Chen Dalang's answer further confirmed his opinion.
He couldn't help but look at Mou Ziyi triumphantly and provocatively.
Mou Ziyi was stunned, with a look of complete disbelief in his eyes.
Chen Laoshi and his wife are illiterate, but their children are all geniuses.
It's no big deal that his son is a genius, and his daughter is even more of a genius among geniuses. She also takes the initiative to educate her younger brother, which is something his scholarly family can tolerate no matter what.
Li Qingzhao, a talented woman through the ages, was also born into a scholarly family.
Looking at Yun Wuyuan's triumphant eyes, he really wanted to punch his eyes out to vent his anger.
He asked in as gentle a tone as possible: "Chen Dalang, how did your two sisters learn to read?"
"The two sisters studied at night school!" Chen Dalang answered honestly.
Yun Wuwu couldn't help but be disappointed. He didn't expect that none of their brothers and sisters were legendary geniuses.
When Mou Zicai heard that he was not a genius, he finally felt relieved.
Although she is not a legendary genius, it is great that my sister can be my brother's wife.
Yun Wuwen still didn't give up, and continued to ask: "Your two sisters study at night, but where did they come from? How come I haven't heard of them?"
It turns out that the master didn't know about this either, which was a bit troublesome.
"This night school is a school run by two workshops in Zhaojiazhuang. Since we study at night, it is called night school." Chen Dalang explained.
"Nonsense, it's so dark at night, how can you go to school?" Hearing that Chen Dalang's words became more and more absurd, Mou Ziyi couldn't help but reprimanded him, "How can you make me believe this?"
Hearing Xuezheng's reprimand, Chen Dalang opened his mouth to defend himself, but he had not completely gotten rid of his image as a little rogue. Can they believe what he said?
Thinking of this, he reluctantly closed his mouth.
Yun Wuyuan caught Chen Dalang's expression in his eyes and said encouragingly: "Don't be afraid. Here at Shanzhang, to be honest, no one will bully you."
Chen Dalang glanced at Yu Qishi, who nodded, agreeing with Yun Wuyuan's words.
"I heard from the students' elder sisters that they work during the day and only go to school at night." Chen Dalang said with a recalling expression, "The school is located in the workshop and is brightly lit."
Tang Kaiwen couldn't help but hide his face when he heard this, wishing he could crawl through a crack in the ground.
The students they educated, such upright and professional teachers, were not as good as those who studied at night schools.
Yun Wuyuan thought for a while and asked a question: "How long have these masters been going to school, and what are the results?"
This question touched on the key point. Not only Mou Ziyi and Yu Qishi stared closely at Chen Dalang, but Tang Kaiwen no longer covered his face and stared at Chen Dalang without blinking.
"Sister has been studying for a month and I heard that I can recognize a hundred characters." Chen Dalang fell into deep thought and said after thinking for a while.
Mou Ziyi, Tang Kaiwen and others could not help but be stunned, completely subverting their resemblance.
Yun Wuyuan felt that Chen Dalang didn't answer completely, so he continued to ask: "How long does your sister study every day?"
"Sister works during the day and can study for up to two hours at night." Chen Dalang thought for a while and answered honestly.
Mou Ziyi and Tang Kaiwen couldn't help but be stunned. They studied the school well and studied for four to five hours.
"It seems that there is indeed a talented person in this world. In just one month, he knows a hundred words." When Yun Wuyuan said this, he couldn't help but look at Mou Ziyi provocatively.
Mou Ziyi couldn't help but frown. Are there really talented people in this world?
He didn't believe it before, but Chen Dalang's performance surprised him.
Unexpectedly, Chen Dalang's two sisters, who worked in the workshop during the day and studied at night, actually surpassed their younger brothers.
When Tang Kaiwen heard this, he originally thought that the talented boy was complacent, but he did not expect that their sister was even more talented.
Yun Wuwu suddenly saluted Yu Qishi and said, "Shan Chief, can the school open a girls' class?"
Faced with such a genius, Yun Wuwu couldn't help but lose his love for talent.
However, this is a girl, and the situation is quite special, so he suggested to the mountain leader to open a girls' class.
Yu Qishi fell into thinking. After all, the Song Dynasty had never set up a girls' class in a school.
"Chen Dalang, your sister is studying at night school," Mou Ziyi rolled his eyes and asked, "How did the master teach you?"
He never believed in the idea of genius. After all, the Chen family and Zhang family brothers and sisters were all geniuses, so it seemed unlikely.
Why are there so many geniuses? There must be something wrong with them.
Mou Ziyi has been thinking about this issue and feels that the Master at Night School should have a unique way of teaching and educating people, so he asked this question.
"Yexue School uses pinyin for literacy." Chen Dalang thought for a while and decided to tell him the literacy method. Anyway, Master Yang and his sister did not prohibit him from telling it.
"Learn Pinyin?" Mou Ziyi couldn't help turning his head to Yun Wuwu and Tang Kaiwen. The two shook their heads, indicating that they had never heard of it.
Mou Ziyi saw Chen Dalang's frightened look and knew that his stern tone not long ago had frightened him.
His expression softened, his tone was as gentle as possible, and he asked: "Do you have these books? Can you let me take a look?"
Chen Dalang had some fear on his face and couldn't help but look at Yun Wuwen. Of course, Yun Wuwen wanted to see it too, so he nodded.
