The news of the Shangsi Festival banquet has already been released, and the next step is to go door to door.

"You have to be prepared." Cao Bao said to the twins, "Give me the face of an officer at the banquet, but it doesn't mean that I will accept you. Basic education is not like private education, and you can't let it go. The family wants reputation, and they don't want to accept eunuchs and then start of the wall."

Cao Cao's complexion was not good. It was the first time he faced naked discrimination: "They don't look down on us, should we plead in a low voice?"

"It's not in a low voice." A Sheng said, "They pick disciples, so we don't pick masters? Two-way choice, it's the fate of both parties, and if it doesn't work, you don't have to force it." She added secretly in her heart, Those guys who are really inferior to others, she will definitely make a note in the small notebook.

We moderns like to hold grudges.

The aristocratic families are distributed in various counties below Yingchuan County.Cao Bao pulled an open ox cart and took the twins on the road.They started from a distance first.

The Wuyang Han family refused very euphemistically: "The two young gentlemen are both talented and beautiful, but the patriarch goes out to be an official, so we dare not make any claims." According to Cao Bao, Han Shao is a good official. The disaster relief victims did not hesitate to open warehouses to provide relief at the risk of beheading.It's a pity that the Han family doesn't have anyone with the same courage who stays in their hometown.

When they arrived in Yanling, the Yu family’s tone was not so good, probably because they hated that their family’s seat in the Shangsi Festival Wenhui was lower than that of the four major families: “Those who start from the palace need to rely on talent, but we rely on character. Heirloom." Ah Sheng was so angry that he almost didn't write "Don't bully the young and poor" on the gate of their house.

"Let's go." Cao Bao said, "I'll try it too. You probably don't like their family."

The Yu family is also a wonderful thing. For two consecutive generations, they have only achieved fame but not official positions.While shouting "I want to live in seclusion", while shouting "I am a talent".At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, people who pretended to be like this were called hermits, and they were very popular.But if you don't serve as an official for two generations, wouldn't your family be ruined?It's very confusing.

After visiting the two farthest families, we walked back in the direction of Junzhi and arrived at the location of the Changsha Zhong family. Zhong Hao, one of the "Four Heads of Yingchuan", has passed away, and now his sons Zhong Di and Zhong Fu are in charge of the family.These two... hated eunuchs deeply.

"Although Fei Tinghou was called a 'good eunuch' by Duke Huang, he is not of the same path as us. Don't make it difficult for us, Mr. Cao." We are still fighting on the front line of fighting eunuchs. It is good to take in the children of the eunuch's family.

After leaving Changshe, you can see the river.The spring sun shines warmly on the fields that have just grown tender seedlings. The warm wind and the sound of waterfowl cross the ruts of the bullock carts, playing a song called "The Truth in the World".

Cao Cao sat behind the ox cart, which was so simple that there was only one plank, watching the ruts and crying. "Papa Pata" fell all the way.

Ah Sheng lay lazily on the car deck, staring at the clouds in the blue sky, wondering what he was thinking.

"Don't be discouraged, don't be discouraged." Cao Bao comforted the two children, "We are people who grew up in the mud. Oh, why don't I teach you how to drive a car? Do you want to learn?"

Cao Cao wiped away his tears: "Come on." He pushed his sister again: "Ah Sheng, get up. Learn to drive."

Ah Sheng and his elder brother took turns sitting on the shaft to practice.They always made mistakes at the beginning, and the ox carts strayed and trampled on the fertile fields, wasting a lot of Cao Bao's copper coins as compensation.

"Actually. Before I set off, Chen Shi told me that if you really can't find a place to go, he can teach you."

Cao Cao's eyes lit up: "There are still enlightened people in the Yingchuan family."

"Chen Shi is a good old man. He never speaks ill of others, and never takes advantage of others. But he is old and has many disciples, so he doesn't have so much energy."

Ah Sheng tilted his head: "Then shall we continue?"

Cao Bao pointed at the mighty Yingshui in front of him with a bamboo whip: "The last family is the Yingyin Xun family."

