Chapter 1: Nongmen Tianjiao【04】
Father Yang did not leave the bundle repaired as Li Xiucai said, but put the prepared bundle in front of Li Xiucai respectfully and said, "This is not possible, sir, you have worked hard to teach my son. Studying and cultivating are due filial piety!"
In a small county such as Ping'an County, only the county magistrate has a serious reputation. Therefore, the scholar's status in Ping'an County is still very high, and he is qualified to meet the magistrate without having to kneel.
Father Yang's biggest expectation for his son was to be admitted as a scholar. Now, hearing Li Xiucai praise his son like this, he is naturally overjoyed and feels that his son has a better chance of being admitted as a scholar.
Li Xiucai attaches great importance to Yuan Jia, and Yang's father is happy in his heart, but he will not take advantage of it. Instead, he decides to give an extra gift at that time, so that Li Xiucai can be more attentive to his son.
Father Yang sent it to Shuxiu again and again, but Li Xiucai couldn't refuse, so he had to accept it, but he picked up the thousand-character script he used to teach Yuan Jia, and handed the book to Yuan Jia: "Good boy, you have this book. Take it, study hard, get a job title in the future, and gain an official position in the future!"
Li Xiucai didn't tell Yuan Jia any high-level motivational words. His wish was also very simple. He studied for the sake of becoming an official in the imperial examinations. At the beginning, he failed to pass the examination and failed to become an official, so he hoped that among the students he taught Someone can be an official.
Yuan Jia's unforgettable performance is the best student Li Xiucai has received over the years. He also has great expectations for Yuan Jia.
When Father Yang saw that Li Xiucai actually gave his son a book, he was shocked. This book is not cheap at all. It costs at least one tael of silver.
Yuan Jia reached out and took the book, and said to Li Xiucai, "Thank you sir for donating the book, students must work hard!"
Although Yuan Jia behaved decently this time and didn't look like an ordinary child, because he just showed the ability of a child prodigy, Li Xiucai and Father Yang both thought it was a matter of course. Genius should be unusual!
After paying homage to Mr. Li, Li Xiucai took Yuan Jia to the academy and the class officially started. Father Yang sent it to the door. After watching Yuan Jia sitting obediently in the seat for a while, shaking his head and reading with his husband, he returned with excitement. home.
Father Yang was very excited on the way home, and when he passed by the roast chicken shop, he even bought a roast chicken and went back for a snack.
Arriving home with the roast chicken, Mother Yang saw the smile on his face that couldn't be concealed, and couldn't help but ask, "What makes you so happy today?"
Father Yang raised his head sullenly, "Miss, you really gave me a good son! Today I took Yuanjia to see Li Xiucai, and he really gave me a face! Sir, read that book again, Yuan Jia will be able to memorize it right away! What is this called, the master said that it is too hard to forget!"
Mother Yang was pleasantly surprised: "Really! But I've only heard of it, but my son is not forgotten? Which one is more powerful!"
Father Yang said with a smile: "It's all the same! It's all the same! Our son doesn't know how to read. If he can read, he will never forget the same thing! He has a good memory. If others have to memorize the content for a long time, he will read it once, listen to it once and remember it. Stay!"
The two happily celebrated together and ate the whole roast chicken.
When Yuan Jia came back, he saw a table of chicken bones.
Yuan Jia: "..." I don't even know how to destroy the corpse and destroy it when I eat roast chicken behind my back!
＜＜＜＜＜＜
Yuan Jia began to go to school on time every day, and was called by the teacher to open a small stove in the office after school.
As early as when he bought the house, Father Yang had the foresight to buy a house in the school district close to Li Xiucai's private school, so Yuan Jia was very convenient to commute to and from school every day, just a ten-minute walk on short legs.
In the private school, children of the same age as him are relatively skinny, and they don't have much idea that reading can change their lives. They can't sit still like a nail has grown under their buttocks, and they are thinking about when to go out to play after class.
In comparison, Yuan Jia, who was well-behaved, sensible, and studied seriously, became a good student that Li Xiucai praised and set an example, so Yuan Jia gained enough hatred among all the little kids.
