I took the imperial examination in the red building

The new teacher's surname is Wang. It is said that he is a candidate who has failed to pass the exam. He has already given up the imperial examination. He is looking for a teaching job recently. By coincidence, when Lin Fengqi was asking around, he asked about an uncle of his clan, so he came over. give it a try.

Lin Fengqi received him in the study.

Wang Ju was in his early thirties and looked like he was from a poor family. His clothes were washed white, but because it was an interview, he looked clean.

The knowledge to be able to pass the Juren examination is not bad, enough to enlighten Lin Huan, so Lin Fengqi didn't ask anything else, but asked about the situation at home.

Wang Juren said a little bit.

There is an old widowed mother in his family. When she was young, she washed and sewed for others to earn money for Wang Juren to study. There is also a married wife who has been married to him for almost ten years and has a son and a daughter.

Wang Juren burst into tears when he mentioned his children.

"My poor daughter, she was photographed by Hanako just after she went out to wash her clothes, and she hasn't disappeared yet." He wiped away his tears, "My wife has been ill since then, and now she is suffering more and more. , relying on a pair of medicines to hang his life every day.”

He said that he had repeatedly failed the imperial examinations, and it would be a waste of money to continue the exams. It would be better to come back early and find some work to relieve the pressure on his mother and get some money for his wife's medical treatment.

What he said was full of emotion, which was the same as the family background investigated by Lin Fengqi. In addition, his knowledge was still passable, so Lin Fengqi agreed to hire him to be Lin Huan's enlightenment.

Because there was still something to do in the yamen, he asked someone to take Wang Juren to the backyard to meet Qin Wan and Lin Huan, and after the ceremony of apprenticeship, Lin Huan could study with him.

Lin Huan was ready a long time ago, and sat obediently, looking out with only a pair of eyes, wondering what his teacher was like.

Qin Wan teased him: "You like reading so much?"

Lin Huan scratched his head: "Didn't my mother say before that reading can make sense, and I want to be a polite person."

And he can't keep reading. Now there are more and more little monsters talking in the square. Sometimes he can't understand if he doesn't listen carefully. But if he listens carefully, he doesn't have the energy to pay attention to what the outsiders are saying. Well, because of this, she lost her mind many times, and even Qin Wan felt that something was wrong.

Therefore, when Wang Juren led him in, Lin Huan greeted him happily, "Hello, sir."

He bowed his hands, but he looked decent.

Wang Juren sized him up, nodded at him, and turned to talk to Qin Wan: "Hi, madam."

Lin Huan wrinkled his nose, why did Mr. ignore him.

But he didn't take it seriously, he was dazzled by the fact that he was about to have a husband and about to learn to read.

They agreed that Lin Huan would start going to school tomorrow, with two days of rest every five days, starting with the "San Zi Jing".

Apprenticeship naturally has a teacher's ceremony.

Qin Wan made a special effort to find out, and compared the etiquette of other families' apprentices, she prepared six rituals, including: a bundle of celery, lotus seeds, red beans, red dates, a bowl of longan, and ten strips of lean meat.

All of them are of the best quality.

[Sweetheart: Why are you giving these things?What is the meaning? 】

[Cultural research experts: science popularization is here, celery = hard work and studious, lotus seeds are bitter = Mr. Hope’s painstaking education, red beans and red dates = good luck, early rise to high school, longan is the completion of merit and virtue, and meat sticks are pure courtesy, which means that disciples treat teachers care. 】

[Sweetheart: Good guy, the ancients had a lot of courtesy, but this teacher seems to have ignored Huanbao...?Is it my illusion? 】

It seems that it is not an illusion.

Because Wang Juren went home with the basket.

His family lives in Wangjia Village on the outskirts of Gusu, which is a bit backward.

There is plenty of rain this year. In order to prevent the rice roots from being soaked in too much water, the fields are full of farmers who are digging ditches. Seeing Wang Juren come back with a basket, they are always asking.

Wang Juren stood still, and deliberately raised the basket for everyone to see: "This is the Shuxiu given to me by the county magistrate, and asked me to teach their sons to read."

Wangjia Village is full of peasants, so it would be great to be able to produce a scholar, let alone be a teacher for the son of the county magistrate?

A group of people put down their work and stared at Wang Juren and the basket in his hand.

"Master Juren, this is promising!" Someone envied, "This is the guest of a high official in the future! Don't forget about us in the future!"

Wang Juren smiled reservedly: "Don't dare to act, dare not act, my family is gone!"

He walked along the dirt road to a thatched hut. Against the background of the surrounding mud and stone houses, the thatched hut was too dilapidated. The thatch on the roof was black, and it looked like rain bubbles. After a long time, a hole was also broken in the gatehouse, which was randomly stuffed with straw.

However, his house was fairly clean.

Wang Juren carried the basket and put it in the kitchen, looked left and right, but did not see his son, and was about to go out to look for it, when his wife opened the door and came in, followed by his son.

"Where are you going?" Wang Ju was dissatisfied, "Don't keep going out with pans, there are a lot of flamboyants now."

