The bell rang for the start of class, and the little girls who had just chattered together immediately returned to their respective seats and sat down, looking at the door with piercing eyes.

I heard that the teacher of this class is a female student who has been recruited, and her grades are ranked first, so she was arranged to teach them Yongmei class.

The little girls were all sitting on the stools, waiting expectantly, and then Li Baolu walked in with a book in her arms, and stepped onto the podium under everyone's astonished eyes.

Wan Er was also startled when she saw Li Baolu, and then turned to look at the fourth younger sister who lowered her head and didn't dare to look up. She finally understood why she was both excited and worried when she came to the academy today.

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

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

"But there is a shortage of gentlemen in the academy, especially in your high-level history courses, arithmetic courses, and courses involving martial arts. There is not a single female teacher who can take up the post, and the main energy of the male gentlemen still has to be on the men's college. So even though I am about the same age as you, the academy still arranged for me to come here."

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

Being called a child by a girl who is almost the same age is really not a beautiful thing, but seeing Li Baolu who looked at them with a smile on his face, everyone didn't feel disgusted, but rather amused.

The students did burst out laughing. Compared with the previous disciplined class, this class was as noisy as a vegetable market.

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

"That's right, that's right, isn't this asking nonsense?" Yongmei's class exploded, and the girls at the front, back, left, and right tables gathered together, while secretly looking at Li Baolu, while covering their mouths and smiling, not hiding it at all. Talk about her to her face.

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

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

Wan Si didn't say anything, she felt that Li Baolu was not easy to provoke, not to mention she had already offended her before, so why would she provoke her now?

Seeing that the third sister had no scruples, she couldn't help reaching out to grab her clothes, signaling her to be quiet.

Li Baolu glanced past the two sisters of the Wan family, and then looked at the left corner of the classroom. There were two little girls sitting there, frowning and disapprovingly looking at the students in the classroom. They didn't talk as loudly as they did.

Li Baolu flipped through 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, and seeing that there was no sign of quieting down in class, she simply took the roster and identified them on it.

The roster is compiled according to where they sit, which is clear at a glance.

She only read it twice to recognize all the people and their names. Combined with the records of officials and family members she had read before, she could barely guess the mountains behind these rich ladies.

Seeing Li Baolu looking at something with a smile on the corner of his mouth, Wan Er couldn't help but his heart skipped a beat. He quickly grabbed Third Sister, gave her a sneaky look and said in a low voice, "Be quiet, are you really going to make a fuss in front of grandma?"

Wan San was taken aback, turned to look at Li Baolu on the podium, saw her looking at her with bright eyes and a smile on her mouth, she couldn't help but shuddered, the smile on her face disappeared, and she didn't dare to talk to the people next to her. high talk.

The people around her quickly noticed her abnormality, subconsciously looked at the podium, their expressions couldn't help but pause, their heart was beating violently, they were dying, why did they forget that she was a husband, even if she was young, she was also a husband.

The others gradually became aware of the abnormal atmosphere, and gradually quieted down. The classroom immediately fell into a strange silence.

Zhu Fanghua was too excited and talked too much just now, her throat was a little itchy at this moment, she looked up and saw Li Baolu pretending to be standing behind the podium and glanced at them, she couldn't help curling her lips.

If she hadn't promised her mother not to be top-notch and not to cause trouble, she would have gotten up and gone 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 does not blame everyone. Could it be that she can single out her to scold?

There were quite a few people who thought the same as Zhu Fanghua. Although they calmed down, the little girls still rolled their eyes, and few of them bowed their heads in shame.

Li Baolu closed the roster, nodded and said with a smile, "Very well, the first time we met, you let me see your upbringing."

Everyone frowned and looked at Li Baolu with hidden anger.

"The academy's exams are divided into five levels. I thought that you would have read basic books such as "Three Character Classics" and "The Analects of Confucius" if you could enter the third level. But now it seems that I overestimated you, or you all Studying at home only learns what to do, not what to do?"

Everyone looked at her in bewilderment, but Wan Er couldn't help but clenched his fists and rubbed the corners of his clothes helplessly.

"I thought that respecting teachers and respecting Tao is the truth that should be learned at the beginning of enlightenment. Didn't your parents, parents, and your former teachers teach you?"

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

Teachers are elders, elders are respected, no matter how much they look down on her from the bottom of their hearts, how much they question her, they have to respect her when she is their teacher, at least the behavior just now is impossible.

They all worked hard to get into Qingxi Academy, and no one dared to gamble with their future and studies.

They were ready to be scolded and scolded by Li Baolu, but she didn't scold them, but raised the book in her hand and said, "Why do we study history? Tang Taizong once said that reading history can make you happy." replacement, but is it as simple as replacement?”

"The ethics we follow today are all established by our ancestors after generations of improvements. Monarchs, fathers and sons, husbands and wives, brothers, and then extended to clans, marriages, and laws. This is humanism, in addition to technology, this pile of Each item can be glimpsed and studied from history. In the final analysis, the development of a country and society is nothing more than the development of science and technology and humanities. Whether it can research more advanced technologies and formulate rules and relationships more suitable for human development depends on Everything has to be based on history."

Li Baolu shook the textbook in her hand, looked at them with a dull look, and said, "Now do you still think that history is not necessary?"

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

"Then what do you think you can do?" Li Baolu looked at her peacefully 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 my family asks me to do."

"Well, you're a good boy," Li Baolu considered, "Then what do your parents want you to do?"

The little girl blushed and said nothing.

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

Liu Ya's face turned red, and she asked softly, "How does Mr. know my name?"

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

Li Baolu glanced across the others, "I think everyone here has this purpose in coming here, right?"

The little girls all blushed in embarrassment, lowered their heads and did not speak, but couldn't help but get mad in their hearts. It is really shameless for Mr. to bring up such a shameful thing in front of the class.

"And then?" Li Baolu asked them, "After you marry a good husband and son-in-law, you will take care of your husband and teach your children, and when your children grow up, treat them like your parents treat you today, let them get married and have children, and carry on the family line?"

"After death, either perish in the world, or forget the past and reincarnate? But for you, is there any difference between living and dying?"

The girls looked at Li Baolu blankly.

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

"The biggest difference between humans and animals is that humans can think. Children, I hope you can be a human being, not an animal like a marionette. I am not asking you to oppose or fight against anything, but to Let me tell you, you are human! I hope your future life will be more glorious, at least when you face death, you can know why you came to this world, and whether you have no regrets in this life?"

Wan Er straightened his back and asked, "Then, do you know why you came to this world?"

"I know," Li Baolu smiled and said, "For one person, one mission. You can also think about why you are born and live. You can think about this matter slowly, don't worry."

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

Li Baolu didn't ask them any more questions, and they couldn't accept any more, so it's better to take it slowly.

Li Baolu could understand their bewilderment, because she was like this when she was their age in her previous life.

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

When she was a teenager, her ideals changed day by day, and 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 and working for less than half a year, I questioned myself every day in my heart, has your life been like this, and what is the meaning of your existence?

At that time, she was at a loss, and her parents and elder brother didn't understand her confusion, but they supported her in everything she did.

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

She has been a teacher in that small mountain village for three years, and she is the only teacher in three classes of six subjects, including English, Mathematics, Physical Education, Music and Morality.

She was as busy as in the city, but her heart was much more stable. She sent away one student after another, and watched them clumsily strive to live out their own life and excitement, and she felt that her life was complete in an instant.
