Daming: I, Zhu Di, threatened to seize the heir apparent at the beginning!

Chapter 42 At night, the warm silhouette in front of the window...

It's approaching evening.

Xu Da was invited into the palace and shared the royal meal with Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying.

Zhu Di carried the plow and led the rhubarb.

Facing the cool breeze in the evening, I also returned home.

Inside the hut, candles were already lit.

In the courtyard, Xu Miaoyun turned his back to the courtyard gate and was scooping water from the water tank into the basin.

Hearing the sound of the small gate on the fence, she turned around quickly, and when she saw who it was, a smile burst into her pretty face, "It's just in time for me to come back, and the wash water is ready."

"The meal is ready, too."

Zhu Di set up the plow, led Rhubarb into the cowshed, and said with a smile, "Don't carry the water basin inside the house, I'll wash it in the yard."

Xu Miaoyun responded and entered the room.

When Zhu Di came out of the cowshed, Xu Miaoyun came out with a ladle of steaming hot water.

I added some hot water into the basin, and tested the water temperature with my fingers, "It's just right."

Zhu Di smiled and squatted by the sink to wash.

This feeling... so good!
Xu Miaoyun stood beside her with soap horns and a towel, and talked about today's events: "The queen mother is here today."

"I know."

"Have you spoken to the queen mother?"

"No, the queen mother has been watching by the field for a long time. I was afraid that he would feel uncomfortable, so I didn't go there."

……

"I brought some marinated pheasants, eels, and apricot blossom wine to my mother, let everyone taste it, let our relatives who care about us know that our life is not difficult, and let them rest assured."

Zhu Di took the towel, wiped his hands, looked at Xu Miaoyun seriously, and said with a smile: "I will leave the family affairs to you, I can rest assured that you will be able to do everything well."

Hearing this, the corners of Xu Miaoyun's lips raised slightly, with a smile on her face.

"But, I feel like I did a stupid thing. After my mother left, I regretted it to death." Xu Miaoyun frowned.

"What's the matter, tell me?" Zhu Di asked with a smile.

They are already common people.

Their behavior doesn't matter much.

At best, it affects their little family.

It will not have any bad influence on the people of the world.

How big can a family matter be?
When there are difficulties, just face them together.

"Mao Xiang tested us about running a school. I saw through it at a glance. It was the emperor who suspected our motives. He felt a little uncomfortable and angry, so he told Mao Xiang directly that he would take the children to take the children's exam next year."

"This was originally our private thought."

"The purpose is also to let children experience the imperial examination."

"I shouldn't be impulsive."

"Now, this matter will definitely spread. It's fine to make fun of us, but I'm worried that someone will use this matter to make a fuss."

……

"I still think about it a lot. You said that we have given too many expectations to the villagers. If we can't do it, will the villagers suffer?"

"Even...even..."

"Even resent us, right?" Zhu Di smiled and took over the conversation, while reaching out to hold Xu Miaoyun's hand.

While walking into the house, he said: "First of all, the folks will definitely not hate us!"

"Even if you can't get fame, you can still use the knowledge you have learned!"

"Uncle Ba envies that I have studied and learned how to cultivate land faster than he did back then."

"The benefits of knowledge do not have to be reflected in fame!"

"It is true that people are different according to their abilities. Some people are not suitable for imperial examinations, but they can learn knowledge and master knowledge. Even if they can't get fame, there are still many places to use knowledge."

"Practical knowledge such as agriculture and mathematics should be taught to children."

……

Confucianism, in his view, is actually a social and moral discipline.

Teach people how to manage interpersonal relationships, and realize the relationship between people and nature, people and people, and people and the environment.

In the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, those cultivated by the imperial examinations were actually a group of pragmatic talents who were good at handling interpersonal relationships and regulating the operation of the regime.

In the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, the real pragmatic ones were the sharp-edged officials.

Special retreats will not work.

But being very pragmatic, blindly doing things will not work.

Do not go to extremes in anything.

……

Holding Xu Miaoyun's hand, they came to the dining table and sat side by side behind a bench. Zhu Di continued to say while serving the meal, "As for the exams for children, don't be too stressed."

"The children's exam is actually not difficult."

"The children's exam focuses on the basics, and the scope of the questions is just a few classics. There are not a hundred thousand words in total, right?"

"The biggest difficulty for these monkey children in our village is the stage of literacy and memorizing those few classics."

……

There is something good about reading in this era.

Recite something!

Thinking about the past life, the number of words in one semester's Chinese textbooks is more than that of the important classics of this era!

Zhu Di put the bowl full of rice in front of Xu Miaoyun, and urged with a smile: "Eat first, and after the meal, I will teach you a way to quickly learn to read."

"And ways to strengthen memory."

"I was studying in the palace, I often skipped classes, and I was able to maintain my homework grades, relying on these two magic weapons!"

Literacy methods and memory training methods are true.

That last sentence is, of course, false.

puff!
Xu Miaoyun was amused, picked up the chopsticks, and picked up food for Zhu Di, "I've been tired all day, eat more."

Zhu Di smiled.

……

After dinner.

Xu Miaoyun cleaned up.

Zhu Di came to the table in front of the window.

I took a few sheets of paper, picked up a pen, thought for a while, and started to write at my desk.

Pinyin.

What I learned in elementary school is one of the magic weapons for the popularization of literacy culture.

Memory training method.

This is the training he received when he was a soldier. Although the training of memory at that time was not for exams, it was the same, it was all training to strengthen memory.

Systematic Advanced Training Method!
People can't get in touch!

Even in the army, only a few selected ones have the opportunity to be trained.

Practical Arabic numerals, addition, subtraction, multiplication and division!

Originally, he did not prepare these.

Give the children lessons, how to do it in this era, how they do it, just follow the steps.

He has no intention of doing anything epoch-making.

Just live your life!

The original intention of running the school was just to prevent Miao Yun from working in the fields.

But since she cares so much and is under so much pressure, then give her a reassurance!

Of course, she cared so much and was under so much pressure. To put it bluntly, she still didn't want him to be laughed at.

……

sometime.

"What laughing?"

Hearing the sound, Zhu Di turned his head and saw Xu Miaoyun sitting beside her with her cheeks in her hands and a smile on her lips.

I don't know when it will come.

Zhu Di smiled and said, "I was just thinking about the scene when the students we teach came to Tuqiao Village to thank our rural couple after being the number one scholar in high school."

By then, we must be old...

Under the apricot tree, two gray-haired old men who lost their teeth, their children and grandchildren around their knees, peaches and plums all over the world...

Xu Miaoyun couldn't help but pictured the scene at that time in her mind, with a little light in her eyes, she couldn't help laughing.

Such a scene is really beautiful...

"It would be great to get some grades in the children's exam." Returning to reality with a smile.

"You can try to think about it, if it comes true..." Zhu Di said with a smile: "At this stage, the most important task for children is to learn to read. I will teach you pinyin first."

this night.

The cool spring night breeze blows outside the window.

inside the window.

In the shadow of candlelight.

On the opposite wall, there is a reflection of a young couple, one is teaching, the other is learning...

　Ask for a monthly pass, recommendation, investment, follow-up.
