Chapter 15: Please teach people to read and write

This morning's weather seems to finally indicate that this year has entered the cold winter, when the sky is bright, the north wind blows, and the snow is falling. Wu Song just woke up habitually, and he felt that the air conditioning in the house was pressing, Wu Song didn't like to sleep lazy, and he didn't like people to wait for dressing. Already dressed himself, pushed the door out, washed his face and brushed his teeth, Wu Song didn't like to wash with hot water, no matter when, he used the cold water he prepared last night. At this time, two inches of snow had gathered on the ground in the courtyard, and there was a "crunching" sound when stepped on it. Wu Song stretched his waist, threw his arm, and practiced a few punches and kicks. Dong'er had already run over and got some tea for Wu Song. Happily shrunk his head, rubbed his hands, and stood in front of Wu Song. Dong'er prefers to stay with Wu Song, because Wu Song can always tell her some particularly nice stories, and often brings him all kinds of snacks. Dong'er can sometimes twist Wu Song and be coquettish. Wu Song can always make her laugh happily, although the rest of the family, as well as the uncle and grandmother are very good to him, but she has a lot of attachment to Wu Song. Since Dong'er's mother died, she was sold to Wu Song by her father. I've never had such a lot of attachment to anyone again. Except occasionally, I remembered my mother. Sneaked two handfuls of tears. At other times, only Wu Song was left in his heart. Dong'er gets up early every day with the other maids. Then clean up a little, other people go to do other things, he will bring some tea, come to Wu Song, these two days he secretly against the basin, carefully dressed up his little face for a while, and played with his hair for a while. He knew that at this time, the second master Wu Song, who he liked, must have already gotten up and played with his fists and feet in the yard. She will stand next to Wu Song happily and watch Wu Song box. Today's weather was particularly cold, and he couldn't help but shrink his head and rub his hands.

Wu Song may have seen Dong'er today, shrunk his head and was a little cold, so he hurriedly breathed and stopped. hugged Dong'er and said, "Little beauty, why don't you stay in the house when it's so cold." Then go into the house and put down Dong'er. I found a brazier and lit a charcoal fire. told Dong'er the story of Grandma Wolf. By the end of the story, it was already daylight. Wu Song took the little girl's hand and went to the dining room to eat. My brother and sister-in-law are still the same, and I got up early to make some exquisite meals for myself. Since knowing his brother's physical condition, he has a little regret for his sister-in-law, and his attitude towards her has become better and better. The four of them happily ate breakfast.

After eating, Wu Song did not go to work in the county office, because at this time, Wu Song was no longer the younger brother he used to be, and had become the big five in the county office. If there is anything or some official documents that he needs to consult, he will naturally send it to him. Everyone knows that in the county now, in addition to the county master's speech, Wu Song's speech is the most effective. Someone came to deliver the paperwork, and Wu Song would also reward some copper coins. So everyone was very happy to come and send the official document.

Today, Wu Song sees that his brother is really idle in a daze, according to what his brother himself often says, if he is idle like this, he will become a stupid pig. Every day I don't know what to do, I can eat and sleep stupidly.

Wu Song originally thought that he would let his brother come down, drink a little wine if he had nothing to do, and then hold the heartwarming sister-in-law and keep it warm. Maybe it won't be long before my sister-in-law can get a big belly and conceive a baby. became a mother, and then the two of them could stay together with each other with affection and love, completely changing his original tragic fate. But I don't want this wish to be completely disappointed now. My brother can't have sex at all.

