Be a master through ancient times

"Auntie, look at your grandson, who has delicate features and a clever face, and is also very articulate when he speaks. He looks like a good material for studying. If he is sent to the academy to study for a few years, he might be able to take the No. [-] Scholar exam in the future. As for the official, you may be called an old feudal monarch at that time."

A temporary worker was sitting at his relative's house, and kept looking at her little grandson, looking like a weasel trying to steal a chicken.

But honey was smeared on the weasel's mouth, so not only did Aunt Wang not notice it, but she burst into laughter.

"Where is it so powerful? I heard that the number one scholar came from the heavenly Wenqu star."

The temporary worker slapped his thigh: "Oh, this Wenquxing, I like to vote for kind-hearted people like you. Dabao has been quick at everything since elementary school. Maybe he is the reincarnation of Wenquxing!"

Aunt Wang smiled again: "You are the only one who can talk, but my Dabao is indeed faster at learning things than others." A little color flashed in her eyes, and in her heart, which children in these neighboring villages could have her family? Dabao is smart?

The temporary worker saw that the atmosphere was getting better, so he got to the point: "It's a pity..."

Aunt Wang looked over immediately: "What a pity?"

"Our Dabao is so smart, but it's a pity why my brother Zhong didn't send him to the village school? It is said that it is best to learn things when you are seven or eight years old. The older you are, the slower you learn. I thought our family could be born You little scholar, when the time comes, everyone will call you scholar-grandmother, and as an uncle, I can also get some credit. It’s a pity..." As he said that, the temporary worker showed a look of regret, and asked Aunt Wang to see, I feel very uncomfortable.

She glanced at her tiger-headed little grandson, and thought about what her nephew said. She couldn't help but start to imagine how beautiful she would be when she became a talented grandmother. The imagination is beautiful, but the reality is not so easy.

"Well, if you send it to the village school, there will be no one in the family to work. In the past, Dabao can help his father dry the nets and help his mother look for fish. Besides, this village school has to be repaired every month. I heard that Shuxiu is precious, and our family has finally improved..."

Anyone could hear the hesitation in her words. After hearing this, the temporary worker took out his trump card.

"This bunch of repairs is not expensive! In the past, it was good that the village school only collected money and food, but this year, Mr. Tixue ordered that you can use fish and shrimp instead. The fish and shrimp are calculated according to the monthly market price. When the time comes, let Brother Zhong carry half of the basket." Just pass the fish."

Aunt Wang's eyes widened: "Really?" Fish and shrimp are worthless in their place, so handing over fish is equivalent to free admission?

"Tsk, will your nephew still lie to you? If the village school doesn't accept fish at that time, I will pay Dabao to go to the village school with my own money, right?"

Aunt Wang smiled: "I'm relieved when you say that. But I can't ask you to pay for the fish if you really don't collect the fish. Anyway, tell him to go to see for two months first. If it doesn't work, let him come back and follow the fish." His father learned to fish."

"Don't worry, my Dabao nephew is so smart, how can he not succeed? I heard that Mr. Tixue also bought some scholarships. At that time, we will get money for the top few in the monthly exams. Maybe our Dabao can still do it." Get the money back!"

Aunt Wang couldn't stop laughing at what he said, and her expression turned into that of a weasel before she knew it when she saw her grandson.Only Dabao, who was still squatting outside playing with bugs, didn't know that he would be sent to school soon.

After the temporary worker registered for his aunt's grandson, he declined the invitation to stay for dinner and embarked on the road of lobbying again.

After seeing off her nephew, Aunt Wang was about to go back to the house when she heard the neighbor's old lady stop her.

"Zhong Erniang, is it your official nephew who left just now? He told you some good news. I heard you laugh all morning."

Everyone in the village liked to inquire, and Aunt Wang herself was one, so naturally she didn't feel disgusted. When she heard people ask, she just said it directly, and it happened that she also wanted to find someone to show off.

"Hey, it's nothing, it's just about letting my eldest treasure go to study. I heard that this year, the village school doesn't have to pay for food and money, and you only need to pay fish to go to study..."

