Chapter 28: The Literacy Issue
Jia Baoyu was also quite surprised when he heard that Jia Zheng was going to hire a Hanlin teacher for him.
The so-called Hanlin was selected from the new Jinshi, and each of them was the best among the previous Jinshi.
The Hanlin Academy, majoring in national history, also lecturing on scripture history and drafting edicts, is the cradle of scholars.
He said that he wanted a smart Xixi, Jia Zheng immediately thought of the Hanlin Academy, and I have to say that Jia Zheng wants Jackie Chan's mind to be very heavy!
You must know that the Hanlin bachelors and Hanlin attendants who teach scripture and history are qualified to teach the princes.
Of course, this configuration is too high, but Jia Baoyu thinks that it is completely unnecessary......
"Master Rong Bing, the child is still young, and his knowledge foundation is shallow, so he doesn't dare to ask his father to deign to ask for such a famous teacher for his child."
Listening to Jia Zheng's tone, Hanlin, who is good friends with him, must be an old pedant, and it is definitely not very pleasant to deal with such a person.
Jia Zheng glanced at Jia Baoyu and made sure that Jia Baoyu was not talking casually, so he said: "This matter is settled, you don't have to go to study at home for the time being, take out the four books at home and study them carefully, wait for a while, and I will finish this matter."
Here are a few questions I have prepared, and you will answer them after you take them, and hand them over to me before this hour tomorrow. ”
Jia Zheng took a paper manuscript from the small table and handed it to Jia Baoyu, and then asked him to go down.
After Jia Baoyu left, Jia Zheng said to Mrs. Wang: "There is an independent small courtyard to the east of Mengpo Zhai, which is suitable for use as a school, you should let people clean it up as soon as possible." ”
Jia Zheng had already decided, and Mrs. Wang no longer objected, and nodded in response.
Jia Zheng said again: "Although Lan'er is a young child, he is diligent in his studies, since he wants to hire Xibin, it is better to let Lan'er and Baoyu study together." ”
"But it's up to the lord to decide."
"And Huan'er ......"
Mrs. Wang heard Jia Zheng mention Jia Huan, and the boss felt uncomfortable, because she said: "If it is reasonable, you should let Huan'er and Baoyu go to school together, but Huan'er, this kid has been stubborn since he was a child, I'm just afraid that he will mess around in the school, and it will be bad for Mr. ”
Jia Zheng raised his eyes and glanced at Mrs. Wang, and said, "Since you are stubborn, you should discipline it well." If he really doesn't grow at all after he goes to school, then he will talk about something else. ”
When Mrs. Wang heard this, she had to say, "Since the master has made up his mind, then I will prepare three bundles." ”
"Hmm." Jia Zheng nodded and stroked his beard.
......
"Second master, I heard that the master went to find you?"
"Hmm."
After returning to the house, in response to the attacker's words, Jia Baoyu sat down behind his bookcase and unfolded the test questions given by Jia Zheng.
"For what?"
"It's nothing, the lord said that he would hire a teacher for me to teach me to read."
Jia Baoyu casually replied to the attacker's words, and then instructed: "You help me find out the "Commentary on the Four Books" and the "New Interpretation of the Analects" that I read before. ”
Jia Zheng gave him a total of seven test questions, all of which were about the four books. Although it doesn't seem to be difficult, Jia Baoyu has not systematically studied the four books after all, and if he answers it so emptyly, there will probably be a lot of mistakes, omissions and inconsistencies.
Since Jia Zheng didn't ask him to answer on the spot, but took it back, that is the meaning of allowing him to turn the book, as long as he does not copy according to the explanations and evidence of his predecessors in the end, and can have a little bit of his own opinion, he can achieve the effect of teaching and examination.
After waiting for a while, Jia Baoyu looked up and saw a few maids, you look at me, I look at you, they didn't move.
The attacker said, "I can't read. ”
Musk Moon said, "Me too. ”
Xiangling next to her hurriedly nodded in agreement.
