When preparing for reading
The next day, the Xie family started planting late rice, and now their family has to work harder, because their family will have to provide for a scholar.
After a few days of busy work, the Xie family's farm work finally came to an end, and as soon as the farm work was finished, the Xie family couldn't help but hold a meeting.
"Dawei and I will go to the town tomorrow to ask if there is a good private school, so that Shi Shi can go to study as soon as possible, generally Shi is already enlightened at this age."
Xie Mancang said a little excitedly, there is going to be a reader in the family!
Early the next morning, Xie Mancang took Xie Yanqing and his father Xie Dawei to the town to inquire about private schools.
By noon, Xie Mancang and the others hadn't come back yet, and the entire Xie family was looking forward to it. Xie Yanqing was also a little apprehensive, after reading books for so many years, he understood that it was important to have a good teacher.
He hoped that the teachers Xie Mancang found for him would not be like those shown on modern TV, they were all old pedants who were stupid in reading.
After all, he should be considered to be more thoughtful, and he is afraid that his teacher will always prevent him from doing what he wants to do.
He thinks that if a farmer like him wants to be famous, he should do something unprecedented, otherwise you don't have a good education as those eunuchs and rich people, and you don't have any talent, how can you stand out among the many students?
The ancient exam didn't have the same high acceptance rate as the modern one, so you can't do it without a little fame.
The Xie family waited anxiously for a day, and finally in the evening, Xie Mancang and Xie Dawei came back, and as soon as they got home, they each drank a big bowl of water.
"Stone, I inquired, there are 5 Xiucai who still live in our town, namely He Jinxue, He Xiucai, Alan Tam, Tan Xiucai, Liu Jianxin, Liu Xiucai and Chen Haonan, Chen Xiucai, and Li Peilin, Li Xiucai."
Xie Mancang looked at the expectant and curious eyes of the whole family, and quickly continued.
"Among them, He Xiucai, Liu Xiucai and Li Xiucai are now teaching, but He Xiucai is in his 50s, and his energy is a little lacking, and he no longer plans to accept students."
Li Xiucai is just in his early 25s, and he is also a child of a peasant family, and he only opened a private school this year. I don't think he should spend too much time on students, after all, he still has to prepare for his own township exam. ”
Liu Xiucai is in his 40s, and he has lost the heart to take the exam again, and he has put all his heart on his private school, and there are quite a few students every year, but everyone has a good opinion of him. Every few years, he will teach a showman, and it is said that one of the students he taught a few years ago was also selected for lifting. ”
"I think it's the best choice for the stone to go to Liu Xiucai, what do you think? I'd like to hear your opinions, after all, this is a big deal in the family. ”
Xie Mancang basically finished what he had heard, and planned to sum it up with his family to see which school he should send the stone to.
"Dad, it's good if you think it's good, you have always been the pillar of the family, and the decisions you make are generally very correct, I don't have any opinions." Xie Daguang immediately spoke.
After all, it's the eldest brother's son who is studying, and he can't say anything, and besides, he also thinks his father's choice is very good.
"Dad's decision is very good, and it is better for Shi to go to Liu Xiucai." Then Xie Dawei and Xie Dayong both expressed their support for Xie Mancang's choice.
The Chen family and the Xiao Li family didn't understand much of this, and seeing that their men had already decided, they all followed and said that Xie Mancang's choice was very good.
So, our stone, Xie Yanqing, was decided in this way who he was the enlightenment teacher.
