Chapter 181: Apprenticeship
Mr. Wu was speechless, picked up the paper written by Jiang Jiemo and looked at it carefully.
This child's words may not be amazing if they are changed to an older person, but he is only four years old.
A little doll more than four years old has such pen power, which is stronger than his own son when he was a child.
It would be a pity if such a manufacturable material was buried in the countryside.
Mr. Wu lowered his head and stared at Jiang Jie: "Would you like to be my student?" ”
Jiang Jie blinked, remembered his sister's advice, and nodded: "Yes!" ”
My sister said that Grandpa Wu's son may be a Jinshi, and Grandpa Wu must also be a very capable scholar, if he is fortunate enough to worship him as a teacher, it will not be a problem to take the Xiucai examination in the future.
If he is admitted to Xiucai, his field can be tax-free, and after he becomes a ding, he can also wear colored clothes when walking outside, and he doesn't have to be like Brother Lobby, who can only wear black and white, which is not good-looking at all.
Mr. Wu turned his head to look at Jiang Sanlang who was standing under the eaves of the corridor in the distance and beckoned to him.
Jiang Sanlang hurriedly came over and saluted Mr. and Mrs. Wu.
Mr. Wu brushed his beard and said: "Jiang Cunzheng, the old man wants to accept Linglang as an apprentice, I don't know what you think?" ”
Jiang Saburo was stunned, thinking that he had misheard. But he quickly reacted and took a deep look at Mr. Wu, "It is his honor to be able to take a fancy to Mr. Xiao'er, and he is overjoyed, and there is nothing that our family is unwilling to." ”
Mr. Wu nodded: "Okay, Jiang Jie will be the old man's disciple in the future." ”
Hearing Mr. Wu say this, Yingbao was excited, gently pushed his younger brother, and motioned him to kowtow to his teacher.
Jiang Jie instantly understood what his sister meant, knelt down in front of the old gentleman, kowtowed, and shouted: "Master is above, disciple Jiang Jie kowtows to you!" ”
At first, because he knelt too quickly, he fell on the ground and ate, but fortunately, he quickly got up and knelt down, and kowtowed seriously.
Granny Wu couldn't stop laughing, and quickly helped the little doll up. "Oh, slow down, your face is broken."
"No..." Jiang Jie touched his face, a little embarrassed.
Wu Lao: "Since you are my disciple, you will live here in the future, are you willing?" ”
Jiang Jie hesitated, turned his head to look at his sister, and then at his father, and saw that both of them nodded, so he had to nod his head too: "Yes." So, will I be able to go home in the future? ”
If he is not allowed to go home, he will regret it.
"Naturally, you can go back, and you can take a day off in ten and a half years." Wu Lao touched his beard and said.
Jiang Jie was entangled for a moment, but still nodded.
Coming out of the inner courtyard of the yamen, Jiang Jie hung his head and was silent.
Jiang Saburo carried him into the carriage and asked the little girl to accompany him to talk.
But until he returned to Plum Blossom Lane, Jiang Jie didn't speak.
Ying Bao knew that his younger brother couldn't accept leaving home for a while and leaving his father and mother to study, so he touched his head and said softly:
"If you want to take the exam and become a person like the county magistrate, you must worship a good master. Did you see those county school students yesterday? Some of them are older than their fathers and are still studying in the school, do you know why? ”
Jiang Jie said sullenly: "Because they didn't get in." ”
"That's right. Guess why they don't get in? ”
"Because there is no great master."
"Haha, Xiaojie is so smart, he even knows this." Sakura clapped his hands and laughed: "Just because they didn't worship a good master when they were young, they are still studying older than their father." ”
Jiang Saburo: ...... How old do you have to be to make your children dislike you?
I heard Yingbao continue: "Do you want to study and read until you can't pass the exam, or do you want to have a master to teach you to be admitted to the show early?" ”
Xiao Jie thought for a moment and said, "I want to be admitted early." "He didn't want to read until he was older than his grandfather, and he wouldn't even be able to walk the road by then.
