Chapter 394 It’s time to wake up from this dream
Later, she didn’t approach Yu Wenshu on purpose, but occasionally she would sneak a peek from a distance.
Sometimes Yu Wenshu wouldn’t notice, and sometimes she would be caught red-handed.
Yu Wenshu was a gentleman, and would just smile at her if he was caught.
Until one day, her mother stuffed a basket of eggs into her hand.
"You are familiar with the scholar in the academy. Go and give this basket of eggs to him and ask him to help your brother with his studies and try to get your brother into the academy. This way, your brother can at least become a scholar, and he won't have trouble finding a wife."
She held the basket of eggs, at a loss: "Mother, in fact, the scholar and I haven't seen each other very often. He was willing to help me last time, which was very good. How can I ask for more..." She
was interrupted by her mother before she finished her words: "You child! What do you mean by asking for more? He is so good at studying, what's wrong with helping your brother!"
"Besides, we didn't let him teach your brother for nothing. Didn't we give him eggs?"
She was very hesitant holding the eggs.
Even if they are educated, that is their business. How can you teach them just because of a basket of eggs?
"Your brother has never been to such a good academy before, so he has never been able to pass the exam to become a scholar. If he can also enter Wandu Academy, maybe he can pass the exam to become a judge. Then you will have a brother who can be a judge to support you at your mother's home."
"And I heard that the scholars in Wandu Academy are very good. It would be great if you could take the opportunity to marry one of them."
Her mother smiled and said, "I have eaten more salt than you have eaten rice. I can see at a glance that the scholar must like you."
"You are more blessed than your two sisters."
She tightened her hand holding the basket.
Does the scholar really like her?
She was almost tempted by this sentence and came to Yu Wenshu, holding the egg and timidly asked Yu Wenshu to teach her.
The scholar who was hiding and eavesdropping could not help but stand up and laughed, "You are really delusional, Wenshu is the head of our academy, do you know who the head is?"
"He is deeply loved by the teacher. As long as he doesn't make any mistakes, he will definitely pass the exam. Seeing that the Spring Examination is approaching, you let him teach your brother at this time. Do you want to ruin him?"
She didn't know what the Spring Examination was.
Hearing what the other scholars said, she hurriedly waved her hands: "Sorry, I don't know about the Spring Examination, don't worry about it."
She wanted to leave in a hurry, but was stopped by Yu Wenshu.
"Wait a minute."
"Will you be scolded if you go back like this?"
Of course you will.
If the matter is not done, her mother will definitely scold her.
"Go back and tell them that I have something to do these few days, and I will come to your house in a few days."
Yu Wenshu's classmates looked at him in surprise: "Are you crazy? Going to teach others at this time?"
"I just said I was going to take a look, I didn't say I was going to teach."
Yu Wenshu smiled and said: "I don't teach everyone. At least you have to memorize the Four Books and Five Classics."
Memorizing the Four Books and Five Classics is the basis of the imperial examination. If you can't even memorize these, then what's the point of taking the exam.
Instead, he randomly picked a few sentences to test the other party and find some faults. Why make the girl embarrassed.
"Yu Wenshu, Yu Wenshu, didn't I see that you are quite sympathetic to women."
Pan Niang blushed when she listened to the conversation between Yu Wenshu and his friends.
Yu Wenshu said calmly, "I just think this girl looks a bit like my sister, so I can't help but take care of her. Don't talk nonsense and ruin the girl's innocence."
The resemblance to my sister was of course false.
Although his sister was gentle, she was definitely not such a pitiful person who couldn't even speak.
When he first met this girl, he just thought she was very interesting. She always hid in the dark alley and secretly looked at him.
Later, he couldn't help but feel curious and wanted to know why this girl was secretly looking at him. After
a long time, he didn't want to explore it anymore, and even felt a little boring.
Until that day, he saw the girl sitting alone at the door of the bookstore crying, and he couldn't help but approach her to talk to her.
When he saw the girl crying like a pitiful little face of a cat, he was a little at a loss.
He was not a nosy person, but he still helped the girl fix the damaged books.
No one knew, but the pitiful look of the girl was always on his mind, making him unable to sleep.
He actually looked forward to meeting the girl again.
In the past, he didn't care about the gaze from behind, but now he gradually cared about it.
When he saw her today, his heart beat uncontrollably.
"Thank you."
Pan Niang stuffed the basket in her hand into Yu Wenshu's hand and turned around and ran away.
Without waiting for Yu Wenshu to catch her, she shouted, "Mother won't blame me today."
Eggs are not like snacks. Snacks can be wrapped in handkerchiefs, but eggs can only be carried back in a basket.
She ran far away, then sneaked back, hiding in the alley and watching quietly.
The ugly basket of her own family was casually carried in Yu Wenshu's hand, and the basket in the background seemed to become elegant. A
few days later, Yu Wenshu really came, and he carefully asked his younger brother about his homework.
There are nine books in total, the Four Books and the Five Classics, but my younger brother couldn't recite any of them. Yu
Wenshu's usually gentle face was rarely angry.
"Even if you are a child of a few years old, you should at least be able to write the basics. Even if the teacher doesn't teach well, you can always memorize some by rote, right?"
"I can't accept you as my student. You should memorize the Four Books and the Five Classics first!"
The younger brother was furious, shouting that he didn't want Yu Wenshu to teach him anymore, and he also shouted that he didn't want to be a scholar.
The angry mother got angry and scolded her brother.
After a few days, the mother took the blue egg again and asked her to find Yu Wenshu.
Of course, she didn't dare to do that , so she could only sit in the alley holding the egg basket in a daze. She
