"It has nothing to do with you. Don't be nervous."
Even more nervous.
Tu Yufan took the prepared salary and went to see Master Wang. He had a head full of silver hair but a bright look in his eyes, and was writing on paper with a brush.
Seeing Tu Yufan, he thought for a while and asked, "You are the father of Jinlou Guiye, right? What's the matter?"
"Master Wang, I want to go to a private school. Is that possible?"
Wang Fuzi's eyes flashed with surprise: "Have you ever studied the Four Books and Five Classics before?"
"I used to be a farmer and had never read a book."
Master Wang stroked his beard and said with understanding, "If you just want to learn a few words, then go to Dingfang."
"If you want to pass the exam, it would be best if you can catch up with the county exam this year."
The county examination is commonly known as the first round of the boy's examination. After passing the examination, one can continue with the subsequent examination to become a boy.
Mr. Wang thought he had heard it wrong and almost pulled his beard off.
"How old is your grandpa?"
"Thirty-five."
Master Wang thought he was making fun of him: "It's ridiculous. Learning is not something that can be accomplished overnight. Besides, you are already over thirty. If you rashly pursue the path of the imperial examination, you will only waste another hour."
"When I was young, my mind was unstable and my studies were just pushed forward by others. Now that I am a teenager, I have made up my mind and will be able to concentrate on studying. I hope you will be successful."
After Tu Yufan's repeated persuasion, Master Wang reluctantly agreed, but only because he had paid the full amount of silver. He did not hold any hope for Tu Yufan.
Because Tu Yufan had no basic knowledge, he was assigned to a group of little kids and had to start learning "Three Character Classic" and other enlightenment courses.
When Jin Lougui learned about this, he was immediately shocked. His father, who could kill him with one punch, actually wanted to study and pass the exam.
But he didn't dare to disobey his father. It was so hard that his father didn't beat him during this period, so he must continue to maintain this fine tradition.
But he found out it was too late.
His father must have worked really hard! !
When their family moved to a house in the county town, Tu Yufan specially built a larger study room.
Therefore, when Tu Yufan was reading late at night, Jin Lougui must be there; when Tu Yufan was exercising before dawn, Jin Lougui must be there.
Jin Lougui felt that this life was worse than being beaten, at least he wouldn't be tortured mentally.
"Are you sure that the Master interpreted this passage this way? Do you have a pig brain?"
"You have learned so much about the Four Books and Five Classics, yet you still stumble over them when reciting them. You must have learned too much."
"And your handwriting is as bad as a dog's. It's unbearable to read. You want to be a child with such bad handwriting? Are you dreaming? Copy this book ten times for me."
Jin Xiaoying walked into the study room with tea and saw Jin Lougui's hopeless expression. She lowered her head and tried to hold back a smile.
In the past, my father always gave in to my eldest brother in everything, and my eldest brother took it for granted and didn't respect my father very much. But now, things seem to be changing slowly.
