See you in the world

Chapter 65: Willows and Flowers Bright?

I don't know if I don't inquire, but after inquiring, Yunlin realized how harsh it is for a mud-legged person like himself to want to study.

These three conditions have almost blocked the way for ninety-nine percent of ordinary people in the world to study!

The bewildered Yunlin remained silent, and he suddenly thought of something in a state of confusion, looked at Zhang Changgui and said, "No, if reading is so difficult, even though I don't know much, I also know that there are still many people who can read. of"

"Literacy does not mean reading, Uncle Lin," Zhang Changgui said dumbly.

Yunlin didn't understand, and asked, "How do you say it?"

"How should I put it, um, let's put it this way, for example, Uncle Lin, you can read and teach your children at home, and the children will learn to read after following you. Otherwise, you can hire someone who can read to teach your children to read. That's probably how the literate people you mentioned came from," Zhang Changgui tried his best to explain while scratching his head.

Yunlin was confused, and asked blankly, "Is there any difference?"

"There's a big difference." Zhang Changgui stared and said, "That's just literacy. How can you say it's reading? Look at those people who are taught by their elders or have others to teach them. How dare they call themselves scholars?"

"Is there a difference?" Yun Lin repeated this sentence, he was really confused.

Isn't literacy the same as reading?Isn't reading just for literacy?

Zhang Changgui plucked his hair, and his knowledge is limited, how to explain this.

After thinking for a while, he suddenly wanted to understand the difference, and said: "Through reading through formal channels, you can get fame and become an official, and it is a way to really change your destiny. Pure literacy is just literacy. civilian"

Even though he said so, Yun Lin was still a little confused and looked at him blankly.

Seeing this, Zhang Changgui racked his brains and said patiently: "Uncle Lin, do you know about martial arts? It's that Jianghu sect."

"I know this. A few days ago, there were three children in our village who were taken away by that Fengdaomen to practice martial arts." Yun Lin nodded quickly.

Zhang Changgui hurriedly said: "Is there such a thing? Those three children are very lucky. If this is the case, I can explain it. Look, those three children have gone to... Fengdaomen? I remember correctly, right? They are in Fengdaomen, and they will have the opportunity to read and write in the future, but after they are literate, they cannot be called scholars. The imperial examination, that is to say, the government does not recognize them as scholars at all, which can be clearly distinguished from their titles.”

"Look, real scholars, when they communicate with others, they call themselves students or something, while those who are literate through other channels, most of them claim to be my, me, we, me, etc. Listening makes people feel that the conversation is good, and the latter makes people feel vulgar, this is the difference, do you understand?"

Trying hard to summarize and analyze carefully, it took a while for Yunlin to seem to understand: "That is to say, 'scholars' can take part in the imperial examination to become officials, but those who can read are still civilians? It's not even obtained through the channels you mentioned. Can’t take part in the imperial examinations? Well, this kind of people are not recognized by scholars as scholars?”

Thanks to Yun Lin becoming the village head and having some training, he was able to sum up what he said, but the conclusion is still specious.

"That's the reason," Zhang Changgui clapped his hands and said, finally straightened out.

Yunlin scratched his head and said, "In other words, we common people still have hope of studying?"

"That's not reading, it's literacy. Reading is learning. Literacy is just for not being blind. But even simple literacy is not a simple thing, and the cost is still huge." Zhang Changgui nodded and corrected Yun by the way. Lin's wording.

Slightly relieved, Yunlin smiled and said, "I told you earlier, I just want my grandson to be able to read and write. I thought the widow died of her son, so I didn't point (the son) to look at it."

Dazed for a moment, Zhang Changgui couldn't help laughing. He had an oolong for a long time. What he said was not a concept at all. He shook his head and said, "I thought Uncle Lin wanted your grandson to study and pass the imperial examination to become an official."

"Being an official? Don't dare to think, don't dare to think about it," Yun Lin quickly shook his head.

As an official, he really dared not think about it, but what made him feel relieved was that his grandson didn't really have no chance to study, although his so-called reading concept was different from Zhang Changgui's so-called reading concept.

Then he asked: "Then how can I get my grandson to read...well, to read, yes, just to read"

"It's simple, just spend money to teach someone. How much you want to learn depends on how much you are willing to spend. Of course, it also depends on whether your grandson can learn it. Also, sir, you can only hire at most People who are literate cannot invite real scholars. It is embarrassing to say that this kind of people who are purely literate cannot take the imperial examinations themselves, and the students they teach cannot take the imperial examinations, but this kind of people are also literate. Those who feel superior to others, who do rough work and can’t put down their face, can’t get up and down, most of the days are unsatisfactory.” After the matter was settled, Zhang Changgui also became talkative, and began to talk about other experiences.

Nodding his head, Yunlin said, "Is that so?"

At this moment, he was thinking about where to ask someone to teach Yunjing. The premise is that he must have money. This is the most important thing. He has no idea how much it will cost, the more the better.

But this is not urgent, it is not a matter of a day or two.

