"There are now three private schools in the town, and a gentleman surnamed Liu is a child, not very old, about thirty years old, and he is still taking the Xiucai exam. The second is Yang Xiucai, who has already won Xiucai, but he is old, and it is estimated that he is fifty years old, and the other is my husband, surnamed Wen, who is in his forties this year and is a Xiucai. Gu Wanhe briefly introduced the situation of the private school in the town, and at the same time didn't want the second uncle to choose his husband, so he just said it briefly.

"Brother Hua, is Yang Xiucai still ready for the next exam? Are there many students in the private school? Gu Chengyu felt that Mr. Liu was not suitable for him in these three private schools, first of all, Mr. Liu was not very old, and he was still taking the exam, so he must be focused on taking the Xiucai test, and he may not be so attentive to the students. The second Yang Xiucai is old, if he does not continue the scientific examination and only focuses on teaching and educating people, he can consider it. As for the last one, I'm afraid Gu Wanhua doesn't want him to go, right?

When Gu Wanhua heard Gu Chengyu mention Mr. Yang, he knew that with the conditions he said about Mr. Yang, he should be able to attract them. "Yang Xiucai hasn't heard of the next stage in the past few years, I guess I don't want to take the exam, there are nearly 30 students in the private school, some can take the county exam this year like me, and there are children who have just been enlightened."

After hearing this, Father Gu was a little satisfied with Mr. Yang, but he thought that Brother Hua was studying with Mr. Wen, maybe Mr. Wen's conditions were better? "What about your husband, Mr. Wen? You are in Mr. Wen's private school, you should know more about your husband, and also tell him about his situation. ”

"My husband is not a low learner, but he is very strict, if he is disobedient, he will be on the ring ruler at every turn, I think the uncle is young after all, I am afraid that he will not be able to bear it." Gu Wanhua was a little unhappy when he heard Daddy Gu ask about his husband.

"What are you talking about? Who taught you to talk about sir behind your back? Sir, it's better to be stricter, otherwise you can't discipline you students? "Uncle Gu saw that his grandson actually began to arrange Mr., which was really rebellious. What's more, if Xiaobao and the others finally entered Mr. Wen's private school, wouldn't it make Mr. Hua Ge'er prejudiced if they leaked their mouths?

"How many students do you have? How many people have died this year? Do you go to a private school for a few years? How many people have been hit? Gu Chengyu thought about it, since his talent is not low and he is strict with his students, there must be many students in the private school.

"There are 52 people now, three people have left this year, and there are only three or four people who have left the field every three years. As for whether there are any people, how can it be so easy to take the test? In the past few years, I have only won three Xiucai, and in the first two years, there was a senior brother who passed the government exam, but he did not pass the college exam, and now he is still studying at home, and he often goes to the private school to ask for advice, and he is also preparing to get off the examination room this year. If you want to go to our private school, it's fine, but our husband has to go through his test when he accepts students. I went to school at that time because my grandfather taught me some words when I was at home, otherwise I wouldn't be able to get in! Gu Wanhua thought that Gu Chengyu would definitely not be enlightened, unless he had some qualifications, Mr. would not necessarily accept him. Thinking so, the old god is getting up.

Gu Chengyu made an analysis, first of all, Mr. Liu should be ruled out, Mr. Yang remains to be seen, Mr. Wen should be a rigorous person, and only when he is old or has some foundation will he let the students go. What is the specific, you have to go and see to know, just listen to Gu Wanhua's one-sided words.

"Dad, let's go to the private school in the town tomorrow! Listening to Brother Hua say this, it makes people hesitate, it's better to go and see, are you Mu Xiu today? Gu Chengyu plans to go to someone else tomorrow to inquire. It suddenly occurred to me that the daughter of Li Langzhong's family didn't marry a bookstore in the town? Then her family should be well-informed, after all, the people who buy books are scholars.

"It's going to be an exam, and my husband asked me to review at home for two days."

"It's good! Then big brother, let's go back, Brother Hua is going to end in a few days, right? Big brother shouldn't be too strict, you still have to take care of your body, I think Mr. Wen should be very optimistic about Brother Hua, otherwise he won't let him go. "Daddy Gu thinks it's better to say goodbye earlier, don't affect Brother Hua'er's study, if Brother Hua can pass, his third grandfather's face will be bright!

Gu Wanhua listened a little weakly, in fact, this fate was asked by him to his husband, he has been studying for eight years, counting the enlightenment at home, it has been ten years, and he wants to prove himself. But Mr. Wen said that she was a little impetuous, and her foundation was not very solid, and she would continue to have a solid foundation, but he couldn't wait, and students of the same age as him also had two ends this year. In the end, the gentleman still saw that he had made up his mind, so he said that he would let him try.

"Then I won't keep you, I have to urge him to study, it's twelve today, the county exam is the sixteenth of this month, and on the fifteenth day, you have to go to the county to find an inn to live in advance, otherwise it will be too late to go that day, and you will have to get up before dawn in the morning." So there are only three or four days to review the book. ”

On the way back, Gu Chengyu told Daddy Gu what he was going to do, "Dad, let's go to Li Langzhong's daughter's bookstore and ask Ming'er!" It's better to listen and inquire. ”

The next day, Gu Chengyu and Father Gu took the old king's ox cart to the town. There is no big market today, and there are not as many people in the town as there were that day, so the two of them pulled someone on the street and asked, there are two bookstores on the west side of the town, and they went straight to the west after thanking them.

When I arrived to the west, there were a lot of shops on both sides, and Gu Chengyu saw the Xi bookstore at a glance. The bookstore is the façade of two rooms, there are a lot of people in and out to buy books, there is a man wearing silk cloth in front of the counter, who looks about the same age as Gu Chengli, I heard that the apprentice bookstore did not invite the shopkeeper, then this person is Li Langzhong's son-in-law.

Gu Chengyu and Gu's father entered the bookstore, and saw that there were still a lot of books in the shop, and there were even people copying books.

"But what books do you want to buy?" When the shopkeeper saw someone coming in, he made routine inquiries. Although the two of them don't look like people who bought books or the four treasures of the study, no matter who they are, they can't be underestimated.

"Dare to ask, but is it the shopkeeper Pan?" Gu Chengyu stepped forward and saluted.

"Exactly, I don't know who you are?" Shopkeeper Pan is a little strange, he has never seen this old and young, let alone acquaintance.

"The kid is from Shangling Village, this is my father, surnamed Gu. Li Langzhong is your father-in-law? ”

"Yes, indeed. I don't know what's going on? Could it be that my father-in-law is looking for me? Seeing that it was a kid who replied and mentioned his father-in-law, the shopkeeper Pan felt even more strange.

The boy also heard Li Langzhong say that his virtuous son-in-law opened a bookstore in the town. The boy's family wanted the boy to go to a private school in the town, but they didn't know which private school was suitable. Shopkeeper Pan is well-informed, and must be very familiar with the situation of the private school in the town, so I don't know if you can give us a suggestion. ”

When the shopkeeper Pan heard this, he carefully looked at the little baby in front of him who couldn't even reach the counter, a male baby, who looked exquisite, and was not worse than a scholar.

"It turned out to be Uncle Gu, but the contemptible person is not well-informed, and he has only heard the students who came to buy books talk about it."

Gu Chengyu listened to him and then roughly explained the situation of the private school in the town, which was not much different from what Gu Wanhua said.
