Small town adventure

Chapter 90 Scholar Liu Guangzu
Daoist Qingyang laughed and said, "Okay, I'll tell you something, you can listen carefully."

Since Taoist Master Qingyang's narration is relatively long and cumbersome to say, let me change the name now, and let me slowly explain to the audience.

During the Tongzhi period of the Qing Dynasty, although there were internal and external troubles and frequent wars, the political situation at that time was still stable, and the imperial examinations were still popular. Many students studied hard for decades in order to be able to win the gold list and glorify the village one day.However, the bureaucracy at that time was extremely corrupt, and they openly bought and sold officials, which caused many students with real talents to fail to serve the country.Even if a student gets the second place in the exam or the best candidate, he can't help the secret operations of many corrupt officials, and it's not known which rich man will find a fake one.

There is a scholar named Liu Guangzu in Jinan Prefecture, Shandong Province. Originally, when his parents were alive, the family life was fairly well-off. After his parents passed away due to illness, his family fortune gradually declined. At the age of 17, he was awarded the status of a scholar, but it is a pity that he has no hands, shoulders, and hands, so he can only read and write.Within a few years, everything that could be sold in the family was sold, and in a blink of an eye, the house was completely empty, and it was almost impossible to even eat.

Even though he took the exam several times, he still didn't get on the list, and he didn't even win a single exam, let alone the second place in the list, and gradually became disheartened.But this life still has to go on. In desperation, with the help of a few relatives and friends, I rented a house, opened a private school, taught a few students, and collected some tuition fees to make ends meet.

Although Liu Guangzu is poor, he is only a scholar, but he has a very good heart, and his talent is also the highest among the local scholars, so many people come to him to teach their children because of his reputation.The family conditions of the group of students he taught are also uneven. Some are wealthy landlords, some are children of peasants who farm at home, and some are poor children who really can’t afford the tuition and want to study. Liu Guangzu even pays for the tuition. I didn't charge it either.Some poor families are really sorry, and they send him some eggs laid by their old hens during the festivals. He would rather not accept them when he is hungry.
