To be honest, when the news first reached the capital, most people who knew the personalities of Zhang Yuanwen and Zhang Yuanwu laughed.
What? Have they both passed the examination? Is this some new joke
Don't they know what these two brothers are like? Even if they really start to make progress this year, work hard, and study hard, they haven't laid a good foundation before. It would be good to be admitted to the Tongsheng Examination, and it would be a miracle to be admitted to the Scholarship Examination.
Lift people
This thing is not a big cabbage. You can pull one up just by walking around in the field.
This is to lift a person.
Not to mention the two ten-year-old children Zhang Yuanwen and Zhang Yuanwu, even in those famous scholarly places in the capital, children who have been studying seriously since they were five years old and can pass the exam at the age of fifteen are considered to be burning incense in their ancestral graves.
How could Zhang Yuanwen and Zhang Yuanwu be admitted to the Juren Examination in one year
Those who are not interested in learning just say so.
Isn't this year just in time for the blessing of longevity, so that young students and talented people can be praised in the same year
Although it is a little rushed, it is not impossible to pass the exam directly.
As soon as he said this, others laughed.
This has nothing to do with whether they can take the exam in the same year. What matters is how these two children suddenly became knowledgeable.
Don't say anything about taking a hermit as your teacher.
That is a hermit, not a god. After one year of apprenticeship, two children who were not interested in studying at all a year ago were able to pass the examination. This is something that even the most powerful gentleman in the Imperial College cannot do.
There was a lot of discussion in the capital, and some people even thought that maybe the two brothers had cheated.
Of course, cheating in the imperial examination is a serious crime. This is what they thought in their hearts, but no one said it to their faces.
In short, it's a mule or a horse. It will be clear when these two children come to the capital to take the exam.
Ji Changze continued his devilish education.
But during the Chinese New Year this year, he let the two children go back to celebrate the New Year.
This was a big surprise for Mr. Zhang and Mrs. Zhang. It was a temporary decision to let the two children go home for the New Year. Not long after the letter was delivered, the two children had already appeared in the capital.
When they left the capital, they were still childish, and they didn't seem to have an peaceful temper. Even if they looked good, they still had the temperament of a child.
But now, they have only been away for a short time. When they left, they were full of arrogance. Now when they come back, they are riding back with a team of people. They are wearing comfortable clothes for riding. Their two similar faces are full of fierceness. They are so young. , just ride the horse so skillfully.
When they arrived at the door of the house, even the servants who had watched them grow up looked at the two young masters who had changed a lot and were a little afraid to recognize them.
The two of them held it still, threw the riding whip to the servant, and went straight into the inner courtyard. As soon as they saw their parents, they knelt down and said that the children were unfilial and had not been able to support their parents in the past two years.
Neither Mr. Zhang nor Mrs. Zhang could tell whether they felt surprised or frightened.
The child who was tugging at their sleeves when they left, crying not to be separated from his parents, has grown up in just two years. He has grown a lot (it would be strange if he doesn't grow when he practices martial arts every day), and his baby fat is gone. , the appearance began to change from cute at the beginning to handsome.
The two of them can no longer be called children, but young men.
Looking at the servants around them, they command and move without even the slightest pause, which shows that their ability to control their subordinates is also good.
Mr. Zhang was still shocked by the huge surprise that his son had become so good. Mrs. Zhang had already held her two children in her arms and cried:
"Look at how thin you are. You have suffered a lot along the way, right? My son."
Zhang Yuanwen and Zhang Yuanwu were actually very excited to see their mother, but they held it back and sat down with their mother, coaxing her and saying, "Mom, don't be sad, aren't we doing well? We haven't suffered any hardships along the way. When it’s time to eat, we eat too, and when it’s time to sleep, we stop to rest.”
Mrs. Zhang saw that although the eyes of the two children were reddened, their expressions were calm, and she was surprised in her heart that they had become so stable now.
When I think about them becoming a Juren at such an age, I feel even more proud.
"My son is really different now. When he knew you were admitted to the Juren Examination, your father almost spit out the tea he just drank."
When Mr. Xiao Zhang heard about himself, he smiled: "Why are you talking about me? Don't listen to your mother. She is the one who can't believe it the most. She thought she was just dreaming that whole day. "
He asked again: "Didn't your husband always ask you to study with him before? Why are you back for the New Year? Could it be that you made your husband unhappy and asked them to kick you out?"