At this time, Qingwen walked in, and when she saw everyone looking at her, she immediately said, "I can't read either." ”
Jia Baoyu opened her mouth and faced a room of beautiful maids, not knowing what to say.
How can they all be illiterate?
He remembered that many of the maids in the Red Mansion were literate.
The golden mandarin duck beside Jia's mother, who is not only literate, but also feels that he is also literate and knowledgeable, how could he be illiterate in his house?
"From today onwards, Young Master Ben, I will teach you how to read!"
Jia Baoyu said loudly.
I said that the red sleeves and incense read at night, I don't even know the words, and I can't find a book if I want to find it, so what's the use of standing next to it? I'm afraid it won't be a while before I go to bed......
"We still have to do work, but we don't have time to get that, and it's useless if we learn it." ”
Qingwen was more direct: "I don't learn." ”
Musk Yue said: "The second master should forget it, we haven't been able to read for so many years, but we don't dare to let the second master waste his efforts to teach us." ”
Xiangling blinked and didn't speak.
Jia Baoyu suddenly felt deeply shocked. He thought that he would make them excited and grateful when he said that......
A group of unmotivated little!
"I have made up my mind, but I can't help you, you have to learn, you have to learn, you have to learn if you don't learn! Otherwise, the family law serves. ”
Hearing Jia Baoyu's insistence, the attacker immediately smiled: "Why does the second master have to let us learn this, I heard that it takes a lot of effort to read and write, why should the second master embarrass us?" Besides, the second master is going to school and study soon, how can he have so much time to teach us. ”
Listening to their repeated shirks and the word embarrassed, Jia Baoyu finally realized what kind of stupid students he would face in the future.
Do you really want to start teaching from "one, two, three"?
Qingwen said: "Family law? What is the family law that the second master said, is it that in the second master's house, he has to be punished for doing errands? ”
As a newcomer, Qingwen said that she attaches great importance to this.
She is so thin and tender, she can't stand the board.
was interrupted by Qingwen like this, and Musk Yue and Xiangling immediately paid attention.
"Yes, what is the family law that the second master said, I haven't heard the second master say it before?"
Only the attacker blushed and didn't overdo it. She remembered that on the night she came back from the Dongfu Garden, when she served Jia Baoyu and got up at night, because of "disobedience to discipline", she had heard the word family law from Jia Baoyu's mouth.
So, she involuntarily covered her buttocks.
Facing the maid's questioning, Jia Baoyu said: "What is this......"
"What are you talking about, Baoyu has been taught a lesson by his uncle again?"
Without waiting for Jia Baoyu to explain, Daiyu took Zijuan into the house.
Musk Yue replied: "Just now Second Master Bao said that he wanted to teach us to read and write, and also said that if we don't learn, we will use the family law." ”
Daiyu smiled: "He, it is estimated that he was subjected to family law by his uncle, so he came to you to be majestic, giggle." ”
Facing Daiyu's quip, Jia Baoyu also smiled. asked Xiangling to pour tea, and asked Daiyu where she came from.
Zijuan said: "Our girl heard that Second Master Bao was called by the master, so she came to see Second Master Bao." ”
When they heard this, they all laughed.
Daiyu and Jia Baoyu have been close since childhood, and Jia Baoyu is easy to be taught by Jia Zheng, so every time Jia Baoyu is called over by Jia Zheng, Daiyu will be a little worried.
Daiyu was dissatisfied with Zijuan betraying her, glared at her, and then secretly glanced at Jia Baoyu, turned her face slightly, and said, "Since you are fine, then I will leave." ”
Since receiving Jia Baoyu's love poems a few days ago, Daiyu has been ashamed, happy and afraid.
is ashamed that Jia Baoyu actually wrote love poems to her as in the play. Naturally, Jia Baoyu cares about her so much in her heart, and wrote such an ingenious, simple and straightforward poem for her.
