Chapter thirty-fifth, the teacher
When Yang Zhao came to the address on the recruitment list, he knew that the young man from Yahang was indeed right. Faced with such a high-paying profession, there were really many people applying.
She saw more than a dozen people standing sparsely at the door, each holding a recruitment form in their hands. She took a closer look and found that she was the only one who was female.
But there were two sturdy servants standing outside the tall door lintel. Whenever people asked when they could get in, they would only ask the applicants to wait a little longer.
Everyone waited outside the door for a while, and a middle-aged man who looked like a butler came out of the side door.
He smiled and saluted everyone.
"I am the steward of the master's family. My surname is Liu. I have met you all here."
"You all have come to apply to be my master's arithmetic teacher, but we want to find an arithmetic teacher who can be taught by the church."
As he spoke, he took out a test paper from his sleeve.
"Everyone, please look at this, this is a common examination paper in the government school. Whoever can explain the last big question above to my young master and he can understand it, then whoever can be the arithmetic teacher."
"If not, then I'm sorry, this job is not suitable for you."
As he spoke, he signaled to the servant next to him, and the servant took out a dozen test questions from behind the door and gave one to each of the applicants outside.
Yang Zhao took a rough look at the test questions and found that the above test questions were not very difficult, but the knowledge points involved were relatively complex. The last big question was a mixed calculation question, which was not beyond her ability.
"I'm talking to Mr. Liu, the test paper you took was learned by senior students in the government school. Even if I explain this question, your young master won't be able to understand it."
"That's right, let alone two months, even if you study for three to five years, there will still be people who don't know the last big question. Aren't you making things difficult for us?"
"you do not say!"
There was a lot of discussion among the applicants present, and Yang Zhao also understood that it was indeed a bit difficult for the junior high school students to write the college entrance examination papers all at once.
However, she carefully read the test paper again, and she felt confident that when it came to exam-oriented education, she was not afraid of others as she graduated from exam-oriented education to a normal school!
"Steward Liu, I am qualified for this job!"
Butler Liu's eyes lit up, but the moment he saw Yang Zhao in the crowd, he hesitated.
"This female gentleman, it's not that I, Mr. Liu, have gone back on his word, it's actually that my young master has grown up. This man and woman are not close to each other, so you are not suitable."
Yang Zhao was stunned for a moment. She had thought about various reasons for being kicked out, but she had never thought about being kicked out because of her gender.
"But Manager Liu..."
"This female gentleman, no matter how good your teaching is, if it is not suitable, it is not suitable. Please go back!"
Yang Zhao felt like he was holding a breath in his chest and couldn't let it out.
But the tutoring industry is like this. Parents always hope to find a graduate student from Tsinghua University and Peking University to teach their children who are in the first and second grades of junior high school. Moreover, the older the child, the more gender restrictions there will be.
"Hey, Mr. Liu, the eldest young master doesn't want a female gentleman, but our young lady does. Do you only remember the eldest young master's affairs and forget about our young lady's affairs?"
What came out was an old nun. She was dressed cleanly and decently, and there was a little girl following behind her.
Manager Liu had a look of disdain on his face and replied: "What did Grandma Wang say? The eldest lady is already being taught arithmetic by Mr. Wu. Wouldn't it be offending to find another gentleman?"
Aunt Wang: "Mr. Liu, I didn't come out to argue with you. I just want to take this female gentleman in to compete with that Mr. Wu. Whoever is better will teach the eldest lady!"
Manager Liu: "Just anyone here wants to compete with Mr. Wu?"
"If you let me look for it myself, I can find more gentlemen to compete with Mr. Wu!"
The two looked at each other for a while, and Manager Liu smiled disdainfully: "Okay, since Grandma Wang has fallen in love with this female gentleman, you can bring her in. But if you get angry and run away, Mr. Wu, don't regret it!"
As he spoke, he glared at Yang Zhao.
Yang Zhao is very innocent, how could she offend someone by applying for a job?
Then Grandma Wang walked up to her and asked softly: "Female sir, my young lady will also take the imperial examination in two months. As long as you have the ability, if you can compare with that Mr. Wu, then our eldest lady will have more money every month."
How about paying five taels of silver to ask you to be your husband?"
Yang Zhao, who originally didn't want to get into trouble, began to despise his timidity. This young lady seemed to be eager to learn, how could she live up to her kindness?
"Don't worry, old man, I have been taking exams for sixteen years from childhood to senior year. No one knows how to take exams better than me? Leave it to me, young lady, I can definitely do it!"
Grandma Wang also laughed: "Then you can follow me into the house!"
The applicants nearby were anxious, and a few brave ones stopped Grandma Wang on the spot and recommended themselves to him.
But at this moment, Manager Liu stood up and stopped the other applicants loudly: "My eldest daughter is also sixteen or seventeen this year. Men and women are not close to each other, so you are not suitable to teach the eldest daughter."
Grandma Wang sneered and led Yang Zhao into the house.
The yard was very big, and Yang Zhao followed her to the outside of a large building. Through the thin screen window, he could hear the voice of an old man chattering inside.
"I've told you a long time ago that you, a woman, are taking entrance exams for any university. Look at your answers to the test questions. Any street boy can answer them better than you. A woman with no talent like you can just get married and have children early.
Now, what are you going to study for?"
"Sir, I really don't know this question. Please give me some advice." The voice was soft and bright, and it was the voice of a young woman.
"With this kind of question, do you still need to explain it? No one can understand it at a glance. If you ask me some difficult questions, I will still be interested in explaining it to you. With such a simple question, you still have the nerve to ask.
?"
Grandma Wang outside was filled with anger, but she still whispered to Yang Zhao: "Female sir, you don't have to listen to his nonsense. Successive gentlemen have praised our eldest daughter for being smart and talented, but since she came to his house half a year ago,
In my hands, I can’t improve my arithmetic scores.”
Yang Zhao had long understood that Mr. Wu inside was not here to teach students at all, he was here to attack people. You should not be polite when dealing with such people.
"Teacher, you teach and solve doubts. Now you don't even help students solve their doubts. What kind of teacher are you?"
She entered Baoxia first. There were three people in Banxia. One was a thin old man, who was sitting on a chair and staring at Yang Zhao fiercely.
There was a little girl of sixteen or seventeen years old, wearing a goose-yellow dress, and holding a test paper in her hand. She must be the eldest lady, and there was a little maid serving tea and water standing next to her.
"Where did this shrew come from? She dares to act wild in my place. I said to Grandma Wang, why don't you beat her out now!"
Yang Zhao ignored him, but walked up to the lady and said softly: "Miss, can you show me your test paper?"
