Chapter 066: The Peasant Family's Imperial Examination Road (7)

The show talent of the Zhou family has gone to work!

This news seemed to have been plugged into wings and quickly spread in Zhoujiaao.

When the villagers heard the news, they rushed to the Zhou family's land to watch, including the patriarch of the Zhou family.

Of course, the patriarch's youngest son Zhou Yaoming, who was studying, also came.

I saw that he was about twenty years old, his body was slightly thin, and he was still a little swaying in a half-worn robe.

Xu is not working in the field all year round, his skin is very white, coupled with the reading frame he deliberately posed, the overall image is very inconsistent with the surrounding neighbors.

Zhou Yaoming did not feel that he was unsociable, but was complacent about his standing out from the crowd.

Over the years, he has been aiming at his cousin Zhou Yaozu in the next room, always thinking that he can become famous like him and be famous as a teenager.

I don't know how many nights, he even secretly thought that he was one step ahead of Zhou Yaozu and became the most outstanding person in the entire Zhou Jiaao, so that those brothers and sisters-in-law who thought he spent money on studying would look at him differently.

also made those who laughed at him behind his back turn around and curry favor with him.

It's a pity that a dream is a dream after all, and it can never change reality.

Zhou Yaoming was also enlightened at the age of six, and began to try to enter the examination room at the age of thirteen, but he took the exam once, failed the list once, and failed every year.

He is twenty-one years old this year, and he has taken the exam nine times, but he is still a white man.

The eyes of his brothers and sisters-in-law became colder and colder, and his parents, who had high hopes for him, no longer let him take what he wanted, and even the lady who had always revered him began to carefully persuade him not to read it anymore.

Zhou Yaoming hated it, hated God's injustice, hated his bad luck, hated his family for not understanding and supporting him, and hated those who looked down on people even more.

In order to "shock" his family, he increasingly put up a shelf as a scholar.

If anyone says something like letting him work, he will throw the other party a sentence of "insulting Sven".

Zhou Yaoming thought that he was maintaining the pride of a scholar, but as everyone knows, he has become a waste in the eyes of the villagers of Zhoujiaao, and he is also a negative teaching material for the big guys to educate their children.

Even because of his existence, many parents who want their children to become Jackie Chan do not dare to send their children to study easily.

I am afraid that the child will not succeed in studying, but will become a waste like Zhou Yaoming, who can't do anything, even makes a living, and is pretentious!

They are not patriarchs, and they don't have so much property for their sons to squander.

Zhou Yaoming didn't know what the villagers thought of him, maybe he knew, but he didn't care, he still regarded Zhou Yaozu as an idol in his heart.

As a result, his idol is now wearing coarse linen clothes and working in the fields like a vulgar old farmer, and Zhou Yaoming suddenly felt that the image in his heart collapsed.

"Brother Gao Yuan, how can you work in the field? ”

Zhou Yaoming stood on the ridge and shouted angrily, as if he was blaming Zhou Yaozu for betraying them scholars.

Gao Yuan, it was Zhou Yaozu who went to study in the academy, and in order to be elegant, he specially asked Mr. to give him the words.

In order to show that he is a scholar, Zhou Yaoming never called Zhou Yaozu "Brother Yaozu" like other brothers, but called him "Brother Gaoyuan" in a crepe manner.

Anne had never done farm work in her life, but she thought that she was a special forces soldier anyway, and she had carried all the hard training, and she was still afraid to work in the fields.

Therefore, after breakfast in the morning, she asked Zhou Yaozong to borrow a linen clothes, and went directly to the ground with her two sons.

Don't ask him why he doesn't wear Zhou Yaozu's old clothes, it's really the Zhou family who takes too good care of Zhou Yaozu, and the good clothes in his wardrobe are also seven or eight percent new.

Even if there were one or two old clothes, they were made of excellent fabric, and there was no coarse linen of the kind that the peasants worn.

Mai was rough, but Anne could stand it.

But what she didn't expect was that the farm work in the field would be so tiring.

This kind of tiredness is completely different from the tiredness of military training.

After training, my muscles hurt all over my body.

And doing farm work, the most tiring thing is the waist.

Whether it is weeding, fertilizing or watering, it is all bent over, and at the end of the day, it is natural that the back pain and leg pain are terrible.

In addition, Zhou Yaozu's body is used to being pampered, and because he eats well, he is a little blessed.

With a small belly, but still bending over to work, this taste is really uncomfortable.

Just when Anne was so tired that her calves and stomach were spinning and sweating profusely, she heard Zhou Yaoming's shouting.

Anne took the opportunity to stand up, put her hand on the pergola and looked at the ridge, and was immediately startled.

Good guys, why are so many people here.

Anne knew after a little thought that Zhou Yaozu was the only talent in Zhou Jia'ao at present, and he usually looked like a noble man on top.

Have you ever been on the ground?

Such a pampered and talented old man suddenly went to work in the field, and the people in the village were naturally curious.

As for Zhou Yaoming, Anne shook her head, this person is not even as good as Zhou Yaozu.

Although Zhou Yaozu is a scumbag, he does have the talent to read, otherwise he would not have been admitted to Xiucai.

And Zhou Yaoming is not a reading material at all, a book of Analects, and he has not memorized it for a year.

I often memorize an article and forget it in the blink of an eye.

The bear broke the stick, and in the end there was still one left, Zhou Yaoming was not even as good as the bear, and in the end, he learned that he knew some words, and he couldn't memorize the whole article.

