Seeing this little girl looking at herself enviously, Li Yao said casually, "Have you ever read a book?" After asking Li Yao, he regretted it, knowing that she was a rural girl, and asked this question.

The little girl shook her head in frustration and said, "The boys in the village don't have any books to read, how can I read a girl!" ”

Li Yao smiled: "Do you want to learn words?" I can teach you! ”

The little girl's eyes lit up and she said happily, "Really? ”

Li Yao nodded, of course there was no problem.

The little girl looked at Li Yao expectantly, and Li Yao smiled: "I'll teach you how to write your name!" What's your name? ”

The little girl said eagerly, "My name is Meizi!" ”

Okay, I'll teach you the word 'plum' first, Li Yao walked to the table, sat down, because there was no pen and paper, Li Yao came out of the pot with some water, dipped his fingers in the water, and wrote down the word 'plum'!

Looking at Li Yao's white fingers, the girl said enviously: "My lord, your fingers are so beautiful, they are long, white and straight, and they look like they belong to rich and noble families!" ”

Li Yao knocked Meizi on the head, don't you want to learn words? How do you look at my fingers?

Oh, Meizi grimaced at Li Yao, and then also learned that Li Yao dipped his index finger in some water, and wrote it according to the preparation of the cat and the tiger, but no matter how he wrote, he didn't write it correctly, either there was one more horizontal or two more verticals!

Li Yao was impatient, grabbed Meizi's hand, and wrote the word 'Meizi'.

After writing, Li Yao said, "Now you are trying to write." ”

Meizi was grabbed by Li Yao, and her heart was naturally very uncalm. So he whispered shyly: "My lord, let's sleep, I'll study again tomorrow!" ”

Li Yao just picked up a cup of tea and took a sip, when he heard Meizi's words, a mouthful of water squirted out directly, spraying Meizi's body, Li Yao panicked, and wiped Meizi with his hand, ready to wipe the water on her body.

Meizi watched Li Yao touch around on herself, and thought that Li Yao wanted it now, so she hurriedly said, "Put out the light!" ”

When Li Yao heard this, he stopped his hand and hurriedly said, "No, you misunderstood, I didn't mean that!" ”

The more he explained, the more chaotic it became, Li Yao simply shut up and stopped talking, but Meizi took the initiative and said shyly: "My lord, let's go and sit on the bed!" ”

Li Yao said embarrassedly: "Meizi, or I'll teach you to write tonight!" ”

After listening to Li Yao's words, Meizi thought that Li Yao didn't like her, so her face instantly darkened, and the crying voice in her words was clearly visible: "My lord, after accompanying you for this night, I will go to get married, I will not rely on you!" ”

Li Yao was anxious: "No, I didn't mean that!" ”

Li Yao suddenly felt that the ancient customs were really bad, and he had a young girl to sleep with him at every turn, and he didn't accept it, and the little girl was still sad.

In desperation, Li Yao asked, "Meizi, how old are you?" ”

Meizi said: "I am sixteen years old this year! ”

Sixteen years old!

Meizi nodded.

Underage, underage again, his own principles cannot be changed, it seems that Li Yao is going to start fooling again tonight!

Li Yao said: "Do you know why I want you to follow me to read and write? ”

Meizi shook her head, tears still visible in the corners of her eyes.

Li Yao said: "The old patriarch also said, I am your food and clothing parents, but just letting you be fed and clothed is only the first step!" In the future, I want to let the children in the village be able to read and write, learn knowledge, and grow up to be a person who contributes to the country! ”

Meizi said in a frustrated tone: "Adult, literacy is a boy's business, and we girls can only be at home!" What's the use of literacy! ”

"Who says girls can't read?" Li Yao said: "I'm going to teach you to read now, and when you know enough, I'll let you be Mr. Teacher!" ”

Meizi snorted, laughed, and said, "My lord, although I have never gone to school, I also know that only men can be gentlemen, and I have never heard of a woman being a teacher since ancient times!" ”

