Chapter 776： Recognition

Chapter 776 Literacy

Chu Heng took a look at him and saw that his gaze was on Xiang's house, he knew it in his heart, but he didn't intervene, he just hummed and entered Xiang's house.

He called Xiang Boss, Xiang Xiao Er and Xiang Zhifu to enter the room and talked to them alone.

Du Heng always felt that the way Brother Heng looked at him just now was to remind him not to mess around. However, thinking about it, even his sister-in-law could see what he was thinking, Brother Heng probably knew it earlier.

But the other party didn't say anything, so he didn't want to stop him?

Du Heng's eyes brightened slightly.

Raising his hand, he ordered the groom to bring back water, and he, after glancing at the kitchen, got into the carriage immediately, and came out with paper, ink, pen and inkstone.

After a while, the sound of children reading and writing was heard in the yard.

Ye Muyu had just finished talking about the precautions in the kitchen and confirmed the baking progress. Hearing this sound, he looked up from the window and looked out.

It turned out that Du Heng was teaching the children to read.

She thought of the other party's plan, and couldn't help chuckling.

The eldest daughter-in-law of the Xiang family saw her own child sitting there, her eyes slightly brightened: "My tiger is so old and can study? That brat, I'm afraid he just followed the fool."

"There is no one who dislikes being late in learning and reading. In the future, the fungus business will start. If you can't read, you will be deceived by others?" Ye Muyu knew that they understood this truth, but the family didn't have the money to bear it.

She suggested: "You don't need to use paper, ink, brush and inkstone. You can write on the sand table with a branch first, and get to know each other first. As for writing, you can practice later. Don't worry."

"But, what is this sand table?"

"It's just the sand on the river beach, put it in a pile in a wooden box, and smooth it out after writing all the words." After Ye Muyu finished speaking, she looked at Du Heng outside and said with a smile: "Big Cousin, I'll let Young Master Du tell you. "

"That won't work, it's too much trouble for him." The eldest daughter-in-law of the Xiang family subconsciously waved her hand.

Ye Muyu smiled and said: "I think he is quite happy."

After speaking, he went out and told Du Heng about it.

The eldest daughter-in-law of the Xiang family who followed behind was a little nervous, for fear of making him angry.

When Du Heng met, he didn't understand that his sister-in-law was creating opportunities for him. He immediately smiled very gently: "Sister-in-law, this is a simple matter. Although writing with a branch will affect the ability to use a writing brush in the future, but first learn to write and recognize, and wait for the conditions later. Well, it’s not too difficult to practice writing slowly.”

"However, if you want to take the imperial examination, you need to practice early. I will teach the children how to hold the pen. As long as they are really willing to learn, even if it is a tree branch, it will not affect writing."

Du Heng speaks frankly, but also feels that Xiang's family members have a simple personality, and they are more willing to listen to the truth than to tell those falsehoods.

Sure enough, Xiang Zhifu who had just come out of the next room heard his words and nodded immediately: "Young Master Du is right, we poor people have no money to study, so it is good if we can read. If you want to study, you can study hard no matter how hard it is. If you don’t want to study, no matter how good the conditions are, you can’t get in. You can’t force it.”

"Hu Zi, Da Zhuang, Xiao Gao, Da Niu, Hua Er, if you want to study hard, even if you only know your own name, that's good."

"Your uncle gave grandpa a book for recognizing characters. During this period of time, you should first learn how to use this book. In the future, even if uncle and the others go home, you can continue to recognize characters."

"Ah Heng, I'm afraid I will trouble you during this time."
