Mr. Wu was speechless and picked up the paper written by Jiang Jiemo and looked at it carefully.
That child's name might not be surprising if it were used by an older person, but he is only four years old.
A little kid over four years old can actually have such writing power, which is better than that of my own son when he was a child.
It would be a shame if such buildable materials were buried in the countryside.
Mr. Wu lowered his head and stared at Jiang Jie: "Would you like to be his student?"
Jiang Jie blinked, remembering his sister's advice, and nodded: "Yes!"
My sister said that Grandpa Wu’s son may not be a Jinshi, and Grandpa Wu must be a very capable scholar. If she is lucky enough to have him as her teacher, it will not be a problem to take the exam to become a scholar in the future.
If he is admitted as a scholar, his family's land will be exempted from taxes. After he becomes a man, he can also wear colored clothes when walking outside. He does not have to wear black and red like his eldest cousin, which does not look good at all.
Mr. Wu turned to look at Jiang Sanlang, who was standing on the east side of the corridor in the distance, and waved to him.
Jiang Sanlang hurried over and saluted Mr. Wu and Mrs. Wu.
Mr. Wu stroked his beard and said, "Jiang Cunzheng, I want to take you as my disciple. What do I want?"
Jiang Sanlang was stunned for a moment, thinking that he heard wrongly. But he quickly realized it and bowed deeply to Mr. Wu, "My son, Mi Chensheng, has taken a fancy to him. If you don't accept his honor, I will be overjoyed in the East. Our whole family will not be disappointed."
willing."
Mr. Wu nodded: "Okay, Jiang Jie will no longer be my disciple from now on."
Hearing what Mr. Wu said, Yingbao was so excited that she gently pushed her younger brother and signaled him to kowtow and become his disciple.
Jiang Jie instantly understood what Sister Hong meant, knelt down in front of the old gentleman, kowtowed, and shouted: "Master is here, my disciple Jiang Jie kowtows to you!"
At first, because he was kneeling too quickly, he fell to the ground like a dog, but fortunately, he quickly got up and knelt down, and knelt down seriously.
Grandma Wu covered her mouth and kept laughing, and quickly helped the little baby up. "If you talk a little, your face will be bruised."
"No..." Jiang Jie touched his face, feeling a little embarrassed.
Mr. Wu: "Now that I am his disciple, am I willing to live there from now on?"
Jiang Jie hesitated and turned to look at his sister and then his father. When he saw both of them nodding, he had to nod as well: "Yes. Then, can he go home in the future?"
If you don't let him go home, he will regret it.
"You can come back soon. You can give me a day off in ten and a half days." Mr. Wu said, stroking his beard.
Jiang Jie hesitated, but nodded.
Coming out of the courtyard outside the Yamen, Jiang Jie lowered his head and remained silent.
Jiang Sanlang hugged him in the carriage and asked his little girl to stay with him and shut up.
But Jiang Jie didn't speak until he returned to Plum Blossom Lane.
Ying Bao knew that her younger brother could not accept leaving home and studying away from his parents, so she patted his head and said softly:
"If I want to take the exam and become a county magistrate, I must have a good master. Did I see any students from the county school yesterday? Some of them are older than dad and are studying in the school. I know why.
What?"
Jiang Jie said dullly: "Because they didn't pass the exam."
"That's wrong. I wonder why they always fail in the exam?"
"Because there is no great master."
"Haha, Xiaojie is so smart, he even knows that." Yingbao slapped her legs and said with a smile, "Just because they didn't have a good master when they were young, they are still studying when they are older than their father."
Jiang Sanlang: ...how old do you have to be before your children dislike you?
Then Yingbao continued: "I want to study until I am old enough to pass the exam, but don't I want to have a master to teach me and pass the exam early on as a scholar?"
Xiaojie thought for a moment and said, "He wants to take the exam early." He didn't want to study until he was older than his grandfather. By then he wouldn't even be able to walk.
