During dinner in the evening, shopkeeper Yu praised Zhu Qi to the people at the table, saying how great he was. He was obviously a fool, but he was also very good at reading.

When he was talking, he didn't forget to compare it with his son Yu Fei. He turned around and talked about Yu Fei: "Look at you, a fool can study. What if you can't even compare to a fool in the future?"

?”

Yu Fei, who was being fed by his wet nurse, looked unhappy: "Dad, what are you talking about? How can I not be better than a fool?"

"It's weird that you have to compete." Shopkeeper Yu told the story about how Ye Yuran brought his son to the door during the day to ask him to introduce the school and his husband.

"So awesome? Is it true?" Mrs. Yu was a little confused when she heard it. "No wonder you suddenly asked the waiter to come back to get Feifei's book during the day. What did I think you were doing?"

"Of course it's true, I tested it myself."

"Have you carried it before?"

Shopkeeper Yu said: "I even smoked the "Book of Changes", casually. Your son Feifei has been studying with your husband for several years. Do you think he has this ability?"

Mrs. Yu looked at her son and said silently: "..."

Yu Fei looked innocent.

However, hearing his father emphasize that someone is a fool while praising someone for being smart did make him feel a little uncomfortable.

He swore not to let him see the man named Zhu, otherwise he would make him look good.

At this time, Zhu Qike didn't know that he had been "missed" by others. He was happily chewing on the chicken legs.

Because of the killing of a chicken, the Zhu family's dining table became particularly lively.

Ye Yuran took advantage of the excitement and announced that arrangements would be made in a few days to send Dabao, Erbao and Zhu Gong to study in the town.

Since we had already greeted each other, everyone was well prepared, so we weren’t too surprised.

Old Man Zhu only cares: "Is there enough money? The fields will be plowed in spring soon, and the money for grain seeds must be set aside."

Ye Yuran looked at him calmly: "Don't worry, I won't leave our land empty."

As for what she was planting, she couldn't guarantee it.

"Just make the arrangements." Old Zhu didn't say any more.

Zhu Da and Zhu Wu were left at home to dig the ground. After receiving the news from shopkeeper Yu, Ye Yuran took Zhu San, Zhu Qi, Dabao and Erbao out early in the morning.

They all put on the new clothes they bought for the New Year and packed them up.

Thanks to Ye Yuran's foresight at that time, he didn't let Mr. Liu wear bright red and green clothes. Dabao and Erbao were dressed in green shirts and followed Zhu Qi of the same color. They really looked like uncle and nephew.

Different from them, Zhu San's clothes are darker and he feels more calm and sophisticated.

Ye Yuran tidied up very energetically. Although there were not many decorations, her hair was neatly tied and her clothes were decent. At first glance, she did not look like an ordinary old farm lady.

"Aunt Zhu, this is Mr. Chen from Orchid Academy." Shopkeeper Yu introduced them to Mr. Chen.

Mr. Chen did not move in his seat, with a cold and arrogant expression. However, scholars in this era always felt that they were superior to others, so no one found his attitude strange, except Ye Yuran.

"Mr. Chen, good afternoon."

Zhu Qi, Dabao and Erbao also followed Ye Yuran and said hello to Mr. Chen: "Good afternoon, Mr. Chen."

"Which one wants to study?" Mr. Chen got straight to the point, "I'll start with the ugly words first. I came here just for the sake of Shopkeeper Yu. I run a book school, not an inn, so just anyone can come if they want.

Come on, he can only come in if he passes my test. If he fails, you can't blame others."

It's a show of force in person.

——Hmph! Do you really think anyone is qualified to study?

In order to avoid misunderstanding, shopkeeper Yu had already given hints before, saying that the students coming back this time were somewhat special - not that smart, but better at reading.

So when Zhu Qi came in with his two nephews, Mr. Chen watched very carefully. When he noticed something was wrong with Zhu Qi, he immediately became unhappy.

——Ha! Just a fool. Can a fool know how to read?

I feel like Shopkeeper Yu regards him as a fool, otherwise why would he introduce a fool to him as a student?

"Well, yes, yes, if you want to study in a book school, you must take a test. Back then, my Feifei was tested by his husband and only entered the book school after passing the test..." Shopkeeper Yu also didn't expect that Mr. Chen was so unreliable.

Giving myself "face" makes me feel unhappy.

But when I thought about my son being in other people's hands, I could only laugh and smooth things over.

Ye Yuran: "Then let's test it."

That's what he said, but under his unchanged expression, someone felt a little confused in his heart.

——Can such a person really treat Zhu Qi fairly?

Outside the hall, Zhu San did not follow him in, but sat on a stone chair in the yard and waited there.

At this time, a little boy ran over: "Are you Zhu Shunde?"

Zhu San was stunned for a moment before he realized that this was Lao Qi's name: "No, I am his third brother. How do you know my seventh brother's name?"

He raised his head and said: "My brother said that my father wanted to introduce a fool to my husband as his student. Isn't that why my husband came to my house today?"

Although Zhu San usually thinks that his seventh brother is a fool, when this word comes out of other people's mouth, he feels a little uncomfortable: "My seventh brother is not a fool, he just reacts slower than ordinary people."

."

"Slower?" He tilted his head, not quite understanding, "Isn't that a fool?"

Zhu San had no way to explain to him, so he could only change the subject: "What's your name?"

"Yu Peng, my name is Yu Peng, the Peng who spreads his wings."

"Then what's your brother's name?"

"Yu Fei."

…

He has two children at home, and Zhu San still has some skills when it comes to coaxing the children.

After a while, he coaxed the unsuspecting Yu Peng into revealing the family's interpersonal relationship. It turned out that shopkeeper Yu had four children, the eldest son Yu Fei and the younger son Yu Peng were both children of the first wife, and the second girl

He was born to a concubine, and the third son was born to his wife.

Yu Peng complained to him that the eldest brother had a lot of homework every day and had no time to play with him; the second sister also wanted to learn female celebrities, and although the third brother had time, his mother did not let him play with him.

"Alas... the world of adults is so complicated!" Later, he sighed like an adult.

Zhu San was amused by him. He found some grass leaves and made a grasshopper for him: "Do you like it?"

"Wow! You're so awesome!" Yu Peng's eyes widened and he couldn't believe it. He took it over happily, "Brother Zhu San, can you be my brother from now on? If only I were as good at making things up as you are.

Brother, that’s fine.”

"Hahaha...I can make up this one." Zhu San smiled.

He really didn't lie. There was nothing to coax children in the countryside. His father used this to coax him when he was a child, and then he learned it himself.

It's just a pity that although there are two nephews in the family, the eldest brother has already used this method to coax them, and their uncles are no longer "good" when it is their turn.

As his own child was still too young to use it, he didn't expect to coax it from Shopkeeper Yu's house first.

"Fourth Young Master, Fourth Young Master, where are you?" Faintly, someone was heard shouting.

"Did that call you?" Zhu San asked, thinking of Yu Peng's ranking.
