Chapter 664: New Year's Garden Party
Sun Jing and Sun Wanting's cries are the most useful for Sun Xiangfu alone in the Sun Mansion, and the other women, under Yu Xiuer's continuous ideological education, have already hardened their hearts, and they also feel that it is a shame that a six-year-old child can't write his name.
And now, Yu Xiuer feels that criticism and education are no longer enough to change them, and the rattan family law can play a role.
Seeing the rattan in Yu Xiuer's hand that was said to have smoked the second uncle and sister-in-law back then, the two little guys, after all, were afraid, on the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, they crookedly wrote their names with a brush, they were not stupid, they just felt that writing with a brush was not fun.
This is also the biggest happy event of the Sun Mansion this year, Sun Xiangfu feels that he can finally sleep well tonight, it seems that under this stick, not only can he produce filial piety, but also spur the children to concentrate on learning.
The master bedroom of the Sun Mansion, on the bed, a dragon and a phoenix are fighting fiercely, just when the dragon wants to rain and dew, the fire phoenix suddenly flew away, and then, a snow-white orchid girl, then rode on the dragon, under a few movements, it took the rain and dew sprayed by the dragon, and retreated satisfied.
If you want to say why this scene is happening in the room, it's not because Yu Xiu'er blames Sun Xiangfu for not doing anything at home, it's been a few months, and she hasn't seen any movement in the stomachs of those orchid concubines.
"Husband, I think Yu Zhen's kid can't teach children well, just after the New Year, send them to Chang'an and hand them over to Grandpa for discipline, now although Grandpa is a young prince, he doesn't have any actual errands, so let them go and be a companion for Grandpa."
After finishing his business, Sun Xiangfu, who thought he could sleep well, was nagged by Yu Xiu'er again, so he could only cheer up and answer.
"I still want Grandpa to live a few more years! You send these two little guys to Chang'an to toss him, maybe ······"
"Bah, don't talk nonsense, Grandpa is in good spirits now! Moreover, it is my contemporary Wenzong of the Tang Dynasty, how many people want to study under him, but they can't get it! The children will be able to make great progress after learning from Grandpa for a few years. ”
Sun Xiangfu said disapprerovingly, "I think it's better to forget it, these two children in our family are not something that grandpa can teach, they have grown up under the stimulation of various novelties since they were children, and their thoughts are different from ordinary children, do you know what their dreams are?" ”
"Dreams?"
"Oh, you can think of it as their ambition when they grow up."
"Heh, two little kids who have just learned to write their names have ambitions."
"So, I use the dream to describe it!"
"And what do they want to do?"
"One wants to study animals, the other wants to study insects."
"Let's just say they're unreliable! This is the dream of the family. ”
"Actually, it's okay, maybe, our Datang will be able to produce two experts in biology in the future!"
"Biology?"
"Well, this is a name I gave them what they wanted to study!"
"No wonder I said that they have not made much progress in their studies, it turns out that your husband is messing around with them at home, no, the children can't be spoiled by you so much, they are the eldest son and eldest daughter of our Sun family, if they grow up to be an uneducated idiot, then, our lifelong wisdom will be ruined." Yu Xiu'er said resolutely.
"Where is it so serious, this biology! It's actually a university question, and it's a field that few people in Datang have touched now, let me tell you······"
Even if Sun Xiangfu said that it was dawn, it would be impossible for Yu Xiu'er to listen to it, so there was no way, but no matter what knowledge the two little guys wanted to study in the future, the basic knowledge still had to be mastered, but fortunately, after Sun Xiangfu's efforts all night and repeated assurances, Yu Xiu'er finally agreed to leave them in Jiuyuan County to go to school.
Of course, this question also made Sun Xiangfu think a lot more and feel that he should do something.
During the Spring Festival this year, Sun Xiangfu and his family must be sent out to pay a lot of New Year's money, because as soon as the New Year passes, there will be more people who come to Sun Xiangfu to give New Year's gifts.
If the people who come to give gifts to each family return the gift, it is estimated that Uncle De will have to die of exhaustion, and in the end, Sun Xiangfu made a decision and decided to go into battle with the whole family to hold an event for the people before the festival and perform some programs! Say thank you, venue! It is directly located in the large playground of the county school, where there are usually twenty or thirty thousand students going to school, the venue is large enough, if you squeeze it, it is enough to accommodate more than 100,000 people, but now the students are on winter vacation, and it can be temporarily used as a place for the people to gather for the New Year, so Sun Dali is tired.
In half a day, this news was spread to all the towns and villages by his subordinates, and then to all the villages within an hour, and the playground of the county school began to be arranged in various ways.
Many students' desks are placed on the playground, a cart of red paper, streamers, are hung on the landscape tree or classroom windows, more than a dozen small stages are distributed in the playground larger than several football fields, all aspects of the school's facilities, are designed to meet the needs of many people, so, holding activities here, can save a lot of things, eating, toilet places, there are only one or two days of simple layout, can be completed.
