Chapter 1: Nongmen Tianjiao【06】
Yuan Jia didn't expect that Yang Sanzhu couldn't even write, how could he help?
"You hold the pen and write according to the method taught by your husband, practice more, and you will gradually become proficient. The character of the font and so on, you can't get results without the accumulated hard work, don't worry."
Yang Sanzhu: "..." I understand the truth, but it still feels so difficult! 〒▽〒
He is not a person with particularly strong self-control. Now he is so desperate to force himself to study ancient prose, all because the situation is too difficult. If he doesn't study hard, he will spend his whole life farming and doing hard work. He can't bear this hardship, so he can only choose to study. .
But it's hard to learn! QAQ
Yuan Jia glanced at Yang Sanzhu's bitter face, and came over to look at the words he wrote.
Hiss Spicy eyes!
However, Yuan Jia can also understand that Yang Sanzhu had never written calligraphy before, and he was also a traveller. When he first learned calligraphy, he brought over the habit of writing hard calligraphy, so the calligraphy he wrote was always not good.
He said to Yang Sanzhu: "You can't practice calligraphy like this, it's not very effective and wastes paper and ink, you must first learn to use the brush..." He explained in detail the various precautions for beginners to practice calligraphy.
Yang Sanzhu also listened very seriously, but the theory is one thing, and the actual operation is another.
Until Yuan Jia won the first court trial at the age of less than eleven years old, becoming the youngest scholar in the dynasty, or a junior scholar! Yang Sanzhu's calligraphy is considered to be able to be seen.
Yang Sanzhu had just handed in an article that he could barely read. Li Xiucai glanced at the large characters that he could barely read. Li Xiucai did not criticize his large characters as worthless as before, and he even showed a smile. : "If there is progress, go back and copy more of your cousin's words and learn from him!"
Yang Sanzhu was not at all surprised by Li Xiucai's unusually mild attitude, because since he received his cousin Yang Yuanjia's admission to the hospital, Li Xiucai has been in a good mood, and he is no longer angry when he encounters naughty students.
Yang Sanzhu returned to the classroom of Class B. As soon as he sat down, Lu Jing dragged his stool and sat next to him: "Sanzhu! Is your brother free?"
Yuan Jia has become a scholar, so naturally he doesn't have to go to a private school to study. He should go to a government school next to prepare for the rural exam.
Yang Sanzhu replied, "Brother Yuanjia has been very busy recently, what's the matter with you? Let me know if it's convenient, and I'll help you!"
Lu Jing's fleshy face showed a flattering smile: "Brother Sanzhu, isn't this Yuan Jia, he has passed the exam as a scholar? For such a big happy event, I thought that I should have a table and a banquet to celebrate it. What about in my restaurant? Do? I'll treat you, everyone will go to congratulate Brother Yuanjia!"
Although Yang Sanzhu was no better than Lu Jing in his studies, he still understood what Lu Jing meant.
Lu Jing wanted to have a relationship with Yuan Jiala! Thinking about it at a deeper level, it is likely that the Lu family wanted to have a relationship with Yuan Jia through Lu Jing.
After all, Lu Jing didn't say 'Brother Yuanjia' and 'Brother Sanzhu' at the same time. He called him by his first name. Now that Yuan Jia has just become a scholar, his name has changed. Still don't understand the meaning? !
Yang Sanzhu can also understand that although a scholar's fame is nothing, the Lu family is not afraid of a scholar, but the problem is the age of this scholar! A ten-year-old scholar can almost say that it is a sure thing to juren in the exam, and juren can become an official. The Lu family is only a small local family and a businessman, but he can't offend a juren.
At this time, if we don't take advantage of this future lifter to get closer to the lift, when will we wait?
Yang Sanzhu's thoughts turned back and forth, but he said, "You know how busy Brother Yuanjia is. I will bring this to you. As for whether Brother Yuanjia will agree, I can't guarantee it."
After Yuan Jia became a scholar, he immediately became famous, and even more famous in Ping'an County. Even the magistrate of Ping'an County visited the door in person. During this time, the threshold of the gate of the Yang family was almost broken by visitors.
