Chapter 49: The Covenant at the End of the Year
If it was in the past, Cang Zijian would definitely have carefully argued with Fu Zhenyu that "satisfaction can lead to contentment, and contentment must be satisfied", but now, he took a long breath. Tell yourself that you can't echo your sister, but you can act as if you didn't hear this.
So, Cangzi stiffly pulled back to the topic: "Civilians think that reading is really useless, and it is not just a matter of money. Spending thirty or fifty taels, or one hundred taels, does not mean that you can gain fame. The scientific examination is a county, a county with 100,000 men, two children and three examinations in one period in three years, at most 50 people, and the show can be called one in a thousand. The township test and the meeting test are about one out of ten. To sum up, one hundred thousand jinshi into one, one person from one county, is to-"
The investment is large, but there is no return, Qian Wenju immediately understood, and answered: "Reading is useless." ”
Cangzi bowed his head and said, "Yes." They thought that their ancestral graves would not smoke, so they chose to give up. If the people are too self-aware, they are narrow-minded. ”
Fu Zhenyu has a different view, she said: "No, the deep-seated problem is that reading can only be a career is too bad. Let the reader work hard for ten years, spend a hundred taels of silver, and get an income of no less than this amount, which is the most critical place. For example, if the minimum requirement for the lieutenant chief is set as a showman, there will definitely be more people who read. ”
100 households are set up to be one mile long, and the mile length is rotated once a year. Although it can be re-elected, at least more than one talent is required. This is an idea, but Cang Zijian revealed the facts: "Li Chang's annual income is only five taels, and Xiucai receives more than these subsidies every year." Study hard just to be a lieutenant, I'm afraid no one wants to. ”
"On the other hand, if you study hard, you can be a lieutenant at worst, isn't that good?" After finishing Cang Zijian, Fu Zhenyu immediately made a bold assumption, "Besides, if we can carry out the education of the whole people, we need a large number of masters, and being a master is not a way out." ”
Cang Zijian heard it as a matter of course from her tone. Of course, this is also true, he just thinks that Fu Zhenyu, who said this, is a little strange. However, after being scolded twice by Fu Zhenyu, Cang Zijian finally learned to be obedient, no longer added his own speculation, and said truthfully: "The education of the whole people is the foundation, without this foundation, everything is empty talk." ”
In this regard, Fu Zhenyu said: "Then we will do our best to educate our children, let them go to the court, and start with the reform of the country." The significance of being a teacher is not to send children to the court, but to make them useful people for the country and family. ”
Cangzijian suddenly lit up, suppressed his excitement, and said in a dumb voice: "That's why you made a course like that?" ”
Liu Qing and Qian Wenju didn't know the curriculum formulated by Fu Zhenyu, and asked in unison: "What kind of course?" ”
Fu Zhenyu replied: "The course is mainly based on the imperial examination, followed by the people's livelihood, and followed by the six arts. Only by achieving results in the imperial examination can you enter the court, then you will focus on the imperial examination. The six arts are roughly divided into two categories, cultivating sentiment and fitness. I think fitness is more important, so I focused on that. In addition, I believe that the purpose of all learning is people's livelihood. And most of the current officials don't care about the people's livelihood, such as our prefect of Runing. ”
Hearing this, Cang Zijian had to remind: "Senior sister, be cautious." ”
Is that a casual discussion of the prefect? It's just talking, saying it's good. How could Fu Zhenyu not know? She pursed her lips and smiled, and said: "Although the prefect doesn't understand the people's livelihood, he attaches importance to education, which is more rare than those who understand the people's livelihood." ”
I have to say that such flattery that is first suppressed and then promoted, when heard in the ears, is more useful than direct praise, and more convincing than the "exaggeration" that conceals the insufficiency.
