The two children had been staying in the mountains. She could teach them how to read and many other things, but she could not teach them everything.
They had to interact with other people. They could not live in their own small world.
“Qian Jiyun, how long can you stay in the capital?” she asked Qian Jiyun.
If they could stay for more than half a year, they should find a school for the two children so they could integrate into the big family that was society.
“I haven’t confirmed, but I think I’ll be here for at least a year,” Qian Jiyun replied.
It was not easy for the old Emperor to find an opportunity to summon him to the capital. He could not reach the southern border anymore, so how could he let him go so easily?
Since nothing was happening at the southern border, he decided to stay in the capital.
An Jiuyue raised her eyebrows and chuckled.
More than a year? This Emperor is really something. He summoned Qian Jiyun, who was guarding the southern border, back to balance power. And he’s not even going to let him return.
He believes in Qian Jiyun’s abilities so much? That he can deter others from acting rashly at the southern border even in his absence?
“Then show Zheng’er and Rong’er what kinds of schools they are suitable for.”
“Do you have any suggestions?”
Qian Jiyun had already thought of what to do with the two children.
However, he did not dare to say it out loud. He decided to ask An Jiuyue about her thoughts first and see what kind of school she wanted to send the two children to.
“I don’t have any suggestions. It’s just…”
An Jiuyue thought for a moment. She did not need her children to go to prestigious schools. They could simply be ordinary.
“Let’s find an ordinary school. Oh, right, is there any school in the capital that focuses on the all-round development of morals, intelligence, physique, aesthetic sense, and labor skills?” she asked casually.
“Huh?” Qian Yiyun was stunned by her question. “Sister-in-law, what… what are you talking about?”
Morals, intelligence, physique, aesthetic sense, and labor skills? She had heard of morals and sweetness. What were the other three?
“Moral Education: Develop students’ correct perspective on life and values so that they have good morals and correct political views…” An Jiuyue began to introduce each dimension of education.
Qian Yiyun’s mouth fell open, not knowing how to react.
It would be great if schools could teach that much. Qian Jiyun shook his head with a smile. He felt that his wife wanted the two children to become gods.
“The teachers probably won’t teach these, right?” They only taught literature.
“The capital is the most prosperous and powerful place in Daqing Kingdom. Shouldn’t children who grow up here develop in all aspects? Isn’t this the bare minimum?
“What do the schools teach if not these? Memorizing the Four Books and Five Classics?” An Jiuyue asked.
“Jiuyue—”
“Mother, Rong’er and I already know how to memorize ‘Great Learning’ and ‘The Doctrine of the Mean’. We’ve also read ‘The Book of Songs’ and ‘The Book of Rites’ twice. We’ll memorize them soon.”
Qian Jiyun was about to speak when he heard Qian Yizheng’s voice.
He was speechless.
If you two memorized these so quickly, how are other children your age supposed to live?
However, he was not surprised. He coughed lightly.
“Zheng’er, Rong’er, memorization doesn’t mean understanding. You’ll still have to go to the school and listen to teachers who’ll explain them to you.”
