Chapter 280: Jia's Primary School Takes Shape
"Actually, you gave me the answer, she was just a fertility grace to me, and she was born and carried to you, raised all the way to the age of fifteen, and then entered the palace. You ransomed me with your dowry, and gave me back your own private house. Money doesn't matter, but I don't really seem to owe her anything other than that half-life."
"Actually, you have already returned it to her, you entered the palace and renewed your life for the Jia family for five years. Because of you and your eldest brother and younger brother, I have endured her all these years. Otherwise, I would have locked it up a long time ago." Ou Mengmeng let out a long sigh, "So there is blood, and the voice is louder. You are my granddaughter, and you are my blood, so I am like your mother, and I can say out loud that she is not qualified to rule over you."
"Really, the etiquette law also says that raising grace is greater than giving birth, you raise me, teach me, and work hard for this family, the Jia family has today, it is all the work of the grandmother, even if you let your granddaughter die now, the granddaughter will not dare to object." Jia Ying said solemnly.
"Go, no one can say such things. You are your own, and I, your father, your mother, your husband, and your children, are not qualified to let you die. Do you understand?" Ou Mengmeng immediately blackened, it was easy to raise with real money, you tell me, let you die, there will be no objection, who taught this?
"Yes!" Jia Ying smiled, she really thought that her grandmother was a funny, kind and upright old man. She really loves every junior, and she doesn't need their return, thinking about Jia Pu, she sighed secretly in her heart, so some children, are they actually not good at teaching?
After lunch, she was going back with Zhang Zhen, but Ou Mengmeng didn't send it, just watched them kowtow to herself, and waved them away. And Jia Zheng was on the side, and his eyes were red again.
Jia Yu deeply felt that his younger brother was hopeless. However, looking at the old lady, she also felt a little uneasy, so she could only gently support Ou Mengmeng, "Mother, why don't you take advantage of the spring to send someone to pick up Dai'er back and go to the suburbs for a walk?" Didn't you like flying kites last year?"
"Yes, it's time to get them back. Fortunately, there will be nothing big until their filial piety." Ou Mengmeng nodded, there are happy events in the house, even Li Kun will deliberately avoid it, how smart Daiyu and Baochai are, they are busy finding an excuse and go home again.
"Yes, the school is going to try, and it is estimated that the family is also chaotic, so you can take the children to the countryside to play, so as not to be disturbed." Jia Yu accompanied the smiling face.
"Okay, you can arrange it! Don't make a big noise, let's go quietly." Ou Mengmeng thought about it and said. They went out once before, and everyone heard that they had gone to the countryside, and they all handed over posts, saying that they were also hiding in the countryside and wanted to come to visit. It's a bit annoying.
"Yes!" Jia Yu nodded with a smile.
"Ancestor, the uncle actually posted a notice, saying that the tuition fee in our school is 500 taels a year, even in Chengnan Academy, it is only 40 taels a year." Zhao Chong hurriedly stretched out his head and complained to the old lady. In addition to the official school, Seongnam Academy is a famous academy in the capital, and every three years there are many people who are admitted to the exam. There are also Hanlin who have a temporary position in the academy. The family was only forty and one years, but it turned out that their small private school cost five hundred and two hundred and one years. Zhao Chong felt that his uncle was really crazy!
"Is it enough?" Ou Mengmeng hurriedly looked at Jia Yu.
Zhao Chong's eyes widened, this, the old ancestor didn't say enough. This is too much. However, seeing that Jia Yu was about to speak, he hurriedly shut up.
"The main thing is that only twenty people are recruited, and our Jia family has three of them, Jia Huan, Jia Lan, and Jia Yun. There are only seventeen places to collect money. At the end of the year, each person can only earn a hundred taels, and there is a loss." Jia Yu sighed, feeling that he had only earned 1,700 taels a year after working tirelessly. is similar to Jia Zheng, and this has to be given to Jia Zhen in half, which means that he doesn't earn as much as Jia Zheng, and he is really shameless.
"Jia Yun?" Ou Mengmeng was a little familiar with this name.
