Chapter 13 What is the pride of heaven?

Of course, the monthly examination in ethnology does not require squatting like the imperial examination, and the invigilator is only Zhang You, who dozes off intentionally or unintentionally, so the students below are naturally very happy. The moment he saw the exam papers, Zhang Yue's face suddenly became a little strange, because the entire volume was the Analects, and the other three books and the Five Classics in the four books seemed to have been forgotten by the teacher.

And, if his memory isn't skewed, he's seen everything in it.

"What the hell is this?"

"It's the Analects......"

"Nonsense, I also know it's the Analects! Hey, Gu Xiaoqi, will you do this topic? ”

"There are too many questions, even if I finish answering my own one, I'm afraid you won't have time to copy it!"

"I don't care if you hand in a blank slate! Anyway, I'll give you the scroll, and I'll give you ten taels of silver!" ”

Zhang Yue didn't have time to pay attention to the noisy voices in the back, and he didn't have time to pay attention to the endless lamentations, but what he was most worried about at this time was that he couldn't write. But at this time, he couldn't care so much, and seeing that there was hope for what he thought was going to be in the soup again, how could he give up? So, he began to write hard after being dipped in thick ink, and gradually entered the state.

By the time the cloud board rang an hour later, nine out of ten students were earth-colored. The children of rich families are worried about the lessons they will learn from their parents after they go back, and the children of poor families are worried that they will not be able to receive the money and food subsidized in school next month - after all, there are not many private schools that can receive money and food without paying money for school in these years. So, Zhang Chao, who didn't come to class for several days, didn't come to take the monthly exam today, and Zhang Qi's brother was hated so much that he gritted his teeth.

Why can they avoid the monthly exam? The two of them are the main branch of the Zhang family!

After the exams were over, no matter how depressed they were, it didn't help, so when they heard that there was no need to go to class in the afternoon, a group of students suddenly scattered like birds and beasts. Zhang Yue saw that Lian Sheng Lianhu had packed up his things and was about to leave, but he was stopped by Gu Bin's mouth.

"I'm sorry, I ...... I can't help it...... I also handed in a blank paper today......"

Zhang Yue originally didn't have a good impression of this indifferent but awkward guy, but at this time, seeing Gu Bin's always cold face flushed, he suddenly felt that the little unhappiness could be completely ignored. Seeing that the cold-faced young man was about to go out with such a sentence and bowed his head, he suddenly stopped him.

"You helped others change money for the exam, and you handed in the blank papers, so you are not afraid to go back to your parents to blame?"

Gu Bin turned around sharply, and saw that Zhang Yue's face was not ridiculed, and his face softened a little. After a long silence, he said, word by word: "You have not tasted starvation, nor have you tasted the taste of borrowing money and rice from other people's families. Ten taels of silver is enough for my family to cover for a few months, and even if I am beaten and punished, it is worth it. Although Ling Zun can help my family for a while, it is impossible to help for a lifetime. ”

Zhang Yue sneered in his heart, seeing Gu Bin turn around and strode out of the door, and there was no one else in the house, he suddenly raised his voice and said: "Even if you think of yourself as high-minded, thinking that people are not short of ambitions, and you rely on yourself for everything, but you should come to the clan study so that you can study in the future." Of course, you have made a profit by doing this now, but you have ruined your reputation, how can you go to the hospital to test the township test in the future? ”

As soon as these words came out, he saw Gu Bin standing outside the door all of a sudden. Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but shake his head, thinking that although this cold-faced young man had some talent for reading, he was very unfamiliar with dealing with people. There are impermeable walls in the world, as long as this matter leaks out, which academic and political government will pick such a talent in the future?

No matter what turmoil happened on this day, all in all, the monthly exam has finally come to an end. On this day, due to the preparation of the old lady Gu's 60th birthday, Zhang Zhuo specially went to the clan school to ask for half a month's leave for Zhang Yue, and naturally, he also asked Zhang Chao and Zhang Qi for leave. Because Zhang You, the father of the two brothers, couldn't get out of Jiaozhi, he was the only one to do this.

The father and son rarely went home together, and when they walked on the road, Zhang Zuo asked about the progress of the apprenticeship. Zhang Yue originally planned to find an excuse to prevaricate or simply come to a white lie, but after thinking about it, he still told the truth honestly, and even said the strange exam paper today.

"Well, it all depends on chance."

Zhang Zuo sighed thoughtfully, patted his son on the shoulder, and did not dwell on the question again.

As the old lady Gu's 60th birthday approached day by day, Kaifeng City gradually became lively. After all, if you don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, even if you look at the face of the British prince in Nanjing, how can the local officials in Henan not give the old lady of the Zhang family a birthday greeting? If this flattery is good, and the old lady can bring a sentence or two to the British duke, then the opportunity will be great.

So, for more than ten days, Zhang Xin, Zhang Zhuo's two sons, plus the three daughters-in-law of Feng's Dongfang clan and Sun's family, were all busy with their feet on the ground, and Zhang Yue's grandchildren were also turned around, even Zhang Qing and Zhang Yi, the two granddaughters, were not spared. However, as the grandson of the eldest house, Zhang Zhen is very idle, and he only needs to accompany the Gu family to meet the guests, and countless red envelopes are all in his pocket. Zhang Chao opened his eyes and looked greedy, but he could only mumble behind his back, and at the same time felt lost.

In order to persuade these two cousins, who had suffered a major blow because they were neglected, Zhang Yue took a lot of pains, and finally appeased the two of them with the fact that Zhang Zhen would leave sooner or later.

He himself doesn't have a good impression of his cousin Zhang Zhen, it stands to reason that the eldest child in the family is the most painful, but Zhang Zhen pretends to be clever and obedient in front of adults, and in front of their peers, his eyes are on the top of his head, so he even got a nickname between their brothers and sisters.

At this moment, Zhang Yue was trying on new clothes specially made for his grandmother's birthday tomorrow, who knew that he had just taken off his old clothes outside, Zhang Chao ran in in a hurry, and hooked his neck regardless of it.

"Third brother, do you know that it is said that Chaotianyan will apprentice on his birthday tomorrow, or is it a favor from the uncle's father!"

Zhang Yue couldn't help but feel inexplicable when he heard this, and couldn't help but roll his eyes and say, "What does this have to do with us?" ”

"Do you really not know or do you not know? If it weren't for the fact that the eldest aunt often praised that sky-facing eye in front of her grandmother, how smart the prodigy was, how would my grandmother be so cold to us these days? Don't forget, the eldest uncle said that day that you don't know how to learn! I thought my uncle was a good man, and I dared to love him for being as yin as my mother said......"

"Ahem!" Zhang Yue coughed vigorously, and finally didn't let Zhang Chao tell the word "insidious" in front of Qiu Zhen. Seeing that Qiu Zhen was the only one in the room, he had to lower his voice and ask, "Even if he wants to apprentice, but this is arranged by the eldest uncle, what can you do?" ”

"Isn't he just able to make a few crooked poems? Have you forgotten that there is also a prodigy Gu Xiaoqi in school? Don't worry, this matter is on me, I just want to tell you, you just wait to watch the show when the time comes! ”

Zhang Yue was about to be reminded, but when he saw Zhang Chao running away without a trace, he could only shake his head angrily. Prodigies are also graded, the prodigies in the families of high-ranking officials and dignitaries are naturally golden, and the prodigies of poor families have to rely on chance to get ahead. Move out of Gu Bin to fight Zhang Zhen in the ring? Zhang Chao can figure it out!

What is the pride of the sky? First of all, the family has both wealth and power, and he has to be a baby bump held in the hands of his elders, which is the pride of the sky!
