Chapter 743 - 087 School Trivia_4
Xia Zheng had been busy with many things these past days. It seemed that when he said he wanted to take on the task of printing books, he wasn’t without preparation.
Lin Yuan secretly smiled; Ma Junying’s words had successfully stirred up her longing for someone. Counting the days, it was almost the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. That fellow should be returning soon, right?
As they spoke, Meng Liangdong had already moved the newly printed books over. Out of curiosity, Lin Yuan followed into the room and casually picked up a book to flip through. The first book printed was exactly "The Learning," which she remembered seeing Ma Junying helping to copy when she came over before New Year to talk with Old Mr. Cheng about acquiring the school.
"On the first day of school, are we to study this article?" Lin Yuan asked casually as she flipped through the pages.
Meng Liangdong was also looking at the new books. Speaking of which, he had contributed quite a bit to the printing of this book. Now, seeing the finished product was like looking at his own child, how could he not be happy?
"Yes, yes, although this article is short, its teachings are profound. It is very necessary for the children to understand the rationale behind learning before they start their studies," said Meng Liangdong. His years of study were not in vain. Although he hadn’t been able to demonstrate his abilities in the examination hall, teaching was something he found exceptionally effortless.
Lin Yuan deeply believed that Meng Liangdong was born to teach. Even though he might not have achieved remarkable success in the imperial examinations, cultivating a few top scholars was certainly within the realm of possibility.
Ma Junying greatly appreciated Meng Liangdong’s insights and knowledge. Ever since the two of them had been in contact regarding the printing of the books, he had already discussed many educational matters with him, "Mr. Meng is right. If in the future Junying encounters anything baffling, I hope Mr. Meng would not hesitate to instruct me and offer guidance."
