After wearing the book, I became the mother of three villains

Chapter 117
Seeing his uneasiness, Yao Shu smiled kindly and didn't force himself, he just said: "Okay, but just stay a little longer and bring back two dishes."

Seeing that Yu Zhi still wanted to refuse, Yao Shu hurriedly asked: "I just heard you talking about studying, what studying?"

As expected, the young man's attention was diverted to other places, and he told Yao Shu about Azhi: "I just asked about Dabao's knowledge, and seeing that he has a quick mind and is very smart at a young age, he is very suitable for reading, so I thought Recommend him to study at our Jingyang Academy in Suzhou... I wonder what Miss Yao would like?"

Yao Shu shook his head, smiled and said, "You have to ask Dabao about it, and see if he is willing."

Ordinary people's affairs about children are generally decided by the parents of the family, and even major marriages are ordered by the parents, let alone travel to study.

Seeing Yao Shu's attitude, Yu Zhi couldn't help being stunned.

She explained: "Azhi is not young anymore, I believe he also has his own judgment; if his thoughts are not mature enough, there are me and his father - as for whether he is willing to study, it depends on his own idea."

Ah Zhi is used to Yao Shu's trusting attitude, whenever something happens, A Niang usually asks him to make his own decisions.

The little boy has never let down Yao Shu's trust. He thought about it for a while, and then asked Yu Zhi, "What does Uncle Yu say about Jingyang Academy?"

Yu Zhi has never seen such a way of getting along between Yao Shu and his children. When he thinks of himself, from childhood to adulthood, down to basic necessities of life, to schooling and asking for a relative, his parents make decisions for him. He has never thought about it, and has never realized it. to choose.

Seeing Ah Zhi's serious question, he straightened his expression and replied, "Jingyang Academy is the most famous academy in Suzhou. Although it is the same as many academies, it focuses on classics and history, but it does not specialize in scientific research. Subjects such as arithmetic, geography, writing, gold and stone, etc., practice Confucius' teaching of "teaching students in accordance with their aptitude", focusing on the uniqueness of students."

"If Ah Zhi likes to read books in other fields besides classics and history collections, Jingyang Academy is the most suitable for him—our academy has a whole small building just for the collection of books, covering everything about astronomy and geography."

Speaking of this, he paused, smiled and said to Yao Shu: "To tell you the truth, Miss Yao, my grandfather is the current dean of Jingyang Academy. If Ah Zhi goes to Suzhou to study, my grandfather will be very pleased that I have done it for you. He found such a clever little apprentice."

Yu Zhi didn't say it clearly, but what he meant was that he wanted Ah Zhi to worship under his grandfather and become a student of the dean of Jingyang Academy.

Yao Shu naturally knew that Yu Zhi wanted to thank her and Lin Rong for their help, so he smiled at him: "We appreciate your kindness, but there is really no need to do this."

But Yu Zhi shook his head: "Ms. Yao is wrong. Although my grandfather took care of me a lot, he would not accept apprentices for a favor. Ah Zhi is a good young man, so I just wanted to recommend him to my grandfather. Also accept a worry-free and filial apprentice for the old man."

Yao Shu knew that Ah Zhi was smart, so he didn't question Yu Zhi's words.

She asked the boy warmly: "Dabao, do you want to go study?"

Azhi hesitated for a moment, and then talked about other things: "After the new year, my uncle taught me four books, and "Mencius" is left. It's just that my uncle is busy, and now we have moved to the town again, so now we have to read "Mencius" by ourselves. Mencius."

Yao Shu is still very clear about his son's thoughts.

Ah Zhi likes to read, not because others force him, but because he can sit at his desk and look at it all day long.

It's just that there are not many books in the family, and most of them are left by the elders of the Lin family, so Azhi's interest is limited.

After hearing Yu Zhi's words, he may have already fallen in love with Jingyang Academy.

Yao Shu smiled again and asked, "Then would you like to study with Master in the school in the town, or go to Suzhou to study and study with the seniors in the academy?"

Ah Zhi raised his head and asked Yao Shu with his eyebrows locked: "Mother, is Suzhou far away?"

"Well, it's a long way," Yao Shu said objectively, "It takes more than a month to travel from Suzhou to Qingtong Town at a normal speed, and it's even slower by horse-drawn carriage."

The little boy's eyes widened all of a sudden, and he subconsciously glanced at his younger brother and his cheerful younger sister, obviously hesitating.

If he left, wouldn't Auntie have to take care of the second treasure and the third treasure alone?
Seeing his distress, Yao Shu comforted him with a gentle voice: "You don't have to think so much. If you want to go to Suzhou, you can ask your father to teach you how to ride a horse later. Every boy has a horse, a suit of clothes, and some dry food. You can go on the road with money; if you don’t want to go so far, father and mother will find a school in the town, or invite a teacher to teach you how to read.”

