() When Zhong Jinwei thought of this, he stopped thinking about it for the time being and turned his mind back to the matter at hand.
After thinking for a while, Zhong Jinwei said to Haining: "You still have to give red envelopes for the New Year. It's rare to celebrate the New Year together, so you always have to do it with intention. If the money is gone, I will find a way to earn it, so don't worry."
When Yu Haining saw Zhong Jinwei's instructions, he felt quite happy and thanked the young master first.
Zhong Jinwei saw that Yu Haining had not left after thanking him, and asked, "Uncle Yu, is there anything else?"
"Well, Young Master, we are going to worship our ancestors later. I wonder if the Young Master's ancestral tablet has been prepared?" Yu Haining was a little embarrassed to talk about this, but he really didn't know the Young Master's identity, so he had to ask.
When Zhong Jinwei heard this, he was stunned. Well, my parents are still alive and well four hundred years later. Even my deceased grandfather, they are not born now. It would not be good to use it to worship, but
I can't tell the truth to Yu Haining.
Finally, after thinking for a long time, I really couldn't think of what to say, so I had to make up: "Uncle Yu, I am an overseas survivor of the Southern Song Dynasty. I was an orphan since I was a child. I don't know my ancestral parents. What should I do?" After finishing speaking, I secretly said to myself
My parents four hundred years later say sorry.
"Well, let's just worship the gods of heaven and earth today. The family tree of the Zhong family will start with the Young Master. Does the Young Master think it's appropriate?" Yu Haining thought for a moment and asked.
"Okay, let's do it this way." Zhong Jinwei nodded.
After Yu Haining asked for instructions, he went to prepare relevant matters. There was no need for Zhong Jinwei to worry about it. The servants were all doing things in an orderly manner under Yu Haining's arrangement and command.
Zhong Jinwei was so bored that he took six Dongchang servants with swords and played with several children of his servants in the yard. Playing with children brings happiness to the heart. There is no calculation, only innocence.
Li Laosi was quite efficient. He quickly found a wooden board, and it was a smooth board, but he couldn't find a small wooden board.
Zhong Jinwei didn't care and began to instruct them to grind ink and add water to make a blackboard. After one side of the board was black, he put it aside to dry.
After noon, Zhong Jinwei called several older people in the house over and sat down together to crack melon seeds and chat. In fact, they were not too old. They were all in their forties or fifties and could survive in the refugee camp.
His physical fitness is still good. Through chatting with these old people, Zhong Jinwei learned some details of life.
Li Laosi and the others also had some free time and began to compete with each other in the yard.
In the evening, when it was almost time to start offering sacrifices to heaven and earth, Yu Haining came over and reported to Zhong Jin Weihui: "Sir, does the chalk you want look like this?"
After saying that, he handed over a piece of white chalk in his hand.
When Zhong Jinwei heard this, he threw away the melon seeds in his hand, took the chalk and started reading.
It was a bit rough, a little wet, and not completely dry. Zhong Jinwei became interested and wanted to write something, so he ran to the blackboard to take a look. The blackboard was dry. I wrote a few times with chalk, but I felt that it was not as useful as the later ones, but
It's okay to make do with it.
So, Li Laosi, who had followed him to watch, asked someone to carry the blackboard to the front of the hall and raise it to a comfortable height for writing. Then he asked Yu Haining to call everyone over and prepare to demonstrate and start the class.
Everyone was full of curiosity about the teachings Zhong Jinwei said, so they put down what they were doing and gathered in the courtyard.
Six of Dongchang's subordinates also flashed at both ends of the blackboard to see what Mr. Zhongxing was up to.
When Zhong Jinwei saw that everyone had arrived, he said to everyone in the courtyard: "I will probably be called to work by the emperor early tomorrow morning, so I won't have time to teach you. Here I will first demonstrate how to use blackboard chalk to teach. Watch it.
."
A group of people in the yard, including children, were watching Uncle Zhong Xing's movements carefully, fearing that they might miss something.
Zhong Jinwei wrote the word "一" on the blackboard, then turned around and said to the bottom: "This is the word "一", written with white chalk on the blackboard, everyone can see it clearly. I am alone, how do I treat a student like this?
Teach me the same way to a group of you, there is no difference. This saves paper, pen and ink, and saliva."
