Chapter 130: Unlucky
"That won't work. If I follow you, I will have to go to class with those children who are beginning to learn. It's a pity for someone like this to go to school. Why don't you follow me?"
Meng Zi rubbed his hands again and again, "Yes, follow me, I will definitely teach him well."
That is the ability to remember everything one hears. As long as one is a little smarter, the imperial examination will not be a problem at all.
He said that he had to send a juren out of this school so that that old man could take a look at him.
"Well, it's just a temporary impulse..."
Zhang Wenbin curled his lips, but seeing that Mengzi was serious and determined, he did not say anything to object, and just said, "It's up to you."
Don't go back and cry to him about how difficult it is to teach students and to be a teacher.
Seeing that Zhang Wenbin agreed, Mencius almost jumped three feet high, and then went to the classroom to help Song Jingyun arrange the seat she would sit tomorrow.
And Zhang Wenbin was still looking at the students' homework.
Don’t be angry, don’t be angry, I’m not angry.
Hold on, hold on, these are all students I taught myself...
Thus it was decided that Song Jingyun would go to Hongle Academy in town.
On that day, Jiang Mixia's family once again prepared for Song Jingyun to go to school.
Although Master Meng said that nothing needed to be prepared, it was Song Jingyun's first time going to school after all, so he still prepared the things he had previously prepared for studying.
Considering that he had to stay in the academy all day and couldn't come back until noon, Song Jingyun also brought a bamboo cup.
It is made by Jiang Mixia. It has a lid. After filling it with water, it won't leak even if you shake it back and forth. You can use it to drink water when you are in school.
Overall, there is nothing special. The only thing you need to pay attention to is how to go to school.
Song Jingyun had to go to school at noon every day, and his home was quite a distance from the town. If he walked, he would get up too early in the morning and come back too late at night, which was really too tiring.
The whole family discussed it and finally decided that Jiang Mixia would temporarily drive the ox cart to send Song Jingyun off every morning, and pick her up in the afternoon.
"My dear, you have to pick me up and drop me off at school every day. It's too hard for me."
Before going to bed at night, Song Jingyun thought about this and touched Jiang Mixia's arm.
"It's okay. I have nothing to do at home on weekdays, so it's good to walk around." Jiang Mixia said, "If I go to town every day, I can also help my family buy meat and daily necessities. If someone in the village asks me to bring something, it's just a good opportunity to help others."
Song Jingyun blinked.
My wife is not a person who has nothing to do every day. She is obviously very busy every day.
It was obvious that the lady said this because she wanted to reassure him.
Even the things about buying things are just excuses.
My wife is so nice to him.
But there are too few things I can do to be good to my wife...
Then I must study hard in the future, strive to pass the imperial examination as soon as possible, protect my wife, and make her proud! Song Jingyun made up his mind secretly.
The next morning, after having breakfast early, Jiang Mixia drove the ox cart and took Song Jingyun to the town.
The cows in the family have been raised for a long time and have already recognized their owners. They have become more docile. Jiang Mixia can now drive the ox cart skillfully and travels quite steadily on the road.
It is winter now. When I went out, the sky was still dim. After walking for a while, the sky gradually brightened.
The number of pedestrians on the road gradually increased, in groups of three or four, some walking, some riding in cars.
Jiang Mixia saw that it was getting late, so she couldn't help but speed up the carriage.
The cow's hooves pushed hard, the wheels turned, and some dust was splashed.
Some of the flying dust splashed onto the uppers of a pair of blue-gray shoes.
These are new shoes I just put on today. How could he not be more careful while driving? Jiang Chunbao stomped his feet distressedly, trying to stomp the dirt off his shoes, but when he stomped his feet, he stirred up more dust, making the shoes even dirtier.
unlucky!
Jiang Chunbao was very angry and glared fiercely at the ox cart in front of him.
But when he saw that the people sitting on the ox cart were not other people but his third uncle's cousin and her husband, he was stunned.
There was no market in the town today, and there was no need to sell baskets. What were they going to do in the town? And they went to the town in a bullock cart. Since they saw that he needed to walk to the academy, they didn't even call him and offer to give him a ride? Although he would not ride in the bullock cart of the third family.
After all, in Jiang Chunbao's opinion, the relationship between their family and the third branch is not as hostile as fire and water, but it is almost the same. Now it has almost reached the point where although there is no fighting, no one pays attention to each other when they meet.
Moreover, the Sanfang family's business is getting bigger and bigger, making more and more money, and Jiang Chunbao is becoming more and more disdainful.
The smell of money is so strong that they are no longer farmers but disgusting merchants.
However, even though he disliked them and he didn't want to ride in a carriage, and even though the two families had a bad relationship in the village, outside of the village, they were cousins after all, and Jiang Mixia and Song Jingyun were still his sixth sister and brother-in-law.
As my cousin and her husband, when they meet outside, they should greet each other and give way. If they don’t, it’s their fault.
Jiang Chunbao was furious and kicked a stone at his feet away.
The shoes were already dirty with dust, and because of kicking stones, they were covered with a large patch of dust, and the edges of the stones roughened a small area of the shoe surface.
Jiang Chunbao couldn't see anything because of the dust, so he just turned his head and walked towards the town.
Jiang Mixia drove the ox cart all the way to Hongle Academy.
Meng Ziting was already waiting at the entrance of the academy. When he saw Jiang Mixia and Song Jingyun driving the ox cart over, his eyes suddenly lit up and he hurried over to greet them, "Finally you're here."
I've been waiting for so long! "Hello, Master." Song Jingyun bowed respectfully.
"Good, good." Mencius clapped his hands and laughed.
As long as you come, everything will be fine.
"Come and take a look at the academy. I have arranged a seat for you. Come and get familiar with it and meet your classmates." Meng Ziting pulled Song Jingyun and walked inside.
"Madam, I'll go in first." Song Jingyun did not forget to say to Jiang Mixia.
"Go ahead, I'll pick you up in the evening." Jiang Mixia smiled and watched Song Jingyun enter the academy before driving the ox cart back.
Meng Ziting dragged Song Jingyun into the academy almost jogging. After arriving at the room, he pointed to the seat at the front and said, "Sit here."
"Okay." Song Jingyun put down the small bamboo box on his back and took out the things he needed from it.
Pen, ink, paper, inkstone, etc.
Because he didn't know what kind of book to study, he didn't bring any books with him.
Mencius listened and brought a few books over and stuffed them into his hands.
The second update will be around in the evening~ (End of this chapter)
