Aoyama Chronicle

When Zhong Yiwen told Li Zheng and the others about his plan to set up a school in the village, he was immediately welcomed by Li Zheng and several elders in the village.

However, in the selection of the master, they had a huge difference.Li Zheng and the others unanimously hope that Zhong Yiwen can be the teacher of this school.However, Zhong Yiwen recommended He Jianghai, a non-staff member of his own family, who is a standard one-action person. He is already overqualified to enlighten children, so what else do you want to do.

Li Zheng and the others didn't know who He Jianghai was, but when He Jianghai almost took away the boy from Zhong Yiwen's family, it was spread by Xiaobao and his children that the whole village had heard about it.With such a dark history, how can Lizheng let He Jianghai be the teacher without worry? Isn't this teaching bad boys?Besides, He Jianghai is not from Zhongjiacun. Although Lizheng and the others have seen it before, they still feel that they are a bit out of touch.This made him a gentleman, Lizheng and the others were afraid that it would be more difficult for them to communicate with Rang, because Zhong Yiwen was not as easy to talk to as Zhong Yiwen.

Zhong Yiwen didn't expect that one day he would be so popular because of his good looks, and he didn't argue with Li Zheng and the others right now: "Uncle Li Zheng, elders, I can assure you that there is absolutely nothing wrong with Mr. He It is more than enough to teach a few boys. Mr. He is much better than me, and I have to learn from him now. In addition, I have to prepare for tomorrow's scientific examination, so I really don't have the energy to teach others. "

Li Zheng saw that Zhong Yiwen had said that, and they couldn't force it anymore, but their doubts about He Jianghai did not diminish.They hoped to find a new master instead of using He Jianghai directly.

"How about this, Uncle Lizheng, let Mr. He teach for a few days first, and you guys take turns to supervise and check the situation. If it really doesn't work, replace him." Zhong Yiwen even proposed the idea of ​​trial teaching, " At that time, no matter how much money it costs, I will definitely help you hire another master back!"

When Zhong Yiwen made such a promise, Li Zheng and the others immediately had nothing to say, and immediately agreed.

For the children's school, a single room next to the Zhong family's ancestral hall was requisitioned for the time being. The tables and stools inside were all made overnight by the carpenters in Lizheng's village, and they were very neat.As for the pens, inks, papers and books that the children will use, Akui personally went to the town to help buy them.The money was all contributed by Zhong Yiwen, and the children only needed to spend a little to repair it.Regardless of whether Shu Xiu is mentioned, it is purely for the sake of the master.In this era, there is no such thing as teaching students in vain. Respecting teachers and teaching is no less important than filial piety.

The class started on the first day, and people from the entire Zhongjia Village came to watch the excitement.

He Jianghai was wearing the plain gown specially made by Zhong Yiwen for Mammy Xi, standing at the entrance of the school, waiting for the boys to come over, he looked like a human being.

Zhong Yiwen was the first to come over, leading the two boys in the family, Xiaochen and Xiaosheng.

The older Xiaosheng stepped forward first, and bowed respectfully: "Student He Yansheng, I have met my master."

After these days, Xiaosheng still half-heartedly recognized He Jianghai as his father, and now he officially has the name He Yansheng, which can be regarded as giving He Jianghai a little bit of momentum.

He Jianghai, who looked like a child at home, was very serious outside, and nodded directly: "Well, let's go in!"

After Xiaosheng entered the school, Xiaochen stepped forward to salute: "Student, Zhong Qingchen, I have met you, Master."

Strictly speaking, neither Xiaosheng nor Xiaochen can enter the school, one is a servant, and the other is less than three years old.But it can't be helped that the two have backgrounds. Xiaosheng is directly the son of the master, and Xiaochen is even more powerful. This academy is sponsored by his family.In such a situation, who would dare to have an opinion.In fact, no one in the entire Zhongjia Village may know this truth.

As soon as Xiao Chen went in, Li Zheng led his family's Xiao Bao over.Little Treasure didn't have a name at first, for this reason, Akui specially brought some things to Zhong Yiwen's house, and asked them to help him choose a famous name.Zhong Yiwen left this opportunity to He Jianghai, this is also an opportunity for He Jianghai to communicate more with the people in the village, isn't it?He Jianghai thought carefully for a while, and directly called out the word "Zhong Baoyu", which immediately made Zhong Yiwen, who was drinking tea, spit it out.

"Student Zhong Baoyu, I've met my master." Xiaobao was quite poised, and there were no mistakes in posture and etiquette. It is estimated that the family members taught him a lot.

When Zhong Yiwen heard Xiaobao mention his name, he felt a little internally hurt.Should he tell the story of the Red Mansion so that everyone can get acquainted with that young master?

The children who were sent later were all older.After all, He Jianghai had informed him that he would only accept boys aged six to ten, and the younger brother would not be accepted for the time being.In addition, he will not teach children over ten years old if they are not prepared for the scientific examination.Of course, if he was preparing for the scientific examination, then Shu Xiu would not have this amount.What if people study for several years or even ten years, this is also to not waste Zhong Yiwen's money.