Yingbao patted her younger brother's shoulder and encouraged him: "Yes, he has ambition. In the past, there was a little prodigy who passed the scholar examination at the age of ten, passed the imperial examination at the age of thirteen, and went to the capital to pass the Jinshi examination at the age of sixteen. He knew that Jinshi
How awesome, each of them can be a high official."
Jiang Jie's eyes lit up when he heard this.
When he was a child, he often listened to his sister telling stories about students studying in school, and he especially longed for those outstanding candidates in the story who went to Beijing to take exams.
There is no way to get the top spot on the gold medal list or to get the top prize. The ghosts and ghosts he encounters are attractive, so he must go to the exam early.
Yandong's first goal is to pass the talent examination first.
"Sister, when will he go to study at Grandpa Wu's place?"
Jiang Jie figured it out and couldn't wait to go to Grandpa Wu's house to become his apprentice.
Ying Bao smiled: "Dad has already gone to prepare for the apprenticeship ceremony. We will go early in the morning."
Early the next morning, Jiang Jie wore brand new plain cloth clothes, his hair was neatly combed, and he carried a cloth bag on his shoulder. He climbed into the carriage and walked straight away, looking like a proper little scholar.
Jiang Sanlang also wore clean plain cloth clothes, with six rites and sash.
Yingbao didn't go that time because that kind of occasion was not suitable for people other than elders to watch.
Jiang Sanlang didn't come back until noon.
With a face full of joy, he said to his daughter: "Xiaojie has already become a disciple. Mr. Wu will let him live in the county government office. On the first and fifteenth day of every month, we will take Xiaojie home for a month."
Yingbao was also very happy. "On the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, I will bring my mother to the county town."
Jiang Sanlang didn't mean that, he said with a smile: "Let's go home now and tell my mother the good news."
Children of villagers like them can take Mr. Wu as their teacher. This is a blessing that has been cultivated in several lifetimes.
Although Jiang Sanlang didn't know whether Mr. Wu had done anything before, he would be a great person if he could teach a son like Magistrate Wu.
But then again, if it were not for his little daughter, he would not even be able to cross the threshold of the county government office, let alone have a relationship with the county magistrate's family.
As soon as he heard that he would go back now, Jiang Quan had no time to go and climbed into the carriage.
Jiang Cheng was unwilling to leave, saying that he wanted to stay in Plum Blossom Lane to guard the house. Because there were carpenters coming to build furniture every day, someone had to be here to take care of him.
In fact, there was a reason why he did not return to his hometown. His current marriage made Jiang Cheng feel that he could not hold his head high in the village, so he wanted to stay in the county town for the rest of his life and never go back.
Jiang Sanlang told Jiang Cheng a few words and then drove the carriage out of the city.
Driving all the way, we finally returned to the village before dark.
Two puppies barked and ran over to greet their little master, their tails wagging like propellers.
"Dad! Sister!"
Jiang Wu hadn't seen his sister for several days. Every evening he stood on the high fence and looked at the road into the village. Mingyue Yuanji saw his carriage, coming from the east side of the fence quickly, and rushed out all the way.
Ying Bao jumped into the carriage, first gave her second brother a bear hug, and then picked up the two dogs and petted them several times.
Chun Niang also ran out and was stunned when she didn't see Jiang Jie: "Where is Xiaojie?"
Jiang Sanlang chuckled and said: "Xiaojie worshiped a master in the county town. From now on, he will live in his master's house. On the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, I will go with him to the county town to see him."
Chun Niang was at a loss for a moment, remembering that her little girl took Xiaojie to see the county magistrate, and asked in disbelief: "Did Xiaojie become his disciple to Mr. Wu?"
Jiang Sanlang smiled and said in a low voice: "As long as the family knows about it, don't let outsiders know."
The network seems to be unstable recently, and the chapters he updated cannot be found on the APP.
