None of the second generation of the Xue family has become successful, and the third generation is even more inexperienced.
The little grandson he is raising is a good scholar, so it is unlikely that the future of the Xue family will be shouldered by him.
This disciple of my husband is a good scholar. He has been known as a child prodigy since he was a child, and his reputation has spread to the capital.
In terms of knowledge, I'm afraid he is no worse than the old Jinshi. He is so talented and learned at a young age, and he probably has a unique way of learning. It would be great if he could be an enlightenment teacher for his grandson.
"Don't be ridiculous. Brother Xu is here to study. He will be finished next year. How can I have time to teach you?"
Although she was extremely excited and satisfied, Mrs. Jia still suppressed her emotions and nodded her grandson's forehead.
The child looked aggrieved. He wanted to cry but didn't dare to cry. He was wrinkled and holding it back.
Wang Xu saw it in his eyes and asked calmly: "Old woman, who is this child?"
"This is Xue Yun, the youngest son of your eldest uncle's family. He is a promising scholar. He can't tell the Xue family's literary name, so he has to shoulder the responsibility. As for your eldest uncle and second uncle, hey, I knew back then that these two were dead.
Those who study, as expected, are those who talk a lot and have high ambitions but low abilities, and are not capable of getting things done."
Mrs. Jia sighed repeatedly and looked at Wang Xu without speaking.
Wang Xu smiled as soon as he opened his mouth and said with a smile: "If the old woman doesn't think I am stupid, Xue Yun can become my disciple. The teacher took me in back then, and today I can finally repay the teacher."
Xue Mushan is his teacher, and the Wang family has also been protected by the Xue family over the years. We are all in the same boat.
Speaking of which, the teacher accepted him as his apprentice, and he in turn accepted the teacher's grandson as his apprentice. The legacy was passed down from generation to generation, and it became a good story when it spread.
In addition, Mrs. Jia’s move may not be without profound meaning.
You must know that the teacher Xue Mushan is old after all, and the second generation of the Xue family has not achieved success. It is difficult to say where the teacher will go after he retires and returns to his hometown.
Wang Xu is a candidate now, and he is more likely to be a Jinshi next year. The storm will turn into a dragon. The Xue family is protected today, so why not have someone to protect the Xue family in the future?
"Yun'er, I haven't brought tea to your master yet." Mrs. Jia was very happy and urged Xue Yun to go quickly.
Xue Yun trotted to Wang Xu, picked up the teacup on the seat and raised it above his head: "Sir, have some tea."
Wang Xu took the teacup and took a sip.
After a while, he put down the teacup, took off the jade plaque from his waist, and said, "Sir, I came in a hurry and didn't bring any gifts. Here is a jade plaque that a gentleman wears. I'll consider it as your congratulatory gift."
"Thank you, Mr. Xue." Xue Yun took the jade plaque and held it up to show Mrs. Jia.
Mrs. Jia smiled from ear to ear, looked at Wang Xu with an increasingly friendly look, and said, "Xu'er, what are your plans for going to Beijing this time?"
Wang Xu did not hide anything and said: "Old woman, I am here for next year's imperial examination. As for my plan, I will take the imperial examination first and make friends second. If possible, I also want to meet the heroes in the capital. In addition, there are also
One point is that the demon clan’s assassination order against me has always been there, and there are dragons and crouching tigers hidden in the capital, so I am here to avoid trouble.”
Along the way north, Wang Xu encountered two more assassinations. One was by a scum of the human race who had taken refuge in the demon clan, and the other was by a famous fifth-level demon king.
These two assassinations were more dangerous each time, especially the fifth-level demon king, who had real fifth-level strength.
Although Fahai's combat power is comparable to that of the fifth level, he is not a true fifth level after all, and he suffered a small loss at the hands of his opponent.
Fortunately, Wang Xu was walking along the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. In the end, the commotion was so loud that the Demon King was worried about attracting the Dragon King of the Canal, so he had to retreat.
If they had taken a small road, I'm afraid he and Fahai would have gotten lost halfway.
"That's it." After listening to Wang Xu's words, Mrs. Jia nodded: "You are right, there are indeed crouching tigers, hidden dragons in the capital, and the monsters here do not dare to act arrogant. In my opinion, you can
Just live in the house, your teacher means the same thing, he also plans to take you to visit relatives and friends to help him earn some face."
"Would it be too intrusive?"
Although Wang Xu was eager to live in the Xue Mansion, he had to make some concessions and pretended to be embarrassed on his face.
When Mrs. Jia heard this, she looked unhappy and reprimanded: "We are all from one family. Whatever two families say, that's it."
"What's settled?"
