Ye Yuran glared at him: "Who said that your little brother is a fool? Do you think which fool can never forget it? Don't you notice, I usually teach Dabao, Erbao and a few girls, and I always teach your little brother first, let him be responsible for teaching them?"

Zhu San recalled: "It seems to be like this. ”

Don't say you don't pay attention, it's true, when Dabao, Erbao, and Xiaomei have something that they can't remember, they will always ask their little brother.

"He's just slow to react, too slow to deal with human accidents, not really stupid, as long as he teaches well, he will definitely not be worse than you in reading. Ye Yuran said.

"What do you think the children's exam is for? It's a test of memorizing things, which happens to be what your little brother is best at. I don't plan to let him achieve much, but since he has something he is good at, why not let him give it a try? If he doesn't find a way out, what will he do for the rest of his life? I will be old one day, you brothers will have your own life one day, who will he live on when the time comes? Instead of counting on you, it is better to let him pass a little Mingtang, even if he is only a child, he will be able to live in peace in the countryside. ”

Zhu San didn't expect that in the imperial examination, his mother's most optimistic person was actually the younger brother.

But listening to his mother's analysis, I have to admit that the little brother who seems to have a "good memory" seems to be quite suitable. However, he still defended: "Actually, our brothers have good memories, but they are not as rebellious as the younger brothers." ”

felt a little sour in my heart, feeling that his mother only thought about a way out for her younger brother, not for a few of them.

Ye Yuran sighed: "Alas...... Now, I also figured it out, why wait for the conditions at home to be better, I've waited all my life, and I haven't seen the conditions at home improve, and I don't know if I can see it before I close my eyes. ”

"Mother's ......" Zhu San's heart was "sour", but what would be "sour" was not that his mother wanted to send his younger brother and two nephews to school, but what he was "sour" was - it turned out that his mother had also thought about them, but the family conditions did not allow it at that time.

"My mother has no other hopes in this life, so I thought, I'm at this age, so I'll fight the last one and see if I can put it together. I know that it is difficult for a person to pay sixteen taels of silver, and I don't want to send three people to the school at once, I want to let your little brother go first, let Dabao and Erbao follow, and let them learn from your little brother. ”

"The three of them must not be able to take care of themselves, so I want you to go, you are the smartest in this family, as long as you are in terms of human relations, there will definitely be no problem. It just so happens that you also use this name to avoid the limelight outside, and wait for next year or the year after, when your younger brother is admitted to the Tongsheng examination, you will come back...... At that time, everyone knew what you were doing, as a child's brother, if you wanted to marry a wife or something, you could choose a better one. ”

"Mother. Zhu San really didn't expect that his mother had thought so far for him.

"If you want to take the test, it's okay, anyway, your little brother has a good memory, he went to the school once, and he will definitely remember it when he comes back, you let him teach you. If he fails the test, you can learn from him, and if you want to take the test, you will also take the test when the time comes. ”

In these years, the imperial examination is not easy, even if it is just a small children's examination, it also includes three stages: county examination, government examination, and hospital examination. If you want to take the child exam, you need to have five people with the same examiner, and there is a county student as a guarantee to take the exam.

You think the guarantee is free?

No, at least five taels of silver, not to mention the cost on the road, without eight taels or ten taels, you can't take it at all.

Therefore, even Ye Yuran didn't dare to guarantee that there must be money for everyone to participate in the imperial examination, so he could only line up and come one by one. After all, in addition to the sixteen taels of bundle cultivation, plus the cost of the imperial examination of eight taels, more than twenty taels, she felt that she still had a chance to win it.

Zhu San was so moved that he was confused.

"But this is the beginning of spring next year, I'll tell you first, let you have a bottom in your heart, don't talk nonsense everywhere, wait until next year. Ye Yuran said.

"I know, mother. ”

"In the next few days, I will start to teach everyone to read, it is not enough to be bareback, and you can also use dim sum. If you can learn a little more, you can have a head start earlier. Mother naturally hopes that each of you will be well, but you also know that there are so many people in the family, the source of income is only a little bit, and what the mother can do is limited. ”

"Mother, I understand, I will cherish it. Mother, don't worry, I will definitely not let you down. When the time comes, I will definitely be optimistic about the younger brother, the big treasure, and the second treasure, let them study hard, and no matter how they will read a show. Zhu San felt that since the younger brother could be admitted to the middle school child's examination, then the two Dabao and Erbao would definitely not be worse than their uncle.

I am old and late in studying, but they started reading at such a young age, if they can't even compare to the uncle who is a fool, how embarrassed will they be?

After this conversation, Zhu San's mood was obviously much better, and he didn't seem to be immersed in the incident of "divorce from his wife", but had a head start and worked hard in that direction.

Zhu Si and Zhu Wu didn't know what was going on, so they ran over to inquire, what good things did his mother tell him to make him so happy?

Zhu San grinned and said with a little stupidity: "Hehe, you'll know when the time comes." ”

Zhu Wu had goosebumps: "Third brother, don't learn from the eldest brother and the second brother, you look too stupid." ”

"Go!" Zhu San glared at him, "You fool, you can't show your intelligence, do you understand?"

My mother felt that he was a little smart and exposed, so that he had nothing to learn more about the eldest and second, and how to lower his personal vigilance. In this way, when he arrives in the town, it will not be easy to suffer.

Zhu San thought about it and felt that his mother's words still made sense.

Maybe the kind of people who are smart and exposed dare not bully, but people who are stupid on the outside and smart on the inside are sometimes more able to take advantage of others.

Although he didn't want to take advantage of others too much, he also hoped that others would give him more "convenience" when he walked outside.

"I don't understand. Zhu Wu shook his head, "What did my mother tell you, you are so happy?"

"I won't tell you. Zhu San resolutely refused.

"Third brother, don't, who are our brothers, why don't you tell us? ”

"I just divorced my wife, what good can I do? The dried fish made by my mother last time was very delicious, and the fourth daughter-in-law said that it was very good to sell, so we would catch a little more and let the women in the family do a little more. ”

"Hey, third brother, you haven't said it yet. ”

......

In the end, they couldn't get out of Zhu San's mouth, and when it was dinner, Ye Yuran announced the official start of the family's "literacy plan".
