During the three months of the national funeral, no marriage, no banquets, no frolicking and fun were allowed in the city, and Lin Shuran took this opportunity to close the door and start her plan to train her baby.

Just after breakfast that day, Lin Shuran called the eldest Xu Mingchen, the second Xu Mingye, the third Xu Minghan, the fourth Xu Mingfan, the fifth Xu Mingyuan, the sixth Xu Mingzhou and the seventh Xu Minghao, and then pointed to a big camphor box in front of them and said: "This is a book sent by the Lin family early in the morning, which is the only book I have read before, from today onwards, each of you will take a copy back and copy it well, remember to copy it yourself and write your name, you can ask Mr. Bai if you don't know the words or don't understand something, You can also come and ask me. ”

In Lin Shuran's view, there is no shortcut to reading, even if you are a talented person, you have to pay 99% of your efforts.

Although copying books seems to be a very stupid method, this persistent process can exercise a person's concentration and endurance, not only can enhance memory, reserve knowledge, but also self-cultivation, and at the same time can also practice calligraphy to improve calligraphy ability, which is simply a lot of benefits.

These children are energetic, and copying books is just the right thing to sharpen their temperament.

"Ah-" Xu Minghao directly wailed and sat on the ground, looking at Lin Shuran and begging with a blank look in his eyes, "Mother, can I not copy the book?" ”

Lin Shuran looked at him and shook his head with a serious face, Xu Minghao's little head drooped, and then suddenly as if he remembered something, he complained: "Then why don't you let Brother Xuan copy the book?" ”

"Brother Xuan is a year younger than you, and he is still a little early to copy books, he has other things to do this year!" Xu Minghao will be eight years old after the New Year, and Xu Mingxuan is only seven years old, Lin Shuran wants to guide him to study in other ways.

"What else?" Xu Minghao was a little envious of Xu Mingxuan, no matter what it was, it must be easier than copying books, but when he learned afterwards that Xu Mingxuan had to memorize an ancient poem a day, he felt that it was better to copy books, at least it was not a matter of brains and hands.

"My hand hurts!" When it comes to reading and learning characters, Xu Mingye is also a big one, he would rather practice martial arts for twelve hours than turn a page of a book, and he doesn't go to the top exam, so he bother to study and do something.

"Your hands are already good, no one wants to escape, copying books in the future will be the family rule of the Xu family!" Compared with Xu Minghao, who doesn't like to read, Xu Mingye is what makes Lin Shuran feel more headache, he and Xu Mingchen are generally old, they are both thirteen years old this year, but they don't know a few words, and if they don't hurry up and let him study, he will really become illiterate.

In this time and space, the gap between the rich and the poor, and the gap between the families are very large, and the children of ordinary people may not have the opportunity to study in their lifetime, Xu Mingye Since they are already in the high gate, there are such good conditions and opportunities in front of them, it is impossible for Lin Shuran to watch them waste time and miss the opportunity in vain.

Lin Shuran's attitude insisted, and the others didn't dare to say anything, looking at the box of books in front of them, they lowered their heads and looked at each other, sighed with sympathy, and under Lin Shuran's eyes, one of them left with a book.

The fourth Xu Mingfan was the last to take the book from the box, and he accepted Lin Shuran's decision to let them copy the book, anyway, he usually had the habit of copying books, but he didn't leave after taking the book.

"Brother Fan, is there anything else?" Seeing that Xu Mingfan wanted to speak and stopped, Lin Shuran asked him suspiciously.

Xu Mingfan glanced up at her, pursed his lower lips, and plucked up the courage to say: "Mother, the sixth day of the first month of this month is the first children's exam, I want to take the exam, is it okay?" ”

"The sixth year of junior high school?" Today is the second day of the second month of February, and it is only four days before the sixth day of the new year, Lin Shuran looked at Xu Mingfan with some surprise and asked, "You want to participate in the children's exam, I don't object to it, but why do you say it now?" Seeing that the first exam is about to take place, is it too late to register? ”

As soon as Xu Mingfan heard that Lin Shuran did not object, he immediately replied with a smile: "It's too late, Mr. Bai said that I had time to register the day before the exam!" Then, he explained embarrassedly, "My mother has been busy with everything before, and I don't want my mother to worry about my affairs anymore. ”

Facing such a sensible and confident Xu Mingfan, Lin Shuran also showed a relieved smile, but Xu Mingfan was only ten years old after all, although it was only a children's exam, but I heard that the exam was also very hard and harsh.

"The boy exam has to be taken five times in a row, can you stand it?" Compared with the exam, Lin Shuran was more worried that Xu Mingfan's body would not be able to stand it.

"Mother, it's okay, I can stand it!" Isn't it just five exams, and he's not afraid at all.

"Then you should review your homework next, and then talk about copying books, I will send you on the day of the exam, and prepare more food for you, by the way, I will find you a scholar when I go back, do you want to find a more lively or quieter one?" Suddenly learned that Xu Mingfan was going to participate in the children's exam, Lin Shuran also became anxious, there are many children in the family, she has recently put her mind on Xu Mingchen's affairs, but she has neglected other children.

Xu Mingfan tightened his mouth and shook his head sourly, in fact, every time he saw Lin Shuran paying so much attention to Xu Mingchen and Xu Minghao, he was envious and jealous, he also wanted to be the special child in Lin Shuran's eyes, knowing that she liked children who could read, so he also wanted to take the children's test like Zhang Songlin, he used to want to prove that he was very good at reading, but now he wants to prove it to Lin Shuran and Xu Junze, so that they know that he is also a very good child!

"Mother, I don't need a scholar, I can do it myself!" Xu Mingfan didn't want to make trouble for Lin Shuran anymore, they had many children, and he would be very satisfied if he could give him some attention.

The young master and miss of the big family have subordinates around them, I don't know for what reason, Xu Junze did not send people to Xu Mingchen and their side to follow before, but only sent secret guards in the dark to protect their safety, and usually let the family follow when they go out, so there are no scholars and no close servants around the young masters of the Xu family.

Lin Shuran also felt that there was no need for others to help her what she could do, but after being an ancient lady in this time and space for more than three years, she felt that it was still necessary to add some manpower to herself, because in this way, she would have more time to concentrate on what she wanted to do.

After thinking about this, she decided that the next thing to do was to add some right-hand men to the children, but where could she find the right people?
