The bell rang for the class, and the little girls who were just chatting together immediately returned to their respective seats and sat down, looking at the door with bright eyes.

   I heard that the teacher of this class is a female gentleman who applied for the job, and her grades ranked first, so she was assigned to teach them in the Plum Wing class.

  The little girls were all sitting on the stools, waiting with anticipation, and then Li Baolu walked in with a book in their arms and went to the podium to everyone's astonished eyes.

  Wan Er was also surprised to see Li Baolu, and then turned to look at the fourth sister who was beside her with her head lowered and did not dare to raise her head. She finally understood why she came to the academy today with a tangled look that was both excited and worried.

  Wan Er stared at Li Baolu in a daze, because the questions in the academy exam were too simple, or because she was so knowledgeable that not only was she able to pass the exam, but she was also able to get in first place.

Li Baolu put the textbook on the table and said to the thirty students in the class who were stunned: "I know you are shocked, but I am actually quite shocked. My original purpose was to teach first-level students. They are only eight or nine years old. , younger than me, I don't think it's difficult to restrain them."

"But there are very few academy gentlemen, especially in your advanced history courses, arithmetic courses and courses involving martial arts, there is not a single female gentleman who can take the position, and the male gentlemen's main energy is still on the men's academy. So even though I'm the same age as you, the academy still arranged for me to come here."

Li Baolu smiled at the stunned students and said, "Since we are the same age, then I can no longer suppress you with age, but only with knowledge. Children, you are sitting in this classroom, do you know why we study history? "

   Being called a child by a girl of almost the same age is not such a beautiful thing, but looking at Li Baolu with a small face and smiling at them, everyone didn't feel disgusted, but found it funny.

  The students did burst into laughter, and compared to the disciplined class they took, this class was as noisy as a wet market.

"Why do we want to study history? Of course it's because of the school's arrangement," a girl covered her lips and laughed, not talking with a sharp voice to the girls at the front and back tables, "Can we still freely choose what we want to study? Failed the course?"

"Yes, yes, isn't this nonsense?" Yong Mei's class exploded, and the girls at the front, back, left and right tables gathered together, secretly glaring at Li Baolu, while covering their mouths and laughing, not hiding at all. Talk about her in front of her.

  Wan Er couldn't help but smile, but when he raised his head to look at Li Baolu, he found that she was looking at them with a smile that never seemed to change.

   She was slightly startled, then ignored the third sister who was pulling her to speak.

  Wan Si didn't say anything. She felt that Li Baolu was not easy to provoke. Besides, she had already offended her before, so how could she provoke her at this time?

   Seeing Sanjie's unscrupulous appearance, she couldn't help reaching out to grab her clothes, motioning her to be quieter.

  Li Baolu's gaze swept across the two Wan family sisters, and then turned to the left corner of the classroom, where two little girls were sitting, frowning disapprovingly at the classmates in the classroom, not talking as loudly as they did.

  Li Baolu opened the roster on the side and found their names, one was Ouyang Qing and the other was Zheng Dan.

  Li Baolu wrote down their names. Seeing that there was no intention of quieting down in the class, she simply took the roster and identified people on it.

  The roster is compiled according to where they sit, so it’s easy to see at a glance.

   After reading it twice, she recognized all the people and names, and combined with the official family records she had read before, she was barely able to guess the mountain behind these young ladies.

  Wan Er saw that Li Baolu was looking at something with a smile on his lips, his heart skipped a beat, he quickly pulled his third sister, and glared at her secretly and whispered, "Be quiet, are you really going to make trouble in front of grandma?"

Wan San was startled and turned to look at Li Baolu on the podium. Seeing her eyes shining brightly and looking at her with a smile on the corner of her mouth, she couldn't help shivering, the smile on her face disappeared, and she didn't dare to talk to the people next to her. Talk high.

   The people around her quickly noticed her abnormality, and looked at the podium subconsciously, her expression couldn't help but her heart was beating violently, she was going to die, how could she forget that she was a husband, even if she was young, she was also a husband.

  Other people gradually noticed the abnormal atmosphere, and gradually became quiet, and the classroom immediately fell into a strange silence.

  Zhu Fanghua was just too excited and said too much. At this time, his throat was a little dry and itchy. When he looked up and saw Li Baolu pretending to stand behind the podium and glance at them, he couldn't help but pouted.

   If she had not promised her mother not to be top-notch and not to cause trouble, she would have gotten up and went to the tea room to ask for tea.

   She talked a lot just now, but she wasn't worried. After all, everyone was arguing just now, and the law was not to blame. Could she still single her out for training?

   There are not many people who think the same as Zhu Fanghua. Although they quieted down, the little girls still rolled their eyes, and there were very few people who bowed their heads in real shame.

  Li Baolu closed the roster, nodded and smiled: "Very good, the first time we met, you let me see your upbringing."

   Everyone frowned and looked at Li Baolu with a hint of anger.

