Chapter 301 Paper for home use
"Master Tian has allowed your father and Heng'er to come to the county school together after the festival. The second child will only have your mother, eldest sister, and you at home. Although you are the youngest one, uncle doesn't think you are one of them." Ordinary children.
Since you have learned how to drive, you should be able to travel to and from Huju Village in the future. If you need anything, come to Huju City to find us. Do you understand? "
Uncle’s words made Yan Yu stunned for a while.
"Uncle, can both father and elder brother go to the county school? Can two of us go to school?" She asked.
Yan Huaiwen couldn't explain the key points to Xiao Er, so he just said: "Master Tian is very kind, and he is willing to support one or two, and he has allowed two places for our family.
This is a great opportunity for your dad, don't miss it. "
"Uncle, do you think Dad can pass the exam?" Yan Yu asked.
She wanted to find out about Yan Lao Er's background. The uncle is very knowledgeable, so he will definitely have a fair evaluation of Yan Lao Er.
Unexpectedly, such a simple question stumped Yan Huaiwen.
He frowned and thought carefully, but said nothing for a long time.
Yan Yu looked at his face, and asked tentatively: "Uncle, dad is so tired of studying. I haven't seen him touch a book a few times since I can remember. At most, he will teach me and mother to distinguish characters. Do you know how good my dad is?" how?"
Yan Huaiwen was ashamed.
As an elder brother, he is too indifferent to his younger brother's studies, so he can't remember where he read the book of God Bless and how the article was written?
We have to estimate from the age and the time of entering school.
"Your father was enlightened at the age of six, and studied for ten years, including "San Zi Jing", "Hundred Surnames", "Thousand Characters", "Disciples Regulations", "Children Learning Qiong Lin", "Thousands of Poems", "Guwen Guanzhi", " Tone Enlightenment, Zengguang Xianwen...
These should be well-read by heart. There may be deficiencies in the college exams, and they still need to be sharpened, but passing the children's exams should be no problem.
Although Tongsheng is not famous, he is also a scholar. It is better to be called Yan Tongsheng than to be called Yan Er. "
Yan Yu deeply agrees with this point. Although the name is just a code name, it doesn't mean anything, but her father is either called Yan Er or Yan Lao Er. Look at Uncle Liang, wherever he goes, he is called Liang Tongsheng, with a tone of expression all very different.
Yan Yu thinks that her father doesn't need to take the exam, she can do her whole childhood, and she won't be taken seriously when she walks outside like before.
The more important point is that in a world where classes exist, ordinary people kneel when they see officials. Guanzhou's literature and education are not prosperous, and there is no need for scholarly fame. Uncle never knelt down.
Give a deep salute, which she can still accept.
Dad always said that he didn’t mind kneeling, and always said that he would do as the Romans do, but in fact, for them, these customs require a long period of psychological construction, and it is not so easy to break the inherent concepts.
"I have memorized all these books, and my uncle has also tested me. Who is better at studying, uncle, father or me?" Yan Yu seized the opportunity to ask the question he wanted to ask the most.
Xiao Er's eyes reflected the clouds and smoke in the sky, passing by mistyly, leaving only clear and pure.
Seeing that the uncle was stuck again, Yan Yu didn't give up, and continued to ask: "Uncle, do you think I can pass the boy's exam if I go?"
Yan Huaiwen regained his voice: "Xiao Er, want to take the exam?"
Yan Yu is so entangled to death, this is a proposition.
Said that he wanted to take the exam, what if the uncle felt that her daughter was unable to take the exam, what should I do in private to feed her more small stoves, then I didn’t fill in the hole for myself.
If you say you don’t want to take the exam, why do you ask so many questions?
She took a deep breath and said in a vague tone: "I haven't thought about it, but today my uncle said that my father and I learned the same thing, and said that my father can pass the children's test, so I just asked me if I can do it."
Fame is just a foreign object, and a person's knowledge and cultivation cannot be reflected from it.
As a daughter, you don’t need to insist on taking the imperial examination. One day, you will find that the imperial examination fame is only icing on the cake, and whether a person can succeed depends on himself. "
…
Yan Huaiwen entered the government office, and Uncle Yan Yuyang put her in the bookstore.
And repeatedly promised that he would never go anywhere, and the shopkeeper of the bookstore also smiled and said that he would help take care of him, and Yan Huaiwen left.
Hujucheng is Yan Yu's second visit.
After the closure of the city, Huju reopened, and there were many more people than last time, and the shops on the street were very lively.
Catching up with the Mid-Autumn Festival, many merchants have pasted red paper on the goods, and put them in the most conspicuous place in the shop, so you can see them clearly when you walk by.
There are also small stalls on the street, and the shouts are one after another, which is very lively.
Yan Yu kept her promise and didn't leave the bookstore, but that doesn't mean she didn't pick the door frame and look out.
The location of the bookstore is pretty good, next to a big intersection.
Every business was booming, only the bookstore was deserted, she stayed for a while, only two people dressed as scholars walked in.
After her careful observation, the two scholars did not come to buy things, one picked up the live copy books from the bookstore, and sent two books, and the shopkeeper made some copper coins. Not as much money as her private house.
The other came to inquire about the job of copying books. The shopkeeper asked him to try the pen. It should be that he couldn't write well. It was a pity that he left.
She had seen enough of the bustle outside, so she wandered around in the bookstore. The shopkeeper ignored her, and only signaled a young man to follow.
It is estimated that she is afraid that she will damage the book, and it is difficult to speak out, so she sent someone to watch her.
Yan Yu took a quick look at the flowers, flipping through one book after another.
Most of them are handwritten books, and few printed books.
The same enlightenment book, the 300,000 kind, uses different paper, the cover is more beautifully packaged, and the words inside are also better written, so it is much more expensive than the usual ones.
There is nothing too cheap in the bookstore, as long as it has words, it mostly starts with a hundred words.
Pens, ink sticks, and inkstones are all graded. Yan Yu looked at the cheapest paper, and there were grass stalks on it. He thought it was made of rough materials, not too finely made, and the quality of the paper was really good.
She reckoned that it was not as good as the best-copied sheets of recycled paper in her house.
At least the pulp in her home is very fine, and she uses even force on the few sheets of paper. Except for the color, the thickness and water absorption are good.
"Shopkeeper, can I also write a few strokes, and you can see if I can take over the copying job of your family."
"Of course." The shopkeeper didn't underestimate her. No one knew about Yan Hushu's presence in Huju City.
Yan Yu is not at all afraid, and writes as soon as she picks up a pen, silently resembling a sentence from the Qionglin of elementary school.
When the winter solstice comes, the ashes of reeds will fly, and when the beginning of autumn comes, the leaves of sycamore will fall.
The shopkeeper looked at it and seriously commented: "Young master, I think this is the first time I have learned this style, and I can see the greenness in the gestures, and I need to practice for a while... But this kind of strength is quite rare at the young master's current age. "
There will be an update today~
How confused is the nerd? I should have taken two pills, but I forgot the one after I finished taking one... After two hours, I looked down, oh, I took one less o(╥﹏╥)o