If they had heard their father say this before, the two children would definitely be unhappy. They would only make their husband unhappy by whispering about you.
But now...
Zhang Yuanwen replied: "Dad, you are joking. My husband has always loved me and my brother. How could he be angry with us? It's just that my wife is pregnant. My husband is busy taking care of my wife, so naturally he can't take care of us. It happened to be the Chinese New Year, so he gave us a holiday. I will go back after the Chinese New Year.”
Mrs. Zhang asked doubtfully: "Your wife is pregnant. How can a man like you sir take care of her? Don't you have a girl to take care of her?"
Zhang Yuanwu: "My mother doesn't know something. The teacher and my wife are very close to each other. We were close to each other before. Now that my wife is pregnant, the teacher wants to do everything by himself. Naturally, he can't take care of my brother and me."
After hearing this, Mrs. Zhang was a little envious.
She also has a good relationship with Mr. Xiao Zhang, but it is absolutely impossible for Mr. Xiao Zhang to stay with her when she is pregnant every day.
Envying him, he also felt a little more favorable toward Ji Changze.
In any case, for women, a man who can be considerate to his wife is a good one.
In addition, he taught her two sons from being playboys to what they are now, and she was even more grateful.
As parents, although they are happy that their children are outstanding, what they want more is that their children are safe and sound. The two of them did not ask too many questions, and happily ate with their two children, and then talked about how their lives have been in the past two years. wait.
But other families in the capital caused a sensation again.
The two Zhang family children are back.
He was still a young child two years ago, but now he is able to take charge of his own business.
When they went to visit their grandfather, they were tested on their knowledge. Each one answered more fluently than the last, with excellent answers and a very confident attitude. I heard that the cousins who grew up with them were shocked when they saw it and couldn't close their jaws. .
Not only their knowledge, but also their old friends invited them to go hunting. Even two years ago, they had no strength to draw the bow, but now they both hit the target with perfect accuracy, came back with a full load, and made a splash.
Later, he participated in the Flowing Water Banquet, and his drinking habits at the banquet also attracted the limelight. When he was having fun, he even played a song.
A gentleman is proficient in all six arts.
And this actually only took two years.
They all knew what these two brothers were like two years ago, and they can really see what they are like now.
What kind of ability does that hermit who lives in the mountains have to teach two naughty children to be like this
Ji Changze's expectation was good, and these two children would be his living signature if he could teach them well.
There is no way, they are too smart, and their previous performance was too poor. This is the same as the prodigal son turning back. The more assholes he was before, the more obvious the benefits will be later.
Even if Ji Changze never set foot in the capital, his legend was spread among every family in the capital.
Children have always been the weak spot of every family.
Who doesn't want his or her child to be outstanding? It would be best if he could enter the court and have a higher official position than himself.
Now that I saw the appearance of Zhang Yuanwen and Zhang Yuanwu, my heart started to flutter.
I heard that Mr. Ji was very young, less than thirty. He was a scholar in the previous dynasty. Later, he ascended the throne today. He had poor health, so he lived in the mountains and never thought about working in the court again.
But why can one scholar teach two scholars
People didn't understand it at first, but it became clear after they found out what happened to Ji Changze.
This Mr. Ji is really unlucky. He became famous at a young age. He should have had a smooth journey. However, he was unlucky. He had to wait three years and three years and three years and three years to become a scholar. He had to wait three years and three years. Something happened at home. How could he survive? It is easy to drag yourself to finish the exam, and the previous dynasty is destroyed.
Not to mention Mr. Ji, even if they were to take on the role, they would feel that their mentality was going to collapse.
After that, this gentleman seemed to have given up taking the imperial examination, lived in the mountains, married a wife, and lived a peaceful life in the mountain village. Later, in order to enlighten the people, he was discovered by Zhang Yuanwen and Zhang Yuanwu's grandfather, who eagerly begged to hand over his two children. Gave it to Ji Changze.
In just two years, he turned these two children into successful candidates.
It’s only been two years! ! !
When they first heard that Master Zhang asked a young hermit in the mountains to teach his children, some people were still disdainful.
What tricks can a former scholar teach
If you really want your child to be well, you might as well send your child to the Imperial Academy. After all, this is the academy of the imperial court, and there are many knowledgeable bosses in it. If these bosses can't teach, a poor family in the mountains will What can a scholar from the previous dynasty teach
The lofty words at the beginning have now turned into slaps in the face.