Chen Dalang carefully took out a book from his arms and handed it to Tang Kaiwen.
Tang Kaiwen couldn't help but feel happy that he had not educated this disciple in vain, and nodded with appreciation.
He took it and looked at it, and couldn't help frowning. It turned out that it was also a "Three Character Classic" that looked the same as what he had seen in the lecture hall.
After Chen Dalang handed the book to Tang Kaiwen, he kept observing his expression.
"Master, open the book, there is pinyin in it." Seeing Tang Kaiwen's frown, she knew what he was thinking and said.
Tang Kaiwen opened it and saw that the rest of the "Three Character Classic" was the same, except for some extra tadpole texts.
He didn't recognize any of these tadpole essays. After thinking about it, he decided to hand them over to the mountain chief.
Yu Qishi flipped through the pages and handed the book to Mou Ziyi without commenting.
Mou Ziyi flipped through it, but he didn't recognize it either, so he handed the book to Yun Wuwu.
Yun Wuwu turned over the pages, and he could only smile bitterly at these tadpole articles.
According to the way several people passed it around, he should have handed the book to Tang Kaiwen, but this was not the way to go.
Yun Wuyuan thought for a while. Just because they didn't know Tadpole Wen didn't mean that everyone didn't know Tadpole Wen.
He looked at Chen Dalang and asked, "How do you read these tadpole essays? Can you read them and listen to them?"
Chen Dalang took the book, nodded, and read out one by one while pointing at the tadpole text.
After Chen Dalang finished reading, Yun Wuwu and others felt like they were in the clouds.
Yun Wuwu looked at Mou Ziyi, who smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Mou Ziyi is not a master, Tang Kaiwen is a master, you should understand. When he turned his attention to Tang Kaiwen, Tang Kaiwen not only smiled bitterly, but also covered his face with his sleeves, showing no face to others.
Yun Wuyi never expected that they, the literati, would be stumped by the tadpole essay.
It is said that they are not literati, but they are all well-educated, and all of them have passed the government examinations and passed the imperial examinations.
Let’s say they are literati. Why are they so difficult to write because of these little tadpoles?
If they don’t know pinyin literacy, they can turn a blind eye to these tadpole texts.
But it turns out that these tadpole texts can help people learn to read, and the efficiency is several times higher.
Now that another school's teaching manual "The Three Character Classic" appears in Tadpole Literature, how can they turn a blind eye.
How do these tadpole texts teach people to read? He Yun Wuyue didn't understand, and he expected a few others to understand as well.
Yun Wuyuan thought for a while and decided to let Chen Dalang try to spell it out.
So he pointed to the three words "The Beginning of Man" and asked Chen Dalang to spell them out.
Chen Dalang first read out the tadpole text, then combined these tadpole texts together, and soon spelled out the three words "the beginning of man".
Yun Wuwen and the others listened carefully. Chen Dalang didn't have to bother to find the sound again and again, and just spelled it out in tadpole script.
Mou Ziyi thought for a while and said: "There is no need to look for the cut sounds for this pinyin at all, just use the familiar tadpole script. No wonder I can read quickly."
"You have to be very familiar with the characters to cut the sounds accurately, otherwise the sounds will be wrong. If you don't know more than a thousand characters, it will be difficult to cut the sounds accurately." Yun Wuwu also pointed out the difficulty of cutting the sounds.
"Pinyin and Qieyin are completely different. Even if you don't know the characters, as long as you know the tadpole script, you can spell it out." Mou Ziyi thought for a while and expressed his opinion. "No wonder they can read so quickly."
There was a wry smile on Yun Wuyuan's face, and he sighed and said, "It's a pity that I have been learning Qie Yin, not Pinyin."
"This is indeed a difficult problem. If Pinyin is not used, students who learn Qiaoyin will definitely lose to those who learn Pinyin;" Mou Ziyi took a sip of tea, his face was full of bitterness, and he could not sit on the chair, and sighed, "But if you want to Use Pinyin, I don’t know Pinyin.”
Mou Ziyi and Yun Wuwu explained the problem, and together they turned their attention to Yu Qishi.
Yu Qishi did not answer the two people's questioning glances, but took a sip of tea.
He took the "Three Character Classic" with tadpole inscriptions from his hand, flipped through it a few times, and looked at Tang Kaiwen with bright eyes.
"Originally we thought the three brothers Chen Dalang were geniuses, but now it seems it's because of their pinyin," Yu Qishi asked Tang Kaiwen. "Do you think we should use Pinyin to read Chinese characters?"
This made Tang Kaiwen very embarrassed. From his heart, he should refuse to answer, but he had to answer the mountain chief's question.
He thought for a moment, bowed his hands, and said, "I'm reporting to the mountain chief that I think pinyin should be used to teach students how to read. Unfortunately, I'm so clumsy that I don't even know pinyin."
"I am truly ashamed and ashamed of my position as Master," he said solemnly, "I am willing to resign from my position as Master."
His tone was extremely solemn, showing his serious attitude.
Mou Ziyi and Yun Wuwu couldn't help but glance at each other. If Tang Kaiwen wanted to resign, all the teachers in the school would also resign.
The reason is very simple: not a single teacher in the school knows pinyin.
If all the teachers resigned, wouldn't this school collapse?
Thinking of other things, the two couldn't help but cast their eyes on Yu Qishi, wondering if he had any way to solve this problem.
