Chapter 276: Entrance Exam

Xiaoding went to Xiangmanlou to deliver vegetables, originally imagined that it would be best to meet Han Luer, the youngest daughter of the shopkeeper of Xiangmanlou, I haven't seen this beauty for a long time, I don't know how she is doing now. As a result, Xiao Ding did not meet a beautiful woman, but met the person he least wanted to see, Hu Xianling.

was dragged to Xiangmanlou by Hu Xianling, ordered a table of good wine and food, and then ate and drank. While drinking, Hu County Ling also asked Xiao Ding about his process of joining the army and the process of entering Beijing to receive rewards.

After hearing that Xiao Ding personally refused the emperor's official title, Hu Xianling slapped the table and shouted regret, as if he had missed the opportunity to become an official.

Xiao Ding slandered on the side, and said in his heart, I don't want to be an official, what do you have to regret?

However, then Xiao Ding quickly figured out that Hu County Order was different from himself, he was bent on making a name for himself in the officialdom, and now a small Qipin County Order could not satisfy him. If he is made a high-ranking official by the emperor, Hu Xianling can use the relationship between himself and him to go through the back door and take the throne, as long as he helps him say a few good words in front of the emperor, then his opportunity to be promoted and make a fortune will come.

Therefore, Xiao Ding knew the real purpose of Hu County's regret, but in fact, he regretted that he had lost an opportunity to rely on Xiao Ding to take the position.

He drank with Hu Xianling until the afternoon, and then the banquet was dispersed. Hu Xianling told his buddy Wang Er that the meal was credited to his account, and Xiao Ding didn't know how much wine money Hu Xianling owed in that account, and he didn't know if Hu Xianling would repay those wine debts in the end.

Leaving Xiangmanlou, Xiao Ding said goodbye to Hu Xianling, and also said goodbye to Wang Er, Xiangmanlou's buddy, and then it was still Zhao Hu who drove and pulled Xiao Ding towards the street.

When passing by the Ink Shop, Xiao Ding asked Zhao Hu to stop the car, and then went to the Ink Studio to buy a lot of enlightenment books of this era, as well as the four treasures of the study such as pen, ink, paper, and inkstone. Buying these things almost wiped out all the money from selling vegetables today, a total of twenty or thirty taels of silver. He is going to buy these and go back so that the children in the family will start to study with Zheng Dieer from now on.

At this time, Xiao Ding finally understood why in this era, children from poor families could not afford to read. Just buying some books and utensils costs an ordinary person's income for a year or two, as an ordinary rural farmer, where can he have the money to let his children study!

When Zhao Hu drove the carriage and pulled Xiao Ding back to Luoxia Village, it was already more than half of the afternoon. When the children in the family saw the books and pen, ink, paper and inkstone that Xiaoding had bought, they were all happy. Quarrel and quarrel to share a portion. Xiao Ding instructed them to go to Zheng Die'er's sister's room from tomorrow and ask her to teach you to read and write.

The people notified by Xiaoding include Xiaoya, Xiao'e, Erniu, Xiaozhu'er, Xiaofu, Ou Mulin, and Jiang's son Tiedan.

When Jiang saw Xiao Ding let his son go to read and read with the young masters of the master's family, he was so excited that tears flowed out. When he came to Xiao Ding, he was about to kneel down for Xiao Ding, Xiao Ding hurriedly stopped her, and explained to her that there was no need for this in the future, she was just a long-term worker hired by the Tian family, and she should not treat herself as a subordinate.

When Tian Dabao heard that Xiao Ding was going to let Zheng Die'er teach the children in his family to read and write, he frowned, and then said to Xiao Ding: "It's just a girl, as for Xiao Fu, do you want to send him to a private school?" Now our family is not short of this bit of money, send it to a private school, maybe you can get a reputation or something in the future if you learn it well. ”

As soon as Xiao Ding heard Tian Dabao's words, he understood what he meant, and it seemed that he still had a lot of hopes for his youngest son. Although he was discussing with Xiao Ding on the surface, he had already made up his mind in his heart and planned to send Xiao Fu to a private school.

"Okay, then I'll contact the private school tomorrow, and then send Xiaofu to the private school to study." Xiao Ding said. Now that Tian Dabao already has a plan, Xiao Ding also obeys Tian Dabao's wishes, after all, sending it to a private school will be more formal, and it will be beneficial to Xiaofuhou's development.

The reason why Xiao Ding didn't plan to send Xiaofu to a private school at the beginning was because he hated those nerds in this era, and he was afraid that after Xiaofu went to a private school, he would also learn to be a poor and sour nerd who could only do things all day long, which would harm Xiaofu in his life.

However, if you want to send Xiaofu to a private school to study, you still need to choose a better private school. This is the same as choosing a good school for sending children to school in later generations.

Xiao Ding thought about it and thought that it might be better to send it to Zixia Academy in the county. Although there is also a private school in the town, Xiao Ding finally can't believe it, and he heard before that after he crossed over to the Tian family, Wang Xuexue, the husband of the aunt Song Dahua on the other side of the old house, was teaching in the private school in the town. And I heard that Tian Dabao's youngest brother Tian Sibao went to school in a private school in the town, and later became a gangster in the town.

Therefore, Xiao Ding thinks that the private school in the county should be more reliable, after all, I heard that Zixia Academy is also one of the best schools in Luoxia County, and it is better than the town.

So Xiao Ding said to Tian Dabao: "Then take Xiaofu directly when you sell vegetables tomorrow, and then send it to Zixia Academy in the county to go to school." ”

Tian Dabao nodded and agreed, he had also heard that the Zixia Academy in the county was more famous.

After breakfast the next day, Xiao Ding once again took the initiative to go to the county seat to sell vegetables, and at the same time brought Xiaofu with him.

It was still Zhao Hu who was catching the car, and Xiao Ding and Xiao Fu were sitting in the carriage together.

All the way to Luoxia County, first went to Xiangmanlou to deliver vegetables, and then Zhao Hu took the two to Zixia Academy in the west of the city.

The original name of Zixia Academy was called Luoxia Academy, but later the dean felt that it was too vulgar to call Luoxia, so he changed it to Zixia, which had a similar meaning.

Zixia Academy is built on a small hill in the west of the city, and there is a viewing platform on the top of the mountain, usually, the literati in Luoxia County like to go to the viewing platform to see the fall, and then write a few poems and songs, and praise each other, this behavior gradually formed a kind of atmosphere in the literati circle in the county, and the literati are proud of it. If you haven't been to the viewing platform of Zixia Academy to see the whereabouts and haven't written an article on this, you will be looked down upon by other literati.

Zhao Hu drove Xiao Ding and Xiao Fu and soon came to the vicinity of Zixia Academy.

At the foot of the hill, Xiao Ding asked Zhao Hu to wait at the bottom of the mountain, and then, he took Xiao Fu up the mountain together.

After arriving at the top of the mountain, Xiao Ding explained his intention to the gatekeeper, and the gatekeeper reported inside, and after a while, someone led Xiao Ding and Xiao Fu to a hall in the courtyard.

There was a white-bearded old Confucian sitting on the main seat in the hall, and when he saw Xiao Ding and the others entering, he asked, "Are you going to send this child to school?" ”

Xiao Ding nodded and replied, "Yes!" ”

The old Confucian looked at Xiao Ding and Xiao Fu, and then said, "It's okay to go to school, but you have to pass the entrance exam first!" ”

And exams? Xiao Ding thought secretly, and said in his heart, I don't know what questions this old gentleman will have, and I don't know if Xiaofu can pass this entrance exam?
