The villagers are accustomed to cat winters, and it is freezing outside, and no one wants to go out of the warm house. The large dining hall and the baking room are the places where the villagers gather for cats.

Dong Xiaoying opened her eyes, the thermos cup on the kang table was not covered, and the heat wafted out of the cup. In fact, Fang Mingyuan has been used to it since she got married, and prepared a glass of warm water for her every morning.

I stretched my waist, put on warm pants, cashmere underwear, down vest, a padded jacket with a diagonal placket, a skirt with padded cotton, and warm deerskin boots on my feet, and walked out of the bedroom neatly armed.

Chang'an Zhengnian nagged his sister, "Don't soak it, the toothpaste is soaked in hot water, I really threw the toothpaste in the hot water and scalded it, squeezed out and hot, really." ”

The two children brushed their teeth and washed their faces in the stove again, which was the vegetable washing sink! Forget it, she didn't want to go to the bathroom, a pool of cold water looked cold.

"What are you two doing today?" Dong Xiaoying entered the stove and asked.

Fang Yue was brushing her teeth, glanced back at her mother, turned her head and brushed her teeth.

Chang'an rubbed his hands full of facial cleanser, "I wrote textbooks with my father, mainly because the language is a bit troublesome, and my father said that students are just to cope with the exam, and what they learn is useless in society, so they have to study how to take the exam from an early age." ”

"Hmmm! That's right, too! Do you disagree? Dong Xiaoying scooped out the hot water and prepared to brush her teeth.

Chang'an snorted his face a few times with facial cleanser, bent down to hold the water to wash the foam on his face, turned around and pulled down the towel from the rope, wiped his face and said, "No, the course is too monotonous with only Chinese and mathematics, and the teachers haven't been invited for physical education, and the villagers don't dare to sign up."

In addition, the practical class that my father said is difficult, and it is necessary to follow the master to learn the craft, and it is impossible for the school to invite masters from various industries to teach, besides, we are not Lan Xiang! ”

Fang Yue washed his face carefully, rubbed the facial cleanser on his face with his little hands, and nodded approvingly when he heard this, "Well, well!" ”

After the three of them finished washing, they sat on the kang in the living room to eat breakfast, and the hot noodle soup that Fang Mingyuan brought back included pickles, multigrain biscuits, old bread, and Sanhe noodle rolls.

"Actually, your father doesn't know how to teach, you said he would listen." Dong Xiaoying said.

Fang Yue stared at her mother, "Where's my food?" ”

Dong Xiaoying turned over and took out the thermos bucket from the space, which contained Fang Mingyuan's hot boxed milk, two slices of toast, two slices of fried bacon and three fried eggs.

"Wow! I didn't even hear my dad get up, when he fried bacon, the egg should be one for each of us! Fang Yue unceremoniously put the bacon on toast and smeared it with homemade applesauce, and ate it fragrantly.

Dong Xiaoying didn't know when Fang Mingyuan got up, "Didn't you go into the city with Changfu?" It's only now that I'm up, and I'm almost getting there. ”

Fang Yue was bored eating, and glanced at her mother very unhappily, didn't she have slept!

Today, Changfu is going to teach Boss Ruan, the broth of tonkotsu ramen is very fragrant! She wasn't worried that Changfu wouldn't be able to handle it, but she was a little curious, what did men and women do in ancient times!

"Come with me to the small baking room in a while, let's make the accounts of the baking room, and hurry up to pay everyone a salary, Su Er's sister-in-law is still waiting for the silver money to give the dowry!" Dong Xiaoying urged her daughter to eat quickly.

Fang Yue pouted, "You are using child labor!" Well? I said, "You can't do that!" When did you last pay your salary? ”

It is necessary to make a charter and pay wages at least at a fixed time every month.

In the large conference room, Fang Mingyuan stepped on the bench with one foot, slapped his hand on the table and yelled at the scholar, "You teach children like that, you are misleading people's children, you don't want to think about it, what can you learn like that?" I ask you, what have you learned? Do you know how to farm? Do you know how to write official paperwork? Will you settle the score? You don't even understand the accounts, and you still read books? ”

The scholar's face was red, "It can't be like this, Mr. Fang, opportunistic or unacceptable, there is no shortcut to learning, and there is no end ......to learning."

