Happy Little Scholar

Chapter 139: Asking for a Letter

"Disciple rules, sages' instructions, filial piety and brotherhood, sincere faith..., Sugar Snowball?"

The middle-aged man stopped and listened carefully to what the child was memorizing, with a trace of doubt on his face.

This three-character rhyme is catchy and catchy. Although the text is simple and popular, almost vernacular, but if you listen carefully, it seems to have the effect of enlightenment and rectification. It is perfect for teaching children to enlighten their minds.

There are similar texts on training Mongolians, but they are relatively obscure. Those that are so simple and easy to understand are rare.

Moreover, he had never heard of the article that the child memorized.

Besides...what is that sugar snowball?

After standing outside the courtyard and listening for a moment, the child repeated those few sentences over and over again. The middle-aged man had thought of something at this moment, with a trace of eagerness on his face, and strode in.

The naughty child held the paper in his hand and carried it on his back. The only words he repeated in his mouth were "sugar snowball".

Drooling, I heard the sound of footsteps and looked up to see a stranger walking into the yard.

The naughty boy looked at him blankly, with a trace of reserve on his face.

"Little baby, what article did you recite just now?" Magistrate Dong walked up to the naughty child and asked pleasantly.

Dad said that all the people who lived in the palace were nobles, and he was told to only play in the wing room on weekdays and not to bump into others. He stared blankly at the stranger in front of him without answering, and obediently put the paper in his hand. Passed it over.

Magistrate Dong took a piece of paper from the naughty boy's hand and found that there were only a few sentences written on it. After reading a few lines of content, his eyes lit up and he asked eagerly: "Do you know Who wrote this?"

Butler Wang was still in the room checking the accounts when the door was pushed open again. When he looked up, he saw the naughty kid's head peeking in from the door again.

When I lowered my head again, I suddenly forgot where I had just calculated...

A trace of sullenness appeared on his face, he glared at the naughty child and said, "Have you learned how to memorize it? If you don't know how to memorize it, be careful of your butt..."

At this time, a hand stretched out from behind the naughty boy and pushed the door completely open, and a familiar-looking middle-aged man walked in from the outside.

Seeing that person, Steward Wang was stunned for a moment, then stood up from his seat suddenly, his face was pale, and he said in a trembling voice: "Dong, Prefect Dong..."

He was afraid at this moment. Could it be that this little bastard had bumped into Magistrate Dong, and he was here to punish him?

Thinking of this, Shopkeeper Wang's legs suddenly became weak and he almost collapsed on the chair again.

"Let me ask you, this three-character rhyme was written by you, but is there anything more to it?" Magistrate Dong had no time to talk nonsense with him, so he walked up to him with the piece of paper and asked.

"Three-character rhyme?"

Steward Wang stared blankly at the paper he had just written to the naughty kid in the hands of Magistrate Dong, and then looked at Magistrate Dong's face. He felt a little relieved, as long as he was not here to accuse the army...

Thinking of this, he immediately changed his expression and explained with a smile on his face.

"I didn't expect there to be such talented people in a small mountain village." After hearing this, Magistrate Dong stroked the short beard on his chin and said in admiration.

With his knowledge, he can naturally see the meaning contained in these few sentences.

This is clearly a Mongolian text that teaches children to learn etiquette. If they don’t learn etiquette, they can’t stand up. Teaching them to develop a honest and kind-hearted nature from an early age, educating their children to do their best, guarding against evil and being sincere, is also conducive to developing good moral character. Family tradition and academic style.

If this article can be promoted, it will definitely be a great contribution to education, and it will be a good thing that will last forever. Not only will the problems he faces be solved, but if he really makes some achievements, I am afraid there is still a small chance that he will leave his name in history. …

As an official, who doesn’t desire to leave a mark in the history books? To achieve this based on other political achievements alone is tantamount to reaching the sky, but the contribution of education can affect future generations!

When he thought of this, even with his temperament, he couldn't help but feel a little excited at this moment.

"Do you know the entire article?" Magistrate Dong looked at Butler Wang with burning eyes and asked.

At this moment, he urgently wanted to know whether this article was what he imagined. It was an excellent article to educate Mongolians, so as not to waste time rejoicing.

"Sir, I only listened to these ten sentences that day. Is there more than just this article?" Wang Butler answered honestly.

Magistrate Dong looked at him, pondered for a moment and said, "Send someone to ask Mr. Cunxue again. If it is true, be sure to bring back the entire article and send it to the government office."

The housekeeper of the palace can be regarded as a number one person outside, but in front of the Qing'an prefect, he can only nod his head in approval.

In order to show that he attached great importance to this matter, as soon as Magistrate Dong left, Butler Wang hurriedly left the palace and ordered the servants who were driving to hurry up and try to get the matter done in the shortest possible time.

…………

Liuyezhai, outside the school, Qin Qing was slightly surprised when she saw Butler Wang again and learned that he was not looking for her brother-in-law but for herself.

She had some impression of Butler Wang. She only knew that he seemed to be a friend of her brother-in-law. She saw the two of them talking by the stream a few days ago. She didn't neglect him. She was just slightly surprised when he told him the purpose of coming here.

"What you just said is this "Disciple Rules"?"

Qin Qing returned to the school and took out a thin book, which she wrote by herself, handed it to Butler Wang and said.

Butler Wang hurriedly took it. After turning it over, he saw that the first few sentences were exactly the same as what he heard that day. He turned over a few more pages and found that there were hundreds of sentences after them. Only then did he realize that he had heard what he heard that day. Yes, it turned out to be just a few paragraphs.

He was overjoyed, now he could finally give a mission to Magistrate Dong.

"I wonder if Miss, can you give me a copy of the original text of the Disciple Rules?" He looked at Qin Qing and asked eagerly.

Hearing this, Qin Qing hesitated slightly and said, "This disciple rule was not done by a little girl. I have to inquire about this matter before I can give you an answer."

"The girl didn't do it?" Butler Wang's face was stunned.

Qin Qing nodded and gave him a brief explanation.

"It turned out to be him." Steward Wang murmured a few words. He didn't expect that this article was actually written by that mean scholar. He was slightly surprised for a while, and then he said with a smile: "To be honest, I was ordered by Governor Dong. I came here to pick up the original text of the "Disciple Regulations". The magistrate highly appreciates this article. This is also a great blessing for Mr. Li! "

"Master Prefect!"

When Qin Qing heard this, she covered her mouth in surprise and couldn't help but exclaimed.

For her, who had lived here since she was a child and rarely left the village, the Anxi County Magistrate was already a high-ranking official, and even higher up, it had reached a level she could not imagine...
