In the fifth year since she traveled through time, Du Yaoyao finally welcomed her first baby in another world.
"It's all my fault, baby. Otherwise, I could have taken the Master's Exam in March this year."
Now the imperial court is setting up girls' schools, and various places are responding one by one. Because it is an official school, the candidates are selected through government examinations. Candidates of all genders are welcome. They need to study the Four Books and Five Classics diligently and pass written examinations and interviews before they can become teachers of others.
Chen Jie comforted him, "There is a long way to go, and we are not in a hurry. Give me more time to review so that I can help you with your homework."
Speaking of this, Du Yaoyao felt ashamed. "My cousin and Ye Ying both passed the exam last year, but I failed. I studied hard for a year, and now I'm pregnant."
She stroked her flat belly. She hadn't had her period for two months, but when she took her pulse, she found out she was pregnant.
"Pregnant women should be careful not to be impatient." Chen Jie handed a cup of mint water to Du Yaoyao, "What you learned before is different from what you learn here, so take your time."
"No wonder people say that the ancients were very wise. It's really hard to understand." Du Yaoyao took a big sip of water and said with a sullen face, "I thought I was quite smart, but I was slapped in the face by the Book of Rites, the Book of Changes, and the Spring and Autumn Annals."
They are all classical Chinese texts. One must understand them thoroughly, draw inferences from them, and write beautiful articles.
Du Yaoyao had never been exposed to it since she was a child, so it was difficult for her to learn it.
"The imperial examination also tests this, how can it not be difficult?" Shen Jie coaxed, "Why don't we stop studying, and you can just stay at home and manage the shop and take care of the children."
"I won't!" Du Yaoyao pouted. "Otherwise, next time I meet my cousin and Ye Ying, they will laugh at me for having only ideas but no practical actions. I don't want a husband, children and a warm bed." As she said that, she picked up a copy of "The Analects of Confucius" to read.
Chen Jie snatched the book from her hand and said, "Reading at night is not good for your eyes. If you want to learn, I will recite it to you and explain it to you."
Du Yaoyao glared at him, "I can't learn it even though I studied so hard, but you can recite the Four Books and Five Classics by heart. It's true that if you compare yourself to others, you will die, and if you compare goods to others, you will throw them away."
"I have also learned it for many years." Chen Jie caressed her belly flatteringly, "It's time to coax the baby to sleep at this time. I will read the Three Character Classic to her."
"Master Shen..." Du Yaoyao stretched out her voice speechlessly, pinching her knuckles to make a gesture, "Your daughter is only this young, and her hearing organs have just developed. Can she understand what you are reading?"
Ever since she became pregnant, Chen Jie Lei has been reading to the baby every night without fail, it's amazing.
"But I want to read to her. If she listens to me for ten months, maybe she will be smarter when she is born." Chen Jie lifted Du Yaoyao's underwear and stared at her snow-white belly eagerly.
"Don't look at me." Du Yaoyao pulled down her clothes, looking angry, "I didn't see you care so much about me, so I guess I'm just a tool to give birth to your baby."
Having been with Du Yaoyao for a long time, Chen Jie could understand most of the new terms she used. The face of a pregnant woman, like the weather in June, changes in an instant. He kissed her upturned lips, "No way, I love my wife the most. Of course I love my wife the most. The child is the continuation of our love." He paused, "I've been looking forward to it for many years."
"How can it be so many years?" Du Yaoyao said unwillingly, "In my hometown, I was 23 years old, just graduated from college, and in my youth, but now I have to be a mother." Becoming a mother for the first time, she felt happy but also sad.
Chen Jie scratched her little nose, "People of my age in Da Chu would have had children all over the place long ago. I have been married for eight years before I received news that my wife is pregnant. My colleagues laughed at me for my lack of offspring and difficulty in having children."
