Figure out everyone's level, and if there are any lagging areas, tutor them privately before the start of the semester to improve their level.
We need to understand each person's strengths and weaknesses in advance, and even start creating learning plans for each person to train them into the best instructors.
Needless to say, the imperial physicians were highly skilled; no one without such expertise could possibly enter the palace.
As for the senior doctors in the private sector who are over forty years old, they have many years of experience and can serve as doctors in the capital for their entire lives. They are certainly not incompetent and are very familiar with a lot of knowledge. It's just that some details and more advanced methods need to be taught in detail, which is not a big deal.
Amidst this busy schedule, Gou'er is about to take this year's spring examination, preparing to become a child scholar.
If he hadn't gone on vacation with his parents for a few years, he would have taken the exam long ago. But it's not too late now. After returning, he has been studying diligently and seeking advice from teachers. He has learned very well and is very confident about this exam.
Jiang Jiuniang finally stopped what she was doing and focused on spending time with Gou'er, waiting for him to finish his exams.
“Mother, you can go about your business, I don’t need to stay with you.”
Although I was very happy, I didn't want to delay my mother's affairs.
Jiang Jiuniang ruffled his hair haphazardly and said, "Nothing is more important than you. Just focus on the exam and don't put too much pressure on yourself. If you pass, your mother will be proud of you. If you don't pass, we'll try again next year!"
The country is short of talent, and we have been holding exams every year for the past few years. We don't need to take the exams once or twice.
The dog knew its mother was trying to comfort it, so it nodded, but in its heart it was determined to pass the exam and not fall behind.
During the years they traveled together, Lei Zi passed the Xiucai exam. He didn't take it last year because his ranking wasn't very high. He wanted to study for another year so that he could improve his ranking when he took the Juren exam.
Jiezi and Xiaohuzi were both students who had passed the imperial examinations, but he was the only one in his family who had never taken the exams, which made him anxious.
All Jiang Jiuniang could do was stay by his side and say nothing more. For the three days leading up to the exam, Jiang Jiuniang personally cooked simple and elegant meals for Gou'er.
Jiang Jiuniang rarely cooks, mainly because she's lazy, but the dishes she makes are delicious, and even the dog likes them.
On the day of the exam, Lu Baichuan took his wife and daughter to send his son to the exam.
Gou'er's household registration is still in Jingzhou, so he should have taken the exam there. However, the entire Lu family is here now, and both he and his wife are busy with other things and can't go back to accompany Gou'er to take the exam. Therefore, the emperor has granted Gou'er special permission to take the exam in the capital.
Even so, his family was still quite worried and prepared a lot of dry food for him, fearing that he would go hungry.
Watching the dog enter the arena, Xiangxiang suddenly said, "Mommy, I want to study too."
Jiang Jiuniang and Lu Baichuan were both stunned. Their daughter was not even three years old this year. She was too young to be considered a teacher in kindergarten, yet she said she wanted to go to school.
Although she was busy during this time, she did not neglect her daughter's education at all. She found a lot of comic books for her daughter to read and taught her some simple hands-on skills. The child learned very quickly and now basically doesn't like those comic books anymore.
Jiang Jiuniang was having a headache. Neither she nor Lu Baichuan were the parents who raised their children with a "tiger parenting" mentality, but why did their two children both seem to like raising their children with a "tiger parenting" mentality?
Before Jiang Jiuniang could speak, Xiangxiang asked again, "Mother, can't I study?"
"sure!"
The girls' schooling is now officially approved, and every class at her girls' school is full, with even the enrollment quota for the following year already filled.
Many families reserve spots as soon as their children are of a suitable age, making thorough preparations for their children.
However, Xiangxiang is still so young. Even if she were sent to a girls' school, there would be no special small-class teaching. Moreover, nowadays girls' schools are more like vocational schools, not for taking exams for official titles, but for learning literacy, accounting, and other skills.
But her own daughter was different. Although she couldn't express herself yet, Jiang Jiuniang knew very well that she wanted to be as well-versed in the Four Books and Five Classics as her brothers, and to be familiar with the deeds of famous people throughout history and the details of the long river of history. Her ambition was not in a craft.
Therefore, Jiang Jiuniang wanted to find her a tutor, a private tutor, who could take into account her age and abilities, and provide a less stressful atmosphere than a traditional school.
"How about your mother finds you a tutor to teach you to read?"
"good!"
Xiangxiang nodded obediently, feeling very happy.
The reason she wanted to study was that she always saw her brother as very knowledgeable, speaking eloquently and writing long articles with ease. She thought that since her brother was so capable, she couldn't fall behind, otherwise she wouldn't have anything in common with him.
The family of three returned to the General's Mansion, and Jiang Jiuniang went to find Qin Shi.
"Second sister-in-law, I'm planning to find a tutor for Xiangxiang to come to our house for her early education. How about Xiaodoudou starts her early education too?"
Xiaodoudou is several years older than Xiangxiang and has long been of the age for early education. However, Qin Shi and Lu Lao Er felt that their Xiaodoudou was too playful and unsettled, so they wanted to wait until she was older before starting her education. Unexpectedly, it has been delayed until now.
“Sure, my DouDou really should start early education, but XiangXiang is still so young, isn’t it too early for her to start now?”
Qin felt a pang of heartache when she thought of the adorable and cuddly little Xiangxiang, thinking that her third sister-in-law was being too strict with the child.
Receiving the look from Qin Shi that implied she was pushing her child too hard, Jiang Jiuniang feigned innocence and spread her hands, saying, "It wasn't me who wanted her to start her education; it was her own idea. She said she wanted to study like her older brothers."
"My God, she knows all this at such a young age?"
Qin's eyes widened, and she suddenly felt that it was really absurd that her little Dou Dou was so old and hadn't started early education yet.
"Have you decided who you want to hire as a schoolteacher?"
"It's not clear yet. I'll have someone write a notice for me and invite people to apply. When looking for a tutor for my child, I want someone who is flexible, likes children, and isn't too rigid."
Ideally, one should be like Mr. Kang, but unfortunately, not everyone in this world has Mr. Kang's open-mindedness.
"Okay, Third Sister-in-law, just tell me what you need me to do, and I'll do my best to cooperate!"
Qin was very excited. Although she and her husband were not very capable, Youya and Jiezi were both excellent children. Seeing that Xiaodoudou was obviously not as smart as his older brother and sister and only thought about playing all day, Qin was very anxious.
The couple experienced the bitterness of being the least successful among their siblings and didn't want their son to go through the same thing.
The second branch of the family was fortunate to have such good brothers and sisters-in-law as the first and third branches, but they couldn't guarantee that Dou Dou would receive the same treatment in the future. So they could only let him grow up as quickly as possible and not hold his older brothers and sisters back.
"There's not much to do, but I should give Xiaodoudou some advice. Studying is important and shouldn't be taken lightly."
Jiang Jiuniang also knew about Xiaodoudou's situation. She went to Xiteng with her parents. Her parents spoiled him because they thought he had gone through a lot of hardship with them. His personality was not as calm as the other children in the Lu family, and he even showed a tendency to rebel.
