Xu Sanchun originally thought that since he could probably guess these words, he would go back and slowly learn to recognize them, and he would always be able to recognize them all. It's just that Zhao Liang asked like this, and she didn't know how to answer for a while.

Can a person who has never learned to read and write learn entirely by self-study? It sounded too fantastical for her to explain.

She was a little embarrassed, and the dumb lady stepped forward and gestured, "I can teach you." She didn't understand it, and she couldn't teach her to compose poetry, let alone write articles, but teaching her to read and write, there was no problem at all.

"Dumb girl, can you teach me?" Xu Sanchun asked in surprise.

The dumb lady looked at her and smiled kindly and nodded.

Although, her biological mother said that she should not be allowed to learn calligraphy, she does not need to be excellent, as long as she is incognito and stable, it is enough to live a good life.

But ah, seeing that Xu Sanchun has such a studious heart, how can she bear not to teach? With such a child, can she really bear to make her an illiterate person who can't read a single word?

The dumb girl's heart softened again.

It's okay, it's just Nanfeng Town, a poor rural area.

Li Liang looked at the dumb lady in surprise, he didn't expect this ordinary woman to be literate? He looked away, and looked at the dumb girl attentively.

After taking a closer look, he didn't know if it was a psychological factor, he felt that under the ordinary and simple appearance of the dumb girl, there was a calm and calm temperament.

And this kind of temperament, he has only seen in those big families.

"My former master family treated people well, and anyone who wanted to learn could go to the school to listen to the class. I couldn't do much work when I was young, so I went to study for more than half a year, and I knew all the words I needed. The dumb lady explained.

What kind of family was her original master's family? Xu Sanchun became curious.

Ask the embroidery lady to teach the little maid embroidery, and allow them to go to the class. Such a good master's house, it sounds like there should be a generous and tolerant master, why did he commit a crime and be raided?

Xu Sanchun felt that the dumb girl was not just an inconspicuous little maid before, maybe a maid who could serve her master closely. Otherwise, where would she have learned so much.

However, since she didn't say it, there was a reason not to say it, and Xu Sanchun didn't ask again.

After buying these things, the two returned home, and Xu Sanchun looked at the "Three Character Classic". The dumb lady took out a plain flower note and prepared to start writing a prayer post.

This kind of plain paper is not the same as the rough-edged paper used to practice calligraphy, it is about the size of a book, narrower, and hard. Smooth to the touch and off-white, it is perfect for writing prayer posts.

She was stunned for a little while holding the plain flower note, and then put it aside to bring water to grind the ink.

"I'll help you." Xu Sanchun took the ink strip in her hand and crushed it one by one in the same way as the dumb girl had done before. Grinding ink is a laborious thing, and it was the first time she did it, but fortunately, there was nothing wrong with the guidance of the dumb girl.

Ink inkstones are very common materials, but it's good to be able to write.

The dumb lady thought about it, and first practiced the words to be written a few times on the rough-edged paper that was spread out. No matter how old Xu Sanchun is, she hasn't touched pen and paper for many years.

There must be a familiar process for the re-use of the knowledge that has been learned. After several pages of writing, the words in the pen took shape.

The font of the dumb girl is clear and graceful, and the words are like her person.

Xu Sanchun looked at the dumb lady with admiration, "Dumb girl, how many skills do you still have hidden that you haven't taken out?" For so many years, the Xu family has only let you do hard work, which is too much! ”

She took the dumb girl's hand and looked at the cocoon on it in distress.

These hands should have been holding pens! As far as she can see, there are few people in the town who can read, and the dumb lady has this ability, even if she helps people write letters and Spring Festival couplets, life will not be so hard.

It's just that when she thought about it, the dumb lady was not short of money.

Therefore, why should the dumb girl endure humiliation in the Xu family, Xu Sanchun really can't understand.

The dumb lady smiled absently, "I didn't tell them. Only in front of Xu Sanchun, she won't hide, and no one in Tiantai Township knows her skills.

"You are not allowed to tell anyone." She admonished.

Xu Sanchun didn't understand what she meant, what was wrong with letting others know? But she would not disobey the dumb girl's meaning, so she nodded in response, thought about it and said, "But today Boss Zhao already knows." ”

"I don't think he's a man of many words." The dumb lady thought that Zhao Liang would not take this matter to chew his tongue behind his back.

Xu Sanchun said "um", "I think it is, too." ”

While the two were talking, the ink of the worship post had been dried, and Xu Sanchun happily went out with the worship post. Half an hour later, she came home.

Did it go well? Dumb girl gesture.

Xu Sanchun nodded and said, "I handed it to the guard guarding the door, and he promised to help me present it." ”

"Dumb girl, come and teach me how to read!" She was so impatient that she even stepped aside from embroidery.

"Okay."

The two of them carried a large table out of the room, used it as a bookcase, and spread the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone on the table.

The dumb lady took the three-character scripture and taught it from the simplest first sentence.

One concentrates on teaching, the other concentrates on learning.

There was no sound of talking in the courtyard, only the roses that were blooming brightly, swaying gently in the wind. In a clear sky washed by heavy rain, white clouds change shapes and cast different shadows.

Time flew by until a voice broke the silence.

"Miharu, are you at home?"

Xu Sanchun put down his pen and opened the door, and saw a familiar face.

"It turned out to be Sister Pei Ling, why did you come in person?" Xu Sanchun didn't expect that it would be her replying in person. This kind of trivial thing can be completed by the next person who learns embroidery.

"I was going to go to Main Street to buy something, and I heard that you have settled down in Nanfeng Town, so I stopped by to take a look." Jia Peiling handed her the reply and said, "Cai Niang agreed, you will come tomorrow." ”

Xu Sanchun took the reply with both hands, invited her to come in and sit, and introduced her to the dumb girl. "This is my adoptive mother, if it weren't for her, I'm afraid I would have been out of this world a long time ago."

Hearing this, a flash of admiration flashed in Jia Peiling's eyes, and she respectfully greeted the dumb girl.

The brocade mansion is transcendent, but they are also human beings, and they also have six relatives in the world. Since she was a child, her father taught her according to Confucian etiquette, and "filial piety" was the first one.

The dumb lady hurriedly returned the salute, and went back to the room to give the place to the two girls to speak.

Jia Peiling looked at the table and laughed, and asked, "Are you writing?" ”

Xu Sanchun was a little embarrassed, "Let you laugh." It's not idle, I just want to learn to read and write. She didn't say it was the dumb lady who was teaching her.

Because of her talented father, Jia Peiling has recognized words since she was a child, and even read some of the Four Books and Five Classics. However, she knows that there are very few literate people in ordinary people's homes.

"You don't have to worry, after you enter the embroidery school, you will also teach literacy." She revealed a bit of information, and it wasn't some core secret.
