The old woman left in a hurry and went to find Zhao Dashu. Will the third brother open a bar? With his personality, he will definitely host a party.
It's a big wedding, so lively and fun, how much they must envy her!
Finally, find a theatre troupe. She likes watching theatre, but usually she can only go to the county town to watch one.
"Don't count on your mother too much. I don't think she can do anything. She will just yell at us. She is so happy to see the third child being well behaved."
She has seen her mother-in-law's fawning face many times in recent years, and she feels sick every time she sees it.
"We have to try even if it doesn't work. Third brother doesn't care about us at all."
"Yes, we can only rely on her." Wang sighed. Their family is in such a difficult situation.
"Master, are you okay?" Zhao Dayong was lying on the kang with a cloth wrapped on his head, looking pale.
"No, maybe I caught a cold last night." Only he himself knew why he fell ill, because except for his family, all the men in the other two families had become tongsheng.
He is not good at it, and neither are his sons. He has three brothers and yet the most sons are the least promising.
"Think positively, we still have three pillars."
"I know."
Husband and wife know each other best, and his wife knows exactly why he lies down.
"We should be more strict with Sanzhuzi."
"Master, I just heard what my eldest brother and the others said." Li pursed her lips. If it was true, she would want to send Sanzhuzi over even if it cost a little money.
She told Zhao Dayong what Zhao Dayong and Old Sun had talked about. It was not that she wanted to eavesdrop, but they were talking quite loudly and did not close the door, so she could hear it clearly from the yard.
"Do you think it's true?"
"It's almost certain. Why are children from wealthy families more likely to become talented? Besides the fact that their families have the money to support their education and they start their education early, the other reason is that they have teachers who can teach them.
I was selling vegetables in the county town, and I often heard people say that children from some very wealthy families never went to school and instead hired a teacher at home.
Those teachers were all invited from the capital or prefecture-level cities, and some were even invited to teach through the imperial examination. Only those who had no talent for learning or were not very good at studying would go to the academy to teach.
There are also masters teaching in academies, but they will not be in our county town, but in the provincial capital, where there are some very powerful academies.
He also said that people only choose to study in those academies after passing the examination for the title of scholar, and that there are not only teachers but also classmates of high status in the academies.”
"From what you said, you mean that they studied at home before they passed the imperial examination?" Li didn't know this existed. She thought sending them to school was the solution.
"Yes, that's what I mean."
"The teacher in my third brother's house might also be quite knowledgeable, otherwise they wouldn't both be so successful. Master, do you think he would agree to teach Sanzhuzi if we ask him?"
"If the third brother nods, it will definitely be okay. I'm afraid he won't agree. Didn't you hear what the eldest brother said? He went to ask but didn't nod. He doesn't want us to surpass him, so naturally he won't give us a master."
"Yes," Li said dejectedly, "I thought that my eldest brother was already a very accomplished teacher, and that he was much more knowledgeable than the teacher Sanzhuzi, but I didn't expect... that my third brother was so good at keeping secrets from me."
"Who says it's not? Let's see first. If Big Brother is willing, we'll go. He won't be partial. If Big Brother is not willing, we don't have to ask for it."
"I'll listen to you."
Old Mrs. Sun rushed to Zhao Dashu's house in a hurry.
"Old Three, Old Three!"
