Chapter 39
Mrs. Liang was not a slave of the Jiang family, but she was born in a wealthy family in her early years. After she married, her natal family died in a war disaster, and her husband's family fell into ruin. Then she sold herself as a slave and joined the Jiang family.

Later, Liu Niangzi was born and needed a wet nurse.

A wet nurse is equivalent to a half-mother, and she spends a long time with the little girl, which is definitely not for the rough and uneducated.

Picking and picking, just like that, Mrs. Liang came to Jiang Fosang's side.

Mrs. Liang is not proficient in poetry and economics, she only learned a few words from her father, even so, it is very rare, not to mention she is a woman.

When Jiang Fosang was first enlightened, her favorite thing to do every day was to teach the little girl to read, but she didn't teach her three sons a single word.

"Why is this so?"

Faced with the female gentleman's question, Liangyu was silent for a long time, and said sadly: "It is not necessarily bad to be illiterate. If you can read and understand, you will not be content with the status quo..."

But what if he is already a slave and is not satisfied with the status quo?
Reading makes people wise. If wisdom brings only pain, it is better to spend a lifetime in obscurity, and there is always some happiness in the world.

Jiang Fosang understood her unfinished words.

From being a good householder to being a slave, she must have gone through a long struggle in her heart before finally accepting her fate.

She didn't want the younger generation to be sober and miserable like herself, so she would rather let them sink in ignorance.Isn't there a saying that literacy in life begins with hardship?
It's not her fault—

From the previous dynasty, or earlier, being a slave for a day is almost equivalent to being a slave for generations.

I have seen people who donate slaves, give slaves, transfer slaves, and sell slaves, but there are almost no cases of slaves being released.

Because once the mouth is opened, people's minds will change. What if those slaves refuse to be slaves in peace?
And without slaves, without ranks, how did the gentry become the gentry?

Fanyuejia will not dig its own foundation.

So when Jiang Fosang let Jiao Xing go, Liangyu said: "This is against the rules."

She may not be jealous, nor may she not desire, but out of a slave's obligation, even if it violates her own heart, she must fulfill her duty of reminder.

A living person, words and deeds will never match, and will always be contrary to nature, how can it be painless?

Jiang Fusang grabbed her hand and shook it lightly: "Liang Daliang and Liang Shuo have both been exempted from slavery, and Liang Shuo will be the same in the future. They don't need to be content with the status quo anymore. They have a part in the high and the high, and there is also a woman." Why worry?"

The good girl seemed to be crying and laughing, and kept nodding her head: "What the lady said is true, what the lady said is very true... I'm just, just worried..."

"I understand." Jiang Fosang chuckled, "I know what I think in my heart, and I will not do things that are not good for me. It's just that no one can live above ten thousand people forever. The people below want to go up , If there is no way out for a long time, the only way to overthrow the people above is to be in danger. There is no king for thousands of years, and there will be no slaves for thousands of years. "

Liangyu didn't quite understand the meaning behind the female gentleman, but the feeling of relief covered up her doubts.

"It's their blessing to meet a master like a female gentleman. It's just that they have already passed the age of enlightenment, especially Liang Shuo, who is a stubborn one. I'm afraid that the female ruler has worked hard and ended up playing the piano with a cow."

Jiang Fosang asked instead: "The sage said that there is no distinction between teaching and learning. What is the explanation for this statement?"

Aunt Liang's literacy started from "The Analects of Confucius", so of course this is not a problem for her.

"Anyone can be educated, and some people cannot be excluded because of high or low, rich or poor, virtuous or foolish, good or evil..."

Aunt Liang stopped talking, looked at the smiling girl, and said helplessly, "Since the lady is willing to teach, then teach. If you are bored on the way, it's good to pass the time, but don't tire yourself."
-
It was indeed a whim at first, but since it started, it must be the best.

Jiang Fosang asked his servants to find a volume of Analects from the wooden box full of books, and read the already familiar content again under the lamp.

