After leaving Shopkeeper Yu, Ye Yuran took his three sons, Zhu Da, Zhu San, and Zhu Qi, to visit several book schools in the town.

It is also a book school, but a book school and a book school are completely different.

When the city was built in this era, it was always "the east is noble, the west is noble, the south is poor, and the north is rich". Even the small town of Anjiu has such a style.

So the government offices are on the east side, and the bureaucratic residences are on the other side. The north is where the rich gather, and the south is where the poor are.

It's just that because Anjiu Town is relatively small, the boundaries are not so clear.

There are two book schools in Anjiu Town. Needless to say, the one in the east is headed by officials' children, because Mr. Bai's surname is Bai, and it is called Bai's Book School; the one in the west is mainly businessmen, and his surname is Chen, but the name of the book school is

However, the word "orchid" was given to it, and it was called "Orchid Book School", taking the meaning of orchid from "the gentleman in the flower".

The northwest two sides are relatively close, and there are not many boundaries. The Orchid Book School located in the middle line has great advantages. It can be said to be the largest book school in Anjiu Town.

Although he was also a failed candidate, because Mr. Bai ranked higher than Mr. Chen, he became more famous.

The two of them are also following the path of differentiated competition. Because the two book schools recruit different students, they have more or less their own characteristics.

As for the south, the people are still worried about filling their stomachs, and there are really not many people who study. So even if there is a place to study, it is just a temporary place set up by some scholar, only three or five people, not a book school.

Based on her family status at this time, Ye Yuran knew that Zhu Qi would definitely not be able to enter the Bai Family School. However, she still took them around the area and explained to them the secrets in a low voice.

Zhu Daxin is not here, and his mind is completely confused.

Zhu Qi looked at her with innocent eyes, knowing little about it, and just memorized the points his mother told him that should be paid attention to.

Only Zhu San listened very carefully and secretly remembered certain things in his heart.

In the future, he will take his younger brother and nephew to study in the town, and he will definitely interact with these scholars. Disciples from official families are different from disciples from rich families. Although Anjiu Town is only a small place, Bai's Book School can be so "different" from Orchid Book School.

”, then on the surface, students studying there will be distinguished.

At this time, Zhu San had more things to pay attention to.

Because of the memory of the original owner, Ye Yuran knew very clearly the particularities of studying for a young master from a wealthy family, and he could explain it very clearly.

In addition to the characteristics of the original owner of "Bagua" who served the young master back then, a group of people in his circle also compiled some information and provided it to Zhu San for reference.

"Third brother, these are things that happened at the time when my mother was there. Scholars like to keep ancient records, so I speculate that there have been some changes over the years, and I should be able to figure out some routines. As for you, you always ask about it every time you come to town, so

You have to be more discerning and pay attention to what needs to be paid attention to." Ye Yuran emphasized, "Things that can be settled with money are not problems. We would rather solve it with money than offend these young masters, understand?"

Zhu San nodded: "I understand, mother."

He has inquired a lot these days, and is constantly trying to make conclusions. Naturally, he also knows that these officials' children must not be offended.

If someone has a background and power, they will mess with you behind your back, put you in a dungeon, etc., and you will have to shed a layer of your skin.

For rich people, it's just a matter of money, but for poor people like them, it's impossible to spend so much money to settle the matter, so they can only survive on their own.

"Anyway, you have to remember that you are here to study, and you will not interfere with anything else if you can." Ye Yuran said, "The lower the profile, the better. Now we have asked shopkeeper Yu, if he recommends Mr.

If it's really his son, you have to find a way to deal with his son, so that with his son taking care of him in the school, Lao Qi can suffer less."

"If the person you recommend is the gentleman from the south, even if he is just a small scholar, you should show your attitude and treat him with courtesy. Don't offend others."

"There are everyone in the school, and those who can send their children to study will definitely have better conditions than our family. Keep a low profile, but we are not asking you to 'bow down' without dignity."

"Create a clear path. If anyone dares to bully you, if they bully you too much, they will be beaten back by me without even saying a word."

…

Ye Yuran didn't let them really fight, but used some other methods to make the other party "suffer a loss and not be able to say anything". That would be the real "fight back".

Orchid Book School looks bigger than Bai's Book School, but in order to get rid of other people's impression of businessmen as "low-class", Mr. Chen also spent a lot of effort on the outside of the walls and the door.

It was just this approach that made Ye Yuran feel like "a tiger cannot be compared to a dog", and he frowned slightly.

She confirmed with Zhu San that the "Mr. Chen" he had inquired about was really "unstained from the mud" and was very kind?

"That's what they said." Zhu San affirmed.

Ye Yuran felt that Mr. Chen might not be as "magnanimous" as he seemed on the surface.

In fact, this is not without some signs. For example, the name of the good Chen's Book School is "orchid". Isn't it clear that you look down on the children of businessmen?

The children of merchants could study, but if they wanted to take the imperial examination, there was basically no hope - because the laws of the dynasty stipulated that the sons of merchants had no right to participate in the imperial examination.

Of course, there are exceptions to the emperor's amnesty, but those who can be granted pardon by the emperor will definitely not appear in Anjiu Town. They must be among the top wealthy businessmen in the country and have made great contributions to the court.

For example, take half of your family property in exchange.

"Lao San, if Lao Qi really enters Orchid Book School, you will have to get close to the neighbors and ask them about the preferences of Mr. Chen and his family, especially the details."

"Details can reflect many problems, and some clues can help you understand what kind of person this person is."

"You have to make your own judgment and don't always listen to what others say."

…

In addition to these two, Ye Yuran also took the two scholars from the south around for a tour.

Different from the previous one where there was at least one book school, the one in the back was just a place at home, a room, a few benches, and a few books, and that was it.

Although Zhu San had inquired about it before, this time Ye Yuran came to see it, mainly to analyze it with him and let him learn this "process".

For example, look at how people clean up their front doors, whether they are strict or casual.

Combining these contents with the information I heard before, I have some confidence. But in order to confirm, I need to "face-to-face" with this family.

At this time, Ye Yuran's golden finger was very useful. As soon as he came to the door and asked for a drink, he heard a "bump" and a bowl fell to the ground.

"You can't live in this life. You know that people are poor and have no money. If you don't have to worry about repairs, have you ever considered our family?" A woman shouted angrily into the yard, "Does our family have anything?
