Chapter 89: Going to School
When the grandchildren arrived, the master was teaching the son, but he didn't make them wait long. The master was about forty years old, and there was a smell of books on his body, and he looked a little thin, wearing a light blue robe, and his eyebrows and eyes gave people a gentle feeling.
"Master, be polite." Old Man Zhou hurriedly stood up and said very respectfully.
"Old man Zhou doesn't have to be polite, please take a seat." The master's surname is Luo, everyone calls him Luofuzi, obviously he knows the identity of the old man Zhou, the old man is older than him, so he also greets the younger generation politely when he sees the elders.
"Master, today the old man and I brought five grandchildren to the school, I don't know what the master thinks of them?" The old man was afraid that the master would not accept his grandson, but he spoke more politely.
"Master, good." The nervous faces of the five older boys were expressionless at this time.
"Old man, these five grandsons are all tall and big. It's just that old man, if your grandsons take the imperial examination, a few of them will be a little older. I am afraid that the future achievements will be ............" He had already learned about these children before he came, not to mention the rumors of a few children in a village, who had seen and heard a few children before.
"Master, it doesn't matter, you can let them know how to read, and if they can settle accounts, they will be satisfied if they have the opportunity to be a shopkeeper in the future."
"Hehe, old man, although he is old and started late, he may not have much success. But this reading, naturally, is not just about age. It's that people have to be clever, and they have to be diligent, and it is not impossible to work hard. He looked at the five boys, and felt that there were two boys whose eyes were particularly aura, and he had a look of anticipation.
"Master, don't worry, we will study hard and never be lazy."
"Yes, Master, if they are disobedient, you can only discipline them and beat them, and there is no problem."
"Hehe, that's good, since that's the case, then I'll accept you, and I'll test if you have any foundation later." Luo Fuzi didn't refuse at all, anyway, he would definitely teach the silver, as long as it wasn't a particularly bad student, he generally wouldn't refuse. Next, the master asked the five boys of the Zhou family to take the test for them, of course, some of them only knew a few words, and some were more outstanding in arithmetic. The most eye-catching thing for the master is that Zhou Zibao not only knows a lot of words, but also knows hundreds of family names, and his calculations are also very good, and Luo Zizi immediately liked this boy. And I know that he is 10 years old this year, although he started late, but I think that he should have some achievements in teaching well in the future.
When Zhou Ziya later learned that Luo Fuzi had the idea of taking the exam for his second brother, she sighed in her heart, and really deserved to be the most cunning and treacherous second brother in the family, and she had a lot of eyes. No wonder, there will be such a doubling of achievements in the future.
The old man gave all the meat and eggs he had brought to Luofuzi, and paid the tuition fees for his five grandchildren, who told the five boys to start school tomorrow. Because Luo Fuzi still had to teach students, he said a few more words and left.
On the way back, the grandparents and grandchildren were very happy, especially a few boys, the excitement could not be hidden, eager to jump a few more, on the way to see the villagers, a few children's mouths as sweet as eating honey, greeting, provoked the people in the village to keep praising the boy of the Zhou family for being polite.
When the people in the village knew that the Zhou family had sent five grandchildren to school, they were envious, jealous, sour, congratulatory, and had all kinds of expressions for a while. It didn't take long for Shanshui Village to spread this matter, after all, such a thing is a big deal in Shanshui Village, not to mention that a little thing in the countryside can be said for a few days.
