In order to change her current situation, Cinderella washed off the dirt on her face, changed her appearance, and with the help of a merchant, put on the clothes he brought her and entered the flower-viewing party.

Cinderella was beautiful and was noticed by the heir of a noble family as soon as she entered the garden.

The young talent fell in love with Cinderella at first sight.

Cinderella disappeared after leaving the flower viewing party.

The eldest princess, born to the vicious queen, fell in love with the nobleman from a prominent family. She tried to find someone from the common people to disguise herself as Cinderella, but she was seen through by the nobleman.

After a long search, the nobleman found out that Cinderella was actually a princess of the royal family.

After his repeated requests, he finally got to marry Princess Cinderella as he wished.

If the story had followed the Grimm's fairy tale, it would have almost ended here, and the ending should have been a happy marriage between Cinderella and the nobleman from a prominent family.

But the story in the textbook written by Mu Qing only reaches two-thirds of the original text.

Cinderella was not happy in her married life with the nobleman.

It turns out that the aristocratic families are not as glorious as Cinderella imagined, and they are not favored by the emperor.

The heir to this aristocratic family later obtained his official position through inheritance.

This dynasty still had the system of hereditary nobility and official positions. From the emperor and feudal lords to dukes, ministers, and scholars, their titles, fiefs, and official positions were all inherited from father to son.

However, the noble family to which the young master belongs has never had anyone who has passed the imperial examination to become an official, and the family has almost no say in the court. When the title is passed to him, it is very likely that the title will be downgraded by one level.

He wanted to marry Cinderella not only because of her beauty, but more for his own interests.

Before Cinderella attended the flower viewing party, he learned the princess's identity and the rich dowry left for her by her biological mother.

This paved the way for love at first sight.

And the merchant was not kind enough to lend the dress to Cinderella.

Businessmen value profit over separation.

It's just a rare commodity.

Cinderella is beautiful and has a high chance of marrying into a wealthy family. The businessmen see the investment value in her and therefore provide help to Cinderella.

And Cinderella herself also wants to escape from the royal fire.

I didn't expect that I would jump out of this fire pit and fall into another one.

The noble family thought that they could win the emperor's favor by marrying Cinderella, but Cinderella was not favored. The nobleman's plan failed, and he tore off his gentle mask and beat and scolded Cinderella all day long.

The wicked queen thought that Cinderella had married into a good family, and was anxious to marry off her two princesses. However, she did not expect that there was a war and foreign invasion at that time, so the emperor decided to send the two princesses to marry in order to gain the friendship of the foreign tribes.

The story really ends here.

Throughout the article, in order to serve as a textbook example, it is basically written in plain language.

The story of "Cinderella and the Wicked Queen" was undoubtedly regarded as gossip by the people in the literacy class.

The intrigues involved are much more complicated than the gossip at the village entrance.

There are also many storybooks in this world, but the styles of the storybooks are monotonous and not as good as the novels that Mu Qing had read before. In addition, storybooks are basically just a pastime for rich people.

Most of the stories that ordinary people come into contact with are folk stories that are passed down orally.

"Cinderella and the Wicked Queen" has all the melodramatic elements such as palace fighting, vests, and real and fake daughters.

The whole story is full of ups and downs and twists and turns, so the people in the literacy class are naturally very interested in it.

The stories in the textbooks are limited in length, and some plot details, such as why the young master did not marry the eldest princess, are not clearly stated.

However, precisely because the article is short and the plot is concentrated, "Cinderella and the Evil Queen" became popular throughout Guangsha at an exponential speed.

As long as someone attended the literacy class and told the story back home or in his or her own village, the whole street or village would know the story the next day.

In order to motivate them to study harder, Mu Qing not only adapted the story of Cinderella, but also the story of The Little Mermaid, Little Red Riding Hood, etc.

Whether it is Grimm's Fairy Tales or Andersen's Fairy Tales, they can be adapted into reading materials suitable for the people of the four cities by changing the background.

The main purpose of the story "Cinderella and the Wicked Queen" is to speed up the literacy process.

The second is to allow the people to gradually free themselves from the control of imperial power and stimulate their own thinking.

For example, Cinderella chose to get married in order to escape the royal family, but what did marriage bring her? She did not gain happiness. Instead, because of the noble man, her life was still miserable.

If you meet the wrong person, it’s better not to marry.

Or it could be "The world is bustling with people, all for the sake of profit; the world is in turmoil, all for the sake of profit." and other such truths.

The second class of the literacy class was rarely full, and there were even many people standing at the back of the classroom to listen.

"You know a few words now, but don't be unable to recognize even a hundred words."

"Oh, how can that be? I'm still waiting to hear a story. I told the villagers the story of Cinderella. They all listened with great interest and asked me to learn more and tell them back."

"You even used the word 'with relish'. It's an idiom, right?"

"Yes, I can tell you didn't pay attention in the last class."

……

The learning atmosphere in the literacy class is very lively. Everyone is either discussing "Cinderella and the Wicked Queen" or talking about their own recent learning progress.

This class is still taught by Xiao Lingyao.

When the bell rang, everyone fell silent.

Xiao Lingyao looked at the people of Guangsha who were sitting upright, and silently wrote the four words "Daughter of the Sea" on the blackboard:

“This story begins far away.

There is a small island in the sea far away from Guangsha. The people on the island make a living by fishing. The island is isolated from the world. There is a fisherman's daughter on the island who is not only extremely beautiful, but also has a perfect voice. The tunes she sings are like the sound of nature..."

Xiao Lingyao was reading the textbook, and the people sitting in their seats were concentrating, and were gradually brought into the magical island.

Xiao Lingyao suddenly stopped when he got to the key point:

"Let's stop here for the story. Now let's take a test to test what we learned in the last class."

As soon as Xiao Lingyao's voice came out, there were mostly wailing sounds among the people. Just like ordinary students, everyone has a natural fear of tests and exams.

It was very frustrating when they got stuck at the exciting part, but they couldn't recognize the words in the textbook and had no idea what the story would be about next. They could only complain and take out paper.

Xiao Lingyao's trick works every time. Whether it's a test or learning new words, she will stop at certain plot points.

After the literacy class changed its story teaching materials, within a month, people among the Guangsha people began to take the initiative to learn.
