Every morning, Xu Qian got up very early, then pulled Xu Chen out of the bed, and then the two of them went straight into the study, one in front and one behind. Xu Qian read the books on the bookshelf, while Xu Chen sat obediently on the other side to read and write.
The Xu family's tutor started with Xu Qian, and then passed on to Xu Chen, and it was probably not much easier. With the guidance of a famous teacher and the threat of an iron ruler, Xu Chen's academic progress was very fast. At least the four books could be barely memorized, but only God knows whether he can understand the meaning of it.
Xu Qian expected that this kind of leisurely life would not last long. It was not because of his personality, but because many things have been done, he could no longer turn back.
Xu Qian expected that something would be waiting for him soon.
Therefore, for Xu Chen's education, Xu Qian planned to hire a Sisimonshi and urge him. Otherwise, with Xu Chen's temperament, God would know what he would be like.
Fortunately, like Hangzhou, there are still more scholars than dogs. Many scholars who go to Beijing to take the exam are thousands of miles away from home and are not well-off, so they are willing to find a job that can review their homework and do decent work.
Of course, not everyone has the opportunity of Xu Qian, and there are many good yamen to hire a bookstore. This teacher is not a bad thing, especially for teaching some rich children, so they don’t need to bring a dozen babies to trouble, which saves a lot of worries.
Xu Qian deliberately asked Xu Fu, who was so idle, to go out to hire a person. It took only half a day for Xu Fu to find a candidate. He said with a gaze: "Young Master...Young Master... I really found a scholar. This person said that it is natural for the teacher to teach and answer questions. Xu Chen's cousin wanted to study, and he was willing to give him all his money. He also said that as long as the Xu family provides food, no other choice will be taken."
Xu Fu is a person who is attracted by money. The more he is stingy, the more he is. Now he is very enthusiastic to be a housekeeper for Xu Chang and his son. Although he is stingy, he is never greedy, so Xu Chang feels relieved of his nephew.
However, Xu Qian only believed Xu Fu's words at 80 points, not because he was afraid that he would be lazy and asked someone to make up for the numbers, but because this guy was too stingy, and his criteria for selecting people were mostly compared with the price of others.
Xu Qian doesn't believe such a good thing. The countryside elementary school teacher may only require food and accommodation. That's because his level is too low and he is embarrassed to ask the boss for money. Besides, although he doesn't have money, during festivals, the boss will still hold a few cents of silver. On the surface, he doesn't have money, but in fact he can still be more willing.
The market conditions in the capital are different. Generally, the betrothal fee is not low. Xu Qian even made plans to spend ten taels of silver a year. After all, the old man is now a hundred households in the Jinyiwei, and the wealth is abundant, so it is not a problem to raise a few more. He really dares not ask for such a money-free product.
But since they had already talked, they just came to see him. He called Xu Fu to call the person to the hall, and pretended to be careless and walked slowly into the hall to wait. After a while, a young scholar came in. This man was really a teenager, not much older than Xu Qian, and his clothes were not shabby. Although he was not a silk Confucian skirt, he was also of high-quality fabric.
Although the young man was young, he behaved appropriately. He bowed to Xu Qian and said with a smile: "The student's surname is He, how can I ask what Dongweng is called?"
Xu Qian smiled bitterly, Dongweng... The name is really weird. He hurriedly said, "My friend, please sit down. I think you are not from the capital?"
The young scholar sat down and said with a smile: "The student is from Ji'an, Jiangxi."
Hearing the word Ji'an, Xu Qian couldn't help but feel respect. Ji'an had talented men. In this Ming Dynasty, Ji'an had a lot of exams. After nearly three hundred years, the Ming Dynasty had encores and regular exams, and there were no more than one hundred palace exams. However, the Ji'an Prefecture in Jiangxi provided the Ming Dynasty with twelve Jinshi, accounting for more than 100 Jinshi in the entire Ming Dynasty. It is said that there were two talent-striking ceremonys that Ji'an actually won the top three, namely the top scholar, the second place, and the Tanhua both came from Ji'an Prefecture.
This kind of test-winning land is really unprovoked. You must know that the whole Zhejiang has only produced two or three top scorers so far, which is already amazing. However, compared with Ji'an, most of the test-winning people in Zhejiang have to cry and be willing to give in.
Not to mention the top scholar, there are even more Jinshi. At least what Xu Qian knows is that in this capital, there are more than 20 or 30 people with fifth ranks or above, and there are even more important positions. If we only count the ancestral homes, Yang Tinghe, the current chief minister of the cabinet, and his son Yang Shen, the leader of the three talented men of the Ming Dynasty, is actually considered a native of Ji'an, but his family moved to Sichuan later. However, the friendship between the fellow countrymen is still there, so in recent years, the people of Ji'an have become quite popular in the court.
Xu Qian quickly said solemnly: "I have heard of Guixiang Daming for a long time. Since He has come from where, I want to learn."
