Peasant Woman’s Decreed Life as a Wife

  Chapter 35 Reading and Recognition

  Ye Muyu felt that her thoughts were becoming more and more simple.

   After cutting the sweet potatoes into pieces and washing them, Chu Heng came back with a few pieces of old **** in his hand.

  Ye Muyu took it and was about to cut it into pieces.

  Chu Heng reminded: "Don't put too much, it's three-point poison, and everything is too late."

  Ye Muyu heard the words, but did not refute. Although **** does not only have medicinal value, it is recorded in "Compendium of Materia Medica". In this era, it is impossible to do specific experiments, and naturally ancient books have become the only standard.

   Besides, Chu Heng was right, so Ye Muyu naturally listened.

  Cut a little ginger, put it in, and adjust the taste.

  Ye Muyu just boiled the underwater pot to cook meatball soup.

  Chu Heng didn't stay any longer, instead of the kitchen, he went into the West Wing to assess Chu Jin's homework.

   "Recite the thousand-character text." Chu Heng sat on the stool, took the book, and asked Chu Jin to recite it.

  Chu Jin stumbled on his back, and Chu Heng frowned instantly.

  Perhaps because of fear, Chu Jin recited at least half of the first part, although he could not recite it fluently.

Chu Heng checked his writing again, and noticed that the rest of the writing was quite serious, so he didn't reprimand him anymore, collected the copied paper, and handed it to him: "This is the paper you used, collect it yourself stand up."

  Chu Jin quickly took it. If it was according to his previous temperament, he would definitely not care.

   But copying the book today, the pain was too deep. I was afraid that if I made a mistake, I would be punished for copying the book again, so I obediently found a wooden box, put all the papers in it, and arranged it neatly.

   Seeing this, Chu Heng talked to him about the meaning of paper, ink, brush and inkstone to scholars.

   "If a person is rich and ingenious, the beauty of spring will be in full bloom."

   "This poem was mentioned by Su Shi, a famous poet in the Song Dynasty, in "Book of Folded Branches Drawn by the Master Book of Yanling King". It is written in this ink, paper and inkstone—paper."

   "Scholars, achievements need to be achieved by pens, inks, papers and inkstones. Naturally, you can't treat them casually. Although you are still young, you must understand the truth of cherishing pens, inks, papers and inkstones."

   "Father, I will cherish it." Chu Jin really didn't take the Four Treasures of the Study seriously before, he was just at the age of fun, and usually Ye Shi pampered him a lot, so he never thought about this at all.

   Now that Chu Heng is specifically talking about this matter to him, it's hard for him not to know.

  Children are still afraid of adults.

  Although Chu Jin didn't understand the meaning of reading, and he was not yet old enough to think about life's major events, with Chu Heng's strict teaching, he didn't dare to waste any more.

   After talking to his son for a while, Chu Heng suddenly remembered what Ye Muyu said about studying.

   As soon as she turned her head, she saw Chu Ziluo lying on her stomach by the window, listening with great interest.

  He beckoned and called people in.

   "Come and sit down."

  Chu Ziluo didn't dare to resist, so she walked over obediently and sat on the stool with her head down, not daring to look at Chu Heng.

  Chu Heng asked: "Ziluo, do you want to study too?"

"Reading?" Chu Ziluo was stunned, as if she didn't expect such a costly thing to be related to herself, thinking of everyone's yearning for reading, Chu Ziluo asked a little nervously: "Father, can I read too? "

   "However, everyone says that girls don't need to study."

   "I want my younger brother to study, my father to study, and take the exam for a high official. In the future, my mother and I can live a good life. In fact, I think our life is very good now. Dad, I will waste money by studying."

  Looking at her daughter's sensible appearance, Chu Heng couldn't help thinking that she was implicated by Mrs. Ye in her previous life.
