With both parents deceased, Yu Tingwan lived under others' roofs, diligently working from dawn till dusk. Her maternal aunt was cruel, intending to sell her to a lecherous gentryman well past s...
Chapter 209 She was quick, accurate and ruthless
. It would be strange if anyone could pick on her.
Wei Shen could teach Ren Qi.
No matter how talented he was, no one was responsible for teaching him. He was always fighting outside.
How could he have the energy to study?
Wei Shen was probably a half-baked person who was lucky enough to get lucky?
"I'm just saying this, but if other people hear it, they will probably laugh at you."
"Why don't you say he can be the top scorer!"
Yu Tingwan blinked and looked at Wei Zhao: "Can he?"
After all, the girl was unsure. Wei Zhao had never really demonstrated his ability in front of her.
He was not good at literature. He
was not good at martial arts either
. Wei Zhao was really too delicate in front of her.
Yu Tingwan simply couldn't imagine Wei Zhao killing people on the battlefield.
"Yes."
His tone was light.
"But I don't value these false names."
"I can't spare the time to take the imperial examination."
Yu Tingwan nodded. Now, she would never think that Wei Zhao was bragging.
But Master Zhao was silent.
Brother Wei was good in every way, but
he was too concerned about his reputation. How could it be so easy to pass the exam to become the top scholar? How many people spent their entire lives passing the exams and still remained a scholar? It was extremely rare for Lord Yang Weiwen to pass the third place at such a young age.
Master Sun: ???
He looked at Yu Tingwan beside him in disbelief, and then at Wei Zhao.
No wonder they were a couple.
It's really a case of matching the pot with the lid!
Not modest at all.
He wanted to test Wei Zhao's knowledge.
"I heard from Ren Qi that he showed you some books in the room before?"
That was true.
Wei Zhao flipped through a few pages and didn't move.
Old Master Sun sighed: "Among them, the book with a blue cover was bought when I went to a bookstore in Jiangnan. It was written down by some literati at a poetry meeting, and only a hundred copies were published. At that time, I emptied my pockets. But it was worth it. I benefited a lot after reading it."
"What do you think?"
Wei Zhao said indifferently: "Gaudy but not practical."
Thinking of the lofty ambitions revealed in the poem, Wei Zhao hit the nail on the head: "You can only moan without illness, no wonder you can't get into the officialdom."
Old Master Sun: ? ? ?
Wei Zhao: "If you like the poems, I will have someone send some good ones back."
Old Master Sun: ? ? ?
Although I want to refute, but thinking about it in this way, it seems... there is a little truth.
"What about the one with a black cover?"
Old Master Sun straightened his back.
That book is amazing!
"It was written by the chief of the Imperial College, and it has been widely circulated among the people in recent years."
Wei Zhao: ...
He has never flipped through it.
Because he knows what is written in it.
He even helped to change a few places at the beginning.
Wei Zhao: "It's pretty good."
Master Sun wanted to ask something else, but he caught a glimpse of Yu Tingwan laughing.
"What are you laughing at? I've brought it all to you, why don't you go and copy it, so that I can see if your handwriting has improved!"
The smile on Yu Tingwan's face disappeared.
"We should be able to discuss this matter again."
Master Sun: "You want me to urge you again?"
After that, he said to Wei Zhao: "That's great, you can write a few words for me to see."
As he said that, he opened the book he gave to Nannan and asked Wei Zhao to choose one sentence to write.
Wei Zhao's hands were weak, but he still wrote a few words perfunctorily. It was different from his usual style.
Yu Tingwan glanced over and laughed.
It was exactly the same as the handwriting in the book.
I didn't expect he had this ability.
Wei Zhao said in a faint tone: "Is this okay?"
Master Sun:...
This kid is really good!
He himself almost thought he wrote it himself.
Wei Zhao pointed his hand, and his slender fingertips landed on the book.
"This is not right."
This is Master Sun's masterpiece: "Why is it wrong?"
His face was about to fall.
Wei Zhao explained briefly.
Master Sun was silent for a moment: "Help me take another look."
Wei Zhao reluctantly agreed.
He read very quickly, flipping through the book.
"This is also wrong." He
continued to explain.
Flick, lick.
"This is still the same old problem."
Wei Zhao was too lazy to explain and just changed it.
Master Zhao listened attentively.
Master Sun went from being unhappy at the beginning to blushing later, and even many confusions were suddenly cleared up.
Yu Tingwan picked up a pastry and nibbled it on the side.
When Wei Zhao had almost finished speaking, she wiped her mouth and hurriedly stated her position.
"Since there are so many flaws, I won't copy it."
Reading is indeed useful.
In the past, she racked her brains to fight wits and courage alone, but Wei Zhao downplayed it and silenced the master.
Yu Tingwan smiled at Master Sun like a cat stealing fish: "I am not nitpicking and deliberately finding fault with you. But I think that you are more or less not presentable."
"You have always accepted criticism and strived for the best, why not take it back and think about it carefully and make some changes."
Master Sun is very worried now.
He almost feels that Yu Tingwan, a troublemaker, is not worthy of the Wei family.
Fortunately, he succeeded!
She was quick, accurate and ruthless.
Who can be as picky as her!
He slapped the table and shouted.
"Wei Shen!"
Yu Tingwan's heart trembled three times.
Wei Zhao did not respond.
Master Sun slapped it again.
Wei Zhao: "Oh."
"I almost forgot."
"You are calling me."
Master Sun: "Are you interested in teaching in the academy?"
He was very excited.
"With your talent, you will definitely be able to teach..."
No.
"It's a waste of talent."
He paused.
"You should take the imperial examination!"
The Wei family army has dispersed, where can Wei Shen go after he recovers?
Other military camps are not good places to go.
Wei Zhao: "No."
"Listen to me."
Master Sun stood up and said, "I don't have many connections, and you have to rely on your own ability to take the imperial examination."
"But no one in the county academy can teach you. You should go out, go to Jiangnan! Go to Shangjing!"
"You have the ability, don't be afraid that those places will not accept you. If you go there to display your talents, those places will probably be eager to take you."
He put his hand on Wei Zhao's shoulder and patted it excitedly.
"However, I recommend Shangjing's Huaqing Academy the most."
Wei Zhao's eyelids twitched.
Yu Tingwan brought water to drink.
Really, when the master knows Wei Zhao's identity in the future, he will be ashamed to see people.
Yu Tingwan... I really want to see it.
Master Zhao also became excited: "Huaqing Academy was founded after Gu Taifu returned to Beijing and took office. Not only are the tuition fees cheap, but the Gu family also spends a lot of money every year to improve the students' meals. The academy only accepts educated students from poor families."
Master Sun nodded: "Yes, his daughter is weak, and Master Gu did all this to support the poor students and to bring blessings to his daughter so that she can have a smooth life." "
I only hope that my child will be stupid and rude, and live in peace and safety without disasters. Parents in the world are pitiful."
Master Sun turned his head and looked at the traitor . "Don't
look at the noble status of the master, which is very different from us, but he, like your father, loves his daughter."
Yu Tingwan's expression remained unchanged.
The hands on her knees were stirring helplessly.
She said very softly: "Really?"
