Mei Xiaoba is just honest, but not stupid?

Before Yang Wu picked it up, Mei Xiaoba didn't feel that she was wearing something inappropriate. After all, compared with Gui Chongyang's appearance and Svenwen's appearance, others look rough and rustic no matter what they wear; But Yang Wu's unintentional words, and looking at the clothes on the two of them, Mei Xiaoba also felt that something was wrong.

It's just that Mei Xiaoba is generous, and she can't think of anything else, so she smirked and said, "My mother sewed it by herself, maybe there is just a flower cloth." ”

Yang Wu shook his head and said, "Can't you make it up again?" It's going to take a year to memorize. ”

Mei Xiaoba looked down at her flower schoolbag, and seemed to feel that the red flowers were eye-catching, so she moved behind her.

Yang Wu's side had already put this matter aside and said, "Chongyang, what will the master teach?" ”

Gui Chongyang thought for a while and said: "The village school is mainly literate, generally "Three Character Classic", "Hundred Family Names", "Thousand Character Text", and some will choose "Filial Piety Classic" and "Family Rites".

Village school is social science, and moral education is also one of the purposes of social science. Hongwu once ordered the civil society to study the "Great Message" and "Great Ming Law" at the same time, and some other books that recorded the good deeds of the ancient sages were also required reading for Mengtong.

However, these are studied in Mengxue, a place where the literary style in the south of the Yangtze River is at its peak, Tongzhou is the north after all, and the indoctrination is late, and Gui Chongyang doesn't know how it is.

One time later, the three of them arrived at the village school located next to the village ancestral hall.

This is the three rooms in the east wing of the ancestral hall, one in the northeast corner is the place where the statue of Confucius is enshrined and the place where the teacher rests, and the middle one is where the child under the age of ten is located; The southeast one is where students over the age of 10 live.

If you go to other private schools, you must be led by your parents, and you will first worship the statue of Confucius with your husband, and then enter a new class.

Because it is a village school, when I came to send 300 yuan before, Yang Jinzhu and Mei Qingmu had already come, and today I saved the set of "sending my son to school".

However, when the three of them arrived at the door of the master's room, Mei Tongsheng still worshiped the statue of Confucius in accordance with the customary order, and then put on a straight face, holding a black cast iron ring ruler, waving it, and saying a few words of persuasion.

Yang Wu and Mei Xiaoba's eyes were starry when they heard it, and their eyes looked at Mei Fuzi with reverence.

Gui Chongyang knew that this was Mei Fuzi's "dismount" for the school-enrolled Mengtong.

Whether it is afraid of the ruler or the fear of learning, the new school Mengtong can restrain his stubbornness and be honest.

After the words of persuasion were finished, Mei Tongsheng's eyes fell on Gui Chongyang, which was to test his academic progress, so he said: "Can you read four books?" ”

Naturally, the Mongolian books of "Three Character Classic", "Hundred Family Names", and "Thousand Character Text" have been read, and schoolchildren who are interested in being born will learn "scripture education" for the sake of scientific research.

Gui Chongyang is twelve years old, and he came back from Jiangnan, if he has good reading qualifications, he should have finished reading Mengxue and started to study the scriptures.

Gui Chongyang glanced at Yang Wu and Mei Xiaoba, who were honest and restrained next to him, and said, "The student is sick and weak, and although he is enlightened early, he has not yet started school. ”

If you say that you have learned, you will naturally be assigned to the big children's class, so how can you take care of these two honest children?

Mei Tongsheng sneered, his face could not hide his contempt, and he felt more and more that his previous guess was correct.

What are ten boxes of books, it's just that the Gui family boasted about it and gave Gui Chongyang a long face. What books can a Mengtong who has not yet started to read the Four Books and the Five Classics bring back?

Mei Tongsheng looked at Yang Wu again and asked casually, "Have you read a book before?" ”

Yang Wu shook his head honestly: "I haven't read it." ”

Mei Tongsheng nodded, and finally looked at Mei Xiaoba, his eyes fell on the patch on his body, and he couldn't help frowning. This is his grandson, and he can't say that he will be a nephew in the future, but what is this wearing? is so shabby, where does it look like a scholarly disciple?

That's right, because his son and eldest grandson are both talented, Mei Tongsheng felt that the lintel of the house had been changed, and he already boasted of being a "scholarly family", separating the Mei family from those mud legs in the village.

When he saw Gui Chongyang standing next to him, Sven Lingxiu, more and more set off Mei Xiaoba's appearance like a dirty man, Mei Tongsheng couldn't help but be annoyed, but he didn't know that it was good to talk about the patch on Mei Xiaoba's body directly, and he happened to see the flower cloth schoolbag he was carrying, so he pointed to the reprimand: "What is this?" ”

Mei Xiaoba was startled, and couldn't help but feel at a loss, and said cautiously: "This, this is my mother's schoolbag." ”

Mei Fuzi snorted coldly and said, "It's not a system, it's changed tomorrow!" ”

Mei Fuzi is already mean-looking, this stiff face and cold voice, how can Mei Xiaoba not be afraid? He swallowed and foamed, and quickly nodded: "Well, I'll change it tomorrow!" ”

Although Gui Chongyang didn't like Mei Fuzi's behavior, he didn't interrupt.

Yang Wu was not trained, but he obviously became the monkey who "killed chickens and hacked monkeys", lowered his eyebrows and was pleasing to his eyes, and became more and more honest.

Seeing that several new students were obedient and did not have, Mei Tongsheng nodded with satisfaction, touched his beard, and beckoned the three of them to follow him.

*

Mengtong class, sitting in the primary twenty children, although there is no master, but Mei Tongsheng is where the prestige is, no one dares to frolic, is led by a primary school student, shaking his head and reciting "Hundred Family Names".

