Chapter 283 Mr.
Mr. Zhang was in great need.
How can we not study the books of saints? Only by reading the books of saints can we know etiquette and principles. If we don’t study these, what else can we learn? Are there other books on learning in the world?
"Since you don't know the Four Books and Five Classics, how can you teach Zhang Qi? If there is no private school to take him in, then I will teach Zhang Qi how to read and write."
Zhang's mother was not happy when she heard this.
"You teach? You haven't even passed the examination in your whole life. You have been a child all your life. How can you teach me?"
One sentence made Mr. Zhang half-dead angry, and he scolded others. Zhang's mother knew best how to make her old man half-dead angry. She mercilessly opened the scars and sprinkled salt and chili powder inside, making the old man's beard tremble and gnash her teeth.
"You... you... make me angry..."
Bai Yujun didn't even raise his head. He finished the rice in a few mouthfuls and put down his bowl and chopsticks.
He patted his head and raised his head.
"Zhang Qi, what skill do you want to learn? Should you be shaking your head while reading all day long, or should you learn real skills?"
Ask your child what he wants first. If he likes it, that's fine. He will probably become a Confucian general in the future, strategizing and winning thousands of miles. If he likes his real skills, then teach him something useful and become a general who can be both literary and military.
He opened his eyes wide and rolled around.
"I want to learn boxing and kicking! Defeat everyone and become a mighty general."
Bai Yujun nodded with satisfaction. This is what a general should look like. He will not be able to resist when the enemy gets close to him. At a young age, the boy knows that fists are the last word. If you have ideals and integrity, you can't be a coward.
Teach.
Mr. Zhang, who was eating his meal angrily, jumped three feet high after hearing Zhang Qi's answer.
"What nonsense! How can you be such a rough and reckless man! You will go to the imperial examination high school and be ranked in the court! How can you be decent if you dance with swords and sticks all day long? I am the scholarly heir of the Zhang family... uh..."
Mr. Zhang turned off the fire and did not dare to raise his head to look at Bai Yujun who had drawn out half of the blade across the dining table.
The little Zhang Qi didn't care about his grandfather's scolding at all. The most attractive thing to him was the knife in Aunt Bai's hand. He once wanted to secretly take Aunt Bai's knife away to play, but he couldn't lift it because it was too heavy.
Zhang Wan also felt that it was good to be a scholar, but she looked at Bai Yujun and finally fell silent.
"Starting tomorrow, I will teach Zhang Qi how to read, read, and practice martial arts. He will practice martial arts in the morning and study in the afternoon. Boy, don't sleep in late tomorrow. I will teach you to lay a solid foundation for martial arts."
With the help of a sharp horizontal knife, Bai Yujun set the tone.
"That's great~ I can learn martial arts~ Master is here! Please be my apprentice!"
Zhang Qi immediately became a disciple and wanted to kneel down to worship him as shown in the opera. Mr. Zhang’s beard was trembling, but Zhang’s mother didn’t care. Anyway, as long as his grandson is healthy and happy, it would be better if he grows up quickly, gets a wife and has children.
.
Bai Yujun cast a spell to prevent him from kneeling down. God knows if he would offend God if he knelt down.
"It's okay to become a disciple. You can be your sir. Just call me sir from now on."
"Sir, please accept the students' respect!"
This time, Zhang Qi did not stop him. He followed the standard movements of a sour scholar and bowed. This was regarded as completing the apprenticeship ceremony. In fact, he had long wanted to learn Aunt Bai's mysterious skills, such as flying, using a knife, and making water fly into a bowl.
, the strong ones can lift huge rocks, like the legendary immortals.
Zhang Qi, who was jumping around wildly, suddenly rolled his eyes and an idea came to his mind.
"Sir, I have many friends, can I let them study with me?"
"No problem, go and tell their parents that there will be no tuition fees for reading and literacy. Come and learn if you want. Books, paper, and pens will be provided in class but no food will be provided."