Yu Xiu'er also sent a letter to Jiangling City, transferred the people from the art troupe, and asked Yu Zhen to send invitations to the eldest grandson Wuji and other officials in Jiangling City, after all, he accounted for a large part of the New Year's gifts, plus Sun Xiangfu went to other convenient plans, and these local chief officials could be present.
"Jiuyuan County New Year Garden Party?"
When the eldest grandson Wuji saw the content on the invitation, he was a little surprised. Yu Zhen brought, in the invitation, but a lot of activity content was written, and in addition, a long red scarf was given to every guest who was qualified to get the invitation.
"Yes, this garden party is an event held in our Jiuyuan County School, and all the guests who are invited to attend will be presented with a red scarf and wear it to attend, in addition to helping us add some color to this garden party, we also need to make some contributions."
"Contribute?" The eldest grandson Wuji listened to Yu Zhen's explanation and said with interest.
"Yes, the invited guests are all literate literati and officials, and they can write couplets, write posters, inscribe poems, offer songs, dances, and talents for the people of Jiuyuan County."
The couplet, since Sun Xiangfu got it out at the Spring Festival Gala in Wangjianglou in the first year of Zhenguan, has been very popular in the literati circle of the Tang Dynasty, but at present, it is only popular in the literati circle.
The eldest grandson Wuji vaguely felt the significance of this garden party, and said, "This invitation makes it clear that the guests can bring their family and friends, the more the merrier, Zhengming is afraid that he wants to take this opportunity to promote something!" ”
"Of course, it's to preach something good, you know when you go." Yu Zhen sold a pass.
"That's okay, the old man must be there on time, you seem to have a lot of invitations to give, so I won't leave you gossiping, go get busy!"
Soon, Yu Zhen went out of the yamen of the governor's mansion, and then, shuttling through the mansions of various high-ranking officials in Jiangling City, he returned to the county school after all the invitations and red scarves were delivered.
"Why, when I went to Gangneung City, I didn't even get a meal of food and drink?"
"Hehe, I have known for a long time that the school cafeteria will open a big braised pot today, so naturally I will come back to eat it with my stomach."
The school's canteen usually supplies twenty or thirty thousand students to eat, all kinds of kitchen utensils and cauldrons, the garden will be open from noon to evening on the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, Sun Xiangfu is directly on the scene, opening a buffet for the people, anyway, all kinds of ingredients, Jiuyuan County here is, all kinds of vermicelli plus braised meat, vegetables, constantly supplyed, at least to the local people to send to Sun Mansion to eat, are cooked for them to eat.
Of course, Sun Xiangfu is also ready to add some additions, such as boiling pork bones in the soup, Sun Xiangfu added some ginseng that the people can't usually eat, and among the braised meat, there are also venison that they can't usually eat, as well as the meat of various beasts, but the Northeast specialties sent by Cheng Mingzhen, the governor of Heishui, and Zhang Jian, the governor of Dongyi, were transferred to the local people.
If you want to say why the two of them thought of giving Sun Xiangfu a New Year's gift, of course, it was because they had received a letter from Sun Xiangfu early in the morning to receive the students of the College of Agriculture after the ice and snow melted next year, and to develop agricultural projects in the past.
The aroma of all kinds of meat cooked in the cauldron, not to mention Yu Zhen, even Sun Xiangfu couldn't resist it, he also picked a lot of dishes, sat down and said while eating, "How are the students I asked you to select, how are they prepared, when the time comes, you have to let those guests see the talents cultivated by our Jiuyuan County School." ”
"Don't worry! They were stunned for a moment, but in this case, there are only a lot of students from other states and counties who want to come to school next year. ”
"Children who are not in this county can't be accepted for the time being, and they can't be taught, as long as those guests see the awesomeness of the children cultivated by our current education system, it's enough."
Taking the opportunity to thank the people, by the way, plugging up the private goods of reforming education, is Sun Xiangfu's purpose, these days and nights have been nagged by Yu Xiuer continuously, but he has to think about this problem, at present, Datang's education system has been rolled out across the country, but the content of teaching, in Sun Xiangfu's view, is still too backward, and the knowledge learned cannot cope with the various problems that Datang will face in the future.
Previously, Li Shimin took all the textbooks in Jiuyuan County back, but there was no movement after that, Sun Xiangfu knew that education was a fundamental matter related to the country, and he was not sure enough, Li Shimin did not dare to make a big move, so he could only sacrifice the old routine, let everyone see the precedent first, and then, they would naturally follow up.
Yu Zhen, who was feasting on it, heard Sun Xiangfu say this, and wondered, "Then let's just show it?" ”
Who knew that Sun Xiangfu heard him say this, but he nodded and said, "Yes, it's a show." ”
Sun Xiangfu does not want to set off any cultural and school battles, he just wants others to see the power of these new knowledge, and if they want to learn, they will find a way to learn, and when they learn, they can naturally appreciate the benefits of these new knowledge to themselves, and when more and more people want to learn these useful knowledge, it will naturally promote the reform of education.
As for those who are conservative and don't learn, they will find that their abilities are becoming more and more insufficient, and eventually they can't keep up with this era and are naturally eliminated.
