"I'm teaching them the Three Character Classic now. I've almost covered all the characters they need to know. After the Three Character Classic, it's the Hundred Family Surnames."
Fu Xiangbei was confused. "What's the point of learning the Three Character Classic and the Hundred Family Surnames?"
Zhong Yuxiu asked in surprise, "Haven't you learned it?"
"No, I just read it when I was a child, and I didn't learn it specifically." He just read it. If you really asked him to explain its meaning, he couldn't do it.
"Is that so? Then you are not suitable to teach them for the time being." The children are still young, and she wants to teach them first according to the ancient methods of teaching young children at home; let them understand filial piety, brotherhood, loyalty, trustworthiness, propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame, and then let them understand the importance of benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness, setting a benchmark for them from an early age.
This benchmark is not meant to determine what kind of person they become, but rather to establish an insurmountable benchmark in their hearts forever. Such a benchmark needs to be established from a young age so that they can keep it in mind in life and it becomes a habit, engraved in their bones.
Fu Xiangbei was confused. "Master, schools don't teach the Three Character Classic or the Hundred Family Surnames anymore."
"I know, it is precisely because they don't want to teach that I have to teach them; while they are still in school, I should teach them what they should be taught and shape their character early on." Those instructions in ancient times were not without reason. The children of aristocrats or even scholars had really different character and demeanor.
Compared with the rigid and systematic teaching of later generations and the present, she prefers the ancient teaching style; however, each era has its own customs, and one must learn what needs to be learned. Hasn't she also learned many of the current customs?
"Master, I understand. You have your ideas. When I go back, I will ask my grandfather if he has the Three Character Classic and the Hundred Family Surnames. I will study it more and will be able to start teaching them tomorrow." He, Fu Xiangbei, will not admit defeat.
The fact that he has never learned it shows that his knowledge is not broad enough, just like his vision and experience; what Grandpa Yan said is indeed right, he needs to grow up.
Zhong Yuxiu nodded. "It's a good idea to have this in mind. Learn more about the Three Character Classic, the Hundred Family Surnames, and even Confucianism. It will be very beneficial to your future."
The Confucian doctrine of the mean has been passed down for thousands of years, and those who can truly apply it are all great people.
"I'll listen to Master." He had a goal in learning again, no longer blindly learning whatever he got. "Master, did you learn these things when you were a kid?"
She!
This is what she learned in ancient times, not in modern times, and certainly not in the interstellar world; however, she still prefers the teaching knowledge of ancient times, which is the character that is truly integrated into her bones and blood.
The original owner had started learning since childhood. After all, the Wan family was a big family in the past. Even though they were severely suppressed, they did not forget how to teach their own children to study. The education the original owner received was indeed not comparable to Wan Yutong's.
"Yes, I went through the same thing when I was little. The books I mentioned teach us about filial piety, brotherhood, loyalty, propriety, righteousness, integrity, and shame. We can be shameless in our conduct, but we must never cross the line. The eight characters I mentioned are our bottom line. We must never make mistakes in matters of right and wrong, in matters of the greater good."
One wrong step could cost someone's life.
"Okay, I'll be fine, Master, don't worry."
Wang Daya and the others brought the food, and the group finished their breakfast. Fu Xiangbei felt that he couldn't teach the children, so he simply followed Zhong Yuxiu and listened to the teacher's lectures. When he wasn't learning, he thought it was just feudal old stuff, not worth learning; but when it came out of the teacher's mouth, it was different.
Those little stories left him wanting more, and he wanted to hear more; it turned out that their ancestors in ancient history were also very powerful. It turned out that he had always been a frog in a well, believing whatever others said. Why didn't he study such a good book?
Not only do you have to learn, but you have to learn it well! Then you can show off to Grandpa.
With this plan in mind, Fu Xiangbei happily enrolled in the school midway, and he studied very well, which made Zhong Yuxiu very satisfied.
That night, after Fu Xiangbei returned, he found Mr. Fu.
"Grandpa, I'm back."
"You're back. Have you eaten?" Mr. Fu sat at the dining table and wiped his mouth slowly.
Fu Xiangbei walked to the table and saw another set of bowls and chopsticks on the table, which was obviously left for him. He picked up the chopsticks and started eating. "I just came back from eating. The food at Master's house is really delicious."
Old Master Fu looked at him in surprise, wondering why this child was different today.
"After you eat it, go to your master more often... No, you didn't go to the Yan family. That's not right. When did you get a master?"
"My sister-in-law is the one who became my apprentice today. She will be my master from now on. My master said that we will have a banquet the day after tomorrow to celebrate the apprenticeship. We would like to invite everyone in our family to come. My master also has someone to invite, so we can have two tables together."
Mr. Fu blinked, still not recovering from the news.
"Tell me again, who is your master?"
Fu Xiangbei stepped forward and patiently said word by word, "My master is the daughter-in-law of the eldest brother of the Yan family."
Old Master Fu slapped him on the head, and Fu Xiangbei quickly stepped back; he was afraid that his grandfather was trying to murder his grandson.
"Grandpa, what are you doing?"
"Let's see if you have a fever." Mr. Fu still followed and touched his forehead, "You don't have a fever!"
Fu Xiangbei endured it and said, "Sister-in-law really accepted me as her apprentice. In the future, I can learn from my master, which is much better than learning aimlessly." Having a reliable master to guide you will help you avoid many detours.
Mr. Fu withdrew his hand and asked again, "Really?"
"Really? Today at Master's house, I learned the second half of the Hundred Family Surnames from Master."
"What's the point of learning that?"
Fu Xiangbei, "Master also learned this when she was young. Moreover, Master is now teaching her three children everything from Pinyin to the Three Character Classic and the Hundred Family Surnames. I heard there are other books, but I haven't learned them yet. Grandpa, do we have the Three Character Classic and the Hundred Family Surnames at home? Are there any other books?"
"Three hundred thousand, we don't have these books at home, you can go to the bookstore to have a look."
Fu Xiangbei shook his head in disappointment, put down his chopsticks, and left the restaurant in disappointment. Old Master Fu was completely stunned. What was that look in this naughty kid's eyes? Was he disappointed in him? What was there to be disappointed about? Just because he didn't have three hundred thousand?
Mr. Fu shook his head helplessly. After he finished his meal and left, a nanny came to clear the table.
The next morning, Mr. Fu went to the bookstore himself and found Sanbaiqian and other Confucian books for his grandson.
At the Yan family's home, Yan Rushan woke up and contacted Xi Nian first. He explained the meat and vegetables he needed to buy and the things he needed to prepare, saying they would be used the next morning, and then hung up. A short while later, Fu Xiangbei came over, but after checking in and not seeing Zhong Yuxiu, he hurried back to school.
By the time Zhong Yuxiu finished packing, Fu Xiangbei had already left.
"Fu Xiangbei just came." Yan Rushan reported to his wife.
