Chapter 103 Why are you unhappy again
Two of the eight water samples have been obtained. For the sake of safety, Hong Xiaoduo sent two water samples into the space before departure.
The carriage moved forward steadily. Although the children did not recite poems silently, they were all tracing words on their palms with their fingers.
"Are you trying so hard to get the top prize?" Hong Xiaoduo joked with them.
“Can we take the exam?” Kaiyang asked immediately.
Seeing that he asked seriously, the other children also looked at her seriously, waiting for her response.
Hong Xiaoduo opened his mouth and suddenly realized that he could not answer this question casually.
Say yes? It's very simple, but the requirements for candidates in this dynasty are also very strict, right? Can you help them do it yourself? It gave them hope when they were not sure. If the door was not open to them by then, it would be a huge blow to them, right?
If they say they can't, they will be disappointed now. Will it affect their ambition?
"I told you, I forgot a lot of things, and I have no memory at all about the imperial examination. So, I really don't know whether you can take the imperial examination in the future.
However, I want to tell you that the reason why I want to teach you to read and read is that my original intention is just to make you better. As long as you become better and do things when you grow up, you will have more choices. Rather than having to be picked on by others in order to make a living.
Say this, do you understand? "Hong Xiaoduo thought about it seriously before saying to them.
Although it is said in modern times that there is no distinction between high and low professions, as long as you work hard to support yourself with your own hands, that's fine.
But these seven children were in ancient times. People at the lowest level did not even have personal freedom. If they sold themselves as slaves and met a bad master, they would either be beaten or scolded. If they were accidentally beaten to death, they would be buried in a roll of tattered mats. It’s all over, there is a distinction between high and low here!
The six children nodded seriously, seemingly understanding, and Tianshu outside the carriage also kept her words firmly in mind. .
Looking at the children around me, the longer I spent with them, the less I dared to think about what would happen if they were sold into slavery.
So, is it enough for you to just teach them reading, literacy and arithmetic?
In addition, can you teach them anything to become irreplaceable talents that are extremely rare in this dynasty?
Hong Xiaoduo opened the window in front of the carriage: "Tianshu, have you ever heard of foreign missions?"
Tianshu immediately responded: "I have heard of it. It is said that They have yellow hair, blue eyes, high noses and hooks, and no one can understand their words.”
After saying that, she turned to look at the person in the car window curiously, wondering why she suddenly thought of asking this.
"Yellow hair? Blue eyes, hooked nose?" She repeated softly.
Hong Xiaoduo has never seen foreigners from this dynasty, and he is not sure which country Tianshu heard about.
Forget it, teach them as many foreign languages as you can when you have time.
As the saying goes, having too many skills means you can use them just in case.
"Starting tonight, I will teach you the same thing again, but you must try to keep this secret from others first, okay?" Hong Xiaoduo said to the children very seriously.
When the seven children heard this, they nodded immediately, excitedly guessing what she was going to teach them.
"Mom, why do you have so many?" Kaiyang asked with admiration.
Hong Xiaoduo raised her eyebrows and said, "Because I'm smart." After saying that, she smiled, and the children laughed too.
The laughter caused all the bodyguards in front and behind to look towards the carriage. Although they didn’t know what made the young lady and the children so happy, they would be infected just by listening to the laughter. Be in a good mood. Among the group of people on the official road, two of them were looking forward to the arrival of noon, not because they were hungry, nor because they were tired and wanted to rest.
When the sun finally reached the top of our head, we chose an open and flat place on the roadside to stop to rest and eat.
Hong Xiaoduo looked back and forth as soon as she got off the car, and met Tang Xihua who was also looking at her. He rode up to her and then turned over and dismounted.
"The young lady said she has something to ask Tang. I wonder what it is?" Tang Xihua spoke first.
Hong Xiaoduo said wait a moment and turned to look at Tianxuan Tianji accompanying Yu Heng and Yao Guang to the bushes not far away.
Seeing her like this, Tang Xihua signaled the nearest escort to follow her to protect her.
Hong Xiaoduo felt relieved and looked at Tang Xihua and asked: "Tang Biaotou, I want to take them to the beach and see the river. You must know the location after traveling all over the country, right?< br>
Or, do you have the kind of map that marks the rivers, lakes and seas? "
So this was the question, Tang Xihua nodded and responded: "Tang does have that kind of map? , but I do know the location.
If you want to take them to see the sea, the direction is the other way around. The sea is a little far away from here in the south, about ten thousand miles away. br>
As for rivers, there is one at the Great Five Pass, called Huijiang. The other side of the river is not the boundary of Fengliang Kingdom. "
"The sea is in the south, ten thousand miles away? So far? "Hong Xiaoduo was a little confused. In modern times, a distance of ten thousand miles can be reached in a few hours and a day by plane or high-speed train.
But if we use a horse-drawn carriage now, how long will it take to get there?
“It’s quite far, so do you still want to go? "Tang Xihua couldn't help but ask when he saw her worried look.
He felt that she wouldn't go when she heard about such a long distance. To describe a long distance, she always said "thousands of miles" and so on. Now The sea she wants to see is ten thousand miles away.
"Go, of course I'm going. Can you tell me the specific location, or help me draw a simple route?" Hong Xiaoduo decided to go without thinking too much.
It wasn't that she was greedy. The bracelet on her wrist and the lantern that she was very satisfied with last night made her want more black technology.
"Okay, I'll try my best to draw it in more detail. However, I may not give it to you so soon." Tang Xihua agreed immediately, not mentioning that he could buy a map with lakes and seas marked on it when he reached the Great Five Levels. .
“No rush, we don’t have to go now, just help me draw it before we leave.” Hong Xiaoduo said with a smile.
Before separation? Tang Xihua frowned slightly when he heard these words.
"I'm going to see them." Hong Xiaoduo didn't notice the other party's expression, said hello and walked towards Tianshu and the others.
Dazhi and the others saw the third senior brother coming over. They originally wanted to tease him, but they found that they looked at him from a distance and looked very happy. Why were they unhappy now?
Could it be that the little lady said something he didn’t like to hear?
Who dares to joke with Third Senior Brother like this...
