Wei Chen suddenly heard Wei Shuyi mention this and was a little surprised. He immediately realized that this was not Wei Shuyi's impromptu idea, but that she had already had this idea in her mind.
But before, Wei Shu was more interested in protecting Minglan and preventing Minglan from suffering in Qinyun Courtyard with him.
Now, I hope that Minglan will calm down when she comes to Shou'an Hall and learn some rules and etiquette from the old lady.
Parents love their children and have far-reaching plans.
In fact, Wei Chen can understand Wei Shuyi's worries about his daughter's future. After all, this is an ancient society that is extremely unfriendly to women.
Especially Minglan's identity is just a concubine.
If there was no variable like Wei Chen, Minglan and Wei Shuyi, mother and daughter, would still be trembling under Lin Sushuang's power. They would be cautious every day and not dare to stand out. How could they live such a comfortable life?
Now, Wei Chen and Wei Shuyi have provided Minglan with a comfortable growing environment, but women have to get married after all.
If Minglan is allowed to develop the temperament of a pampered young lady, who can guarantee that Minglan's future husband's family will pamper her like Wei Shuyi does when it comes time to talk about marriage?
By then, I am afraid that the hardships Minglan suffered as a girl will be doubled after she gets married.
Looking at Wei Shuyi whose eyes were full of worry, Wei Chen couldn't help but sigh.
Being a parent, especially a responsible parent, is really difficult. Even worrying about your children doesn’t feel like it’s enough.
Wei Chen asked: "I went to Shou'an Hall, but I can't be with my aunt all the time. Is my aunt willing to let it go?"
"If there's anything you can't bear to part with, it's not like we'll never see her again. After all, we're still in the same house. Just go and see her when you miss her."
Wei Shuyi said it lightly, but the reluctance could still be seen in his eyes. However, this reluctance was quickly replaced by a look of determination.
"Minglan has been spoiled by me these days. If she continues like this, I don't know what she will look like in the future. It would be better to ask her to go to the old lady and suffer some hardships."
Wei Chen heard Wei Shu's tone and knew that she was determined and would not waver easily.
However, thinking of the pitiful appearance of the little girl Minglan when she was separated from her mother, Wei Chen couldn't help but feel soft and tried to persuade Wei Shu:
"It will take some time for Sister Hua to marry to Bianjing. The old lady has not asked for anyone. Auntie, it is better not to act too hastily. It will not annoy the old lady, which is not good. It is better to wait for a while and explore the old lady.
Let’s talk about your tone.”
"Brother Chen makes sense."
Wei Shu hesitated for a moment and finally said: "Then wait until I give birth before talking to Minglan about this."
Wei Chen breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
Xiao Minglan, Xiao Minglan, don’t say that I won’t help you, cousin, cherish your last carefree days!
……
After discussing Minglan's education with Wei Shuyi, Wei Chen left Qinyun Court and went straight to Sheng Changbai's study.
As the eldest son of Sheng Hong, Sheng Changbai naturally had his own independent courtyard. When the gatekeeper saw that it was Wei Chen, he had no intention of stopping him. After the ceremony, he put Wei Chen into the courtyard.
Wei Chen walked into the study in a familiar manner and saw Sheng Changbai sitting in front of the eucalyptus, writing furiously, probably practicing Chinese prose.
Next to her, Sheng Changfeng was sitting at a low table, biting her pen and frowning, as if she was thinking hard.
Seeing Wei Chen coming, Sheng Changfeng looked happy, put down his pen and stood up to talk to Wei Chen, but Wei Chen waved his hand to let him continue answering the questions.
Sheng Changfeng's face fell, but he still sat down obediently and continued to answer the questions Wei Chen asked him.
Tie Jing means filling in the blanks, covering a few lines of the original text of the scripture, and asking the answerer to write it down silently.
Mo Yi is equivalent to a short answer question, which requires the respondent to give a simple explanation of the meaning of the scripture. In fact, there are ready-made answers, and you only need to memorize them.
These two are the basis for studying the classics. If you don't have Wei Chen's talent of photographic memory, you will need to grind it slowly with hard work.
Sheng Changfeng used to be obsessed with poetry and didn't study much in the classics. Now, under the influence of Wei Chen, he returned to the right path and picked up the classics to read again.
In response to Sheng Changfeng's weak foundation, Wei Chen asked him to complete fifty questions on scriptures and twenty questions on ink meanings every day to solidify his foundation.
How Shi Kai and Lin Yan taught Wei Chen back then, this is how Wei Chen teaches Sheng Changfeng now.
Although the two are similar in age, Wei Chen cannot scold and punish him like a strict teacher, but his requirements are the same.
Wei Chen walked up to Sheng Changfeng and looked down at his answer.
Fifty Taoist Scriptures answered forty-eight of them, forty-five of them were correct; twenty of Mo Yi only answered ten of them, and got five of them correct.
The results are not very good, nor are they too bad, but compared with the beginning, the progress is quite considerable, which proves that Sheng Changfeng still puts his heart into it.
If we keep going at this rate, we may not be able to pass the county examination in February next year, but we should be able to pass the government examination and be a child in the year after next. If we are lucky, it is not impossible to become a scholar.
After all, Sheng Changfeng inherited the family's excellent genes, and his talent in scientific examinations is not much worse than that of his second brother.
Wei Chen reminded Sheng Changfeng a few words and gave him today's homework. Then he sat on the other desk next to Sheng Changbai, picked up the book on the table and started reading.
In the book, it is exactly what Wei Chen pointed out to Sheng Changfeng.
In the past, when Wei Chen was studying scriptures by himself, he relied on his photographic memory and felt that he was quite proficient in the meaning of the scriptures. However, when he became a teacher, he realized that there were still many things that he did not understand thoroughly.<
/p>
Wei Chen taught Sheng Changfeng not to forcefully instill his own understanding into him, but to discuss with Sheng Changfeng on an equal footing, allowing him to distinguish who was right and who was wrong, and finally accept Wei Chen's point of view wholeheartedly.
As a result, every time Wei Chen teaches Sheng Changfeng knowledge, he will inevitably face many doubts and puzzles that arise during Sheng Changfeng's learning process.
Every time Sheng Changfeng asked back, it prompted Wei Chen to re-examine what he had learned in the past, and Wei Chen's knowledge unknowingly deepened.
When Wei Chen realized this, he taught Sheng Changfeng more attentively and enjoyed it.
Sheng Changbai turned his head and saw Wei Chen concentrating on reading. He smiled slightly, then looked away and continued writing the article he was halfway through.
In the study, Wei Chen, Sheng Changbai, and Sheng Changfeng each occupied a desk. It was so quiet that only the sound of turning books and rustling writing could be heard.
Most of the time, the three of them did their own thing without disturbing each other. Occasionally, when they encountered difficult problems, they would quietly ask for advice and discuss them.
This is the daily life of the three of them studying. Even though Wei Chen and Sheng Changbai are already students, they have not slacked off at all in their studies. They always supervise and encourage each other.
There are still three years left for the provincial examination, but the days before the provincial examination are not restful. After the New Year, it will be the annual examination in the government schools.
Although Wei Chen and Sheng Changbai bribed Lu Jiaoyu of the Fu School to avoid the daily quizzes in the Fu School and study at home, they cannot miss the annual annual examination.
The annual examination is hosted by the Tixue Dao Yamen, and the results determine the grade assessment of the students, and can even affect the number of places to participate in the provincial examination in the future, which is extremely important.
Therefore, when spring comes next year and the flowers bloom, both Wei Chen and Sheng Changbai will have to return to Jiangning to take the exam.