"The examination of the academy is divided into five grades. I thought that if you were admitted to the third grade, you had already read the "Three Character Classic", "The Analects of Confucius" and other basic books, but now it seems that I overestimated you, or you all these years. Studying at home only learns its actions, not its principles?"

   Everyone looked at her in confusion, but Wan Er could not help clenching his fists and rubbing the corners of his clothes at a loss.

   "I thought that respecting teachers and valuing the Tao was something that should be learned at the beginning of enlightenment. Haven't your parents, your former husband taught you?"

   Everyone bowed their heads, no matter whether they were convinced or not, no one dared to refute Li Baolu at this moment.

  The teacher is the leader and the leader is the respect. No matter how much they look down on her and question her, when she is still their teacher, they have to respect her, at least the behavior just now is impossible.

   They all entered the Qingxi Academy with great efforts, and no one dared to gamble on their future and their studies.

They were ready to be scolded and scolded by Li Baolu, but who knew she did not scold them, but raised the book in her hand and said, "Why should we study history? Tang Taizong once said that reading history is fun Replacement, but is it as simple as knowing the rise and fall?"

"Nowadays, the ethics we adhere to are all set up by our ancestors after they improved from generation to generation, rulers and ministers, fathers and sons, husbands and wives, and brothers, which extend to clan, marriage, and laws. This is humanities, and in addition to technology, this pile of Every item can be seen and studied from history. The development of a country and society is, in the final analysis, the development of science and technology and humanities. Whether more advanced technology can be researched and whether it can formulate rules and relationships more suitable for human development? Everything is based on history."

  Li Baolu shook the textbook in her hand, looked at them with a sullen look, and said, "Do you still think history is necessary?"

   A little girl said in a daze: "But what does this have to do with us, and I can't participate in government affairs."

   "Then what do you think you can do?" Li Baolu looked at her calmly and asked with a slight smile.

   The little girl bowed her head a little embarrassedly and said, "I, I can't do anything, I will do whatever the family asks me to do."

   "Well, you're a good boy," Li Baolu thought about it: "Then what do your parents want you to do?"

   The little girl blushed and did not speak.

  Li Baolu smiled and said, "Liu Ya, you are thirteen this year, is your mother going to start kissing you?"

   Liu Ya blushed, and asked Nuo Nuo, "How do you know my name, sir?"

   "You are my student, how could I not know your name?" Li Baolu looked at her seriously and asked, "Your mother sent you to the academy, she probably wanted to give you a better marriage, right?"

  Li Baolu's gaze swept across the rest of the people, "I think everyone here is here for this purpose, right?"

   All the little girls blushed and lowered their heads to say nothing, but they couldn't help but go crazy. It's really shameless for a gentleman to tell such a shameful thing in court.

   "And then?" Li Baolu asked them, "After marrying a good husband, they will teach their children to each other. When the children grow up, they will treat them like your parents treat you today, and let them become biological children and inherit the lineage?"

   "Wait until after death, or perish between heaven and earth, or forget the past and reincarnate? But for you guys like this, is there any difference between living and dying?"

  The girls looked at Li Baolu in shock.

  Li Baolu picked up a piece of chalk and wrote on the blackboard the famous question that countless people in later generations thought about but did not have a specific answer, "Who am I, where did I come from, and where do I go?"

"The biggest difference between people and animals is that people can think, children, I want you to be a human, not a beast like a marionette. I'm not asking you to oppose something, to fight something, but to Tell you, you are human! I hope your future life can be more glorious, at least when you face death, you can know why you came to this world and have no regrets in this life?"

  Wan Er stiffened his back and asked, "Does that gentleman know why he came to this world?"

   "I know," Li Baolu said with a smile: "For one person and one mission. You can also think about why you were born and live. You can think about this matter slowly and not in a hurry."

  The students stared blankly at the three questions on the blackboard, but their hearts were not calm.

  Li Baolu didn't throw any more questions to them, saying that they couldn't accept it any more, so it's better to take it slow.

  Li Baolu can understand their daze, because she was like this when she was as old as them in her previous life.

   At that time, she had many ideals. She wanted to be the kind of scientist who is admired by thousands of people, even wanted to be a policeman, wanted to be a soldier, but in the end, she became a teacher, or a teacher who became a teacher.

  The ideals of her youth changed day by day. When there was almost no fixed time, she was squeezed by reality and various environments, and finally chose a major that she was not very interested in.

   After graduating, I have only been doing it for less than half a year, but every day I question myself in my heart, has your life been like this, and what is the meaning of your existence?

   She was dazed at that time. Her parents and brother did not understand her dazedness, but they supported her in everything she did.

   So she resigned and went to teach, no one objected.

  She has been a teacher in that small mountain village for three years. She has only one teacher in three classes.

   It was as busy as in the city, but her heart was much more settled. She sent students away one after another, and watching them clumsily work hard to live out their own lives and splendor, she felt that her life was instantly fulfilled.
