Chapter 907: Probe Four
The merchant already felt that he was a little unsure. Thinking of the person in front of him, it was obvious that he knew much more about the Zhao family than he did. Later, he simply asked the doubts in his heart: "Big brother, I heard you say, the head of the Zhao family has been sponsoring those scholars, isn't it, among these sponsored scholars, there are also those who have been admitted to the meritorious service to give back to the Zhao family? Otherwise, the head of the Zhao family always does this kind of loss-making business, and the clansmen in their family have no meaning?"
Hearing the merchant's question, the man first let out a sneer, and then answered the merchant's question with a strange smile on his face: "You asked the head of the Zhao family to subsidize so many scholars, whether there is anyone who has been admitted to the fame, I can't guarantee this, but if you want to say that the Zhao family has not received any benefits by subsidizing scholars, I can tell you clearly."
The head of the Zhao family has been subsidizing scholars for decades, not to mention tens of thousands, there must be thousands of people. Of course, there will be those who have made academic progress and become famous, but I have never heard of anyone who will turn back and thank the head of the Zhao family for his financial support at that time. ”
Hearing this man say this, the merchant couldn't help but be surprised, and he said: "How is this possible? Since some of these people have passed the meritorious examination, how can they also be grateful for the financial support of the head of the Zhao family." ”
Seeing that he was so surprised later, the man showed a mocking expression: "How is it impossible, just look at the eyes of the head of the Zhao family, and naturally he will know what the elites worthy of funding will be like among the scholars he selected." Anyone with eyes can see clearly. ”
Hearing this person say this, the merchant understood a little, and he couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Listen to the eldest brother, you mean to say that the vision of the head of the Zhao family is not successful." But as you said just now, there will be one or two people who are so many scholars who will make progress in their studies. Big brother, when you say that, I'm still getting more confused. You're going to have to tell me what's going on?"
The man was very satisfied with the performance of the merchant at this time, if it weren't for the fact that his parents were still alive at home, he wouldn't want to stay here in this aggrieved small county. No matter how long he is good at dancing and making friends with people from all walks of life, but with the behemoth of Zhao Bancheng, he always feels that he is constrained everywhere when doing things, and he is very aggrieved in the county.
Today, it is rare to meet such an informed and interesting brother as the merchant, and it also makes this person's conversation come up all of a sudden, and he doesn't mind talking more about the Zhao family. After all, these things are not private when it comes to them. In fact, it is also rare for the Zhao family to spread private things. Since it is already on the surface, of course, it is not afraid of others talking about it. Therefore, in order to teach him well, this brother, who is obviously very good at things, decided to tell him all the things he knew. It's kind of a quick time to make yourself vomit.
"Although the head of the Zhao family claims to be a scholar, in fact, he didn't even pass the children's exam. Don't look at the fact that he is always surrounded by scholars all day long, he claims to be a literati, and he is also a dancer at home, but in fact, his level is really limited, otherwise how could he not even be able to test the lowest level of fame.
Let's not talk about this, I didn't have that ability and didn't have a good rebirth, so I didn't even have the qualifications to study. This is also fate, I don't complain about anything, but, with the kind of resources of the head of the Zhao family, the children in their family are four or five years old, and they can go to the clan to learn enlightenment. In this way, the head of the Zhao family should have studied in the clan study for more than ten years. ”
At this point, the man hesitated, looked around with his eyes, and realized that it was safe in his own home, so he patted his chest and continued.
"It's not that I'm talking big, if I could study in a private school for a few years, I think I can pass the children's exam with my level. However, these old men were obviously born with a golden spoon in their mouths, and the conditions are so good, they don't have to worry about anything. Three meals a day, someone will deliver good food and drink, and you don't have to worry about your own life or that of your family. But after studying for more than ten years in such favorable conditions, I was stunned that I didn't even pass the children's exam. ”
When this man said the last sentence, his tone was still a little empty. After all, in this county, the status of the Zhao family is unique, and it is also his own home that he can make such a complaint.
If this was outside, he wouldn't dare say a word. Even so, after the man said this, he stared nervously at the merchant with his eyes, just waiting to see his reaction.
With such a burning gaze, how could the merchant not be able to catch it. He immediately slapped the table and echoed, "Yes, big brother." In fact, I really think that God is unfair, these people obviously voted for a good tire, but they didn't work hard at all. It's just reading, why are they so difficult? It's not anything else, even the ordinary words, which I haven't learned that day, have almost pondered it.
Not to mention you, big brother, you have made a lot of friends, including many readers, and I think my eldest brother can also talk to those readers. As long as this is a chance for the eldest brother, the eldest brother can enter the school when he is young and come into contact with books. ”
At the beginning, when he heard the merchant echo his words, this person was at peace in his heart. It seems that he is not mistaken, the kid in front of him is indeed on his side, at least he can clearly distinguish between distant and near relatives. The expression should not be pretending, it is indeed a heartfelt emotion.
This person's heart was completely settled, but when he heard the merchant's praise for him later, the man was also a little fluttering. In his heart, he fully agreed with the merchant's statement. If you can have time to study and money to go to school in your early years, then you must have a certain right to speak now that your achievements are by no means limited to this small county.
Maybe it's really like what the merchant said, he can be a parent official of one party. As soon as he thought of this, he felt a lot of pity in his heart, and in the end he could only shake his head and sigh deeply: "It's all fate." ”
The merchant didn't want to listen to him, and here he lamented how much his fate had kicked him, and hurriedly brought the topic back again, and brought up what the man had said before.