Sakura patted her brother's little shoulder and encouraged, "Yes, ambitious." In the previous dynasty, there was a little prodigy who was admitted to Xiucai at the age of ten, raised people in the examination at the age of thirteen, and went to the capital at the age of sixteen to take the Jinshi examination. ”
Jiang Jie's eyes lit up as he listened.
When he was a child, he often listened to his sister tell stories about students studying in the story, and he especially longed for the children in the story who went to Beijing to take the exam.
What is the title of the gold list, the champion Tanhua, all of them are not as attractive as the ghosts and monsters he encountered on the way to the exam, so he must go to the exam early.
At present, the first to be promoted is his primary goal.
"Sister, when will I go to Grandpa Wu's place to study?"
Jiang Jie, who had figured it out, couldn't wait to go to Grandpa Wu's house to apprentice.
Ying Bao smiled: "Dad has already gone to prepare for the apprenticeship ceremony, let's go early tomorrow morning." ”
Early the next morning, Jiang Jie put on a brand-new plain cloth shirt and pants, combed his hair neatly, put on a cloth bag, climbed into the carriage and sat on the front of the carriage, looking like a proper little scholar.
Jiang Saburo also put on a clean plain cloth clothes, with six rituals and restraints.
Sakura didn't go this time, because that kind of occasion was not suitable for anyone other than the elders to watch.
It wasn't until noon that Jiang Saburo returned.
He said to his daughter with a happy face: "Xiaojie has already worshipped his teacher, Wu Lao left him to live in the inner courtyard of the county government, and we will take Xiaojie home for one day on the first and fifteenth days of each month." ”
Sakura Po was also very happy. "Then on the first and fifteenth days of the new year, I will bring A-Niang to the county seat."
Jiang Saburo also meant this, he smiled and said, "Let's go home now and tell your mother the good news." ”
The children of villagers like them can worship Mr. Wu as a teacher, which is the blessing of several lifetimes.
Although Jiang Saburo didn't know what Wu Lao did before, he was able to teach a son like Wu Xianling, and he was an amazing character.
But then again, if it weren't for his little daughter, he wouldn't even be able to cross the threshold of the inner courtyard of the county government, let alone have a relationship with the county family.
As soon as he heard that he would go back now, Jiang Quan hurriedly climbed into the carriage.
Jiang Cheng was reluctant to leave, saying that he would stay in Meihua Lane to guard his family. Since the carpenter comes to the house every day to make furniture, someone must take care of it.
In fact, there is another reason why he does not return to his hometown, the last family affair made Jiang Cheng feel that he couldn't raise his head in the village, and he just wanted to stay in the county seat for the rest of his life and never go back.
Jiang Sanlang explained Jiang Cheng a few words, and then drove the carriage out of the city.
I drove all the way and finally returned to the village before dark.
Two puppies barked and ran over to greet their little master, their tails wagging into propellers.
"Daddy! Sister! ”
Jiang Wu hadn't seen his sister for several days, and every evening he stood on the high wall and looked at the road into the village.
Sakura jumped out of the carriage, first gave the second brother a bear hug, and then picked up the two dogs and stroked them a few times.
Chunniang also ran out, and Jiang Jie was stunned when she didn't see her: "Where is Xiaojie?" ”
Jiang Sanlang said with a smile: "Xiaojie worshipped a master in the county seat, and he will live in his master's house in the future, and you can go to the county seat with me to see him on the fifteenth day of the new year." ”
Chunniang was dazed for a moment, remembering that the little girl took Xiaojie to meet the county commander's father, and asked in disbelief: "Could it be that Xiaojie worshipped Mrs. Wu as a teacher?" ”
Jiang Saburo smiled and said in a low voice: "Just know about this at home, don't let outsiders know." ”
Recently, it seems that the network is unstable, and the chapter I updated can't be found on the APP.
