Volume VIII Chapter 51 The Problem of Literacy

How to save the emperor's gift? That's a problem!

As the purest youth of the two of them, for non-Datang aborigines, this is a technical job, and the crux of the matter is that the two Ga0 don't understand what the requirements are for etiquette.

"Bathe and change your clothes with incense, and then bring them to the offering table? Or is it wrapped up layer by layer, like a baby, very respectfully hidden? ”

Wei Yan said with a very serious attitude, but what he got was two big eyes of Sister MeinV. Xie Jiu said: "I don't know, otherwise, how about the treatment with the Holy Decree?" ”

In other words, the Wei Mansion has already received several holy decrees. Wei Yan also didn't slaughter the sheep at all, so he had to nod approvingly, put away the calligraphy and painting, and put it together with the holy decree.

When he put it away, Wei Yan took a look at his collection by the way, took care of it carefully, and in order to collect these calligraphy and paintings, he specially asked Kong Yingda for advice, so as not to damage these treasures because of the lawlessness of protection. Scholars have a more or less collection of calligraphy and paintings at home, and it is most appropriate to ask them for advice. Mr. Kong and Wei Yan still have a little friendship, Wei Yan consulted, he was careful to advise, Wei Yan felt that he had benefited a lot, and he was very grateful to Mr. Kong.

Looking at the full collections, Wei Yan was very satisfied, and his eyes were smiling. Xie Jiu laughed when he saw it, and couldn't help but push him, and said with a smile: "What about daydreaming again?" ”

Wei Yan said: "This is not called daydreaming, this is called dreaming." You know? Daydreaming isn't all useless, wasn't Newton just daydreaming about the law of gravitation? Maybe when you were daydreaming, you were hit in the head by an apple, and you were blinded for a while, and then you felt that the earth had gravity, and all the apples would fall, and then there was the law of gravitation! ”

"What kind of fallacy are you!"

Xie Jiu couldn't cry or laugh when he heard it, and Wei Yan thought it was funny when he thought about it, so he laughed along. After sorting out the collection. Walking out of the collection room, I was greeted by the smiling face of Brother Zhao and the smiling face of their Qiqi in her arms. When Qiqi saw her mother, she stretched out her hand to ask her mother to hug her.

Xie Jiu took her and hugged her, kissed her, and asked Brother Zhao with a smile: "What's wrong?" Happy to be like this? Did anything good happen? ”

Brother Zhao smiled and said, "Madam, master." The young lady can count, she can count to twenty. ”

"Really? Come on, boudoir nV, count it once for dad, and there will be a prize for counting correctly! ”

Wei Yan listened and teased his own girl, Qiqi is a villain JiNg. actually knew the conditions: "Dad, eat Bingbing!" ”

Wei Yan was helpless: "Okay." As long as you count correctly, Daddy will do it for you right away. ”

So, the little man began to count with his fingers, the fingers were not enough, the toes were counted, and after counting, he looked at his father with a smile of "I want to praise", of course, he did not hesitate to give praise, but at this time he understood. Why does nV only count to twenty, because the fingers and toes are only twenty, and if you have to count down, it is obviously not enough.

With such an awareness, a certain father made an unfathomable appearance, rubbed his chin and said: "It seems that if I want my daughter nV to learn to count more than twenty, then I have to let her grow a few more fingers and toes, otherwise she may stay at twenty." Poor child. ”

Xie Jiu glanced at him. Ignoring someone's crazy words, he walked away with the child in his arms. Left a sentence: "You promised Qiqi to make shaved ice for her, you can't miss the appointment!" ”

As soon as the Taiza Lord gave an order, Wei Yan could only go to the kitchen to work, and work hard to make shaved ice for the child, in other words, if you want to eat shaved ice in the era when there is no shaved ice machine, it is a T-force work, and men have the obligation and consciousness to take the initiative to contract T-force work, come on, work hard!

"Xiao Che'er is coming back soon, Brother Zhao knows, right?"

