After Li Su came back, he bought a lot of books, as well as pens, inks, papers and inkstones. Li Yu saw it in the house, and felt very distressed. It would be nice to spend the money and buy him some books.
"Prepare well, and start teaching them tomorrow. Teach well, and let people know that you are a scholar who is not in vain. In the future, if you really fail to succeed and open a private school to teach, some people will pay to come in." Li Su said bluntly.
Li Yu felt that he had been violently attacked, so he simply asked directly: "Are you my mother?"
Liu Yingniang next to her was startled, she rubbed her stomach and was speechless.
Li Yuan frowned, Li Ru was timid, jumped off the stool and hid behind Li Yuan, timidly showing half of his head.
Li Su felt a little funny, "I'm not your mother, do you think you can stay here well? I have too much money and nowhere to spend it, right? Not only do you support you, but you also support your big family. My brain is broken. Right! I have raised you for more than 20 years, and now I just let you teach well. In the future, I will open a private school so that I can earn some money and support my family. You are so lucky that you even suspect that I am not your mother! I was made in my previous life. What evil, how did you give birth to such an unfilial bastard!" Li Suyue said more and more angrily, looking around to find something convenient.
Then he saw the feather duster stuck in the vase on the table and pulled it out.
Liu Yingniang turned pale with fright, stood in front of Li Yu, knelt down and begged, "Mother, Yuyun is sick and confused, he didn't mean to disobey you, don't be angry, just hit me if you want to, he hasn't healed yet Woolen cloth!"
Li Yuan and Li Ru also knelt down, "Grandma, don't be angry, father is still injured, it's not too late to beat him after he recovers."
Li Yu listened to his mother's familiar words and actions, and most of the doubts in his heart were gone. Seeing Yingniang standing in front of him regardless of her pregnancy, he was a little moved, and then he heard his son's words, and felt a little helpless, "Mother , I was wrong, don't be angry."
Li Su sneered, squinting at Li Yu, "You're wrong? What's wrong with you?"
Li Yu looked at his mother's mean look, which was the same as when he quarreled with his father before, and sighed, "It's because I shouldn't be idle and lazy, and I can't do anything if I don't give birth. Mom, don't be angry, it's all sons who are useless."
"Son!" Li Su put it away when he was ready, threw the feather duster aside, walked around Liu Yingniang who was kneeling on the ground, sat on the edge of the bed, and held Li Yu's hand, "Son, when your father was around, Mother only thinks that you are still a child. You are smart since childhood, and the teachers who have taught you praise you. Your father and I will save money and save money for you to study. But now, your father is gone, and you are also three children It’s time to grow up. Everything mother, including this family, will be yours sooner or later, but if you don’t stand up, mother will give you a golden mountain. Can you keep it? You still have children Yuan'er is growing up day by day, and it's time to go to school. Although Ru'er is a girl, she will have to prepare a dowry for her in the future. There is still one in Yingniang's stomach. As a father, you have to save money for your children. The next family business? Mother is not letting you continue the scientific examination, but just letting you have free time to teach classes. I don’t ask you how much money you can make. point!"
Li Yu sighed. "Mother, I know what you said, but as long as I pass the imperial examination, all of this will happen."
"You have already missed the rural examination this time. The next rural examination will be three years later, but what if you still fail after three years? Are you going to continue like this forever? The money at home There will always be a day when the usefulness is exhausted, what are you going to do when the time comes? Pawn your wife and sell your daughter?" Li Su said.
Li Yu blushed, "Mom, what are you talking about? It's our family's turn!"
"If there were no so-called family heirlooms, do you think it would have come to this point?" Li Su said with a dark face.
Li Yu thought about it for a while, if the mother did not have a family heirloom, the family owed debts, and he was injured again, the family had no income and could not continue, maybe...
"The so-called self-cultivation, Qi family, governing the country and the world, self-cultivation, Qi family, are still ahead of governing the country and the world. You should think about what your mother said. Ying Niang, Yuaner Ruer, you all go out and let him think about it." Li Su stood up and said.
Liu Yingniang was a little worried, she looked back at Li Yu, and left obediently.
Li Yuan looked thoughtful, "Grandma, I think your words make sense. Sister, don't you think so?"
Li Ru nodded, but halfway through the nod, he felt that this was not good. He was afraid that his father would be angry, so he turned his head and saw that he had already left the room, and his father could not see him. Li Rucai breathed a sigh of relief.
I don't know what Li Yu was thinking, at least when Li Su saw him again, Li Yu's expression was sincere, "Mother, son knows that he was wrong, mother, don't worry, son will listen to you from now on. What do you say, son Just do it!"
Li Su rolled his eyes, "What's the use of listening to me, you are the head of the family, you have to be assertive. I've lost my bones, who knows when I will go to your father!"
Li Yu smiled slightly, "Mother, don't talk nonsense, you will live a long life, waiting for your son to give you an imperial order."
