In the house, Mrs. Du was "reminiscing about the past" again: "I think at the beginning, your great-grandfather, isn't he more capable than his stepbrother and can read, which made his stepbrother have no face to stay at home and run out by himself, so he inherited all the family business of the Du family?" How else you people can live a good life now? Don't say far, just talk about the near, our family can stay here safely and securely, the old lady of the adult family next door can greet us with a smile and have a close relationship, not because we are a scholarly family, the court is not lower than him, maybe when our family will come out of a jinshi, and they will be on an equal footing? So you have to work hard, study hard, and don't think about what you have and don't have all day long. Work hard to get into the exam, and then get a jinshi, and you will have everything. Don't just stare at that idea of ancestral property, it's not productive. ”

There are several restaurants under the name of the Du family, as well as some fields and shops, although they are not very rich, but they are also more solid than ordinary people, at least they can provide a family of old and young men with education and fine clothes and food. Mrs. Du has two sons under her knees, and the people in these two rooms have been fighting openly and secretly for this ancestral property, and Mrs. Du is like a mirror in her heart. But he didn't stop it, sometimes the two sides were tired of fighting and planned to put out the drums and rest for a while, and he would put a fire in the middle to start the battle again.

He felt that if his family was wealthy, it was easy to lose his family: the family didn't have to worry about food and clothing anyway, so he didn't want to struggle, and always wanted to lie on the ancestral property and wait for death. If there is a comfortable life, who wants to endure hardships and suffering? So he picked up the two rooms to fight. The people in the two rooms compare to see who is better at reading, and who can make more money than whom. Just like the chef in the restaurant, if someone covets his position, he will be more active in doing things and come up with new dishes. And his method is also quite effective, no, compared with his brother's family, the children in their room are very motivated, those who have the talent to read will study hard, and those who have no talent for reading will manage the restaurant, and everyone will also drill camps in various ways. In short, no one is idle, and the eighteen kinds of martial arts show their magical powers, and strive to be upstream.

In order to overwhelm the big room in the second room, Du Zheyanba married the young master of the Qi family, and even gave his father the position of the county government master. Although this official is not in the stream, not even Jipin, but he is mixed with an official body, and he has a lot of face when he says it. In the past half a year, Mrs. Du has been showing off enough in his younger brother.

Of course, Mrs. Du's method is quite effective, but it has some negative effects. The two sons under his name, together with the two daughters-in-law and grandsons and granddaughters, are like those black corns all day long, either you make trouble with me, or I make trouble with you, anyway, there is no time to stop. Let's not talk about brotherhood, it's simply an enemy.

But Old Lady Du doesn't care about this. The following two sons are not united, and they want to take advantage of the division of property in the future, so they will come to curry favor with him one by one. If they are all in harmony and no one takes him as an old man seriously, what is the point of his life?

Du Zhexin was very tired of his grandfather's clichés, but he didn't show any impatience on his face, he listened carefully to teach, and from time to time he echoed a few words, saying that he not only listened, but also had some experience. For a while, the grandparents and grandchildren chatted very lively.

……

Du Jin would rather not know what happened to the Qi family and Du Zheyan's family, and she was not interested in it. She sorted out all the things at hand recently, and planned to take advantage of this time to deal with things. After an hour, seeing that it was late in the evening, she went to Qi Mansion, only to know that Qi Bokun not only invited her, but also Guan Jiaze, Liang Xiankuan, and Xu Chengyuan were invited.

Everyone successfully passed the college examination, and the rankings obtained were not bad, so they were naturally very happy.

"What's next for you?" Qi Bokun asked.

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you.

Guan Jiaze waved his hand: "Everyone doesn't have to look at me, I can only go to the capital anyway." ”

"I'm going to stay in Fucheng." Du Jinning vaguely guessed the meaning of Qi Bokun's question, so he said more carefully, "Let's inquire about the school first; If it is not satisfactory, inquire about Nanlu Academy again. ”

Although there is no clear division of primary school, middle school, and university in the academic system, the teaching objects of each academy are also focused. For example, the general private school accepts Mengtong; After three or five years of enlightenment, after learning to read and write and reading through the four books, those who have the conditions and intentions will send their children to study in various academies, and the goal is to be a child or a talent.

If you are admitted to Xiucai, it means that you have read and understood the four books and five classics thoroughly, the three views have been shaped as required, and the culture has also laid a solid foundation. Scholars believe that at this time, students should no longer focus on books, but should turn to people's livelihood and society, otherwise they will be useless nerds.

Therefore, the articles written during the township examination require that they have their own opinions on people's livelihood and social issues; Even when it comes to the Four Books and the Five Classics, it is no longer a test of memorization and comprehension, but a deeper and unique insight, preferably related to social issues.

This also requires that the students who have been admitted to Xiucai cannot blindly study, but take a look more, go deep into life, and pay attention to society. At this time, you don't necessarily need to go to the academy to study, and you can study or study on your own. Guan Le and the disciple he accepted before have been studying outside all these years, and Du Jinning has not seen this senior brother for two years.

Although it is okay to study or study on your own, you will not gain much from walking around aimlessly, and no one will guide you to think deeply about the problem. Therefore, government schools, county schools, and high-level academies have become the most ideal places for talents.

These academies do not require students to sit there and listen to their lectures. They will hold some lectures on a regular basis to guide everyone to discover problems, think about problems, start arguments, and draw their own opinions; Sometimes, several colleges will communicate with each other and hold academic debate competitions to broaden everyone's horizons. If a gentleman looks at you differently, he will also guide you specifically.

"If the lamp is not pulled out, it will not be clear." With the guidance of these famous teachers, after a period of time, you will find that your thinking of looking at problems and thinking about problems is very different from before, your vision is broader, and your thinking about problems is more in-depth.

Therefore, the guidance of famous academies and teachers has played a vital role at this stage.

As a scholar, Du Jinning is very interested in academies at all levels in this era, and when he has the opportunity, he naturally wants to go in to study and learn about it.