The two old ladies were talking so much that they didn't notice that more and more people gathered around them.

……

Chu Ci looked at the news sent up below, and he found that the seven counties of Zhangzhou Prefecture had registered more than 100 children with school intentions on the first day, and he was very satisfied.

If this trend continues, the number of new students enrolled this year will definitely reach a record high. It seems that these officials are not incompetent, but lack the motivation to spur them on.

But he also knew that the people registered on the first day were probably relatives of these officials' families.For those who engage in pyramid schemes, the first downlines they develop are basically relatives and friends.Although their work of persuading students is not a pyramid scheme, everyone will subconsciously find their own family members first.Especially those officials, in order to be able to become regulars, they don't care if they talk about foaming, and they even mobilize their family members to persuade them.

There are those who work as hard as they do, and of course there are those who take advantage of missions to fish in troubled waters.In the horse hanging room of a certain courtyard near the west of the city, there were four officials "sneaking in", and they were all in charge of the warehouse in the Department of Education.

They chatted while rubbing the horse sling leisurely.

"You said, what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd surnamed Chu? Why do you always think that one is the other? Two." A person asked.

"Touch. Who knows, can Zhuangyuan Lang's brain be the same as that of us ordinary people?" The person sitting on his lower head said eccentrically, reaching out to pick up the horse hanging, and then threw out a piece of three cakes.

"Nonsense! I think he's really pissed off this time. I was sweating for him during the meeting yesterday, and I don't know how he dared to promise that? Anyway, I can't get the money out there." The person sitting opposite him The man spread the cards on the table with a smile on his face, urging others to take the silver.

"I'm stupid too." The last person spread out the cards slowly, "Our Master Tixue has a very rich family background. I heard that the subsidy money from last time has not been paid yet. This is all Master Chu. Out of my own pocket."

"This time, two or three thousand taels will not be able to solve the problem. The surname Chu promised to use fish and shrimp to repair it. Will the mountain chiefs and masters below agree? In addition to people, our Zhangzhou Prefecture is the cheapest fish and shrimp , you wait until then to see the good show.” The person who lit the cannon paid the money reluctantly, pushed the game, and asked the maids next to him to shuffle the cards.

Several people looked at each other, and they all saw a glimmer of expectation in each other's eyes.Since the arrival of this surname Chu, their leisurely days are gone forever.The most hateful thing is that he always likes to hang around in the Tixue Office. Although they are not afraid, he is on the top after all, and it is not good to act too much.These days, they wake up early every day, and the regular work and rest on time make their lazy bodies complain endlessly.If he hadn't ordered everyone to do this yesterday, I'm afraid they would have to sit in the yamen bitterly and count the hours!

……

Chu Ci naturally couldn't think of anything they could think of.He dared to speak out, of course because he thought of a solution.

"Dahu, has this thing made a way?" Chu Ci came to the kitchen and watched Zhang Hu hammer the white paste-like thing in the tub with a wooden pestle the size of a fist.

Dahu wiped his sweat with the apron on his body, and then said: "Master, it's almost done. I have tried many times in the past few days, and the things I made these few times are more and more like what you said!"

Chu Ci patted him on the shoulder, said "I like you", and hurried out of the kitchen, and when he walked into the yard, he slapped his nose several times with his hands.The smell of fish all over the room is really unbearable, thanks to Du Hu was born by the sea, otherwise he would really have to think hard to find someone to help.

Zhang Wenhai saw Chu Ci's actions from the window, and laughed so hard.Fu Mingan, who was buried in his book at the side, frowned, turned around and said, "Junior brother, you should be calm when writing an article, and don't be disturbed by external objects."

Zhang Wenhai suddenly felt powerless: "Can you stop calling me Junior Brother?"

"But Master said, I am a first-time disciple, and those who start from now on can call me junior regardless of their age. Junior brother, do you mean that you don't want to be under Mr.'s school?" Fu Mingan asked solemnly.

Zhang Wenhai's head hurts, and I don't know how such a funny person like Brother Chu taught such a "little old-fashioned".

