Chapter 33 A good book of enlightenment was discovered
As they walked back, they met many children watching the fun, shouting "Master Lin, Master Lin".
Xiao Chong was in a good mood and asked casually: "Is Aunt Lin still a wife?"
Lin Wanwan replied: "Yes, after I came down from the mountain, I settled in the clan. What I have learned must be put to some use, so I will set up a clan school here to teach the children of the family to read a few words and know some etiquette."
"You're thoughtful." Xiao Chong praised lightly.
Shuqi secretly complained in his heart that it was okay to be literate, but not necessarily polite. Mrs. Lin kept calling Mr. Lang a "sir" all the way, which really made her laugh to death.
In the Tang Dynasty, one could only call one's father "sir", and those who were officials usually used their surname and position. Lin Wanwan was poisoned by later generations of costume dramas, and she didn't even know she was making a joke.
Xiao Chong had already noticed the tall wall on the east side of the village. He raised his chin slightly and said, "Is that where the clan school is?"
"Yes, right there."
At this time, Xiao Qingyu woke up, her little head obediently rested on Lin Wanwan's shoulder, and she looked curiously at the beautiful young man next to her.
Xiao Chong smiled faintly at the little guy. Unexpectedly, the little guy was not tempted by the beauty and turned his head directly, leaving Xiao Chong with a round back.
This was the first time Xiao Chong encountered such a cold reception, and he couldn't help but touch his nose in embarrassment.
Stepping up the steps and crossing the threshold, everything in the courtyard came into view. Shuqi once again marveled: "This school is actually inlaid with colored glaze! And the color is so transparent! God, how much does it cost?"
Patriarch Lin and Yourong Yan, this is their school in Lin Family Village.
There was glass in the Tang Dynasty, but it was not called glass but Liuli. It was not until the Jin and Yuan Dynasties that the name was changed to glass.
Sometimes Lin Wanwan pays attention to the title, and sometimes she directly calls her Glass. Therefore, this group of mud-legged fishermen in Linjiazhuang, who saw glass for the first time, naturally also called Glass.
The Xiao family's followers were obviously more knowledgeable than anyone else in the Lin family village, and they called out Liuli at the first sight.
But this is not surprising, after all, the ancestors of the Xiao family produced emperors and princes. Such a powerful family member has a profound background, and of course his personal followers also have some skills.
The window glass chosen by Lin Wanwan is not purely transparent, but has a bit of blue light. The outside of the room can be seen clearly, and the outside looks like looking into a mirror. The stronger the light, the more obvious it is.
People in the clan now like to come to the school to get free mirrors, because bronze mirrors are very expensive and few women in the clan can own them.
Shuqi was shocked by the glass on the school window pane, but he put away his contempt for Lin Wanwan. This person must also be a powerful queen, living here in seclusion, otherwise how could he buy such things.
Xiao Chong, on the other hand, didn't pay much attention to these external things and didn't even look at the glass.
But when he turned over the Three-Character Sutra placed on the children's table, he couldn't help but be moved, and couldn't help but read out softly: "In the beginning, human beings are inherently good by nature, similar in nature, and far apart in habits... What an enlightening book!"
After Xiao Chong read it briefly, he sighed: "Mrs. Lin, I wonder who wrote this book?"
Lin Wanwan was particularly uncomfortable hearing people call her Aunt Lin. She endured it several times and finally said: "Master Xiao, you can call me Wan Niang, or Mrs. Lin. My clan members all call me that."
Xiao Chong: "...Okay."
Lin Wanwan added: "This book, like the Thousand Character Essay, was taught to me by my master in the past. I don't know who wrote it. I didn't ask."
Xiao Chong said: "This book is very good. It integrates various parts of the classics and history. It covers astronomy, geography, ancient sages, literature, history and philosophy. It is arranged in an easy-to-understand language. It is catchy and easy to remember. It is very suitable for enlightenment.
Now, we should promote it. I wonder what kind of book a thousand-character essay is?"
Lin Wanwan handed the thousand-character essay to Xiao Chong to read, and the latter sighed after reading it.
"I wonder if Mrs. Lin is willing to publish it?"
Lin Wanwan smiled and said: "I am willing! But I don't know who to find to publish it, so please help me."
Xiao Chong touched his nose and said: "The Xiao family does have a bookstore. I will send someone to inform the shopkeeper and ask him to discuss the follow-up with you. This time Master Lin has both high-yielding grain seeds and good books for enlightenment. I will definitely
I will express my merits to the court for you."
Lin Wanwan was waiting for this sentence, which was equivalent to the official seal of the Tang Dynasty, so she said happily: "Thank you, Mr. Xiao!"
Xiao Chong smiled solemnly: "Master Lin, don't you mind if you record the two enlightenment books in advance?"
Lin Wanwan waved her hand grandly: "Feel free to copy it! I'll give you these two copies."
As he spoke, he took out two books from his desk and handed them to Xiao Chong. The latter said calmly: "No need, books are precious, leave them to the children. I have already written them down."
You have a photographic memory, man! You are indeed a descendant of Xiao Tong!
"...Okay." Lin Wanwan looked calm on the outside, but was shocked inside.
The most helpless thing for her when she was studying was to meet top academics and compete for scholarships. Some people are more talented than you and work as hard as you. Do you think it's tiring to compete with them?
As the sun set, Kunlun drove Xiao Chong and his entourage Shuqi back to the county government in a carriage.
Although Xiao Chong declined and said he could walk back, Lin Wanwan insisted that this was a great opportunity to build a good relationship with the county magistrate, how could she give up!
That night, Lin Wanwan went back to modern times, firstly to collect the custom-made ancient Hanfu school uniforms made of cotton and linen materials, and secondly to send the overseas goods collected these days to Xie Yuting. The other party was a famous chef, knowledgeable and generous, Lin Wanwan and
He has established a stable cooperation.
Nowadays, Lin Wanwan is the first to choose the catches brought by the clan. The price given by Lin Wanwan is fair, and it will not deceive people like the restaurant vendors outside, and it does not require the clan to waste time and effort to go out to deliver it, so it is naturally the best choice.
In addition to these two things, she also responded to some unanswered WeChat messages to prove that she was still alive and well.
"We have to think of a way to find some kind of freelance job as a shield in modern times." After delivering the overseas goods, Lin Wanwan took a taxi back to the villa, unpacked the express box and threw it away, then sat in front of the computer and started checking Xiao Chong's information.
There was indeed one historical celebrity, but it was not the one she knew. She also searched for Xiao Tong's descendants, but found no trace of him.
"Hey, has such a powerful person not been named in history?" Lin Wanwan sent Lu Shouyue a WeChat message, asking him to help check the person.
Lu Shouyue is an expert in archaeology and history. He must have more detailed information on the descendants of the Xiao family. Really good information has a certain threshold and is kept in the reading libraries of various universities.
When Lu Shouyue saw the message and called back, the other party was no longer in the service area. He put down the phone, pondered for a moment, and chuckled: "Interesting."
Today, she met the first official who came to the Tang Dynasty, and she was a queen from a famous family. Lin Wanwan was quite excited, as if she had witnessed history - this queen from a famous family was handsome and outstanding, which was one of the reasons.
