Zheng Changsheng had never expected that Fang Keqin was leaving.

Historical records record that he did not become an official until the fourth year of Hongwu, but with his arrival,

The world seems not to follow the established trajectory and is a little off track.

Not only did he not expect it, but everyone present did not expect it.

The old patriarch just smashed his mouth and couldn't say a word. He didn't know what to say.

He was a great Confucian of the time and was valued by the imperial court. He wanted to serve as an official and serve the country.

How can you stay in a poor ravine all your life? You can't miss someone's future.

There are more than a dozen children in the village school, all of whom are useless and have no hope of becoming an official.

But Zheng Changsheng is different. He is born with the material to study. If Mr. Fang leaves, what will he do?

He is the hope for the future of our Zheng family. What should we do if we have no one to teach us and our studies are in ruins?

How can this be worthy of the ancestors of the Zheng family?

The old patriarch hesitated again and again, but still licked his face and expressed his worries.

"Mr. Fang, I know this is a bit embarrassing for you. I won't talk about other children. How do you plan to have a brother?"

Li Xiuying was panicking, her eyes flickering, wondering what she would do if her husband took her son away.

This child has never left home since he was a child. What should he do if he misses his mother?

Her heart hurt so much that she burst into tears.

Fang Keqin peeked and watched, and Li Xiuying's every move fell into his eyes.

Sure enough, mother and son have a deep love, and this stubborn and strong woman still can't let go of her son.

He was silent for a moment and said to Zheng Changsheng: "As a teacher, this is helpless. I thought that time would still be long and you were still young.

One day you will stop playing around and it won't be too late to give you some guidance.

But I didn't expect that the parting of you and my master and apprentice would come so soon.

It's been a while since the imperial documents arrived, and I still don't know how to speak.

You and me, the master and the disciple, are quite compatible, and we are willing to take you with us and teach you carefully;

But thinking that you can't live without your mother when you are young, my teacher decided to keep you.

However, as a teacher, you must first ensure that you don’t waste your studies by playing around and study diligently.

Especially the ten eight-part essays per month must not be neglected. This can be completed under the supervision of your mother.

In addition, I hope to hear the good news that you have passed the Boy Examination and become a scholar in three years. I will be delighted then."

Zheng Changsheng felt a little regretful. If he had known earlier, he would not have messed with the master.

At first he gave me instructions on eight-part essays, but he was always absent-minded. He always felt that the time was still long and that he was still young.

But this sudden separation really caught him off guard.

The use of stereotyped writing to recruit scholars is an irreversible historical trend.

If you want to stand out in this era, if you want to rise to the top, you must painstakingly study the eight-part essay.

Otherwise, no matter how good you are, you will still belong to the ranks of scholar-bureaucrats.

The country is governed by men of letters. You don't even have any fame. Who cares about you?

Although he has already memorized the eight-legged pattern and techniques in his mind.

But just knowing the format and techniques is not enough. You need to practice more so that your words are meaningful and colorful.

It is almost impossible to have a world-shaking Eight-part essay without the guidance of a good teacher.

Stop dreaming about working behind closed doors.

If this is the case, what else should the teacher do?

It is not unreasonable for the ancients to attach great importance to the teachings of teachers.

A good teacher can help you get twice the result with half the effort and avoid many detours.

But I was careless, too playful, and didn't cherish this fate with Fang Keqin.

In the future, it won't be that easy if someone can guide him like Fang Keqin.

Besides, great Confucian scholars like Fang Keqin usually joined the court as officials, so who would stay at home and teach?

Zheng Changsheng couldn't help but feel sad for a while, and forced himself to hold back his tears: "Nod vigorously."

Well, it’s only been three years, I don’t believe it anymore, I still can’t become a scholar.

After a thousand words could not express the heaviness of the word farewell, Fang Keqin finally had to leave, and all his things were loaded onto the carriage.

Only one box of books was left, which was left for Zheng Changsheng.

These books are his reading notes and his experiences over the years. They were all given to Zheng Changsheng before leaving.

He left in a hurry, and those who rushed to Zhengjia Village had no time to say goodbye.

When people came to the thatched cottage with gifts, there was only a wooden box and a letter, and Mr. Fang had disappeared without a trace.

The people of Zhengjia Village who came to say goodbye felt bitter and unspeakable.

My baby can no longer go to school. Why does it feel like the sky is getting darker?

At the same time, they also deeply admired Mr. Fang's high moral character and integrity.

You have been teaching your children for free for so long and yet you are not willing to accept feedback from the villagers before leaving. What a great scholar!

Zheng Changsheng looked at the familiar fonts on the letter and was greatly shocked.

These books are all Fang Keqin's treasures, and his son Fang Xiaoru doesn't even dare to read them casually.

But what I didn't expect was that I would keep it all to myself.

He really wants to applaud the ancient inheritance of master-disciple father-son.

Scholars, especially famous scholars like Fang Keqin.

If you didn't care about yourself very much, you would never be able to do this.

The painstaking work that was not passed on to his sons was given to him. Doesn't this show that Fang Keqin valued and expected him?

I'm so touched. Apart from his mother, this is the first person Zheng Changsheng has expressed gratitude to from the bottom of his heart.

The letter also said that in order to avoid feeling sad about parting, it is best to leave without saying goodbye.

She also told herself not to shed tears or cry like a daughter.

A man should be ambitious, strive for a spot on the gold medal list in the future, and reimburse the country to become a man.

Finally, he said that he hopes to hear his good news in three years.

Uh, okay, Zheng Changsheng secretly vowed to fulfill Fang Keqin's wish.

Fang Keqin is not the only one who has this wish, his mother and the old patriarch are also eagerly looking forward to this day.

During the imperial examination, I came. Zheng Changsheng clenched his little hands into fists and swore secretly.

The big box of books left by Fang Keqin was carried home by the big man.

Zheng Changsheng opened the box immediately. Fang Xiaoru wanted to see the collection of Five Classics inside, but he had no chance to see it.

Now it's all his own, no matter what, he can't live up to Fang Keqin's hard work, can he?

As a result, the laughter and laughter of children playing in the Zheng family courtyard disappeared on weekdays.

Instead, there was the sound of the son of the Zheng family, Lang Lang, reading.

This made Li Xiuying very happy,

With tears in her eyes, she murmured in her heart: "The child knows that he has made progress. Dad, have you seen it in Tianzhiling?"

Ever since Zheng Changsheng stopped playing and studied diligently, the people working in the Zheng family compound have become much more restrained.
