Section 4: I want to go to school
"Brother, I want to go to school", the eldest girl raised her head and said categorically, which frightened Yun Ye, this is not China 1,400 years later, and the eldest girl is not an out-of-school child who can't afford to go to school because of poverty, she has a husband to teach, a seventy-year-old Confucian with a white beard.
"Aren't you in class? Isn't Mr. Songyuan teaching good, he is a good gentleman specially invited by his brother from Chang'an, haven't you always liked Mr. Songyuan's schoolwork? β
"Mr. said that I am talented, he has nothing to teach me, I have to ask my brother to resign in the next few days, so that I will not have Mr. to teach, brother, I really like to do learning, can you let me go to the academy to take classes?"
The big girl pulled Yun Ye's sleeve and dangled it coquettishly, this kind of thing used to be the patent of the little girl, but the big girl had never done it.
"Okay, okay, brother is dizzy, you let my brother sit down, let's talk about this slowly, aren't there still Runniang, Xiaoya, a few of them, Mr. Songyuan, don't you have something to teach them?"
I am a little unhappy in my heart, you have to teach as a good student of Mr., you have to teach a bad student, you can't pick and choose, if Mr. is like you, the students are not all herding sheep, and they are a fart.
"Sister Runniang has never been to class, Xiaoya always runs, I can't catch up with her, Xiaodong counts money all day long, Xiaonan tinkers with food all day long, Xiaoxi Xiaobei follows the guards to practice martial arts, and I am the only one who takes the class."
In order to go to school, the eldest girl finally explained the matter of going to class, so it sees, I am afraid that this matter is also agreed by grandma. She didn't like girls in class. It is always said that girls are useless in class, and if they are too good at learning in the future, they will embarrass their husbands, and it is good to know how to read, even if they can write letters, they are qualified, and their grandchildren are too smart, and if girls are just as smart, they will arouse the jealousy of God, and maybe some disasters will befall, so as long as those girls reach the level of Cheng DΓΉ who can write letters, they don't care, and let them mess around. The eldest girl likes to go to school, so she persevered until Wenfu and Wen Songyuan had nothing to teach.
"Cloud three. Call me all the little ladies in the house, I have something to ask. Yun Ye was very angry, he had just gotten rid of his illiteracy, and he was unwilling to go to class one by one, this is a shame for the Yun family, everything else can be forgiven, only this matter cannot be tolerated, how a knowledgeable mother will affect her children Yun Ye knows too well, he doesn't want the next generation of the Yun family to be stupid from generation to generation. In the end, they all herded sheep with snot, if this is the consequence, what kind of academy will they run.
Several younger sisters walked in one after another, pushing and shoving with a smile, but when they saw Yun Ye's face, they quieted down one by one, and even the most naughty little girl stood there obediently and silently.
"Who allowed you not to go to class? Didn't I tell you all the truth? Why are you still a heartless stupid play? Runniang, you're the biggest of them, you say. β
Unconsciously, Yun Ye's voice began to become harsh, something that several younger sisters had never experienced. In the past, the elder brothers talked to them softly, but now there is a huge contrast all of a sudden, and some can't accept it, looking at a few of them trembling, especially Xiaoya's tears have been rolling in her eyes. Yun Ye was a little soft-hearted, but when he thought of the consequences. I can only harden my heart and continue to ask.
"Brother, grandma said that girls don't need to know too much, they can read letters, and it is enough to write letters." Runniang said boldly.
"Grandma is old, these things are outdated ideas, can you write and read letters? What is the difference with the illiterate wilderness contempt, my Yun family will not be wasted, girls must also be proficient in poetry and literature, and know the world, this time I forgive you, from now on you must study hard, do not slack off, every three days I will test your homework, Runniang is not allowed to run around to the Qin family in the future, big girl, you must know to be reserved, Xiaoya is not allowed to go to the market to mess around, Xiaoxi Xiaobei is not allowed to practice martial arts, and you can only continue after making up for your homework, Xiaodong If I see you fiddling with the money jar again, I will confiscate it, and Xiaonan is not allowed to tinker with food, dedicated to learning, this time it's not so much that you're wrong, it's better that I, as an elder brother, don't care about you.
Going to school is a lifelong event, it seems useless now, and in the future you will know the difference between learned and unlearned. You will become other people's wives and mothers in the future, all of them are ignorant, how to teach each other husband and children, how to manage the family business, and how long can you hold on to the family wealth? Remember, no matter who you marry in the future or what kind of life you live, you must remember the importance of education, which is a major matter related to future generations, and you can't be sloppy in the slightest, remember? β
Several younger sisters responded in a whisper, seeing that they all had expressions, Yun Ye relaxed her tense face, and the little girl threw herself into Yun Ye's arms with a sound, crying her liver and intestines, and the others also cried around Yun Ye, and the eldest girl was guilty.
hugged and comforted a few small ones, and said to a mother: "These days, you also need to learn how to take care of the house, your sister-in-law is not at home, you can take care of it, and ask the money housekeeper for advice, these are very important things, you have to grasp the studies of several sisters, in fact, I feel the most indebted to you, and now there is still time, just learn a little if you can."
