The Path of the Peasant Girl

Chapter 81 080 Reading
"What, reading?" Wen was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, his face became normal and soothed.

"Reading is very important, but do you all want to go?" Wen asked.

"All, if we don't know how to read in the future, we'll be blind, and we won't know if we've been deceived by others, so how can we do it?" Zuo Shi said, "Although we don't need to learn so advanced knowledge, reading can help us understand. Etiquette, reading can broaden our horizons, and reading is good for us in the future, so we should all read and read more.”

Wen nodded: "Okay, as long as the family conditions allow, you will study for a few more years."

Zuo Shi nodded: "Yes, girls from aristocratic families have been reading poetry and books since childhood, and reading is useless is a fallacy. The main reason is that they can't afford to read, and who doesn't?"

"Big sister, little sister, little brother, you have to study hard and write well. Especially little brother, you are the only boy in our family, you can only do it after you study. Chen Xiucai was admitted to the jinshi examination, and finally became a high-ranking official. Let our family change into a family of scholars, and if your sisters get married in the future, if they are wronged, they will rely on you to help us get ahead." Zuo Shi said.

Speaking of which, she was also a little helpless. If she was a boy, it would not be Ke Zuojiang's turn at all.

She herself entered the school early, and she struggled in the officialdom, climbing all the way up, maybe she could become a high-ranking official.

It's not impossible, it's certain, she will definitely do her best to get ahead.

Instead of pinning her hopes on others like this now, she is not such a person. It is better to rely on herself than anyone else, and she is the most reliable.

There is no other way but to settle for the next best thing.

Zuo Jiang listened to his little head and nodded heavily: "Well, okay, second sister, I am a man in our family, and I will definitely protect my sisters."

Everyone laughed, this concept is the concept that Zuo Shi kept instilling in him, so that it is now formed.

As the only boy in the family, although he is still young, his room temperature is the courage to support it. If they say that there are all girls in it, it is estimated that Wen shi would have crossed it long ago.

In other words, even if Wen can survive, it will not be better than the current situation. In ancient times, the existence of male children was much better than that of female children.

The matter of reading is so agreed upon.

The next day, Mrs. Wen took the apprenticeship ceremony and showered the family's children to the only teacher's house in the village, that is, an old scholar in the village named Feng Deng.

One of the few scholars in Qingquan Village, Fengdeng City, was already in his 40s when he was a scholar. He wanted to take the Juren examination, but he failed repeatedly. He didn’t stop until he was 50 years old. He returned to his hometown and started teaching children. They read books.

Although he is old-fashioned, he has no problem with his character. He also taught Song Yaowen, a scholar, and is very respected by the villagers.

When the greenhouse was hot, I brought a pork, two packs of snacks, a pot of wine, a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, as well as the bundles they needed.

In the village, it is relatively cheap to do calculations. A child has one tael of silver a year. Every ten days of school, there is a day off. Spring ploughing and autumn harvesting and major traditional festivals will be off for the children to rest.

Especially during spring ploughing and autumn harvest, there will be almost half a month to a month of vacation. In short, the teaching time is very free, and the things to learn are also very free.

In addition to taking the exam for children's voices and talents, other people who are serious about taking the imperial examinations are studying here. Basically, they are recognizing characters, doing arithmetic, learning a few simple characters, reciting three hundred thousand, etc., basically ready to graduate.

Many children from poor families have never been to school in their entire lives, while children from good families will come to the school to study for two years.

There are very few people who study deeply like Song Yaowen. One is that the family conditions are not good, and the other is that the talent is not enough.

"Sir, I will trouble you for these children in my family. They are young and ignorant. You can teach them." Wen shi first bowed to the husband, and then said politely.

Feng Deng avoided her reasoning and responded politely.

He has a good sense of the Wen family, and is willing to send all the children in the family to study, to play in the rain, and no one is left behind. This is a lot of money.

People in the village, who is not the eldest child who has read the teaching and the second child, and can't wait to break a penny into two penny flowers?
And basically the boys in the family come to study, who will send their daughters to study?
From this point on, he thought that Mrs Wen was a long-sighted person with a big picture, different from those women in the village who only knew how to gossip.

The wind lamp has a very good impression of the greenhouse and has a very gentle attitude towards several children.

When Wen shi asked several children to salute him, Feng Deng sat on the chair and accepted it upright.

"Xiao Jiang, you must work hard. You must not let your mother down on your expectations. Don't listen to the Master." Wen looked at Zuo Jiang with hope and earnest teaching in his eyes.

After finishing speaking, he instructed his daughters: "You should also listen to the Master's words in school. Don't be naughty. After school, come home to eat. You have to make delicious food for you."

After carefully instructing the four brothers and sisters, Wen shi reluctantly went home.

When I got home, I cheered up to cook, and after instructing Jiang's and Huang's embroidery, I began to be in a daze. Because of my lack of concentration, I even pierced myself twice.

"Miss Wen, what's wrong with you? Why are you absent-minded?" Jiang Shi asked.

"Yes, Mrs. Wen, you look a little tired today." Mrs Huang said.

Wen shi smiled and said: "It's nothing, it's just that I'm not used to it. The children in the family have all gone to study. I'm worried about whether they can adapt to what the teacher taught. They can't learn it well. Hey, I'm just worrying about it, nothing. of."

After he finished speaking, he put his finger in his mouth and sucked.

Huang's eyes widened in shock: "Have you sent all your children to study?"

Jiang Shi was also very shocked, and asked in disbelief: "Miss Wen, you are really generous, you gave a child a tael of silver, you gave it all, and the girl too?"

Don't blame him, every child in the serious village will send them to study. Pen, ink, paper and inkstone are expensive. Even their family only sends boys to study. It also depends on whether the child has talent?If you don't have talent, you still have to go home and farm the land after two years of study.This Wen Shi is really generous.

The two were speechless, unable to tell whether it was envy or jealousy.

Wen shi smiled and said, "That is to say, learn to write two characters, and don't be blind. When the conditions at home are poor, let them come back. When a girl reads a book, it will also make people look at her husband's family in the future."
