As soon as these words came out, Wang Qikai suddenly felt guilty and his drinking tea slowed down.
As soon as Gu Chengyu saw it, he knew that Wang Qikai didn't take his words to heart, and he felt that iron could not become steel.
Being too heavy is not good for your health and brings many inconveniences in life. If Wang Qikai can pass the college examination this time, he will definitely take part in the provincial examination three years later.
How can someone with such a body survive entering the provincial examination room now? He will probably have to be carried out.
"You also know that I eat a lot, and I'm used to it. If I don't eat a meal, I'll feel hungry. I also like to eat sweets, so it's really hard to lose weight!"
In fact, how could Wang Qikai not be distressed? But he couldn't control himself! Thinking of this, he hated his father's wife, and she planned to slowly poison him to death, and then adopt a nephew in her natal family.
Even if her father knew about it, so what? The main wife's mother-in-law's family was so powerful, how could her father dare to offend her? However, fortunately, his father had already discovered her true face, and he was relatively safe.
"Didn't I ask you to gradually reduce your food intake? If you don't control yourself like this, you will suffer losses in the future." Gu Chengyu sighed, then shook his head.
Wang Qikai is three years older than him, and he is not young anymore, so he should have a good idea. He is a good friend and can't let people look at him every day!
"I think Jin Yu is right! In the final analysis, the body and bones are more important. If you really want to take the imperial examination, you must have a strong physique."
In fact, You Siyuan had already advised Wang Qikai, but Wang Qikai didn't take it to heart.
"Ahem! I will pay more attention in the future and stop eating sweets. I will give up sweets first." After being persuaded by the two people, Wang Qikai also hated his body that was shaking every step and still panting.
"Whenever you are free, come and stay with me for a few days. I brought a classmate from the Imperial College to be my friend in the capital, and I happened to introduce you two to him."
"Did you bring him back?" Wang Qikai was filled with resentment. He had known that Gu Chengyu had made two or three friends in the capital, but he was afraid that Gu Chengyu would forget about him.
"You have similar personalities. If you meet him, you will definitely meet him."
Wang Qikai curled his lips and then asked about Gu Chengyu's life in the capital.
"So there are so many articles in your promotion? Alas! It's so difficult to get promoted! If I go, I probably won't be able to get promoted in my life."
Wang Qikai was frightened by Gu Chengyu. He didn't expect that Gu Chengyu would work so hard to get promoted. He didn't have a brain like Gu Chengyu, so wouldn't it mean that there was no hope of promotion?
You Siyuan rolled his eyes at him, how many Gu Chengyu are there in this world?
"Do you think it's so easy to get promoted? How can you have Jin Yu's calculating mind? According to the normal system, if you stay in the Hanlin Academy for three years, as long as your performance is not too bad, you can always be promoted to a higher level when you leave.
"
If you really have to be like Gu Chengyu to be promoted, how can anyone else be promoted? There are only a handful of them.
Gu Chengyu was speechless for a while. Is this a compliment to him? Let’s think so!
Wang Qikai patted his chest and said, "Then there is still hope for my promotion."
You Siyuan interrupted him rudely, "You are really thinking too far, you are not even a scholar now! Do you have the ability to worry about that?"
You Siyuan thought in his mind that his father had met Gu Chengyu once before, and at that time he said that this kid was a good guy.
You have to build a good relationship with him, there will always be times when you ask for help from others in the future.
He has always admired his father's vision. In order to catch up with Gu Chengyu, his father even stopped being so repulsive about his association with Wang Qikai. This shows how much his father values Gu Chengyu.
Gu Chengyu looked at the time and planned to get up and leave. He had to go to the third and fourth brothers.
"If you are willing, go to my house early to relax. It's getting late and I have to go back. There are a lot of things going on these days."
Gu Chengyu thought about clan studies, but the master's affairs were not settled yet.
He suddenly slapped his forehead. Earlier when he was with Master Wen, he didn't ask Master Wen. Maybe there were some knowledgeable people he knew who could come to Shangling Village to teach?
As for Master Wen, he didn't have extravagant hopes. After all, Master Wen's own private school was very impressive and had no shortage of students. There were even too many students who wanted to go there every year, and Master Wen had to choose the best.
Besides, what could be more free than running a private school of your own? To hire a master for a clan school is just to pay monthly money. Of course, the monthly money will definitely not be less. But after all, they provide the venue, so it is impossible for a private school to earn more.
"Qi Kai, Siyuan! Do you know any knowledgeable people? I have set up an ethnography school in the village, and now I am still short of two teachers."
The two people's families were the most popular in the town. They had hired a famous master to teach them individually before. Maybe they had heard of other masters.
"Are you going to start a clan school? What requirements do you have for Master?"
You Siyuan was a little surprised when he heard that Gu Chengyu was going to set up a clan school. After all, he had heard before that Gu Chengyu already had a private school in the village.
Gu Chengyu thought for a while, although it was mostly enlightenment in the beginning, but later on those clan members who learned well also needed to be taught individually by well-educated masters, so it would be better to do it in one step.
"Education cannot be low. Although it is just an enlightenment at the beginning, I want to continue to carry out clan studies for a long time."
When Gu Chengyu said this, You Siyuan understood. It seemed that the requirements were not low. His former wife did know many such wives, so finding two would not be a problem.
In fact, considering Chengyu's current status, even if the monthly salary is pitifully small, those people will flock to her.
This is a good opportunity. If you can establish a good relationship with this young champion, it will be an important connection.
"I'll go back and ask my teacher. He knows a lot of people, and he might be able to find one that satisfies you."
Gu Chengyu nodded, believing that You Siyuan could understand what he meant.
As long as he revealed some words, he would not worry about finding a teacher. But he felt that if too much utilitarianism was involved and the children were not taught seriously, he would not tolerate it.
To choose him, one must pass the exam. He doesn't mind having students who took the imperial examination come to teach, but his character must pass the test.
"Jin Yu! I've already told dad that I will go to your house tomorrow. But You Siyuan said he won't be able to come over until tomorrow, so I'd better wait for him to come with me!"
Wang Qikai was a little curious about Gu Chengyu's good friend in the capital, but he must be a descendant of a big family in the capital.
He couldn't embarrass Jin Yu, so he asked You Siyuan to join him so that he wouldn't be at a disadvantage.
Gu Chengyu didn't know Wang Qikai's strange thoughts. He glanced at the two of them suspiciously.
Is it too good to be true? What happened in the years when he was gone?
When Gu Chengyu returned to the village, he saw two carriages in front of his courtyard from a distance, and there were many villagers.
Gu Chengyu stroked his forehead. His house had always been a gathering place for villagers' gossip.
"I'm coming!"
As soon as Gu Chengyu got off the carriage, he noticed a crowd of people coming over.
The first man, wearing a seventh-grade green robe and bearing the Xiuxi imperial edict, came over first, saluted Gu Chengyu and said, "Li Yong, magistrate of Qinghe County, pays homage to Mr. Gu!"
