Therefore, the literary style of this dynasty is clear, and the emphasis on literature and light on military force can be seen.

Old man Chen was reluctant to spend money, but Wang Su was willing, he secretly bought an oil lamp with Old Man Chen on his back, and after dinner every day, when it was dark, he lit the oil lamp, and let Ergou use the light of the oil lamp to endorse it.

The book was also bought by Wang Su, and although he had not taken the imperial examination, he had also learned it.

He once talked to Deng Qing, and the person who taught him was the bookkeeper who kept accounts in his restaurant.

The book that Wang Su bought was written down by Mr. Ledger and taught him. At that time, there was a shortage of soldiers, and Wang Su's family was not a family of scholars who cultivated and studied heirlooms, so there was no place to study.

Fortunately, Mr. Ledger does have some real skills, and he really has the ability to never forget, and he can write down all these thick books silently, so that the young Wang Su has a book to read, so that he will not say that there is not one big character.

Ergou is also a little persevering, obviously not a piece of reading material, but since he has already made three chapters with Wang Su, he must memorize it every day, no matter how sleepy he is when he reads, he also reads it.

On the first night, Ergou was a little uneasy and wanted to get by, so Wang Su smiled and said to him: "Okay, then you can go to sleep, anyway, I don't think you can memorize it." ”

Wang Su first wanted to use the method of agitation to motivate the two dogs to work hard, but who knew that the two dogs were not fooled at all.

Don't say it's your surname Wang, I don't think I can memorize it.

After listening to Wang Su's words, Ergou was full of joy, and he was about to go to sleep.

Wang Su saw that the method of agitation was not good, and in the end he had to sacrifice a killing move, stopped Ergou, left a sentence, and said: "If you can't memorize it today, we won't practice martial arts tomorrow." ”

After listening to Ergou, there was no way, but Wang Su couldn't resist it, so he could only pout, wipe his tears, and read it repeatedly, and he could only memorize it when he read it.

It can be said that it has the style of a head cantilever cone thorn stock.

That night, the two dogs both fell asleep wiping their tears.

Old Man Chen was very distressed on his face, but he was his precious grandson, and he had never cried so sadly since he was a child.

But in fact, Old Man Chen was about to burst into laughter.

Hey, hey, hey, it's called a quiet place in the past two days, you don't have to guard the second dog to write and endorse, you have nothing to do, and the old man Chen is the account room of the store during the day, and Shiliu Town is not big, so he doesn't have much work to do.

Before Wang Su came, in addition to settling accounts, that is, planting land at home, or guarding the two dogs.

Now it's okay, when the second dog is taking a step, Wang Su also takes advantage of his absence from time to time to arrange the land. Old Man Chen was still a little embarrassed in the first two days, but he couldn't resist Wang Su after he fell, so he left it to him.

I came back every day to cook, and in my spare time, I went out to find an extra job. Anyway, being idle is idle, and not having to take a bear child is better than anything else.

But when people are idle, it's easy to figure things out.

On this day, after dinner, Old Man Chen pulled Wang Su, who supervised Ergou's endorsement, aside.

Old Man Chen glanced at Ergou, who was seriously reciting the book, a look of relief appeared on his face, and said, "Xiao Wang, I will discuss something with you." ”

Wang Su asked with some curiosity: "Okay, Uncle Chen, you can say it, I'll listen." ”

"Huh." Uncle Chen rubbed his hands and said a little embarrassedly, "Xiao Wang, I see that you are quite knowledgeable." You see, you'...... Can you stay and teach Ergou to read. ”

When Wang Su heard this, his face was embarrassed, and Old Man Chen was afraid that he would misunderstand, so he hurriedly said: "Xiao Wang, don't misunderstand, I definitely can't let you teach the second dog in vain, right?" Don't worry, even if I smash the pot and sell iron, I will definitely have to pay your wages. ”

When Wang Su saw Old Man Chen say this, he knew that he had misunderstood, so he smiled helplessly and said, "Uncle Chen, you misunderstood!" It's not that I don't want to teach Ergou, but I don't have any university questions, and I can't write articles and poems. I can also teach Ergou to endorse now, so that he can recognize a few more words, if you really want me to teach Ergou. ”

Wang Su paused, and said with a wry smile: "That would be a mistake for people's children and harm the second dog." ”

Old Man Chen was a little disappointed and said, "Alas. In fact, I have also seen Ergou's efforts in the past two days. I wondered, can Ergou read more books, if it is, I said just in case. In case the second dog can take the test, then my old Chen family is really glorious. ”

In fact, Wang Su really thinks that Ergou should practice martial arts.

Although Ergou's qualifications are mediocre, firstly, he already likes to practice martial arts, and secondly, he is also a little persistent.

If Ergou can maintain the current momentum, not to mention Wang Su's current realm in the future, but whether it is going to the court or the dart game, even if he goes to some poor sects, he can get a good life.

However, although Wang Su didn't know why, he also knew that letting Ergou study and gain fame was a knot in Old Man Chen's heart, no, he was about to become Old Man Chen's demon.

It's a pity that compared to practicing martial arts, Ergou has no talent for reading......

Wang Su thought to himself.

After all, this is the family affair of Old Man Chen, the idea that the monarch is the minister, and the father is the son is still relatively deep-rooted in the Tang Dynasty, Wang Su is an outsider in the end, and it is not good to do more beaks.

"Uncle Chen."

"What's wrong?"

Wang Su said: "I have recovered from my injuries, and I may leave." ”

Old Man Chen asked in some surprise: "You can leave when you are injured, just come and see your Uncle Chen next time." ”

Wang Su said helplessly: "Uncle Chen, I didn't mean that. ”

"What do you mean?"

Wang Su said: "I mean, if Uncle Chen, you really want Ergou to study and go to the imperial examination in the future, it is best to find a private school or academy for Ergou in two years, or find a famous and learned scholar in Pingtong City, and let Ergou go to apprentice." ”

In fact, it is not very simple to find a teacher for Ergou, after all, Ergou has no talent for reading, and apprenticeship is not just as simple as students picking teachers, teachers also have to pick students.

Generally speaking, some famous and learned literati pick students, either they have to have a family background, and they are either rich or expensive. Either you have to have talent, articles, poems, and not weak feelings. Either they are related, children and nephews, or they are recommended.

Obviously, Ergou does not have any of the above conditions, so if Ergou really wants to study for the imperial examination, then he will either be self-taught, and this possibility can be ignored......

Either you just need to go to a private school or a college.

In fact, Wang Su did not get acquainted with some literati and artists, but they were not near Pingtong, or even in Yongzhou. If Ergou leaves home to study, Old Man Chen will have to stay in Shiliu Town alone.

Old Man Chen was silent for a long time, patted Wang Su on the shoulder, and the two went back to the courtyard.

Sending Ergou to a private school, Old Man Chen began to think of a way.
