Dressed as a vicious stepmother, the whole family is full of wealth

Chapter 152, pass by
"Which book has your son read?" the old man asked.

Xiao Qing thought for a while and said, ""University", there is a book called University, right?"

""University" is just getting started!" The old man said with a smile.

That’s even more unacceptable. The Analects of Confucius and Mencius don’t know if he has finished reading it. If he hasn’t finished reading it, he hasn’t read the Four Books, just like he hasn’t finished reading the Enlightenment Book. At the age of 14, he doesn’t know the Five Classics. Although it is not too late to take the exam for children at the age of seven or eight, it is 30 or [-] years old to take the exam for scholar and scholar.

"It's late, it's late!" The old man laughed.

One must be able to bear one's temper in reading. In this drought year, being able to endure reading for decades is not something ordinary people can do. Most of them give up if they don't get fame. Even if they get a scholar, a person like them has no way to go up, no way out to go down, and has no chance of official career all his life, and lives on the help of the government.

Hearing the old man's words, Xiao Qing's heart skipped a beat, and his face drooped. It can't be too late, Qiao Hong is an ambitious kid.

"Late... late?"

"Yeah, it's late. Could it be that you want your son to take the exam for the rest of his life, and only at my age can he be admitted to Juren?" the old man asked.

Xiao Qing was surprised, he turned out to be a Juren?And it's so late, it's kind of late!
This is a person who has no talent for reading, so after studying for a lifetime, he can only win one person.

"What's your name, Master?"

"My surname is Wei!" Master Wei said.

Xiao Qing said gently: "Master Wei, I don't know how many books my son has read. Otherwise, I will bring him tomorrow, and you will test him. If you think he is good after the exam, then you Just stay, if you think this child is not good, I will take it home, do you think it will work like this?"

Master Wei smiled and waved his hands: "No, no, you can go to another private school and try, the light-ink students are full."

The smile on Xiao Qing's face faded, and his tone was begging: "Master Wei, please think about it again. My son is very good at studying. You can test him and then decide?"

Master Wei got up and said no more: "Let's see off the guests!"

"Who are you sending me off? Elder Wei, I just came in and you are going to send me away?" Mrs. Wei just got up when he saw a distinguished guest coming in at the door.

As soon as Master Wei looked at the person, his face suddenly turned mellow, and he smiled and cupped his fists to meet him: "It's Shopkeeper Yan, I'm sorry to welcome you! I'm sorry to welcome you!"

He turned to scold the servants: "Stupid things, shopkeeper Yan is here, why don't you hurry up and say something!"

The servants on the side stood silently and admitted their mistakes.

Yan Ziqin entered the door and saluted: "Don't blame Master Wei, I didn't let you inform me, be polite!"

Mrs. Wei greeted hurriedly: "Please come inside, please come inside... It's been a long time since I've seen you. Shopkeeper Yan has a cup of hot tea inside. Let's have some refreshments and talk!"

The Autumn Painting and Calligraphy Exhibition on October [-]th is held every three years with the support of the imperial court. The location is different each time, and the location is selected by some officials. It is a grand art exhibition gathered by literati and poets.

Another purpose of the Calligraphy and Painting Exhibition is to discover that talented young people who have not passed the examination and have not entered the imperial examination, if they have the opportunity to study in the Imperial Academy, have the opportunity to face the saints, and select talents for the court.

Yan Ziqin, as the treasurer of the Yaoshan County Bookstore, organized this calligraphy and painting exhibition together with the head and professor of Yaoshan Academy. He came to Qianmo Academy to invite them and students to the exhibition. How could such an important matter be delayed?
"I just came here a few days ago, and I came to look for you, why did you forget?" Yan Ziqin said with a smile.

"I don't have any fat women who can write. There is only a room full of students who want to go to the calligraphy and painting exhibition." Master Wei led Yan Ziqin into the inner room.

Yan Ziqin was invited to the back room by him. He wanted to take a look at his guests, but from entering the door to going to the bookstore, he was blocked by Master Wei all the way, so he couldn't see their faces.

The two went to drink tea in the bookstore.

Xiao Qing and Zhou Chuan looked at each other, this...

Mr. Wei was too negligent to them. Before they left, he was in a hurry to entertain new guests and left them aside.

"Shopkeeper Zhou, it seems that Qianmo is unwilling to accept it, why don't we go to the next private school and ask?" Zhou Chuan said.

There are one or two other students in the city, but most of the students in these two schools are about ten years old, and the oldest one is not 12 years old. Qiao Hong is a bit older.

Xiao Qing lowered his head, even if those two families were willing to accept him, Qiao Hong would not be willing to study with children around ten years old.

"Come on, let's go ask!"

She thought that the private school was just a springboard. If she found a teacher, she could be recommended to Yaoshan Academy, and then Qiao Hong would have a chance to enter the academy.

"Let's go!" Xiao Qing sighed.

……

In the book club, Master Wei asked Yan Ziqin with a smile: "A few days ago you were looking for someone, and you said there was a fat woman with a good handwriting. Did you find it?"

Yan Ziqin sighed and shook his head: "Seeing that October [-]th is approaching, the man seems to have disappeared. The head of the mountain and the professors have searched everywhere in Yaoshan, but they couldn't find it!"

Mrs. Wei stroked his beard and smiled. He had never seen the words they spoke. She did not believe that a fat woman could write any good words, just like the fat woman today. It's not shocking enough, calligraphy and painting are men's display of talents, and women join in the fun.

"It's hard to find a fat woman, why don't you look at the students in the private school, one day, they will be more capable than that fat woman!" Wei Fuzi said.

Yan Ziqin waved his hands, and then took a sip of tea: "Old Wei has never seen that character before, and I am afraid that the words of Elder Zhang of the Celestial Dynasty can't compare to it!"

Mr. Zhang?Zhang Yuan!

That is a national treasure-level calligraphy master of the Daqing Dynasty. His calligraphy and paintings are hard to buy for ten thousand taels of gold!

Is it too exaggerated to say that woman is older than Zhang?
"Shopkeeper Yan, it's an exaggeration. There is no one in the world with better handwriting than Mr. Zhang. It's an exaggeration!" Master Wei teased.

Yan Ziqin knew that he didn't believe it, so he didn't say much: "Old Wei, come today, I still want to ask if there is a fatter woman among the mothers of the students in your private school. Yaoshan County shouldn't be as fat as that woman." That fat woman once bought "University" for her son, and I think her son is not very old."

Master Wei frowned, "University" again?Is this a coincidence?
"Today, a fat woman came to study for her son, just those two sitting in the outer hall when you entered the door!" Mrs. Wei said with a smile: "However, in my opinion, she is just an ordinary fat woman , her child is also studying "University", not the person you are looking for, that woman is fat, but those rough hands don't even know how to hold a pen!"

Yan Ziqin has been looking for it for more than half a month, but whenever he hears the word "fat woman", he must take a look.

Now when I heard Fat Woman and "University", I immediately asked, "Is she still outside?"

Mrs. Wei sneered: "The woman's son is 14 years old and still wants to study in a private school, but I sent him away with a few words. Light ink can't recruit those uneducated scholars. At this time, he should go..."

Yan Ziqin didn't wait for Master Wei to finish speaking, he couldn't wait to get up and run outside.

Fat Lady, "University", what if it is!
