Xuantian Kingdom.
Before I knew it, the private school class had been going on for more than half a month.
In the past half a month, all the students have made great progress in their studies, first of all, the little radish heads of the enlightenment in the small class, although they can't write, but they can also recognize at least dozens of words, two or three simple words a day is always not difficult, and most of the numbers from one to one hundred can be counted.
For example, Tuan Tuan Yuan is already able to do simple addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, far ahead of other children, even the older children in the kindergarten class who are two years older than them.
I can also memorize a lot of the Three Character Sutra, and even some simple stories can be told by some smart children.
The gains are even greater in the middle and large classes.
Illiterate students can read and write at least 300 commonly used words, and can rely on these words to make relatively short essays, or small diaries, which are considered to be class assignments left every day in Chinese class, no matter how long or short, one diary a day.
Pinyin has also been learned, as long as the pinyin is marked, even if any word can not be remembered immediately, it can also be read fluently, other literate students will also do an argumentative essay every three days, narrative form of vernacular essay, occasionally they will spontaneously do some argumentative essay form of strategy, of course, this kind of is often themselves ready for the imperial examination, has been familiar with the four books and five classics, seeking a breakthrough of individual large class students, aged about sixteen or seventeen, have become a family, In a private school, you can study at most and graduate.
At that time, with some new ideas newly learned here, such as philosophical stories in Chinese textbooks and a few political stories, I can also achieve quite good results in the imperial examination.
In terms of mathematics, all the students are now able to calculate some accounts simply, especially those accounts that are basically the needs of ordinary bookkeepers, and they can even go out to do the accounts immediately!
Other elective courses such as recognizing medicinal materials, recognizing acupuncture points, looking, smelling, asking, cutting, making some easy-to-make side dishes, etc., are quite good, in physical education class, all the female students have been able to run down ten laps, and have learned a set of the simplest military boxing, it is still early to understand it, but at least the results are there, anyone can see it, and the two sides can also simply pass the moves, these are more than half a month ago They simply can't imagine that they can do it.
Xuantianfang, who opened a special course for Xiaozao alone, has already learned three sets of military boxing or grappling, and will practice several times every morning and evening, and the harvest is not comparable to other students.
As the students learned more and learned more, their interest in all the courses was at an all-time high, and many students even missed the course a few days after the course started
A few days later, I didn't take one or two additional elective courses, not for credit, just to learn more!
However, because the Chinese New Year is approaching, Ruyizhuang has begun to buy New Year's goods, and it is time for the private school to take a holiday.
No matter how enthusiastic you are about learning, you can only go home first to prepare for the holidays.
Homework for each course must be indispensable, and it must be ensured that these students will not go home for the New Year and forget all the things they have learned, if someone is diligent enough to learn, most of the month's vacation, except for a small part of the holiday to visit relatives and rest time, is enough for them to learn some more content that has not been talked about later.
It is also because of the special situation this time, Qin Shuang deliberately gave them special treatment for special circumstances, although they did not attend classes for a full month, they let all the students take a test two days before the holiday, which was regarded as their first monthly exam since they entered the school, and more importantly, let them get the scholarship for the first time before the holiday.
Because there were many subjects, the exam took a whole day, and it took another day to calculate the score ranking, and on the day of the holiday, all the students were gathered in the main hall, the report card was announced, and the printed report card was distributed to everyone At the same time, Qin Shuang and Ah Chen personally distributed scholarships to the top students.
For the sake of fairness, the content of the examination papers is different for those who are illiterate and those who are literate, but if it is easy to pick up, it is absolutely equal according to the system test, and therefore, the scholarship is also issued separately to avoid students on either side of the student to feel unfair.
On the contrary, just as Yizhuang is not bad for money, it doesn't matter if you send more incentives to motivate students.
The top five students on the illiterate side received the scholarship from Qin Shuang or Ah Chen, respectively, and opened the small money bag to see that it was either five taels or three taels, even if the last fifth was only three hundred Wen, they all showed joy from the bottom of their hearts.
This is the first time they have relied on their own ability to get so much money! Some of the three or five taels of silver are more than the work of their parents in the family!
The students who got the scholarship held the money in their hands, and a lingering sense of accomplishment was born in their hearts, and this sense of achievement also made them more and more determined to continue to work hard in the future, strive to get a scholarship in every exam, help the family and save money for the dowry/dowry at the same time!
That's right, the second place among these students who won scholarships in the large class was a female student! Three taels of silver, if she can rank second every month, she can save all her dowry money before graduation!
There are three of the top five students in the literacy class from the capital, and two are from Qingyuan Mansion, although for them, three or five taels of silver is not much, and it may not be enough for them to buy themselves a gadget, but relying on their own studies to get this money, the meaning to them is also very special, everyone is very happy and careful to put away the money bag, and plan to keep the money and money bag for collection, as a souvenir!
If I send a letter to my father and mother at home, if I let the elders know that I have achieved good results in the private school of the crown prince and the crown princess, and they have personally given them scholarships, I will definitely be very happy, and maybe I can give them a lot of additional rewards!
If you don't have enough money to spend, you can spend what your family gives, and the scholarship must be kept!