If it weren't for the big girl mentioning the matter of going to school today, it would almost hurt you for the rest of your life, I, the head of the family, am not qualified, patronizing the academy and the court, and leaving you out in the cold, it is my brother's mistake. β
"My brother is the best brother in the world, but we are too lazy to think about learning and just want to play, and we will not be in the future, we will ask Mr. Songyuan for advice." Yiniang also cried and said to Yun Ye.
At this time, the white-bearded Mr. Wen Songyuan walked in with square steps, the old gentleman has a characteristic, that is, he never rushes quickly, even if the house is on fire, he will be slow and unhurried, he pays great attention to conditioning, according to Lao Qian, Mr. Wenfu's hair is neatly combed, although it is not much, but it looks very energetic.
"Mr. Songyuan, these days it is Yun who has been neglecting, which has made Mr. unable to carry out his schoolwork, which is the fault of the next, and I hope that Mr. will not blame, and a few unsuccessful girls have also been taught a lesson. Please also ask the gentleman to read their ignorance. Re-taught. β
Wenfu glanced at a few female babies, stroked his beard and said: "Teaching is the duty of the old man, how dare you refuse, naturally obey the orders of the waiting master, but the eldest lady and the old man of your mansion have already taught each other, this child is talented and intelligent, and has the ability to draw inferences, the old man is ashamed, his knowledge is shallow, and he can no longer teach this child." lest they mislead their children. β
For the Yun family, the old gentleman is still full of good feelings, the family style is simple, and a few little ladies do not like to go to school. But he is also a good boy with good rules, and he is also respectful to this gentleman, women's reading is not taken seriously, and the Yun family is a rare enlightened family, so he never asks a few children if they go to class.
"From now on, I hope that Mr. will teach him strictly, just as if they are boys, the Yun family will not care about punishments such as precepts, please let Mr. go, since the eldest girl has already dropped out from Mr. Ask the husband to issue a letter of recommendation, and then go to find a new husband for her in the future. β
Mr. Wenfu nodded frequently, teaching women as boys, this is much easier, you must know that girls are more afraid of punishment than boys, in this way, their own lessons will be much easier.
Yun Ye really couldn't judge this thing, so he had to take the eldest girl to the academy and ask Mr. Li Gang to take the school exam to see what kind of Cheng DΓΉ he had reached. In three years, a little girl will empty the knowledge in the belly of an old Confucian? Yun Ye was a little unconvinced.
Li Gang was also very curious, but out of the reality of the Yun family's demons, he was still very happy to take the school with Mr. Yushan for more than an hour, but fortunately, the eldest girl was right to Li Gang. Mr. Yushan is very familiar, so this is more natural. If it was another gentleman, it is estimated that she would not be able to say a word just because she was shy.
After the school examination, Yun Ye waited for the old gentleman's evaluation, who knew that Li Gang shook his hand and asked Yun Ye: "How many such demons do you have in your Yun family?" If there is still a two-year-old younger, how about giving me that little grandson? β
"I don't know, the rest are all playful, and I can't see it, if your little grandson has the ability to go to the Yun family to find it by himself, I don't object to it, it is estimated that your little grandson will die miserably under their hands."
"Then it's decided, my grandson is not an ordinary person, he will come to the academy to study in a few days, if you really hook up the woman of your Yun family, the old man is not responsible."
The old guy is now living at ease, his son Li Shaozhi is stupid by nature, he is not a mixed officialdom, he has the support of his father to stay in his hometown of Guanzhou, Hebei, and be a Sima, as Li Gang gets older and older, Yun Ye simply used his military connections to transfer him to Chang'an, and his official position was also slightly promoted by one level, this is what Li Gang has explained, he knows very well what virtue his son has, it is okay to be a six-grade petty official, if he is put in a position of being alone, there will definitely be a mistake, according to his explanation, was placed in Sinong Temple as a loose official.
has long been desperate for his son Li Gang, but he loves his youngest grandson Li Anren, who is only eleven years old this year, according to Li Gang's own boasting, he has never forgotten it, don't you know, anyway, it confirms the strange circle of one generation strong and one generation weak,
Yushan also likes the big girl, and was helped out of the house by the big girl, smiling, and praising the Yun family vigorously, there will be a talented girl like Xie Daoyun, he was because Xin Yue was not around, if he grew up by his side, he would not lose to the big girl. provoked Li Gangyunye to laugh, and said that Mr. Yushan was completely jealous.
After Mr. Yuanzhang got out of class, took a sip of his teapot, and after asking why a few people were laughing, he casually asked the eldest girl a few words and said, "If your brother doesn't have the knowledge taught by those strangers, he is not worthy of lifting your shoes." β
A few old guys are old, they have long seen through the world, they like to see the frolic of children, they are deaf to the affairs of the court, they lock themselves in the ivory tower, live a good life, study some of their favorite knowledge, and write a few strokes casually when they think of it.
The academy is full of eccentrics who are obsessed with reading, only know how to teach and educate people, and in the first two years, there is still the idea of wanting to mix in the official career, who knows that after staying in the academy for a long time, one by one forgot their original intentions, and fell in love with the academy, and being an official may not be more respected as being a gentleman in the academy.
Fortunately, Yun Ye found Xu Jingzong, a guy who likes power, facing countless texts waiting for review every day, painful and happy, with occasional leisure, there is always a feeling of being calculated in his whole body. (To be continued)
