"Yes, your wife is very capable. She will only get better and better in the future."
Jiang Shuyun knew Yi'an; she wouldn't mistreat those who worked for her.
"Sir, are you going to teach the village children to read?"
"I haven't decided yet. I don't have that much time to teach them. Besides, my strength is limited. It's impossible for one person to give poor children the opportunity to read and write."
The two servants knew little about Jiang Shuyun's work on making literacy booklets.
"You two should read more books in your spare time. Even though you can't take the imperial examinations, reading more books will still be beneficial."
Also, in your free time, find something you're good at to do.
Wei Dong likes martial arts, he could also try practicing calligraphy. Li Li, you could try learning to paint.
Your master is a gentleman of the Six Arts, and the only ones he's truly proficient in are calligraphy and painting. As my servants, you should at least learn one of them.
Li Li and Wei Dong looked at each other, dumbfounded.

We visited more than a dozen villages, large and small, and learned that there were three schools, with two teachers who were scholars and one who was a successful candidate in the imperial examinations.
They were all quite old and had basically given up on the imperial examinations.
Jiang Shuyun, take a look. There are three schools, and the tuition fees are not low. They are all schools aimed at the imperial examinations. Unlike his father's school, there is no class that specifically teaches children to read.
Most of the children in the village did not go to school; only a few families with better conditions could send one child to school.
Jiang Shuyun organized the information she had gathered during her visits over the past few days and wrote an article, intending to have the headmaster comment on it.
As for how to use the literacy booklet, Jiang Shuyun had a rough idea in her mind.
