He asked cautiously, "Could it be that I, I am wrong?"
Ji Xiaosi's voice startled Zheng Wanjun, and she quickly said, "Yes! You're absolutely right! Xiao Silang, I've discovered that you're very smart!"
I understand it at once!
Subsequent facts proved that Ji Xiaosi not only understood things immediately, but was also able to draw inferences about other situations.
So, when Zheng Wanjun brought the finished product made by Ji Xiaosi to Mr. Zheng and Mr. Zheng called Ji Xiaosi to his home, Ji Xiaosi showed his talent for reading.
He may not have as good a memory as Zhao Qingyun, but he can recite it three times.
The key is that Ji Xiaosi works hard enough and is also pitiful enough.
There are still some shortcomings.
This instantly doubled the frustration Mr. Zheng felt at Zhao Qingyun's expense.
Ahem, Mr. Zheng does love talent and values geniuses like Zhao Qingyun.
But Zhao Qingyun was too smart. He had a photographic memory and could recite the books he had read easily.
At the age of nine, he is still extremely self-disciplined.
Facing Zhao Qingyun, Mr. Zheng felt helpless as if he had nowhere to teach.
Moreover, although Mr. Zheng was unwilling to admit it, he had a faint sense of jealousy in his heart.
Mr. Zheng comes from a scholarly family with seven Jinshi (imperial examination) graduates, and both his father and son achieved the title of Tanhua (top scholar).
His father and elder brother are both extremely talented people.
Only he was born weak.
From childhood to adulthood, I have taken more medicine than food.
Studying and taking the imperial examinations also require a healthy body.
It seems that Mr. Zheng has had shortcomings since he was born.
His parents didn't have high expectations of him.
As long as he lives well and can successfully marry and have children, his parents will be satisfied.
Although his parents did not have high expectations of him, Mr. Zheng did not feel relieved. Instead, he felt sad that he was not valued.
What made him even more sad was that not only was he not as healthy as his elder and second brothers, he was also not as good at studying as them.
His parents, relatives and outsiders all thought that he was unable to study well because of his poor health.
But only Mr. Zheng himself knew that even if he was in good health, he was not cut out for studying.
However, with the excuse of being weak, his mediocrity went unnoticed.
Mr. Zheng was unwilling to give up.
He studied doubly hard. A smart person can memorize something after reading it once, so he read it ten or a hundred times.
In addition to the family background, the Zheng family's reading atmosphere and educational resources still influenced Mr. Zheng.
He passed the examination for the title of scholar at the age of sixteen and the title of juren at the age of nineteen.
Mr. Zheng tried his best, as he knew very well that becoming a Juren (a juren) was probably his limit.
But family members and outsiders don’t know.
They just think that Mr. Zheng is just being held back by his body.
At the age of 22, Mr. Zheng took part in the provincial examination without giving up.
As a result, he fainted on the first day and was carried out of the Imperial Examination Hall. He almost died.
Everyone in the Zheng family was terrified, and even Mr. Zheng himself accepted his fate.
He simply took his wife and son back to his hometown to cultivate himself and teach.
In fact, even Mrs. Wan was carefully selected by the Zheng family.
Wan's family background was not high, and her grandfather was a farmer. It was not until her father passed the imperial examination and became an official that the Wan family's status changed.
My mother was a good fertile woman and gave birth to four sons and one daughter.
Wan was the eldest daughter and had been helping her mother take care of her four younger brothers since she was old enough to understand.
He has a strong personality, can support the family, and take care of others.
Mr. Zheng's mother was attracted by this point about Mrs. Wan, so she married her to Mr. Zheng regardless of her family background.
Mr. Zheng: ...
At first he felt wronged because his eldest sister-in-law was the daughter of the Duke's Mansion and his second sister-in-law was the daughter of the Shangshu Mansion.
Even my third brother, who was born out of wedlock, married the daughter of the uncle's family.
Only he, although he was the youngest legitimate son, could only marry the daughter of a fourth-rank official in the Imperial College.
Wan's grandmother and mother were both peasant girls, and they didn't know anything about the rules of aristocratic families!
Although Wan is capable, but, but——
However, after Wan married him, she took care of him in every possible way, even feeding him medicine and food herself, instead of relying on slaves and maids to do it.
Wan also has a heartfelt admiration and respect for herself.
She would not despise herself for not being as good as her father and brothers, nor would she despise herself for having to rely on her family to make a living and not even having a decent future.
People's hearts are warmed up little by little.
In addition, Mrs. Wan's horoscope may really be a good sign for a prosperous husband.
In the second year after Mr. Zheng married Mrs. Wan, Mr. Zheng successfully passed the imperial examination. On the day the results were announced, Mrs. Wan gave birth to their eldest son.
Double happiness.
That day was definitely the highlight of Mr. Zheng’s life.
Everyone envied him and praised him.
After following her husband back to her hometown, Wan gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, which represented good luck.
Mr. Zheng feels that his life is not too bad.
If he could teach another brilliant student, he would be complete.
Zhao Qingyun is a good seedling. Even without Mr. Zheng's support, he should be able to rise to the top.
Mr. Zheng was delighted, disappointed, and even faintly jealous of Zhao Qingyun's high talent.
And this Ji Xiaosi finally made Mr. Zheng experience the joy of being a teacher...