Liu Qing couldn't be more satisfied with Fu Zhenyu, and after laughing loudly, he said to Cang Zijian: "Zijian, learn how to talk to the girl more in the future." ”
"Yes." After being praised, Fu Zhenyu echoed with a smile and reminded Liu Qing, "Old Liu, in the next few years, please call the boy Lin Buquan." ”
"Who took such an ugly name? Senior sister, let's discuss, how about changing the name? According to the eldest brother, he named Cangzi, how about it? If you don't like Big Brother, then it's okay to take my name. Qian Wenju complained about the name Lin Buquan.
Why doesn't my sister like me? She also said that she once wanted me to be her husband! It's a pity that in front of outsiders, Cang Zijian didn't want to say anything about it, and he reprimanded Qian Wenju unhappily: "Don't talk nonsense, my wife's surname is Lin." ”
"According to the name of the third junior brother, it's okay to change the word, Lin Bufan or something, it's not as good as Quanquan, isn't it?"
Fu Zhenyu smiled "hehe" and said, "My father took it, and the second senior brother still has opinions?" ”
Qian Wenju couldn't stop laughing, and said while laughing: "It's a five-tone incomplete, I didn't expect Master to have such a narrow time!" ”
In the past, Cang Zijian didn't pay attention, but as soon as Qian Wenju said this, he said: "The name was chosen by yourself, and the master didn't object, but?" ”
Why are you so smart, it's very annoying, Fu Zhenyu looked at Cang Zijian with disgust, and said nonsense: "My father doesn't say it, life is not all normal, so I don't have to wronged myself because I am a woman." ”
This was done by Fu Shanchang.
Names, especially fake names, are nothing to care about. Speaking of Fu Shanchang, Cang Zijian remembered something and said to Fu Zhenyu: "By the way, Shopkeeper Tong is back, and I have asked about Master's situation." ”
Qian Wenju came over in a hurry, arranged Fu Shanchang in Suzhou, and invited Imperial Physician Qiu into the door, as soon as he heard that Imperial Physician Qiu said that he could be cured, he slipped away. Therefore, he was not in a hurry about the specific situation, listened to Cang Zijian's words, glanced at Fu Zhenyu, and listened carefully.
After Dr. Qiu learned of his master's early death, he re-checked his pulse, and after the symptoms were dealt with again, he said that the master was weak in his mother's womb, and the way to recuperate the day after tomorrow was not right. From now on, although Master's body is still not as healthy as ordinary people, at least it will be able to live without hindrance. If he comes back a few years later, it will be him, and he will not be able to recover. ”
The old lady doctor also said that he may not be there a few years later.
Liu Qing always felt that the three children of Cangzijian were too concerned about Yuan Zizhou, and when he heard this, he said: "Sai Weng is not blessed if he loses his horse, Yuan Zizhou, you don't have to care so much." ”
Don't always worry about Yuan Zizhou, Cang Zijian agreed, because he said: "What the old gentleman said is true. ”
After speaking, he said to Fu Zhenyu: "Shopkeeper Tong said that the master is only afraid that he will live in Suzhou." If my sister is not at ease, I will send you south. ”
Fu Zhenyu is worried, but she is not a doctor, and it is in vain if she goes. Moreover, the absence of my father means that my mother is not there, and from the perspective of managing the college, there is nothing better than this. Therefore, she said: "Don't worry, let my father raise it for half a year, and at the end of the year, the three of us will go south together." Wouldn't it be better for the two of us to go to Suzhou to celebrate the New Year with our father and brother and the family? ”
In the past, because of the proximity, Fu Shanchang wanted to return to his hometown for the New Year, but Cang Zijian never followed, so after his family was broken, Cang Zijian had been alone for seven years.
Now, as a family, celebrate the New Year together? Cang Zijian thought of something else, and he was a little excited.
At this time, Liu Qing, who had lived a happy life in Nanhu Academy for more than a month, was dissatisfied: "You are all gone, what should the old man do?" ”
Fu Zhenyu had an idea and said, "How about letting the second senior brother send the old man to Tianyi Pavilion?" ”
Liu Qing's cloudy eyes immediately added a few rays of light, and the old man said reservedly: "Although it is harder, since it is requested by you children, the old man must not comply with one or two." ”