But she was also worried that if someone else found out about it, she would be accused of giving and receiving it privately and not abiding by the etiquette law.
Therefore, in the past few days, she has secretly taken out Jia Baoyu's manuscript to look at it, and even made up her mind to burn it several times.
But she was reluctant, she thought: Even if someone else takes something away, they may not understand the meaning, just like herself, she didn't understand it at first, but she can only understand it after Baoyu prompts her.
Even if others understand, there is no payment in it. What's more, there are so many typos, as long as I don't talk to Brother Bao, no one should be able to talk about it......
She is a sentimental person, and she has been thinking about that poem for the past few days, thinking about the matter between her and Jia Baoyu, and she is almost stunned.
She didn't dare to take the initiative to find Jia Baoyu, but as soon as she heard that Jia Baoyu was called over by Jia Zheng just now, it was difficult to be indifferent, so Zijuan inquired about Jia Baoyu's news, and when she heard him return to the house, she immediately moved over.
In the past, she often sat in Jia Baoyu's house, but today she feels very uncomfortable in this house. Especially after Zijuan broke her heart, she felt even more embarrassed to stay for a moment.
So turn around and leave.
Jia Baoyu grabbed her hand and said, "Sister Lin, don't be in a hurry to leave, I have something to discuss with my sister." ”
"What's the matter?"
"I want to find a few disciples for my sister, I don't know if my sister will accept it?"
Disciple? Daiyu turned around, her eyes rolled, and said, "It's them?" ”
Jia Baoyu nodded.
Daiyu pouted: "Why don't you teach it yourself?" ”
Dai Yuxin said, teaching illiterate people to read is the most troublesome and boring, is it that Brother Bao is afraid of trouble, so he threw it to me?
"Originally, I wanted to teach them by myself, but Sister Lin, you forgot, I still can't write a lot of words myself!"
"Giggle~~"
Daiyu laughed when she heard this. Jia Baoyu continued: "So, I want to ask Sister Lin to come over every day and teach us how to write. My lord has already decided to hire me as a private schoolman, and if he finds out that I can't even write, it will be a big joke! ”
"You're going to school?"
"Well, that's what Master Fang came to me for."
Daiyu frowned and thought for a while, and said, "Since this is the case, you have to memorize all the words quickly, otherwise...... I don't know if it's too late, did my uncle say how long it will take for you to go to school? ”
Seeing that Daiyu was nervous, Jia Baoyu was in a happy mood. This girl who is beautiful and beautiful belongs to herself!
"Don't worry about this, the old man hasn't even told him who Mr. is, and it will probably take a while. Besides, I have a famous teacher like Sister Lin, but in two or three days, I memorized all the words. ”
Daiyu glanced at Jia Baoyu and thought for a while: "In this case, I am free today, you first write the words on the "Thousand Character Text" and see what words you have forgotten." ”
I didn't expect Daiyu to have a resolute side.
"Then these disciples, do you accept them?" Jia Baoyu pointed to the attacker.
Daiyu said: "In Yangzhou before, when my father asked my husband to enlighten me, Snow Goose was my companion. If you want to teach them to read, I can let Snow Goose teach them. ”
I don't bother to do such a thing as teaching a stupid girl to read!
Hearing Daiyu say this, what opinion can Jia Baoyu have, with a wave of his little hand, he ordered a few attackers: "A few of you will be ready to tie up today, and I will invite the snow goose girl over tomorrow morning, and you will officially learn the arts."
You are not allowed to push and shove, and half an hour in the morning and evening every day will not delay your other affairs.
In view of the fact that Xiangling and Qingwen are newcomers, I helped them cushion their shares, and I will pay me back after taking the monthly money. ”
Hearing Jia Baoyu being so stingy, Qingwen suddenly said: "I don't need you to pad, I have my own money!" ”
Jia Baoyu said: "Okay, Qingwen is a rich person, let her give her your share." ”