After getting what he wanted to know, he chatted with Zhang Changgui for a while, Yunlin was about to leave, and then tried to find a way to realize Yunjing's dream of "reading".

He also just held the idea of ​​doing his best to obey the destiny, if in the end there was nothing he could do, then there was nothing he could do.

Reasonably speaking, the reason why Yunlin and the others find it difficult to 'study' and climb to the sky is because of their status and status. In fact, reading is not a problem at all in front of truly capable people .

But still the same sentence, if the mud legs want to stand up, it is a leap of class, it is to jump out of the shackles of fate, just like a fish jumping over a dragon's gate, it is not difficult.

At the time of parting, Yunlin was inexplicably reconciled, looked at Zhang Changgui and asked, "It's difficult for us common people, except for those three conditions, is it true that we can only read at most and can't read? Really read! "

Hearing this, Zhang Changgui raised his eyebrows subconsciously, and frowned after serious thinking: "You can't say that, there is no way out of heaven, there are no absolutes in the world, there is still a way for ordinary people to really study, but it is very difficult. It's hard"

"Can you tell me?" Yun Lin stopped and asked curiously, but he was really just purely curious.

He is very satisfied that his grandson has the opportunity to read and write, and he dare not ask for more.

Racking his brains, Zhang Changgui thought for a while and said: "As far as I know, there are only two ways for ordinary people to really study and take the imperial examination, but I know it. The first is to practice martial arts, to the point of being extremely powerful. Then join Gongmen to make meritorious service and climb up. When you reach a certain height, the problem of reading is easily solved, but it is difficult for ordinary people who simply want to practice martial arts. Climbing, I am afraid that this road will be wasted for the rest of my life, and I will not be able to achieve the purpose of studying in the imperial examination.”

"The second way is to worship a teacher, a real scholar as a teacher. If you can succeed in the apprenticeship, you will be a family. If you are a master, you can't make clear arrangements for your apprentices? You must know that a master is like a father. , is the inheritance of the mantle, is the real elder, although not blood relatives, but the relationship is more reliable than blood relatives, the law clearly stipulates that killing a teacher is a crime of treason! Leaving aside the law, as a rule, if a person If you betray your master and do something outrageous, you will be cast aside and accused by thousands of people."

"Speaking of which, the way of apprenticeship is the best shortcut for ordinary people who want to study. If they can succeed in apprenticeship, it is estimated that even the tuition fee can be saved, and the master will teach him wholeheartedly. After all, the true master-student relationship is destiny. They are all tied together, and it can even be said that the master's hopes for the future are all pinned on the apprentice, Uncle Lin, you may not understand that many times a master's expectations of the apprentice are more important than his own flesh and blood!"

Hearing the two methods he mentioned, Yunlin was stunned, and murmured: "Is there really a solution?"

He simply felt that it was not impossible for ordinary people to study, and he had no other ideas.

"That's right, there is no unparalleled road," Zhang Changgui smiled, then shook his head and sighed, "I don't know how difficult it is to go through martial arts and doctoral studies, but we civilians don't even think about it, and then this road of apprenticeship , It is indeed a shortcut, but why do people accept you as an apprentice? That is the bondage of fate. Who dares to easily tie their future with an irrelevant person? One is prosperous and the other is damaged. Take the school run by the government in the town. For Mr. Li, the head of the mountain, I don’t know how many people want to send their children to apprenticeship. , Mr. Li confiscated even one of his apprentices..."

As he was talking, Zhang Changgui's mind flashed, and he looked at Yunlin with a thoughtful expression.

"Go on, what's the matter?" Yun Lin listened excitedly, seeing him stop suddenly and subconsciously urged him, and then was baffled by Zhang Changgui's gaze.

Zhang Changgui's eyes gradually brightened, and his heart beat a little faster. He didn't continue to speak, but said a little excitedly: "Yes, Uncle Lin, you can take your grandson to Mr. Li for a try. If you can If you worship him as a teacher, it will not be a problem for your grandson to study!"

When Zhang Changgui made this proposal, it was not because Zhang Changgui was whimsical, but because he thought it was possible. A few years ago, Yun Jing was only two years old, and he had already acted so smart, especially the unique feeling that Yun Jing gave him back then. I still clearly remember that until now, no one else could give him that feeling. At this moment, he somehow felt that Yunjing's apprenticeship had a great chance of success, without any reason.

"Huh?" Yun Lin was once again taken aback by him.

My grandson apprentices?Why are you here?
Zhang Changgui became more eager, and said: "You can really try it. As far as I know, Mr. Li is still a very good person. He usually doesn't reject people who go to apprentice, and he will take a test. It's just that So far, no one has passed his exam. I met your grandson at the time. He was only two years old at the time, and he was already well-behaved and sensible. The so-called three-year-old looks old, he must be smarter now, right? I think if you take him to apprentice with Mr. Li, the chances are still great, you can definitely try it, you listen to me, anyway, it doesn’t cost money to try it.”

"Forehead……"

Yunlin was so confused that he was moved by what he said.

Simple literacy is certainly enough, but wouldn't it be better if one had the opportunity to actually study?

only……

is it possible?
