Modern Couples' Life in Women's Society

Chapter 74

When Xiao Tong woke up the next day, he got a report to compose a poem. After the party last night, a person who was transferred from the original procurement had already told him that he wanted to return to his original job.The reason is that there are too few examples of money, and she also vaguely said that Xiao Tong's actions did not match her identity, and Fu Shi Bao had already completed the procedures for her to return to her original job.

Xiao Tong asked Poetry and Fu Ling to arrange the training related matters starting tomorrow, and the assigned classes will not be changed unless there are special circumstances, and the increase in office supplies including students and teachers must be made up as soon as possible, so that They arrange this within today.

Fu Shi and Fu Ling, who took the task, went to work, and Xiao Tong also started a day of study, and the person serving in the study changed from Fu Ling to celebrating his birthday.Qingsheng is not very literate, and when she learned that Xiao Tong asked her to study with her, she was so excited that she jumped up and down for a few times. Seeing Mu Fan's respect and hospitality made Mu Fan feel a little overwhelmed.

Xiao Tong thought about it while laughing, and chatted with Mu Fan for a few words.

"I learned from Fushi this morning that none of the newly recruited people, including those from the former workshop procurement department, refused to go to the literacy training, and they sounded very happy. Seeing Qingsheng like this, I still feel a little surprised Are there too few opportunities for literacy in this world?" Xiao Tong is used to modern compulsory education, so he has a lot of emotion and doubts.

"When you are in the palace, you naturally don't know that it is not easy for ordinary people to read and write. For ordinary people, let alone being restricted by their status, money is a big problem. In addition to hiring teachers or going to private schools to study, the paper, pen and ink needed for the reading process, etc. Other costs are also high, so ordinary families don’t have that much money to send their children to school.”

"Except for the royal family, the royal family, and the nobles, only the children of wealthy families can read and write, let alone slaves like Qingsheng. Don't just look at the literate people around you and think that they are all literate. All of them should be able to read and write. Fu Ling and the others are either personal servants or managers, so they have the opportunity to be able to read and write. Qingsheng knows a few words, I am afraid that they have learned it by trying their best, and they must not be able to write, can they? " Mu Fan also felt emotional, thinking that Xiao Tongshu didn't know much, so he said more.

"Yes, yes, miss, it cost a lot of money to know the words on Qingsheng. I gave a lot of eggs to let the old steward in the village teach a few words, and I only taught them once. It took a lot of money to celebrate my birthday." It took a lot of effort to memorize these few words." Qing Sheng replied excitedly beside him.

"Is that so, that means there is no special place in the mansion for people to read and write, right?"

"No, because the prince has only one daughter, and is different from other families. The main family and relatives of the royal family are also from the royal family and the royal family, so there is no genealogy. Ordinary families basically have genealogy, but Other wealthy families who don't have ethnology will send their daughters to private schools to study." Mu Fan explained patiently.

"Then is there any government school in the entire Yan Kingdom?" Xiao Tong remembered that in ancient Chinese history, there were many central government schools in the feudal period, and Guozijian was one of them, which was very famous. (Famous basis: Xiao Tong knows it all)

"Government school? None, except for the imperial study room, aristocratic family studies, and private schools in the entire Yan Kingdom, the rest are taught by teachers, just like I teach young ladies." Mu Fan guessed the official school. Meaning, but did not mention this crop.

"I don't even have a government school. The education is really backward. The mansion can't do it like this..." Xiao Tong's voice was very low, as if he was talking to himself, suddenly his eyes lit up, and he turned to Qing Sheng and asked eagerly.

"Qingsheng, do people in the mansion love reading as much as you do?"

"Yes, it's a great thing to be able to read and write, how can you not like it!" Qingsheng replied in surprise.

"At what age do you usually start working on duty?"

"Generally after the age of 12, unless there are special circumstances."

"Then what do you usually do before the age of 12?"

"When I was young, I helped my father do some housework at home. When I was older, I followed my mother and father or obeyed the arrangement to do some small things that I could do. It's not certain, unless I am really on duty, there will be regular work."

"That's it, it gave me an idea..." Xiao Tong said to himself again, and after a while he nodded his head and said, "Well, it's a good idea, worth considering and implementing."

"Miss..." Qingsheng asked in confusion.

"Oh, it's okay, Teacher Mu, let's go to class, it has been delayed for a long time." Xiao Tong thought that this is not a good time to think deeply.

"Well, then let's start class, yesterday..." At the beginning of class, Qingsheng was a little behind, but it didn't affect her enthusiasm. Her positive spirit made Xiao Tong work harder and Mu Fan teach more attentively. It can be said that killing three birds with one stone .

The study time during the day passed by in a hurry, after dinner, Fu Ling accompanied Xiao Tong for a walk, and reported the progress of the training along the way. Everything was arranged properly, and the training was just waiting for the class to start tomorrow morning.The even better news is that after the interview with Zi Yu and Hu Bai, the teacher mentioned yesterday, including the man, all passed the trial stage, and can go to the assigned class tomorrow.

At this time, those teachers were exchanging studies with the two teachers, Hu Bai, to prepare for tomorrow's teaching.And those protagonist students are also actively preparing, those who have already received the commitment will continue, and those who have not received other preparations, everything seems to be thriving.

Xiao Tong was happy to hear that, and wandered all the way to the main courtyard, and was told by the waiter for a long time about her status as noble, and Prince Su, who was watching, also said a few words, telling her not to forget her status.Xiao Tong got dizzy when he heard it, he responded casually, and ran out of the main courtyard as if fleeing, thinking of Yanqi, he turned to look for him.

Fang Hong's family was chatting. When Xiao Tong went, he saw no one outside, and their voices could be heard faintly from inside. He thought it would be okay to go in directly, so he went straight into the inner room.Fang Hong's family stared blankly at Xiao Tong who suddenly appeared, and finally came to their senses. They spoke in unison, but the words they said were somewhat different.

"Miss, what's the matter?" Fang Hong asked.

"Why are you here, Miss?" Fang Yun asked.

"Miss..." Yan Qi was too excited, so there was no more to say.

After he finished speaking, he remembered that he had to salute, but Xiao Tong said first, "There is no need to salute, just sit down."

"Yes, miss, please sit down." Fang Hong also knew that he was in his own home at the moment, and there was no need to act like he was outside.

"I think it was so late last night, and Uncle Qi even brought over snacks. I'm afraid it will always be like this in the future. Uncle Qi doesn't talk about his hard work. I, Steward Fang and Fang Yun are not at ease, so I came here today to discuss it."

"I go to the main courtyard after dinner every day, thinking that I will come to get the dim sum made by Uncle Qi in the future, so that I can have dim sum and Uncle Qi doesn't have to come over at night. The dim sum doesn't have to be too much. A lot, just enough for me and Qingsheng to eat, if Uncle Qi doesn’t have time to make it, it’s okay if you don’t eat it.” Xiao Tong didn’t have the habit of eating supper at first, but thinking that making Yanqi snacks for himself was a kindness, so he thought about it Such a way.