But Yuan Jia didn't panic at all. After he opened a small stove at Li Xiucai's place, he came out with the extra homework assigned by Li Xiucai. : "Oh, I really envy you!"
Very jealous of Yuan Jia's children who were praised by his husband: "...?"
Yuan Jia looked at them with admiration, raised the thick stack of books in his hand, "Sir wants me to memorize all these books!"
The bear children who were planning to find an opportunity to beat up the good students behind their backs fell on the stack of books in Yuan Jia's hands, and looked shocked: "So many! Σ(°△°|||)︴"
The bear children who hated endorsement the most looked at him with schadenfreude. Now it seems that the husband is still very good to them, at least he will not assign them so many endorsement tasks.
Yuan Jia sighed again: "Sir also asked me to copy all these books!"
The bear children who hated copying books the most were shocked after hearing this, and then looked at Yuan Jia with sympathy and pity in their eyes. So many books, in what year and month are they going to be copied!
They are no longer jealous of good students being praised by their husbands. It turns out that good students are so pitiful!
So in class the next day, Li Xiucai took Yuanjia out again and praised him: "You have to study hard with Yang Yuanjia... Look at the big characters written by others, and then look at you!"
In the past, someone must have looked at Yuan Jia with envy and jealousy, but now they are looking at him with sympathy.
Yang Yuanjia is so pitiful, copying books every day, copying so many books, and writing better than us is normal!
After school, another fat duner shared his favorite dessert with Yuan Jia: "You are so pitiful, you have to copy so many books. If you can't finish copying, I can ask my book boy to copy it for you."
Yuan Jia looked at the enthusiastic fat dun in front of him. This child is Lu Jing, the direct son of the Lu family in Ping'an County. The Lu family owns a restaurant. Although it is a merchant, the business is very big. For restaurants, it is said that there are Lujia restaurant branches in several nearby counties, and even the prefectures have branches.
Therefore, the Lu family is very rich, and money can make ghosts run the mill. The Lu family is also one of the largest families in Ping'an County.
As the direct son of the head of the Lu family, Lu Jing has three book boys by his side. He brings all kinds of expensive snacks to the private school every day, and he never stops talking.
Lu Jing was sent by the Lu family to study, in fact, it was just to let him learn more knowledge, so that the heir of the Lu family would not be a big illiterate. In fact, the Lu family did not expect him to achieve anything on the road to the imperial examination.
Although the imperial court allowed businessmen to enter the imperial examination after three generations, the children of Lu Jing's generation can already participate in the imperial examination, but how can a child who grew up in a wealthy nest expect him to endure hardships and study hard!
Lu Jing spent most of his time in the private school, and the homework assigned by Li Xiucai every day was written by his three bookboys. He is the leader of all the scumbags in Li Xiucai's private school.
If it weren't for the large amount of money from the Lu family, Li Xiucai felt that he couldn't afford to offend a big family like the Lu family, and he would have driven Lu Jing out of the private school long ago.
Lu Jing was also the leader of the group of arrogant children who were jealous of Yuan Jia. Now he is willing to share snacks with Yuan Jia, which obviously means that the group of scumbag children has no hostility towards Yuan Jia.
Yuan Jia smiled and ate an exquisite snack, and accepted Lu Jing's offer.
＜＜＜＜＜＜
After Yuan Jia got acquainted with Lu Jing and other small groups, he integrated into the private school classmates, but he no longer had to worry about being blocked when school was over.
Every day he was called by Li Xiucai to open a small stove, and after opening the small stove, he would go home and copy a few books.
Books were too expensive, and Li Xiucai was worried that Yang's family was weak and could not afford him the cost of reading, so he asked Yuan Jia to bring the books back to copy them by himself. In this way, he only had to buy pen and paper, and the burden would be much smaller.
These books are all in Li Xiucai's private collection, and there are precious annotations on them. Usually, he is reluctant to let others borrow them. Now he is willing to bring them home to Yuan Jia. It can be seen that Li Xiucai really cares about Yuan Jia.
