Chapter 274 The old lady's plan
The imperial examination is a major event in a person's life. No one wants to miss any chance that he may pass the exam. Moreover, this opportunity has been placed in front of them. If they don't know how to seize it, they would be stupid.
Before, Zhou Yusheng and Ye Maosheng thought these three were the "rich young men" who came in through the back door, but after listening for a while, they vaguely felt that maybe they were wrong. They were not the "rich young men" who came in through the back door, but...
"You are also candidates who will end next year?" Mr. Yao looked at the two scholars in front of him who were born poor, "Then why don't you study at home and come here to study?"
As soon as these words came out, Mr. Yao kicked the foot on the table.
"Why kick me?"
Mr. Yao simply wanted to kick him to death, and his eyes looked at the murderer: "Shut up!"
Mr. Yao shrank his neck, his face full of dissatisfaction, and muttered: "If it weren't for outsiders, I wouldn't give you this face..."
Because I was very quiet, it made people feel a little confused.
Uncle Yao, who guessed something, pulled the test paper on the table and said to Zhou Yusheng and Ye Maosheng, who changed the topic, said: "You are talking about this test paper. This is the test paper collected by the old lady in the family who specially found someone to collect in the county test questions in various places. Isn't this going to end next year, but we didn't study hard normally, and the old lady was afraid that we would not win, so she asked us to practice more and hold a Buddha's foot temporarily..."
In order to compensate for the "mistake" made by Mr. Yao, Mr. Yao generously invited the two to "review questions" together.
Zhou Yusheng, Ye Maosheng didn't care about Yao Erye's "offensive". That guy seemed to be speechless at first glance, but he actually had no malice.
What they cared more about was the "test questions" that Mr. Yao mentioned. He expressed his gratitude excitedly, saying that they were worried about not having any information to review. Mr. Yao's suggestion was simply "sending carbon in the snow."
Mr. Yao is so kind-hearted. The Yao family is indeed from the lineage. The family style is very positive. Will the old lady beg their poor students to have no place to read books? They are so cold that they have no business and open the door of the bookstore.
How lucky they are to meet such a good person.
The tone is sincere, thank you again and again.
Since Mr. Yao has invited the other party to "approach the questions", it doesn't matter to Mr. Yao. Anyway, he knows his abilities, and he is afraid that one person will fail the exam. One more competitor and one less competition will not make him any difference.
As for Master Yao San, he has never had the right to interrupt.
Sure enough, compared with Mr. Yao, Mr. Yao San, and Zhou Yusheng, Ye Maosheng, who had not studied much, he was enlightened and studied since he was a child, and he had been studying for several years.
When they "meaned the questions", they could only answer the answers dryly and couldn't say much.
But now with Zhou Yusheng and Ye Maosheng, whenever there is something to explain, the two of them are very well-informed and can also integrate it. From the point to the surface, they will sort out all the knowledge involved for you.
Mr. Yao felt like he had a treasure.
When Yao Anhong finally finished his work and was sent by the old lady Gu Qingling in person with her review materials, several people in the bookstore were already very close to the questions.
Zhou Yusheng, when Ye Maosheng saw that the old lady behind the bookstore came, he naturally thanked and greeted him.
Gu Qingling waved her hand, not caring much, saying that she didn't help, but just asked the bookstore to open a few more days, and it was not for them to open it specifically. It was their own "luck" to use it for them.
Then the two introduced Yao Anhong, saying that this kid has been weak since childhood, but he is a person who loves reading.
Look, his father and uncle are about to end next year, and he also wants to join in the fun.
Fortunately, one sheep was driven by, and two sheep were driven by, so I asked the two scholars to "bring" them together.
After handing over Yao Anhong, Gu Qingling smiled and said that there was something wrong, so she would not disturb them and leave.
Zhou Yusheng, who was stuffed with Yao Anhong in his hand, was a little confused:... Wait, aren't they taking advantage of the Yao family? Why do you feel like the old lady taking advantage of them now?
I always feel that something is wrong, but I can't tell what is wrong.
After leaving the bookstore, Gu Qingling was in a very good mood.
The eldest maid Chuntian saw the corners of her lips raised and asked, "Old Lady, you didn't mean to send Young Master Hong over on purpose just now, right?"
"Did you see it?"
"I can see now." The eldest maid Chuntian answered very honestly. When she first came out, she only felt that the old lady was in a very good mood and felt something was wrong.
But now when the old lady said that, she was sure.
Gu Qingling smiled and said, "You are smart. Brother Hong used to study with Mr. Zhou and others. He only taught those people, and he had never contacted anyone outside. It just so happened that now it's winter vacation, and all the gentlemen have gone back. There are no scholars at home. It's good to find two free temporary gentlemen to take with him. First, someone will take with him, and second, he can also get to know more people and gain more knowledge."
Another point is that Gu Qingling had just met and combined with the information he had inquired before, he felt that even if these two poor scholars could not get into the Mingtang, they were quite good in terms of human nature and knowledge, and it was just right to bring a few boys who didn't study much.
What's more, they will end next year. If they are lucky, the opportunities she creates can make her own family gain a few fame.
The Yao family has not yet trained any scholars or juren, so it is okay to make a few friends.
For a poor scholar who is poor and has nothing, it is also a good thing to make friends with a relatively clean "rich and powerful" big family like them, right?
The eldest maid Chuntian didn't understand these things, but when she saw the old lady happy, she also said: "The old lady said it was good, that was good. Old lady, should I talk to the servant next to Mr. Hong later?"
It means that she can help run errands and find out some situations.
"No, if I guess well, someone will come to chat with me later." I just don't know how many people will turn their minds and guess what she plans.
I hope that these arrangements today will not disappoint her.
When he returned to the yard, several maids in the room who were responsible for taking care of Master Yao Jiu ran over and told Gu Qingling that Master Yao Jiu was awake.
Gu Qingling entered the house and saw Master Yao Jiu happily picking up sandbags to play with.
The sandbag was specially made by Gu Qingling for him, which was a little bigger than his small fist. It was made of bright colored cloth and a long strap was sewn.
There are two ways to play. One is that the maid throws the sandbag out and he crawls to pick it up; the other is that he and the maid stand on both sides of the opposite side, throw it away, throw it away, and I throw it away.
Obviously, what Mr. Yao Jiu is playing now is the game "You throw me, I throw you".
Xia Tian saw Gu Qingling coming in and bowed.
When Master Yao Jiu saw Gu Qingling, he grabbed the sandbag and shouted "Yaya Yiya", with the smile on his face so bright.