There were footsteps outside the door. Xue Mushan, who had just gone to court, was back in official uniform.
After not seeing each other for a few years, Xue Mushan lost a lot of weight and looked tall and thin. His court clothes looked like a big robe on his body.
"teacher"
Wang Xu bowed his head to the ground and saluted, then sighed: "You have lost weight!"
“Money can’t buy you longevity, isn’t longevity bad at all?”
Xue Mushan seemed to be in a good mood, and actually made a joke using the word "long" to the word "thin".
Wang Xu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He didn't expect that the teacher he hadn't seen for several years would still have such a sense of humor.
In my memory, the teacher often had a straight face, but rarely joked.
"By the way, I heard your decision as soon as I walked in. What's the decision?" After joking, Xue Mushan looked at Mrs. Jia again.
With a smile on her face, Mrs. Jia replied: "Master, I am asking Xu'er to stay in our house. You said that there are so many places in our house, so why does it mean that he lives outside? It seems that we can't afford a few pairs of chopsticks."
Yes. Also, Xu'er has agreed to be Yun'er's first teacher. This matter."
"Nonsense!"
Xue Mushan's expression suddenly changed, and he said coldly: "Xu'er went to Beijing this time to prepare for next year's imperial examination. How can he have the energy to be Yun'er's teacher? Yun'er is only eight years old. He can just find a scholar or a scholar.
You can enlighten him, aren't you just kidding?"
"This this"
Mrs. Jia also didn't expect that her master would have such an attitude, and she was hard-pressed to defend herself for a while.
What's wrong with being eight years old? When Wang Xu was eight years old, didn't you become his first teacher?
A contemporary great scholar serves as an enlightenment teacher for young children. How many people in the world can have such treatment? Why can't it be done by Xue Yun?
"Teacher, the sage said, you can become a teacher by reviewing the past and learning the new. It is difficult for me to make progress in my current knowledge in a short time. Being an enlightenment teacher for Xue Yun is not a kind of practice for what I have learned. I would say, this is
It's a good thing. If it were someone else, I wouldn't be worried if I rush to teach others."
Seeing that Mrs. Jia was a little unable to get off the stage, Wang Xu hurriedly spoke to save the situation.
Xue Mushan didn't say anything, he just glared at his wife, obviously not agreeing with this decision.
Because he knew that Wang Xu would not just rush for the exam next year, but also have a good chance of being among the best.
The time of a future champion is wasted to teach children. This is the treatment only a prince can have. How can a person be so greedy?
You know, Xue Yun is different from Wang Xu. Wang Xu is not known as a child prodigy, but he even impressed himself with a poem.
What does Xue Yun have? Although he is a little clever, compared with Wang Xu back then, he is in the sky and on the bottom.
Wang Xu became his teacher when he was eight years old. On that day, he wrote a poem about how only gold is valuable in the world and does not ask God to buy young people.
Can Xue Yun write? No, if he didn't have his own face, the scholar would not be his tutor.
"Grandpa, in case the gentleman in the public school is not as knowledgeable as the teacher, please let me learn from the teacher." Xue Yun was born in an official family and knew the importance of learning. He looked at Xue Mushan with a pleading expression.
Xue Mushan can look down upon his wife, but he can't get angry at his youngest grandson.
Xue Mushan hated the second and third generations of the Xue family but was helpless.
Studying really depends on talent. The second generation of the Xue family is considered useless, and the third generation is spoiled and spoiled, and few can become talented.
The youngest grandson, Xue Yun, is the only one of the direct descendants of the Xue family who is capable of studying. This makes Xue Mushan not confused.
"A true scholar wakes up at five o'clock and sleeps at two o'clock, can you insist?" Xue Mushan's tone softened a bit and asked Xue Yun.
3 to 5 o'clock is the fifth update, and 21 to 23 o'clock is the two updates.
Waking up at the fifth watch and sleeping at the second watch means going to bed at nine o'clock in the evening, getting up at three o'clock in the morning, and reading for more than twelve hours a day.
Not to mention children, there is very little that adults can do, and it will be very harmful to the body in the long run.
Xue Yun's heart pounded and he flinched a little, but when he saw his grandma's expectant eyes, he still gritted his teeth and said: "Yes."
"snort!"
Xue Mushan snorted coldly and flicked his sleeves: "I'll let you try for a few days. If you can't persist, there's no need to waste your teacher's time."
After saying this, Xue Mushan turned around and said to Wang Xu: "Come to my study, I have something to discuss with you."
Wang Xu looked up and saw Xue Mushan's face was serious, as if something big had happened.
And this matter doesn't seem to be a good thing, it is probably related to him.