Li Su snorted coldly, "I'll just wait!"
After that, Li Yu was almost ready to start teaching.
Li Su asked Zuo Kui and Ling Er to tell him that the class would start the next day, and asked him to drop off the child at 3:00 am tomorrow morning and pick it up before noon, and no class in the afternoon.
Early the next morning, Ling Er brought his two sons over, carrying two chickens in his hands, threw them away and ran away without saying a word.
Li Su had no choice but to accept it. Then he took a look at Li Yu and saw that he knew how to measure, so this chicken had the right to be Shu Xiu.
Li Yu smiled slightly, but did not speak.
On the first day of class, Li Yu first assigned homework to Li Yuan and practiced calligraphy, and the other four students distributed a copy of the Three-Character Classic, and then started class. "At the beginning of human beings, nature is kind and similar, □□..."
The children read along in a daze, and the recitation was incoherent.
Li Su watched from the side, couldn't help but roll his eyes, "Stop, stop, this is how you go to class?"
Li Yu looked at Li Su blankly, what else
Li Su sighed, "Shouldn't we start with the recognition of characters? When you come up, give them the three-character scripture. Do they know what it means?"
Li Yu blinked, his father enlightened him at that time, and then he went to private school, that's what my husband taught him!
Li Su thought for a while, "Let's do this for today. Later, I will prepare a few sand tables and teach them to learn their own names first. Then I will start teaching the Three Character Classic, first recognize the characters, and then recite the memorization."
Li Yu had other plans in mind, and didn't want to fuss too much with his mother about these trivial matters, so he agreed. "That's fine. In this way, I will recite the first four sentences today, and I will teach you how to write these few words tomorrow."
Several children looked up at Li Yu with a look of trust.
The eyes of the children are the most innocent. Li Yu felt a little unnatural when he saw it. Then I began to teach the children to recite the words sentence by sentence, "The beginning of human beings."
"The beginning of human beings." The childish voices of the children sounded.
"Sex is good."
"Sex is good!"
Next door, Ling Er's family huddled together in the corner and listened. Hearing the sound of his son reading aloud, he was very happy. Ling Er wiped his eyes, turned his head and left.
"Master, where are you going?" Ling Er's daughter-in-law asked.
"Didn't you hear my aunt say that I need to prepare a sand table? I'll make a sand table. You go to the river and dig some fine sand, and sift it several times." Ling Er said. He has seen the sand table used by A Yuan of the Li family and knows how to do it.
Ling Er's daughter-in-law nodded, "Okay, I'll go right away!"
Li Su was still thinking about the sand table. When Ling Er came to pick up the child at noon, he brought four sand tables and two bags of fine sand.
"Auntie, this is the sand table I made, can you see if it can be used? And this fine sand, my wife has sifted it several times, please have a look." Ling Er scratched his head embarrassedly and said.
"Erlang, thank you so much. I was thinking about letting Zuo Kui do it this afternoon, but I didn't expect you to be ready." Li Su said with a smile.
"It's good if it works. Dalang Erlang, let's go home with Dad." Ling Er greeted.
Ling Dalang and Ling Eryun glanced at Li Yu, saw him nodding, just now they packed up their books, and happily ran to their father.
"Wait a minute, take the book with you, there is no class in the afternoon, and don't forget the homework taught in the morning at home. It will be checked tomorrow morning." Li Yu knocked on the table and said.
Ling Er saw a book on each of the children's tables, and immediately shook his hand and said, "No, no, this book is so precious, you can't take it home, what if it breaks?" Books are so precious, A book costs seven or eight pennies, which is too expensive! He must not!
Li Su said with a straight face, "Don't be polite. You have to listen to my Ayu when you learn this kind of thing. You husband and wife are both careful people, just take good care of the books." She only knew about ancient books after she went to the bookstore to buy books. How expensive. A copy of the Three Character Classic costs eight pennies! Convert it to about three hundred yuan! hehe! The four copies of the Three Character Classic cost more than a thousand. This is simply impossible in future generations!
It was precisely because he knew that ancient books were precious, Li Su remembered that there were so many books in the study at home, if they were sold, they would probably be worth a lot of money. However, Li Yun would rather acquiesce in the original owner selling his wife and daughter than sell those books. hehe! I don't know whether to call him pedantic or cruel-hearted!
Ling Er held the other with each hand, and ran away as if fleeing.
Li Su couldn't laugh or cry, "Come on, if he doesn't take it, let's put it here first. Zuo Kui, when the chicken is ready, you can send a plate to the next door."
Zuo Kui responded in a muffled voice.
Seeing this, Li Yu smiled slightly.
However, Li Su was a little puzzled. Judging from the inside, Li Yu was scheming and cruel enough. He would not change so easily. He might make some troubles, so he had to be careful. And take your time!
