Tianqiao and her brother Tianjun are Uncle's children. Tianqiao is very kind to her and always shares her snacks with her.

Let's eat together

Hmm

The two of them ate together and walked towards the ancestral hall.

The clan school of the Mo family is located in the ancestral hall in the west of the village. An old scholar in the village is the teacher of the school, teaching the children of the clan to study here. As an ethnic school, children from Mojia Village can enroll without paying tuition fees. However, villagers have been digging in the fields for generations, mostly hoping that their children will recognize a few big characters and be able to count and count in the future. The children came to study in the morning and went to help with their work in the afternoon. Only a few children who were expected to stay until the afternoon.

Mo Tiange and his companions entered the ancestral hall, and the room was already filled with children, ranging from six or seven years old to thirteen or fourteen years old, all boys, except for the two of them who were girls.

People believe that a woman without talent is virtuous, and the same goes for the Mo family school. The daughters of the Mo family village rarely go to school and help with household chores since dawn. Only families with well-off backgrounds send their daughters to learn a few words.

Mo Tianqiao is just like that. She is the legitimate grandson of the leader of the Mo family, and because she is the eldest granddaughter and shares the same mother as the eldest grandson, her family also highly values her. Not only did she give her name to a brother, but she was also sent to school.

She and Tiange are the only two in this generation to be named after their respective generations.

However, Mo Tiange's situation is different.

Mo Tiange's mother was originally the fourth daughter of the clan leader's family, now known as the Fourth Lady. She was not born to the wife of the clan leader, but was born outside when the clan leader was young, so the family treated her very coldly. Moreover, she was pregnant with a disease and suffered from minor illnesses all year round, which made her even more neglected.

Ten years ago, a scholar came to the village to stay here. He had seen her several times and somehow asked the clan leader to marry her. Although the clan leader did not like this daughter, he was also afraid that others would have ill intentions, so he asked her to marry and stay in the village. Unexpectedly, this scholar did not object. Before long, the two became relatives and settled down in the village.

Unfortunately, in the third year, this scholar went on a long journey but never returned.

Because her father has passed away and she is the only bloodline, Tiange not only has the surname Mo, but her name also follows her generation and she has always been raised as a boy.

When there was a commotion in the school, a cough came from the inside, and the children in the room immediately quieted down. An old man with half white hair and a dignified expression walked out from the inside.

Seeing that the students were all sitting obediently without making any noise, the old man nodded in satisfaction and took a book from the desk, saying, "Have you memorized the first paragraph of yesterday's' Disciple Rules'

The school has become even quieter. These children are just learning to read, they don't take reading seriously. Teaching ten characters is enough to teach them half of the time.

The old man frowned and called out, "Mo Tianjun, come and recite it

Mo Tianjun quickly stood up, but his face was wrinkled, not as arrogant and proud as when he bullied Mo Tiange just now.

He began to recite with great enthusiasm, "When parents call, do not delay. When parents give orders, do not be lazy. When parents teach, you must... you must listen respectfully. When parents take responsibility, you must obey

The old man nodded and said, "That's right, keep going

Winter is warm, summer is clear. In the morning, one saves, and in the evening, one becomes calm. When going out, one must report, and when going back, one must... "At this point, he scratched his head and thought for a while, but he couldn't recall it no matter how hard he tried.

Secretly looking up at the face of the master, but seeing his serious expression, he quickly lowered his head.

Hmph! "Confucius snorted coldly and said," What did you do last night? Why did you memorize so little

Mo Tianjun hesitated twice and didn't dare to answer.

Hand

Upon hearing this, Mo Tianjun's face was as bitter as gall, but he dared not disobey the master. He walked forward and cautiously extended his left hand.

Confucius held the ruler in his thin hand and patted his palm. Mo Tianjun was surprised and simply spread his hand flat, turning his head away from looking.

The ruler was lifted high and slammed heavily into his palm, causing all the children in the school to be afraid of making a sound, fearing that they would be next.

After hitting five times, Mo Tianjun's palms were already red. The teacher put away the ruler and said, "Next, Mo Tianwei

Yes. "Another child stood up and began to recite," Parents call, please don't delay. Parents give orders, don't be lazy. Parents teach, you must listen respectfully. Parents take responsibility, you must obey

The child stumbled and finally memorized it all. The teacher finally frowned and said, "Go back and memorize it, next one

Feeling Tianqiao moving back and forth, Mo Tiange whispered, "Tianqiao, what's wrong

Mo Tianqiao frowned and whispered back, "I can't recite it well either. I don't know if I can recite it all later

Hurry up and back up now, there's still time

That's right. "Mo Tianqiao quickly opened the page of the book and recited it silently in his heart.

Mo Tiange

Mo Tiange quickly stood up and said, "Yes, Master

After thinking for a moment, she began to recite: "When parents call, do not delay. When parents give orders, do not be lazy. When parents teach, listen respectfully. When parents take responsibility, obey them. Winter is warm, summer is clear. In the morning, be frugal, and in the evening, be calm. When you go out, report it, but when you go back, face it. Stay still, and do not change your career

After three years of mourning, I often mourn. My place of residence has changed, and I have lost all wine and meat. After mourning, I offer sincere sacrifices. I serve the dead as I do the living

A slight smile appeared on the teacher's face and he said, "Okay, you have memorized it very well. Today, you can start to see 'Zhizhe Di'

Yes, Master

She breathed a sigh of relief, opened the book, and read the next paragraph.

Although these children of the Mo family do not care about their academic performance, the old master has a scholarly temperament and is very strict with his studies. It is not easy to receive his approval.