However, in the eyes of Lu Jing and other children who were rich and easy to buy books, Li Xiucai asked Yuan Jia to bring so many books back to memorize and copy them, just to punish him and torture him.
Years passed, when Yuan Jia was ten years old, after visiting his parents from Yangjia Village, Father Yang suddenly took out a piece of soap and handed it to Mother Yang: "Try this piece of fragrant pancreas. Let's see what's different from the fragrant pancreas we usually use."
Yuan Jia was sitting beside Yang's mother when she saw the soap and asked, "Dad, where did this fragrant pancreas come from? It looks a little different from what we usually use."
Mother Yang also looked at Father Yang curiously. She was also curious, why did Father Yang suddenly bring back a piece of fragrant pancreas and let her try to use it?
Father Yang said with a strange expression: "This is what Sanzhu did."
Yuan Jia is no longer curious, isn't it strange that the male traveler of science and technology has made soap?
Yuan Jia didn't pay much attention to what happened after that, but after listening to Mother Yang mentioned a few words, Father Yang bought a batch of fragrant pancreas and sold it to the shopkeeper of the grocery store he knew before, and made a fortune.
Not long after, Father Yang took Yang Sanzhu from Yangjia Village to the county town and announced that he would sponsor Yang Sanzhu to study.
Mother Yang and Yuan Jia were not surprised at all. Mother Yang had been informed in advance by Father Yang, and Yuan Jia had already guessed it.
But Yuan Jia still looked surprised: "That's great, I can go to the private school with Sanzhu brother in the future!"
Yang Sanzhu, who has grown a lot in the past two years, looks black and thin, but compared to the malnutrition two years ago, now he looks a little more fleshy and has baby fat on his face.
A smile appeared on Yang Sanzhu's face: "Then trouble Brother Yuanjia to take care of me!"
Yuan Jia patted his shoulder and said, "Don't worry, my brother will definitely take care of you!"
＜＜＜＜＜＜
Yang Sanzhu moved to Yuanjia's house to live. There was no extra room. Yang's mother added a bed to Yuanjia's house, and the two of them squeezed together.
There was originally a guest room, but the guest room had been changed by Father Yang into Yuan Jia's study, so it was not easy to live in. And in the future, the two children will use the study room to study, so it is better to let the two live in one bedroom.
On the first night of Yang Sanzhu's stay at his second uncle's house, he was in a very complicated mood. He was both uncomfortable with being surrounded by others and looking forward to the future. These thoughts made him toss and turn and sleepless.
In the darkness, Yuan Jia glanced sideways at Yang Sanzhu, who was tossing and turning, and suddenly asked, "Why are you still not sleeping?"
Yang Sanzhu's voice was a bit muffled: "Probably recognizes the bed a bit and can't sleep."
Yuan Jia said "Oh", "Then there's nothing you can do about it, you have to get used to it sooner, you have to live in my house for a long time before you can go home!"
Yang Sanzhu hesitated for a moment and asked, "What did you teach us in the private school?"
Yuan Jia replied: "First recognize the characters, then endorse and study the article. When the time comes, Mr. will teach you, you just need to learn according to what Mr. teaches."
the next day.
Yang Sanzhu got up early in the morning, but when he woke up, he subconsciously glanced at Yuan Jia's bed.
It was found that the bed had long since disappeared, and the quilt was neatly folded.
Yang Sanzhu walked out of the room, met Yuan Jia's maid, and asked, "Where is Brother Yuan Jia?"
The maid replied, "Master, he went to study in the study!"
After Yang Sanzhu washed up, he went to the study to find Yuan Jia, and before he got close, he heard Yuan Jia's clear voice reading the article.
Walking in again, I saw from the window of the study room, Yuan Jia, who was sitting behind the desk beside the window, with his eyes closed, and his expression was serious and serious.
Yang Sanzhu was slightly startled. Because he was in Yangjiacun before, he would be called by Mrs. Li to eat and work every morning at six o'clock. He thought he had woken up early enough, but he didn't expect Yang Yuanjia to wake up earlier than him. I'm afraid it's not dawn to get up and read!
