"You have nothing to do in the house all day, why are you not diligent and enterprising? If you don't strive for progress, you are in vain to be the son of my Su family."
Su Yizhao raised his eyelids, but he was wondering in his heart.
This cheap dad suddenly scolded her seriously today for not studying. Is this a sexual transformation? This guy usually doesn't care about this.
"My son has not yet entered the clan school and has no books in hand, so he can only listen to the arrangements of the family." Su Yizhao had to explain.
"Why don't you join the clan?" Su Wenqing frowned, and his eyes were much deeper than before.
"Sir! Clan studies haven't started yet! Last year Mr. Luo took leave and returned to his hometown, but this year he hasn't found a reputable wife yet." Uncle Zhong couldn't help but remind him.
"Oh! Ouch!" Su Wenqing then remembered, "Then you have to study hard in your own courtyard!"
"Sir! I'm afraid that the young master is still illiterate, right? It's a bit difficult if there is no one to teach him! Besides, the government has not yet announced anything about the young master joining the clan and studying. Is he afraid that the old master will have no time to take care of it because of the paperwork?"
Uncle Zhong can't stand it anymore. You have to mention this to the old man! If you don't mention it, who will remember it?
Su Wenqing felt that his face was dull at this moment. He glanced at Uncle Zhong and felt that Uncle Zhong was such an eyesore for the first time.
Su Yizhao gave Uncle Zhong a look of thanks. This father clearly didn't take her seriously.
"Ahem!" Su Wenqing coughed lightly, "If you don't know something, you should ask your elder brother for advice. Your father and I are also in the mansion, why don't we come and ask for help?"
Uncle Zhong noticed that his master's eyes were a little unkind just now, and he did not dare to say anything more.
But he muttered in his heart, if you are not at home, how can it be so easy for the young master to see you?
"The son is afraid that he will be stupid, so he doesn't dare to disturb his father and brothers!" Su Yizhao, who was mute, ate Coptis chinensis and simply picked up the good words.
"Do you want to study?" Su Wenqing suddenly asked seriously.
Su Yizhao said without hesitation: "I think! My father is well-educated and knowledgeable. The elders and brothers in the family are all talented. How can my son lag behind others? I should follow your example!"
"Okay, okay! You are worthy of being my son!" Su Wenqing was overjoyed when he heard this. He immediately helped Su Yizhao, who was saluting, and nodded with satisfaction.
One dares to praise, the other dares to accept! Uncle Zhong just feels that he is ignorant.
He didn't understand how he could boast without changing his expression.
"Then let's go to the old man's place with our father!" Su Wenqing was very happy and felt that it would be better to choose a different day and settle the matter earlier.
Mr. Su is taking a rest today, and there are a lot of general affairs in the outer courtyard of the house waiting for him to deal with.
When he heard that the unknown son was coming, Mr. Su wanted not to see him at first, but a servant came to report that he had brought the seventh young master with him.
He wondered what was going on, so he put the person into the study room in the outer courtyard.
"Father!" When Su Wenqing saw the old man, he hurriedly saluted and stood up straight.
"My grandson has met my grandfather!" Su Yizhao followed the etiquette and bowed in a formal manner.
When the old man saw that Su Yizhao had learned the rules and had achieved results, he nodded with satisfaction.
"Why did you two come here?"
The old man never believed that his son could do anything serious, so he asked nonchalantly.
"Father! Xiao Qi has not yet joined the clan to study and does not know a few Chinese characters. For our Su family, this is a disgrace to our family."
Old Mrs. Su was very surprised when he heard this. He was stunned for a moment and then said: "It's an insult to the family, but it's a strong statement. When the clan is educated, just let him go to school."
I'm confused that this son still worries so much about his juniors. When the fourth son went to school, he didn't do so.
Mrs. Su was delighted because she thought her old son had become sensible.
"But you are right. Not only is our Su family a famous family, it is also a family of officials. If you don't want to make progress, you will be ashamed of your status as the nephew of the Su family."
Su Yizhao observed Mr. Su carefully, and saw that he was surprised at first, and then became probing.
Huh? This doesn't seem like a normal reaction. Is there some hidden secret in this that is not known to outsiders?
"What my father said is true! Therefore, my son plans to let him enter Fengtian Academy."
Su Wenqing suddenly said something shocking, and Su Yizhao looked over in surprise.
"Fengtian Academy?" The old man was also very confused after hearing this, "Our clan has its own clan academy, why should we go to Fengtian Academy?"
"Although Fengtian Academy has a former tutor who teaches and teaches, he is a highly respected person and cannot be taught by everyone. Let's find a famous tutor without delaying our studies!"
Although several young masters in the family hired teachers to teach them individually, the masters in ethnic studies were not bad, so it was enough to teach Su Yizhao elementary school for the time being.
"My son doesn't plan to find that tutor!" Su Wenqing shook his head.
"Then who do you want to be a disciple of?" The old man searched through the famous masters in Fengtian Academy in his mind, and suddenly thought of something.
"Oh! But Master Liu? This man does have some knowledge and has many disciples. He is also a good candidate. If you can ask him to teach Xiao Qi personally, it will be Xiao Qi's blessing."
Mr. Liu's teaching career was not bad either. Although he was not as good as the former Taifu, he was still well-known in the capital.
Fengtian Academy is very famous in the capital. Although wealthy families have clan schools and hire famous teachers to teach their children, there are many famous teachers in Fengtian Academy.
Especially the former Taifu Zhu Yue, who was the teacher of the emperor today. Now he has become an official and is the headmaster of Fengtian Academy.
"Not this person!" Su Wenqing shook his head again.
This makes the old man curious, who is he?
"Who is that?" the old man couldn't help but ask.
"It's Master Li!" When Su Wenqing said this person's name, his face was full of respect, but the old man was confused.
He thought about it, but he didn't expect who Master Li was!
"I forgot, what kind of expert is this Master Li?"
Su Wenqing looked at his old father in bewilderment and said, "Father, don't you remember? You had a game with him before and said that he has superb chess skills and you are no match for him."
The old man suddenly realized, "Are you talking about Li Shuzhi?"
Seeing his old son nodding solemnly, the old man felt angry.
"Then who is Li Shouzhi? You actually want Xiao Qi to become his teacher? I think you are out of your mind."
Su Yizhao was a little confused, who was Li Shizhi and why was the old man so angry?
"Is Master Li bad? Didn't my father praise him a lot before? Why are you so angry suddenly?" Su Wenqing was very confused and asked.
"This man only knows how to play chess. He doesn't care about the six skills of a gentleman. He is even less familiar with common people's affairs. What's the use of becoming a disciple? Men should learn literary and martial arts, relieve their worries and work for the saints, serve the country wholeheartedly, and benefit the people. How can they spend all their energy on playing chess every day?
superior?"
The old man tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart. This old son has always been out of tune. Today, he believed in evil and actually thought he had changed his evil ways.
"Those teachers talk about official career and fame all day long. They are so philistine and vulgar! What is the original intention of us scholars? To acquire a wealth of knowledge in order to enter the official career?"
