Chu's Zhaohua

Chapter 15

Father Chu didn't expect the second son to be erudite, but only hoped that they could read and understand. Before, the family was struggling and had no money for the children to study. Now there are thirty gold leaves in the family, which is enough.

In this era, being an official is based on elections, and there is no imperial examination system. Many common people are illiterate. Only the rich and powerful will ask their teachers to teach their children.

Ankou County is also a small private school, it is an old master, but not many people go to study.

Father Chu learned a lot in the military camp, knowing that brute force alone is not enough, so he wanted the children to learn.

Chu Yu and Chu Hong both had their own ideas and agreed after a little thought, but Chu Chan didn't need it because she could read.

Although Chu Chan is a forensic student, she has also been in contact with some history, and she still has some understanding of some historical cultures. In her previous life, she was only limited to understanding, not thorough.For example, the fonts used in this era are big seal characters. She has also studied them and is not proficient, but what she didn't expect was that she would be very familiar with these fonts as soon as she saw them.

The original owner was not literate, obviously because her study of seal characters in her previous life had influenced her, but it became stronger.

Chu Chan felt that not only was her mind more flexible, but she seemed to learn everything quickly. What she had learned in her previous life was originally blurred, but now when she recalled it, it appeared in her mind, and it even became clearer and clearer.

Chu Chan felt that although it was not a happy thing to travel to this era, it was not bad that God gave her such a smart head.

Of course, it is impossible for Chu Chan to tell outsiders that she knows how to read. She only said that the eldest brother and the second brother will come back to teach her after learning.

Chu Yu and Chu Hong went to the private school with the money, and Zhou naturally hoped that Chu Zhi would go with him, but at his age, when Chu Zhi liked to play, how could he be willing to go?

Zhou had no choice but to give in.

After the eldest brother and the second brother left, Father Chu was not looking for work, but he also knew the truth of sitting and eating the mountain. Although his legs and feet were lame, he still had good boxing skills and great strength. After thinking about it, he went to buy a bow and went out. The county town went hunting in the mountains.

The family had silver money for the time being, so Mrs. Zeng took the gold leaf and quietly exchanged it for Yiguan won money, and bought some meat back.

In this era, food is not fried, fried, cooked, deep-fried, steamed, baked, sauced, rice is boiled or steamed, vegetables are simply boiled in water, and the same is true for meat. The top layer of salt is roasted directly on the fire, so the taste is natural, or it can be boiled into soup for consumption.

Mrs. Zeng left half of the meat, smeared it with salt and hung it in the well. She said that when Mrs. Sun recovered from her illness, she invited the eldest and second servants over to have a meal. After all, Uncle Chu and Uncle Chu hadn’t seen Father Chu for ten years. This is my younger brother's.

Zeng gave the remaining half of the meat to Ping'er and asked her to cook it for dinner at night.

There are also some dried bamboo shoots at home, which are dug from the mountains in spring and dried in the sun.

Chu Chan took it out and soaked it, and planned to make stewed bamboo shoots tonight.

The eldest brother and the second brother went to private school very early, and Chu Chan pestered them to learn calligraphy as soon as they came back.

The two of them were naturally happy to see that the eldest sister was sensible, and they handed over everything they learned today to Chu Chan.

It was still early, and Chu Chan ordered Ping'er to cut up the meat and cook the rice. She took a branch and scratched it on the ground in the yard, writing the characters that she just learned from her elder brother and second brother today.