A former scholar, what can he really teach! !
Parents were tempted and planned to send their children there to see if they could teach a child like Zhang Yuanwen and Zhang Yuanwu.
Don't ask for them to be exactly the same, even if their style and knowledge are only half of theirs.
Zhang Yuanwen and Zhang Yuanwu stopped them and said that they would write a letter to ask what Mr. Wang meant.
Otherwise, my husband has never been interested in worldly affairs (too lazy). If I just let these children run away rashly, if my husband doesn't accept them, their trip will be in vain.
The letter was quickly delivered to the village with the eager anticipation of the parents.
At this time, Ji Changze was supporting Zhao Yueniang and walking around the village with her.
After Zhao Yueniang became pregnant, he bought two little girls and took charge of cooking and taking care of Zhao Yueniang and Liu. However, the job of going for a walk was usually Ji Changze's own job.
He spoke in a gentle tone: "When Yuan Wen and Yuan Wu return to Beijing, I'm afraid there will be a large number of people who want to join me. I plan to collect money. When I have money in hand, I will open a big school and let poor families get free of charge." Children enroll in school.”
"School? Is it open in the village?"
Ji Changze nodded; "It's in the village. Isn't there a peach grove behind our village? I'll buy that place when the time comes. They all say that the proudest thing about being a teacher is to have peaches and plums all over the world. I'll teach in the peach grove." , which is quite consistent.”
Zhao Yueniang thought for a while: "But husband, you have always refused to accept money before, and now you suddenly accept money, will others say you are doing it for money?"
Ji Changze looked upright and his eyes were solemn.
"You don't have to look at what other people think of you as a human being, as long as you have a clear conscience."
Zhao Yueniang's eyes immediately looked at her husband with more admiration.
This is Nagasawa.
In order to be able to teach those children from poor families who cannot afford to go to school, he did not hesitate to be misunderstood.
No matter how many times, Zhao Yueniang will thank herself for deciding to keep Nagasawa.
Otherwise, she would not be as happy as she is now.
Before Zhang Yuanwen and Zhang Yuanwu's letter arrived, Ji Changze's letter had already arrived.
The two brothers were speechless for a while after reading it.
Therefore, what the teacher means is that he not only wants a good reputation, but also wants everyone to send him money. It is best if everyone thinks that he is a good person while sending him money.
Because coming up with a way to get the best of both worlds requires brains, and he spent so much energy teaching these two students that he didn't want to use his brain again.
So disciples, the teacher has always been worried about you, and this time it is your turn to help the teacher worry about you.
Help me think of a good way to solve this problem. I believe in you! come on! !
Add more oil! Add it!
Zhang Yuanwen and Zhang Yuanwu were expressionless.
This teacher is really a bitch.
So the teacher worked so hard to teach them out just to let them get in when he wanted to trick people but was too lazy to think of a way
Although there are countless alpacas running through my heart, who would let this be my teacher.
The two of them took a breath of resignation and began to prepare for the teacher's school career.
In fact, if I think about it, the teacher is right. They don't know how to make money. If they could make money, the teacher could just use their money. Why bother asking others to give it to them
So in the final analysis, they are still wrong... Wait, why did the teacher get involved again
People in the capital didn't know how the two people, who looked quite stable on the outside, were furiously posting messages on the screen, complaining about Mr. Ji, whom they praised so much.
All they knew was that Mr. Ji, who did not want to leave the village, was going to start a school.
It's not a literacy class, it's a real school.
Food and accommodation are all in the school. You may not be able to go home for a year and a half, and you can only concentrate on studying in the school.
Moreover, he only looks at qualifications and academic level, and does not charge money.
This is really a pillow for those who are sleepy! ! !
They were just about to let their children find a way to become apprentices. Mr. Ji was about to open a school, and it would be free of charge. When the time came, they wouldn't have to worry about their children not being able to become apprentices. They could just move into the school directly.
Parents are happy, excited and excited.
Zhang Yuanwen and Zhang Yuanwu looked very cooperative and told the school roughly what it should be like.
The place to stay is probably to have a bed and cover in Datongpu. I bring my own bedding and so on, so it’s okay.
As for food, since the teacher is so poor, it would be nice to have clear soup and little water every day.
