After Dai Ji said hello to the Cui family, his eyes focused on the two children beside them.
The two children are about two inches apart, one is taller and the other is shorter. They are all dressed the same, but their behavior and personality are completely different.
The older child has a quiet and restrained temperament, more than stable but not lively enough. He maintains a vague vigilance and wariness towards the outside world. He is a very self-defensive child. He only occasionally looks at the Cui family and his wife.
Only then did he reveal the dependence and admiration unique to his age.
Looking at another child, it is completely different.
Dai Ji couldn't help but his eyes lit up, and he thought to himself: What a handsome and handsome man! The identity of this son is self-evident. His appearance combines all the advantages of his parents, and he is as smart and cute as the boy under the seat of Guanyin Bodhisattva. Although he is also a regular child.
He was standing beside the adults in a polite manner, but his beautiful eyes were not restless at all, and he was looking at the visitor curiously. This kind of look was just right, not offensive, but made people think that he was intelligent and cute.
Who can resist such a clever and cute boy?
Dai Ji always does as he pleases, so he immediately started to boast: "Master Cui, Mrs. Ning Guo, this must be your son, right? He is clever, smart, and generous. He is indeed the son of the Cui family."
"Master Dai is so ridiculous. You are a naughty boy. I will still need to rely on the guidance of Master Dai and all of you in the future."
Cui Weizhen patted Cui Zhiming on the shoulder and introduced: "Zhiming is also the son of the Cui family, and is the younger brother of Zhiduan. They are each other's companions. Zhiming, Zhiduan, this is your mountain chief, come and see me."
Cui Zhiming and Cui Zhiduan came forward respectfully to greet them, their movements were neat and orderly, and they had obviously been strictly taught by their families.
Dai Ji immediately understood what Magistrate Cui meant. He was telling outsiders that although Cui Zhiming was his companion, the Cui family treated him like their own son, so that outsiders would not dare to look down upon him.
With sharp eyes, he saw a flash of moisture in the eyes of the child named Cui Zhiming. When he raised his head again, the admiration in his eyes became even deeper.
The attitude of the child cannot be lied. It seems that Uncle Yong Ning and Mrs. Ning Guo are indeed as upright and noble as the rumors. They are not people who are just trying to gain fame. This can be seen from their attitude towards their nephew.
The smile on Dai Ji's face became more and more friendly, and he said with a smile: "You must have not gone to Zhishe yet. Let's go for a walk. Ji happens to be on the way and will go with you."
Of course, before leaving, he did not forget the students who were "forbidden to stand" beside him. After giving them a few words of admonishment, allowing them to copy the manuscripts with peace of mind, he led the Cui family and the rest of the group out of the Hongwen Hall.
To the right of Hongwen Hall is Zhisha.
Luming Academy is designed around the lake. The straight buildings and the school stand next to the lake. There is a pavilion in the middle of the lake, there are weeping willows beside the lake, and there are scholars walking with books on the road. The cultural environment is very good.
As an adult, it is very good to teach and study in such an environment. Being able to enjoy the scenery by the lake and listen to the piano by the lake every day is a pleasing enjoyment.
But Ye Zhenzhen was a teacher, a tourist, and the parent of a six-year-old child. Seeing such an environment, she could not help but feel worried.
She may be a little presumptuous, but for the safety of her children, she still spoke: "May I ask Mr. Dai Shan, is the railing near the lake strong? Is it regularly inspected? I wonder if there is a boy who can swim waiting by the side.
?Children who study in Meng are lively by nature, and it is inevitable that they will have some slapstick and frolics during rest time. It would be bad if they accidentally fall into the lake."
No one had thought about this problem. Cui Weizhen looked over with a frown, and Dai Ji did the same, carefully examining the fence by the lake.
The fence was built when the academy was founded. Because there was no intention to open an elementary school at that time, no protective measures were taken on the fence, so the fence was very low, only as high as the waist of a six-year-old child.
Cui Zhiduan leaned on the railing and looked out. With a slight push from others, he could easily be pushed into the lake. For safety reasons, such a height was too dangerous.
Although Dai Ji is free and easy, he is very serious about running the school. After listening to Ye Zhenzhen's instructions, instead of blaming her for being nosy, he solemnly saluted her and thanked her: "I was negligent. Thank you.
Madam Ning Guo is aware of the problem. Without your reminder, madam, if there is an accident in the future, I am afraid she will regret it. I immediately ordered the craftsmen to strengthen and heighten the fence immediately."
With Chief Dai's attitude being so cautious, Ye Zhenzhen became more and more satisfied with Luming Academy.
All the way to the teaching residence.
Zhishe occupies a small area and is similar to a teacher's office in later generations. Many teachers work in a spacious hall. There are several teachers sitting sparsely inside. Some are reading, some are working at their desks, and some are sitting at their desks.
Studying chess records... Everyone has their own things to do, and it's very quiet.
Hearing the footsteps, the teachers in Zhishe raised their heads one after another, and surprise suddenly appeared on their faces: "Master Cui, the mountain chief."
Cui Weizhen had previously dealt with the teachers of Luming Academy when he was providing disaster relief in Mingzhou Prefecture. Therefore, although he was a new official, the teachers of the academy all knew him.
Cui Weizhen nodded and said hello, and then introduced his wife and children to them. The eunuchs became more and more enthusiastic and said to Ye Zhenzhen: "I have heard about Mrs. Ning Guo's reputation for a long time. When I saw her today, she was indeed extraordinary. In the future,
I am a colleague, and I would like to ask Madam for your guidance on Xumi painting."
Ye Zhenzhen saw that their expressions were enthusiastic and not fake, and her good feelings became stronger. She said humbly: "I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed. I just relied on my skills and teachings, and I have many shortcomings in teaching. I will ask for your advice in the future."
yes."
"Madam is too modest."
The two sides exchanged greetings, and Ye Zhenzhen also took the opportunity to get her class schedule. There were not many classes, once every seven days, four classes a week, which was acceptable.
Dai Ji also asked her thoughtfully: "This is just a tentative schedule. If you find it inconvenient, Madam, you can raise it and I will make adjustments."
"The chief has thought very carefully."
Ye Zhenzhen's work problem was settled like this.
Next, it’s time to make arrangements in Cui Zhiduan and Cui Zhiming’s classes.
Currently, there are two classes in Mengxue, divided into Class A and Class B. Each class has about a dozen people. Cui Zhiduan and Cui Zhiming are in Class A. They only need to submit books to receive books and go to class.
"Are the classes officially taught today?" Ye Zhenzhen asked: "Is there a schedule of classes? About what time will school end? Can I go home for lunch and take a lunch break?"
There are always a lot of problems when new students enter school. I didn't think much of it when I sent my son to the kindergarten in Prince Wei's Mansion. Now I finally experienced it in a serious way. This experience is almost the same as that of later generations.
