Ye Yuran glared at him: "Who said your little brother is a fool? Do you think any fool can remember what he heard? Haven't you noticed that when I teach Dabao, Erbao and a few girls, I always teach you first?

Brother, do you want him to be responsible for teaching them?"

Zhu San recalled: "It seems like this."

Not to mention that I didn’t pay attention, but it’s true that when Dabao, Erbao and the younger sister have something they can’t remember, they will always ask the younger brother.

"He just reacts slowly and is too slow to understand the world. He is not really stupid. As long as he is taught well, he will definitely not be worse than you in reading." Ye Yuran said,

"What do you think the Tongsheng Examination is about? It's about memorizing things, which happens to be what your little brother is best at. I don't plan to let him achieve much, but since there is something he is good at, why not let him try it?

If he doesn't find a way out, what will he do for the rest of his life? I will be old one day, and you brothers will have your own lives one day. Who will he rely on to live on then? Instead of counting on you

, it is better to let him get some success in the exam, so that even if he is just a boy, he can live a stable life in the countryside."

Zhu San did not expect that his mother's favorite in the imperial examination would be his younger brother.

But after listening to his mother's analysis, he had to admit that the younger brother who seemed to have a "fairly good memory" seemed to be quite suitable. However, he still defended himself: "Actually, our brothers have pretty good memories, but they are not as good as my younger brother."

It’s just against heaven.”

I felt a little sour in my heart, feeling that my mother only considered a way out for my younger brother, but not for them.

Ye Yuran sighed: "Oh... isn't it because my family's conditions don't allow it? If my family has this condition, I will delay you guys? Now, I also want to understand, why wait until the family's conditions are better before sending it to me?

I've been waiting all my life, but I haven't seen the conditions at home get better, and I don't know if I can see it if I close my eyes."

"Mother..." Zhu San felt "sour" in his heart, but what made him "sour" was not that his mother wanted to send his younger brother and two nephews to school. What made him "sour" was - it turned out that mother had also thought about them, but

At that time, family conditions did not allow it.

"Mom has no other hope in this life, so I just thought, now that I'm this age, I'll give it one last try to see if I can put it together. I know it's difficult for a person to earn sixteen taels of silver, and I can't do it all at once.

I want to send the three of them to school together. I want your younger brother to go first, and Dabao and Erbao to follow, so that they can learn from your younger brother.

"The three of them must not be able to take care of themselves, so they want you to go. You are the smartest one in this family. As long as you are here, there will definitely be no problem in dealing with people. It just so happens that you also use this name to work in the family.

Stay away from the limelight and wait until next year or the year after that, when your younger brother passes the Tongsheng exam, you can come back... By that time, everyone will know what you are doing. As Tongsheng's brother, if you want to get a wife or something, you can

Pick a better one.”

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

"If you want to take the exam, that's fine. Anyway, your little brother has a good memory. He will definitely remember everything when he comes back after going to the school. You can ask him to teach you. Whether he passes the exam or not, you can learn from him. You can

If you want to take the exam, you should take it when the time comes."

The imperial examination is not easy these days. Even a small child examination includes three stages: county examination, government examination, and college examination. The county examination is usually presided over by the local magistrate. If you want to participate in the child examination, you need to have the same qualifications.

Only five candidates must be friends with each other and have a local student as a guarantor to take the exam.

Do you think security is free?

No, at least five taels of silver, not to mention the expenses on the road, without eight or ten taels, it is impossible to get it.

Therefore, even Ye Yuran couldn't guarantee that he would have the money for everyone to take part in the imperial examination. He could only queue up and come one by one. After all, in addition to the sixteen taels of training and the eighty taels of imperial examination fees,

At twenty or so taels, she felt that she still had a chance to get it.

Zhu San was completely moved.

"But this is something that will happen in the spring of next year. I'll tell you first so that you can have some peace of mind. Don't talk nonsense. Wait until next year." Ye Yuran said.

"I know, mother."

"In the next few days, I will start to teach you how to read. Memorizing it without knowing how to read is not enough. You also have to pay attention. If you can learn more, you can make a head start earlier. Mother naturally hopes that every one of you will

Everyone is doing well, but you also know that with so many people in the family and only a small source of income, there is only a limit to what I can do. If I can fight for it, I will fight for it. If I really can’t fight for it, there is nothing I can do."

"Mom, I understand, and I will cherish it. Mom, don't worry, I will definitely not let you down. When the time comes, I will definitely take good care of my younger brother, eldest child, and second child, and let them study hard, and they will be able to read no matter what.

Here comes a scholar." Zhu San felt that since the younger brother could pass the Tongsheng examination, the Dabao and Erbao would definitely not be worse than their brother-in-law.

I am older and started studying late, but they started studying at such a young age. How embarrassing would they be if they couldn't even compete with their idiot brother-in-law?

After this conversation, Zhu San's mood improved significantly. It seemed that he was no longer immersed in the "divorce" incident, but had the courage to move forward and work hard in that direction.

Zhu Si and Zhu Wu had no idea what was going on, so they all came over to ask, what good things did his mother say to him that made him so happy?

Zhu San grinned and said with a bit of stupidity: "Hey, you will know when the time comes."

Zhu Wu had goosebumps: "Third brother, don't imitate elder brother. Second brother, you are so stupid."

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

My mother felt that he was a little smart, so she asked him to learn from the boss and the second child on how to lower his own guard. This way, he would not be at a disadvantage easily when he arrived in town.

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

Maybe people don't dare to bully people who are smart on the outside, but people who are stupid on the outside but smart on the inside can sometimes take advantage of others.

Although he doesn't want to take advantage of others, he also hopes that others can provide him with more "convenience" when walking outside.

"I don't understand." Zhu Wu shook his head, "What on earth did mother tell you to make you so happy?"

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

"Third brother, come on, who among our brothers is following whom? Why don't you tell us? Tell us, there are good things to share."

"I just divorced my wife, what good things can happen? Let's go and go fishing. The dried fish my mother made last time was very delicious. My fourth daughter-in-law said it was very popular. Let's catch more and let the family eat more.

Women should make more and sell it."

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