Chapter 120: The Academy

Cheng Xingmeng was a newly admitted Xiucai in the city five years ago, and when he was admitted to Xiucai, he was not yet thirty years old, so he could be regarded as a young talent.

The imperial examination costs money, especially for people from ordinary families like Cheng Xingmeng, the congenital conditions are already a lot worse.

The Cheng family, in order to provide for Cheng Xingmeng to be admitted to Xiucai, has been living a tight life.

Including several younger brothers and sisters behind Cheng Xingmeng, they all delayed their marriage because of this.

Fortunately, Cheng Xingmeng is also angry, knowing that he is a talent in the examination, which is the greatest comfort to his family.

And in order to be admitted to Xiucai, he studied hard wholeheartedly, basically did not interfere in housework, so conscientious, and worked hard day and night for several years before he was finally admitted to Xiucaigong.

Later, Cheng Xingmeng spent some money to rent a small courtyard next door to his house, used his knowledge to set up a small school, and personally recruited and taught children around the neighborhood.

The name of Xiucai Gong is easy to use there, even if Cheng Xingmeng receives a lot of restraints, he can't stand up to those children who rush to his name and repeatedly want him to ask for advice.

With the name of Xiucai Gong, Cheng Xingmeng not only got the reward from the county government, but also had the privilege of not having to pay more taxes.

The family gradually had surplus money, and the younger brothers and sisters behind Cheng Xingmeng who were delayed also used the name of Cheng Xingmeng Xiucai to marry one after another.

Li carried the pastries and dried fruits he bought, followed Zhao Jinyan, and the two walked into the house one after the other.

As he walked around, Li turned his head to look at his daughter, whose momentum had changed drastically, and he was sad but also full of happiness.

The small courtyard has been changed and repaired, repaired and repaired, and it is full of children inside and outside, relying on such a school, the life of Cheng Xingmeng's family can be regarded as truly better and richer.

……………

Zhao Yinyan has been living comfortably when she married into the city, and she got her two sons directly when she entered the door, and her mother-in-law was not strong, so Zhao Yinyan's eyebrows were clear and clean, and her face was comfortable to look at.

Zhao Jinyan is different, she had a better life when she first got married, after all, the reason why the Cheng family fell in love with Zhao Jinyan was because Zhao Jinyan's face was a first-class wangfu who was easy to give birth to.

Fortunately, this son-in-law is quite reliable, and he was finally admitted to the rare showman, otherwise, her daughter would have suffered a big loss.

Obviously, he and his second daughter Zhao Yinyan married into the city, but just a few years ago, the faces of the two were very different.

Later, Cheng Xingmeng woke up and deliberately protected him, plus Zhao Jinyan was angry, and gave birth to a son directly five years ago.

"Jin Yan, where are the children at home?"

Later, the world was unpredictable, after Zhao Jinyan entered the door, Cheng Xingmeng failed to pass the imperial examination many times, and the pressure on his family increased a lot in vain.

Then Cheng Xingmeng was bent on the imperial examination, and had to ignore Zhao Jinyan, plus Zhao Jinyan gave birth to two daughters in a row after entering the door, and there was no son by her side, but she was secretly troubled by her mother-in-law for a while.

"Mother, what do you think about what I just said to you?" As soon as the style of painting changed, Zhao Jinyan turned to the previous question.

When Li Shi heard this, his face hesitated, "In this matter, I always have to ask your fourth brother about his plans, and I can't do this." ”

Li was led directly into the house, but he didn't see Zhao Jinyan's three children in the house, so he couldn't help but ask.

Zhao Jinyan waved her hand calmly, "The two daughters were taken to the school next door by Xingmeng, and the sons were taken out by their mother-in-law to visit relatives,"

"Mother, look at what you said," Zhao Jinyan didn't expect Li to mention this, but when the words came to his mouth, he was stuck for a while, opened his mouth, and finally only said dry words such as "I will not treat the fourth brother badly".

"Eldest sister, I'm afraid your idea is not to let the fourth brother come over to study, but to let the fourth brother come over and take over the responsibility of the brother-in-law and teach those children to read."

"Mother," Zhao Jinyan glanced at her, quite dissatisfied with Li's hesitation, "I am also thinking about the fourth brother, right now, the old master Wei's side, it will definitely not be done, and the words of other schools are very high, if so, it is better to let the fourth brother come to us, Xingmeng is also a brother-in-law, how is it, I will also take care of the fourth brother." ”

"That's right," Li was still suspicious of Zhao Jinyan letting Zhao Shanxing come to their academy to study, "Xing Meng doesn't have to take next year's township exam, if he passes, he will have to prepare for the later exam, even so, where will he have time to teach the junior four." ”

This is also inevitable, when Zhao Jinyan got married, he was still a child, and there was no deep friendship between his sister and brother.