"It's the son of Jia Li, the fifth old man under the corridor in the west, Jia Li's body and bones are not good, and he has always been sick and crooked, so Chong'er went to see it, and he was rich and sick, and he had to be raised. At the beginning, he said that he was the leader, but in fact, he wanted to help him. That kid is also smart, and when Brother Zhen went to get someone, the shopkeeper was reluctant."
"Okay, it's good to be smart, charge such an expensive tuition, and the clan will know that we are really dedicated to the clan." Ou Mengmeng nodded, still didn't remember who it was, but forget it, it sounds familiar, it is estimated that there is a role in the book, now let him read, estimate
It's still a good thing, think about it, "As for the students, take your time, take 20 this year, and 20 next year. There are now three gentlemen in the school, so we can start a three-year term." Ou Mengmeng thought about it and said.
"Three years is too little, my son wants five years. Add two more courses, the six arts of the gentleman, we learn calligraphy, etiquette, archery, royalty, and mathematics, and we have added a law before, and my son wants to join music and poetry. We can't say that our school only teaches philistines." Jia Yu hurriedly said.
"Yes." Ou Mengmeng nodded, the six arts of the gentleman are actually in Ou Mengmeng's opinion, in fact, they are the primary school curriculum.
Like etiquette, it is political and ideological education, and children are very important, so they must always have three views from an early age, right?
Music is music, in fact, it is to learn music theory, learn musical instruments, ancient nobles, this is also a necessary skill for going out to socialize.
Archery and royalty are the riding and archery lessons they learn every afternoon, but they are not complete. For example, archery was mainly used in the Qing Dynasty, but since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, archery has included more things. Archery and slingshots, crossbows were also invented in the Spring and Autumn Period, and later the literati of the Wei and Jin dynasties added throwing pots, barrel shooting, and the like. In addition to horseback riding, there are also driving cars, as well as sports and intellectual activities such as polo. It is also a compulsory subject for aristocratic socialization. Otherwise, even if the Jia family did not have a husband, each family sent someone to ask if they could transfer to the class, their family was only for exercise, but outsiders felt that this was the behavior that a noble school should have.
As for storytelling, it actually refers to calligraphy, calligraphy and painting classes. Cultivate students' elegant artistic ability. Of course, the Jia family didn't teach them before, they only gave them calligraphy in the pavilion style, and honestly practiced it for me. But since it is going to be a five-year system, then she also minds calligraphy and painting to find someone to teach, anyway, she doesn't need a very good master, the master introduces the door, and the practice depends on the individual.
In Ou Mengmeng's view, number is mathematics, but ancient mathematics is very developed, anyway, since the Han Dynasty, there have been "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" The old ladies can't understand it, and their numbers also include mathematics, Zhou Yi, Hetu, and Luoshu. Ou Mengmeng only asked them to teach forms, account books, and abacus, and the first five items were quite elegant, so now you should be grounded.
As for the law, it is the law of this dynasty, and this is actually included in the ritual class early on. Originally, they had replaced the law class with the ideological education class. Now is it difficult for her to compile an ideological and moral book for them? I thought of these broken children of the Jia family, and their courage exceeded their weight, so I asked Jia Yuyi to take over and buy a set of law books first, so that they could carry some on their backs every day.
Coupled with the teaching of poetry and literature, this course can actually be added to music. Like Chu Ci, Book of Songs, Yuefu, Song Ci, and Yuan Qu, they are actually lyrics. People have soundtracks, and they sing it in the folk. It's just that the score is gone, and the text remains.
In addition to the eight strands of literature, policy theory, and scripture in the county examination of the children's examination. I also have to take the test of sticking poems and laws. Originally, this was a small way, and it would not be taught seriously in the general school. The master taught to write articles, and when he wrote articles on the fourth and sixth chapters, he would teach phonology, leveling, and battles. Like Jia Yu, he deliberately wants to open the class alone, but it's a bit interesting. Look at the book
Therefore, in addition to English, language, mathematics, ideology and morality, music, art, and physical education are available in several courses in primary school, and they also have social practice, so this curriculum arrangement is more reasonable.
