Mr. Suma came in, but it was an old man with gray hair and beard, with a clear appearance, dressed in a simple robe, looking ruddy and healthy, and he strode to the chair and sat down, with an air of not being angry and arrogant. Jin Zangfeng and Jin Seal, led by the older children in the clan, respectfully bowed to Confucius and the teacher before returning to their seats and sitting down.

The children of the clan are of different ages, ranging from five to ten years old, to ten to thirteen years old, and from thirteen to sixteen years old. After the age of sixteen, he will not be in the family school, and those with good grades can go to famous academies, and those with bad grades can also go to ordinary academies. If there is a family that is really poor but has very good grades, his own clan will pay for him to go to the academy.

At that moment, the great Confucian introduced his name, and began to teach, but it started from the three-character scripture, for a while, the students in the school were stunned, they were all together, as early as three or four years old, they could recite the three-character scripture, why should they talk about it at this time? But he didn't dare to question Mr., so his face showed more impatience.

Jin Zangfeng also felt bored, he had already memorized these three words, and Fu Qiuning had also explained them in detail. However, after listening to it for a moment, I felt that although this gentleman was talking about the Three Character Sutra, the knowledge involved in it was really vast, and the scriptures were quoted and analyzed one by one, which was both easy to understand and impressive. He liked to study, and he listened to it at once.

A class is half an hour, after the end of the class, the gentleman drifted away, the school immediately opened the pot, everyone talked about it, and they all felt that this great Confucian was not worthy of the name. Jin Zangfeng seriously recalled what Mr. said, and silently recorded some of the key points, writing with a face full of excitement. Not far from another person. frowned and fell into contemplation, he was Jiang Wanying's five-year-old son Jin Zhenxuan.

Seeing Jin Zangfeng writing hard, naturally there were ridicules, what concentration can a nine-year-old child have? What's more, he was still ridiculed by his younger brother, who was three years younger than him. Jin Zangfeng was angry in his heart. I wanted to ridicule each other several times, but every time I remembered my mother's words, I swallowed those words back into my stomach. Just continue to read as usual.

Finally, on the first day of school, everyone didn't dare to make too much of it, and Mr. got out of school early in the afternoon. Jin Zangfeng walked out the door. I saw my sister waiting for me under the big locust tree not far away. When he saw himself coming out, he beckoned vigorously.

The brother and sister went home hand in hand, passing through the Yongcui Garden, while talking about interesting things in the school, they returned to the evening breeze after two quarters of an hour, only to see Fu Qiuning and Yujie Yuniang laying turquoise edamame in the courtyard, the two laughed happily and ran in and said, "Mother." Are edamame and peanuts out? Did you eat boiled peanuts and edamame today? “

Fu Qiuning was very happy to see them come back, stood up and said, "But it's finally back." Let me hang my heart for a day, ...... Go back and change your clothes. The peanuts and edamame are boiled and ready to eat after washing your hands. My mother will finish this last point and come back to talk to you.

The brother and sister agreed and ran back to the room, and here Yujie couldn't help but smile and said, "Grandma and Yu Niang can rest assured this time, right?" Today and one day, my ears have been calloused by you. Thanks to grandma and said that she was finally back, look at the sky, I'm afraid it's just not in the middle of the day, didn't you say it? If you go to the clan school, you will not leave school until the end of the day at the earliest. It must be because of the first day of school, so Miss Young Master came back so early. ”

Fu Qiuning and Yu Niang both nodded yes, and said with a smile: "We said ours, you have to listen to the side, who is to blame for the calloon?" After speaking, Yujie also smiled, gritted his teeth and said: "You are used to saying this, your ears don't listen, can I control it?" ”

The three of them laughed, spread the last few catties of edamame in the courtyard and on the big balcony, and then turned home, changed their clothes and washed their hands, only to see that Jin Zangfeng and Jin Zangjiao, brother and sister, had already eaten, and a bunch of edamame peanut skins around them, seeing them come in, Fang stood up from the chair and grinned: "I just saw that there were not many edamame beans left in the basket, and I was really hungry, I thought about eating a little first and then going out to help my mother get it, but I didn't expect that while eating, my mother came back." After speaking, he and Jin Zangjiao put a plate of edamame peanuts in front of Fu Qiuning respectfully, and said in unison: "Mother is hard, please use some." ”

Fu Qiuning said to Yujie and Yu Niang: "It's not time to cook dinner, you can also sit down and eat some." ”

Yujie and Yu Niang each served a plate, sat on the underground maza, and listened to the two brothers and sisters tell the scene in the school while eating.

"We are in the initiation class, all boys from five to ten years old, Mr. Lin really deserves to be a great Confucian, he taught us a few three-character scriptures and two poems in the morning, and wrote two big characters. In the afternoon, I came over to teach half of the Analects, and there was a Mr. Qi who taught us poetry and chess......"