Yang Sanzhu said that Yuan Jia was very busy, which was true.
Lu Jing said with a smile: "Brother Sanzhu just bring the words with you. If Brother Yuanjia doesn't have time, it's okay, we can wait until Brother Yuanjia is free before going to the banquet! This is just a private gathering of our classmates. ."
Lu Jing had been beaten several times by his father, so he naturally listened very well.
Yang Sanzhu returned to Yang's house after school and saw that there were a lot of gift burdens piled up in the yard. He knew that many people would come to give gifts today.
＜＜＜＜＜＜
Father Yang was entertaining visiting guests, accompanied by Yuan Jia.
This rich-looking middle-aged man in a brocade clothes is Lu Jing's father. Lu's father asked his son to invite Yuan Jia in the name of his classmates, while visiting him himself, which can be said to be sincere.
Father Lu asked with a smile, "I wonder when your house will hold a banquet?"
Father Yang said: "This must be done, and it has to be done in a big way..."
Yuan Jia interjected: "Father, I'm going to the school soon. I'll stay in Ping'an County for a while, so this banquet doesn't need to be so grand."
When Father Yang heard Yuan Jia's words, he was slightly startled, thinking about his family background. In the future, if his son wants to study at the school, the whole family must move to the city, otherwise he and his wife will not be at ease. Then the family's wealth is a bit dwarfed.
Father Lu hurriedly said: "The banquet in your house can be held in my Lu family restaurant, and our Lu family can also enjoy the blessing of Xiucai Gong! I will cover the cost of the banquet, so it is a congratulatory gift to Xiucai Gong!"
If you don't sell favors at this time, when will you sell?
Father Yang is a shrewd person. He knows that his son is a potential stock, and he can't owe favors casually in such trivial matters.
So Father Yang said: "I can't, I can't! How can I take advantage of you for nothing! Besides, my parents and my parents are in the village, so this banquet will naturally have to go back to the village." It costs less than a banquet in a big restaurant in the county.
Father Lu saw that Father Yang had said this, and knew that this favor would not be sold, so he had to give up.
Seeing that it was getting late, Father Lu offered to leave. Father Yang quickly got up to see off the guests, and kept sending Father Lu out of the gate.
Yuan Jia followed Father Yang and watched Father Lu's chubby figure leave.
He turned his head and said to Father Yang, "Father, the gifts from these people can be accepted as ordinary gifts, but not as generous gifts."
Father Yang nodded: "This father knows!"
Yuan Jia is still very satisfied with Father Yang, his teammate.
At this time, Yang Sanzhu came over, and he asked, "Who is that guest just now?" He felt that the chubby guest who had just left was a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had met him.
Yuan Jia replied, "That's Lu Jing's father, the head of the Lu family."
Yang Sanzhu suddenly said: "It turned out to be Lu Jing's father, no wonder he feels a little familiar." The father and son look very similar, and when Lu Jing reaches the age of Lu's father, it will probably look like this.
Yang Sanzhu remembered what Lu Jing told him in the private school today, so he told Yuan Jia: "Today Lu Jing asked you if you had time, he plans to set up a table of wine in his Lu family restaurant, and invite his classmates in the private school to eat together. Wine, to celebrate for you. He said it was just a party between our classmates."
Yuan Jia thought about it, Father Lu could not agree to host a free banquet for the Yang family, but Lu Jing invited them to dinner, so it was not easy to refuse, just like a classmate in Modern said to invite the whole class to dinner, although the other party's purpose was to He, but he is not good to refuse.
"Since it's just a meal between classmates, then promise! If you help me reply to him tomorrow, just say I have time at noon the day after tomorrow."
Yang Sanzhu nodded: "Okay, I will tell him."
＜＜＜＜＜＜
The next day, Lu Jing got Yang Sanzhu's permission and went home happily and told Father Lu.
Father Lu listened with a smile on his face: "Good son, you did a good job!" He looked at his direct son who looked similar to himself and was very satisfied, "It's not worth it for me to send you to Li Xiucai's private school, although you didn't study it. What, but making a friend like Yang Yuanjia is a big profit!"
