Lin Ban lay on the bed tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep, secretly opened his eyes, took a look, then quietly got out of bed, touched his brother's bed next to him, and whispered: "Brother."
Lin Zhu opened one eye, looked at him and said, "Don't go to sleep, you will be caught by the second cousin later, and you will copy books again."
Lin Ban trembled when he heard the word "copy the book", and then said aggrievedly: "But I really can't sleep."
"If you can't sleep, just close your eyes and meditate. You have to memorize books in the afternoon. If you don't sleep now, you will definitely doze off in the afternoon. Then the second cousin will punish you again." Lin Zhu said.
When Lin Ban heard that he had to recite books in the afternoon, his head suddenly became dizzy again, and he couldn't help saying: "Second brother, I don't want to study, I want to go home."
"You want to go home?" Lin Zhu gave him a sideways look, and said, "Your brother, I still want to go home, but with the second uncle watching, who can go back, last time Lin Zhi from the second uncle's house wanted to sneak away When I went back, I was discovered by the servants of my second uncle as soon as I started to climb the wall, and then my second uncle caught me back. I spent half an hour on horseback. Lin Quan from my third uncle's family was a little smarter than Lin Zhi. He threatened and lured the handyman in the other courtyard, but the second uncle found out, not only was the handyman sent back, but Lin Quan was also fined to copy "The Analects of Confucius" ten times."
"Then we will stay here forever?" Lin Ban almost wanted to cry.
Seeing that Lin Ban really wanted to cry, Lin Zhu hurriedly coaxed: "Didn't Second Tang uncle say that we will stay here for a month, and we will definitely be able to leave after the stay is over."
Lin Ban looked at Lin Zhu and asked with red eyes: "Second brother, really?"
Lin Zhu nodded and said, "Uncle Ertang is still an official, how can he stay here with us all the time, besides, in fact, these few days I have calmed down to study, your brother, I suddenly discovered that I can actually read the book , and the second uncle taught it very carefully, I can almost understand it."
Lin Zhu turned over suddenly, lay down on the bed, looked at Lin Ban, and said, "Tell me, if your brother and I study hard now, can I be a child like my third grandfather's brother Shanshan?"
"Dang Shan has been good at studying since he was a child. Everyone in his family said that Tang Shan is the most like the second cousin. Tang Ge Shan is the only one in the family who has passed the government examination. Can you do it?" Lin Ban said incredulously.
"That's right, alas." Lin Zhu turned over and lay down on the bed again
Lin Qing listened outside for a while, and then walked away silently. He was originally here to check on the guard to see if the children went to bed on time.
However, hearing that Lin Zhu had a sliver of self-motivation, Lin Qing decided not to go in and catch these two little guys who didn't take a nap.
Thinking of the more than ten days of closed training, Lin Qing sighed, at least he saw some effect.
?This group of children started being lazy and slippery from the beginning, when they saw that they couldn't be lazy, they started to think of ways to escape, and when they couldn't escape, they started to think of ways to bribe the guard servants. In the end, they really couldn't help but give up. It was a battle of wits and courage for him to accompany this group of children every day. Fortunately, the height of the magic was one foot higher than the height of one foot. These children had been in pain for half a month, and finally subsided.
Now that the children are beginning to calm down, Lin Qing decided to start the next step to build confidence for the children.
afternoon
Lin Qing looked at the children who were all sitting on the seats, and uncharacteristically did not let the children start reciting, but said: "This afternoon, let's not study, let me ask you a question, when you grow up, plan to What are you doing?"
Lin Qing casually called up Lin Zhu, the biggest one, and said, "What are you going to do in the future?"
Lin Zhu glanced at Lin Qing, and said hesitantly, "I might follow my elder brother to help in the Salt House."
Lin Qing nodded, asked him to sit down, and asked the next few, most of the answers were: follow the elder brother to help in the Yanhao, or do not want to enter the Yanhao, and want to do some business. There are also a few small ones who just shook their heads and said they didn't know.
After Lin Qing listened, she nodded, went back to sit down at the front, and said, "Most of you think that when you grow up, you will go to Yanhao to help, or wait until you become relatives and divide the family, and take part of the money to start a business. Well, so you think studying is useless, don¡¯t you?¡±
A group of children didn't speak, but looking at their expressions, they knew that they all thought so.
"Then today, I will talk about the benefits of going to school," Lin Qing took a sip of water and said:
"There is a rule in this court that all scholars can be exempted from hard labor, can see the county magistrate without kneeling, and can go out without a guide. Think about it, if you are a scholar, no matter what you do in the future, it will be much more convenient."
"But, if we don't pass the exam, what's the use of that." Lin Zhu muttered softly.
After hearing this, Lin Qing was not only not angry, but smiled and said: "Why do you think you can't pass the exam?"
"The scholarThe exam is difficult, how can we pass the exam. "Lin Ban saw that Lin Qing was not angry when his brother said it, and said something boldly.
Lin Qing said with a smile: "If your cousin tells me, as long as you study according to what I said this year and take the county exam next year, I guarantee that some of you will be able to pass the county exam."
"County examination?" The children gasped when they heard these two words.
"Yes, the county test, as long as anyone can pass the exam, I will give him 200 acres of fertile land, and I will do what I say." Lin Qing continued.
The children below were suddenly in a commotion. For those who still only get a little monthly silver and have no separation, this is indeed a huge sum of money.
"Second Tang uncle, if we study according to your requirements, can we really pass the Zhongxian Examination?" Lin Zhu asked.
"Of course," Lin Qing said flickeringly: "Let's go back today. When you go back, you can ask your parents and ask how long it took your cousin and me to take the county test. I used to be the same as you. I was fooling around every day, and then I worked hard, and after two months, I passed the county exam."
After hearing this, a group of children were eager to try.
Of course, there are also a few big ones, who are not so easy to fool, such as Lin Zhi, who asked: "But Tang Shu, I heard people say that the county test is difficult, and few people pass it."
"It's because they don't know the secrets of learning, so they failed the exam." Lin Qing said confidently: "Your cousin, I know the tricks and secretly taught you, how could you fail the exam."
"Is there a trick?" Lin Zhi asked.
"Of course, but this is your cousin's secret, and it cannot be easily passed on to outsiders." Lin Qing said.
After Lin Qing finished speaking, before the children continued to discuss, he asked them to go back to pack their things and prepare to go back.
When the children heard that they could go back, they stopped asking immediately and ran out in a swarm.
Lin Huan watched the child run away, and said to Lin Qing with a smile: "Father, why doesn't my son know that you have some tricks to learn?"
Lin Qing glanced at him and said, "Do you believe me if I fooled them?"
Lin Huan:
He knows that his father is probably a fool, but father, can you just say it directly like this? (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