Yuan Jia sensed Yang Sanzhu's gaze, opened his eyes, stopped the endorsement, and looked at Yang Sanzhu: "Brother Sanzhu is here, do you want to have breakfast together? We'll have the noodles today."
Yang Sanzhu nodded, had breakfast with Yuan Jia, and then went to the private school with Yang's father to apply for admission.
Yuan Jia didn't follow him. He went to the school to study early. Father Yang took Yang Sanzhu to see Li Xiucai. Shu Xiu was also handed over by Father Yang.
Yang Sanzhu is a traveler again, no matter how he thinks of making money, his identity as a child is always a flaw.
He wanted to make money by making soap, and the first partner he thought of was Father Yang, because Li was short-sighted and incompetent, and Uncle Yang was honest and cowardly, so he couldn't count on it at all.
And even if he made money, according to Uncle Yang and Mrs. Li's ideas, the money should be saved to build a house for their three brothers to marry, instead of sending him to study.
That's why Yang Sanzhu secretly cooperated with Yang's father without telling the others. Yang's father made money and brought him out of Yangjia Village to a private school on the grounds of supporting his nephew.
On the surface, it seemed that Father Yang paid Yang Sanzhu's tuition from his own pocket, so Mr. Li didn't feel that studying was a waste of money.
＜＜＜＜＜＜
Li Xiucai looked at Yang Sanzhu, who was already ten years old, and took the same test as Yuan Jia did when he entered the school.
Although Yang Sanzhu's performance is considered outstanding because of his adult thinking ability, it is much inferior to Yuan Jia's unforgettable performance two years ago.
Li Xiucai only showed a faint smile on his face, nodded slightly, and said, "Yes, I will accept this student."
Father Yang presented Shu Xiu, and then Li Xiucai took Yang Sanzhu to class.
Li Xiucai's private school is divided into Class A and Class B. Class B is generally a student who has just entered the school and is still laying the foundation. Class A is an excellent student who has laid a solid foundation and started to study the classics and meanings of essays in depth.
Yuan Jia had already been promoted to Class A, while Yang Sanzhu, as a freshman, entered Class B.
Li Xiucai took the students from Class B to read the thousand-character text, and then let them recite it by themselves. He transferred to Class A to teach his proud students.
When the students of Class B saw that Mr. was not there, the recitation became a lot louder.
Lu Jing left his seat directly and ran to Yang Sanzhu's side: "You are Yuan Jia's cousin, right? Yuan Jia asked me to help you take care of you, don't worry, you will follow the young master in the future! You can just call me Brother Lu!"
Yang Sanzhu looked at the fat man in front of him, with an embarrassed smile on his face, "Lu, Brother Lu!"
Although he felt embarrassed to call such an old child his brother, no one knew his true psychological age, so he was used to it.
Although Lu Jing is sometimes very bearish, he is really very loyal to the brothers he recognizes, at least he has enough delicious food!
Yang Sanzhu had just arrived, and he was Yuan Jia's cousin. Lu Jing naturally had to take care of him, so he immediately brought a plate of Lu's restaurant's signature pastries, so delicious that Yang Sanzhu almost swallowed his tongue.
After school, Yuan Jia didn't go to Li Xiucai to open a small stove, but came to Class B to find Yang Sanzhu.
Seeing Yuan Jia coming over, Lu Jing patted his chest loudly: "Yuan Jia, don't worry, your brother is my brother, and I will take good care of him!"
Yuan Jia glanced at the pastry plate in front of Yang Sanzhu and smiled, "Thank you then, Lu Jing."
Lu Jing puffed out his chest proudly.
I don't know why, he originally wanted to accept Yuan Jia as his younger brother's follower, but somehow he became a good friend and a good brother, and now he feels a special sense of accomplishment because of Yuan Jia's thank you...
Yuan Jia looked at Yang Sanzhu: "Brother Sanzhu, are you still getting used to it on your first day of school today?"
Yang Sanzhu nodded: "With Brother Lu taking care of me, everyone treats me well. Thank you Brother Yuanjia!"
