Chapter 43: The Story

Wei 13 saw that Shizi was halfway through his words, and then looked at the lobby downstairs, so he silently retreated to the side and guarded quietly.

There are some questions that you have to figure out for yourself to really understand.

He's just a guard, and he doesn't understand and can't understand the master's problem.

……

The storyteller in the hall is telling a true story, which is something that has just been circulating recently.

It is said that there is a farmer who finally has a young son after giving birth to three daughters, and the owner of the farmer is very happy.

The young son has been smart and clever since he was a child, and he can recite the three-character scripture backwards when he is three years old, so the teacher in the village has a heart of love for talents, and discusses with the farmers, hoping that he can send the young son to the school to study, and not to waste such a good seedling.

The owner of the farmer took the opportunity to cry poverty, but the teacher felt sorry for him, so he spared the child and accepted him as a disciple.

The farmer was very happy, and in order to provide for the young son in the family to study, the whole family of eight tightened their belts and lived a difficult 12 years.

At the beginning, this child was as smart as ever, and he was admitted to Tongsheng when he was twelve years old.

But after that, there is no benefit.

Until he was eighteen years old, because he couldn't pass the exam every year, his relatives and friends began to persuade the farmers, let him take advantage of his daughter's age, and find a wishful husband for them to marry, so as not to drag down until he is old.

When the farmer heard this, he fell silent, and when his relatives, friends, and neighbors saw this, they secretly went to his wife to consult.

Although his wife also loves her young son, but seeing that her three daughters have also reached the age when they should say goodbye, if they drag it out, they don't know when their young son will be admitted to Xiucai.

So the farmer's lady began to look for a matchmaker to help each other, and the farmer knew about it, so he didn't say anything, and acquiesced.

But when the young son who came back from the school found out, he lost his temper.

In the school, looking at the teacher's increasingly disappointed eyes, and the seemingly nonchalant laughter of his classmates, he felt extremely embarrassed.

How proud I was when I was admitted to the middle school, and how desperate I am now.

The teacher often told him that he should be calm, he is still young, as long as he calms down and reads, it will be a matter of time before he is admitted to the show.

But how could he calm down?

There are three sisters in the family, the eldest sister is twenty or four years old, and even the third sister is nineteen.

He often woke up in a dream when his three sisters accused him of delaying their youth, and his father shook his head and sighed in disappointment, and his mother wept at the candle all day so that she was blind.

Slowly, he began to sleep all night long, even when he looked at the book, his mind was blank, and he couldn't read a word.

But what can he do without reading?

As the so-called useless is a scholar, he can neither cultivate nor have any strange skills.

Moreover, this dynasty does not pay attention to arithmetic, but pays more attention to the students' poetry, strategy, and etiquette.

He wanted to find a teacher to borrow the "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" and "The Book of Arithmetic" to study, even if he went to find a job as a bookkeeper, he could support himself.

But he was afraid of seeing the teacher's disappointed eyes, so he could only bury his thoughts in the bottom of his heart and dare not show the slightest hint.
