Although Wang Sanlang had only been in the sect for half a month, he could see that there was a lot of competition in the sect. The classmates were either comparing their backgrounds or their studies. Although they were not very young, they were all snobbish.
It is difficult for my younger brother to excel in his family background and academic performance, and he is inevitably criticized by others.
He doesn't think about whether his younger brother will embarrass his family, but he thinks that his younger brother is at home, and he is enlightened at the same age as himself at the age of three, so he may not be inferior to him. In the final analysis, it is his elders who have delayed his younger brother.
He originally looked forward to taking his younger brother to school as soon as possible, but he didn't expect to catch up with the big exam, so he hesitated. He was just worried that poor grades would damage his younger brother's self-esteem.
Wang Qinghong felt a little strange in his heart. He came from Zongxue. Of course he knew the rules of Zongxue. There was a test every quarter. Now was not the time for a big test.
Why is it suddenly necessary to take the exam at this time? What is the reason?
He couldn't think of what it was for the moment, thinking that he would take Shiro to visit the clan leader and the elders in charge of the clan tomorrow, so he put it aside in advance and asked Sanro about his studies instead.
Wang Sanlang said: "The teacher said that the child's literature was quite good when he was a child, and he told the child to encourage Liulang more." At this point, some people said sarcastically: "Liulang doesn't seem to like the child, and it is not good for the child to be too demanding."
Wang Liulang is the younger brother of Wang Zhen and the cousin of Wang Qi. Before Wang Sanlang returned to his hometown, Wang Liulang was the most outstanding among the younger generation of the Wang family. However, after the twelfth room returned to his hometown, Wang Sanlang entered the sect. Even though he was not a pushy person, he
She excelled in her studies, and her husband liked her and praised her several times, which made Wang Liulang angry.
Wang Qinghong himself was born as a young talented man. He came here under the jealousy of his clan brothers. He knew that his son was in trouble and said: "Don't pay attention to it. You have learned everything you need to learn from the Four Books, Five Classics and Shiwen. Let you enter the clan school."
It's just to get to know a few more clan brothers who are speculating. When the end of next year comes, you will go to the state to study. What's the point of arguing with them?"
Wang Sanlang nodded, obviously neither father nor son cared about next year's boy test.
When the Tao Chi came back, Wang Qinghong did not deliberately ask about Xishan. Wang Sanlang went to the Taoist Courtyard and took the Dao Chi to the study in a serious manner to test his homework.
It can be said that except for the big characters, everything else is not acceptable in Wang Sanlang's eyes.
He looked at the Taoist idiot with a little worry and said, "Silang, how about I come and teach you the Four Books in the next few days?"
Because of the religious examination, he made a special trip to tell his father that he originally wanted to postpone his younger brother's admission to school. But when he met the Taoist idiot, he felt that his thinking was wrong.
Since Dao Chi has returned home, he should go to school at this age. If he really wants to delay his enrollment, he will look too deliberate in the eyes of others. According to his father's normal behavior, he may not be willing to let Shiro delay his enrollment.
After hearing Wang Sanlang's words, the Taoist idiot was a little surprised: "Don't the Four Books be taught as soon as you enter the sect?"
Wang Sanlang said: "There are two classes in the Zongxue. The Mongolian class enters the school at the age of seven and learns three hundred thousand. The Four Books are taught at the age of nine. Since the school usually only accepts new students in the first month, the Four Books are mostly explained in the first half of the year.
, I’ve almost talked about it now.”
The Taoist idiot said: "My father has high hopes for the third brother, so how can he delay his studies because of my affairs? It doesn't matter to me. At worst, I will learn other things first, and then focus on listening to the Four Books in the first half of next year."
Seeing him like this, Wang Sanlang couldn't say much. He just thought that if his brother really went to Zongxue, he would not let him suffer any injustice. When he left Zongxue the next year, he begged Wang Qi to take more care of him.
.
With everything in mind, he calmed down and talked to the Taoist idiot about the general situation in the sect...

The next day, after breakfast, Wang Qinghong took Dao Chi to the clan house to pay respects to the clan leader.
In just two days, the sewing room has already made several sets of clothes for the Taoist idiot. Now the Taoist idiot is wearing light green dark clothes with a blue blessing scarf on his head. He looks like a handsome young man, which is completely different from the bald little monk half a month ago.
different.
Mr. Wang took a few more glances and praised: "He is as handsome as Sanlang. He has a bit of the style of Qinghong's nephew back then. Qinghong is so lucky."
Wang Qinghong said: "Whether he can live up to his expectations or not is a matter of two questions. Apart from other things, in terms of homework, Shiro lags far behind his brothers from other clans."
Mr. Wang smiled and said: "He is only a little older, and it is too late to pursue him now. Even if Qinghong hopes that his son will become a successful child, he must let him take his time, and he will not let Qinghong down in the end."
