This is not something I can envy.
All the dining tables were placed on the corridor outside the yard. The space was spacious and one could enjoy a view of the scenery outside. Most importantly, no one would break into their room.
What Zhao Xiaoyu was most satisfied with at the Nuanfeng Wine Bar today was that no one entered their bedroom. Having a larger place does have its advantages.
It was the first time that Xiao Lei sat at the main table with Zhao Dashu to entertain guests. The clan leader, Zhao Dashu and others all looked at him and marveled at his good luck.
Don't look down on the people who come to your home, they live a much more comfortable life than them.
"Dashu, even though your family will live here in the future, you still have to visit the village more often. If you have any problems, come to us. Your father is gone, and your uncle will definitely help you deal with any problems. Remember, you are not alone, we and the Zhao family are here to support you!"
"Thank you, uncle. But you also know that we have never had much to do at home. Living here means even less trouble. As for the village, I go there almost every day to attend classes."
When it comes to this, everyone is even more puzzled, "Why don't you bring the Master's family over to live with you?"
"Master has his own plans. Besides, his family is used to living in the village, and the old man likes to stroll around the village. It's better not to move around and cause trouble."
The teacher said that they would not be able to stay in their village for many more days, three at most. He had already told him that after three days, when he had finished his examinations, he planned to go to the provincial capital to continue his imperial examinations. The few dollars he earned here would probably be enough for the travel expenses for his future examinations.
He couldn't possibly block someone else's path, let alone his own teacher's path. As for himself, he knew that he had no desire to be an official. He was already so old, and by the time he passed the imperial examination, his grandson would already be a scholar. He didn't have such big ambitions, and the life he wanted most was the life he had now.
"But if that's the case, you'll have to run back and forth every day. The teacher is a live-in teacher you hired. It's so convenient to live together. You can ask anytime."
Everyone at the table thought Zhao Dashu was a fool. They spent money to hire this person, so what he said was the final word. How could the Master have the power to choose his own person?
"It's okay. My mother is in the village. I go there every day and I can see her occasionally to feel at ease. There is a mule cart at home so it's not hard to come here every day. Xiao Lei also travels with me and studies with me, so I won't feel bored in the car."
Dazhuzi's face became even more unfriendly when he looked at Xiao Lei. It was this man who snatched away the wealth and glory that should have belonged to him. It should have been him who studied with his third uncle.
The people at the table also lamented Xiao Lei's good luck. Who could have thought that he would have such a thing? He should have been a hunter all his life, but in the blink of an eye, his life ended up like this with his head hanging on the belt.
"You guys study together? As far as I know, you guys started at different times. Can Xiao Lei keep up if you study together?"
Wang Xiaolei, who had always been involved in the fight, was very dissatisfied. Now he was forced to join the fight. Zhao Dashu laughed out loud, and the satisfaction in his eyes was obvious. He had to give enough face to his own people and praise them whenever possible. His daughter and wife all said so. As for their secret competition, they just kept it in their hearts.
"You may not know that Xiao Lei is a very hard-working child. Although he started learning late, he has no problem studying with me now.
You don't know how much the teacher likes Xiao Lei. He said that he had a natural talent for studying, but it was a pity that he started learning too late. If he had started learning from a young age, he might have been able to pass the examination and become a scholar by now.
Alas, Xiao Yu was blind and treated these two useless things as treasures. I had better vision and brought this unpolished gem home early."
Zhao Da, the youngest person in the county, was not happy to hear this. "Really? Not everyone can take the exam to become a scholar. There are many people who can study well, and there are many children who can't pass the exam. I have recorded these numbers, but no one can break them."
"Well, what you said is quite right, brother. It's just that you haven't made any achievements since you became a scholar. I don't know whether it's because of your lack of qualifications to give a eulogy or for some other reason."
Zhao Da's face turned the color of liver, and his expression was extremely ugly. He was holding the wine glass with his fingers trembling. He didn't expect that his third brother would expose his shortcomings in public for a son-in-law. The reputation of a juren was indeed a thorn in his heart.
They thought that a juren was someone who could be found just by eating and drinking. Let alone a juren, how many scholars could be found in the entire county?
