His Royal Highness, he is plotting against me

Chapter 193 Immature Thoughts
Now that the sun is shining, the Chen Fulin brothers and sisters rejected the proposal of the old patriarch to invite them to his home.

After worshiping their ancestors in the afternoon, they will rush to Liu's house, spend the night at Liu's house, and return to the boat tomorrow afternoon.

Uncle Chen's house is a little cramped, but it is enough for the general.

They were not in a hurry to go to the mountain to worship, they wanted to wait until the sun was not so harsh in the afternoon before going, so they listened to Uncle Chen's narration about the situation of the ethnology.

"According to brother Yanzhi's suggestion, in order to provide children with a clean and comfortable learning environment, the ethnology studies are all newly built brick and tile buildings with bright and clean windows. In addition to six classrooms, there are two libraries, from which outstanding students can take Take a copy of a book and return it after three months...

And the gentlemen that Brother Yan helped to invite all arrived in Chenjia Village at the beginning of the year, and now they are the masters of ethnology..."

During the period, the elders of the three clans also added something about the general use of the silver taels they sent.

He is responsible for this part, but the account book is with the old patriarch.

The old patriarch also asked someone to get the ledger and show it to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Qin Ao refused: "This is an internal affair of the Chen family, and I can't listen to it alone. The old patriarch can just show it to the elder brother."

He's here to support, not to do it for him.

Chen Zhuolin was not polite either, he said grandly that his fellow clansmen would trust him, and checking the accounts was also something his father told him before leaving.

Some things are better to be clear on the bright side than to be ambiguous.

Because it was only a year old, there was only one account book, but it was very thick, and there were a lot of dense records on it.

From the large expenditures for school construction, to the pens, inks, papers and inkstones bought for students every month, every stroke is very clear.

Chen Zhuolin flipped through the ledger, but Chen Fulin suddenly asked:
"Uncle Chen, I wonder how many boys and girls there are in our ethnology?"

Uncle Chen was taken aback by the question.

girl?

Do girls also go to ethnology?

Looking at the astonished expressions of Uncle Chen and the old patriarch, Chen Fulin had a feeling of "it really is so" in his heart.

How lucky she was to be born in such a family...

"This...to tell you the truth, there are no female dolls enrolled in the ethnology..."

Uncle Chen was very disturbed when he said this.

He didn't know what was wrong, the school taught all classics and history, archery and horsemanship, and looking at the entire Dajing, there was no precedent for women to enter the school.

But he always felt that something was wrong... So he could only look at the nobleman's expression, hoping to see something from it.

Uncle Chen knew it. In the letters from the Chen family in Shangjing, it was mentioned many times that this nobleman proposed to set up a school in the clan to train the younger generation of the clan.

It also hinted that the future world will be an unparalleled path to rise for poor scholars.

So neither Uncle Chen nor the old patriarch dared to treat Chen Fulin as an ordinary woman and treat her poorly.

The old patriarch saw that the nobleman looked calm, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince next to him was also silent, wanting to explain a few words.

Then I heard the nobleman continue to ask: "Then what are the main studies of ethnology today?"

Uncle Chen knows this question!

He said: "In ethnology, students are currently divided into several stages, elementary school, elementary school and classics, and classics is divided into two classes.

Primitive education is mainly for children around the age of five, and some of them teach the Three Character Classic, Thousand Character Classic, Hundred Surnames, etc. The focus is on making the children literate and sensible, and it takes three years.Then there is elementary school, which is the study of phonology and exegesis, teaching Qiyun, Pingxiang, antithesis, etc., which are the basis of composition, and it lasts for another three years.The last is to systematically study a subset of classics and history, and discuss strategies and suggestions. "

"Of course, in the first six years of elementary school and elementary school, the family will fully undertake, and they will not refuse for any reason. After that, the children can freely choose to continue studying classics, or find another way. It's just that the current family studies are still based on elementary school and elementary school. Primary schools are the main ones, and the ages are somewhat uneven..."

Although their Chen clan passed on farming and studying to their families, not all members of the clan can afford to support their children to go to school.

Farming, reading, farming, and farming by a family may not be able to support a scholar.

Even after reading the book, there are very few people who will be able to make great achievements in the future. As time goes by, many people in the clan can't see hope, so they give up.

But the Youzhou Chen family ignited everyone's hopes.

Their ancestors are the ones in the village who have always insisted on farming and studying, and they are all passed down for several generations. The family tightened their belts and wanted to provide for the only child to study.

see?

How many generations have people persisted!There was a high-ranking official in Beijing!

The sons and daughters also have their own futures, and they have become relatives of the emperor!
So it's better to read!
The Chen family in Shangjing paid for the establishment of an ethnology in their village, which they will remember from generation to generation...

After hearing this, Chen Fulin nodded:

"In just one year, it's not easy to achieve this level of family studies. The old patriarch, several clan elders, and people like Chen Abo who have silently contributed to the future of the Chen clan are all worthy of admiration. .”

Old Patriarch: Look!This nobleman from Beijing just speaks differently...

"My Chen family has always passed on farming and reading. Everyone is sensible. Although we are in the countryside, the family is harmonious and lives and works in peace and contentment." She paused for a moment before continuing:
"It's just that this junior has an immature idea and wants to hear your opinions..."

The old patriarch hurriedly said: "Your honor, please tell me."

Where is your idea of ​​being immature?

Scholars just like to play tricks!

"Since ancient times, men have been based outside, involved in the heights of temples, far away from the rivers and lakes, and supported the family. Therefore, all the students in the world are men, which is understandable. But women live in the courtyard, take care of their husbands and children, and take care of common affairs. If there is a chance , so that they can also read and write, and acquire a skill?"

The old patriarch frowned slightly, as if he wanted to refute her immediately.

But what the nobleman said is correct... is to let women read and write?

How is this possible?
What men and women do and how they behave in the world are completely different, how can they be confused?
Before he could figure out how to refute without offending the nobleman, he heard the nobleman say again:
"It should be noted that when children are young, they are all older than their mother's knees, but before the age of five, mothers can teach children many things, literacy, and reason. This is not only the task of elementary school, but also the task of parents.

Of course, even if there is no such a mother who can educate the children well, if the boy is enlightened at the age of five and raised by his husband and his father, there is still a chance. What about the daughter? "

"A mother who only knows how to farm, wash and cook, the daughter she teaches will also only know how to wash, cook and work, and this cycle goes on and on, endlessly..."

Chen's mother was born in a merchant's family, but she studied since childhood.

Chen Fulin is also studying.

She always believes that only by studying can women be truly self-reliant and self-reliant.