Holding the child, he went back to the inner room with Brother Zhao, and on the way, Xie Jiu remembered Wei Che's recent letter, and asked Brother Zhao with a smile. Brother Zhao nodded shyly and said in a low voice: "Li'er has received his letter and told me. ”

Xie Jiu smiled slightly, staring at Brother Zhao, this child can be said to have grown up with her, and now he is a charming and touching little young nV, although he is still small, he still has that big eyes and pointed chin face, but he has lost the childishness on his face, the youthful atmosphere, and the b person came. Xie Jiu smiled and said, "When Che'er comes back, I will marry you." ”

Brother Zhao was surprised and delighted, looking at Xie Jiu blankly, his face wanted to smile, but tears flowed down, Xie Jiu patted her face and said softly: "Silly boy, is it possible that I am a very harsh person on weekdays?" ”

Brother Zhao hurriedly shook his head, and he didn't know how to answer. This child is an honest person, diligent in his work, and he is good at language, and the carp of b is precocious, which seems too simple, but it is also more reassuring, so the opportunity for Wei Yan to be tied up, Xie Jiu transferred her back again, and with Li'er, there are more people and things are easier, after all, Sister-in-law Liu is getting older, JiNg's strength is not as good as before, and only Li'er is helping her to share, which is obviously not enough.

Xie Jiu looked at her, it was impossible to concentrate on things today, so she smiled and let her go down to rest. When Wei Yan came back, he talked to Wei Yan about the marriage of Brother Zhao and Wei Che, Wei Yan didn't have any opinions, these children basically have no relatives, Brother Zhao was sold by his parents to a big family since he was a child, and he sold it to Si Qi, and now she doesn't even remember who her parents are, Wei Che has no relatives except for a sister Li'er.

In this way, if you think about it carefully, it seems that there are a lot of people who have no relatives and no reason in the Wei Mansion, just like Wei Yan and Xie Jiu, they are all people who have no roots and no evidence, which makes people sad to think about. Wei Yan said: "The two tigers have set a precedent in the past, in the future, there will be people in the house who will marry or something, let's bear a part, everyone has no relatives, it is better to be lively, after all, it is a happy event." ”

Xie Jiu responded and became one of the unwritten rules of the Wei Mansion. The difference between ancient society and modern society is very big, the promise and trustworthiness, benevolence and righteousness, the people are simple, who if they have a bad reputation in business, it is quite likely to happen to be spurned by everyone, just because of a good reputation, you can rest assured that you can lend money and property, and it is also bb. In ancient times, such a person was called a gentleman. The style of a gentleman has existed since ancient times.

After saying this, looking at nV who was smiling innocently and brightly in his arms, she kissed her and drooled, and Wei Yan giggled and played with nV. On the other hand, he said: "Madam, is it time for our children to be enlightened and educated?" ”

Xie Jiu was stunned. put his son over and let the two sisters and brothers make a piece, the two husbands and wives stared at them well, Xie Jiu thought about it: "Qi'er Lin'er is more than three years old, and it is time to enlighten and educate." Won't it be too hard, though? ”

Wei Yan understood what Xie Jiudi meant, and he was also a little apprehensive in his heart. When I didn't be a parent before, I looked at other people's children, and started the so-called enlightenment education at a very young age, and began to practice violin, piano and the like when I was very young, which felt quite pitiful. I feel that their parents really don't care for their children, and they have to work so hard at such a young age. Now it's your turn...... Wei Yan and Xie Jiu looked at each other. There is a sentence in my heart---- people are in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves.

People are like this, when they are watching from the sidelines, they don't take into account when they speak, which is the so-called standing and talking without backache. And when you really participate in it, you can understand the helplessness of the parties in it, and make a choice, there must be a reason for the choice, but the people who are not in it do not understand.

Problems with the child's education. It is not an exaggeration to describe the problem of parents' choice, for fear that they will do something wrong and affect their children's future, which is the helplessness and test of parents.

Wei Yan considered on the side that if he did not do enlightenment education, the child would fall behind in the future, which would affect the child's psychological growth; It adds to the burden on the child. Do's and don'ts. That's a problem.

Xie Jiu smiled when he saw Wei Yan with a headache. said: "Aren't we deliberately adding a burden to the child, can't we consciously guide the child?" I don't teach too advanced things, just some basic things, mainly to cultivate interests, and my brother's children are like this. ”

Well, Wei Yan and Xie Jiu have no experience as other people's parents, this is the first time, in addition to m0 crossing the river with stones, they can only learn from the experience of other people's homes. The two parents, who were parents for the first time, trembled and began the first enlightenment education for their children.

