Farming and reading lady

The Gu siblings didn't know what arrangements the Yan family would make or how they would deal with them, nor did they want to know. Instead of wasting time and brainpower by guessing, it would be better to do something meaningful.

Therefore, Pinyin was born during this period. Of course, it is impossible to say that it came from Gu Xixian. Instead, it is said that the ancestors of the Gu family got such a set of letters from an outsider called Huaxia. After countless generations of research and trials, they finally matched the letters with every word of Daling State in their hands, and then took it out for the teacher to consider and see if it can be promoted nationwide. Of course, they also spoke with facts. The brother and sister spent nearly a month to teach Tong Mingyan and Tong Fuzi how to use Pinyin.

Facts have proved that this method works. Tong Mingyan and Master Tong were astonished and repeatedly sighed that the ancient ancestors really had good intentions. This Pinyin is really a treasure for children's enlightenment. When this method was presented and verified, the emperor issued an imperial decree to promote it to the whole country of Daling. The beneficiaries were students all over the country. Everyone praised it, but they didn't know who invented Pinyin, because the emperor said it would be kept secret for the time being.

This was also what Tong Mingyan proposed to the emperor at the request of his two disciples, and the emperor happily agreed. He also wanted to see how far that young boy could reach. Tong Mingyan was a master because of his disciple, and the emperor promoted him a level in the name of having a keen eye for talent. Of course, it was not just his pinyin, but the increase in rice production as well. Therefore, no one raised any objections.

Tong Mingyan has been talking non-stop for a while now. He really has two lucky stars. He has been in this position for many years. It has only been a short time since he accepted disciples, but they have already entered the ranks of the second rank. The second rank is something that too many people cannot reach in their entire lives. Thinking back to the day when the two disciples solemnly handed him the pinyin...

"Teacher, this is the hard work of several generations of our Gu family. Hao'er will hand it over to you today. I hope you can make it shine as it should." Gu Xihao bowed deeply to him and raised his hands. Next to him, Gu Xixian also leaned forward and raised his hands above his head. In addition to the letters, they also annotated the Three Character Classic and made a handwritten version.

"Don't regret it? You know, this could bring you enormous wealth, and maybe even help you rise to the top." Tong Mingyan looked straight at the two of them, not wanting to miss any of their looks or movements.

"Teacher, if you don't accept it quickly, my brother and I might regret it the next second." The little girl laughed.

"Teacher, it comes from the people, and I hope it can return to the people so that all students can benefit from it. This is the meaning of its existence." The boy glanced at his sister helplessly and replied seriously.

"Have you obtained the consent of your elders for doing this?" Tong Mingyan asked again. He didn't believe that there would be anyone who would not be tempted by the title of official. As far as he knew, the old man of the Gu family wanted his children and grandchildren to succeed.

Gu Xihao complained in his heart, what right do their elders have to say they disagree? This is his sister's credit, and it has nothing to do with the other people in the Gu family. But he said: "The elders in the Gu family have taught us that everything should be done in a proper way. Some things can be coveted, and some things cannot be touched. Teacher, this is also what the elders in the family mean."

Gu Xixian gave her brother a thumbs up in her heart. What beautiful words! Her brother was growing up very fast.

Tong Mingyan took the manuscript from the two people and carefully put it in his arms: "Do you have any requests?"

He confirmed again, he really couldn't believe it.

The brother and sister looked at each other, and Gu Xihao stood up respectfully and replied again: "If possible, I hope the teacher can temporarily hide that this is something my Gu family offered."

"Oh, why?" Tong Mingyan was puzzled: "If you can register with the emperor, it will be of great benefit to your future."

Gu Xixian ran behind him, pinched his shoulders with her little hands, and said flatteringly: "Hey, teacher, people are afraid of being famous just like pigs are afraid of being fat. If everyone knew that this was donated by our Gu family, how could my brother and I survive in the capital? It would be troublesome if we went out and were surrounded by people like monkeys."

"Teacher, I want to gain a firm foothold in the capital with my own ability, rather than relying on the hard work of my ancestors to rise to the top overnight." He never wanted to soar to the top. Without a solid backing, soaring to the top is not a good thing. His sister had repeatedly told him to take steady steps.

My apprentice has great ambitions. As a teacher, I feel very happy. How can I disagree?

After launching Pinyin in this era, Gu Xixian felt that as a time traveler, her mission had been accomplished. She felt that she could just lie down like a salted fish. As for the five thousand years of history of Greater China, she would rather keep it in her mind. After all, she had no ambition to change dynasties or history. Every day, she followed her brother and teacher to learn contemporary knowledge, and then learned music, chess, calligraphy and painting from her teacher's wife. In her previous life, she always felt that there was not enough time and she lived in a hurry. Now starting over, she is still very interested in learning the life skills of ancient boudoir women.

Mrs. Tong is different from Tong Mingyan. She is a real noble lady, who is good at poetry, books and etiquette. Following her, Gu Xixian's temperament is improving day by day. Of course, this is only in front of people. Behind people, she still does what she wants and does whatever she feels comfortable. For her behavior, Tong Mingyan and his wife not only did not scold her, but used her to teach her brother a lesson called "pretending".

Mrs. Tong elegantly held the tea and said to the two siblings with a smile, "Etiquette is for use in front of others. Being dignified and generous in the world and living life as you please is life. Your brother is so tired all the time. Haven't you ever paid attention to your teacher's words and deeds at home?"

The brother and sister shook their heads. Although they lived in the same mansion, they didn't have many opportunities to spend time with their teacher except when he came back from court to teach them. After all, as a second-rank official, the teacher was still very busy. Moreover, he was always gentle and well-behaved. They had never seen the teacher in private.

"Then you should pay more attention to it in the future." Mrs. Tong did not say much, but just looked at them meaningfully. Perhaps it could make this serious young boy change his world view. Well, it's very interesting.

Gu Xixian, however, likes this couple more.

But she didn't take it too seriously, thinking that it was just the same as her, one way when going out and another way when closing the door.
