Chapter 41: Appreciation

Xia Jizu's family stayed at the Baiyun Inn with peace of mind, where the rooms were sufficient, and one room was also spared. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The next day, Xia Shouli and Xia Shouzhi drove back with an ox cart, leaving Xia Jizu alone to watch. While there are still a few days before the exam, Xia Jizu can also teach his grandchildren some exam experience.

What Xia Yuanding didn't expect was that as soon as his father and the third uncle left, they were already ready to accept the indiscriminate bombardment of their grandfather, who knew that the old Mr. Wang of the Wang family was enthusiastic and took the initiative to ask Ying to teach something, and Xia Jizu readily agreed.

I'm afraid this is not a temporary idea, Xia Yuanding guessed that they may have discussed it a long time ago, and they only had to passively accept the ending.

But it's nothing.,It's not all the same.,He's memorized the books that should be examined.,It's almost the same thing that should be explained.,It stands to reason that the county exam should be nine out of ten.,If you don't take the test well, it's purely a psychological factor.。

And cousin Yuanzhi, although he passed the government exam last year, he fell behind in the hospital exam. Xia Yuanding also learned from his grandfather that as long as he passed the government examination and took the exam in the future, he did not have to take the county exam from scratch.

Therefore, he did not see Yuanzhi's cousin this year, and he was still studying at a college near the county seat. Although a family like theirs can afford a student's expenses to study in the academy, it is obvious that Xia Jizu is unwilling to spend like this, because he is confident, confident that the students he teaches are no worse than those taught in the academy.

Xia Yuanzhi was able to study in the college, and he still got a chance, saying that he was once discovered by the teaching Mr. Xi of the college, and felt that he was clever and intelligent, and he was a piece of jade, and he couldn't bear to bury him in the countryside, so he asked him if he was willing to study in the college, and Xia Yuanzhi naturally agreed.

The problem is here, he originally followed his grandfather to study, but without his grandfather's consent, he privately worshipped others as teachers, which is very inappropriate, so the old man was very angry and said some angry words, but he couldn't stop this behavior, you said aggrieved or not!

In Wang Maohong's study, there are five people at this time, and there is a little girl Wang Jinxuan, although she can't take the exam, but she is also a scholar, and the old man Wang is fine on weekdays, so he teaches his granddaughter to read and write, which is also quite effective.

At this time, the three people sitting at the bottom, Xia Yuanding, Xia Yuanjie, and Wang Jinxuan, one of them was holding a brush, and the desk was covered with white paper, and they were about to write.

Looking at the furnishings of this study, you can know that Wang Maohong is an elegant person, and the collection of books on the bookshelf is much richer than that of Xia Jizu's family. The collection of books can best see the background of a scholarly family, which is no wonder that Yuan Zhi's cousin entered the academy to study, and many surviving universities asked the latest works, they don't have them, but the academy has, how can this be compared with others!

Besides, the few landscape paintings hanging on the wall, with Xia Yuanding's appreciation level, he can't appreciate them, so he won't mention them. Anyway, he saw that the location of this study was very good, and the windows were bright and clean, which was very suitable for reading.

Inadvertently, he knew that Mr. Wang could paint, and he didn't dare to say whether he was good or not, but "Qinqi, Calligraphy and Painting", as the four basic skills of a reader, would not be too bad if he thought about it.

As soon as he thought of this, Xia Yuanding couldn't figure it out, why did his grandfather say that he wouldn't, whether he really wouldn't, or he still refused to teach, this has to be questioned, but there is indeed a lyre hanging on the wall of his grandfather's study, which can't deceive people.

After a year of hard practice, Xia Yuanding's handwriting can be said to be the best among the three, and after writing it, he showed it to Xia Jizu and Wang Maohong.

"Brother Fengxian, I didn't expect that Yuan Ding's words already have muscles and bones, and in time they will become a family!"

Pick up the words written by Xia Yuanding, Wang Maohong is reluctant to put down, you can see a person's character from the words, Xia Yuanding practiced calligraphy, has been pursuing the goal of "Yan muscles and willow bones", although he also knows that it is very far away to reach the height of the sages, but he has been working hard.

It is said that "when you hear the Tao, you can die at night", no goal is sad, there is a goal. Even if it doesn't reach it in the end, the process is happy.