The sun is scorching over there, the winter is cold, there is no ice in the summer, and there are no heating coals in the winter, but it's not bad. Studying, it's nothing to suffer.
What? Bring it yourself? A gift from your family
This probably won't work. The teacher likes closed management. You can't leave the school until you learn something, and it's even more impossible for outsiders to get in. Besides, everyone lives together. If you really bring your own ice cubes, Warm charcoal, wouldn't it be too eye-catching and make classmates restless
Parents' desire to send their children to school was extinguished as if a basin of cold water had been poured on them.
But I’m not willing to give in.
Even if they are willing to raise their children for a lifetime, what will they do when they grow old and die? When you are alive, you are a supporter, but when you die, you are like a tree falling down and the macaques scattering
And this child cannot remain a child his whole life.
In the future, they will get married and become husbands and fathers. When they are husbands, the wife can tolerate his ignorance. But when they become fathers, won't their children's future marriages also depend on whether he is a successful father
Even if they don't talk about their father, their marriage depends on whether they are good or not.
Isn’t Zhang Yuanwen and Zhang Yuanwu the best example
After they returned to the capital, there were many families with girls who were ready to take action.
This is all because of the teachings of Mr. Ji.
But they really don't dare to think about letting their pampered children suffer such pain.
At this time, Zhang Yuanwen and Zhang Yuanwu arranged a trust and began to send money to the Zhang family with great fanfare.
To put it bluntly, we are not giving this money to you, we want to donate it to your husband’s academy. Your husband is poor and refuses to practice self-cultivation. He must be short of money to build a school, so he is willing to do his best. , let the teacher build the school better for the benefit of students all over the world.
As soon as this happened, all the parents seemed to have opened up some connections between Ren and Du. They no longer worried or entangled, and each one started to collect money and send it to the Zhang family.
Mr. Ji refused to restrain Xiu, so he had to accept the money donated to the school.
They are reluctant to bear hardships for their children, so they can only change the environment where they endure hardships.
As long as money is available, environmental improvement is not easy.
Zhang Yuanwen and Zhang Yuanwu knew the essence of Ji Changze. While saying no, he accepted the money after rejecting it.
By the way, one person also wrote a receipt, one for each person.
With a rather embarrassed expression on his face, he said: "Sir, he has always disliked money. We don't know whether he will accept it. Let's write down the amount today. When we go back, if he accepts it and uses it to build the academy, it will be natural." Everyone is happy, and if he refuses to accept it, we will return it as recorded."
Don't give it back, just accept it quickly.
Money is a trivial matter, and our children cannot endure hardship.
Obviously I am the one giving the money, but the parents are more anxious than anyone else.
Mr. Ji, please don’t accept it, but you must accept this money.
From ancient times to the present, Ji Changze is the first person to be begged for money.
He had instructed his students to prepare for this matter. How could he not accept it
Zhang Yuanwen and Zhang Yuanwu rode lightly on horseback when they left, but followed a convoy when they came back.
Large banknotes cannot be exchanged in small counties, so their boxes are full of money, along with some charcoal donated by parents.
They were showing off enough along the way, and luckily they hired people from the escort agency to follow them, otherwise they might be able to get someone to take advantage of them.
When they arrived at the boundary, Zhang Yuanwen and Zhang Yuanwu had people carry the box in, and then they went in to see the teacher.
Old God Ji Changze sat in the upper seat, glanced at the box, and asked: "How much money did you get back?"
Zhang Yuanwen rolled his eyes in his heart, took out the account book and handed it over, complaining affectionately: "Isn't it easy for you to make money? If you don't say anything else, let's talk about the hot pot recipe. What if you want to sell it? It can be sold for a large sum of money, not to mention there are other things coming one after another, but you don’t want to earn it yourself. Yuan Wu and I were worried all the way when we were trying to bring back such a large sum of money.”
“It’s too much trouble to earn money by myself, and it’s not in line with my temperament, which treats money like dirt.”
After Ji Changze shamelessly praised himself, he looked through his account book and said, "Hey, someone also sent wood. This is really good. I was worried before that the wood here was not suitable for building a house."
Zhang Yuanwu couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"Teacher, can you please stop making such a fuss? It's as if you love to take advantage."
"Why not take advantage of it? People are alive, just don't do bad things. This is something you and I both agree on. They gave me money, and I was happy. The school was built, and they were happy. One piece of money, and two pieces of it. Happiness, why not do it.”