Although Lu Jing is greedy and playful, he is not stupid and sweet when he is around Lu's father.
"Father, do you think Yang Yuanjia will be able to pass the exam in the future? Or if he doesn't pass the exam, wouldn't our show of affection be in vain?"
Father Lu slapped him on the head: "Stupid! Even if Yang Yuanjia can't pass the exam, a scholar is worthy of our Lu family's friendship. And he is only ten years old and is a junior three-year-old scholar, how can he fail the exam? You know Is it? I went to visit the Yang family today and found that Yang Yuanjia was so young that he won this honor, but he didn't even have the slightest arrogance, and he was very calm. This son is definitely not in the pool!"
Lu Jing scratched his head and was a little dumbfounded. He didn't expect his father's evaluation of Yang Yuanjia to be so high!
Father Lu pondered: "Yang Yuanjia has a bright future in the future, that is, he is from a low background and is from Ping'an County, so our Lu family will have a chance to catch up on this line. It will not be long before Yang Yuanjia will go to Fuxue to study, it happens that our family is in Fucheng. Our branch needs to be checked, so this year you go with dad!"
"Ah?" Lu Jing opened his mouth in surprise.
"Ah what!" Father Lu slapped him again, "I'm here to create an opportunity for you to make friends with Yang Yuanjia, don't do anything bad with your father, or you won't have any pocket money!"
When Lu Jing heard that his pocket money might be running out, he hurriedly assured: "Dad, don't worry! I can definitely do it!" Isn't it just flattering? no problem!
Until the day that Lu Jing and Yuan Jia agreed.
In the morning, before the private school was over, Lu Jing stood up and said in front of the whole class: "Today I have prepared a banquet in my restaurant to celebrate our youngest scholar, Gong Gong Jia, everyone, let's go together! "
The classmates have heard the wind one by one, and they have long been looking forward to it. Now they heard the truth from Lu Jing's mouth, and they all responded: "Let's go together! Of course we are going!"
When the private school was over in the morning, everyone headed for the Lu family restaurant under the leadership of Lu Jing.
The largest box on the third floor of the Lu family restaurant was specially vacated today to entertain Yuan Jia, and Lu Jing led people straight to the box on the third floor.
＜＜＜＜＜＜
Yuan Jia came a step late. When he came to the Lu family restaurant, Lu Jing was waiting for him at the door.
Yuan Jia smiled at Lu Jing: "I'm late."
Lu Jing hurriedly said, "Brother Yuanjia came just in time, it's never too late, we came early!"
Lu Jing led the way sideways: "Brother Yuanjia, let's go to the box on the third floor."
Yuan Jia and Lu Jing went upstairs together. The people who were eating in the lobby on the first floor were a little curious when they saw this scene: "Who is that boy? How could the young master of the Lu family treat him so well?"
To say that the attitude is good is to be reserved. Lu Jing's attitude towards Yuan Jia is now flattering.
Everyone has speculated about Yuan Jia's identity, but no one has guessed on the recently famous prodigy Xiucai Gong. Because Yuan Jia's body is growing so fast, he looks like a twelve- or thirteen-year-old boy, not like a ten-year-old child.
Yuan Jia and Lu Jing came to the door of the box, Lu Jing pushed open the door, Yuan Jia walked in, and saw that all the classmates in the private school were invited by Lu Jing, whether they were from Class A or Class B.
These people were chatting enthusiastically. When they heard the sound of the door opening, they turned their heads to look and saw that it was Yuan Jia walking in. The scene fell silent, and everyone stood up one after another: "Brother Yuan Jia is here!"
Obviously, most of the people present were older than him, but they all learned from Lu Jing to call him brother.
This makes Yuan Jia have a subtle feeling that he has become the boss of the black society.
Yang Sanzhu was also present. The main seat beside him was empty. He waved to Yuanjia: "Brother Yuanjia, sit here!"
Yuan Jia walked over to him, then smiled at everyone: "Everyone sit down!"
The people who got up sat down, and the atmosphere became lively again, but one or two were like Lu Jing, blowing rainbow farts at Yuan Jia awkwardly.
