Cui Xian went to the yard to wash up.
Cui Xuan and Cui Yu, brother and sister, also got up soon after.
The moment they had breakfast, the three of them had the same satisfied expression on their faces——
So delicious!
After dinner.
Under the leadership of Cui Boshan and Cui Zhongyuan, Cui Yu and Cui Xian went out to school together, carrying their school boxes.
Old Cui was still worried, so she instructed, "Remember to bring the tuition to the teacher, and be careful on the road."
"I know, Grandma."
"Okay, mom."
The father and his two sons walked out of the house.
The two fathers each held a large basket of food - filled with celery, lotus seeds, red beans, red dates, longan, and dried meat.
Although the Pei family specially invited Cui Xian to study, they even subsidized him five taels of silver per month for living expenses.
But the tuition fee still needs to be paid!
Etiquette cannot be abolished, this is a sign of respect for the Master.
The sun was just rising in the early morning and the air was still a little cool.
The Cui family members left Zhongjing Lane and walked eastward for less than an incense stick of time before arriving at the entrance of Funiu Lane.
“Here it comes!”
"Brother Xian, you are finally here."
"Hurry up, hurry up, that stinky old man Wu Qinglan has actually moved up the school time by half an hour recently."
"Being late will result in a beating. This is insane!"
The four elder brothers, Pei Jian, Gao Qi, Zhuang Jin and Li Heyu, all complained with sad faces.
On weekdays, they don't care about this.
I'm too lazy to go to school anyway.
But now, don’t I have to study hard with my younger brother Xian?
Hearing this, Cui Xian and his companions quickly quickened their pace and headed towards the Pei clan school.
In ethnic studies.
All the students had sad faces and looked listless.
Master Wu held a ruler in his hand and scolded them: "Look at how you are now. You have no spirit at all. How are you going to take the imperial examination in the future?"
"Also, I have clearly taught you how to write poetry in the past!"
"But all of you watched 'Ode to the Goose' lose to a crooked poem and did nothing about it, and you still had the guts to complain about Choi Heon showing off."
"It really pissed me off!"
Hearing what the teacher said, the students immediately looked embarrassed.
You can’t blame them. Zhao Yaozu’s poem “Ode to Hsinchu” does look quite impressive at first glance!
At this time.
Suddenly someone shouted, "Cui Xian is here!"
All the students in the clan turned around and looked towards the door with eager eyes.
Finally back.
During this period, the entire clan school, no, the entire Nanyang was talking about him intensely!
Mr. Wu, who had a sullen face just now, suddenly changed from gloomy to cheerful, and his face was full of wrinkles with smile.
The group of students from the ethnic school were dumbfounded.
Oh my God, this old fashioned guy can actually laugh!
"Cui Xian, good boy, I finally got you here."
Master Wu was so excited that he came over to greet him.
Seeing the tribute brought by the Cui family, the corners of his mouth couldn't close their smiles: "You are so polite, you even brought a gift for the teacher."
If you accept tuition from students, you become their teacher.
Master Wu naturally didn't care about these tuition fees.
What he cared about was being the enlightenment teacher for a child prodigy.
If you don't believe it, go out and ask around. For a child prodigy like Cui Xian, all the great scholars in the world would definitely be vying to accept him as their disciple.
It's just that the child is still young now, so Wu Qinglan can benefit from it for the time being!
Seeing Master Wu looking so 'worthless', Pei Jian and the other three laughed out loud in surprise.
Cui Zhongyuan and Cui Boshan also wanted to laugh, but because they came as parents, they had a hard time holding back.
Wait until Wu Qinglan receives the tuition.
The brothers Cui Yu and Cui Xian kowtowed to the Master, and the ceremony was completed.
Wu Qinglan inquired about Cui Yu's learning progress and then arranged him to go to the "small class".
Cui Xian, on the other hand, went to the 'middle class'.
Directly in the same class with the older brothers.
Now, Pei Jian and others couldn't laugh anymore——
They thought of the exciting scene where their younger brother could recite everything correctly after reading it once, and their scalps began to tingle.
But the others have not yet realized what a terrifying monster is about to come to the clan school.
Everyone gathered around Cui Xian and walked into the classroom in a mighty procession.
Everyone had excitement on their face, and they looked at Cui Xian with admiration, curiosity, and worship.
At the age of eight, he was already writing storybooks and composing poems, and was famous in Nanyang County!
This... can be called the ancient version of 'child star'.
Before Master Wu comes to class.
The students started talking to Cui Xian enthusiastically. One of them said, "Brother Cui Xian, I brought some meat jerky. It smells delicious. Would you like to try some?"
The other said, "Brother Cui Xian, that poem "Ode to the Goose" is really catchy. I really admire you!"
Another said, "Brother Cui Xian, I also wrote a poem. Let's find some time to discuss it."
Of course, as soon as these words were spoken, they were immediately booed by the others.
Cui Xian was surrounded in the middle, and the table was filled with various snacks and gifts. For a moment, he didn't know who to thank.
The new classmates are so enthusiastic!
This is not Cui Xian’s first time to come to the clan school, but this time the feeling is completely different.
Because he is no longer a little book boy, but a student in the classroom.
And it is the most dazzling one!
This was the scene Wu Qinglan saw when he walked into the classroom.
Far from being angry, he smiled and joked, "It seems that our new classmate is very popular."
The other students all laughed out loud.
Pei Jian put his arm around his younger brother's shoulders and smiled very proudly: "Of course!"
But soon, they couldn't laugh anymore.
Because I heard Master Wu say, "I won't give a lecture today. I'll announce the next class schedule while new students are here."