Zhang Yuanwen Zhang Yuanwu: "..."
"Do you know what method we used?"
"With your little brains, what else can you come up with besides this method."
Ji Changze put the account book aside and took a sip of tea comfortably: "Okay, when the academy is established, set up a monument and tell how much money these people have donated and how many things they are willing to engrave on it. We will repay the money, and when my school is established, their reputation will also rise."
Zhang Yuanwu exposed him very rudely: "Are you sure you don't want more people to come and send money and things after this matter gets out, just to gain a good reputation?"
Ji Changze smacked his lips.
"I also have this idea, but I didn't let them give it away. If they insist on giving it away, what can I do? Hey, these powerful people think clearly, and they are all willing to pay for it. Money, you said that people have paid for it, can I not accept it? No! Otherwise, wouldn’t that hurt people’s hearts?”
Zhang Yuanwen Zhang Yuanwu: "..."
No matter how long you have been with the teacher, you have learned something from the teacher.
At this moment, the two of them couldn't help but feel in their hearts that Ji Changze had once again refreshed the lower limit of their knowledge of him.
The teacher is really a bitch.
****
No matter what happened, the construction of the academy that Ji Changze had been thinking about began.
He drew the drawings himself and supervised the work himself.
If you have money, you can build as much as you want.
What's more, the land in this village is cheap. After the news spread that Ji Changze taught two people to be educated, the county magistrate would give him some face. When he heard that this gentleman who taught students well was going to build a school, he was so happy that he wanted to buy it himself. Go down to the ground and deliver it to him.
It's strange that the county magistrate is unhappy.
Ji Changze established a school in the county. When the time comes, any talents, candidates, or even Jinshi who come out of the school will be all due to him.
This person was able to teach people to be successful at the age of 20 before, but he may not be as good at it in the future.
Therefore, Ji Changze's land purchase went smoothly, not only at a much cheaper price, but also came with a large area.
It's not too big for him, and people will start construction as soon as the land is started.
You have money.
Even if he has no money now, he will write on the inscription who and how much money he donated, and then set up the monument at the gate of the school so that everyone passing by the academy can look at their names and thank them. When word spreads about his contribution to the students, everyone will eagerly come to him with money in their hands for the sake of fame.
These days, as long as you have money, nothing else matters.
The school was established in full swing.
Ji Changze doesn't have the temperament to engage in poverty education. If he has money, why not make the school better? The students are here to learn, not to endure hardship.
The better the conditions, the more powerful people will be attracted to give money and donations in the future, right
While the school was still under construction, Ji Changze began to train talents.
In such a big school, it is impossible for him to be the only teacher.
It must be taught by gentlemen, and it must be fully developed morally, intellectually, physically and aesthetically.
He dug one here and one there, but he didn't dig too hard.
Anyway, when school starts, there will naturally be older students, and he doesn't believe that there can't be one of these students who doesn't take the imperial examination. Since he can't pass the imperial examination and has the ability, he might as well stay in school and become a teacher.
After everything was arranged properly, Ji Changze's eldest daughter was born.
This is a child who is destined to be loved very much, because she has countless senior brothers and sisters. When Ji Changze opens this school, he is the master of countless people, and the daughter of the master, so how can he not take care of her
Zhao Meiniang originally thought that Ji Changze would be unhappy if Zhao Yueniang gave birth to a daughter. After all, everyone could see how much he cared about Zhao Yueniang's pregnancy. Walking with her every day didn't count. She even bought a little girl to make Zhao Yueniang special food for pregnant women. .
Ms. Liu also enjoyed a happy life. She went from a village woman who had to do laundry in the winter to an old lady with girls squeezing her shoulders and back.
It seems like yesterday that the mother and son were bullied by their second wife, but now, they have lived a good life with Ji Changze.
After knowing that Zhao Yueniang was pregnant, Zhao Meiniang looked forward to giving birth to a daughter every day.
Of course, at first she was hoping that Zhao Yueniang would have a miscarriage, but seeing her cousin's belly getting bigger and bigger, Ji Changze would accompany her wherever she went, and she didn't have to do any work and had a dedicated girl to take care of her, so she consciously gave up. Got this idea.
They have been carefully taken care of like this, and it is too difficult to have an abortion.
Better have a daughter.
