Houfu Key Class

Even if it is a poem with strong emotions, people will have the urge to clap their thighs and applaud them only after they have experienced it. This is called empathy.

Several young boys had been working all day long, and they were tired and hot. The poem they wrote was full of resentment, but the emotions between the lines were even more intense.

Xu Wan looked at Zong Jincheng's homework and said to Su Xi: "Sir, you really have a good idea. This is the first time that Jincheng has not boasted. He used to be able to mention his elegant figure in every scene he wrote."

Su Xi twitched the corner of her mouth and said, "It's a sign that his mind is too idle. When he is extremely tired, he has no energy to do anything nonsense."

Xu Wan smiled: "It makes sense."

This kid is just too smart, and he can't suppress his pride no matter what.

After lunch, Su Xi looked at the scorching sun. After all, she was not so cruel to let the teenagers go out. This was the hottest time of the day.

However, as soon as this point passed, the teenagers were driven out with whining to plan the flowers. After a whole afternoon, the flowers in the small garden were finally planed cleanly.

Su Xi struck again while the iron was hot and asked them to stay up late that night and scatter kangkong seeds into the ground.

Wei Xing was scattering seeds on the roadside and howling: "Xin Qiji was drunk and lit up the lamp to watch his sword, so we are burning up the lamp to plant vegetables in the middle of the night. It's unreasonable..."

Shen Yibai was so amused that he burst into laughter: "Xinglu, now you are not only able to play the clouds, but also chant. Doesn't this turn into poetry?"

"Remember it quickly, you may have to write a poem of reflections after you finish the work." Zong Jincheng teased his brothers while grabbing a handful of water spinach seeds and scattering them on the ground. After scattering, he skillfully kicked a handful of mud with his feet and spread it out. The seeds are buried in the soil.

Zong Wenxiu saw it and praised him: "Jincheng, you are moving faster and faster."

The little devil snarled: "Practice makes perfect. This is considered a craft. When we get old and resign from the court, we can still go back to our hometown and farm our own land."

This sound silenced the other four people.

He Zheng reminded weakly: "Brother, our hometown is in the capital and we have no land in the countryside."

Zong Jincheng: "..."

Su Xi must have been saying such things in his ears, causing his mouth to twist.

Shen Yibai patted him on the shoulder and joked: "It doesn't matter, brother, although our country in Chu does not allow the sale of land, it does not guarantee that you will marry a country girl in the future. When you are old, you can farm her family's land."

The little devil tilted his head and thought for a while, then agreed: "It makes sense. Maybe the most beautiful girl is somewhere I haven't been to."

"Hula——"

Two lumps of dirt suddenly came from behind, knocking the two of them upside down.

The two brothers were both angry, and when they turned their heads, they heard Su Xi scolding: "You bastard, your hair has not even grown yet, and you are already thinking about our beautiful girls in the countryside? Are you still thinking about whose land will be planted by you? You are the only bastard." A lot of skills and seeds have been revealed, and all the girls will starve to death if they follow you."

Zong Jincheng gritted his teeth and said: "We can learn to grow vegetables as soon as we learn it. There are a lot of seeds exposed, but there are only a few!" After that, he kicked the soil again and removed all the exposed seeds. Buried in.

Shen Yibai also hurriedly followed suit. The color of the luxurious shoes on his feet had long since lost its color and was covered with mud.

He thought to himself: I won't look so good when I come back tomorrow. Not only will this bad old man not appreciate it, he will also torture them to give them good things.

The children hunched over and started working again. After Su Xi finished teasing the children, she ran back to the pavilion to talk to Xu Wan: "Did you hear that your precious son said that he will go to the countryside to marry a beautiful girl in the future?"

Xu Wan shook her head and smiled: "The distance was too far, so I didn't hear it. But what's the matter? Is there any problem?"

Su Xi looked at her suspiciously: "Are you serious? The feud between your family members in the capital is so serious. He is the eldest son of a great general and married a country girl. This is not laughed at by all the powerful people in the capital. Big teeth?”

Xu Wan chuckled and said, "Sir, it's too early to worry. Jin Cheng is still a child and talks nonsense every day. He also said that he would have a Cuju team in the future. Do you believe him?"

Su Xi: "..." It is indeed a child.

If you want to create a Cuju team, you don't have to fight him to death. Every day there are fights, quarrels, and endless family lawsuits.

Just when Su Xi thought she wouldn't answer that question, Xu Wan suddenly said: "Besides, it doesn't matter even if that day comes. Our family doesn't care about it. He just likes it. In a few years, when Jin Cheng is older, he will He has his own thoughts and opinions, and I believe he can control his own life.”

When Xu Wan said this, she still looked gentle and gentle, but the firmness and trust in her words were very rare. Su Xi laughed and said, "You are also a strange person."

Xu Wan smiled and said: "Everyone has a shining point. It's a coincidence that you saw mine, sir."

Su Xi cupped her hands to express her admiration.

That night, the teenagers who had been busy all day fell into bed and fell asleep, not even staying up until their usual sleep time.

In the big study room, Xu Wan was still arranging the work of the private tutors: "In the past month or so, the children have had less time for the Four Books and Five Classics and policy discussions. Masters, in their free time, can study how to guide them after the Autumn Period. ”

As soon as she said this, except for Jinshi Jiang Yan, the other four people were all shocked.

Yes, the four of them are only qualified.

If after Qiu Wei, the five young masters fail to pass the exam, it’s okay, they can continue to teach for a few more years and wait for the next exam; but if the five young masters all pass the exam, then they are all candidates for the exam just like them. How can I safely take one hundred taels a month to guide young people?

The four of them have been in the key classes of Hou Mansion for several years, and they are all amazed by Xu Wan's teaching methods, the skills of the teachers, and the intelligence of the young people. Such rapid improvement of the young people has given them a sense of crisis.

Jobs may not be saved.

Xu Wan also made it clear to them: "One month later, during the nine days when they go to the Tribute Academy, our key class will conduct a master's assessment. Mr. Baili will set the questions, and the difficulty is the same as the general examination. Those who pass will continue to stay, and those who fail will continue to stay." Who..."

Even if she doesn't say it, they understand.

For those who fail, the employment will be terminated.

The four masters all looked a bit bad. Although they were all hired with high salaries and there was no need to mention any debts, Xu Wan still tried to explain as gently as possible: "I have been with the masters for many years, and I am very grateful for your efforts in the past few years. But Jincheng and the others are going to take the first-level exams, so there can’t be any hindrance. . For example, now, Jin Cheng’s poetry is poor and he can’t learn it. I know it’s not your fault, but I didn’t give up on his subject. Instead, I invited Mr. Su Xi to come over. We have all heard about it, and we understand better the high hopes we have for these children.”