Zhao Jinyan......

The Li family is afraid of his daughter's face and is not easy to speak, but Zhao Shanyu doesn't care.

After hiding aside and listening to the meaning of Zhao Jinyan's words, Zhao Shanyu pointed out Zhao Jinyan's thoughts directly with an unswerving face.

Li's face was complicated, she looked at her eldest daughter, and her expression was inevitably a little disappointed, "Jin Yan, what do you want to do, to put it bluntly, what are you going to do in a roundabout way," isn't this deliberately rubbing her heart?

The words were spread out, and Zhao Jinyan simply didn't care about covering it up, and broke the jar and said all her careful thoughts.

Lee's ......

Zhao Shanyu's words directly made the Li family stunned on the spot, and Zhao Jinyan on the side also turned red, obviously, her thoughts were right.

"This is also the reason why Xingmeng has been too busy recently," Zhao Jinyan cried and explained everything that happened in the city to the Li family during this time, "It's all my mother-in-law, in order to restrain her, regardless of Xingmeng's township exam next year, to recruit those children who came out of Old Master Wei,"

"It's been a few days, Xingmeng has been busy eating and sleeping well, so I thought of the fourth brother, if the fourth brother can come over, he can also help us."

"Mother, we can't do it, and what I just said is true,"

"Old Master Wei's school is indeed about to be disbanded,"

Right now, if Zhao Shanxing can come over, the two of them will not look up and see each other, and Cheng Xingmeng will naturally have the opportunity to guide Zhao Shanxing in a few words.

"Mother, I'm Xiaosi's own sister, and I can't even pit my own brother," Zhao Jinyan grabbed Li's wrist with one hand and shook it back and forth.

Speaking of this, Zhao Jinyanhai was afraid that the Li family and Zhao Shanyu would not believe it, so he deliberately explained, "I am right, Xingmeng, I can indeed guide the fourth brother, the fourth brother will also participate in the imperial examination next year, and it is not an opportunity now." ”

On weekdays, Cheng Xingmeng either teaches children or is busy reading books, and he has no chance to communicate with Zhao Shanxing.

After all, what Zhao Jinyan said is right, Zhao Shanxing is indeed going to participate in the imperial examination next year, and now that the Wei Old Master School is disbanded, Zhao Shanxing only reads books at home, and he can't catch it.

If Zhao Shanxing comes here, he will get along with Cheng Xingmeng day and night......

Li Shi looked at Zhao Jinyan and pondered what the other party had just said.

To put it simply, the Li family is indeed a little moved.

"Well, mother, in addition to the fourth brother, there is also Mingwei from the eldest brother's family, let's also send it together, they are all relatives, it is better to study in the school than to study by yourself at home."

"So, where is your mother-in-law?" After all, Zhao Mingwei is still young, and he has a lot to worry about, and the Li family is worried that it will be difficult for Zhao Jinyan to do it.

"I'll definitely talk to Xiao Si about this when I go back," Li didn't agree immediately, which made Zhao Jinyan a little disappointed.

However, Zhao Jinyan also knew that this matter was not for her mother to decide, and in the end, it was Zhao Shanxing's attitude.

Li also understood that this was also a school run by Xiucai, which was better than those schools outside that had no reputation.

"By the way, Jin Yan, the school run by Old Master Wei is going to be disbanded, how do you know?"

"It's okay," Zhao Jinyan pouted, "My mother-in-law is there, but there are a lot of children from their Cheng family, and there are only a few of them in our family, so it's okay." ”

Li nodded, "That's fine." ”

Because of the old master Wei, it can be regarded as Cheng Xingmeng's teacher, before Cheng Xingmeng was admitted to Xiucai, he had been studying and practicing calligraphy in the old master Wei's school, and later because of the old master Wei's attention to the young children with better talents, Cheng Xingmeng could not get good guidance, and in desperation, Cheng Xingmeng returned home to study hard by himself.

But the relationship between the two sides is good, and during the New Year's holidays, Cheng Xingmeng will also specially bring things to visit.

Zhao Jinyan patted her head and hurriedly explained to Li.

It turned out that this news was revealed by Old Master Wei himself.

Old Master Wei came over and said in person that he wanted to find a good place for the young children in the school.

And Old Master Wei has a special personality, and the only one who can talk to him is Cheng Xingmeng.

Just by mistake, Cheng Xingmeng knew about the school, and Zhao Jinyan also knew, so there was a conversation between the three of them today.
