Chapter 438: Han Hui's Past
Tu Zi paused, but soon, he quickened his pace and left.
It's more like running away.
When he returned home, Tu Zi was stuffy in the room, the doors and windows were closed, and the lights were not lit, the room was dark, but the darkness made people even quieter.
Memories go back many years......
He was admitted to Xiucai at the age of fifteen, and he was still the first place.
The young man was in high spirits.
But I don't know how many people have been jealous.
The master advised him to take a break for three years, stabilize his knowledge, and take the exam again in three years.
But he wanted to get ahead early, he didn't want to wait another three years, he chose to take the exam, but he didn't want to be entangled on the road, and he didn't want his mother to embroider overnight to burn his eyes, so he asked someone to find him some ways to make money.
At first, he copied books, and although he didn't make much money, he was able to learn from the past.
Seeing that the time for the entrance examination was getting shorter and shorter, but there was not much money on hand, he finally listened to the words of his classmates and went to the big family to teach those young masters to enlighten literacy.
But this is how I fell into the trap of my classmates.
He took in five students in one row, all three-year-olds.
But these children are young masters of large families, and they have big tempers and are difficult to discipline.
In order to teach them, he was very busy every day, and he was so busy that he didn't have time to read at all.
Sometimes, when it was finally empty, those students came to visit, to ask themselves questions, and they couldn't drive people away, after all, their father, he couldn't afford to provoke, and he collected a lot of money.
In this way, although he scraped together enough money, he did not perform well in the exam and failed.
Later, he refused to teach, and those big families felt that since he had taught, he should teach his children to go to the academy, and should not give up halfway, and let the children be taught by a master again, and the children were unwilling.
But he felt that if he continued to teach, he would be delayed, so he still chose not to teach.
also admitted that he failed the list this time, and he wanted to study hard and strive to pass the next exam.
Those big families were not reasonable people, they felt that their interests had been lost, and later the children were reluctant to change the master and resisted the new master, and they made a fuss for a long time, which made them even more annoyed with Han Hui.
Han Hui didn't expect those people to be so small.
Precisely because he has to take exams and does not teach their children, they let themselves ...... Never be able to take the exam.
A note was found in his examination basket, with some questions about the Ministry of Engineering, but in fact, it had nothing to do with this exam, and there were no such questions.
He was stripped of his Xiucai title and imprisoned in prison for two years.
In the past two years, except for his father and mother, no one else has come to visit him, which made him realize that the world is hot and cold.
In the second year of his imprisonment, his father passed away, and he couldn't even go out to guard his father's funeral hall.
He finally got out of prison, but he was confused.
In this life, what else will he do besides studying?
Copying books? When the owner of the bookstore saw him, he blasted him away, saying that he had insulted the nobility of the scholars, and that it was not uncommon for him to copy things.
Be a Master? It is even less likely that anyone would ask a person with a loss of virtue to teach a child.
When he returned home, he didn't go out, he was locked in the house all day, and he didn't even notice that his mother was coughing all the time.
The mother coughed up blood and fell to the ground.
He heard the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground, and he didn't look at it until it was dark, and his mother didn't send food, which made him a little puzzled, so he pushed the door and went out to see, at this time his mother had fallen to the ground for a long time.
He regretted not rushing out to see it in the first place.
