MTL - The Reborn Lady is Farming-Chapter 12 Liu Yong

   Liu Yong was nine years old at the time, and he studied with Shu Wanniang for more than two months, but he only recognized a small part of the Three Character Classic, and there were always omissions in the small part.

  Ms. Shu Wan has a soft temperament, but she can't be more accurate in seeing people. If Liu Yong is only clumsy, then diligence can make up for his clumsiness. She might fight for him, but Liu Yong's character is paranoid, somewhat ambitious, and impatient, and is not suitable for reading.

Shu Wanniang said to the patriarch: "Liu Yong and I learned to read characters, and they are the quickest among the children, and they are also hardworking. Every day, they come to study before dawn, and only go back when it is dark. Except for him, the village also There are five children who come here from time to time, and because they are of the same age and have no foundation, I will teach them together, only teaching three sentences a day, and after learning more, I will start teaching a page a day.”

   The patriarch was surprised. He only asked Shu Wanniang, Liu Yong, and didn't understand why Shu Wanniang brought out the other five children. Was it for him to compare?

Shu Wanniang continued: "Liu Li, the grandson of the third uncle, is older, the most sensible, and the fastest learner. Every day he and I read it over and over again, after memorizing the gestures, he leaves. I thought he didn't like to read, but later When I saw him working in the fields, he also recited words in his mouth, and he often gestured those words in his hands when he was free."

The patriarch Liu He said proudly: "Liu Li lost his father since he was a child, and he has always been very diligent. When he was only four years old, he would go to the fields to help his mother work. It's hard at home..."

  Shu Wanniang felt a little regretful in her heart, because she felt that Liu Li was the most suitable person to take the imperial examination. If the Liu family had to train someone, it would depend on what the village chief meant, and he was unwilling.

Shu Wanniang paused and said, "Every time Liu Li comes, he will carry a bundle of firewood, and your grandson Liu Ping is also very good. Every time he comes, he will help me fill the water tank with water before leaving. , the other children rushed to finish the work in my yard," Shu Wanniang smiled embarrassedly, "When they came, my husband and I both felt much more relaxed."

The patriarch listened patiently, he felt that Shu Wanniang was the daughter of a scholar family, and she had good knowledge. It's their husband, they should be filial to you."

Shu Wanniang nodded and said, "I know this is their filial piety, but it will inevitably affect Liu Yong, who is concentrating on his studies. There were quarrels several times when I was away. Liu Yong felt that they were too noisy in the yard, which affected him. Recognition."

   The patriarch smiled stiffly, leaned over and asked, "Are you saying that Liu Yong didn't help you?"

Shu Wanniang never spoke ill of people, so her face was a little uncomfortable, but she nodded and said, "That child has been buying time to practice calligraphy. He has been studying since the morning until the evening, even during busy farming seasons, so he recognized Words are much faster than others, and others can't keep up with his progress, so he and I asked him to study alone..."

Shu Wanniang said: "He and the other five people were very close before, but recently he didn't even want to say hello to Liu Li and the others. When he saw my husband and asked about the words he recognized, he knew that there were fewer words than he recognized. Don't say hello to my husband."

Seeing that the patriarch's face became more ugly, Shu Wanniang exhaled and said earnestly: "Patriarch, I will only tell you these words, I will naturally teach him how to read and write with me, but you have to support him with the strength of your entire clan. One person, Wan Niang can't make a conclusion about his future, she can only tell you about his daily performance."

   The patriarch asked: "Since he recognizes characters faster than others, can he remember the characters he learned earlier?"

Shu Wanniang sighed: "This is the second key, he has to memorize so many words in one day, and he still remembers the next day and the third day, but if he looks at it again after five days, he may not recognize all of them, but he refuses to look back. Reviewing, I feel that it is a waste of time, it is better to look forward and review it again later. Patriarch, study is supposed to move forward step by step, and now he is running, how can the foundation be solid?"

  The patriarch was at a loss for words, got up and saluted Shu Wanniang, "I have troubled you recently with the children, I will go back and discuss with them."

   Shu Wanniang sees off the guest.

   Liu Yong was indeed not suitable for the imperial examination, and Shu Wanniang could not even figure out where he got the confidence that he could rely on the imperial examination to stand out.

The imperial examinations of this dynasty were very difficult. Only 300 people were selected every three years, and the 300-strong middle-class family accounted for the majority, and the children of other farming families were also strong opponents. After all, the educational resources are there. , every time more than 5 of the 300 people who are recruited are from the poor family, it is very good.

   And in the world, how many poor men participated in the imperial examinations?

  Liu Yong learned to read when he was nine years old. He didn't even have a book, no book, no good teacher, and he was not particularly smart. How could he surpass others?

  If he had a tough temperament and a high moral character, Shu Wanniang might still support him. After all, diligence can make up for clumsiness, and high morality can lead to another way, but it has only been two months and he has not been able to hide his emotions. Shu Wanniang naturally understands his nature clearly.

Among the six, he was nine years old, not to mention the oldest Liu Li, even Liu Ping, who was only eight years old, would take the initiative to run back to help his parents and family after memorizing those words, and only took time to memorize those few words when he was busy. Character.

   But he didn't leave the yard of her house from morning to night, he squatted under the plane tree in the yard to study, and didn't leave until it was dark.

The other five children who come to her to learn to read will help her to do what they can, but he dislikes their noise affecting him, and even every time she washes rice and cooks, he frowns and looks unhappy. .

   Although Shu Wanniang has a soft temperament, it is not that she has no temper. She is his husband, and he eats and drinks at her house for free, but she is not happy with her work?

   At that time, Shu Wanniang was pregnant with Mu Yangling. It was the time when a pregnant woman was most sensitive and thoughtful. She cried a lot at night with Mu Shi on her back.

  The most important thing in reading is resilience. Sometimes doing a study requires repeated verification and inquiries, but he is unwilling to go back and review it. He is too eager for quick success.

If she was in a rich family, she would naturally not meddle in her own business, but the Liu family was too poor, and supporting one person to study meant that in the next 20 years or even longer, they would have to cut down on food and clothing. Not going to a good man's house.

  Shu Wanniang didn't want them to pay such a high price to make such a decision, so she was biased to tell the patriarch of the Liu family something.