Seeing Mei Fuzi come in, everyone turned out their voices and sat more upright.

The student who read it before saw Mei Xiaoba's eyes lit up, it was the child surnamed Mei.

Mei Tongsheng pointed to Gui Chongyang and the three of them, and said, "This is the new students enrolled today, Gui Chongyang, Yang Wu, and Mei Xu, and they will get along in harmony in the future." With that, he pointed to a few seats in the last row of the room and let the three of them sit down.

Mei Xiaoba didn't have a big name before, and this "Mei Xu" was still typeset by Mei Tongsheng according to the genealogy and given temporarily.

Mei Xiaoba heard the strangeness, and when she saw that everyone looked at herself, she realized that she was "Mei Xu", and thought it was a novel and beautiful name, but it was a little weird, and it was not as good as "Xiaoba" to listen to.

Because this room is full of elementary school students under the age of ten, although in front of the master, they are much more restrained, but in the end they are lively.

When they saw Yang Wuda tall, the primary school students squeezed their eyebrows and smiled; When I saw Mei Xiaoba's flower schoolbag, except for the brothers surnamed Mei who felt that their faces were poor and undignified, the other primary school students couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh straight, if it weren't for the master's stay, I was afraid that they would have to point at Mei Xiaoba and call it "flower girl".

Only Gui Chongyang is here, and it's not for these elementary school students to find fault and laugh.

If Gui Chongyang is peaceful, he will naturally be kind and harmless. Now that a cousin and a "future cousin" are being ridiculed, he is naturally unhappy, and his little face is tense.

Although Gui Chongyang's body is not silk and satin, the Songjiang muslin cloth that is rare in the north is half-new and not old, but it is not stitched and not sewn at home.

Compared with the blue and cyan coarse cloth washed by primary school students, Gui Chongyang's dress is no less than silk and satin, which inevitably makes people lose confidence.

Among them, the primary school students who are more interested in dressing and want to laugh at Mei Xiaoba's "turtle" all bow their heads and look at themselves, but the more they look at it, the more wrong it is, the clothes are wrong, and there is no fit of Gui Chongyang; The shoes are also not right, their own Bainadi is not decent with Gui Chongyang's shoes. Needless to say, Mei Xiaoba is also a "turtle" compared to Gui Chongyang.

When Gui Chongyang sat down and took out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, the schoolchildren straightened their eyes again.

Compared with the crude version of the pen, ink, paper and inkstone that everyone bought for one or two hundred wen in the town, Gui Chongyang's inkstone is black and shiny, and the barrel of the brush is also oily, which is different from everyone.

Everyone saw it, and Mei Tongzi also saw it, but they didn't think so.

Meng Tong didn't see anything, I think this is good, Mei Tongsheng went out of the inkstone and brush is not a good material, but it is used too much, so there is a sense of warmth. The same is true of the one that his eldest grandson is used to.

Mei Tongsheng didn't think Gui Chongyang was diligent, he just thought it was a gift from someone else. After all, this set of four treasures of the study, the inkstone is slightly smaller, and the pen tube is slightly thinner, which is prepared for children at a glance.

For a while, Mei Tongsheng was curious about Guiyuan's communication in the south.

Others thought that the house of the long house was built by Gui Wu for Gui Chongyang, but Mei Tongsheng didn't think so. If Gui Wu really wants to be a big head, he will also build a two-room house first, and if he doesn't have his own father and mother and is not filial, he will take care of the nephew in the next room first.

Mei Tongsheng didn't believe that the money was all taken out by Mei. Mei is not a fool, and all the money is taken out to supplement her husband's private children, instead of keeping it for self-defense.

Yes, in Mei Tongsheng's eyes, Gui Chongyang is a "private child", so he feels that he occupies the righteousness of etiquette and law, and he looks down on him. However, he has never been a hard bone, and this contempt is only in front of Gui Chongyang, and he does not dare to show it in front of Gui Wu.

In the last row of three seats in the room, Yang Wu and Mei Xiaobayi sat next to Gui Chongyang on the left and right, and carefully took out the books, their faces were more solemn.

Mei Fuzi turned around and went out, still the primary school students who had led before, taking the lead, reciting the book.

After a while, I saw a room full of little radish heads shaking their heads, "Zhao Qian, Sun Li, Zhou Wu, Zheng Wang......"

Yang Wu and Mei Xiaoba couldn't even read a word, so they only stretched their necks to watch everyone's movements.

Gui Chongyang sat in the crowd, but his face showed a little confusion. He was enlightened at the age of five, in the Great Confucian next door, when he was the only student, and the sons of two "father" friends.

At that time, I only thought it was two more classmates, and I thought about it when I thought that those two classmates were obviously focusing on themselves, and they were obviously putting themselves in the position of companions. It's the teacher with the gray beard of the Hanlin Academy, even if the museum is opened, it is too strange to only accept three elementary school students?

Gui Chongyang and Gui Wu said that they were familiar with the four books and five classics, but they were actually modest. Compared with his two classmates, he doesn't study too hard, but he can't stand up to his "father" who has a "child control", for fear that he will hurt his body by working too learning, and help him summarize various tips for memorization and comprehension.

Lao Hanlin saw it, shook his head and said that it was "crooked and heretical", but in private, he also sighed, and only said that it was "it is a pity for Gui Xingyuan to make people by creation".

Gui Yuan, the words are far away.

The white body with no fame, is it a year-old friend with Lao Hanlin? When I was a child, there was also a young man who was dressed luxuriously in his own home, and jokingly asked himself to call him "senior brother". But I didn't see him salute Lao Hanlin, but in front of his "father", he was close and respectful.

What's going on here?

Is his "father" really the Gui Yuan who can't even pass the county test?