Ji Changze is almost thirty years old and must be anxious to have a son to inherit the family property. If Zhao Yueniang gives birth to a daughter, he will definitely feel dissatisfied. With his current status, will it be difficult to find another one
Zhao Meiniang's thoughts were very beautiful. Unfortunately, Zhao Yueniang had given birth to a daughter, but Ji Changze's reaction did not look like he was angry at all.
When she found out that Zhao Yueniang had given birth to a daughter, Zhao Meiniang was so happy that she ate an extra bowl of rice, which made her sister-in-law unhappy all afternoon.
As a result, in the evening, when she planned to go out for a walk and listen to the villagers' gossip about the birth of a daughter in Ji Changze's family, she did not receive the response she deserved.
It stands to reason that people in the village like to gossip, especially when it comes to children. How old is a family that has no children? How many families have given birth to are still daughters? After talking about the children, let’s talk about ourselves. opinions, express your sympathy or gloat.
Zhao Meiniang hadn't listened to gossip for a long time, and the people in the village seemed to have been brainwashed. Ji Changze said a few words and went to listen to his literacy lectures every morning and evening.
Yes, the status of a scholar is high.
But they have no foundation. No matter how serious they study, they will never be able to pass the exam. Since they can't pass the exam, what's the use of learning it.
Moreover, why do women want to go? Don’t you know that it is virtuous for a woman to have no talent
Zhao Meiniang despised their way of wasting time and was destined to get no reward. Every time when the villagers went to attend classes, she would hide in the house to rest and sleep.
So, she couldn't make the trip.
The people in the village who originally despised the birth of daughters all looked like different people, with smiles on their faces: "Mr. Ji got a thousand pieces of gold. This is such a happy event. See how happy Mr. Ji is. I went to borrow something yesterday. Look." Mr. Zhuji even changed the diapers himself."
"No, Yueniang is enjoying a good life. She lies in bed and is given good food and drink. Someone also takes care of the child. I heard from Ms. Liu that if the child cries at night, Mr. Ji will get up and take care of it. .”
"The child looks good, pink and jade, like a small dumpling. He is only a few days old and has already opened up."
Zhao Meiniang: "..."
its not right! ! Your painting style is not like this! !
Shouldn't you be saying sourly that even if Zhao Yueniang is lucky enough to marry Ji Changze, it won't matter if she can't have a son and will be abandoned sooner or later
Wake up! ! These are your lines! ! !
Zhao Meiniang asked tentatively, and then received a bunch of surprised looks from the ladies and daughters-in-law:
"What are you talking about? What's wrong with your daughter? Aren't you a girl? Isn't your mother a girl? If everyone wants to have boys instead of girls, what's the use of having men? Without girls, who will give birth to children? We would have already Absolutely dead."
Zhao Meiniang: "..."
The aunt beside her nodded in agreement: "Yes, you are also a woman, and you should know how difficult it is for a woman to live. Even if men look down on women, how can you think that women are useless?"
"You are really too shallow. We are both women, so you should also stand from a woman's perspective."
Zhao Meiniang: "..."
She felt that these people in the village were crazy.
That's not what you said before! ! Boys are treasures and girls are grass, isn't it the water thrown out by the married daughter? !
She just hadn't participated in group chats for more than a year, so why did these people's attitudes change completely? ! !
This is not even the most shocking thing. The most shocking thing is that Zhao Meiniang was shocked to find that the men in the village who always favored boys over girls have also changed.
In the past, men in the village would only hug their sons, but their daughters would frown upon them from birth. After all, daughters are like losers. After they are raised, they cannot return to their parents' families after they get married. They are raising wives for other people's families, not for themselves. Raise a daughter.
And if they are unable to give birth to a daughter and continue the family line, they will also get angry.
She hadn't noticed it before, but after taking a closer look this time, she discovered that the girls in the village were wearing much newer clothes and had headbands tied on their heads. When her father came back from time to time, he would play with them and play with them.
In the past, this was a treatment that only a few favored girls had.
Zhao Meiniang is one of those few, so she has always been proud. She is proud that she can be favored among a group of unfavored girls. Every time she shows off to them how good her parents are to her, and looks at their envious eyes, she will be filled with joy. She was happy for a long time.
But now, most girls in the village actually have such treatment.
