The group walked up the steps, and arrived at Qianyuan Academy in about a stick of incense.

"Shuangxi, take my name card and go in to inform me, just say that Tang Chu of the Tang clan had an appointment with Mr. Qiu yesterday." Tang Chu said.

Shuangxi was ordered to go to the gate of the courtyard to talk to the little guy guarding the door.

The little guy quickly entered the courtyard, and as the courtyard door opened, the little guy came over and said to Tang Chu respectfully, "Miss Tang, our husband is entertaining guests now, please go to the study and wait first." ”

Tang Chu replied with a smile, "Okay, let's go." ”

Originally, today was to take Zou Shichu to enroll, and after a while, Mr. Qiu would personally assess Chu'er, and she was also connected to the other party after leaving other people's relationships, if Chu'er didn't come to Qianyuan Academy, he would naturally get fame, but that would only delay him, so why not seize it now that he has a rare opportunity?

After about a cup of tea, Mr. Qiu was late.

He was probably in his forties, with a beard, a white face, and an elegant appearance.

Tang Chu bowed down, Mr. Qiu hugged his fists in return, and Zou Shichu also saluted Mr. in a decent manner.

"Sir, Tang Chu Jiuyang, I came here for the enrollment of one of my younger brothers." Tang Chu said with a smile, as if he regarded Zou Shichu as his own child.

"Miss Tang is famous, and she is also thunderous." Mr. Qiu said with a smile, meaning something.

Tang Chu knew what the outside world had become, but she didn't know what this Mr. Qiu was listening to, but she didn't care, she was frank, if this Mr. Qiu was stubborn and listened to rumors, then he was not worthy of being Zou Shichu's teacher.

Mr. Qiu is old, he used to be wandering around, and he used to be a county magistrate for a period of time after being admitted to the Jinshi, but the darkness of officialdom and the pursuit of fame and fortune disgusted him, so he resigned from traveling in the mountains and rivers, and only settled in Suizhou, a remote and peaceful small county town, and opened this academy, which is not considered to have fallen into the name of his own scholar.

He looked at Tang Chu in front of him, the beauty of the woman in the flower season was vividly reflected in her, but there was ambition and conquest hidden between the eyebrows, which could not be seen in the eyes of ordinary boudoir women.

Mr. Qiu's eyes were immediately attracted by the little Zou Shichu beside Tang Chu.

He knew very well that this was the child who came to take the exam today, and in recent years, with the growing fame, more and more children wanted to come to Qianyuan Academy to study, but he was not compromised in front of power, nor was he able to impress with money.

Qianyuan Academy learns the six arts of the gentleman, and the imperial examination is also divided into different stages, and their age is when they are admitted to the children's students, and they are divided into three classes, A, B, C, and the main basis for the division of classes is personal aptitude and learning situation.

If the child who is sent does not even have the qualifications to enter class C, he will not accept it, otherwise it will increase the burden on the gentlemen.

Zou Shichu looks like he is about ten years old, and the children of rich and noble families have been enlightened early, and I don't know how he is.

"Come on, I'll evaluate you first, and if you pass, I'll assign classes according to your situation." Mr. Qiu said.

Zou Shichu nodded with a pair of big eyes, the fist in his hand was clenched, and he swallowed another mouthful of saliva, and his appearance of being ready to attack made Tang Chu couldn't help but laugh.

Mr. Qiu was very serious, and his voice was faint, "Have you read any books?" ”

Zou Shichu met him with a crisp gaze and replied, "I have studied the "Three Character Classic", "Hundred Family Names", "Thousand Character Text", and "Analects" and so on. ”

Mr. Qiu stroked his beard, and it was okay, similar to ordinary children, but he didn't know how to comprehend.

"Memorize the thousand-word text!"

"Heaven and earth are yellow, and the universe is desolate ......"

"What is known for knowing, and not knowing for not knowing?"

"The meaning of this phrase is ......"

One old and one young, one question and one answer, Mr. Qiu's eyes became brighter and brighter, Zou Shichu was still a little nervous at first, and fine sweat appeared on his nose, but later, Mr. Qiu asked him about the content of his own meeting, and he began to talk eloquently, and added some of his own opinions.

"Okay, you have a very good master, you have a good enlightenment at home before, I don't know which gentleman? Where are you now? "Mr. Qiu is overjoyed, he wants to dig that gentleman over and enter his academy.

Listening to this child's speech, he is generous, and his views on the classics and history are unique and very novel, and he must be a person who thinks he has both ability and political integrity.

Who knows, Zou Shichu lowered his head, bit his lip and said, "No sir, it's my brother!" ”

Mr. Qiu frowned, "Does your brother have a reputation now?" ”

"Nope." Zou Shichu shook his head, his eyes were full of missing Zou Shiyan.

Tang Chu saw that Mr. Qiu was going to continue to ask, and she hurriedly said, "Mr. Qiu, has this child passed the assessment?" ”

Mr. Qiu nodded, "Yes, at a young age, he is not stage frightened, he has a calm temperament and does not jump out, very good." ”

Tang Chu and Shuangxi glanced at each other and knew that this was done!

"Let's let him stay in Class B first, adapt to it for a while, and if he behaves well, he will be admitted to Class A." Mr. Qiu set the path of Zou Shichu in the next few years in a few words, but the people in the room were very happy, this was a rare opportunity, Mr. Qiu was born as a jinshi, and he could get his teachings, but ordinary people could not get the opportunity.

"There is a dormitory in the courtyard, one room for two people, and all our students live here, which is convenient for discipline." Mr. Qiu continued.

"We also know this situation, since we have come to Qianyuan Academy, we should abide by the rules of the academy." Tang Chu said, then squatted down and looked at Shi Chu.

"I came out in a hurry today, I didn't bring your own clothes, fortunately, your sister Shuangxi has prepared a lot before, you can rest assured to stay here, study hard with the gentlemen, and when your brother comes back in a few days, we will pick you up again."

Zou Shichu was quiet, although he was extremely eager to study in the academy, but when he thought that his brother was not around, and Sister Tang was going to leave him, he was not familiar with life in the academy, and he didn't know anyone, so he had no reason to be wronged, his eyes were red, and tears slowly burst into tears.

"Good!" Tang Chu touched Zou Shichu's little head and comforted gently.

Zou Shichu held back in the end and didn't let the tears stay.

Mr. Qiu glanced at the child in surprise, only thinking that he might not be a thing in the pool, and it was an extremely rare thing to know how to control himself at a young age.

In the past, there were students who came to study, poor families, rich and noble families, but it is rare to be so sensible as Zou Shichu, because of the prevalence of patriarchy in the imperial examination, many parents regard their talented and intelligent children as the guarantee for their family to turn over, basically they are spoiled to grow up, and it is rare to be able not to cry or make trouble.

Mr. Qiu naturally had a lot of important things, and after a few simple explanations, he asked another assistant gentleman to take Tang Chu and them to the dormitory where the students lived.
