Farming and reading family

Gao E was stunned when she heard this.

The Jin Dynasty did not respect teachers?

Where did he get the courage and determination to disobey the Master?

Seeing Gao E's disbelief, Chen Ke whispered, "I used the Thousand Character Classic to teach them how to read, until they were able to sit in court and ask questions, and then write articles. But he said that was Chao. Could it be that he was called Jin Chao (Chao) instead of Jin Zhao (Zhao)?"

He was still a little angry after he said that.

"Then..." Gao E didn't know what to say, "Husband, didn't you think that it was a polyphonetic word?"

"Of course I thought about it. I sat in the court and asked about the truth, feeling the grandeur of heaven and earth. That was under the morning sun." Chen Ke said with some excitement.

"But the next line is 'Chuigong Pingzhang'," Gao E whispered, "Holding hands and discussing state affairs, that should be in the court."

Chen Ke looked at Gao E and thought that this was how his teacher taught him when he was a child.

Gao E didn't know much about Chen Ke's knowledge, but such a mistake seemed a little outrageous to her.

Looking at Chen Ke’s unconvinced look, doesn’t he think he is wrong?

Being attacked in the field you are good at is a double blow. Gao E didn't want to debate with Chen Ke about this at this time, so both of them remained silent.

Chen Ke was depressed for a while and said uncertainly: "Am I wrong?"

"No, it should be said that someone taught him wrongly." Gao E wanted to save some face for Chen Ke.

At least he didn't blindly think that he was right.

Chen Ke felt a little better when he heard Gao E say this. Even if he was wrong, he was taught the wrong way by others.

"However, the path to learning is long and arduous, and only by searching high and low can one obtain the true meaning. As the sage said, there must be a teacher among three people. Even if one is extremely famous, he will still listen to two children arguing about the sun." Gao E said very seriously.

Chen Ke felt much better when he heard Gao E say this: "My lady is right, I was too arrogant before."

"Learning has no boundaries, but life is limited. It is normal to have things you don't know and it is also normal to have blind spots." Gao E breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it would be a big trouble if scholars got stuck in a dead end.

Chen Ke's heart suddenly became more open-minded: "Where did you see this, my lady?"

In Chen Ke's mind, these things should have been seen from books.

"If you integrate the books my husband reads, you will have your own opinions." Gao E evaded the question.

Chen Ke didn't remember how many books there were, but he nodded seriously.

"Sir, do you feel that the Jin Dynasty has rejected you?" Gao E then mentioned the Jin Dynasty again.

"He's just a child. I won't bother with him." Chen Ke felt that he was being too narrow-minded.

"In fact, if there are some promising children among those taught by my husband, I will still be their teacher after all," Gao E said with a smile.

Chen Ke paused and his expression became serious.

He was well aware of the importance of the master-disciple relationship in officialdom. If he could really teach a few people who were famous for their achievements in the imperial examinations, he would also become famous.

In his previous life, he never passed the imperial examination, so perhaps he could have taken another path.

He became excited at the thought.

"My lady is right. Jin Chao is indeed a smart boy. He is well versed in elementary school at a young age and can remember almost everything he reads. He is a good seedling." At this time, Chen Ke had already planned to focus on training Jin Chao.

"That would be the best." Gao E thought this was a relatively safe matter.

Jin Ruyi is no ordinary person. It would be more troublesome if a rift were to arise between them because of her son.

After Chen Ke figured this out, he felt a lot more relaxed and was also thinking about how to have a better relationship with the Jin Dynasty.

Gao E didn't care about Chen Ke's little thoughts. It was normal for people to have little thoughts, as long as they were not bad.

There was snow outside, so the villagers made some bamboo weaving and daily tools in the cave.

Now that we have Mr. Lei to forge iron, we can make a lot more things.

Two days later, people in the village called out that someone was coming over here. When they went out to see, they found that it was someone from their village who was out buying things.

Luo Dagang led the way, followed by seven fully loaded carriages.

Gao E came out when she heard someone shouting outside.

The landslide slope was steep and heavy horse-drawn carts could not reach the old village, so everyone had to carry all their belongings up.

After seeing so many things, the people of Baotou Village finally felt at ease.

"Why are there seven cars?" Gao E saw Jin Ruyi coming.

Her face was painted black, her head was wrapped in a scarf, and one of her eyes was drooping for some reason, making it look like one eye was big and the other was small.

"I have some extra money from the money you gave me, so I bought some good things that sell well during the Chinese New Year. If I can sell them before the New Year, I can make some money on this trip." Jin Ruyi explained.

Gao E nodded: "Ye Linchuan has left He County."

"Yes, we met on the road." Jin Ruyi looked calm.

Gao E briefly calculated the time and realized they might actually meet on the road: "Are you feeling better now?"

Jin Ruyi didn't know what to say. She felt that after all these years, she no longer cared about Ye Linchuan at all. The reason why she lived like this was because she didn't know people well.

But seeing Ye Linchuan frustrated, her mood did improve a little.

All the things were moved to the cave where Gao'e of the Chen family lived, and then the Chen family sorted them out themselves.

Jin Ruyi then took out the account book, which included the income from selling dried bamboo shoots, fresh bamboo shoots and pearls, detailed expenses on the road, and the cashier receipt issued by the other party's shopkeeper when making purchases.

Gao E felt that she didn't do as well as Jin Ruyi.

"Where do the pearls in the village come from?" Jin Ruyi saw his wife was about to close the account book after reading it.

"The flood washed down some river clams with pearls inside, but pearl-bearing clams are rare." Gao E looked at Jin Ruyi. "What's the problem?"

"When the emperor was in the capital, he did not like luxury, and most of the women in the capital were simple. Now that the court is stable, women love beauty and like pearls. The shop owner wanted to buy from me for a long time because he saw that I have pearls." Jin Ruyi thought this was a good business, but it was a pity that it was only acquired by chance.

Gao E nodded: "Not yet."

Jin Ruyi didn't know why the lady said temporarily: "And..." She said uncertainly, "The control over mulberry silkworms is getting more and more relaxed. I guess the court will relax the control over mulberry and hemp in two years."

"How did you figure that out?" Gao E thought that the court probably hadn't issued such an order at that time.

"More and more people are wearing it." Jin Ruyi said simply.

Gao E nodded and said, "In that case, I plan to buy some sloping land to plant mulberry trees. You can take a couple of days off, and then we can go to He County together."

Jin Ruyi nodded.

Jin Ruyi left and Lei squeezed in mysteriously.

"Second sister-in-law, are you having a hard time?" Lei sat down next to her second sister-in-law.

"What's wrong?" Gao E saw Lei being so exaggerated.

"Why buy so much cloth?" Lei whispered.

"I want to give new clothes to everyone in the village during the New Year." Gao E thought the weather was too cold now.

Lei's eyes widened, confirming that her second sister-in-law was not going to make ends meet. "If your second sister-in-law really does this, they'll think you have more money than you can spend."