Wang Qinghong said: "I respect your uncle's teachings."
Mr. Wang hesitated for a moment and said, "Have you decided on Shiro's name?"
Hearing this sentence, even the Taoist idiot who was doing quail behind Wang Qinghong couldn't help pricking up his ears and looking at Wang Qinghong. In the past two days after entering the Wang's house, he only knew that Wang Sanlang's single name was "Jun", which means beautiful jade.
I don’t even know what the name of this body’s owner is.
Now after hearing what Mrs. Wang meant, I realized that his name had never been mentioned.
According to the rules of the Wang family, when a boy enters the family tree at the age of five, he will be given a famous name long before that. The Taoist idiot is already eleven years old and does not have a famous name yet. He was just abandoned in his hometown. Wang Qinghong, the old man, forgot about this.
However, since he took his son home the day before yesterday, Wang Qinghong also thought of Shiro's name.
Whether it is to enter the ancestral school or to read the genealogy, Taoist idiots need a famous name.
The Taoist idiots of his generation were all like King Xie. For some reason, when Wang Qinghong thought of naming his concubine, the first thing that came to his mind was "Min".
"Min" is a stone that looks like jade, but it is not jade.
In his heart, they are both sons, but the difference between concubine and concubine is the difference between jade and stone. Although he was dissatisfied with his wife, he also complained about being forced by his mother to take his cousin as a concubine.
Even if some idiots are better off due to guilt, they will not outweigh the two legitimate sons.
But now when asked by the old patriarch, and in front of the Taoist idiot, Wang Qinghong didn't even say the word "Min" when it came to his lips. He said by mistake: "It's decided, it's the word Jin."
Mr. Wang nodded and said: "Great kindness is a beautiful jade, and it is a metaphor for virtue. This word is well chosen."
Dao Chi listened and felt quite satisfied. Although there were many characters next to "Xiewang", the ones used as names were only the commonly used ones. However, the word "Jin" still read well in meaning.
Next, Mrs. Wang called a boy and ordered the Taoist to go and play with Qilang.
Although Dao Chi was not familiar with Wang Qilang, there was nothing he could do about it. It seemed that the two of them had something to say to avoid him.
Mr. Wang asked about the matter of Dao Chi's genealogy, whether to arrange it in the near future, or to wait until the family festival at the end of the year to add names.
Wang Qinghong said: "There is no need to mobilize people, we can just wait until the end of the year."
Seeing that he, the rightful owner, was not in a hurry, Mr. Wang didn't force anything.
Wang Qinghong asked Mrs. Wang about the religious examination. As expected, Mrs. Wang knew the inside story.
"Your cousin sent word that the princess plans to choose a reading companion for the crown prince. What your cousin means is that the crown prince's reading companion will probably work as an errand in the palace in the future. The children in the family who are not interested in the imperial examination can give it a try. As old people do,
Look, it’s okay to aspire to take the imperial examination. The palace is just a small court, and it’s always good for the children to have the opportunity to see the world. When the time comes, if they want to take the exam, the palace will not stop them.” Old Mrs. Wang said.
Since the founding of the country, there have been only two vassal kings in Anlu Prefecture. Prince Ying, the son of Emperor Taizu, vassalized Anlu a hundred years ago and had no sons to withdraw from the vassal. The remaining one is King Xing, the uncle of the current emperor.
There are one concubine and one concubine in Prince Xing's mansion. Princess Xing was born in Zhili, and Prince Xing's wife Wang is the daughter of Mrs. Wang.
Accepting the Wang family into the palace was also a proactive show of favor by the palace to the local gentry.
The Wang family doesn't expect to be the best in the world, but they just want to gain some advantages. Otherwise, how can they be willing to take their legitimate daughter as a concubine?
Although what Mrs. Wang said was right, Wang Qinghong frowned and said: "There are still two little princesses in the palace. At this time, let the children of the clan enter the palace as companions. What if the palace has other intentions?"
No wonder he was worried, the imperial court had already issued an edict that not only the prince-in-law, but also the guests of honor could not serve in official positions, but could only accept support from the state, and their close relatives must also be avoided. They were not allowed to hold examinations, and those with official positions were also required to avoid official positions and were not allowed to participate in political affairs.
Wang Jiagang studied in the family, and his children were prosperous. Of course, he did not care about the false name of the princess's honorary guest.
Mr. Wang said disapprovingly: "Even if you have other intentions, you will not go beyond the clan, otherwise you will either get married or become enemies. If the palace is interested in the Wang family, at most it will select three or five outstanding ones from the outside brothers and let the palace select them."
"
Wang Qinghong has already made up his mind. No matter what, he must let Sanlang and Silang avoid this selection of reading companions. Otherwise, if someone deliberately causes trouble and recommends Sanlang in the palace, it will not only ruin Sanlang's future, but also his father.
Not immune...
