Houfu Key Class

Three personal trainers were waiting tremblingly beside them. It was already tiring for each person to take care of one child all day and night. Who would the next child be given to?

Pan Hongzhi was the first to panic: "Madam, I can't have any more children now. With Jin Cheng, a little devil in the world, my gray hair will grow out. I really don't have that much energy to take care of Shen Yibai."

Cheng Zhidong also hurriedly followed up: "Yes, madam, He Zheng here is also a little dude, but he thinks about studying every day, which makes me very tired. I have to find time to order more for the children. The study plan is really too busy.”

Zhao Yin: "..."

Now that you have said this, I am the only one left. The literary cultivator I lead is the most obedient and has no other free time.

Sure enough, both Pan and Cheng took a step back after speaking, leaving only Zhao Yin standing prominently in front.

Zhao Yin: "???"

you! ! Don't be such a dog! ! !

Xu Wan couldn't help but laugh and said: "Don't be nervous, three masters. I plan to hire one more master."

The three of them breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, especially Zhao Yin, who broke into a cold sweat.

Xu Wan continued: "Are the three classmates familiar with each other? They were both selected for the exam in the previous year?"

The three of them looked at each other, Zhao Yin shook his head, and Cheng Zhidong said that a cousin of his had asked about him and was interested. Pan Hongzhi said that he had two classmates who also wanted to come over after hearing that the money provided by the Hou Mansion was indeed generous.

It's just that Xu Wan never mentioned the expansion before, so they naturally don't want this good job to be replaced by others.

Xu Wan nodded and said: "Then I will contact Master Lao and ask them to come to the mansion tomorrow to discuss in detail. Once the final candidates are confirmed, I will leave it to Master Zhao to familiarize them with the environment."

Zhao Yin responded: "No problem."

This is much easier than bringing a little dude directly.

other side.

Shen Yibai has learned an independent way to make money: copying books by hand.

"A copy of a book only sells for 35...wen?" Shen Yibai was also puzzled by this monetary unit, "Are you sure it's not 35 taels? I feel like it will take several days to copy."

In fact, he felt that 35 taels was too little, and he would finish it in just a few meals.

The little devil rolled his eyes at him and said: "If you copy a book for 35 taels, how much money will they sell for a book after printing and binding? Think about it without thinking about it, is it possible?"

Shen Yibai curled his lips and said, "This life is hard and unprofitable. It must be too difficult."

"Then do you have any other options?" the little devil asked, "If you don't fight with your father and don't rely on your family, what can you, a ten-year-old child, do to make money?"

Shen Yibai fell silent when asked: "Don't worry, just wait, I'll think about it again... hiss..."

Xu Wan didn't rush him, and just said to the others: "You all go to study and let Yibai think about it alone."

The three cubs got into the mood very quickly, and each of them had a personal trainer sitting next to them to guide them according to their different progress, but what they have in common is that they are all focused.

Even Zong Jincheng, who kept picking at the table and making small movements, kept his eyes focused on the book. From time to time, he would discuss a certain argument with Pan Hongzhi, and a lot of nonsense came out of his mouth.

Shen Yibai's face was full of questions.

Brother, aren't you the leader of the four little dandies?

Are all the dandies working so hard now?

But no matter how rich his inner drama was, none of the three students who were studying seriously paid any attention to him. Shen Yibai even felt that he was isolated, but that was okay, it was not him who was studying anyway.

He lay down next to the table and looked around the large study room, which was more than three times the size of a normal room. There were books all around, and the tall bookcases were filled with them. The strong fragrance of books and ink made him suffocate the more he smelled it.

Help...how could anyone want to stay in a place like this?

How terrible!

This feeling of fear stayed with him until evening. He was about to have dinner. Hearing that the cooks in Yuanyanghou Mansion were very good, Shen Yibai followed Zong Jincheng and ran out.

If you are not active in eating, there is something wrong with your brain.

He finished his meal and then noticed the lack of people: "Hey, Jincheng, why isn't He Zheng here?"

The little devil was still drinking soup and said casually: "He thinks the place to eat is too far away, so he spends every night in the big study eating meat buns and reading."

"Huh??" Shen Yibai was confused, "He won't even eat such a delicious meal. What's the point of just eating meat buns?"

The little devil said: "Study hard. My brother and I have both passed the exam. He Zheng is anxious. He also wants to pass the exam next year. Moreover, in the second half of next year, the official provincial examination will be held in August. He is under more pressure than me. ”

Shen Yibai didn't understand these things, but since they were brothers, he still knew that He Zheng liked to read. He was very puzzled and said: "I really don't understand He Zheng. It would be great to practice martial arts with his brothers, but he has to mess around." , I’ve been beaten a lot since I was little.”

The little devil put down his spoon, rolled his eyes at him and said, "This is called having the courage to pursue your dreams. You should respect him, not laugh at him."

Shen Yibai disagreed: "You didn't laugh at him with us before. At most, you laughed at him while helping him climb over the wall."

The little devil's fist became hard again.

It's really irritating to talk to a dude.

The little devil said proudly: "I have grown up now. Now I am a famous boy in the whole capital. Oh no, I am a famous boy in the whole country. Of course it is different from before."

Shen Yibai couldn't understand.

But soon, he realized it.

In the evening, because the new wife had not yet taken her seat, Xu Wan arranged for him to squeeze in with Zong Jincheng. The two children shared a bed, and Pan Hongzhi slept in the next bed.

So that night, Shen Yibai listened to the little devil chasing Pan Hongzhi to discuss the Book of Rites after the lights were turned off, and he was so angry that he covered himself with the quilt... but he could still hear it.

Shen Yibai screamed frantically in his heart: Help!

What kind of terrible place is this!

Are my dude brothers possessed by ghosts? ! !

The next day, Shen Yibai went to the big study room with two panda eyes to listen to other people reading. Before the new private teacher was in place, he didn't read, and Xu Wan didn't force him. But in this environment, he felt uncomfortable all over even when he was playing with a pen and drawing.

Outer hall.

Xu Wan watched three applicants being taken by Cui Liu to write resumes. Cui Zhi came over and said that one of them was a Jinshi in the previous session, named Jiang Yan, from the North Court of Hanlin.

He could have been an official steadily, but because he offended someone, he didn't take the civil service exam and missed the opportunity to become an official. Jiang Yan was deeply shocked and disdained to take the examination again, but after studying all his life, he only knew this, so he opened a primary school to teach.

Scholars are useless. Apart from being an official, teaching is not a profitable business. Many of the students Jiang Yan recruited came from poor families, and he couldn't bear to charge more money, so his life became more and more difficult. In the end, Pan Hongzhi couldn't stand it anymore, and when the first-class key class had the opportunity to expand enrollment, he quickly pulled him in to try.