The young scholar smiled slightly and said, "The student has just passed the imperial examination this year and happened to be a student in the province."
The value of the Ji'an Mansion is extremely good, even more amazing than the Zhejiang-born student Xu Qian. Xu Qian was stunned and couldn't help but ask: "Why didn't my friend participate in the provincial examination in Jiangxi, but came to the capital?"
The young scholar said proudly: "It is enough to take a scholar exam. For students, fame is just a passing cloud."
Xu Qian was stunned for a moment. Isn’t this his catchphrase? Could this guy be a pirated version?
Then he heard the young scholar say, "The most important thing for scholars is to study. The sea of knowledge is endless. I should search for it. How can I waste my time and think about fame all day?" Then he sneered, "If you only study based on fame and fortune, then what is the point of reading this book? There are so many people in the world who are greedy for wealth and honor, and there are not many students."
After saying something... Xu Qian, who was drinking tea, almost spurted out the tea in his mouth.
Didn’t this grandson scold the bald man in front of a monk? If you want to be noble, others have to be greedy for wealth and fame, right? Xu Juren has just passed the imperial examination.
Xu Qian finally calmed down and couldn't help but think that he was an idealist nerd, so he asked him: "Since that's the case, why don't your friend go to study hard, but why do you teach?"
The scholar named He was just righteous, but he was a little embarrassed when he said this, and he said hesitantly: "To be honest, the student escaped from his home. He was in the capital and was short of money and could not ask for money from his home. Therefore, he was determined to find a quiet job. As long as he had a place to rest and had food to fill his stomach, he would be fine."
Xu Qian immediately understood that this scholar with a wonderful mind could not be tolerated by the world. Even his parents could not stand such a guy, so he wandered to the capital and had no food to eat. No wonder he looked glossy and did not look like a poor family, but he came to eat hunger and even did a teacher.
This person can be a junior student in Jiangxi. If he puts such a level in other places, it is easy to be a juren. Even if he is a master, he will have the opportunity to pass the exam. With his skills, he is more than enough to teach Xu Chen to study.
After all, I really got a big advantage. Then I smiled slightly and said, "Since that's the case, my cousin will have some friends, and when can I move in? How about starting today? How about teaching?
Seeing Xu Qian's pleasure, this 'He friend' became even more relaxed, licked his mouth, as if he was hungry, and hurriedly said: "The student is currently staying in Yuelai Inn, but there are still a few days left to settle the room. If he wants to move, it would be great if the mansion can send a few people to help. As for the room money..."
At this time, the young scholar's face suddenly dimmed. He was just righteous, but now he was covered in dust by several copper coins.
Xu Qian smiled slightly and said, "This is all a trivial matter. I'll let my cousin do it for you."
As soon as he said that, "He's friend" was obviously impatient and didn't hesitate. He quickly led Xu Fu, Xu Lu and Xu Shan, who were idle in the Xu family, to carry the salute. He had a lot of salutes, a total of several boxes, one of which was full of books. When Xu Qian greeted him, he happened to catch a glimpse. He couldn't help but think in his heart that this person could bring a box of books when he went out secretly. This person must have come from a wealthy family of scholars, otherwise even a wealthy family might not have so many books.
He ran away, probably with a few servants, otherwise who would carry so much luggage for him? Could it be that these people hurriedly followed the "Young Master" to the capital to play, but the young master was dizzy and refused to go back and was short of money, so everyone just ran away?
Xu Qian was concerned about this person's background. When he was having dinner at night, Xu Chang happened to be invited by someone to have a drink. Xu Qian accompanied this friend He to dinner. This guy was greedy. Although he was thin, his appetite was amazing. Xu Qian couldn't help but think: "Don't learn from this guy. If a person has an ideal, he will go hungry."
He suddenly remembered that he had not asked the other person's name yet, but he was just blamed for the shock that he had given him so much that he forgot to ask about this most basic thing. This guy probably thought of having sex with Xu Qian since he entered the door, so he had no intention of saying that now that he had enough wine and food, so he should have questioned it. Xu Qian said, "I dare to ask about the name of Mr.
Friend He burped, vomited a long breath, and then said, "The student is simple and not worth mentioning. His name is He Xinyin, and his other name is Zhuqian. Later, Dongweng can just call his student Zhuqian."
He Xinyin...
Xu Qian suddenly felt that he had been cheated again. He had the urge to drive this guy out of the house directly. He didn't know why he had lost so much trouble, but why did his family just attract a group of rebels and evil deeds.
Brother He was very famous twenty years later. Not only was he famous, but his deeds were also very good. This guy would become a general in his studies in a few years. The theory he advocated was even more terrifying. He even put forward the idea that "no father and no monarch are not just killing his father and monarch". This guy also impeached Yan Song, ran to scold Zhang Juzheng, and eventually died in prison.
