Gong Yu can still clearly feel Zhao Rong's respect for scholars. Take the matter of his eldest brother taking the exam, Zhao Rong was actually more attentive than himself. In those days, his eldest brother took the exam.
At that time, Zhao Rong was by his side, and his worries and expectations were no less than his own.
And after meeting his eldest brother, Zhao Rong became extremely respectful, and his attitude towards him was almost flattering. Even small things like pouring water, Zhao Rong did it himself. This shows how much Zhao Rong loves scholars in his heart.
Respect.
But Zhao Rong shouldn't be at such a low level in study. After all, he can understand some poems, but Zhao Rong can't understand them at all. He knows all those words, but the meaning when they are grouped together,
But he couldn't understand it at all.
This also made Gong Yu very strange. But since he discovered this, he tried his best to avoid letting Zhao Rong face this kind of thing. This is also an aspect of Gong Yu's consideration for him. After all, those are poems and poems in private schools.
Gong Yu already knew everything he had learned from his master. But he was unwilling to show his knowledge in front of Zhao Rong, which made him completely ignorant.
So in his heart, Gong Yu looked down on the old gentleman who enlightened Zhao Rong. After all, in his opinion, the little brothers Zhao Rong were smart and smart, and they were not the kind of dead wood that couldn't be taught no matter how hard they taught them. But, like this
He has good qualifications, but he was delayed by his great Confucian old gentleman. Otherwise, how could Zhao Rong be able to do it now, he only knows some ordinary characters.
Of course, when facing Zhao Rong, Gong Yu couldn't express his thoughts, but now, when his eldest brother asked, he simply revealed all his conjectures and speculations.
"Brother, I think that old gentleman Zhao Rong just took the name of a master for nothing, but did not do the work of a master. I don't know how Zhao Rong got along with him. Anyway, I think Zhao Rong is known to be with that man.
This old gentleman has been learning for nearly ten years, but he only knows some commonly used words. That knowledge is actually what I learned in private school in less than a year.
"
Of course, Gong Yu didn't hide anything about his eldest brother. He continued to complain: "I don't know if this old gentleman is not good at teaching, or what. Anyway, I feel that little brother Zhao Rong was wasted in his hands.
And because only Zhao Rong is a student, the others don’t know how to teach and teach for so many years, which is why Zhao Rong’s current situation is caused.”
Hearing Gong Yu talk about Zhao Rong's current knowledge, Gong Jian was also shocked. He never expected that Zhao Rong, who was so smart and respectful to him in the afternoon, could only reach the level of ordinary people in terms of knowledge.
He cannot be considered a scholar.
However, seeing Zhao Rong's expectation for the literary society and his respect for himself, Gong Jian instinctively knew how much he yearned for reading.
If it is true, as his second brother said, that Zhao Rong has been studying with that old master for nearly ten years, then his current level is completely abnormal. This incident also comes from another
On the other hand, it proves the strangeness in Zhao Rong's family.
Thinking that Zhao Rong's father and mother had spent a lot of money and even more effort to invite the old gentleman to his home to teach Zhao Rong. Gong Jian couldn't help but wonder whether Zhao Rong's father and mother knew.
What is Zhao Rong's current reading level? Or maybe they knew about it but didn't care, or maybe his father and mother didn't understand anything, which is why the old master fooled Zhao Rong's family.
In any case, whether his parents knew about it or not, Zhao Rong's current level of knowledge was obvious to all. It seemed that this made Gong Jian couldn't help but ask Gong Yu again.
"Second brother, I see that Zhao Rong is still very interested in studying and respects scholars. So has he said whether he will take part in the imperial examination in the future and what his future plans are?"
Gong Yu didn't expect that his eldest brother would actually ask such a question. He and Zhao Rong had been out playing in the past few days, eating, drinking and having a lot of fun, but they had never discussed these big issues such as life planning.
Even when the two of them were in the teahouse, waiting for Gong Jian to take the Juren Examination, they talked more about the scenery of which place they had visited, and which place they had eaten had more delicious snacks, but there was really nothing.
They talked about their future life plans. So, when his elder brother asked about this, Gong Yu lowered his head and said with some shame: "Brother, we really haven't discussed these issues."
Gong Jian, however, had no intention of blaming his second brother. Originally, two children who had just met went out to play together. Who would talk about these issues to spoil the scenery?
So he immediately said: "It's okay. I think you haven't had time to talk about these things yet. After all, you haven't been together for a long time."
Hearing what his eldest brother said, Gong Yu regained some of his energy. Yes, he and Zhao Rong only got along for a few days. During this period, most of them were spent playing, so how could they talk about it?
What about these profound questions?
Just think about it, if Zhao Rong goes home in more than ten days as he originally said, then they will get close after a few days of playing, and they will naturally talk about some profound issues. By then,
Naturally, we can ask what Zhao Rong's plan is for his life.
Thinking of this, Gong Yu couldn't help but complain: "Really, we had all been looking forward to traveling with my eldest brother. Now we finally waited until eldest brother finished the exam, but Zhao Rong's family didn't know where to go.
What happened? He had to rush back, which disrupted our plan."
Of course, Gong Yu was complaining in his heart. He had just been happy with Zhao Rong, and they were talking very happily. The sudden separation made him feel very disappointed.
Seeing that Gong Yu was single-minded and still complaining about the uncertainty of the world, Gong Jian couldn't help but express his thoughts: "Second brother, I always feel that there are some problems in Zhao Rong's family. I don't know if I am overthinking it."
Hearing what his eldest brother said, Gong Yu immediately cheered up. He knew that his eldest brother was not the kind of person who talked about others at will. If there wasn't something incredible happening in Zhao Rong's family, his eldest brother would never ask him.
