Ye Muyu reached out and rubbed her head. Girls had always been more careful, not to mention Chu Ziluo, who had grown up in a sensitive and timid environment that favored boys over girls.
After calming her daughter down, she saw her happily holding a stool and laying out the paper neatly.
Ye Muyu then turned around and looked at the books on the shelf, picking them up one by one.
There were many books on the bookshelf, all of which had been flipped through countless times.
There were also many types, from classics and history to poetry and songs, and even temperament books.
Ye Muyu looked at the law book and flipped to the first page. On it was the words ‘Great Chu Law’.
She was a little surprised. She had a feeling that it was easy to find something. After reading the law, she basically understood the style of this world.
However, she did not look at it and put it aside.
She continued to search. When she found a history book that recorded Zhuge Lock’s gameplay, she opened it and placed it in front of Chu Jin.
Chu Jin was a little curious and stuck his head out to take a look. “Mother, what is this book?”
“Can you understand the words on it?” Ye Muyu asked.
Chu Jin leaned on the table and read for a while before he managed to read out some information about Zhuge Suo.
“Mom, this looks like a toy. Chu Jin stumbled through the book. Although there were a few typos, he could kind of understand the meaning.
Ye Muyu was already very satisfied. After all, this child was only five years old. In her previous life, this was the age where one would be in kindergarten.
Being able to remember so many words was already smart enough. As for the imperial examination, in her opinion, it would take a long time to accumulate. With Chu Heng around, he was equivalent to a suitable teacher. With a suitable teacher and a learning environment, there was no need to force anything else.
“You can understand?” Ye Muyu raised his eyebrows and asked.
Seeing her like this, Chu Jin instantly became anxious. “Mother, I really understand. It’s talking about a toy.”
“I don’t think so. Why don’t you memorize this paragraph and ask your grandfather? If your grandfather doesn’t understand, you can ask the teacher in the village school. If it’s really a toy, you can make it. I’m sure others will think you’re very amazing and envy you.”
Chu Jin actually wanted to make this toy. He had never seen it before, and the other children in the village had never seen it before. If he was really the first to make it… Not only did the others not only study, but they also could not compare to him in making toys!
How could those people say that he did not know how to read? “Mother, you’re right. I want to be the first to make a toy.”
“I’ll bring the book over to ask Grandpa tomorrow.”
Ye Muyu had already guessed that he might be going back on his word. She calmly reached out and took the book back from his hand. “Your father said that you can’t take this book out of the study. If you want to ask your grandfather or the headmaster, you can only ask him by memorizing it.”
“Ah?” Chu Jin did not expect that he would encounter a stumbling block before his toy plan even started. He subconsciously wanted to hold onto Ye Muyu’s leg and act coquettishly.
Ye Muyu had already left the area of his shamelessness and didn’t care about his snort at all. “If you don’t want to make this toy, then forget it. Anyway… In the future, when you meet Chu Bo and the others, they will say that you… No way… Mother can’t help you.”
“If you’re being laughed at, then you can only endure it. Only then can you be considered a man.”
Since ancient times, no matter if it was a boy or a man, they could not accept others saying that they could not do it.
Chu Jin wanted to go back on his words and not make the toy, but Ye Muyu’s words instantly ignited his fighting spirit. “No, Mother, I’ll memorize it. It’s just an essay that doesn’t exceed 100 words.. I must make Chu Bo envious of me!”
