No. 226 Everywhere contradictions
"On family history and learning, you and I ask ourselves, our Wang family, Cai family and Cao family are also family learning, not your Cai Dao bad?" It was Cai Zhao who spoke, a child who had always behaved modestly, and finally showed his true colors.
"Cousin, do you think so in your heart?" Cai Dao didn't pay attention to Cai Zhao, but asked Wang Di, who was following him, this is his cousin, what can't he say to his face?
"Cousin, I'...... I also want to be a close disciple of Master Zeng. "Rather be the head of the chicken than the tail of the ox, this is the thinking of any normal person, and Wang Di is naturally not exempt from vulgarity.
heir, he still has Wang Tong's biological son above, so this cousin's identity in the Wang family is still a little embarrassing, at the beginning, if he was succeeded to Wang Yan's name, it would not be so embarrassing now. I really don't know what his grandfather and second uncle think.
Now that he already has his own children, why should such a young child be burdened with such helpless and heavy shackles?
At the beginning, when he knew Wang Di's identity, Cai Dao was quite sympathetic to this cousin, and for this reason, he also specially approached Zeng Gong to discuss this matter. After all, Zeng Gong and Wang Anshi have a very good relationship, and the two of them are fellow villagers, and they can be regarded as like-minded.
But Cai Dao obviously thought too much, after all, it was someone else's family matter, not anything else, how could Zeng Gong intervene? is Cai Dao's own, and he is not suitable to care about this matter, first, he is a junior, and second, his relationship with Wang Anshi is not so close, and he has never seen his face. How can a very awkward old man listen to a child?
"Master Zeng, since this is the case, these two children are not convinced, so how about letting these children compare with each other?" Cai Dao didn't care about the two children's accusations against him, but instead asked Zeng Gong's opinion.
"So, boys, come here!" Zeng Gong got up and took a book from his shelf, then beckoned a few children to come over, and then said: "This is Master Sima's new book "Zizhi Tongjian", and the old man will choose one of them to explain it. Then, when you take turns to read this article in half of the incense, whoever can write more silently, the old man will choose whoever is his closed disciple. However, after all, the old man is old and doesn't have so much energy, so he has to eliminate the last two, how? ”
"Obey the orders of Master Zeng!" Since he gave everyone a fair chance, Cai Zhao had nothing to say, but this kid had already nailed this matter with the label of a black-box operation, and he always felt that there was something in it that he couldn't see.
In fact, there is no need for such a competition, and the result is already doomed.
The two children who were eliminated were Cai Zhao and Wang Di, and after the results came out, the two children saluted Zeng Gong, and left Zeng Gong's study without saying a word and with a black face.
In addition to Cai Laoru, the other five students each chose five to seven children who were more satisfied with themselves, after all, they still had to focus on their own schoolwork, and the scientific examination in three years was their real goal. In Cai's Academy, it is nothing more than to make some hard-earned money here, and by the way, the cost of accommodation is also waived.
The only official teacher in the formal school is Cai Laoru, after the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, he has long looked down on his fame, if all the children who can be taught in the future can be admitted to the Jinshi, it can be regarded as a good story. Therefore, he selected a lot of disciples this time, and the boys alone chose ten people, and by the way, he also brought Cao Xiu'er a little.
Originally, Cao Xiuer was very proud that she was selected, but Hua Lanxi and Tian Xiuer did not have a gentleman to choose them. However, when she showed off to these two old enemies, they didn't take it seriously.
Tian Xiu'er even mocked: "Oops! Miss, let's talk about envy, Sister Hua and I are really envious, but that is also envy of Yuan Zhaodi, she is the only one among the girls who is a closed disciple of Master Zeng. As for Mr. Cai Laoru, his teaching level is indeed better than that of the other five gentlemen. But if you compare it with Childe, it's still far behind. However, we still want to congratulate you, hehe......" Halfway through the words, this ghost girl didn't say anything, and planned to leave with a smile and a smile pulling Hua Lanxi.
"Congratulations on what?" Cao Xiu'er listened to a few words, and her originally excited mood suddenly became extremely bad, and she also heard what the other party said, so she stepped forward and grabbed Tian Xiu'er's sleeve and pulled hard to prevent the two from leaving.
"Congratulations, don't you know? Congratulations on staying away from Childe, when you were studying with Mr. Cai, the two of us were listening to Childe's teachings! When Tian Xiu'er spoke, not to mention how excited she was.
This really came to Cao Xiu'er's pain point, if it weren't for the other female students next to her, maybe the two of them would really be able to fight.
"Is that so?" Cai Dao happened to pass by, and when he inquired about the three of them, they were actually arguing because of this matter, and they almost staged a full martial arts, and he was a little angry in his heart, so angry that it was not someone else, but Hua Lanxi.
Knowing that these two girls with similar names have a conflict, it is just that they can't be mediated, so why not pull them apart before the conflict between the two deepens? Hua Lanxi's ability to deal with things doesn't seem to have improved recently, but it has made Yuan Zhaodi's comparison worse and worse. At this time, Cai Dao couldn't help but think of the little daze who was still unconscious on the sickbed, if this child was awake, he would definitely be able to get along with these girls in harmony.
Little Misty is born with an affinity that can make everyone around her, whether boys and girls, as well as adults, like her. At this point, Cai Dao did not find a child like Xiao Mi who was born with a very affinity among the more than 7,000 children in the entire school.
To put it mildly, Cai Ban has a little bit of meaning, although he looks a little funny, but he mixes quite well among girls, and treats him as half a best friend. And although the boy is a little afraid of him, it is also because he has Cai Dao and Cai Bucket behind him to support him. has a good relationship with him, and there are still a lot of boys who can call him brothers.
For this, Cai Dao has no intention of stopping it, just let it be. Of course, although Cai Bucket is a little dull and sluggish, he does not have any friends or supporters. At the beginning, when he was in the nursery, he and Cao Hu got along very well, two children with thick nerves, and they were equally powerful, without much topic, but they had many common hobbies, such as exercising muscles, increasing strength, such as eating meat.
For Cai Bucket, Cai Dao has never restricted his diet to him, but this kid actually likes to eat Chinese cabbage very much. Cai Dao doesn't have to worry about his unbalanced diet. And Cao Hu has always had this problem, this child was born with a love of meat, and after getting along with Cai Bucket for a while, he finally changed his bad habit of being a picky eater under the influence of Cai Bucket. As for the meat he consumes every day, the Cao family naturally pays for it.
After Cao Hu left, Cai Dao was worried that Cai Bucket was too lonely, so he selected more than a dozen blacksmiths or blacksmith apprentices' sons and nephews from among the children.
Blacksmithing is a very strenuous job, and if they are trained from an early age, it will definitely help them when they grow up.
Cai Dao has already thought of a solution to the contradiction between the two girls - that is, let Cai Laoru accept the three girls as disciples at the same time. The few of them have been together for a long time, and they will naturally change their current tense state. Of course, in this, Hualanxi must make changes, and it cannot always maintain the posture of watching the fire from the other side.
……
After a month of rectification and tidying up, the school conceived by Cai Dao is basically preliminarily completed, and some of the facilities that should be perfected have also been improved.
Seven Confucian gentlemen, dozens of masters from all walks of life, their families, and more than 7,000 children have basically adapted to the many rules here, but they are well fed and warmly dressed, and they are busy and fulfilling.