"Since teaching him, he has been studying hard every day, and it is not easy to have this achievement, I am satisfied with Yuan Ding!" Xia Jizu agreed.

Wang Maohong looked at it again, nodded again and again, and then reluctantly put down what Xia Yuanding wrote, and took Xia Yuanjie's hand from Xia Jizu and looked at it.

At this time, Xia Yuanding and Xia Yuanjie were fine, but Wang Jinxuan was nervous, her two little hands unconsciously clasped together, and her eyes were staring at the white paper in her grandfather's hand.

After commenting a few words, Wang Maohong put down the piece of paper written by Yuan Jie, but did not take the one written by Wang Jinxuan.

This scene fell in Wang Jinxuan's eyes, and her loss disappeared in a flash, thinking that her grandfather didn't care about her anymore!

"Brother Fengxian, the words of the virtuous granddaughter, please comment on it!" Wang Maohong said with some amusement.

"That's right, I'll also see if the granddaughter you taught me can satisfy me!" Xia Jizu didn't refuse, and picked up the piece of paper written by Jinxuan with a smile.

"Well, Qing Lijuanxiu, it seems that she has worked hard!" Just praised a few words, Xia Jizu was already very satisfied.

"It's not easy to get a compliment from you, I said in the early years that my handwriting is better than yours, and you are still not convinced!" Wang Maohong said.

"Brother Maohong, I'm praising Jinxuan, don't be complacent, my words were praised by the grandmaster back then!" Xia Jizu said leisurely.

"Yes, yes, the grandmaster praised it, Brother Feng Xian really had a heart at that time!" Wang Maohong said teasingly.

"Hmph, you have the ability to write a picture at that time, and I didn't stop you!" For this matter, Xia Jizu was a little proud.

This scene, watching the three people below was at a loss, how to teach it well, and suddenly began to fight.

Fortunately, this was only a brief episode, and they still didn't forget the business and began to teach seriously.

That's how the time of learning passes, occasionally there is some fun, but it is far from getting rid of boredom.

When he was free, Xia Yuanding didn't go to run around, he just rested in the guest room, and the hustle and bustle on the street couldn't disturb him.

It's just that when she was napping this day, Wang Jinxuan broke in with a little yellow dog, which is not just a forced behavior, but when this little yellow dog appeared, I have never seen it before.

"I said why do you hide in the guest room at noon every day, it turns out that you are lazy to sleep, how can you go to the county to try it like this?"

Wang Jinxuan didn't feel embarrassed at all about breaking into the guest room, for her, everything here was hers. She didn't dare to go to the guest room, but this was asked by her grandfather, and she deliberately led a little yellow dog to follow.

Xia Yuanding wanted to ask, is it appropriate to come over with a dog!

"That, Sister Jinxuan, what's the matter with you, if not, I still have to take a lunch break, do you know, men and women don't kiss, if it's okay, it's better not to be like this!"

Speaking of this, Jinxuan blushed slightly, she had heard some things about the defense of men and women, but she was a child who had no mother's education, and she was always not so clear.

"Grandpa asked me to ask you, they are going to go to the lake in the afternoon, ask if you are going?" Jinxuan didn't want to stay longer, so she quickly asked.

As soon as he heard about swimming in the lake, Xia Yuanding wanted to go, but he thought that he was a landlubber, in case he fell into the river, it would be bad, it was spring, and the river must be very cold, right.

"Don't go!" His answer was short and forceful.

"Foday, let's go!" With the answer, Wang Jinxuan called the little yellow dog to turn around and leave.

"Wang Wang...... "In the end, Xia Yuanding heard such a return.

Back at her grandfather's place, Wang Jinxuan said: "Grandpa, Brother Yuanding said that he doesn't want to go!" ”

"Okay, grandpa knows, you go!" Wang Maohong didn't expect to get such an answer, and was a little surprised, didn't he say that Yuanding was so fresh, why didn't he want to go to the lake.

Xia Yuanding shouldn't have been brought with him on this tour of the lake, he was busy taking the county exam, so he couldn't be distracted by other things, but there were often literati gathering there, so he wanted to take him to open his eyes, but he didn't expect his kindness to be rejected.

In this regard, Wang Maohong is not to blame, he always makes a temporary decision, if he doesn't go, he won't go, and there will be fewer incidents.

There are some discrepancies between the time setting of the exam in this book and the real history, which is for the needs of the plot.
