Mr. Zhuang said: "You have always been arrogant. When you were in Qili Village, you were all pure people, so you are somewhat lacking in these aspects. Therefore, it will be more difficult for you to enroll in the academy this time than others at the beginning, especially since you are better than others."
The students are younger and more visible."
Mr. Zhuang is not stupid, not to mention that he only has to be responsible for three disciples now. Even though Bai Shanbao has done a good job, his face still looks a little gloomy.
It was fine yesterday. Even when I went out this morning, I was mostly excited. Why did I just go out for a day and then change when I came back?
He didn't ask what happened in Bai Shanbao's school, but just told him, "No matter what happens, I just hope you can remember that you go to the school to learn."
Mr. Zhuang said: "There is a major exam every year in the government school. As long as your grades are good enough, you can not only be in Class A, but you can also go further than the classmates who entered the same year, and even directly get a place to take the Imperial College entrance examination."
Mr. Zhuang stood up and walked to the window. He turned his back to Bai Shanbao and said softly: "There have been very few good students in the private school in the past two years. I heard that among the students who went to Beijing last year, only two were admitted to the sixth school. You know what this means.
What?"
Bai Shanbao was slightly stunned and asked: "Yizhou is so weak, only two people passed the exam?"
"In previous years, in the entire Jiannan Province, no less than twenty people should have passed the exam every year, and at least ten of them were from Yizhou Prefecture School..." Mr. Zhuang did not finish his words, but the meaning was very clear.
Bai Shanbao's eyes widened and he understood.
The current number of admissions has actually dropped to two people. Regardless of what the Jiedushi and the governor's office think, the government school must be very sad.
So it doesn’t matter what reason he was targeted for, as long as his grades are good enough...
Thinking of those people targeting him, Bai Shanbao sneered.
Mr. Zhuang turned back to look at him. Seeing that he understood, he smiled slightly and waved: "Okay, it's getting late. Go wash up. You will have to wash your clothes later."
As the sun set, Zhou Lijun collected his clothes and went to the river with them to wash clothes.
Now they are the only ones who come to the river to wash clothes. They very comfortably occupy a stone and chat while washing clothes.
Bai Erlang was particularly envious of Man Bao: "You have been out for most of the day today, but your husband didn't even ask, when can I be like you?"
Man Bao: "That's difficult. First you have to be self-disciplined, then you have to study well, and finally you have to be a woman."
Bai Erlang snorted, threw the clothes in his hands into the water, stirred them up, then dragged them up and beat them.
Bai Shanbao turned to Man Bao and told Man Bao what his teacher had just said to him, and said, "I don't know what the level of the gentlemen at Fu Xue is like. How about we preview the textbooks ourselves in the evening?"
Man Bao nodded, "That's fine."
Zhou Lijun was washing clothes silently. She understood some words, but she didn't quite understand some words.
Sure enough, my sister-in-law is right, reading more books is still very useful, at least it will not make you unable to understand some words.
For example, she didn't know why her sister-in-law was so excited and happy when Master Bai Shan said that only two people were admitted to Beijing for the imperial examination last year.
Zhou Lijun couldn't help but turn around and talk to her sister-in-law, "Sister-in-law, I also want to read a book."
"No problem, I brought all my books this time. What book do you want to read?"
"What book does my sister-in-law think I should read?"
Man Bao thought for a moment and said, "How about you read history books, starting with the Spring and Autumn Annals? If you don't understand, you can ask me or sir."
Zhou Lijun had a headache, "Sister-in-law, "Spring and Autumn" is so difficult."
Manbao never eats alone, and the same goes for books, so they can read the books in her room for them to read.
After graduating from school, Datou and the others no longer read the books. At most, they occasionally read a few sentences along with Santou and the others while they recited the books.
Erya had read the books in Manbao's study, but none of them she liked.
Unlike the catchy "The Thousand Character Essay", the relatively easy-to-understand and story-telling "The Analects of Confucius" or the beautiful "The Book of Songs", the rest of the books in Manbao's room are very difficult to read.
Even Zhou Lijun is very perseverant, and he usually can't sit still for more than two pages.
Man Bao understood her feelings and said: "I have broken down all the sentences in the books I have read. They are very easy to read. If you want to read them in vernacular, then only travel notes and storybooks are suitable."
Man Bao couldn't help but glance at Bai Shanbao and Bai Erlang. After thinking about it, he thought it would be good to read the travel notes, and the storybook was also very good.
So he whispered to Zhou Lijun: "I haven't bought any travel notes or story books, but they two have. I'll borrow them for you later."
Zhou Lijun didn't understand. Since it was a borrowed book, why didn't he borrow it now?
The four of them talked and finally finished washing their clothes before it got completely dark, and then went home with the wooden basin in their arms.
After drying the clothes, Man Bao went to find Bai Erlang.
Bai Erlang said nervously: "I didn't, don't ask me!"
Although she and Zhou Lijun were talking quietly by the river just now, they were not very far away, so Bai Erlang naturally heard it.
So before Man Bao could speak, he refused.
Man Bao didn't believe it, "You must be hiding it. If you don't share the book, are you no longer a friend?"
"My father asked your fourth brother to bring me all my books. Do you think my father would give me travel notes and story books?"
"It was in your carry-on luggage."
Bai Erlang: "No!"
Man Bao clenched his fists and looked at him.
Bai Erlang said with a guilty conscience: "Well, those books are not what a young lady should read."
"That's weird, I've read all your stories."
Bai Erlang:...So sir, you cut him.
"Whether you give it or not, I won't be able to find my husband."
Bai Erlang was angry, "You traitor, you also look for miscellaneous books to read when you go to the bookstore!"
"Sir knows."
Bai Erlang:......
With luck, Bai Erlang still lay down on the ground, pulled out a box from under the bed, opened it, and found that it was full of clothes. He reached out and felt inside the clothes, took out a book, took a look at it, and stuffed it back.
Keep touching...
Man Bao looked curiously, and although his movements were fast, they were still not as fast as her eyes.
"Spring is all over the world? I have never read this book. Could you please show it to me?"
Bai Erlang slammed the box shut, widened his eyes and said, "Do you still want it? If you want it, step aside. I can only give you one book."
Man Bao took a step back slightly, spread his hands and said, "Okay."
Bai Erlang saw that she couldn't see here anymore, so he opened the box and searched hard, found a book, and stuffed it back, found a book, and stuffed it back...
Manbao:……
Not only Manbao was speechless, but also Bai Shanbao who was leaning on the window and looking in. He stretched his neck to look in curiously, but found that he couldn't see anything. Unknowingly, he climbed to the window sill and craned his neck to look over.
.
Man Bao turned his head boredly and suddenly saw the person on the window. He was so frightened that he took a step back and almost screamed.