After Yuan Jia said goodbye to Lu Jing, he took Yang Sanzhu home.
Along the way, Yuan Jia explained the family background of the classmates in Class B to Yang Sanzhu in detail. I believe that Yang Sanzhu, a traveler, should know how to get along well with the classmates in Class B.
Yang Sanzhu's expression was a bit stunned. It was because Yuan Jia and his classmates in popular science had too detailed family backgrounds. It was as if Yuan Jia had done a household survey. Even Lu Jing's father knew how many concubines!
When Yang Sanzhu looked at Yuan Jia again, his eyes were no longer those of a child...
Of course, Yuan Jia could see Yang Sanzhu's shock, but he didn't have the idea of pretending to be a stupid white sweet child all the time, because he planned to take the county exam this year.
Although he is only ten years old, there are not many prodigies who take the exam at the age of ten. Those children from aristocratic families have been enlightened since they were four or five years old, and they started out higher than children from farmers, not to mention the comparison of political resources who enter the officialdom in the future.
Yuan Jia wanted to become famous as soon as possible, and won a small three yuan in one go, becoming a ten-year-old scholar!
The youngest Xiu in this dynasty was twelve years old. If Yuan Jia were two years ahead of schedule, his reputation would surely spread widely.
The family background is not enough, the fame comes together!
In this life, Yuanjia is not sure enough to guarantee that he will win six yuan in the same way as Fu Yuanjia's life, because strength is an important factor in the imperial examination, but family background and luck are also indispensable.
When he is not sure of becoming the leader of the Sixth Yuan, he wants to be famous, so becoming the youngest scholar in this dynasty is the best way.
＜＜＜＜＜＜
"What? Let Yuan Jia take the exam this year?" Father Yang was shocked when he heard the news from Li Xiucai, "Yuan Jia has only studied for two years, so can he take the exam?"
Father Yang saw that there were more old children of several decades, so he subconsciously thought that his son would have to study for at least ten years before he could take the imperial examinations.
Unexpectedly, Li Xiucai even suggested that his son, who has only read for two years, should take the county exam this year!
Li Xiucai said: "Yuan Jia has a good talent and works very hard. He is almost ready. He will be able to take the county exam this year. It will definitely be no problem to become a child student. However, it depends on his performance."
Father Yang was a little stunned, and his mind was full of Li Xiucai's words "It's definitely not a problem to be a Tongsheng", his ten-year-old son is about to become a Tongsheng? !
Then Li Xiucai told Father Yang to prepare for Yuan Jia to take the county exam, and Father Yang would just keep nodding in agreement.
He didn't know how Father Yang came home from the private school. He was erratic, as if stepping on the clouds.
Mother Yang already knew Li Xiucai's advice from the excited father Yang. After she was happy, she couldn't help but say, "Don't be too busy to be happy, wait for your son to pass the exam, and then you will be happy. At that time, no one told you how happy you wanted to be!"
Father Yang laughed and said, "What Mr. Li said can be false! He said that if our son can pass the test, he will definitely pass the test!"
Mother Yang made full preparations for Yuanjia's county trial according to Mr. Li's instructions.
Yang Sanzhu was shocked when he heard that Yuan Jia was going to take part in the county test this year, "So soon!"
As a science student, Yang Sanzhu felt a lot of pain when he studied in a private school. Before he crossed over, he learned science because he couldn't study liberal arts, but he didn't expect that he would have no choice after crossing over, so he could only endorse it with tears in his teeth.
Fortunately, as an adult, he still has the most basic self-control, and he can still hold on to the rote memorization at the beginning.
But when he saw that Yuan Jia had already started to learn to write poetry and poems, he was a little confused.
Do you want to write poetry?
When he saw the exam questions of the previous county exam that Li Xiucai gave Yuan Jia to practice, he was even more confused. Are the exam questions so tricky?
It was just a fill-in-the-blank question, and he was a little bit blind, because the fill-in-the-blank question only intercepted a paragraph from an article for the examinee to fill in the vacant content. what.
This is embarrassing me, fat tiger.JPG