If there were people who were jealous of Yuan Jia in the past, now that Yuan Jia has reached the point where everyone looks up to him, he can't be jealous anymore, only envy and longing are left.
Yuan Jia has been the proud son of heaven since he was a child. He has seen many such occasions and communicated with ease among the people. His attitude was neither arrogant and indifferent, nor did people feel weak or bullied. The identity of the public has become a person in awe of him.
Yang Sanzhu sat beside Yuan Jia and watched, secretly shocked. Could it be that this is the legendary genius who was destined to become a boss? He was obviously only a ten-year-old child, younger than many of the people present, but he could make everyone see him as a leader unconsciously.
Is this the personality charm of the boss?
＜＜＜＜＜＜
Three years later.
At the age of 13, Yuan Jia, who has grown into a handsome young man, has been doing well in the school. The gentlemen in the school are very fond of this talented student who is sensitive and eager to learn, and most of the classmates are right, except for those who have a bad mind. Yuan Jia, a smart but hard-working classmate, admires him very much.
After three years in the school, Yuan Jia decided that he could pass the rural exam.
In the beginning, the examination for Xiucai was to become famous as soon as possible and to improve the environment of the Yang family, so that he would end up taking the imperial examination at a young age.
But actually being too young was a disadvantage in the imperial examinations.
Because the examiner is likely to think that the genius is too young, it is inevitable that he is arrogant and needs to be well polished, so he presses down on the ranking, euphemistically called "in order to let the genius sharpen his temperament".
Yuan Jia was young, even if he was admitted to the top spot with a smooth journey, the ten-year-old champion was still a young boy in the eyes of the imperial court. , on the contrary, it is a waste of youth.
Therefore, Yuan Jia decided not to rush the test in the township examination, but to be patient and polish his level more.
Yuan Jia went back to Ping'an County with Yang's father and mother a few months before the township exam.
At the beginning, Father Yang planned to move his family to Fucheng, but the housing prices in Fucheng were expensive, and the prices were much higher than those in Ping'an County, so moving was not that easy.
He came to Fucheng from Ping'an County to study three years ago. The head of the Lu family and Lu Jing also happened to come to Fucheng to check accounts.
Father Lu is also a good person. When he deliberately befriends good people, his words and actions make people feel like spring breeze, and it is difficult not to have a good impression of him.
After walking all the way, Father Yang and Father Lu became much closer. Father Lu proposed to lend the Yang family a house bought by the Lu family in Fucheng. After thinking for a while, Father Yang thought that it was unrealistic to buy a house and rent someone else’s house. The house is not convenient, it is better to rent the house of the Lu family.
It happened that Father Lu wanted to make a good deal, so he rented the house to the Yang family at a very low price. Father Yang did not agree at first, thinking that the price was too low to take advantage of the Lu family.
Then Father Lu shrewdly sent Lu Jing over. Father Lu found a school in Fucheng, asked Lu Jing to transfer to study, and entrusted Lu Jing to the Yang family: "My son is pampered and mischievous, I also ask you Take more care!"
So Father Lu logically packed Lu Jing into the house in Fucheng to live with the Yang family, and at the same time lowered the rent reasonably.
Father Yang was naturally speechless, agreed, and then asked Mother Yang to take care of Lu Jing more.
After going back and forth like this, Lu Jing's relationship with the Yang family has become much closer, and the relationship between the Lu family and the Yang family has also been frequent, like relatives and friends.
Yuan Jia and his parents returned to their home in Ping'an County, where Yang Sanzhu still lives.
Originally, Father Yang planned to take Yang Sanzhu to Fucheng and transfer him to a school in Fucheng.
However, Yang Sanzhu knows his identity very well, and it makes no sense to take advantage of the second uncle's house. The tuition and living expenses in Fucheng are much more expensive than those in the county, and his money for selling soap is not enough.
Therefore, Yang Sanzhu insisted on staying in Ping'an County to study, saying that he was used to Li Xiucai's teaching, and did not want to transfer schools, for fear that he would not be able to keep up when he went to Fucheng.