When it comes to enlightenment education, the first thing that comes to mind is Hanyu Pinyin, and now there is no need to learn foreign languages in Datang, what a happy thing, as long as the Chinese characters are learned, the child's parents do not expect the child to be called a great poet in the future, as long as they can inherit the family business and support themselves well. First of all, you have to know the words and figure out the numbers, but you can no longer only count to twenty. After the child's father and mother discussed it like this, the heavy responsibility of making Chinese pinyin pictures fell to the child's father, because the capable person worked harder.

So, the child's father, who couldn't find a piece of Y paper, asked someone to cut two bamboos, cut them into thin small bamboo pieces, and then used a brush to write the Chinese pinyin letters on it. The age is too long, and I don't usually use it much, and the child's father can't remember it all. As a result, the preparatory activities for enlightenment education were stuck at the beginning.

It is the so-called collective wisdom and collective efforts, the so-called many people and many strengths, and the so-called the strength of the masses of the people is infinite. Wei Yan decided not to have a headache by himself, so let everyone have a headache together. So, Wei Yan found Xie Jiu, and there was no way if he didn't look for her, the whole Tang Dynasty was a traverser, looking for others, and people didn't understand Chinese pinyin.

"Hanyu Pinyin?! Is it 26 letters? ”

Xie Jiu said, and picked up the brush in his hand, and wrote it down on the paper according to his memory, Wei Yan looked entangled for a while, even if he couldn't remember it completely, he wouldn't be wrong to such a point, it was obviously twenty-six English letters, not some Chinese pinyin letters. Wei Yan sighed for a while: "Madam, our children want to learn Chinese characters, not foreign languages, foreign languages were not popular in ancient times, are you sure you want to add a burden to your children?" ”

Xie Jiu blushed when he was said, lowered his head and snorted a few times, directly pushed the brush, and said angrily: "Then you want to go yourself, don't ask me again, I will remember these few." Wei Yan shook his head and sighed: "Poor, the child was not born by me alone, and I am actually responsible for it alone, alas! …… Oops, don't move your mouths and hands, nV people have to be gentle, you know? Oh mom, okay, okay, I think to myself, just put away the English letters. ”

said so, but, that is, compared with Xie Jiu's English alphabet, Wei Yan remembered a few, compared with what was written, I always felt incomplete, and I had to think about it carefully, it was really embarrassing for that guy, at such an age, I still have to work hard to remember the learning content of the preschool, unless it is a computer that records it, otherwise it is really not easy to think about it, but as long as you have the heart and think about it carefully, most of them can still remember, after all, we have been speaking Chinese for so many years.

Speaking of literacy and enlightenment, Wei Yan specially went to Kong Yingda for advice and asked what methods people use to educate children. Besides, he and Xie Jiu spoke modern Mandarin, not today's Tang Mandarin, and Hanyu Pinyin teaches the pronunciation of modern Mandarin, whether to learn the pronunciation of the Tang Dynasty official version or the pronunciation of the modern Mandarin version, this is another question.

Knowing Wei Yan's intention, Kong Yingda was very happy, politely welcomed Wei Yan into the house, and said with a smile: "Master Wei, when we do enlightenment education, we teach students to recognize words, and generally use the reverse cut method. ”

Reverse cut method?! What's that?!

Wei Yan's face was probably full of questions, and he looked at Kong Yingda with a curious face, which made the old man laugh and explained: "The so-called reverse cutting method is to use two words with similar pronunciations, and the combination is the pronunciation of new words. ”

Speaking, Kong Yingda also demonstrated the so-called reverse cutting method, and after the demonstration, Wei Yan understood that the so-called reverse cutting method is to use two words with similar sounds, using the initials of the first word and the finals of the second word to combine them into the pronunciation of new words. This method is very cumbersome and not as intuitive as Hanyu Pinyin. Anyway, Wei Yan is full of words on his face, and he only needs to turn around the mosquito coil twice in his eyes.
