Chapter 751 The county magistrates son is so miserable
Since ancient times, the relationship between master and apprentice has been comparable to that of father and son. Shang Xiucai has no sons. If he accepts Gu Jinan as his apprentice, he will have someone to support him until his death.
Shang Xiucai burst into tears when he heard this. It wasn't that he didn't want to accept Gu Jinan as his disciple, but he just didn't want Gu Jinan to be delayed by his incompetent master.
"Whether you want to accept me or not, please tell me, don't let your child kneel to you in vain." Mr. Ouyang Hu said from the side: "Isn't it true that a man just wants to accept an apprentice? Why are you so grinding?"
Shang Xiucai was scolded badly. When he saw Gu Jinan looking at him with admiration, he finally put down his persistence and nodded: "Okay, I will accept you as my disciple."
Gu Jinan was very happy and kowtowed three times to Shang Xiucai: "Disciple pays homage to master."
When Shang Xiucai heard the master's voice, his eyes turned red again, and he helped Gu Jinan up: "Get up quickly."
Ouyang Hu was too lazy to look at their deep master-disciple relationship and asked Gu Jinan, "Did you bring anyone else here?"
As Ah Qi had just said when he brought the tea, there were a few people beside the mule cart parked outside by the Gu family, who looked like farmers studying.
Gu Jinan nodded: "Well, they are a few brothers from the village and clan. They are all scholars. Two of them will also take the scientific examination in the next year. They want to visit Mr. Ouyang. Please give me some advice."
Ouyang Hu was in a good mood today. He waved his hand and said, "Call them in and let me take a look."
"Hey, students, go and call them in." Gu Jinan did not dare to delay, and while Ouyang Hu was happy, he hurriedly called in the three brothers He Jinsheng and Gu Dexing.
He Jinsheng and Gu Dexing were very excited. When they saw Ouyang Hu, they didn't know how to release their hands.
On the contrary, it was Gu Defa who took the lead in saying to Ouyang Hu: "Hello, grandpa."
Its just three words, its clear and concise, and its quite stable.
Gu Dewang's hands were itchy again, and he couldn't help but slap Gu Defa on the back of the head: "What, grandpa, this is Mr. Ouyang. Let's start again and say more words of praise."
Gu Defa accepted the teachings with an open mind: "Hello, Mr. Ouyang, I wish you good fortune and prosperity."
You are quite interesting. Mr. Ouyang laughed and became interested and asked him, Do you want to become my teacher?
Gu Defa shook his head: "No, it's just that my mother wants our brother to come visit you and establish a relationship or something. My mother wants to be the wife of Gaoming, and she thinks that her dream can come true by dating a few noble people."
Mr. Ouyang: "Is your mother Chen? I have seen her before. She has a sharp tongue and scolded that person until she was unable to resist."
He looked at Gu Defa and couldn't believe that a woman like Chen could give birth to such a son.
"Your mother wants to be the wife of Emperor Gaoming, so do you want to be an official?" Ouyang Hu asked again.
Gu Defa said: "If you can become an official without taking the imperial examination, I will do it."
What he replied was what Gu Jinli had asked him before.
Mr. Ouyang's mouth twitched: "Then you were born too late. If you had been born a hundred years earlier, you could have been recommended as an official in the previous dynasty."
Gu Defa nodded seriously: "Well, as Sister Xiaoyu said, I was indeed born late."
Ouyang Hu:
He couldn't stop laughing and looked at Gu Dewang and Gu Dexing: "Are you brothers with him? They look a bit similar."
Gu Dewang said: "I am his biological brother, and Brother Dexing is our cousin. We are cousins from the same grandma."
Ouyang Hu nodded: "No wonder they look a bit alike." "Hello, Mr. Ouyang." Gu Dexing saluted Ouyang Hu awkwardly, feeling quite nervous.
Ouyang Hu nodded and looked at He Jinsheng: "You two elders are going to take the merit examination next year? Do you want me to give you some advice?"
He Jinsheng nodded to Gu Dexing: "Yes sir."
Ouyang Hu: "Okay, Brother Cheng will come to class in the future, and you can follow him to listen."
He then pointed at Gu Defa and said, "Brothers, come too. You are very interesting. Come and have class together so that you won't get bored."
Gu Defa was not shocked at all, and just nodded: "Go back and ask my mother, and come if she agrees."
Gu Dewang asked Shu Xiu: "Is Shu Xiu expensive? If it is too expensive, my mother will be reluctant to part with the money."
Ouyang Hu wants to beat people, but he is willing to teach them, but they are afraid that Shu Xiu is too expensive and don't want to come!
"Twelve taels of silver per person per year is what your family can afford." After Ouyang Hu said this, he looked at Gu Dexing and He Jinsheng: "You two are talking, why are you so stunned?"
"Ah? Really, really?!" He Jinsheng and Gu Dexing came to their senses and couldn't believe that Ouyang Hu would readily agree. Mr. Xia had dismissed them before.
Ouyang Hu nodded: "Of course it's true. Don't be verbose. I'll give you an hour to each write a policy about farming."
Added another sentence: "An Ge'er also wants to write."
Gu Dexing and He Jinsheng were shocked. Is the exam about to take place now?
Gu Jinan reminded them: "Brother Dexing and Brother Jinsheng hurry up, let's go write a policy paper."
"Oh, come on." Gu Dexing and He Jinsheng bowed to Mr. Ouyang again and then followed Gu Jinan, and were led by Aqi to the study to write a policy paper.
Mr. Ouyang began to give lectures to Brother Cheng and Brother Qing, while brothers Gu Dewang and Shang Xiucai were listening.
Shang Xiucai was very impressed. Mr. Ouyang didn't use books in his lectures, but what he said were articles that Cheng Geer should learn at his age.
After talking for an hour, he stopped and gave Brother Cheng and Brother Qing homework: "Your homework today is to write down everything I said."
Gu Dewang was confused. The old man kept talking for an hour, and finally asked Brother Cheng to write down everything he said... What kind of homework is this? You will cry to death!
Gu Dewang looked at Brother Cheng, but Brother Cheng said as if he was used to it: "Yes, the student knows, and will hand in his homework tomorrow."
Zheng Qing's memory is not that good. He is frowning and feeling a little worried.
Gu Dewang expressed sympathy, the county magistrate's son is in such a miserable condition!
Gu Defa glanced at his brother and wanted to remind him: The fat old man has promised to teach us, and we have to study with him in the future. We will also have to do this kind of torturous homework in the future.
"Sir, I have finished writing the policy statement of several brothers. Please read it over." A Qi brought the policy statement written by Gu Jinan and others. Ouyang Hu took it and read it carefully.
Gu Dexing and He Jinsheng stood aside and waited anxiously, but until the end, Mr. Ouyang did not make any comments on their strategies. He only said to them: "Okay, I know your background. Go back, I won't let you eat." .
ah?
Gu Dexing and He Jinsheng were confused again, so let them go? The two of them were very worried and asked Gu Jinan with their eyes: Is our strategy written so poorly that Mr. Ouyang doesn't even bother to comment?
Mr. Ouyang saw that they were really nervous, thinking that they would end in two months, and the Chinese New Year was coming soon, so they had to have a good New Year, so he said: "You all have a pretty good foundation."
In fact, He Jinsheng is too mediocre and not very familiar with farm affairs. Even if he can pass the exam next year, he will be at the bottom.