After learning like this, how can you be admitted to the imperial examination?

The gentleman of the private school gently persuaded him several times, telling him not to waste the family's money.

Zhou Yaoming only pretended not to understand, and his husband had to suggest that he try other private schools.

In order to send away Zhou Yaoming, an over-age student, Mr. did not hesitate to blacken himself: Old decay has limited learning, I am afraid that it will delay your studies, why don't you find another famous teacher?

The private school in the neighboring village is the cheapest private school in Shili and Eight Townships, and this gentleman can teach the youngest talent in Qi County, and he is also really talented.

Zhou Yaoming knew that if he couldn't stay in this private school, his family would definitely not let him go anywhere else.

In order to continue to fulfill his dream of studying, Zhou Yaoming was cheeky and took classes with a group of children under the age of ten.

In the original plot, Zhou Yaozu caused the Zhou family to be ruined, and the patriarch of Zhou witnessed the tragic situation of the Zhou family, and immediately divided the family and separated Zhou Yaoming, who was going to study alive and dead.

Although Patriarch Zhou was worried that his youngest son would affect his family like Zhou Yaozu, he didn't really care about his younger son.

Therefore, when the family was separated, he gave his younger son a generous amount of family wealth.

If Zhou Yaoming stops studying, even if he doesn't do anything, he can live in peace with the money from the family.

As for Zhou Yaoming, as soon as he split up, he sold a few acres of land and went to the county seat to study with the silver.

He couldn't get into Qingyun Academy, after all, people had to take exams.

Zhou Yaoming found a private school with a good reputation, and he read it for more than ten years.

Then, he continued to repeat the life of "failing the exam every year", and only sold all the fields and houses in his family.

The two daughters were also sold, and the son had no money to buy medicine because he was sick, so he died of illness.

The lady suffered one blow after another, and she was overworked, and a few days after her son died, she also went.

A good family was scattered, Zhou Yaoming went crazy, wearing a torn robe, crying and laughing on his back with "Chaowei Tian Shelang, Dusk to Tianzi Hall", "There is a golden house in the book, and Yan Ruyu in the book" ran crazy on the street.

At first, his brother would take care of it, but after a long time, he was allowed to go crazy.

Finally, on a winter day, Zhou Yaoming ran out of the house again and froze to death on the side of the road.

Since him, the villagers of Zhoujiaao no longer dare to send their children to study, so that there has not been a single scholar in Zhoujiaao for thirty or forty years.

Whenever a child asks to study, the villagers will take Zhou Yaozu and Zhou Yaoming out to talk about it, so that both of them have been dead for many years, and they are still the negative examples of Zhou Jiaao's education of his son!

After the death of the original owner, the soul was not dispersed, and when he saw this, he wanted to become the most promising person in the entire Zhoujiaao.

It is estimated that he also has a hidden wish, that is, to become the most outstanding person in Zhoujiaao and even the entire Qi County, and to become the "child of someone else's family" that all parents envy!

Anne thought in her heart, but her face was not obvious, she walked to the edge of the field, and said to Zhou Yaoming with a smile: "How is it 'insulting Sven'? My cousin is full of poetry and books, and he should have heard the word 'cultivating and reading heirlooms'." In ancient times, those sages and celebrities were proud of 'cultivating and reading', so how can they talk about the word 'insult'?"

"Cultivating and reading heirlooms, Yaozu, do you mean that scholars can also do rough work in the fields?" a villager asked curiously.

Zhoujiaao is too remote, and in the past few decades, there has been a showman.

Everyone has never seen a few readers, and they think that after reading books, they will have to do nothing like Zhou Yaozu and Zhou Yaoming.

Anne smiled, "Of course you can! Not to mention those ancient celebrities, even the gentlemen of our academy, when they are usually idle, they will also serve the vegetable patch and raise some chickens and ducks." ”

"Farming is the top priority in the world, and even the saints of the capital will also be involved in farming. Farming is not lowly at all. ”

"Also, there is no conflict between reading and working, and when you are tired from reading, you can just do work, so that you can also move your body. You haven't taken the imperial examination, you don't know, the examination is also a personal work, and your body bones are too weak to hold it up at all. ”

Anne's words seemed to open up a whole new world for the villagers of Zhoujiaao.

Even Zhou Xiande and Zhou Xiancheng, who were tired enough, were a little surprised when they heard this: "Dad, is the exam really so tiring?"

Although Zhou Xiande participated in the hospital examination this year, he was only excited at that time and did not feel too tired.

Anne nodded, "Of course. The children's test is better, like the township test, which has to be taken for three days in a row. The room was so narrow that only one person could sit, but it was to stay in it all day......"

Anne gestured to the room in her impression, and then introduced it carefully.

"Oh my God, what a sin. ”

"No, sitting in such a place for a day must be tiring. ”

In the eyes of the villagers, the Gongyuan is definitely a sacred place. It was the first time in my life that I heard about something there, and everyone was very curious.

"Many people usually don't pay attention to their bodies, and they can't bear the pressure of the exam, and they faint in the middle of the exam,"

Anne continued, "Every year, there are a lot of candidates who are brought out of the examination room, and they can't even finish the exam, let alone pass it. ”

"However, many students from farming families can persevere to the end because they usually do farm work and their health is good. ”

"So, do you think you should do farm work when you study?"