Wu Song made up his mind and asked his brother to start reading and reading in advance now. After all, in this era, thousands of years later, reading is a superior thing. Emperor Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty also left, so that countless people and others were intoxicated with the persuasion poems that they yearned for:

The family does not need to buy fertile land, there are thousands of bells in the book;

There is no need to raise a hall to live in peace, and there is a golden house in the book;

Don't hate unscrupulous matchmakers when marrying a wife, there is Yan Ruyu in the book;

Don't hate to go out with no one, there are many cars and horses in the book;

The boy wants to fulfill his life's aspirations, and reads the Pentateuch to the window

As soon as Wu Song said that he wanted to ask a gentleman to let his brother read and write, his brother was very happy, clapped his hands and applauded: "I have heard many people say early on that people who read are all stars and gods in the sky. I used to want Erlang to read and write, but my family was poor, and I saved some money to reduce my food, so I knelt on the ground and begged Mr. for a few days, and Mr. was kind and promised to let Erlang, follow others, and read for a few days. Got to know a few big words. I didn't expect that today I would be able to read and read at Wuhan University. It's really the ancestors who have spirits! At night, burn incense and thank your ancestors. Hurry up and let people buy more wine and meat, and when the time comes, thank you Mr. Teach."

Wu Song said with a smile: "Later, I will invite an old gentleman to come, and my sister-in-law and Dong'er will also go to study with Mr. My sister-in-law won't make any more clothes for me when she arrives, I can't wear enough clothes. When the time comes, you can read and write, and maybe you will be able to help me one day.

Sister-in-law Pan Jinlian said shyly: "Can I help my uncle if I learn to read and write?" Then the slave family has to work hard every day. Study hard and be literate, so that you can help your uncle in the future."

Just after her sister-in-law Pan Jinlian finished speaking, Dong'er also clapped her hands and said, "Okay, okay, I also want to read and write to help the second master."

After Wu Song finished talking to everyone, he ordered someone to prepare a hundred copper coins and went to the east of the county seat of Yanggu County to find the old man Wang who was praised by everyone and had a noble character. I heard that this old Mr. Wang was expected to be a showman, because he participated in several township examinations, but he did not win. Later, the family was really poor. He no longer participated in the imperial examination, taught people to read and write at home, and after more than ten years, several students were selected for Xiucai, and two people were selected for lifting, so his reputation was greatly enhanced, and many people begged him to teach at home.

Wu Song arrived at the old man's mansion. Ordered someone to report inside, Mr. Wang is a sixty-year-old man, very kind, seeing Wu Song's arrival, he was so busy getting up to give a salute, and ordered someone to invite tea to entertain guests. He said with a smile: "I heard that since the county lieutenant came to Yanggu County, he has been kind and benevolent, and he has eliminated the rebels. It really makes the old man admire, and he wants to go to the house to visit early, but he is old and frail, he knows the destiny of heaven early, and he doesn't dare to ask for mercy, he is really ashamed! Your Excellency is here today, and I don't know what it is."

Wu Song said: "Xianggong peach and plum in the world, the world admires. As the so-called old man is in the woods, he is determined to be thousands of miles. How can you call the old, now the mediocre people have come, and they have specially presented their meager Sichuan resources, and begged the gentleman not to be too meager, and he will gladly accept it." After that, he took out the prepared copper coins for a hundred times.

Mr. Wang was also full of joy when he saw the copper coins, but he gave in: "Now, I am already in the age of the sixtieth year, and I am afraid that I will not be able to do it."

Wu Song said: "Xianggong's words are bad, Mr. Jiuwen has noble character, extraordinary knowledge, is kind-hearted, does not think that people are old or stupid, and dislikes jokes, now Xiao Ke is also thin and has family resources, but when he was young, his family was poor, and his brother and sister-in-law were not either, he had read and read. Mr. Wanwang should not dislike his brother and sister-in-law for being despicable, teach some introductory words, and can also understand some literary and ink principles, and he can be a scholarly heirloom in the future. When the time comes, I will not forget the great kindness of the gentleman. Xiao Ke bowed again."

Mr. Wang said: "There used to be people who contributed a lot of money and came to visit the little old man, but the little old man has never been there, and now he sees the adult, suppresses the bandits, and eliminates the evil, and benefits the township. If you can't let the scholarly fragrance in the adult's family pass on, you will really be sorry for the teachings of the saints. Later, the little old man will prepare and go to the house."