It’s just a matter of teaching a few more children. It’s not a big deal. You don’t need to teach any difficult knowledge. All you need to do is read, read, read, and know how to calculate accounts. It’s not difficult. Besides, if you have more children, you will be more motivated to learn.
After the matter was settled, the old man's beard was trembling and he dared not say anything in anger. Zhang's mother also became happy when she saw her grandson happy. Zhang Wan always felt that Bai Yujun had something he didn't say.
After a messy meal, Zhang Qi rushed to tell his friends the good news.
I ran around until dark and didn't worry about being caught by monsters. In fact, there are no monsters, monsters, or venomous snakes in Woniu Village. Animals have strong senses. There is a monster snake that is about to turn into a dragon. Who dares to come and offend?
, occasionally some bandits wanted to come to Woniu Village to fight the autumn wind, but they were beaten to death by a certain snake.
There was a change from the original plan. When there were more children, a separate private school was needed.
Before dawn, the old village chief came to see Bai Yujun excitedly after receiving the news. He also wanted to take a test to see if the new girl in the village, who had not yet left the government, could really read and write.
It was easy to fool him. Reciting a few poems made the old village chief excited and almost fainted. Even the old doctor did not expect Bai Yujun to be able to write such wonderful poems, which shocked the world.
As the saying goes, reading is not easy.
Nobles from well-established families control knowledge, and books are as valuable as gold. In order to stabilize their status, the ruling class chooses the strategy of deceiving the people and uses various means to make studying difficult, which has become a tool for well-established families to maintain their status.
Foolish people in the mountains and fields, this is what the ruling class calls ordinary people. Foolish people, among which the word "foolish" is the most important.
Only fools can guard their one-third of an acre of land without thinking wildly, be obedient, and produce diligently. With knowledge, you will have ideas. Once you have ideas, it is difficult to control them. Only fools can facilitate management.
rule.
Woniu Village is poor, and literacy is even more of a luxury.
When they heard that the newly moved lady surnamed Bai was willing to teach their children to read and write for free, the villagers didn't believe it. How could education be free if it was expensive? Besides, the girl who never left the house and never left the house was really literate?
Bai Yujun's hair is not tied up, but always loose, which is in line with the characteristics of not leaving the palace.
Yes, in the eyes of the villagers, Bai Yujun is the daughter of a wealthy family. Why? Because of her looks.
The mountains and fields are harsh, and no matter how beautiful a girl is when she was a child, she cannot withstand the wind and sun all year round doing farm work. Her skin is rough and her hands are covered with calluses. There is no way, it is caused by the environment. Not to mention Woniu Village, there is no one in the dozen or so villages in the entire town.
Bai Yujun is so delicate and tender, not to mention fair and delicate, and so beautiful that she is as beautiful as a fairy, which makes the young man wander around outside the courtyard.
The old village chief has a good mind. He once went to the city to work as a coolie and heard about many wealthy families.
It is rumored that the richest ladies of wealthy families must be educated and literate.
Unexpectedly... there really is a gentleman in Woniu Village!
"On behalf of the old man, three hundred people from Woniu Village kneeled down to thank Mr. Bai!"
The old village chief knelt down and couldn't stop him. He kowtowed three times, cried loudly and murmured about God's blessing, and barely burned the incense on the paper.
It’s hard to have no knowledge. Every time I trade with a businessman, I have to be cheated and deceived. I don’t know the Chinese characters. I don’t know how many jokes I make when I go out and how much ridicule I receive.
The old village chief does not ask the children in the village to get top grades in high school, as long as they know how to sell mountain goods without losing money.
When he learned that a new private school was needed, he immediately expressed his willingness to mobilize villagers to build houses.
"Don't worry, Mr. Bai! We have plenty of strength and there is wood in the mountains. Mr. Bai doesn't have to worry about building a house!"
Chapter completed!
