Houfu Key Class

He Zheng was moved to tears: "Brother, you are the best to me. You are my dear brother!"

"There's me, there's me," Wei Xinglu also stepped forward and said, "I can help you hire a team too!"

Naturally, Shen Yibai was not willing to lag behind. He immediately said: "Then three teams, one from each direction of your home, so that everyone can hear and see. This is the lineup of our four great talents!"

He Zheng immediately changed his words: "The three eldest brothers are all my brothers!!"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

There was a lot of laughter in the big study room. Several children took the test papers that the masters had drawn for them, wrongly answering key questions, and began to continue to improve themselves.

Outside the house, there is a small pavilion.

Jiang Yan and Cheng Zhidong were talking to Xu Wan about the future study plans of several children. The time for Tongzike and Qiuwei was imminent, and key classes were also encountering difficulties.

Jiang Yan said: "Although Shen Yibai and Wei Xinglu have learned a lot of knowledge through debates and seminars with the three young masters, their foundation is weak and it will be difficult to pass the boy's examination in the next three months. But if If they fail to pass the boy's examination, they will not be qualified to take part in the Qiu Wei examination and will not be able to catch up with this year's imperial examination."

Cheng Zhidong also said: "Previously, my wife said that she would not focus on teaching poetry, so the poetry of several children was relatively ordinary, especially Jin Cheng. He had almost no talent in this area. When he was asked to write poetry, he started to play it, and the poems floated on the surface. . But Shifu must make up for it, otherwise this shortcoming will make it difficult for them to catch up with Qin Ye."

Xu Wan sat next to the small table, tapping her fingers on the table again and again, and said aloud: "The poems and poems of Jincheng and the three of them will be completed after the child study. At this stage, they are still focusing on policy theory. Qiu Wei can't catch up. If Qin Ye can't catch up, he won't take the poetry test again when the examination comes, so there's no need to invest too much time in poetry."

Cheng Zhidong's eyes widened and he said in surprise: "Madam, do you want to give up poetry?"

Xu Wan corrected: "I'm not giving up. You still need to make up for what you need, but you don't need to make up for it so deeply. The addition of poems and poems in Qiu Wei is just to select students. In fact, it is not commonly used in the later examinations, imperial examinations, and even official positions. Come, we are pressed for time and must know what to choose.”

Cheng Zhidong swallowed. He had never heard of this view. Students from poor backgrounds like them only knew how to study hard and learn the best in everything. How could they make such a detailed plan? He was shocked at himself. There is a gap in vision with Xu Wan, but it is like finding a treasure: "I understand, Madam is wise."

Xu Wan said to Jiang Yan again: "Shen Yibai and Wei Xinglu will only study the content required for the children's subject in the next three months. The other foundations will be made up after the children's subject. They cannot stop participating in the debates and seminars, lest they arrive in autumn. I can’t keep up.”

Jiang Yan said: "Yes, it all depends on Madam's arrangement."

After saying that, Xu Wan left. Jiang Yan and Cheng Zhidong looked at each other, then looked at the five children in the room, and couldn't help but sigh: "Young masters are so lucky."

The twelfth lunar month of this year was particularly lively. Good news came frequently from the border. It was said that Pingxi General Luo Jingfeng had led his army to attack three enemy cities. .

The people were happy, their desire to buy increased, and there were more and more types of New Year's goods. Xu Wan and Baili Weihong were almost dazzled by picking out lanterns and paintings on the street.

Normally, the servants of the family come to buy these things, but Xu was so happy this year that the two of them wanted to only choose items in their own yard, so they bought all the items in the house.

"It's New Year! We are one year older!"

The crackling of firecrackers ushered in the new year. Shen Yibai and Wei Xinglu went home to celebrate the new year. Only the little devil came with Zong Wenxiu and He Zheng to pay New Year greetings to the elders.

"Happy New Year to my mother/aunt/aunt! Good health and all the best!"

Xu Wan handed them the lucky money they had prepared, and said with a smile: "Let's go out and play. The boat is for you to enjoy for a day. Remember not to cause trouble."

"Wow! That's great! Mom, you are so considerate!"

"Let's go, let's go and ask Yibai and Xinglu to come out and take the boat!"

Xu Wan looked at their happy backs and thought that they were still old enough to play, so they should play more.

At this moment, she suddenly wanted to put her children's studies aside. At that time, she only wanted to get a hundred thousand taels of pie quickly, and then she planned step by step to let them study.

But now that the relationship has deepened, I realize that they have to learn so much at this age, and it must be very tiring, right?

Xu Wan turned sideways and asked: "Cuizhi, tell me, am I pushing them too hard? Even if the imperial examination is successful at the age of eleven or twelve, they will have to become officials as soon as it is over. Will this make them too early?" Grow up?"

Cuizhi has been brainwashed by Zong Jincheng. She opened her mouth and said: "Isn't this awesome? Mr. Cheng will be able to show off to others when he goes out: he will be an official at the age of eleven, and the Zong family's ancestral graves are smoking because of him. Mrs. Hou is proud to mention him, he is the successor of Wenquxing, a born prodigy, and the most powerful second-grade official in the future..."

"Okay, stop talking." Xu Wan interrupted her, holding her forehead.

No matter what question she asked, she had all the images in her mind, all of them showing those bratty boys being arrogant and showing off everywhere.

Forget it, she was overthinking it.

They were very happy.

Without even two days off in the first month, Shen Yibai and Wei Xinglu consciously returned to work early.

Because Zong Jincheng had someone send messages every day saying that the three of them had debated on some topic again, and the two of them were so upset at home that they simply came back and started to attack the little devil together.

The private teachers were supposed to come back in a few days, but Xu Wan saw that the children were devoted to their studies, so she offered to encourage them to pay three times the money during the holidays and asked which teacher was willing to come back early. As a result, the five private teachers filled the big study room.

Xu Wan: "..."

Sure enough, we are all the same, making money is the most important thing.

The weather was cold in the first month of the year, and it was not convenient to go out to play, so the five of them studied books honestly in the big study room for a whole month. On the last day of the month, Zong Jincheng looked forward to the prince's arrival, but he didn't come until dark.

This was the first time the prince broke his promise, and he didn't let anyone say anything.

"What's going on... Why didn't His Highness come to see me?" The little devil hung his head unhappily, "New Year's Eve was so busy before the New Year, but His Highness took time out to spend a day with me."

Shunzi comforted him, "His Highness is the prince, and he has a lot of things to do every day. Maybe he encountered something urgent and didn't have time to tell us."

"Is that so?" Zong Jincheng was a little unconvinced.

Shunzi said, "Wait one more day, maybe His Highness will come tomorrow."

After waiting for another day, the prince still didn't come.

Zong Jincheng finally couldn't sit still: "I'm going to the East Palace to find His Highness."
