My Ancient Stepson Bootcamp

Chapter 398
"Uncle, although my mother is a woman, her knowledge is not a pity at all, because she never hesitates to show her knowledge, not only teaching us, but also willing to write it for others to know, and my mother As soon as I have time, I will write the books I know. She said that when the academy opens, she will print all those books for everyone to see. Mother also said that since she decided to be a teacher, Then you have to preach and get rid of doubts, so that you don't waste your knowledge." Seeing that Wen Shangqing looked down on Lin Shuran, Xu Mingfan, the fourth child of the Xu family, couldn't help but said aloud.

Wen Shangqing didn't express any disgust at Xu Mingfan's sudden utterance, but turned his gaze to him, and deliberately asked, "What else did your mother say?"

Lin Shuran saw that Wen Shangqing asked Xu Mingfan, but she didn't speak up for Xu Mingfan. It was such a rare opportunity for Xu Mingfan to have the opportunity to discuss with so many scholars. She was still worried about how to get Xu Mingfan to speak up. , this happens to be an opportunity.

I saw that Xu Mingfan was not timid either. Although Wen Shangqing was Lin Shuran's eldest uncle and a world-renowned "Sage of Books", he didn't want anyone to underestimate Lin Shuran, so he retorted, and continued: "Mother still He said, "Don't worry about people who don't know themselves, but don't worry about people who don't know." The most important purpose of practicing calligraphy is to enrich our hearts and teach us to understand the world correctly. It is to form our correct three views. The so-called three views are the outlook on life, values ​​and world outlook, and then use the knowledge we have learned to benefit others. To enrich myself, I also said that reading and learning should not be just for fame and wealth, but for those more meaningful things, but now I haven’t figured out what is the most meaningful thing!”

Several people heard Xu Mingfan's sonorous and forceful words, and they all looked at him in surprise. Wen Shangqing even sat up his lazy body, looked at Xu Mingfan with serious eyes and asked, "What are these things?" Did your mother really tell you that?"

Xu Mingfan nodded with certainty, and replied loudly: "Of course, my mother taught us a lot, more than what I learned in Mr. Xixi and the Imperial College. Mother is better than those gentlemen!"

These are Xu Mingfan's sincere words from the heart, but Lin Shuran almost choked on her own saliva. How could she not know how much she weighed? Porters", how can they compare with those who are really learned.

"Brother Fan, don't talk nonsense, I'm not as good as you said, I just relayed what others taught me to you, that's all, I can't compare with my husband!" With a few brushes, she should reveal her secrets before Wen Shangqing has tried a few times.

Xu Mingfan felt that Lin Shuran was really modest, and immediately said: "Mother, I'm not talking nonsense. The knowledge and principles taught by the gentlemen of the Imperial College are not as good as what mother said. My brother and younger brothers also think so."

In fact, if Lin Shuran was not busy with many things, Xu Mingfan would not want to go to the Imperial College to study. He wanted Lin Shuran to teach him in person, and he felt that he must be better than what he learned in the Imperial College.

At this time, Lin Shuran glanced at the expressions of Wen Shangqing and the others, and found that they were all looking at him again, and they all looked very interested. It seemed that what Xu Mingfan said had successfully aroused their curiosity.

"Sister Ran, don't you want to recruit a teacher for the academy? Then use literature to make friends. As long as you show your true skills and get everyone's approval, let alone a teacher, there will be many disciples. Grand meeting, don't hide it, let the world see how capable the female mountain head of the future academy is!" Wen Shangqing suddenly changed the subject, looked at Lin Shuran in an extremely serious tone and said.

"Uncle, what do you mean, you agree to come forward to hold this literary event?" Lin Shuran heard another voice. Does Wen Shangqing's words mean that he agrees?
Wen Shangqing replied positively this time: "Let me come forward to hold this literary event, yes! However, you have to keep your promise and give me the second volume of the last two books. In addition, you must promise what I just said Things, show your true skills."

"Uncle, I can give you the second half of the book right now, but—" Lin Shuran looked at him in embarrassment, "It's just that your niece really doesn't have any great skills, especially when it comes to learning, I—"

Wen Shangqing interrupted her with a wave of his hand: "You don't need to say more, if your talents are not convincing, then how can you become the head of the academy, let the Queen Mother entrust someone else to do it."

"Mrs. Xu, don't be modest. I was convinced by your poems last time. Once the literary festival is held in the capital, there will definitely be many people who want to try your knowledge, and so will your uncle." I only said this for your sake, you can only shut up those people’s mouths with your real skills, otherwise you will definitely cause dissatisfaction and criticism from other people if you are a woman as the head of the Academy!" At this time, poet mad Liu Tong also said aside.

After the two of them said this, Lin Shuran also understood that it is not enough to have the support and edict of the Queen Mother. She still needs to convince those literati. Things have come to this point, and she has never thought of going back. It is her responsibility to run the academy. The thing she wants to do the most, so no matter how many difficulties she encounters, she will overcome them.

So she took a deep breath and said with determination: "Well, I will try my best to prove that although I am a woman, I am also capable of being the head of the academy."

"Mom, how do we prove it?" Xu Mingfan believed that Lin Shuran was very talented in terms of talent, but other people may not know it, and some people love to find fault, and they don't like other people's talent and learning to be better than theirs. Everyone is jealous.

Yes, how to prove this?It is mainly for someone to compare to prove that she is also knowledgeable. Lin Shuran also has some headaches. She can't go around looking for others to compare piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, can she? !

"Otherwise, I'll make an upper couplet first, and see if I can match the lower couplet?" Lin Shuran thought for a while and said.

"Mother, tell me first, and see if I can match the next couplet!" Xu Mingfan became curious and excited, and during the Chinese New Year, Lin Shuran would tell them some Spring Festival couplets, but they were all auspicious and festive words. It's less interesting.

At this time, Wen Shangqing and others also focused on Lin Shuran again, and wanted to hear what kind of couplet she would make.