Zhong Jinwei turned around and erased the word "一" with his hand, stepped back to let them see clearly, and then wrote the word "一" again.
After finishing writing, Zhong Jinwei asked Yu Haining: "Uncle Yu, teaching this way should save time and effort. Do you still have concerns?"
Yu Haining shook his head and said: "Young Master is really smart. He can think of all these ways. The old man has nothing to worry about."
"Okay, then you will teach them some words every day. Eventually, they will be able to read and write." Zhong Jinwei ordered.
"Yes, sir."
With the blackboard, chalk, and a large group of people underneath, Zhong Jinwei had the urge to show off, and suddenly remembered something. I wonder if there is anyone below who would be fooled, so I would like to try an experiment.
So, he said to the people below: "Now I will teach you numbers first. You see, the words on this blackboard are one word. Do you all know them?"
Everyone below nodded. It was easy to remember. It was just one horizontal stroke and everyone could remember it.
Zhong Jinwei saw that there was no fool under him, so he turned around and drew another horizontal line: "This is the word "two", do you remember it?"
This is easy, everyone has memorized it.
Li Laosi even thought, I am a thick old man, but I didn’t expect to know two words now. It seems that it is not difficult.
Zhong Jinwei turned back and drew another horizontal line on the blackboard, and then said: "This is three characters, do you remember it?"
It's so simple, I know it all. Li Laosi couldn't help but said: "This number is too simple. You don't need to teach me, I know it." There was still a trace of impulse in his face.
Although Li Laosi's voice was not very loud, Zhong Jinwei was listening to what was going on underneath and immediately caught Li Laosi's words, so he shouted to Li Laosi: "You, Li Laosi, come up."
When Li Laosi saw that the young master asked him to go up, he figured that it would not be difficult to test his own numbers. Li Laosi was full of confidence and walked up swaggeringly. Several young people below started to tease Li Laosi.
Li Laosi didn't care, walked up, bowed to Zhong Jinwei, and then said: "What are your orders, Master?"
"What I heard just now is that you know numbers, right?" Zhong Jinwei had a strange look on his face.
"Yes, I can master everything you taught me," Li Laosi replied confidently.
"But I just taught you from one to three. Can you also learn the numbers after that?"
"I think I know how to do it." Li Laosi was a little more humble. His mother had taught him to be humble before when she was still alive.
"Okay, you write the numbers from one to one hundred." After Zhong Jinwei finished speaking, he handed the chalk to Li Laosi and erased his own writing.
Li Laosi took the chalk and scratched his head with his other hand. He saw that the group of people below were paying attention to him, especially the beautiful maid who was also looking at him with a pair of phoenix eyes. He suddenly felt excited and was ready to perform well.
Down.
So Li Laosi began to imitate Zhong Jinwei's posture, holding the chalk and started writing.
Without thinking, the chalk was broken just after I wrote the word "一". I scratched my head, picked up the fallen chalk, and explained to Zhong Jinwei: "Sir, this chalk is too brittle, and it will break if you use a little force."
"
The people below saw that the young master was easy to talk to, and they all started to cheer Mr. Li up. The old man shook his head, and the women covered their mouths and laughed.
Zhong Jinwei smiled, said he didn't care, and asked Li Laosi to continue.
Li Laosi turned around and was about to continue. When Zhong Jinwei couldn't see him, he turned sideways and glared at the people who were making the most noise. He then glanced at Li Simin who was also looking at him with a smile. He immediately
Then I turned around and wrote seriously, preparing to express myself.
As expected, the chalk did not break this time, and he started writing on the blackboard, one, two, three,..., Zhong Jinwei took a look at the side, and sure enough, this Li Laosi was tricked. There really are such people, Qiang.
Holding back laughter, I watched Li Laosi perform.
Those few officers had already hidden away and laughed, there are such stupid people in the world.
Yu Haining's grandson saw that something was wrong, and he really wanted to speak out, but his mother stopped him. He didn't know what the young master meant, but he couldn't ruin his good deeds, so he just watched Li Laosi's performance below.
Slowly, slowly, Li Laosi filled the blackboard with his writing. When he saw that there was no place to start, he turned sideways and said to Zhong Jinwei: "Sir, there is no place to write."
Zhong Jinwei could no longer bear it, but he immediately realized that he was the head of the family and should be more solemn, so he suppressed a smile and said, "Are you sure you wrote it correctly?"
