Chapter 2092 Meng Yunzheng's Small School

Meng Yunzheng did not give a perfunctory answer; he did indeed ask about the basic knowledge points involved in the county examination.

Starting with the easy questions and gradually moving to the difficult ones, Da Bao answered them with ease at first, which pleased Liang Shi greatly. She nodded frequently, showing great confidence.

But gradually, Da Bao began to feel overwhelmed. He often had to think for a long time before answering a question and needed Meng Yunzheng to give him a hint from time to time.

Later on, all he could do was stammer and shake his head.

Madam Liang was extremely anxious. If Shu Yu hadn't been holding her down and shaking her head, she would have rushed forward.

Meng Yunzheng didn't ask any more questions. He said to Liang, "Let's wait another two years."

“But he answered all the previous questions correctly,” Liang said, unwilling to give up.

"You answered the previous questions quite well, and your basic knowledge is decent, but you still need to familiarize yourself with the material more before taking the county-level exam."

Madam Liang was very disappointed. She didn't doubt that Meng Yunzheng was deceiving her. He was a top scholar and Ayu's fiancé, so he must want the Lu family to get better and better.

"Then, so it's not even allowed to tutor him during this period?"

Meng Yunzheng pondered for a moment. Tutoring Dabao wasn't a bad idea; he even thought it would be good to have Erniu come and study with him. After all, he was going to open an academy, and accumulating experience was essential.

If Arui passes the county exam next year, it will be good publicity for him.

If Erniu and Dabao make significant improvements, that would be even better.

Seeing his silence, Liang suddenly realized that Meng Yunzheng was about to participate in the imperial examination. During this period, he would definitely be busy studying, so where would he find the time to tutor others?

Although Liang wanted Da Bao to take the exam, her greatest strength was that she was pragmatic and knew what was important.

There's nothing more important than Meng Yunzheng's upcoming spring imperial examination; she'd better wait until he finishes it before making a decision.

Just as Liang was about to say no, Meng Yunzheng nodded in agreement, "Okay, I'll make a plan for Da Bao too."

He had experience with Shu Rui, but students have all sorts of personalities, and he wanted to see if his methods would be equally effective if he encountered a student like Da Bao.

Liang's eyes widened. "You...you just agreed?"

"Um."

Madam Liang was overjoyed. She looked at Shu Yu and, seeing that she had no objections, immediately thanked her repeatedly.

Only Da Bao stood there dumbfounded, and after a long while, he was so desperate that he almost cried.

The next day, Da Bao indeed came to the Lu family's house to report for duty.

Meng Yunzheng believed that teaching one person is teaching a group, so not only Da Bao and Er Niu came, but even Cui Hua's son came to class. Even Lu Sixing's sons Quan Quan and Xiao Song Le, who had just started their studies this year, moved their tables and chairs to sit and listen.

The Lu family specially set aside a room where a group of students, both young and old, sat in rows, creating the feeling of a small classroom.

Occasionally, A Ning and Xiao Zhen would come to listen to the lectures. One day, Da Niu even brought the old lady to sit in the back row early.

Even Xiao Huo Huo wanted to join in the fun, because there were so many kids around and it was no fun for him to play by himself.

The old lady was very worried. So many children were affecting A-Yun too much. What would happen to him when he took the imperial examination next spring? It was all the third son's wife's fault for causing this mess.

She privately approached Shu Yu, saying, "How about we just forget about it? All the children have their own schools, there's no need to take up A-Yun's time. A-Rui is fine too, he'll be taking the county exam next year, he can ask A-Yun occasionally if he doesn't understand something. But wouldn't the others just be causing A-Yun trouble?"
