"There are three private schools in the town now. One Mr. Liu is a boy. He is not very old, about thirty years old, and he is still taking the scholar examination. The second one is Yang Xiucai, who has already won the scholar examination, but he is older and probably
They are all fifty, and the other one is my husband, whose surname is Wen. He is over forty this year and is a scholar." Gu Wanhe briefly introduced the situation of private schools in the town, and at the same time did not want his second uncle to choose his husband.
So I just said it briefly.
"Brother Hua, is Yang Xiucai still preparing to take the exam? Are there many students in the private school?" Gu Chengyu felt that Mr. Liu among the three private schools was not suitable for him. First of all, Mr. Liu was not old and was still taking the exam.
They must all focus on the scholar examination, and may not be so attentive to the students. The second Yang scholar is older. If he does not continue the scientific examination and only focuses on teaching and educating people, he can consider it. As for the last one, I am afraid that Gu Wanhua will not
Do you want him to go too much?
When Gu Wanhua heard Gu Chengyu mention Mr. Yang, he knew that Mr. Yang's conditions he mentioned should be able to attract them. "I haven't heard that Yang Xiucai has failed in the past few years. He probably doesn't want to take the exam. There are nearly thirty students in the private school."
There are students, some of whom like me will take the county exam this year, and some of whom are just starting out."
After hearing this, Mr. Gu was somewhat satisfied with Mr. Yang, but he thought that Brother Hua was studying at Mr. Wen's school. Maybe Mr. Wen's conditions were better? "What about your husband, Mr. Wen? You are in Mr. Wen's private school.
, I should know more about your husband and tell him about his situation."
"My husband is very talented, but he is very strict. If he is not obedient, he will be punished at every turn. I think my uncle is old and I am afraid that he will not be able to bear it." Gu Wanhua was a little unhappy when he heard Father Gu ask about his husband.
.
"What are you talking about? Who taught you to talk about Mr. behind his back? Mr. needs to be stricter, otherwise he won't be able to discipline you students?" Uncle Gu saw that his grandson actually started to arrange things for Mr., which is really treasonous. More
What's more, if Xiaobao and the others ended up in Mr. Wen's private school, wouldn't they let Mr. Wen have a prejudice against Brother Hua if they let it slip?
"Then how many students are there in your private school? How many students have been dismissed this year? How many students have been dismissed in the few years you have been in the private school? How many students have been dismissed?" Gu Chengyu thought about it. Since he is very talented and strict with his students, what about the students in the private school?
There must be many students.
"There are fifty-two people now. Three people have been eliminated this year, and only three or four people have been eliminated every three years. As for whether anyone has been successful, how can it be so easy to pass the exam? In the past few years, only three scholars have been selected. In the past two years,
There is a senior who passed the government examination, but failed in the college examination. He is still studying at home, and often goes to the private school to ask teachers for advice. He is also preparing to take the examination this year. If you want to go to our private school, that is also good, but our teacher
To accept students, you have to pass his test. I enrolled in school at that time because my father taught me some words when I was at home, otherwise I would not be able to get in!" Gu Wanhua thought that Gu Chengyu must have not been enlightened. Unless he has some qualifications, otherwise Mr.
I may not accept him. Thinking of this, I feel like God is with me.
Gu Chengyu made some analysis. First of all, Mr. Liu should be ruled out. Mr. Yang remains to be seen. Mr. Wen should be a rigorous person. He will only let students end up when they are old or have some foundation. We have to go and see how it goes.
Only then can we know that just listening to Gu Wanhua's one-sided words is not enough.
"Dad, let's go to the private school in town tomorrow! What Brother Hua said makes people hesitant. It's better to go and have a look. Are you Mu Xiu today?" Gu Chengyu plans to go to someone else tomorrow.
I asked around. It suddenly occurred to me that didn't the daughter of Mr. Li's family marry into a bookstore in the town? Then her family should be better informed, after all, the people who buy books are scholars.
"It's time to take the exam. My husband asked me to review at home for two days."
"That's fine! Then brother, let's go back now. Brother Hua will end in a few days, right? Brother, don't be too strict. You should take care of your health. I think Mr. Wen should be very optimistic about Brother Hua.
Damn it, otherwise we won't let him end up." Father Gu thinks it's better to leave early and not to affect Brother Hua. If Brother Hua can survive, his third grandfather's face will be bright!
Gu Wanhua felt a little guilty after hearing this. In fact, he asked his husband for this end. He has been studying for eight years, including the enlightenment at home, which has been ten years. He wanted to end it to prove himself. But Mr. Wen said that she had some
He was restless, his foundation was not yet solid, and he needed to continue to solidify his foundation, but he couldn't wait any longer. Students his age also had two endings this year. In the end, his teacher saw that he had made up his mind, so he said he would give him a try.
.
"Then I won't keep you. I have to urge him. It's already 12 today, and the county exam is on the 16th of this month. On the 15th, you have to go to the county in advance to find an inn to stay, otherwise it will be difficult to go there on the same day.
It's too late, I have to get up before dawn in the morning. So I only have three or four days to study."
On the way back, Gu Chengyu told Father Gu about his plan, "Dad, tomorrow I'd better go to Mr. Li's daughter's bookstore and ask about it! It's better to ask around."
The next day, Gu Chengyu and Mr. Gu took Lao Wangtou's oxcart and went to the town. There was no big market today, and there were not as many people in the town as there were that day. The two of them asked someone on the street to find out if there were any people on the west side of the town.
There were two bookstores. I thanked them and walked straight to the west.
When they arrived at the west side, there were a lot of shops on both sides. Gu Chengyu saw the Xi Book Shop at a glance. The book shop had a two-room facade, and there were quite a few people coming in and out to buy books. In front of the counter, there was a man wearing a silk tie.
, looks to be about the same age as Gu Chengli. I heard that the trainee bookstore didn’t hire a shopkeeper, so this person is Li Langzhong’s son-in-law.
Gu Chengyu and Mr. Gu entered the bookstore and saw that there were quite a few books in the store, and there were actually people copying books among them. It seemed that scholars in ancient times did make money by copying books.
"But what books do you want to buy?" When the shopkeeper saw someone coming in, he asked as usual. Although neither of them seemed to be able to afford books or the Four Treasures of the Study, no matter who they were, they should not be underestimated.
"May I ask who you are, shopkeeper Pan?" Gu Chengyu stepped forward and bowed.
"Exactly, I didn't know who you were." Shopkeeper Pan was a little surprised. He had never seen the old man and the young boy, let alone knew them.
"This boy is from Shangling Village. This is my father. His surname is Gu. Is Mr. Li your father-in-law?"
"Indeed. What's the matter? Could it be that my father-in-law is looking for me for something?" Seeing that it was a boy who answered and mentioned his father-in-law, Shopkeeper Pan felt even more strange.
"I also heard from Mr. Li that his virtuous son-in-law opened a bookstore in the town. My family wants me to study in a private school in the town, but I don't know which private school is suitable. Shopkeeper Pan is well-informed and must have a good understanding of the town.
I am very familiar with the situation of going to private school, and I wonder if you can give us some advice."
After hearing this, Shopkeeper Pan took a closer look at the little kid in front of him who couldn't even reach the counter. He was a boy. He looked quite delicate, and his speaking skills were no worse than those of other people.
"It turns out to be Uncle Gu. I'm not very well-informed. I've only heard the students who came to buy books talk about it."
Gu Chengyu listened to him and then gave a general description of the private schools in the town, which was not very different from what Gu Wanhua said.