"Why can't a woman be a teacher?" Li Yao asked rhetorically: "Some women are emperors, some are in the army, why can't many teachers be teachers?" ”

This, Meizi thought about it, as if what this adult said also made sense. But Meizi whispered again: "But there has been no woman to be a teacher since ancient times!" ”

Li Yao patted Meizi on the shoulder with both hands, looked at Meizi, and said seriously: "So, you will create a precedent for female teachers, and your responsibility is very heavy!" ”

"My lord, don't make fun of me, I'm not this material!" Although Meizi said so in his mouth, Li Yao could see that Meizi's heart was moved.

Is it this material, let's try it to know, although we lack paper and pen here, but learning words is by their own efforts, and then I will let people bring some paper and pencil over, you can practice well!

"Pen and paper?" When Meizi heard this, she immediately shook her head and said, "The brush and white paper are not used by people like us, so I will practice on the sand with a small stick!" ”

Seeing that Meizi's attitude was very resolute, Li Yao said: "Okay, in fact, you don't need white paper, go get some bamboo, roast it with fire, cut it into sections, and use it as bamboo slips, this is also a way!" ”

When Meizi heard this, she smiled and said: "Adults are smart, the method used by the ancients, why didn't I think of it, and I still thought of using a small stick!" I'm so stupid! ”

Okay, I'll teach you the word 'plum' in your name first.

Speaking of the word 'plum', do you know Cao Cao's allusion to quenching thirst with plums?

Meizi shook her head.

Li Yao said: "I think back then, Cao Cao led the troops to fight Zhang Xiu, Cao Cao, you always know who it is!" ”

Meizi nodded: "I know this person, in the Three Kingdoms!" I heard the patriarch say it! ”

Li Yao continued: "Cao Cao led his troops to attack Zhang Xiu, and he was marching all the way, and he walked very hard. It was the height of summer, and the sun was scorching in the sky, emitting a huge amount of heat, and the earth was almost scorched. Cao Cao's army had been on the road for many days and was very tired. All along the way, there are barren mountains and bald mountains, there are no people, and there is no water source for dozens of miles. The soldiers tried their best, but they couldn't get a drop of water to drink. Under the scorching sun overhead, the soldiers were dizzy and sweating profusely, but they could not find water to drink, and everyone had dry mouths and felt as if they were on fire in their throats, and many people's lips were chapped and blood flowed straight down. Every few miles, someone collapsed and died of heat stroke, and even the able-bodied soldiers gradually became unable to support themselves. ”

Meizi hurriedly said, "Then what should I do?" If we can't find water, won't we be wiped out? ”

Li Yao smiled: "Cao Cao is a scheming person, can he let his subordinates die of thirst?" So he came up with an idea."

He rode his horse to the hill, drew his flag and pointed forward, and shouted: "There is a large plum grove not far ahead, full of big, sour and sweet plums, everyone hold on a little longer, and you will quench your thirst when you go there and eat plums!" ”

After listening to Cao Cao's words, the soldiers remembered the sour taste of plums, as if they had really eaten plums, and a lot of saliva suddenly appeared in their mouths, and their spirits also cheered up, and they mustered up all their strength to hurry forward. In this way, Cao Cao finally led his army to a place where there was water.

Li Yao quipped: "Look at how big your role is, if it weren't for you, Cao Cao estimated that the whole army would have been wiped out at that time, and there would be no later story." ”

Meizi said shamefully: "His plums are sour plums, which can be eaten, but not me!" ”

Whether it's you or not, you now know that no matter what is small, it has its own use, so you have to study hard, and when the time comes, you can become a female teacher, can you also make your family beautiful?

"Well, I want to read well, recognize a lot of words, and become a teacher in the future." Then he asked shyly, "My lord, can you hold my hand and teach me how to write?" ”

Li Yao smiled: "I am very happy! ”
