Chapter 27 Apprenticeship (1)
A few days later, shopkeeper Sun sent a clerk to inform Li Xin that the family selling the house had moved away. The clerk also brought the key to the house.
Li Xin took his younger brothers and sisters to the town to disturb the house and bought some necessary furniture and various daily necessities. When Yuexiang and Yueting arrived at the house, they touched here and there and saw the pond in the backyard.
She especially liked the lotus flowers inside, and Yue Ting even wanted to live here.
Li Xin saw that his two younger sisters liked this place very much, so he also thought about taking them to stay for two days. At this time, there was nothing to do at home, but it was nothing to be away from home for a few days. He was very happy to see his younger siblings.
I liked the backyard, so I tidied up the small building in the backyard first. The small building had six rooms, which were quite wide, so they all lived in the backyard.
The next day, Li Xin took Wenbo and the others to go shopping on the street, mainly buying things like the Four Treasures of the Study for Wenbo and Wenhao. He also bought a few gifts for the two gentlemen in the academy, which were not very cheap.
, we can’t let people look at it as shabby or expensive. If it’s too expensive, I’m afraid the two gentlemen won’t accept it.
After everything was bought, Li Xin asked Yuexiang to take Yueting at home on the next day, while she took brothers Wenbo and Wenhao to the academy.
The location of the academy is a bit remote, some distance from the main street of the town. However, the academy is not a place for business. It is better to be more remote. If it is in a downtown area, it will affect the students' study. The scale of the academy is real
It's not big. It covers an area of about an acre. In the front is a small building, which is the classroom where students study. At the back is a yard with a row of houses. This is the residence of two gentlemen.
,
Entering the academy, you can hear the loud sounds of students reading. This scene has been absent for a long time. Li Xin felt that there has never been a moment like this moment, and she felt that the sound was so kind. She was also very kind in her previous life.
Over the past few years, nearly twenty years of hard study, primary school, junior high school, high school, and then university. I slowly grew from a four-year-old child to an adult. During those years, most of my time was spent in school.
spent in the middle.
She went to elementary school in the town, and her grandpa's house was only half an hour's walk from the town. So when she was in elementary school, she always lived at her grandpa's house. She went to school early in the morning every day, and then went home for lunch.
Then she went to school, had dinner after school, went to self-study in the evening, and then went home. She had to walk that journey many times a day, and she could almost feel the way home with her eyes closed.
Later, when she was in junior high school, she was far away from home, so she lived in the study house. She would go home after school on Friday afternoons, and then go to school on Sunday afternoons. Then she went to high school in the county, so she was even further away from home.
It's far. The distance actually doesn't matter, but high school is very busy with classes and there is hardly much time for rest. There is only half a day of rest a week. After class on Sunday morning, you can rest for an afternoon and resume class in the evening.
The holiday is only once a month. In the fourth week, after classes are over on Saturday morning, you can rest, but you still have to go back to school on Sunday night.
So at that time, the rest time was equally busy. After class, I hurried to the station to buy tickets and then go home. Sometimes I bought the tickets too late and it was already dark when I got home. Have a dinner at home
, sleep one night, and then have to buy tickets and rush to school early the next morning.
After arriving at university, she naturally moved further away from home, and could only go home once every semester. Later, after her grandparents passed away, she never went back. For her, from that time on, she no longer had
Home.
In those years, it seemed that all the youth was spent on studying. As people grow up slowly, the days they can spend with their loved ones become less and less. Sometimes I think about it, life is easy; living is also easy.
But life was so difficult. I was busy and studied hard for nearly twenty years. In the end, it was just to survive, to survive in an era of rapid economic development with enough food and clothing.
Sometimes she felt that instead of working hard in a big city, it would be better to plant some fields in the countryside, or grow food to satisfy her hunger, or grow some fruits and vegetables to sell.
"Sister, what's wrong with you?" Wenbo suddenly asked.
"It's nothing." Li Xin suddenly came back to her senses. She thought she didn't care much about that past life anymore, but unexpectedly, she would think of those things in her past life. After all, she had lived there for more than twenty years, so many times.
As the years have passed, many things have been integrated into life unconsciously. In fact, they have long been inseparable.
She may not miss the life there, but every bit of it has already been integrated into her life. Perhaps, throughout her life, she will not be able to completely put aside what she knew and learned in her previous life!
After the two gentlemen finished class, Li Xin took Wen Bo and Wen Hao to meet him. Mr. Xu was a middle-aged man in his fifties. Apart from the elegant aura about him, he seemed to be no different from ordinary middle-aged people.
He is a bit thin and looks like a frail scholar. He has a two-inch long beard, which is neatly groomed and not messy. Maybe he is older and has seen more things, so there is always a sense of insight in his eyes.
He is open-minded in world affairs. He looks like a very kind person and speaks very gently. He should be someone who is easy to get along with.
Mr. Zhou, on the other hand, is very young and looks very gentle. In addition, he has an outstanding appearance and is elegant and handsome. He has a gentle and jade-like feeling.
When Li Xin saw the two of them, he first presented the gifts he had brought and explained his purpose of coming. Mr. Xu’s class was enough, because the teaching building was not big and there could not be many people inside. Fortunately, Mr. Zhou’s
There was still room in that class, so Li Xin asked Wen Bo and Wen Hao to go to Mr. Zhou's class.
Shopkeeper Sun told me that although Mr. Xu had not passed the imperial examination for many years, he was very good at teaching. Among the students he taught, several were admitted to the imperial examination and two were admitted to the imperial examination. I heard that
There is another person who won the Jinshi. Although his ranking is not high, he can be regarded as a Jinshi. I heard that he was sent abroad to become a county magistrate.
The student who won the Jinshi came back to thank Mr. Xu, so Mr. Xu was still very famous. Not only did people from this town come to be his disciple, but people from surrounding towns also came. Although Mr. Zhou
He was already a scholar at a young age, and he even ranked second in the exam, which was a very good result. However, Mr. Zhou had just come to teach, so he naturally had no achievements, so his reputation was not as great as that of Mr. Zhang. Of course, at this age
It is considered a great thing to become a scholar, so many people are willing to bring their children to be taught by him.
