Transmigrated as A Farm Girl Making Her Family Rich-Chapter 221 - 220 Husband and Wife Teach

Chapter 221: Chapter 220 Husband and Wife Teach

Mrs. Mo carried an air of nobility about her, for she had once been a golden daughter herself. Even though she was now a teacher, her innate demeanor remained unaltered.

The girls and young ladies all knew she had been recommended to teach by the Madam herself, and they dared not show her any disrespect.

On Mr. Mo’s side, things were a bit more difficult. He had spent his previous days engrossed in books, had a rudimentary understanding of some musical instruments, but could not claim to be an expert. He could barely teach the basics to the students and was far from being considered a master.

Feeling unworthy of teaching, he thought that perhaps enlightening young children was a better fit for him, as he was already a scholar.

The students were not child students; he was not expected to teach the older male students, as they had already gone to the academy to learn these skills.

The boys he taught tended to be naughtier. Those with some basics were manageable, but the ones without any foundational knowledge and who misbehaved truly gave him headaches.

No matter the difficulty, he had to overcome the challenges. With no experience in teaching or rearing children, he had no choice but to gradually figure out how to teach.

He taught one hour-long class each morning and afternoon, and used the remaining time to tutor Tang Shunyan for half an hour.

Lady Tang had mentioned before that she wanted him to tutor both her children. The younger one already had a tutor, so he was not needed for that child yet.

Every time he returned to the courtyard for meals, he saw that his wife was not at all troubled by issues concerning the students.

He could feel the hardships of teaching, which exhausted him more than his own studies had ever done.

Only after becoming a teacher did he realize how hard it was to get the students to obey and study diligently. It strained his mind, and at times he would need to resort to physical punishment. Spanking the students’ palms made him feel pained and guilty; some would even complain to their parents.

The parents would come to him making trouble, and only then did he realize that being a teacher was no easy task. Successfully educating the students was his honor. However, if he failed to teach them well, not only would it vex him, but it would also lead to complaints, tarnishing his reputation.

Mrs. Mo, teaching one hour less per day than her husband, had it much easier, just as when she used to practice playing instruments for two hours a day in her private chamber.

Engaged in such relaxed work and earning money, she felt no burden teaching in the Tang household.

Two days had passed this way, and tomorrow would be the third day. The day after tomorrow, she could start her part-time job teaching the Ye family’s children.

Mr. Mo had informed the Junior Housekeeper about this matter, and he was scheduled to go to the Ye family the day after tomorrow, according to their arrangement.

Today in Mrs. Mo’s music class, as she was teaching the students, she divided them into those who already had a basic understanding and handed them musical scores to practice playing instruments.

For the others who lacked a foundation, she first taught them to recognize the basics of the musical scores and the technique of pressing each key.

In a classroom filled with numerous people playing different notes haphazardly, it might have seemed noisy to some.

Yet everyone was engrossed in their learning and did not mind the chaotic noise; they were not only learning but also having a great time playing.

In the past, when they had each been studying in their respective courtyards under a teacher, they would study together sometimes.

However, among the children of wealthy families, because of adults and for many reasons, issues like competing for favor, jealousy, and envy arose, affecting their relationships. Even among family members, sometimes the competition was fierce enough to hurt others.

The siblings did not share a deep bond, but now studying music together was different. In the harmony of the musical notes, they forgot some of their troubles and immersed themselves completely.

At the entrance of their classroom, which was next to another instrument-learning classroom, a lady accompanied by a maid and an old woman stood there observing.

She watched not only the teacher teaching the female students but also glanced at the teacher instructing the male students.

Her gaze primarily rested on Tang Shunyan; she was Meng Zhaojun.

Meng Zhaojun, in fact, had heard a few days ago that a teacher had been employed by the Tang Mansion to teach instruments.

She hadn’t visited the Tang Family recently because she was upset with Tang Shunyan, and it had been several days since she last came to Tang Mansion.

She originally thought that Tang Shunyan would come to find her, apologize, visit her, play with her, tell her that he had hired a teacher, and invite her to study together.

But as each day passed, she slowly forgave Tang Shunyan in her anger.

Unfortunately, the boy didn’t come to find her, and having already decided on this boy’s nurturing plan, how could he give up?

Meng Zhaojun started feeling that perhaps showing her Lady’s temper might make Tang Shunyan want to stay as far away from her as possible.

She also knew that Tang Shunyan, the boy, had a very strong pride, and if she didn’t lower her head to go to Tang Mansion to play with him, he might ignore her.

As they grew older, perhaps they wouldn’t be able to see each other in the same way once they grew up.

Meng Zhaojun also felt that if she didn’t make an effort now and if her family went to the Capital, they might not see each other for years, and the boy would forget about her.

This was what she feared most, Tang Shunyan’s attitude towards the ladies of the Ye family was somewhat better, and she was afraid that they might become strangers in the future.

Meng Zhaojun decided to visit with her maid, not sending any kind of visiting card since it was, after all, Tang Mansion and not a visit to an elder. This time she didn’t bring her brother either.

Instead, her mother led the way. It wasn’t good for a little girl to come on her own, and it was somewhat better under the pretext of her mother, who went to see Lady Tang while she came here with her maid.

Meng Zhaojun stood quietly at the doorway. Inside, Mr. Mo and his wife also saw this person but didn’t know who this girl was.

All the girls of the Tang family should have been here, so this person perhaps was a guest. Thus, the couple did not invite the little girl at the door to enter.

Meng Zhaojun stood at the door, unacknowledged; she knew that these teachers knew she had arrived.

Tang Shunyan seemed unaware of her presence; his gaze did not turn to the door.

Meng Zhaojun told the maid not to follow her, and she silently walked into the boys’ classroom.

The boy students, absorbed in their studies, were all looking down at their instrument scores.

The teacher had been teaching for two days, and those with some basic knowledge could follow the music and produce some sounds.

As for the beginners, they only knew the basics of the scores. The teacher had taught for two days, and they understood a little, but they couldn’t play the whole piece and could only start learning the techniques.

Everyone was so serious that when Meng Zhaojun entered the classroom, no one noticed her.

Meng Zhaojun stood quietly beside Tang Shunyan, hoping the boy would notice her.

But… after Meng Zhaojun had stood there for so long, Tang Shunyan showed no response whatsoever.

Although she was right by his side, he treated her as if she were invisible, and Meng Zhaojun could not help but start to get angry again.

Her hand tapped on a key while Tang Shunyan was playing the piano, suddenly a small hand tapped on the piano, making a loud sound.

The other students studying didn’t pay attention to them, but the teacher frowned at them.

It was unclear whether this girl’s arrival was a disruption or what?

Tang Shunyan noticed the small hand, looked up at its owner, and saw it was Meng Zhaojun.

“You’ve come? Go wait outside the classroom. I’ll attend to you after class.”