This time, there are a total of eleven boys enrolled, plus Xiaosheng and Xiaochen who are not counted in the quota, adding up to thirteen students.There were a total of twenty tables and stools in the school, and after the boys sat in, there were still several empty seats behind.

After He Jianghai and everyone else were ready, they began to teach. In this era, the enlightenment teaching initially taught the basic Three-Character Classic and Thousand-Character Classics, but there were no hundreds of surnames.He Jianghai was no exception. He first taught the Three Character Classic. He read a sentence, and the boys below followed him.This has become almost the same as group teaching.

He Jianghai didn't chase people away, nor did he get angry, he just pretended that there were no outsiders, and only cared about teaching the boys in the classroom.This made the people outside more and more interested in learning, and they didn't feel tired standing there, and they refused to leave.

Zhong Yiwen lost interest after watching it for a while. He had already agreed with He Jianghai to bring the two boys back with him after school, so he might as well leave there and let others watch.

What Zhong Yiwen didn't know was that as soon as he walked for a while, someone from the other side came to Lizheng's place and suggested some empty tables and stools in the back.These people basically have children in their families, but they are over ten years old. They only regret that their children were born a few years earlier and did not have such a good opportunity.Now that there is a seat available, I want to fight for the kid at home.There were also one or two whose children were under six years old. Seeing that Xiaosheng and Xiaochen were actually inside, they wanted to walk through the back door and send their own children in as well.

Li Zheng didn't agree, but he didn't refuse immediately, instead, he went to Zhong's house to ask Zhong Yiwen's opinion.

Zhong Yiwen saw that the school was not full this morning and the people outside were eager to learn, so he already guessed that such a thing would happen.However, he is not He Jianghai after all, and he cannot help He Jianghai make a direct decision, after all, the rules are there.

"Uncle Lizheng, you should directly ask Mr. He about this matter. Is he the teacher in the school?" Zhong Yiwen directly dismissed it completely.

Li Zheng was a little embarrassed: "No, we all feel that Mr. He is not easy to talk to. People in the village are thin-skinned, and they are afraid of being rejected by Mr. He. Although these boys are older, they know that the opportunity to study is hard to come by. , I will definitely work harder, no. Speaking of it, we elders are incapable and incompetent, otherwise, how could the boys in the village have no books to study. If you don’t contribute money and effort this time, our village really doesn’t know when Can we produce a scholar?"

Zhong Yiwen also knew that Uncle Lizheng was telling the truth, it was really not easy for peasants to have the opportunity to study.

Zhong Yiwen was already a little moved, but he still didn't respond directly, but proposed: "Uncle Lizheng, I know how you feel, but I really can't directly decide this matter. In this way, when Mr. He comes back at noon , I’ll ask his opinion first, and I’ll tell you the result in the afternoon, how about it?”

"Okay, okay. Mr. Xiucai, as long as you are willing to help." Lizheng also knew that their request was a bit difficult.A master also has a master's temper. I heard that in some places, masters are strict and rigid, and they say what they say. This Mr. He really doesn't know what kind of temper he has.

Zhong Yiwen sent his master away, and went back to his study to continue studying.Recently, with the help of He Jianghai, Zhong Yiwen's arithmetic has improved by leaps and bounds after slowly getting started.Now even without He Jianghai around, Zhong Yiwen can teach himself a lot.If you have any doubts, stay here and ask He Jianghai after he returns.As a matter of fact, as long as Zhong Yiwen can understand these calculations, there is basically no problem in answering them.Now that he is learning arithmetic, the most important thing is to memorize words and remember what those words mean.Being able to understand the questions and answer them in ancient Chinese is Zhong Yiwen's goal.

When He Jianghai taught Zhong Yiwen arithmetic for the first time, he bluntly told Zhong Yiwen to give up next year's scientific examination and forget it. With his current arithmetic level, it would be strange if he could pass the examination.However, after only half a day of teaching, He Jianghai was a little dumbfounded, not because Zhong Yi was not good at literature, but because he learned too well and too quickly.What others might not be able to learn in ten days and half a month, Zhong Yiwen learned in less than half a day. This speed is too exaggerated.The way He Jianghai looked at Zhong Yiwen at the end was not quite right.

In addition, He Jianghai also discovered that Zhong Yiwen had a habit of drawing a bunch of patterns that he couldn't understand next to math problems.Zhong Yiwen said that it was his way of solving problems. He Jianghai really didn't see what this way of thinking was, but the speed at which Zhong Yiwen learned arithmetic was truly astonishing.

Now Zhong Yiwen has learned the basics of arithmetic.He Jianghai said that if Zhong Yiwen went to take the exam for scholar now, even if he chose mathematics, it would definitely be fine, and it would be a kind of affirmation of Zhong Yiwen.
