Chapter 78: A Daughter-in-law and Half a Daughter (20)

Because they can read and write, they are more eloquent than ordinary men, and they are more organized and convincing, so they are more popular with customers and more valued by shopkeepers, so their wages are higher.

And apprentices are the same, because of literacy and literacy, they have learned to read, plus Niu Xinzhang's small stories from time to time, when learning things, they will draw inferences from one another, one point is clear, even if the master hides and does not teach them, they themselves look at it, and they have figured out a lot of things.

When the news came back, it instantly shocked the people in the village.

As a result, there were only a dozen or so children of seven or eight years old, but the private school was instantly expanded to more than 30.

Even people from nearby villages heard about it and sent people to beg the head of Niujia Village, hoping that their children would also be literate together.

In fact, there is a private school in a nearby village, but it is a showman's run, and it costs nearly one or two taels of silver to study in it every year, and he has to give a gift to his husband during the New Year's holidays, and ordinary people can't afford to read it at all.

But Niu Xinzhang's private school is different, he usually doesn't confiscate money at all, just the villagers give him some food.

Of course, the most important thing is that he teaches effective results, and the effect is remarkable.

That's probably due to his knack for storytelling.

For children of this age, they already like to go up and down the river and play everywhere.

I can't calm down and study at all.

The private school opened by Xiucai is written every day in addition to endorsing, and if you make a mistake and write a wrong word, you have to take a board, for some children who don't like to read, this is torture at all, how can you study seriously?

But because Niu Xinzhang didn't take these country children to heart, he didn't think about telling them the Four Books and Five Classics at all, he taught them to recognize a few words every day, and then told a few stories, so that he could be confused for a day.

These children grew up in the countryside, and all they can hear are the stories of the elders in the family.

So when I heard the story told by Niu Xinzhang, I was immediately shocked, and I studied very seriously in order to listen to the story.

After all, they recognize so many words every day, and they don't let them do much, so it's easy for them to learn. Over time, I really recognized a lot of words.

Because of the story of Niu Xinzhang, he also broadened a lot of horizons and had a different understanding of the world.

Niu Xinzhang is also crooked.

is also because of those children who work in the city, Niu Xinzhang's reputation in the village is particularly good, even if he didn't like him in the past and couldn't get used to him, now he doesn't dare to speak ill of him.

After all, their family also has children studying at Niu Xinzhang's place.

Even if you don't have it now, you will have it in the future.

Niu Xinzhang was originally just perfunctory, but he didn't want to be respected by everyone.

He had never felt such respect before, especially when parents sent their children and did not hesitate to stuff them with all kinds of things.

Although it was just eggs and bacon or something like that, he was inexplicably heartwarming, and he was full of ambition for a while, and he was determined to teach well.

I didn't want to teach the Analects for a few days, but I saw the child dozing off in class, and he didn't pay attention to the lecture at all, so he was so angry that he slammed the table.

When I got home, I kept my face black.

Duan Xiaomei asked, "Husband, what's wrong with you?" Who you off? Hurry up, you see, both sons are looking at you. ”

Niu Xinzhang lowered his head and looked.

Sure enough, the two little ones stared at him curiously with a pair of big eyes.

"It wasn't the students yet, I gave them a lecture on the Analects, and they fell asleep! Hum! I'm going to have to talk to their parents! Niu Xinzhang complained, bent down and reached out to pick up the boss Niu Yuanshun and lift it high, "Shunzi, come, Dad will lift you high." ”

Junko is also not afraid of heights, giggling.

Seeing that he was no longer angry, Duan Xiaomei looked at the two fathers and sons with a smile, and shook them around with the second Niu Yuan'an.

Later, Jiang Ru found out about this and persuaded him with tears and laughter.

"There aren't many of these children who are going to go to the imperial examination in the future, so what's the use of you giving them the Analects?"

Niu Xinzhang said: "This is what the master taught us when he taught us before, and since I want to teach them, I naturally have to teach the Analects. ”

Jiang Ru shook his head, "You studied the Analects from your master for more than a year, and now most of the villagers send their children here just to recognize a few words, just like those children in the first half of the year, they can recognize all the words so that they can find a job."

If you want to teach them the Analects, they don't listen to it at all, and they won't learn anything at that time, so what's the use? You've been here like this yourself, don't you understand their fun-loving heart? ”

"Then I'll follow what I was taught." Niu Xinzhang thought of his past, a little embarrassed, and a little disheartened, and his face was suddenly depressed.

Originally, he wanted to show off his ambitions and teach a few talents.

Jiang Ru looked at him, and for some reason, she suddenly felt distressed, and she clutched her chest and gasped.

[Eleven!] There must be something wrong with this body, right? ]

Eleven Bubbling: [Not sick, the host's heartache is due to the original soul's trouble.] ]

Jiang Ru was stunned, [The original body is still there?] ]

[Except for the first world of the novice, in the rest of the worlds, the soul of the supplicant will sleep in the body, waiting for the end of this life before continuing to reincarnate.] ]

Jiang Ru's eyes lit up when he heard it.

[Then can I leave directly after completing the mission and let the original body continue to live?] ]

If every world had to live to death, it would be a bit of trouble for her.

She just wants to accumulate points quickly and return to the original world to save her daughter.

Eleven was silent for a moment.

[I just checked, and it's okay, but if there is a problem with the mission objective later, the host's points are likely to be reduced.] ]

Jiang Ru thought for a moment and asked: [How much will it be lowered?] ]

[Half at most, because half is a guaranteed score.] Eleven answered truthfully.

[Okay, I'll leave when this mission is almost complete.] ]

"Mother? What happened to you? Niu Xinzhang looked at Jiang Ru suspiciously, his eyes flashing with a strange light.

Jiang Ru came back to his senses, "I'm fine." I was just thinking about one thing. ”

"What's the matter?" Niu Xinzhang's heart tightened.

Am I doing something wrong lately? She wants to fix me again?

"If you want to teach well, you can let the children who want to read continue their classes in the afternoon. You go to class as usual in the morning, and in the afternoon you talk about the Analects and so on. Jiang Ru said.

"But they don't like to hear that." Niu Xinzhang shook his head, "Even Xiao Jiang, who likes to read, doesn't like it very much, and he is sleepy when he listens." ”

Jiang Ru frowned, and asked suspiciously, "You shouldn't copy what your master said, right?" ”

To be honest, Niu Xinzhang is really talented for reading. Because he has an ability that is very useful for readers, and that is to remember it.

He didn't say that he memorized it after reading it once, but after reading it three or four times, he basically memorized it.

Therefore, Jiang Ru's suspicion is definitely not unreasonable.

Sure enough, I saw Niu Xinzhang say, "That's right." ”

Jiang Ru was helpless.

That talented man is in his forties, and he has not yet been admitted to the Juren, he is very sour, and he will only die of reading when he reads, and he will basically not be flexible, so his teaching ability may not be as good as Niu Xinzhang.
