Chapter 83
Today is the first day for Zi Yan and his sister to teach in the clan school, but the men and women teach in different rooms. The older boys and younger children are taught separately and will not be mixed together.
I got up early and started morning class. The girl practiced the five animal show in the yard, which was to exercise her body.
When a boy wants to take the imperial examination, he must have a good body, otherwise he will die in the examination room. Therefore, morning class means boxing and training, and he also has to memorize the book while not memorizing it. If he can't memorize it, he will be beaten.
It can be seen that the Song family is very strict and has rules everywhere. This is why my father hopes that they will return to their family for education. Under the influence of subtlety, they will become a person with rules, principles, decent, grand and dignified people.
Zi Lan has learned the Five Animal Play and fights well with her sisters. Song Shishi nodded and smiled at her, praising her for her good fight.
"Zi Lan, you memorize a thousand-character text."
Grandpa San specially ordered Zilan to recite it to see how her learning progress can keep up with the pace. If she can't keep up, she still needs to review it.
Zilan recited while boxing, and he memorized very fluently. Grandpa San specifically asked her to explain the meaning and continued to recite it. She recited it very well, without any hindrance.
"Have your father taught you, what have you learned?"
"I have learned the Book of Songs and Chu Ci, and I have also talked a little bit about the Records of the Grand Historian, and Zizhi Tongjian has also talked a little bit about it."
Song Zhengtian teaches classes more casually, and is easy to understand and very skillful. Sometimes when they see them tired, they will tell some short stories from the Records of the Grand Historian.
This will deepen the impression and quote the classics and analyze the Zizhi Tongjian again, so that they can understand it very deeply and thoroughly.
Grandpa San nodded with satisfaction, "Since I am learning with everyone, I am still worried that you can't keep up, so it seems that there is no need to worry."
After half an hour of morning class, the boy finished memorizing it. Several boys were beaten on the spot. Even boys, who were about the same size as Zilan, were beaten and tears fell down.
Zilan shivered in fear and secretly asked Song Shishi, "Three sisters, you're really trying to beat the board."
"We girls usually don't beat boards, but they will punish copying books and recite family rules. That one is also very scary. If you don't understand, just ask me. You must listen carefully in class and check it at any time."
"knew."
Zilan shrank his shoulders. The Song family is really strict. Even girls must abide by the rules.
Grandpa III first taught important knowledge such as Records of the Grand Historian. He was not very at ease to let the female master teach this, because he was afraid that it would be a bad thing if he didn't teach it.
The rest is taught by the female masters, and of course they will also teach them elegant skills such as playing the piano with girls and red. Girls not only learn knowledge, but also learn rules. The female masters' rules are also excellent, and it is more than enough to teach them a group of girls.
Those who can be female masters comb their hair by themselves. Not only are they good rules, but they also have good talents. They must be upright. Most of them comb their hair by themselves because of their own necessity. However, I am innocent and have the same family background, otherwise I will never be invited to the house.
After class, the third grandfather said to Zilan: "Just read the Book of Songs, Chu Ci, you can't learn too deeply. Girls should not be sad about spring and autumn. If they change their temperament, they will be no longer beautiful."
"Yes, my parents taught me the same way."
Zi Lan immediately stood up, bowed slightly and replied.
"Well, learn your skills well. Master is a talented person. You must not slackewer. I will conduct random checks after class."
Grandpa San got up and went to the yard to check whether the boys were distracted and played secretly in class. His role here was mainly to suppress these children.
The Master was invited by him outside. If these children are not convinced, they will make the Master embarrassed and need to come forward and beat him up.
The female master is very beautiful and looks very young and in her early twenties, but she is indeed an older girl here.
Generally, girls get married after they are fifteen or after they are born, and have children at the age of twenty, and they will be discussed if they don’t have children for three years.
The Master’s surname is Zhao, and his voice is gentle and soft. He stands there with a quiet and gentle temperament. He is also a beautiful woman with temperament.
"Today we will review yesterday's homework first. Do you still remember yesterday's piano score? Let's play it together. If Zilan doesn't know how to listen first."
Zi Lan and Song Shishi sat together, and made a special arrangement. She was afraid that she would not be able to keep up with her first time, so she would be with her familiar sisters to make questions, so she would not be nervous and make mistakes.
After glanced at Song Shishi's score, I immediately realized that I had learned this from the Master of Hou's Mansion. I smiled and nodded, and played the piano with both hands to prepare to play with everyone.
Zi Lan was very attentive and was afraid of making mistakes and didn't want to do it independently.
The Master came down and stayed in front of each girl for a while, then smiled and nodded, and finally stopped in front of Zi Lan with a satisfied smile on his face.
At the end of the song, Master Zhao smiled and said, "It's not bad, but someone has made two mistakes. I have to practice it when I go back. Today, my son Lan plays the best. There is no wrong sound, and his artistic conception is in place. It seems that he has learned well at home."
"Thank you, Master for your praise, my grandmother taught me."
Zi Lan smiled and explained that this was really not a lie, it was just the old lady who gave me advice. Don’t look at the old man, the princess’s talent is not old.
Every afternoon, I would teach them some things when I had nothing to do. Sometimes I was a housekeeper, and sometimes I had talents such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
"It turned out to be Professor Jingxian, which is of course excellent."
Master Zhao nodded in a clear way, and the old lady's title was Jingxian.
Several girls showed envious expressions in their eyes, and Zilan smiled and had no proud expression.
After taking an hour of class, the Master allowed everyone to take a break, drink some water and eat some snacks to put it in, and go around the yard.
Zi Lan also stretched in the yard.
Song Shishi, Song Hexiang, and Song Guifeng came here.
"Sister Zilan, I brought some snacks, do you want to eat?"
"Thank you, Sister Guifeng, I got up early and ate full, and I'm not hungry."
Zilan touched her belly and smiled sweetly.
"Why did you come back suddenly when you live in the Hou Mansion?"
Song Guifeng asked with a smile, two years older than her.
"My father said I was a child of the Song family and wanted to be educated by the Song family. My grandfather and grandmother were reluctant to part with me, so I asked me to go back and see their two elders often.
The martial arts master who taught my brothers was used by my grandfather for my brother, but my mother said she should not be exclusive, so she asked her to teach everyone, which would be more healthy."
Zi Lan thought about it in her heart before answering that there are so many people here, and if you say something wrong, you will be treated as a handle.
"So that's it. You may not recognize people when you first came. Not only our children are studying here, but also their children from other families are also studying here. However, the rules are the same, and you will be beaten if you make mistakes."
"Thank you sister for reminding me that I will try not to make mistakes. I am very well-behaved."
