MTL - Child Bride’s Peaches and Plums Are All Over the World-Chapter 580 strive for
The guests were stunned for a moment, trying to ignore the little wooden sword in An An's arms, then pointed at the pen in her hand and praised with a smile: "As expected of the daughter of Zhuangyuan Gu, the young lady will be a talented girl in the future."
"Tiger father has no dog daughter, Gu Zhuangyuan is good at writing, and the female son will not be too bad if Mr. Gu personally teaches him."
Looking at his daughter who lowered her head to play with a brush and a wooden sword, Gu Jingyun roughly guessed why she chose these two.
The child likes to learn from adults the most. He and Baolu read and write, and this child always likes to hold a brush and learn how to scribble on paper.
As for the wooden sword, is it because of her mother's sword dance these two days?
Li Baolu felt that her daughter's choice of a brush and a wooden sword clearly meant both civil and military, but why did everyone deliberately promote literature and ignore martial arts?
Bai Yitang also couldn't get used to the guests' emphasis on literature and less martial arts, so he stretched out his big hands and hugged An An, and said with a smile, "It's just right, your father and mother teach you both literature and martial arts. In the future, let your father teach you literature, and let your mother teach you martial arts. Be a great beauty with both civil and military skills."
An An grinned at Bai Yitang and leaned in his arms intimately.
The guests were silent, Li Baolu was good-looking, and to be a teacher in Qingxi Academy, her knowledge must not be bad, and many people have seen her kung fu, which is really good. They admire and even admire such people, but it's better to marry them as a daughter-in-law.
If An An was like her mother, who would be willing to marry her unless she could meet another Gu Jingyun?
Whether the husband controls the wife or the wife controls the husband?
Although Gu Jingyun has always been cold and arrogant outside, he is also famous for pampering his wife. Everyone didn't say it, but they guessed that Gu Jingyun was a little scared.
And why are you afraid of inwardness?
Naturally, Li Baolu was too strong.
With a strong personality, knowledge and martial arts, Gu Zhuangyuan, who is delicate and frail, is her opponent. She's still a child bride, and that's all, when it's their daughter's turn, if she's like her mother, won't she be more arrogant in the future?
Everyone looked at An An and sighed, worrying about her future marriage.
Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu didn't know what everyone was thinking, and invited the guests to the table. After An An and the others left, they struggled to get back on the stage, pulled everything on it into their arms, and looked at their mother with drool.
Li Baolu said speechlessly: "Okay, it's all yours."
An An happily lay on the toy and giggled happily, Qin Xinfang couldn't help but smile.
Niuniu looked at her cousin with a look of contempt, and turned her head away, but her eyes kept on secretly.
Qin Xinfang couldn't help laughing when she saw it. Her daughter didn't want to be a child anymore after she got a big name. She obviously wanted to play, but she just pretended to be dismissive.
Qin Xinfang reached out and touched her daughter's hair, and said to Li Baolu, "After the school starts, Niuniu will also go to study. You should take care of her in the women's academy."
Niuniu pouted, "I don't want my sister-in-law to take care of me." She straightened her chest and said, "I'm very good myself."
Li Baolu touched her head with a smile and said, "Yeah, Yixin is very powerful, but your father and mother will still worry about you, so let your sister-in-law take care of you."
Niuniu became happy when she heard Li Baolu calling her name, her face flushed, and she nodded proudly: "Okay, in order to reassure father and mother, I promise to let you take care of it."
Qin Xinfang couldn't help shaking her hands, but she didn't shoot.
He felt that he was getting old and couldn't keep up with the thoughts of the children. Obviously he didn't have these troubles when he raised Qing and Chunxi, but now Niuniu always has various problems.
The problem is not big, but the accumulation of small problems is also very annoying.
Qin Xinfang couldn't help sighing when facing his wife, "In the past, when I raised Qing and them, I was only worried that Qinghe was too precocious, her personality was extreme, and she didn't look like a child. Now Niuniu looks like a child, but it's still a headache. It's better to take Chunxi, the child has never been bothered since he was a child."
"But it makes people feel distressed," He Zipei glanced at him and said, "A child who can cry has milk to eat. I think Niuniu is very good. Don't ask for Niuniu according to Chunxi and Qinghe's standards. The situation is different. , how can it be perfect?"
"I didn't want my daughter to imitate her brother and sister-in-law, but she shouldn't be too naive..."
"When did Niuniu become naive? She is only six years old. It is normal for a child of this age to behave like this. Qing and Chunxi are precocious. Do you think every child is like them?"
Seeing that the couple were about to quarrel, Gu Jingyun decisively picked up Niuniu and led Baolu out, while Bai Yitang and Qin Wenyin carried Niuniu out, and instantly only the couple were left in the main room. people interfere.
Of course, in the end, the two of them were not able to quarrel, and they soon reached a settlement on the children's education issue.
This year the academy will start on the eighth day of the second lunar month, just four days after An An’s birthday.
Li Baolu went to the academy to report that the Yongmei class she taught before had graduated and left, and now she will take over a new class starting from the third grade.
Because Qu Weizhen is also in the third grade this year, and is still in the Yongmei class, Li Baolu applied to the academy to take over this class, and at the same time, she also takes the two courses of arithmetic and history in the third grade Peony class and Haitang class.
