Chapter 40 Studying for the sake of pork soup
In ancient times, there was no history of encouraging women to read, but there was no objection to women reading, and there were many talented women in the Tang Dynasty, such as Shangguan Wan'er was one of them.
However, movable type printing was not invented during the Tang Dynasty, and the high cost of engraving printing, coupled with the cost of paper, people who could afford to read books were rich people, and ordinary people could not afford to read books at all.
Even if the village school in Shanghe Village is free, the cost of paper, books, pen and ink can be paid by yourself, and these expenses will crush a well-off family.
This is also after the Tian family got the consistent money, it was clear that the family would follow the promotion, so that she saw the hope of making a fortune, and she dared to send Zhang Shi to the village to learn Mengxue.
If this is not the case, who among ordinary people has the money to send their children to school?
In order to provide for the elderly Gao Ping to study, the old man and the old lady not only had to farm when they were old, but also had to weave dustpans and bamboo baskets to sell in the village and city to subsidize the family when they were not working.
For the sake of the cost of the three grandchildren's education, he would rather agree to exchange his granddaughter for money, such a ridiculous thing The old man almost agreed, and even the old lady acquiesced, so she got ahead for her studies.
In this era, wanting to study is an extremely luxurious thing for ordinary people.
Fortunately, the Tang Dynasty was opened, and women wanted to go to school, as long as the family was enough to support the valuable expenses, no one objected.
At this moment, Gao Sheng can fully afford his daughter's education expenses, but Gao Yue's grade is too young, and he is a little worried about Gao Yue's safety.
"Yaya, why do you want to learn?"
As soon as Gao Sheng's words came out, he felt that he really had the potential to be a father, but the water that was spilled out of the words could not be recovered.
Like tens of millions of parents, even if he is a traveler and still likes to be a father, he is gradually integrating into the role of a father, who doesn't want their children to get ahead?
Even if you study all your life and achieve nothing, it is not impossible to increase your knowledge and understand the truth of being a human being.
What about women's schooling?
He doesn't have the feudal idea that a woman must teach her husband and children at home, he just wants to give Gao Yue the best and what he needs most, which is the normal thinking of a modern person and a father.
His thinking is sparse and common in modern times, but only God knows what impact it will have on him in the Tang Dynasty.
"Yaya Mengxue is studying, and when she grows up, she wants to be a good official, so let Aya follow Yaya to eat fragrant pork soup every day."
When Gao Sheng heard his daughter's answer, he almost fell down, the little girl became an official just to drink pig's head soup, and his three views have been subverted by the little girl.
The Tang Dynasty was the peak period of ancient Chinese civilization, cultural thought was also open, and the status of women was also rare, so there were many women who were officials, and female officials were mainly divided into internal and external officials.
In the Tang Dynasty, there were mostly female officials, who were divided into six bureaus and twenty-four divisions, which were various managers within the court.
The most typical female official of a foreign official is Shangguan Wan'er in the Wu Zetian period, and the edict in charge of the palace is very popular with Wu Zetian, as long as she is beautiful, can speak, and is talented, it is not impossible to be a female official in the Wu Zetian period.
Gao Sheng doesn't want his daughter to be promising, he just wants his daughter to be happy.
If Gao Yue wants to learn, then he will learn, and it's a big deal to go to Li Mingyue's back door to learn.
Don't forget that the village school in Shanghe Village was funded by the other institute, if Li Mingyue went to the relationship, how could the master not obey?
Of course, going through the back door is the next step, and he doesn't bother to do it.
came out to mix, his high-ranking daughter, and she had to rely on real skills.
"Good daughter, I also think about Aya for such a good thing as eating pork soup."
Gao Shengle said: "Wait for Aya to ask your aunt about the conditions for her to study, and then take Yaya to study." ”
got the promise, Gao Yue clapped her little hands excitedly, and Zhang Shi, a little friend on the side, was also happy for her, and the two children were excited in the house.
Gao Sheng was in a good mood when he saw his daughter so happy, and immediately asked Tian about the standard of village learning.
The general standard in the Tang Dynasty was to start studying after the age of ten, but there were exceptions, that is, to be open to the intelligent, and to be able to enter school early.
With Gao Yue's current standard of four years old, even if the village school does not restrict female babies, if she wants to enroll, unless Gao Yue can show extraordinary intelligence in front of her master.
Of course, there are many people who have only learned at fifteen or sixteen, and they see that the four-year-old Gao Yue can't get into the eyes of the master.
After thinking about it, Gao Sheng felt that it was necessary to win by surprise in order to make the little girl learn.
Fortunately, Gao Yue's memory is good, which is his only hope for whether he can let Gao Yue study normally.
Don't think about the Four Books and Five Classics, Gao Sheng can't even remember it.
In the evening, Gao Sheng began the intensive training of his daughter, but fortunately, there are still three days left in the deadline for the registration of Mengxue in the autumn of the village school, which is completely enough.
There are parts sent by Li Mingyue, who helped Gao Sheng a lot, and asked Zhang Dazhu to teach these parts to refine alkaline water, Zhang Dazhu is only responsible for supervision, and he doesn't have to refine it himself.
The Tian clan was responsible for building the house, and everything was in order, but he became an idler.
Maybe it can't be said that he is an idler, for his daughter Gao Yue to be a blockbuster when she was studying in the village, and passed the master's assessment, Gao Sheng is completely fighting.
Early in the morning of the third day, he cleaned up Gao Yue refreshed, washed Gao Yue with the soap that had just been solidified, put on new clothes, and Gao Yue was completely renewed.
When he walked out of the room holding his daughter Gao Yue's little hand, Tian and Zhang Dazhu, who were busy cleaning up breakfast in the hall, almost dropped their jaws when they looked at Gao Yue.
Smelling the faint smell of soap on Gao Yue's body, Tian became interested, and he couldn't wait to rub Gao Yue into the meat to smell it.
Tian hugged Gao Yue, and sighed while smelling it: "Hey, Yaya is really watery, and there is a faint fragrance of fennel, I really love Aunt Xi, a few more years, I don't know how many young people's souls can be hooked." ”
Gao Yue didn't understand Tian's words, but said firmly in Tian's arms: "In a few more years, Yaya will catch wild boars for Aya and make fragrant pork soup for Aya to eat." ”
This child's sentence made everyone present laugh, children are children, and they always remember what food they have eaten.
Good girl, I don't forget to give him pork soup.
explained to Zhang Dazhu and his wife, and Gao Sheng and his daughter went on the road.
Shanghe Village's village school enrollment today is the last day, and if you miss today, Gao Yue wants to learn again, so she can only wait for the winter village school enrollment.
Gao Yue was very excited along the way, chirping like a bird all the way, Gao Sheng was afraid that she would be tired of walking, so he carried him on his back and carried the weight.
Finally, I arrived at Shanghe Village and arrived at the village school built next to the village.
Although it is a village school, the architecture of the classroom is extremely elegant, and the brick, wood and tile structure is used, and many private houses are inferior.
The main classroom is not an ordinary thatched hall, only the students play or rest in the thatched hall.
The county school is no more than this, and the people around Shanghe Village have such benefits, so they should be grateful to Li Mingyue, who funded the construction of the village school.
The father and daughter stood in front of the compound of the village school, sighing, but they heard a person behind them say in a weird way: "Yo, isn't this San Lang and Yaya?" What are you doing standing in front of the village school, is this the place where you can come? Could it be that he has made a windfall recently, and Saburo is so old that he also wants to learn? ”
Gao Sheng frowned when he heard the voice, turned around with mocking laughter from the people around him, and saw several familiar faces......