Chang Xiao on the side was writing, his lips were tightly pursed, and he looked very serious, but it was actually because he was suppressing the laughter that was about to burst out of his mouth.

Although this Fu Mingan is young, he seems to have received the master's true biography in some aspects. This Mr. Zhang just said when they met, "How can a boy be born so beautiful? Could it be that he is a girl", which made him angry until now , every time he seriously teased Mr. Zhang, but the reason was so good that people couldn't say anything.

"Tsk, it's so lively? It seems that there are few homework assignments today." Chu Ci opened the door and entered the room, and there was a sudden silence inside.Xiao Chengzi, who rubbed Zhang Wenhai's ink on the side, was in awe. This Mr. Chu was probably born to rule over his young master. Every time his young master was in front of him, he was like a mouse seeing a cat, and he never got angry.

Fu Mingan stood up and bowed respectfully, and said, "Sir, I have already written one four-book question, one seven-character poem, five nine-chapter questions and five characters that you assigned to me, sir, do you want to check my homework? Fu Mingan blinked his big eyes, and quietly put the book he was reading behind him to block it.

With a smile in his eyes, Chu Ci seemed to have seen through his every move, and with just a quick grab, he took out the book that Fu Mingan hid behind him.He looked at the cover of the book, and then flipped through it casually.

"Are you watching "Shi Shuo Xin Yu"? Can you understand it?"

When Fu Mingan saw the book being flipped through by his husband, he was inevitably a little nervous, but seeing that Chu Ci was as gentle as usual, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"I can understand it. There are many interesting stories in it." Fu Mingan's face was filled with joy when he spoke, and he seemed to really enjoy reading this book.

"I also think so. This book can give us a glimpse of the style of celebrities in the Wei and Jin Dynasties. While it is amusing, it actually contains a lot of truth. When you grow up and revisit it, you may be able to understand it." I thought he was looking at something like a story book or a picture album, and sighed a few words in my heart, but I didn't expect it to be this book.

"Sir, don't you object to me reading this book?" Fu Mingan was a little surprised. His father and husband had completely different attitudes towards him reading these miscellaneous books that had nothing to do with the imperial examination.

"Why object?" Chu Ci asked back.

"My father said that this kind of book has nothing to do with the imperial examination. If you read too much, you will lose your temper. He usually doesn't let me read these books."

Chu Ci nodded clearly. Fu Mingan's father was upright and upright, restrained himself and respected the etiquette. Naturally, he couldn't get used to the appearance of these "real celebrities who were romantic", and I was afraid that it was normal for Fu Mingan to see it.But in his opinion, as long as you don't read those books that are not suitable for children, it is always beneficial to read more other books.

"Someone said that it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books. Before traveling thousands of miles to increase our knowledge, we might as well read thousands of books to broaden our knowledge. But we don't have to learn everything when we study. , you need to extract the essence and discard the dross before you can learn something. Just like your father is afraid that you will lose your temper after reading this book, what we have to learn from it is not the ancients getting drunk and pretending to be crazy, running naked in the city or other unreasonable things It is their self-confidence and frankness in the face of life, their attitude of not being stuck in things, and their uniqueness in dealing with people."

Fu Ming'an nodded earnestly. He felt that what the husband said made sense. Although he still didn't understand some of it, in time, he would definitely become a person like the husband.

Zhang Wenhai and Chang Xiao also stopped the pens in their hands at some point, pricked up their ears and listened carefully, with expressions of thinking appearing on their faces from time to time.

Chu Ci didn't say anything more. After putting down the book in his hand, he began to check their homework.Whenever he found something inappropriate, he would bend down and explain it patiently until they figured it out.

"Master, the fish balls are ready to eat!" Zhang Hu shouted, and came to the dining room with the hot fish balls.

The steaming fish balls look white and tender, with a few scallions dotted on them. Just looking at them makes people feel comfortable, not to mention the fresh smell that can be smelled before approaching. The fragrance is gone.

Zhang Hu was full of pride in his heart, after all, he was asked to make this thing.His master said that if he makes it, it will be considered a great achievement for him, and his benefits will be indispensable at that time!