The third grade is a watershed between the upper and lower grades of the women's college. In the women's college, because of the shortage of female teachers, most of the female teachers are arranged to teach courses at the advanced level, while the lower grades are mostly taught by male teachers.
Because the female students are still young, it is not a problem to be taught by the male gentlemen.
But in the third grade, the female students are generally between the age of eleven and fourteen, and they are already big girls.
Therefore, the third-level and above, except for the female gentleman, are quite old and more respected male gentlemen.
In the final analysis, it is still because there are too many female teachers, and it is difficult for the academy to recruit suitable teachers. This is why the teachers are required to take part in many courses.
Of course, because of this, the salary of being a Mr. of the Women's Court has always been relatively high, and Li Baolu's salary is only a little lower than that of Gu Jingyun.
And the reason why Gu Jingyun's salary is so high is because he taught a juren class, which was the highest paid class in the academy.
Li Baolu reported to the school ahead of time, got the class schedule and was about to leave when she ran into Zheng Dan head-on.
Zheng Dan saw Li Baolu and hurriedly got off the carriage to salute her, "Sir."
Li Baolu nodded slightly, glanced at the carriage and asked with a smile, "Did you just come out of the academy?"
Zheng Dan's face was a little disappointed, and nodded "yes".
"What's the matter?" Li Baolu saw that she was in a bad mood, so she couldn't help but ask: "The teacher took a year off and couldn't take you for the last year. I heard that you graduated with good grades, why are you still in a bad mood?"
"Sir, I want to teach in the academy like you." Zheng Dan looked up at her seriously, "I don't want to marry and have children yet."
Li Baolu was stunned for a moment, then nodded and smiled: "Since you want to, let's get in."
Zheng Dan said with a face full of disappointment: "But Mr. Mei Shan is not willing to accept me. Obviously I am the first in the test paper, but the chief said that I am not suitable to be a gentleman."
Zheng Dan's eyes were slightly red, and he looked at Li Baolu almost pleadingly and said, "Sir, please help me, my grandmother helped me and my father and mother fight for me to come to the academy to take the exam. If I lose this opportunity, I will never be able to. Enter the academy."
The Zheng family is also from a scholarly family. Her grandfather was a historian, and her grandmother also came from a family of historians, and she especially loved history.
After graduating from Qingxi Academy, most of the girls in the class went home to get married, and a few were discussing marriage.
And Zheng Dan is also sixteen years old, so naturally he wants to talk to him.
And the marriage is almost negotiated, but Zheng Dan is a little unwilling. She doesn't want to get married and have children right away. She wants to stay in the academy to teach and educate people like Mr. Li.
History is a fascinating subject, and she hopes more people will enjoy it.
The Zheng family is not short of money, so Mrs. Zheng was the first to object to her daughter's desire to teach. Although Mrs. Zheng did not speak, she also disagreed with her expression.
But Zheng Dan has a very supportive grandmother.
Almost when Zheng Dancai expressed her wish, Mrs. Zheng agreed immediately. And Mr. Zheng is a filial son, and his mother agreed. No matter how unwilling he is, he has to turn a blind eye.
That's why Zheng Dan has the opportunity to take the exam, but it's only a chance. If she can't enter the academy to teach, then she has to go home and prepare for marriage, and she's not allowed to mention teaching.
When Zheng Dan was rejected by Chief Mei Shan, his heart was ashes. He didn't expect to meet Mr. at the door, and he didn't care about the rules. Zheng Dan almost knelt down to Li Baolu.
Li Baolu grabbed her and said, "Don't worry, did Chief Mei Shan say why you can't enter the academy?"
Zheng Dan said with red eyes: "The mountain chief only said that I am not suitable to be a gentleman, and he did not say the rest."
Li Baolu took her hand and said, "Let's go, let's go to the academy and start from the beginning."
Zheng Dan's history is indeed very good. She has a family background and remembers some historical knowledge very firmly. Even if she can't teach senior grades, it is more than enough to teach junior grades.
This is Li Baolu's conclusion after turning over Zheng Dan's test paper.
When recruiting a gentleman, in addition to knowledge, the test is also for his teaching ability. To be honest, this era does not have strict requirements on this point. As long as a gentleman has a decent knowledge, and his teaching ability is not particularly bad, he can be recognized.
Because it is generally believed that students who are taught by people with high knowledge will naturally be good. If they are not good, it must be that the students did not study well.
But Zheng Dan was an accident. Li Baolu was silent for a while after listening to Zheng Dan's lecture, and she understood why Mei Shan would reject her.
"Student Zheng, teaching is not about studying knowledge, but researching knowledge is studying unknown knowledge, or deepening known knowledge. Teaching is to simplify complex knowledge and teach it to students in an easy-to-understand manner, so that students can understand it. Righteousness, its process and results. And you lecture," Li Baolu paused and said, "If I were not a history teacher, I would not be able to understand your lectures. It's not that your lectures are too profound, but your lectures are too brief. It’s too jumpy, you skip many knowledge points directly, and the class you teach in one class may be my teaching volume for a week.”
"I only listened to it for a quarter of an hour. If I listen to it for three quarters of an hour, I think I'll end up dozing off."
Zheng Dan said with a dark face: "Mr. Mei Shan fell asleep just now."
