These two words are so far out of reach for Jiang Susu!
She was born in a farm family. Later, her family suffered a disaster and she came here. She married Yunshan and took care of the housework and raised her children. It can be said that in her life experience of more than 20 years, almost no one she came into contact with was literate.
Now she suddenly heard her son say that he wanted to study. She was at a loss and didn't know how to answer the question.
That was too far away for her. With her life experience, she could never dream of studying.
Now, my son says he wants to study?
Not to mention that Jiang Susu was at a loss when she heard that Yun Jing was studying. Any other villager in Xiaoxi Village would have behaved similarly to her. Xiaoxi Village had never produced a scholar for generations, and the word "study" had nothing to do with them.
I won't think in that direction.
You are born in a farm family, learn to farm since childhood, work as a farmer when you grow up, and after you get married and have children, your children will also be farmers. Generation after generation, shouldn't this be the case?
Indeed, three children who changed their destiny were born in the village before, and they went to practice martial arts at the Wind Sword Sect.
But practicing martial arts is different from studying.
To put it bluntly, martial arts training is just about being good at one's skills, looking after people's homes and nursing homes, and traveling through the wind and rain in the world. It's not too far away from ordinary people's lives.
But studying is already a class issue, and your life will be completely changed. Once you succeed in learning and gain fame, even the lowest honor, you are no longer a citizen, but a scholar, a true scholar, and can be called a dynasty.
As a member of the bureaucracy, you can communicate directly with the government, you don’t have to pay taxes, you don’t have to do corvee work, it’s not expensive to be an official, you can even straighten your back, and the state also provides benefits...
Those who practice martial arts are not at the same level as those who study, let alone farmers.
You study to gain fame, and you can become an official when you reach a certain level. Once you become an official, even the lowest official, a person who practices martial arts is just that in the eyes of the official.
Captor Wang must be very skilled, but he is just a captor. To put it bluntly, he is an errand boy, a thug, and a knife in the hands of officials. He has to do all the dirty and tiring work.
He looks like a good man, but he still has to bend down and salute in front of the leader of Niujiao Town!
Although many things are not usually put on the table, the fact is that people who practice martial arts are vulgar and reckless in the eyes of scholars, and there is no way to compare with scholars.
Some people would say that you, scholars, look down on martial arts practitioners, so aren’t you afraid of martial arts practitioners going to your house in the middle of the night and cutting their heads off?
Haha, I’m overthinking it. Who said that scholars don’t practice martial arts? It can even be said that the more knowledgeable a scholar is, the better his martial arts will be. If he doesn’t have martial arts at his side, how can a scholar travel thousands of miles all over the world?
I really think that scholars are weak chickens.
Not to mention anything else, just take the military as an example. A person with high martial arts skills can at best be a fierce general who charges into battle, and the coach is definitely the kind who is good at both civil and military skills.
A true scholar is the kind of man who can bring peace and order to the world through writing and writing, and is a fierce man who can serve in the army and behead his enemies with a sword.
Don't underestimate the scholars here.
Of course, Jiang Susu didn't know about these situations, nor did Yunjing, nor did the vast majority of civilians.
The circle in which they live, the people they come into contact with, and their limited knowledge all limit people's vision and imagination.
Yunjing's desire to study was not a temporary idea, but he had had this idea for a long time. Once he came to this world, he could not live in the small world of Xiaoxi Village forever. He wanted to go to this world for a while.
Take a look and understand the world to make your trip here worthwhile.
Therefore, reading is undoubtedly the best way for him to understand the world. What is the difference between not knowing a word and being blind?
In the past, he was still young and his family was poor, so he was not in a hurry. Now that he is getting older and his family's life is getting better, he may still be stimulated by the change of fate of the three children in the village, so the question of studying is
Only then would he mention it.
Jiang Susu asked him what he wanted, and he blurted out the words he wanted to read without thinking about it.
"My son, do you want to study..." After being stunned for a while, Jiang Susu murmured. Her mind was still confused. The word "study" shocked her thinking and worldview to pieces.
She couldn't even connect the word reading with the fate of herself and her family.
To use the simplest logic, when Yun Lin and others faced the scholar, they didn't even have the courage to look him in the eye. On the contrary, they could muster up the courage to talk to him normally when facing Wang Baotou and others.
From here we can see the influence of scholars in this world. It is really a level beyond the reach of ordinary people. It takes great courage to even look up.
Yunjing, who was still a little sleepy at first, suddenly lost all sleepiness after noticing her mother's reaction.
After living in this world for so many years, he probably understood how his mother felt after hearing that he wanted to study, so he quickly smiled and said: "Mom, I just said it casually, don't take it seriously."
As he spoke, Yunjing felt a little helpless.
The life of this family is indeed getting better and better, they don't have to worry about food, and they can occasionally see meat and fish, but they are still far away from being able to support a scholar.
The so-called poor in literature and rich in martial arts also depends on the situation. If you want to practice martial arts to a certain extent, you do need huge financial support. But in fact, there is no threshold for practicing martial arts. If someone teaches you, everyone can practice it.
If you don't care about overdrafting your life and don't seek high achievements, in fact, the word "Fu Wu" is a joke.
On the other hand, reading is something that really costs money. It is simply unrealistic to use the word "poor" to describe reading.
If you don’t have ten taels of silver in a book, they won’t even let you read it, but pen, ink, paper and inkstone are free of charge? If you want to be knowledgeable, you have to ask others for advice, right? Are you embarrassed to be empty-handed? You can’t just sit around and communicate with classmates, right? Drink some.
Drinking arty wine for free?
There are so many places to study and spend money.
The so-called "poor essays" describe the children from poor families who want to change their destiny by studying. However, people from poor families are also "family". They are rich and powerful people who have fallen into poverty. However, even poor families who are poor are as skinny as camels.
How can Martha be compared to ordinary people?
For real farmers, who are still struggling with food and clothing, if they want to change their destiny through reading, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky!
Yunjing wants to study. In addition to wanting to understand the world more and more comprehensively, he also has some thoughts about changing his destiny. He even has the excuse of studying, so that he can use some of his past life experiences to come up with reasonable evidence.
Take Farmer's Manure as an example. If he has the reputation of being a scholar, he can openly say that he learned it from a book, and he won't have to spend so much energy slowly guiding his family.
But he knew that with his current family situation, it was simply unrealistic to support himself in education, and he had to find a way on his own.
It was precisely because he knew about his family situation that he immediately changed his mind to comfort Jiang Susu after he said he wanted to study.
After opening her mouth, Jiang Susu didn't say anything in the end. She just smiled and touched Yun Jing's head. She didn't know what she was thinking.
Judging from her look, Yunjing probably guessed that she probably really cared about her desire to study.
But where did my mother get her ‘courage’?
Isn't she thinking that even if she works harder and more tired, lives more frugally and tightens her belt, she also wants to find ways to fulfill her children's dream of studying?
Although it is unlikely, what if it happens?
Thinking of this, Yunjing guessed that it was really possible!
If the mother really has this idea, her own sin will be great...