"Go to your boundlessness, let me tell you, children come to our school, to learn useful, not to memorize a few sour poems, to know a few words to be successful, to develop in an all-round way, children who can go through the imperial examination, we have to cultivate on the imperial examination, there are other talents, can not be erased, to be cultivated."

"Mr. Ke Fang, if you want to learn carpentry, why do you still need to study?" The scholar asked rhetorically.

Fang Mingyuan glared and said, "Reading is for literacy, in order not to be blind, if you can be a carpenter, you can be a carpenter, and then you can be better than other carpenters, and if you learn to think, maybe you will be a Luban again!" ”

Fang Mingjiang stretched out his head and asked, "Who is Lu Ban?" ”

"A good carpenter." Fang Mingyuan pointed at the scholar and wanted to say that if he was disobedient, he would get out.

Chang'an walked in and said with a smile, "What Mr. means, Chang'an understands, do you think the father is teaching his children to cheat?" In fact, my father taught us how to think, it seems that we have taken a shortcut, but in fact, the only way to learn is hard study, where is the shortcut?

My father was able to sum up these because of his years of experience in studying, copying in the yamen, and teaching in the county. ”

The patriarch followed, "Yes! We Mingyuan don't understand anything, he has done things in the county government, and he has been a gentleman in the county school for many years. Boy, don't be noisy, your husband may not be right, you just think about it! What your husband taught you, can you be admitted to the middle school children? ”

The scholar glared and said, "Reading is to solve doubts, how can you ......?"

Fang Yue ran in with a smile and said, "Reading to solve doubts, life needs wisdom, reading can make people enlightened, wise, and know the truth of the world." Therefore, after passing the Jinshi examination, you have to study in the Hanlin Academy for three years. Sir, isn't it a waste to waste three years of good time learning to write documents, learn how to distinguish good fields, and how to analyze and judge cases?

If you start learning a little bit now, will you be able to become an official after passing the Jinshi examination? ”

The scholar's three views have completely collapsed, yes! What did he learn in ten years of hard study?

Fang Mingyuan wiped a chair with his hand, sat down and said, "You are still young, you don't understand the shortness of life, the imperial examination is just a means of selection, but not every imperial examination is a good official, they have the intention to do a good job, but they don't know how to start, many times they have to rely on the help of the master, you say, have those masters read the books of sages?"

The inheritance of the master, from elementary school money, food, goods, learning the law and criminal names, may not even be a showman, but he can assist the county order or even a bigger official, many masters are more powerful than his proprietor, and they are also famous, you should know! ”

Xiucai shook Fang Mingyuan to the end, and said respectfully, "Please teach me, sir." ”

The third uncle laughed, "That's right!" How much have you experienced, where have you been! Listen to people's advice to eat well, and follow those who are familiar with the road and don't take detours. ”

Fang Mingyuan held up the scholar with both hands, "That's right!" You are the only one selected through the teacher exam, and we work together to teach how good it is! Of course, the sages should be taught, which is the principle of being a human being and the moral criterion for living in the world. ”

You said that the sages should be taught! "What the gentleman said is that he was taught."

"Let's move on to physical education class, the six arts of a gentleman! Horseback riding, archery must be able to know. Look at the people here, when the foreign enemy comes, they will be numb! Let's learn to shoot arrows to resist, and if we can't do it, we can still run on horseback! Fang Mingyuan picked up the teacup.

The scholar roared in his heart, why did I come here to take the teacher exam? Forget about archery resistance, why run away, shouldn't you fight the enemy to the death to defend the country's territory?

The fundamental reason why Cai Shusheng was able to stay was that his family was poor, poor!

The stuffy man suddenly said, "Uncle, I don't be a teacher, I can't teach apprentices." ”

I'm still learning to read! How can you be a gentleman?