Jin Zangfeng spoke excitedly, and after finishing speaking, Yu Niang couldn't help but wonder: "Listening to what the young master said, isn't this all taught by grandma?" Why do you learn this in the classroom? ”

"What Mr. talks about is still very different from his mother's, and there are some younger brothers and sisters in the school, they haven't learned so many books from me, so they naturally have to start from the basics." As he spoke, Jin Zangfeng took out the paper he recorded from his schoolbag and gave it to Fu Qiuning, and said, "Mother, you see, this is what Mr. said, and I have written down all the important ones." ”

Fu Qiuning took it and looked at it, and said with a smile: "Sure enough, it's a great Confucian, no wonder your father is full of praise for him, a three-character scripture, let him tell so many things, look at it like this, this is still superficial and not going deeper, otherwise with your age, you will definitely have to struggle." After speaking, she put away the paper and said with a smile: "Feng'er records it well, and when the record is full of a hundred sheets of paper, my mother will bind it for you with thread, and then it can be used as a book to review." ”

Jin Zangfeng nodded, and Fu Qiuning turned to Jin Zangjiao again and said, "What did Jiao'er learn today?" ”

Jin Zangjiao giggled and said: "At first, I also learned some three-character scriptures, and then taught embroidery stitching, the female gentleman is very good, looks soft, quiet and doesn't talk much, not as majestic as the old master my brother said, but the craftsmanship is really excellent, when will I be able to tie flowers like her, I want to be able to compare with my mother." Yes, the female gentleman also said that my sister and I play the piano very well, let's study hard. ”

Fu Qiuning said with a smile: "Among children, the piano skills of the two of you are not bad, and your father praised you that day, but you must not be proud, if you put it in the eyes of adults, it is really nothing." After saying that, he heard Jin Zangjiao smile and said: "This daughter naturally knows when she can play a tune like her mother's mother, which can be regarded as a small success, right?" I also want to be like my mother, playing the piano and singing at the same time, that's good. ”

The family was talking lively, when they suddenly heard an exclamation outside the courtyard gate: "This is ...... What's going on? What are they? It was Jin Fengju's voice.

Fu Qiuning hurriedly stood up, clapped his palms and said, "Oh no, don't you come in recklessly and step on edamame, right?" After speaking, he hurriedly rushed out to see, only to see Jin Fengju and Jin Ming standing on the gap in the middle of the road and walking forward cautiously, surrounded by blue-green edamame, seeing Fu Qiuning come out, he pointed to the edamame and asked: "Qiuning, what are you doing here?" How do you pave all the roads? ”

"This is soybeans, taking advantage of the fine weather these days, it is going to be dried, and then the beans are peeled out, there can be dozens of catties, and the raw bean sprouts or beans are extremely delicious at that time." Fu Qiuning was busy explaining, but saw Jin Fengju walking up the steps and said with a smile: "Good guy, even the steps are full, this is a bit like the plum blossom stake when I practiced, fortunately I didn't fall behind this kung fu, otherwise I would have to trample on your beans." It's just so much, how did you peel it off? When the time comes, shall I call a few old mothers to come over and help? You don't need to thank me, just send your raw bean sprouts and boiled beans to your ancestors, your wife, and me. ”

"Then you still don't have to call the old mother over, we can peel it for more than ten days, and we can always peel it well. If this is in the countryside, there is a field and a stone mill, but it will be done in one day. Well, if I use your people, I'm going to take most of my beans, but won't I die? Fu Qiuning pursed his lips and refused bluntly.

"You're just a stingy person, and these pounds of beans are so clear to me." Jin Fengju smiled, and when he saw Jin Zangfeng and Jin Zangjiao, he touched their heads and smiled: "How?" How was the first day of learning? Have you listened to the lectures? Is there a bully who doesn't open your eyes? Tell Daddy, come, tell me everything you've learned this day. ”

Fu Qiuning said with a smile: "The children just finished talking to me, and you came over, I knew it was so, let them speak later, listen with you, and save them two times of lip service." After speaking, he said to Yu Jie: "Go and pour tea for the master, you are still addicted to listening, and you don't even have this little eye." ”

Yujie said with a smile: "Listening to Miss Young Master's lively conversation, grandma knows that the slave maid has never gone to school, so it is inevitable to listen to it." With that, he went out. Jin Fengju saw the edamame peanuts on the table at a glance, and couldn't help laughing: "It can be seen that God helps people, you think you are secretly eating good things in the house, but you didn't expect to be caught up by me, right?" After speaking, he picked it up and ate it, nodding his head and praised: "It's delicious." ”

Fu Qiuning and Yu Niang couldn't help laughing, thinking that if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, who would believe that this was the little Hou Ye of the Hou Mansion? It's as if I've been hungry for days. Because Jin Zangfeng told his father about his experience again, Jin Feng nodded and smiled: "It can be seen that you are not proud, and you have listened to the class." Speaking of which, Xuan'er performed well this time, just now I went to the backyard and asked about the children's learning, Yi'er is still so uncompetitive, only knows that he can be good at poetry and music, but Xuan'er has made great progress, which is similar to what Feng'er said. I guess that this must be because Wanying saw that I liked Feng'er Jiao'er, and finally was willing to educate the child well, so that Xuan'er really cared about learning, otherwise she didn't know anything before. ”

Fu Qiuning said with a smile: "This is a good thing, but I want to congratulate you." At this time, Yujie brought tea, and she took it and put it next to Jin Fengju herself. (To be continued)
