Today is Zhou Yu's second day of teaching, but after what happened yesterday, none of the students sitting below made any small moves today. They were all listening to Zhou Yu's lectures seriously.
Yesterday, Zhou Yu had the intention of being free of charge and planned to finish teaching in one day. She had no intention of continuing to teach. But when these people came today, she had to change her attitude, so she taught even more seriously than yesterday.
Qin Ke, who is known as the little devil in the world, looked at Zhou Yu's face and felt that he was very guilty, and he didn't know why.
His father had hired several gentlemen for him before, but none of them gave him the same feeling as Zhou Yu. The most important thing was that they were younger than him. What was the reason?
Even Qin Ke is like this, let alone others.
After Zhou Yu finished teaching the first learning method behind the Three-Character Classic, he let them review it by themselves while she walked down from the podium above and randomly selected it.
"You, yes, it's you Lin Ning, read me what you just learned on the blackboard."
Lin Ning suddenly became nervous when he saw his name being called. He remembered that three years ago, when he was thirteen years old, he took a group of brothers to a brothel to drink wine and was caught by his father. At that time, he was not afraid. Now, When Er heard Zhou Yu asking him to read what was on the blackboard, he suddenly felt a little scared.
But since he was called, he couldn't hide away. He stood up and read what was on the blackboard. Fortunately, he had listened carefully to the class and learned all the above content.
In order not to put pressure on Lin Ning, Zhou Yu walked back to the podium and listened to Lin Ning read what he had taught.
After Lin Ning finished reading the above content, Zhou Yu looked at Lin Ning.
"How do you think you learned?"
"It's... not bad."
"Fuck it!"
Zhou Yu uttered a curse word, and the forty people sitting below were startled. They had never heard Mr. Dang swear before.
Zhou Yu took a stick and pointed on the blackboard, pointing out six places.
"You have pronounced these words wrong. I asked you whether you paid attention in class. I have been teaching you for so long and you still pronounce them wrong. Please, I just asked you to read them, not memorize them."
Sweat broke out on Lin Ning's head.
After counting the number of people, Zhou Yu asked people to sit down, and then glanced at the people sitting underneath.
All of them were either looking down at the floor, or looking away, or not looking at Zhou Yu, for fear of being pointed out by Zhou Yu. They were no better than Lin Ning.
Seeing this look, Zhou Yu stopped asking anyone to read him. It looked like he was all the same.
Zhou Yu returned to the house yesterday and had already inquired with the old housekeeper. These young ladies are all well-known playboys in Kyoto City. Fortunately, they are just messing around on their own and have never heard of them bullying the people. .
This is one of the reasons why Zhou Yu is willing to teach them carefully. If these people bully men and women and oppress the people all day long, you can see whether she will teach them well.
However, Zhou Yu also felt that the emperor would not be so unreliable and would bring such a person to her to teach him.
"I didn't give you any homework yesterday. When you go back today, you can memorize all the Three-Character Sutra and write it thoroughly. I'm going to memorize it from memory tomorrow."
Upon hearing Zhou Yu's words, those who knew the Three Character Classic in the past breathed a sigh of relief. They already knew it, so it was not difficult to write it silently. However, those who didn't know how to read it became nervous and thought that they should read it carefully when they go back.
After Zhou Yu finished speaking, he taught them the second method. By the time he finished teaching the two methods, Zhou Yu's mouth was already dry.
However, Zhou Yu was also glad that the emperor only asked her to teach these three enlightenment books and not other books, otherwise she would have had a headache.
But Zhou Yu felt that it was necessary for her to add arithmetic. Ordinary people are inseparable from arithmetic in their lives, ranging from selling a few eggs to selling grain. If you don't know how to settle accounts, you will easily be cheated by others.
This kind of thing happens from time to time among the people, and she has encountered it many times.
But it was not up to her to decide whether to teach or not. She had to report it to the emperor first.
So after coming out of Sifang Academy today, Zhou Yu didn't go back home. Instead, he asked Yin Jian to drive the carriage to the palace.
Zhou Yu felt that she had been here to teach at Sifang Academy for a long time, and there was nothing to do if she brought the girl Ye'er over, so she left her to work in the house. At this moment, Zhou Yu was the only one in the carriage.
When the carriage arrived at the palace gate, Yin Jian stepped forward and announced his name as the Lord of Jiahe County, and he was invited in by the imperial guard guarding the gate.
"County Master, the Emperor has given instructions. If the County Master enters the palace, there is no need to send a message. He can directly ask his subordinates to take you in."
Zhou Yu really doesn’t know this because she hasn’t heard of it, but considering that she has never been to the palace these days, it’s normal that she doesn’t know.
Zhou Yu didn't think it was anything, but she didn't know that there weren't many people in the entire Zhou Dynasty who had such privileges.
Now there are only two people, King An and the eldest princess, who can come to the palace gate without notification. Now there is another one like her. Even Princess Chaoyang does not have this honor.
When Zhou Yu arrived at the door of the royal study, Eunuch Mao was already waiting there.
"County Master, the Emperor heard that you were coming and asked this old servant to wait at the door. County Master, please."
"Thank you, Eunuch Mao."
Zhou Yu followed Eunuch Mao into the royal study. First he greeted the emperor, and when he got up, the emperor gave him a seat.
"I wonder why Jiahe came to the palace this time?"
"When I return to the emperor, I think that if you want to educate the people of Dazhou, it is necessary to add another course."
"Oh, I wonder what course it is?"
"Arithmetic, I think this course must be learned. Ordinary people need to use arithmetic when buying and selling things. We don't need to teach it too deeply. Arithmetic within a thousand is enough."
In fact, it is not that the emperor has never thought about this, but the complexity of arithmetic is not simple at all. It would take several months to learn it well. It's okay to let ordinary people delay ten or twenty days to listen to your lectures, but asking them to delay several months to learn from you is not realistic even for the emperor.
Ordinary people have to do a lot of things every day. They also have to maintain their families' livelihood and go out to find work to earn money. How can they have so much free time to waste.
"I've thought about it, but I just took too long to learn arithmetic."
"Go back to the Emperor, let's go to the Concubine's Association. The Concubine's Association does not require an abacus for mental arithmetic, and it doesn't take long to learn. It only takes a few days."
When Zhou Yu said this, both the emperor and Eunuch Mao were surprised. They didn't know Zhou Yu could do arithmetic, but they thought again that before Zhou Yan returned to the Zhou family, Zhou Yu was in charge of all the family's accounts. , if she can't do arithmetic, how can she manage it.
The emperor did not ask Zhou Yu what kind of teaching he planned to teach. He had confidence in Zhou Yu and laughed twice before saying a good word.
"Okay, I believe Jiahe has this ability."
"My daughter will not disappoint the emperor."
There are too many things going on at home these days, so updates are irregular, but I will not stop updating.
