Chapter 376: Apprenticeship

Wang Mengyan looked at them very envious of their deep sister-brother affection, her mother's family has only one brother, the family is poor, and her brother can't get a dowry when he marries, so she told her to the Yu family, and after receiving the Yu family's dowry, her brother became a relative.

It's just that they became relatives, and their sister-in-law thinks that the family is poor, and she often quarrels with her brother to show her father's face.

If she is a capable person, it would be good if she could help her mother's family like this.

Yu Jiao held Fei Ge'er, Wang Mengyan held the little bellflower, and the four of them went out.

bought a candy man for Xiao Kikyo and Fei Ge'er on the street, Yu Jiao inquired about the Xia County School, and the four of them went to the east of the city.

"Are you going to send Fei Ge'er to the county school to study?" Wang Mengyan asked.

Yu Jiao nodded, although there are people like Zhang Fuzi in the county school, but there are also deans like Lin Shanchang, and the teachers are better than other places, she plans to send Fei Ge'er to the county school for enlightenment first, and wait for everyone with outstanding reputation to accept students in the future, and then choose a teacher for Fei Ge'er.

Wang Mengyan has never been to the county school, the kind of place where people are all scholars, it is very awe-inspiring to her, and it is also a long time to see it now.

The east of the city was not far away, and in about two quarters of an hour, they arrived at the gate of the county academy.

There are not many people coming to the county school at the moment, probably because of the fact that Caixiang has tried, and some students have never come to the college to study again.

There was an old man guarding the door, and when he saw that Yu Jiao and his party were all women and children, he raised his hand to stop them, "The academy is all men, and it is inconvenient for women to enter, you are here to find someone?" ”

Yu Jiao took Meng Fei's hand and said, "I brought my younger brother to study." ”

The old man looked at Meng Fei, saw that he was still young, and asked, "Do you have a familiar master?" ”

Yu Jiao shook her head, "No." ”

"Come with me." The old man led a few people into the academy, passed through the shadow wall, and went straight to the side courtyard on the left.

There are many towering trees in the courtyard, every scene and thing are particularly elegant, everywhere exudes the atmosphere of literati, and through the scenery wall, you can faintly hear the sound of Lang Lang's reading from the study.

Entering the side courtyard, the old man asked a few people to wait in the courtyard for a while, he entered the side hall, and after a while, an elegant-looking middle-aged man walked out with the old man.

"This is Master Zhong." The old man spoke up.

Yu Jiao saluted Master Zhong, "My surname is Meng, this is my younger brother Meng Fei, I am here to send my younger brother to study." ”

That Master Zhong looked at Meng Fei with gentle eyes and asked, "Have you ever been in school?" How many words do you recognize? ”

Yu Jiao put her hands on Meng Fei's shoulders and looked at him with encouraging eyes.

Meng Fei was nervous, and his voice was like a mosquito, "I have never been in school, but I can recognize five or six crosses." ”

Yu Jiao smiled at him, "The family taught him to read a thousand-character text, and Fei Ge'er can recite it throughout." ”

When Master Zhong heard this, he had a smile on his face, "Come back and listen." ”

"Don't be afraid, it's like carrying it to Sister at home, you can do it." Yu Jiao said softly.

Fei Ge'er pondered for a while, opened his mouth and retracted it, at first the voice was still a little small, but it was probably the feeling that he found later, and the whole person gradually let go, not only did the volume get louder, but it was smoother than when he recited it to Yu Jiao at home.

Fei Ge'er carried it to the end, and an old man walked in from the door with his hands behind his back, he glanced at Yu Jiao and the others, and said to Master Zhong nonchalantly, "This is here to study?" ”

Master Zhong replied and motioned for Fei Ge'er to continue reciting.

The old man plucked out his ears, "Is this a thousand-character text?" Yes, yes, I can memorize a thousand-word essay at such a young age. ”

Fei Ge'er, who was interrupted by his voice again, stumbled, and couldn't remember the content of the last two sentences.

Master Zhong woke him up, Fei Ge'er's eyes lit up, and then he backslied, "Lonely and unheard, ignorant and so on, the predicate helper, it's too much." ”

"Very good, it's not easy for you to memorize the entire thousand-word essay at your age." Master Zhong's eyes showed love.

Fei Ge'er smiled shyly.

The old man on the side asked out loud, "Master Zhong, I like this kid very much, you won't fight with me, right?" ”

"What does Master Zhang mean by this?" Master Zhong looked at the old man and said with a light and polite expression, "The students who have entered the academy, you and I have to teach, so why fight." ”

When Yu Jiao heard the title of Master Zhang, her pupils tightened slightly, and she looked at the old man.

"What Master Zhong said is that it's just that this child is very smart, and he went to your Ding Mao preschool initiation class, so he can't help but be buried, so it's more appropriate to join my Ding Yin class."

After the old god of Master Zhang finished speaking, without waiting for Master Zhong to speak, he seemed to have made up his mind to take Fei Ge'er into his pocket, and said directly to Yu Jiao, "Twenty taels of bundles for a year of study, four pots of drunken spring breeze for apprenticeship, ten taels of meat, and ten taels of silver." ”

After hearing this, Master Zhong frowned secretly on the side.

Some time ago, Zhang Fuzi made a mistake, I heard that because he tampered with the list of students without permission, he was demoted from the A-word class to the T-shaped enlightenment class by Lin Shanchang to teach.

Although he looked down on Mr. Zhang's behavior very much, he only worked together in the same academy, and Mr. Zhong couldn't say anything, and this Mr. Zhang was the same branch of the wealthy Zhang family in the city, and he made a mistake, and Lin Shanchang didn't dare to drive people out of the academy directly, which showed that it was not good to offend the Zhang family.