The north of the mountain and the south of the water are called Yin.

Yingyin is adjacent to the water, with beautiful scenery and unique terrain.By comparing the relationship between Cao's old house and Guohe, one can know what kind of geomantic land the Xun family occupies.According to the family tradition, the mansion of the main branch of the Xun family is surrounded by villages with the surname Xun.Those villagers surnamed Xun, although they have been related for five years, are still members of the Xun family and descendants of Xunzi, a thinker in the Warring States period.

There is an ethnology in the village for the children of the Xun surname to study.In addition, there is an advanced class called private school, which accepts students from poor families from all over the world.This kind of teaching intensity was very far-sighted in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

"If the two gentlemen don't dislike you, you can learn from the ethnology in the village." The person who went out to receive the reception was Xun Jing, the eldest son of the "Eight Dragons of the Xun Family". History. However, Mr. Xiao Lang has the shadow of his parents, so it is unknown when he will go to Luoyang Taixue." He speaks slowly, and his eyes are gentle, which makes people feel respected unconsciously.

"If my wife is just like my husband, I'd like to stay even if I'm in charge of cleaning." Ah Sheng complimented him without hesitation.This is the most sincere family ever.Although he goes to school with the children of the villagers in Bangzhi, as a time traveler, Ah Sheng has no sense of family status at all.

Xun Jing stroked his beard and smiled: "Although the board and lodging are simple, the lecturers are all Confucian scholars, so you can rest assured, Mr. Xiaolang."

Cao Cao still asked: "A gentleman has six arts, ritual, music, archery, and the number of imperial books, can you teach them all?"

"Nowadays, no more than the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period, there are not many horse-drawn chariots. The other five arts and ethnology are involved, but books are still the main one. Do you still have any doubts, Mr. Xiaolang?"

Cao Cao shook his head, clasped his hands and said, "My brother and I will stay here first." Stay and have a look, it's not a formal visit to the entrance wall, it's okay to leave if you feel inappropriate.

So I agreed on the date of enrollment and prepared to move.Moved from Yangdi, where the county government is located, to Yingyin.In addition to pots and pans bedding, but also with followers.The twins brought dozens of servant orphans from Qiao County.

Cao Chi and Cao Yin heard that it was the family study of the Xun family, but the boss was not happy. "Don't listen to what they say. Who doesn't know that the direct descendants of the Xun family were taught by Xun Shuang himself in the mansion. There is a huge difference between family studies and family studies!"

Ah Sheng raised his head and held Cao Chi, who was about to spit fire, and Fifth Uncle Cao: "Uncle Fifth, since the Xun family's family education is the place where the descendants of the family's direct descendants were enlightened, it seems that there is a secret that the family has passed down the old school. We outsiders have to go in , Isn't it difficult for the strong?"

She went to pull Cao Cao, who seemed a little disappointed: "Brother, compare your heart with your heart. We also have secrets that we don't want to teach outsiders."

Cao Cao thought of the strange science of flying to the sky and escaping from the earth taught in the other courtyards in Qiao County, and his mentality was immediately balanced. "I see. We can't enter the family school of the Xun family, but can only enter the family school. It's not because the eunuchs are looked down upon by others, but because we are outsiders to the Xun family. Children from other aristocratic families are the most It’s just the ethnology of their family.”

Knowledge is monopolized, and this is where it is difficult for a poor family to become an aristocratic family.

After walking around Yingchuan, the twins had no choice but to accept the Xun family's second-class educational resources.

It is said to be a second-class resource, but the Xun family treated them well: a double room with a bathroom and a kitchen, a complete set of pens, inks and stationery, and the books in the private school can also be borrowed freely.What is important is that the ethnology of the Xun family is a typical Eastern Han education, and the teaching content includes etiquette, writing and common sense that Ah Sheng lacked.Except that the teacher in class has a slightly different view, but this is unavoidable.

Of course, the Cao family also paid a considerable amount of tuition, board and lodging.

In later historiography, the "Er Cao's study", which was specially written by the National People's Congress, started quietly in this warm spring.