Mrs. Liu hummed, saw the basket placed in the kitchen, and asked, "Successful?"

Wang Juren nodded.

Mrs. Liu said, "Is this the ceremony of apprenticeship? Are you going to the county government office tomorrow? What should we return?"

What she was talking about was the gift that the master would give back to the apprentice after the apprenticeship ceremony. Most people would return some celery and green onions, and give the disciple a copy of "The Analects of Confucius".

Wang Juren frowned: "Our family is poor, it doesn't matter if we don't come back, the county magistrate won't care, and the family doesn't lack such little things, why waste money!"

Mrs. Liu frowned, thinking that this was not good, but Wang Juren always made a decision and would not change it, so he walked away after speaking: "I'm going to review, you remember to cook!"

After thinking about it, Mrs. Liu felt that it would be bad not to return the gift, and there was nothing she could do, so she could only hold back her anger and cook.

Lin Huan didn't know what happened, he was excitedly preparing the things he would use for school.

The white and smooth Chengxintang paper, the solid and delicate soot ink, the top-quality Langhao brush, the exquisite and smooth Duan inkstone, and the "Three Character Classics", "The Analects of Confucius", and "Disciples Regulations" are all packed, stuffed in his begging nanny to give In the little bag he made.

Qin Wan even made him laugh: "You can't read, let alone write, what are you doing with these pens, inks, papers and inkstones? Do you think you are too light?"

Lin Huan is serious: "This is the attitude of learning!"

He heard what the little monsters said. In their civilization, very long ago, children had to carry schoolbags when they went to school. Homework and textbooks must be packed in the schoolbags. If they go to school without books, they will be punished. The teacher punishes standing and criticizing.

Lin Huan felt that he was a good baby and would not let the teacher hate him!

He was full of longing, and fell asleep at night, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. The nurse who was watching the night outside heard the movement and came in, and saw him staring at the top of the bed.

The nanny tucked the quilt for him, and checked the temperature of his forehead. Seeing nothing unusual, she asked, "What's the matter, brother? Can't sleep?"

Lin Huan squeezed the quilt, and asked anxiously for a while, "Nurse...doesn't Mr. dislike me?"

After all, he is only a three-year-old child, and he always hopes that adults will see him in their eyes, often praise him, and like him.

Today, when Wang Juren came in to talk, he didn't pay much attention to Lin Huan, and others didn't notice. Lin Huan was young, and he felt aggrieved at the time. Afterwards, he was forgetful and left it behind, and he suddenly became worried before going to bed. .

Poor and cute.

The nanny sat down along the edge of the bed and gently patted him to sleep: "Brother, why do you think so much? You are small, cute, good-natured, and polite. Who wouldn't like you? Those in the family The servants all like you in their hearts."

Lin Huan opened his eyes wide: "Really?"

"It's true, the nanny won't lie to you."

Lin Huan became happy in an instant, and when he was happy, he became sleepy, and within a quarter of an hour he couldn't open his eyes, and said in a daze, "Yeah, Huanbao is the cutest, my husband will definitely like it." your!"

After a while, I fell asleep like a piggy with my stomach full.

Early the next morning, Lin Huan got up from the bed, dressed, washed and ate by himself. After packing, he took his small bag and sat in the "school" prepared in advance.

It is said to be a school, but two tables are placed in a flower hall between the front yard and the back yard. The tables are as long as two arms, and the seats are lined with a layer of soft cushions.

Although Lin Huan's height had been taken into consideration, the table was still a bit high. Once Lin Huan sat down, the table was almost up to his neck.

Fortunately, he doesn't need to learn to write yet, and it doesn't hurt to read with a book in his hand.

At three o'clock in the morning, Wang Juren came in with a bookcase.

He first looked at the books on Lin Huan's desk, and seeing that the top one was the "Three Character Classic", he said, "Since what you have is the "Three Character Classic", let's learn this first!"

Lin Huan obediently opened the book.

Wang Juren found the "Three Character Classic" from the bookcase, and read it to Lin Huan from beginning to end.

Lin Huan: "..."

At the beginning, I can still look at the words above, but the more confusing it gets at the end...

His eyes were dazed: Is it so difficult to study?

He looked at Cube, and saw that they were also in a daze.

[The pigs have run away: huh?Just say it once? 】

[Sweetheart: Who am I and where am I? Is this something that kindergarten should learn?ah? 】

Lin Huan also wanted to ask, is this really what the three-year-old him learned?

Wang Juren read the entire Three Character Classic in one breath, and asked very seriously, "Did you hear clearly?"

Lin Huan: "No...not very clear."

Wang Juren frowned, slowed down, and read it to Lin Huan again: "What about now?"

Lin Huan said with a bitter face, "Sir, I haven't learned how to read yet!"

You read it in one breath, I can't keep up at all!I don't know the words behind it!

Wang Juren's brows were already wrinkled, and he finally said, "I'll read one sentence, and you read another sentence."

Lin Huan finally breathed a sigh of relief, should he understand this time?

"At the beginning of human beings, nature is good. Sex is similar, □□..."
