"When you recite it now, look at the tones I marked above and recite it, just like the word "kind" has four tones, reciting "kindness".
This is quite simple, Su Shen can understand it as soon as he hears it.
"I understand, Third Sister."
Su Shen read it again, but because he had to pay attention to the pictures drawn next to it and the tones marked on it, he stumbled over a hundred words, but fortunately he read them all correctly.
Her requirements for Su Shen are not high, as long as he can recognize the characters. As for the explanations, he doesn't think it is necessary to submit them. He is not going to take the imperial examination, he just wants to recognize a few characters. Everyone requires different teaching methods. different.
"You go down and read it a few more times and try to memorize these two chapters. I will teach you the rest tomorrow night."
"Ah, are you going to teach something else tomorrow?"
Su Shen felt that he was a little dazed and his head was dizzy.
"What, you have an opinion?"
"No, no."
"There is no best. Come here now and I will teach you how to hold a pen."
Su Yu brought two brushes over and showed Su Shen how to hold the brush. Su Shen held the brush according to Su Yu's posture. The movements looked very stiff for a novice, but fortunately the posture was barely correct.
"You hold the pen and turn it left, right, up and down. It doesn't matter how you do it. Practice the flexibility of your hands first. Then you will get twice the result with half the effort when learning to write."
When Su Yu was teaching Su Shen, he never noticed that there were people standing in the dark corners on both sides of the study. One of them was one of the secret guards sent by the emperor, and the other was one of the people sent by Yu Zheng.
Originally, the secret guard sent by the emperor entered the study first. This secret guard started listening when Su Yu started teaching outside. Feeling more and more shocked, I quietly touched a corner of the room, wanting to take a closer look at how Miss Su taught me so I could tell the emperor.
The other person was sent by Yu Zheng, mainly because the secret guard sent by the emperor came in, so he followed in curiously. By the time he reported the matter to the master, he had already thought of an excuse. He came in to protect Miss Su, and the most important thing was here. It's not a room, otherwise he wouldn't dare to come in even if he had ten more courages.
The secret guard sent by the emperor glanced at the people sent by Yu Zheng. The two groups had always known each other's existence. After taking a look, they withdrew their gaze and focused all their energy on Miss Su's teaching.
Although Su Yu's alertness is not bad, it is far inferior to that of the secret guards. This is what people eat, and his hiding skills are top-notch. When he wears black and hides in the dark, his whole body becomes more frugal. , if you don’t look carefully, you can’t tell who is standing there just by taking a quick glance.
"Okay, I get it now."
After Su Yu finished speaking, he took a stone that had been prepared for a long time from the table. A thin rope was tied to the stone, and the other end was tied to Su Shen's wrist.
"Now, when you usually practice holding a pen, hang this stone on your wrist. Remember to keep your hand flat and not drop it."
The stone is not big, only half the size of an adult's fist. Hanging on the wrist, the hand has to be kept flat. It is fine for a while, but over time, the arm cannot bear it.
Soon Su Shen's hands were trembling.
"Third sister, how long will this stay?"
"You are just learning now. Take your time. Let's get here first today. Tomorrow, you can memorize and practice the posture of holding the pen at the same time. Practice like I taught you. However, I will randomly check these two articles tomorrow night. You must memorize them. , if you’re not familiar with it by then.”
Su Yu didn't say anything else, and just smiled at Su Shen. However, this smile seemed to be sideways to Su Shen, and he suddenly felt a chill on his back. He just wanted to learn a few words, and didn't think about anything else, but it seemed like It's not what he thought.
Just as he was about to go out, he suddenly thought of something and turned to look at Su Shen who was following behind him.
"Don't tell others how I teach you how to read, otherwise readers will look down on you."
I don’t know why other scholars look down on him, but since Third Sister said so, she must have a reason.
"I see."
In fact, this kind of teaching method can be regarded as a wild way for the ancients of this era. Although they can learn quickly enough, if this shortcut method is known by scholars, they will definitely be despised by them and think it is a heresy.
But Su Yu didn't want to take the first prize, and she didn't want to be famous forever. She just wanted to teach people the fastest way, so that she could save some energy. As long as people are given to the church, she doesn't care about the method.
An hour later, the secret guard who was in Su Yu's study stood in front of the emperor. Because the tone could not be written in the book, the secret guard had to report to the emperor in person.
The emperor listened to the tone of the secret guard below, and then flipped through the booklet in his hand. His eyes became brighter and brighter. Su Yu's method is good. It can quickly make people learn to read. However, if this method allows Hanlin to Those old guys in the hospital will definitely object if they find out about it, and they will definitely say that this method is not acceptable.
But the emperor has never been a stickler for rules, otherwise he wouldn't have left it to the secret guards.
After the secret guard finished reporting, he waited for the emperor's instructions. The emperor waved his hand and the secret guard retreated, then returned to the Su family to continue guarding.
Let's see first how Su Shen learned this method. If it is really good, the emperor has an idea. Except for scholars, most people in the Zhou Dynasty are illiterate. If this method is promoted throughout the country, it will not work. It is said that all people in Dazhou are literate, but 70% to 80% of people should not have a big problem.
If Su Yu knew the emperor's idea, he would definitely agree with it. This is an ancient version of the literacy campaign.
The Su family has servants, and the servants do everything in the house. Therefore, after the people from the old house come to the Su family, they have nothing to do but eat and drink three times a day and think about the property of Su Lao Er and his family. No need to do it.
The people who came now were either injured or had broken legs, and the others were a little hesitant to stay in the Su family and not go out, except for the two brothers from the third room and the villagers from the Ji family in the first room.
In the past few days, Su Jie was mostly taken care of by Su Shen, who was the eldest brother. Su Shen always agreed and took Su Jie all over the village to find other children to play with, but today Su Shen refused.
"I said you're a rebel. Why don't you take your brother with you when I ask you to?"
Su Shen hasn't told his parents about learning to read from Su Yu. He thought that just recognizing a few words was not a serious study, so it didn't matter whether he said it or not, but now he had to say it. Today It was quite stressful for him to memorize these two words and become familiar with them.
"Mom, Third Sister has promised to teach me how to read during this period, so I am very busy and have no time to take care of my brother. If I don't learn what Third Sister taught me last night today, maybe she will think I am stupid and won't teach me anymore. Anyway, You're almost done, you can take care of your brother yourself."
Su Shen was indeed very busy. When talking to his mother, he held the Three-Character Sutra in his left hand, held a brush in his right hand and turned it around from time to time, and hung a stone from his wrist.