The next day, Calamus and the others had finished their duties and hurried to the royal room.

Jiang Fosang has been waiting here for a long time.

As time goes by, the eyes of the pair of knowledge-seeking eyes turn from excited to dazed, puzzled, and incomprehensible...

It turns out that literacy and listening to stories are actually different-one is colorful, and the other is foggy.

Youcao even thinks that this is the hardest job, she would rather go to the office to do hard work.

But since he agreed to the female monarch, he had to bite the bullet and go down...

Liang Shuo also struggled to watch.

Jiang Fosang reflected on it afterwards, and felt that he had taken it for granted.

Not only teaching reading and writing, but also teaching principles, the two are synchronized, and the result is that the same cannot be digested.

Simply recognize all the characters first, and then map the others.

But... She glanced at the annotated Analects of Confucius in her hand.

In fact, this is not suitable as an enlightenment reading.Mao's poems are similar, and "Zuo Zhuan" and the like are even more inappropriate.

Jiang Fusang suddenly remembered the three-character scripture that his husband taught the beggar to read when he was bored——

"In the beginning of human beings, their natures are inherently good. Their natures are similar, their habits are far apart..."

"The three talents, the heaven, the earth and the people. The three lights, the sun, the moon and the stars..."

"Learn when you are young, and walk when you are strong. From the top to the king, from the bottom to the people..."

"Diligence pays off, play is useless. Be warned, you should work hard..."

She can't remember the second half clearly, and most of the dynasties involved are not correct, so it needs to be revised and supplemented.

This evening, Jiang Fosang was preparing for class very late.

But the hard work is worth it.According to the teaching of the new book, supplemented by the method of explaining the characters and pictographic literacy, Calamus and the others are really much more relaxed and learn quickly.

The story didn't stop while being literate, and it was fun to teach. The interest of everyone in learning not only didn't decrease, but became stronger.
-
Uncle Shao called to Nan Quan who was about to run away again: "Young madam teaches the maid to read, why are you joining in the fun?"

Nan Quan chuckled: "Young Madam's lectures are very fresh, I love to listen to them, after listening to them, I will talk about them to the young master."

Uncle Shao raised his beard: "Young Madam and Seventh Young Master will spend more time together than you in the future, so you need to be courteous."

"That's different!" Nan Quan said confidently, "When we arrive in Beidi, the young master will not be able to see the young lady right away, so there will be room for me to use my skills."

Uncle Shao couldn't help him, he waved his hand: "Go, go, tell Liang Mi by the way, the boat will be docked, let them make arrangements early."

Nan Quan answered loudly, and Sa Yazi ran away.

Uncle Shao shook his head: "This Nan Quan, he followed the seventh son, but he didn't learn the slightest bit of prudence."

Sigh to sigh, Uncle Shao knew it in his heart, and it was no wonder that Nan Quan was like this, it was really their young lady... How should I put it, apart from her appearance, even her behavior was unexpected.

Recently, the servants on the boat like to go to the top floor when they have nothing to do.Some watch the excitement, some listen to stories, and some sincerely seek knowledge.

Shao Bo originally thought that the young lady was just trying to kill boredom and have fun, so he went to the top floor to listen to it, only to find out that it was not.

The servants knelt and sat in a room, completely silent.

The young lady sat on the head, and there was a wooden board standing behind it, with big ink characters pasted on it, and there were some scattered strokes around the ink characters.

Whenever the explanation is finished, the maid will change the next one in due course.

The young lady is neither sick nor slow, and she has something to say, without losing her wit.Although people hold their breath and concentrate, they are very serious, and occasionally they will be amused and laugh out loud.

Not only Nan Quan, but the entire Hu family's wedding reception team, including Shao Bo himself, liked or admired this young lady from the bottom of their hearts.

The seventh son is blessed.

I just don't know how long this blessing will last...

With his hands behind his back, Shao Bo let out a long sigh towards the evening sun outside the porthole.