After hearing Yao Shu's words, Ah Zhi felt less burdened, so he said to Yu Zhi: "Uncle Yu, I haven't thought about it yet, so I'll give you an answer later, is that okay?"

Yu Zhi appreciated Yao Shu's way of educating children more and more, as well as Ah Zhi's independent performance, he nodded and said, "That's natural. When you think it over, I'll write a letter to my family——"

As he said that, he couldn't help but praise: "A Zhi has such a heart and determination at such a young age, and his future is boundless."

This compliment came from the heart, Yao Shu smiled and said nothing.

Ah Zhi fell into confusion——

Uncle Yu had just seen Erbao flipping the flower rope, and he could praise it for a long time without repeating it... Does he really deserve such a compliment?

At noon, Yao Shu cooked two dishes for Yu Zhi, packed them in a box, and started eating at home.

During the meal, Ah Si was still asking: "Brother, what is an academy?"

Ah Zhi has never really seen the academy, but reading the vernacular and miscellaneous books is not for nothing after all: "The academy is similar to the school, where everyone studies together... The difference is that the academy has the same board and lodging. Classmates are together, the school is just a place to study."

Little Ah Si quickly grasped the point: "If my brother goes to the academy to study, won't he be able to go home?"

The boy nodded.

When Sanbao woke up, he was a little fussy. Seeing that everyone else was eating, he also muttered, wanting to sit at the table.

While coaxing his youngest son and feeding him some complementary food, Yao Shu asked Ah Si: "If my brother goes out to study and returns home once a year, will Erbao miss him?"

The little girl stopped talking, and the chopsticks didn't move for a while.

Seeing that his sister was unhappy, Ah Zhi coaxed her: "Okay, okay, brother didn't say he was going, let's eat quickly."

Maybe it's because they grew up together, many times even Ah Zhi didn't understand his own thoughts, but Ah Si could detect it.

She lowered her head and said sullenly, "Brother didn't say he couldn't go, he just wanted to go."

Yao Shu raised his head upon hearing this, and glanced at the two children.

Ah Zhi picked up a chopstick dish for Ah Si, and whispered to her: "Er Bao also has something he wants to do, right?"

The little girl nodded.

A Zhi continued: "What my brother likes to do is to read thousands of volumes of books and travel thousands of miles—Jiangsu is rich in natural resources, and it is also a place where Confucianism has gathered great achievements. If my brother wants to go, will Erbao support it?"

Ah Si hesitated for a moment: "But brother can't go home..."

Ah Zhi smiled and said, "If a person who travels thousands of miles always wants to go home, he will never be able to get out of a small circle, so why talk about traveling thousands of miles?"

Ah Si's eyes were ignorant, as if he didn't fully understand the meaning of his brother's words, but Yao Shu understood.

She leaned over to Sanbao and wiped her mouth to hide the blush at the corners of her eyes.

Ah Zhi's words indeed caused quite a stir in Yao Shu's heart.

Never had this moment before, she clearly realized that Azhi, who was still a child in her eyes, had grown up.

He knows what he likes and what he pursues.

And her fate with him is just less than a year in this short period of time.

After Yao Shu calmed down, he put down the three treasures, turned around, and sat down at the table.

Her tone was as gentle as ever, with some pride: "Da Bao has grown up and has something he likes to do. A Niang is very pleased."

The boy's immature face did not show a firm expression as Yao Shu imagined, but smiled and said to her: "Mother, I want to go to Jingyang Academy, but not now."

"Huh? What did Dabao think, tell Auntie?"

Ah Zhi straightened out his thoughts, and said while thinking: "I am still young, and it is not convenient to even go out. If I need my father and mother to send me to the academy to study, what kind of study tour is it? After reading the Four Books and Five Classics, it’s not too late to wait a few years before going.”

Yao Shu nodded appreciatively.

When she heard Yu Zhi talk about Jingyang Academy before, she also had the same attitude——

The academy is good, if Ah Zhi intends to go there, he will have to wait until he reaches his age.

Yao Shu patted Ah Zhi's head, smiled and said: "Your father is right, now mother can't treat you as a child. Dabao has changed a lot in the past six months."

I remembered that when I met Ah Zhi just now, he was thin and small, and even looked at people with a little cringe in his eyes.

Although he is still a shy boy now, he has grown so much.

Hearing A Niang praise him like this, Ah Zhi smiled a little shyly: "It's my uncle who taught him well."

If Yao Feng were here, he would definitely shake his head——

He enlightened the children and took Ah Zhi to read four books, but in the final analysis, the daily study time is limited, and most of the time, he taught Ah Zhi how to read.
