After examining the foundation of the three children, Mrs. Zhou expressed the same emotion. Fortunately, the three children were very smart, which made up for some shortcomings.
On the first day of apprenticeship, there was no formal teaching. Mrs. Zhou spent an hour inspecting the children, and then asked the parents to prepare the teaching book - "The Three Character Classic", and they would study it formally tomorrow.
Of course, the place of study was set at Prince Wei's Mansion - Ye Zhenzhen and Princess Wei guessed it right. Mrs. Zhou was covetous of the gardens of Prince Wei's Mansion and wanted to use her position to satisfy her personal hobbies.
Of course, these are not enough for outsiders.
The two families said goodbye to Mrs. Zhou, and after confirming the school time with each other, they went back home.
On the carriage, Cui Zhiduan was in a particularly high mood.
He didn't bother to put on airs and happily held Ye Zhenzhen's hand and swung it from side to side: "Mom, Master praised me and said that I study hard."
Mrs. Zhou had just randomly checked his recitation of the "Three Character Classic", and even checked the calligraphy he had practiced in the past. The child Zhi Duan had already memorized the "Three Character Classic" by heart. When he was checked, he had no stage fright at all and recited it very smoothly.
His large handwriting is not great, but compared to a child of his age, it is already at a good level.
Ye Zhenzhen couldn't help but laugh at him: "My parents also praised you back then, why aren't you so happy?"
Cui Zhiduan said matter-of-factly: "This is different."
But he couldn't tell what the specific difference was.
Ye Zhenzhen can actually understand her son's mood. As a student, who doesn't like to be praised by the teacher? When she was a child, the teacher rewarded her with a small red flower, and she would be happy for a week.
As a strict father, Cui Weizhen finally couldn't help but teach him a lesson: "Don't be happy with things and don't be sad with yourself. This is the way of a gentleman. You have only achieved a little success now, and you still need to encourage yourself in the future.
Don’t get carried away.”
Cui Zhiduan immediately suppressed his smile and sat down obediently: "Yes, my son knows."
Ye Zhenzhen was inevitably a little distressed, but she and Wei Zhen had made an agreement long ago that when they were teaching their children, the other would not be allowed to speak against them, so she had no choice but to endure it.
Cui Weizhen saw what his wife was thinking and did not express it. Instead, he turned to his nephew and tried his best. He looked calm and looked like he was not worried at all.
The Cui Mansion arrived soon, and everyone went to Fuxi Courtyard to meet Aunt Cui. Aunt Cui asked about the apprenticeship in detail, and when she learned that her grandson had been praised, she immediately beamed with joy, hugged Cui Zhideuan and kissed him non-stop.
Cui Zhiduan had just been beaten by his father and did not dare to slack off, so he took the initiative to say: "Grandma, Master will give lessons tomorrow. Brother Zhiming and I went down to preview our homework. I will come back to accompany you later."
Aunt Cui was pleasantly surprised by her grandson's well-behaved and sensible nature, and immediately let him go. She also asked her servants to be gentle so as not to disturb the two children's studies.
When Ye Zhenzhen saw this scene, the little unbearable feeling she had in the car just now disappeared. It seemed that Wei Zhen's strict requirements did not damage the child's self-confidence, but had an encouraging effect.
It doesn't matter if it's this way, one is soft and the other is strong, and you don't have to worry about the child growing crooked.
Cui Weizhen had been paying attention to her expression. Seeing this, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Are you relieved now? You just love to worry."
Ye Zhenzhen smiled sheepishly, held his hand, and said: "Okay, okay, I know I was wrong. It's getting late, why don't you accompany me to cook together."
Cui Weizhen naturally followed her and accompanied her to cook.