However, since entering the Ruyi private school, they really don't have much opportunity to go out and spend money, the price of Liangyi County is not as high as the capital, they have seen a lot of good things, there is no shortage of food and drink in the private school, clothes can only wear school uniforms, and there is no chance to wear other clothes, so they don't know what to buy when they buy things, food, and the food outside is not as good as Ruyizhuang.
If you buy a lot of things, it's probably a little local specialty that you are going to send home.
The first and second places in the middle class are Xuan Tianfang and Wen Yu, and like everyone else, the scholarship is ready to be treasured and has no intention of spending it.
Speaking of these two people, Xuan Tianfang didn't say it first, Wen Yu is currently quite valued by Hehuan, and even Qin Shuang is very optimistic about Wen Yu.
There is no other reason, just because Wen Yu's talent in medicine is very eye-catching, whether it is dialectic, acupuncture, or diagnostic classes, his grades are far ahead of other students, and even when Hehuan and Baizhu have not yet talked about the later courses, he can learn by himself first, and then he will be more integrated when he talks about it.
To put it bluntly, this is a good seedling who was born to study medicine! If you are not a doctor, you are blind to this talent!
Hehuan, who has a weak temperament, will not show too much affection even in the face of Feng Xian, and he took the initiative to mention it to Qin Shuang, and he intends to accept Wenyu as an apprentice.
Hehuan and Baizhu can also be regarded as Qin Shuang's apprentices, if Wen Yu becomes Hehuan's apprentices...... Isn't he her apprentice? cough, an apprentice grandson who is only ** years old behind her, well, in fact, it doesn't matter, the important thing is that she also thinks it's a good idea to cultivate Wenyu well.
The apprentice is still an apprentice and a grandson, and she will continue to wait and see in the next few years, and there is no need to rush to make a conclusion, but there is one thing she can confirm, that is, Wen Yu is not only very talented in medicine, but also in terms of teaching and educating people, with Wen Yu's own elegant and quiet temperament, it is also very suitable.
In the future, if Wen Yu is interested, he can also be a gentleman to teach more children who are interested in medicine to embark on this path.
After the scholarships and transcripts were distributed, the children who did not live in the school went home to prepare for the New Year, and those who were not too far away from the family were still in Qingyuan Mansion or surrounding prefectures and counties, and the dormitories simply packed their luggage, and the families who had already received the news also sent their family carriages to pick up people early.
In the end, the only ones left were the students in the capital, who were too far away, and they would consume almost all the time back and forth.
Fortunately, some of the families of these students are reluctant to let them spend the New Year alone outside, and it is said that there are already relatives rushing here, ready to accompany their children to celebrate the New Year in Liangyi County, and the rest of the elders can only regret to spend the first year without relatives in Ruyi Private School
with about the year.
Of course, Qin Shuang will not treat these little poor people badly, these children of the family to tell the truth, even if they go back to the capital for the New Year, they may not be able to make the New Year more lively and happy, and they can't go back, it is better to divert their attention, let them forget about those who are unhappy, and also experience the fresh feeling of celebrating the New Year with dozens of classmates, as well as the fun of buying New Year's goods in person.
In the past, they must have housekeepers and servants at home to buy New Year's goods, they are only responsible for eating and using, where can they know the fun of this kind of big purchase?
In Liangyi County, you don't have to pay too much attention to the façade of the children of the family, don't you see that even Qin Shuang and Ah Chen, who are the crown prince and princess, also went out to buy things in person with a reunion and a very down-to-earth reunion, and ate some food bought by small vendors on the roadside?
Even if some people can't let go at first, as more and more things are bought later, a group of half-grown boys and ladies are also going crazy, and the county town is very lively when the New Year is approaching, and there are many small stalls of all kinds, which are dizzying.
By the time they had bought what they needed to buy and were ready to go back, almost all of the students had no spare hands, carrying snacks bought on the side of the road in their left hand and various gadgets they bought from a shop in their right hand, and their faces were filled with a bright smile that they would never have shown when they were in the capital.
After returning to the private school, in order to have a good New Year, they also had to roll up their sleeves and tidy up the dormitory, clean the yard and classroom, paste the word Fu on the dormitory window, hang red lanterns, etc., and the preparations for the New Year were new to them.
Will be busy with the preparations for the New Year for a few days, who remembers the sentimentality of not being able to celebrate the New Year with their families? Even if they go back to celebrate the New Year with their families, the court officials only have a two-day holiday for the New Year, and they have to receive all kinds of relatives and friends for a few days off.
Happy? Not.
Since the New Year at home may not be able to have much fun with the family, but the food and drink may be richer than usual, it is better to be happy and busy with your classmates here, although some of the work is a little tired, if they were in the past, they would not have done these things at all, in the words of Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess, it is - just want to be happy! What's wrong!
When it was time to eat the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Qin Shuang was ready to let them make dumplings by hand! It doesn't matter if you can do it well or not, how it tastes, it's a joy to eat! When the time comes, stuff another copper plate into the dumplings, and whoever eats it will be luckier next year and succeed in school! What a good sign!