Father Yang was not good at forcibly taking Yang Sanzhu to Fucheng, so he asked Li Xiucai to take care of Yang Sanzhu more, and then went back to Yangjia Village to tell Yang Sanzhu's parents about it, so he was relieved to keep him in Ping'an County.
Seeing Yuan Jia and the others coming back, Yang Sanzhu said happily, "Second Uncle, Second Aunt, Brother Yuanjia, you are back!"
Father Yang asked with a smile, "Is there nothing to do in these two months?" Father Yang will come back every two months to check on Yang Sanzhu's situation.
Yang Sanzhu replied: "It's okay, there are servants working at home, I'm just like the eldest young master, I don't have to do anything, I go to a private school every day to study, and my husband takes care of me, what else can I do?"
It's just that what Yang Sanzhu didn't say is that his uneasy mother, Mrs. Li, found out that Yang's father and Yang's mother had moved to Fucheng, and the house in the county town was vacant, so he lived alone, and Mrs. Li turned around three or four times. Yang Sanzhu wanted to move in in the name of taking care of him.
Yang Sanzhu knew very well about Li's temperament, and he was really a person who didn't take advantage enough. Therefore, Yang Sanzhu firmly rejected Li, and then was kicked out of the house by Li.
In the past, he would go back to Yangjia Village several times a month, but since he fell out with the Li family, Yang Sanzhu has gone back less often. Even if he goes back, he will only visit Grandpa Yang and Grandma Yang, but he can't talk to his parents and brothers.
Last month, Mrs. Li mentioned this to him again, and Yang Sanzhu was so angry that he never returned to Yangjia Village.
Yang Sanzhu's father and elder brother in this life are the kind of people who can't beat a fart with a stick, and can suffocate himself to death by talking to them. And Li Shi and his second brother Yang Erzhu are mother and son, and they have exactly the same temperament as the one who likes to take advantage of others. Yang Sanzhu doesn't like it at all.
It's the second uncle's family. Yang Sanzhu has lived in the second uncle's house for a long time, and he almost considers himself a member of the second uncle's family.
Yuan Jia took a few glances at Yang Sanzhu. Yang Sanzhu, who has grown up a lot, has become stronger and his skin has turned a lot whiter, but he has become a lot more handsome. He used to be as thin and black as a little monkey.
Yuan Jia asked, "Brother Sanzhu, how is your study? Did your husband let you try it out?"
Yang Sanzhu's expression changed slightly, and he said embarrassingly, "Well, sir, said that I still need to polish and practice more."
Yuan Jia had an idea in his heart, so he didn't ask any more questions, so as not to be embarrassed by his scumbag younger brother.
At lunch, because the host's family came back, the cook made the meal very rich.
I was eating when I suddenly heard a lot of noise outside. Someone ran over to report that Yuan Jia's aunt is here!
Yang Sanzhu's face changed greatly, and he suddenly stood up: "I'll go out and check the situation!"
Yuan Jia also put down his chopsticks, "I'll go take a look too."
When Yang Sanzhu walked outside the door, he saw Mrs. Li swearing at the servants who were guarding the door: "My old lady is the aunt of Xiu Cai Gong! My son lives here with you, why can't I go in when I come to see my son? "
Yang Sanzhu's face was ugly: "Mother!" He looked at Yang Erzhu who was standing behind Li, "Second brother, why are you here?"
Yang Erzhu looked at the shiny new clothes on Yang Sanzhu's body, and the jealousy in his eyes could not be hidden, and said yin and yang strangely: "You are enjoying the happiness in the city, and you are not allowed to enjoy the happiness of your parents, of course your mother will come to find you, this unfilial son! "
Li shi put his hands on his hips and said to Yang Sanzhu with raised eyebrows and raised eyes: "You stinky brat, you forget your mother after being raised by others for a few days, right?"
"Just for a few days?"
Yuan Jia's faint voice came from behind Yang Sanzhu.
Yang Sanzhu turned back and saw Yuan Jia also coming out, his face was very embarrassed: "Brother Yuan Jia, why did you come out too?"
Yuan Jia took a few steps and glanced at Li Shi and Yang Erzhu lightly: "I just came out to see who was making trouble at my door. It turned out to be the eldest aunt and the second cousin."