"What's wrong with my daughter? Isn't my daughter her own flesh and blood? Teach her well so that when she grows up, she will still be able to be filial to her parents and help her family. Meiniang, your idea is unacceptable. Any water thrown by a married daughter will not be thrown away by her mother's family. After letting them come back, can women still beg them to let them in? If you think about it, in the past, after a girl got married, she became someone else's family. It was a matter between two families, but now, when a girl in our village gets married, her natal family will help her. , the natal family takes the lead, and when something happens to the natal family later, the husband's family naturally has to help. Both parties help each other, and life becomes easier and easier. The girl can also often go back to her natal family to be filial to her parents. Isn't this a great thing that has the best of both worlds? How can you still do it? I have the same backward thinking as before.”
Zhao Meiniang: "..."
Is she behind? ?
Whether she wanted to or not, she was really falling behind.
During the long time she refused to attend the class, Ji Changze had been brainwashing the villagers.
People who are uneducated themselves are easily fooled, not to mention Ji Changze. His status and eloquence are enough to deal with the people in this village. In addition, life becomes easier and easier if he listens to his words. Gradually, The people in the village themselves didn't notice that they had changed much.
People follow the crowd. In the past, if you doted on your daughter, people might laugh at you for treating a girl's movie as a treasure.
But now if you don't treat your daughter as a human being, the whole village will despise you and think that you are cruel and heartless and don't care about your own flesh and blood. Even the clan elders can directly come forward. If you don't repent, the girl will be taken away. , let those who have no children, or those who want a daughter, take good care of her.
The people in the village haven't noticed yet, but they have gradually acquired propriety, integrity, and moral values. When they go out, they are no longer timid because they have knowledge in their stomachs. People look up to them when they go out.
After the girl in their village became famous, more and more people came to ask for marriage. Who doesn't want to marry a daughter-in-law who can bring her own support? Although the risk is that it is not good for the girls in their village, the whole village will be angry and come to have a baby. Daughters should also be treated well, but being nice to their daughter-in-law is not enough, and being nice to their daughters is even more important. No one will throw away their own flesh and blood, except those who are really cruel.
People in the village began to care about hygiene and cleanliness. They kept things clean by themselves and did not throw away garbage and filth everywhere. They worked hard to read and teach their children. Even the old lady would scratch the ground with a branch. Woolen cloth.
Mr. Ji said that if you want your children to prosper, you need to be somewhat capable. Once she learns to read and write, she can teach her grandchildren.
This time Mr. Ji established an academy and hired more than half of the village to work on it. While working, the guys were quite happy to follow up the article sentence by sentence.
Unknowingly, the whole village has become a real paradise, and everyone is very motivated to learn (those who are not motivated are brainwashed by Ji Changze).
Except for the unlucky second-fang family, they refused to attend the class, so now they are sadly at odds with the whole village.
Finally, the academy covering an extremely large area was built.
When the news came back to the capital, the parents were extremely happy, but the students were on the contrary. They were pushed out of the house by their parents in tears, and they went to school together in a horse-drawn carriage.
They also knew where they were going, a remote, poor mountain village.
Students who have never been to a mountain village listened to the popular science from those who have.
The backward and ignorant villagers have a harsh living environment. The ground is full of gold. When it rains, the ground is muddy and they have no place to stay. And they have to live in such an environment for at least a year.
Along the way, everyone was sighing, hoping that they were not the ones who wanted to study. That Mr. Ji looked down upon them and let them leave. However, they did not know that although Mr. Ji had a high vision, he always repaid kindness. , none of them, whose parents have donated money, can even think of running away, even if they are forced to break up, they will be turned into talents.
"Young masters, we have arrived at the entrance of the village. The village entrance does not allow carriages to enter, so you have to get out of the car and leave on your own."
Even carriages can't get in at the entrance of the village. How small this village must be.
The young boys got out of the car with sighs, and when they stood still, they were stunned.
The ground underfoot is clean and tidy, and the plaque at the entrance of the village is wiped clean. In the distance, someone is working in the farmland. He obviously looks like he is in his thirties or forties, and his skin is dark, but he is working and carrying Written in ancient Chinese.
Ahead, neat little children ran past laughing, singing the Thousand-Character Classic.
There was an old lady standing aside and looking at them with a smile. She was holding a branch in her hand and writing on the ground one stroke at a time.
In the distance, you can see bamboo buildings standing in the distance. They are tall and full of serious academic atmosphere.
This is what my parents were talking about...a remote village? ? ?
