Chapter 78
During the three months of national mourning, marriages, banquets and gatherings are not allowed in the city, and play is not allowed. Lin Shuran just took this opportunity to close the door and start her grand plan of child training.

Just after breakfast that day, Lin Shuran called the eldest brother Xu Mingchen, the second child Xu Mingye, the third child Xu Minghan, the fourth child Xu Mingfan, the fifth child Xu Mingyuan, the sixth child Xu Mingzhou and the seventh child Xu Minghao, and pointed to a big camphorwood box in front of them and said : "This is a book sent by the Lin family early in the morning. It contains all the lonely books I have read before. From today onwards, each of you will take one back and copy it carefully. Remember to copy it yourself and write your name on it. If you encounter words you don’t know or places you don’t understand, you can ask Mr. Bai for advice, or you can come and ask me.”

In Lin Shuran's view, there is no shortcut to reading. Even a talented person has to put in 90.00% of his efforts. The ancients did not often say: "There are roads in the mountains of books and hard work is the path, and the sea of ​​learning is boundless and hard work."

Although copying books seems to be a stupid method, the process of persistence can exercise a person's concentration and endurance. It can not only enhance memory, store knowledge, but also cultivate one's morality. At the same time, it can also practice calligraphy and improve calligraphy ability. There are many benefits.

These children are full of energy, and copying books can sharpen their temperament.

"Ah——" Xu Minghao wailed and fell to the ground, begging Lin Shuran blankly, "Mother, can I stop copying books?"

Lin Shuran looked at him with a serious expression and shook his head, Xu Minghao drooped his head, and then suddenly seemed to remember something, and complained: "Then why didn't Brother Xuan copy the book?"

"Brother Xuan is one year younger than you, and it's a bit early to copy books. He has other things to do this year!" Xu Minghao will be eight years old after the new year, and Xu Mingxuan is only seven years old. Lin Shuran wants to guide him in other ways study.

"What else?" Xu Minghao was a little envious of Xu Mingxuan, no matter what it was, it would be easier than copying books, but when he later learned that Xu Mingxuan had to memorize an ancient poem a day, he thought it would be better to copy books, at least it would be easy The brain is only tired.

"My hand is hurt!" When it comes to reading and writing, Xu Mingye is also the first two elders. He would rather practice martial arts for twelve hours than turn a page of a book. .

"Your hand is ready. No one can escape. From now on, copying books will be the family rule of the Xu family!" Compared to Xu Minghao who doesn't like reading, Xu Mingye is the one who makes Lin Shuran feel more headache. He is about the same age as Xu Mingchen. They are both 13 years old, but they don't know many words. If you don't hurry up and let him learn, he will become illiterate soon.

In this time and space, the gap between the rich and the poor, and family status are very large. The children of ordinary people may not have the opportunity to study in their lifetime. Since Xu Mingye and the others are already in a high school, they have such good conditions and opportunities in front of them. It is impossible for Lin Shuran Watch them waste time and miss opportunities.

Lin Shuran's attitude was persistent, and the others didn't dare to say anything. Looking at the box of books in front of them, they lowered their heads and looked at each other, and sighed in sympathy. Under Lin Shuran's eyes, each of them left with a book up.

The fourth brother, Xu Mingfan, was the last to take the book out of the box. He accepted Lin Shuran's decision to let them copy the book. Anyway, he usually has the habit of copying the book, but he didn't leave after taking the book.

"Brother Fan, is there anything else?" Lin Shuran asked Xu Mingfan suspiciously when he saw Xu Mingfan hesitated to speak.

Xu Mingfan looked up at her, pursed his lower lips, and said bravely, "Mother, the sixth day of this month is the first baby test. I want to take the test, is that okay?"

"Sixth day?" Today is the second day of February, and it is only four days away from the sixth day. Lin Shuran looked at Xu Mingfan in surprise and asked, "I don't object to you wanting to take part in the boy's test, but why are you saying it now? Seeing The first exam is about to take place, is there still time to sign up?"

As soon as Xu Mingfan heard that Lin Shuran did not object, he immediately replied with a smile on his face: "It's too late, Mr. Bai said that I have enough time to register the day before the exam!" Then, he explained embarrassingly, "My mother has been busy with everything before, and I don't want my mother to go to school again. Concerned about my affairs, Song Lin will take part in the boy's trial with me, and mother can just wait for our good news at home."

Facing such a sensible and confident Xu Mingfan, Lin Shuran also showed a gratified smile. However, Xu Mingfan was only ten years old after all. Although it was just a boy's exam, I heard that the exam was also very hard and harsh.

"Boy, you have to take five exams in a row, can you stand it?" Lin Shuran was more worried that Xu Mingfan's body would not be able to bear it than the exams.

"Mom, it's okay, I can take it!" Isn't it just five exams, he is not afraid at all.

"Then you study your homework carefully, and I will talk about copying books later. I will send you off on the day of the exam, and I will prepare some more food for you. By the way, I will find you a book boy later. You see, you are looking for A lively one or a quieter one?" Suddenly learning that Xu Mingfan was going to take part in the children's test, Lin Shuran also became anxious. There are many children in the family, and she has been focusing on Xu Mingchen's affairs recently, but she has neglected other children.

Xu Mingfan tightened his mouth and shook his head with sour eyes. In fact, every time he saw Lin Shuran paying so much attention to Xu Mingchen and Xu Minghao, he was envious and jealous. He also wanted to be that special child in Lin Shuran's eyes. He is a child who studies, so he has to take part in the children's test like Zhang Songlin. He used to want to prove that he is good at reading, but now he wants to prove it to Lin Shuran and Xu Junze, and let them know that he is also a very good kid!

"Mother, I don't need a book boy, I can do it myself!" Xu Mingfan didn't want to cause Lin Shuran any more trouble. They had a lot of children, so he was very satisfied if he could give him some attention.

The young masters and young ladies of rich families have servants around them. For some unknown reason, Xu Junze did not send servants to follow Xu Mingchen and the others before, but only sent secret guards in the dark to protect their safety. He usually let the servants follow him when he went out. , so the young masters of the Xu family have no book boys or close servants around them.

Lin Shuran used to think that there was no need for others to help her with what she could do, but she had been an ancient young lady for more than three years in this time and space, and she felt that it was necessary to add some staff to herself, because in this way she would have more If you have more time to concentrate on doing what you want to do, adding manpower can save you time, effort and mind.

After figuring this out, she decided that the next thing to do was to add some capable assistants to the children, but where could she find the servants she wanted?
