The next day, Tangli and his family took a horse carriage to Hedong County.
After all, they have lived in the house in Yaoshui Town for almost two years, and the children are reluctant to leave like this.
The children all lifted the carriage curtains and looked outside until they could no longer see anything, then they sat down obediently.
"Mom, if we move away, will Daddy be unable to find us?" Sanbao asked worriedly.
"Don't worry, your father is like a dog. He can find it by smelling the scent." Tang Li said.
Thinking of that silly and stinky man, Tang Li couldn't help but smile.
"Mother..." Sanbao wanted to speak.
"Shh." Erbao made a gesture, leaned close to Sanbao's ear, and whispered, "Mom is thinking about Daddy."
Sanbao shut his mouth and said nothing.
At this moment, Daddy must have appeared in Mom's mind. As soon as she disturbed him, Daddy ran away.
She followed suit, closing her eyes and letting her daddy appear in her little head.
The carriage stopped in front of the new house.
Tangli got off the carriage with the four children.
Sanbao's eyes were full of curiosity: "The new house is so big."
The courtyard wall is white with black tiles on top, and the gate and pillars are vermilion.
Pushing open the door, there is a large courtyard inside.
The yard is paved with pebbles and there is a small pond with a few trees planted next to it.
The house here is much bigger than the one in Yaoshui Town, and the bed is also much bigger.
Sanbao was immediately attracted to his new home and started running around with his short legs.
Dabao, Xu Jue and Erbao all have their own houses.
It’s not like Erbao hasn’t lived in a big house before, but living with his mother, brother and sister gives him a home-like feeling, which is very different.
The second baby is also very rare.
Tang Li also asked Zhang Qian and Aunt Zhao to set up a study, and Dabao and Xu Jue's books were placed in the study. From then on, the two of them no longer had to stay in the room to read, but could read in the study.
Dabao and Xu Jue entered the study. The windows were bright and clean, with books neatly arranged on the bookcases. There was also a large table and two chairs, which was very suitable for reading.
"Young masters, I only know a few words and don't have much knowledge, so please don't be offended if the book is placed incorrectly." Zhang Qian said.
"It's okay." Dabao said.
The two of them rearranged the books together.
This night was spent in the new home.
Everyone slept well.
The next morning.
Everyone got up one after another, and suddenly there was an urgent knock on the door.
Aunt Zhao ran to open the door.
The person standing outside the door was Lu Ling.
Lu Ling ran in hurriedly.
"Brother Zi'ang, Brother Xu Jue, are you free? Let me tell you, there is great news!" Lu Ling said.
Dabao was curious: "What good news?"
"Mr. Jiuting has come to our Hedong County and is now giving lectures in Juxianju. I have reserved a few seats for you. Come with me!" Lu Ling said.
"Mr. Jiuting?" Tang Li was attracted by the name.
"Yes, Mr. Jiuting is very knowledgeable. It is said that he graduated from Guiguzi School and studied under Guiguzi. He has taught several princes!" Lu Ling said.
Tang Li remembered that the novel mentioned that Mr. Jiuting was a very powerful person.
Guiguzi lived hundreds of years ago, so it's impossible for him to be his disciple. However, Mr. Jiuting's master is a descendant of Guiguzi. Therefore, he can be considered a disciple of Guiguzi.
The Guigu Sect is mysterious and unpredictable, and its successor is also a super-powerful leader. Mr. Jiuting, this leader, is extremely strict in accepting disciples, but if you can become his disciple, you will definitely benefit greatly!
If Dabao and Xu Jue could become Mr. Jiuting's disciples...
Maybe the two of them can reach a higher level of knowledge!
Tangli was a little excited: "Let's go, I'll go with you!"
Lu Ling was worthy of being the know-it-all in Hedong County. He had heard about this matter a long time ago. When they arrived, there were not many people in Juxianju, and Lu Ling even reserved a seat for them that was closer to Mr. Jiuting.
In the novel, Mr. Jiuting is very mysterious, with no description of his age or appearance.
At this moment, he was a middle-aged man in a long gown, with a gentle and unremarkable appearance. He was surrounded by a group of Confucian scholars from Hedong County, who were very respectful to him.
Not long after Tangli and the other two sat down, many people came over after hearing the news. Not only was Juxianju packed, but even the outside was crowded with people. They stretched their heads to look inside, wanting to catch a glimpse of Mr. Jiuting's true face.
"I've come to Hedong County today because of a destiny to meet you all," Mr. Jiuting said. "I came to your place today to find someone who is destined to be my disciple."
When he said this, everyone was very excited.
Mr. Jiuting actually wants to accept disciples!
If Mr. Jiuting takes a fancy to me, why would I need to go to the county school? I'd be promoted straight to the top!
"Mr. Jiuting, do you have any requirements for accepting a disciple?"
"Sir, what do you think of me?"
Several young students asked.
Mr. Jiuting smiled slightly and said, "Of course it depends on your talent. If your talent and learning appeal to me, I will accept you as my disciple."
Tangli and the two children were slightly excited.
If we really talk about talent and learning, Xu Jue and Dabao are the top scorers in this county exam, so these two little guys have great hope!
Several students looked at Xu Jue and Wei Ziang with some jealousy in their eyes.
"Sir, is that based on the results of this county exam?" someone couldn't help but ask.
Mr. Jiuting shook his head: "Of course not. I have my own way of testing my students, which is different from the county exam."
The students were immediately delighted.
Yes, that’s Mr. Jiuting!
The people who set the questions for the county examination are just some teachers. How can they compare with Mr. Jiuting?
The results of the county examination cannot represent a person's talent.
So there is hope for them all!
"Mr. Jiuting, would you like to test the teacher now?" said a Confucian scholar gathered beside Mr. Jiuting. He pointed to a young man in the crowd. "This is my nephew. He ranked 39th in the county exam, so he didn't pass. However, he is extremely intelligent, with wild imaginations, and is not a bookworm."
Mr. Jiuting looked at the man and asked a few questions.
The young man answered hesitantly, but Mr. Jiuting listened patiently and praised him for his ideas, which made the young man very happy.
Mr. Jiuting asked a few more people, some of whom looked impatient, while others were more satisfied.
"Wei Ziang and Xu Jue ranked first and second in this county exam. Mr. Jiuting, why don't you ask them?" someone said.
When Dabao and Xu Jue's names were called, they quickly stood up and bowed respectfully to Mr. Jiuting.
Mr. Jiuting looked at them and said, "Okay, then I'll test you. Wei Ziang, let me ask you a question..."
After Mr. Jiuting asked the questions, Dabao started talking freely. He spoke clearly, excitedly and confidently.
But he was suddenly interrupted halfway through his words.
"Is this the champion of this county exam?! Ridiculous! Totally ridiculous! I'm really disappointed! What you said seems to make sense, but in fact, he is just a rote memorizer and has no idea how to apply it flexibly!" Mr. Jiuting said angrily.
This scolding completely confused Dabao.
His face was burning and he felt a little overwhelmed.
