struggle in ancient times

After dinner, Mrs. Deng drove him to bed.

Waking up early in the morning, the village head brought several respected old people in the village to his house to discuss the opening of the ancestral hall.

"Tingyu is the youngest in our village to be admitted as a scholar. I discussed it with several old people and planned to open a ancestral hall to tell the ancestors." The patriarch said.

"Of course it's no problem. I'm planning to hold a banquet to celebrate." Mrs. Deng raised her hand to welcome this kind of thing.

When she was still a girl's family, she did not encounter a few times to open an ancestral hall.

"Okay, let's have a running banquet. Make a grand one. This is the first happy event for our two families in decades. We will do whatever the siblings say."

Mrs. Deng was very happy when she heard this. She had never spoken to the elders of the Liao family like this before. It was normal for those elders to be indifferent to Mrs. Deng because of their high status.

Now, Mrs. Deng stood up with her head held high. "I'm going to cook first, and the second child hasn't gotten up yet. You can talk slowly."

"Okay!" Everyone watched Deng's departure like a peacock.

Deng accepted their envy generously.This is what she is capable of, and she gave birth to such a capable son.

Others don't have this ability, and they still say viciously in their hearts, "Now it's up to you to say that our family is poor."

In fact, Wen Xiu'er had already prepared almost everything in the kitchen, but her status was such that she couldn't sit and talk with those people.

So the cat was in the kitchen all the time.

Mrs. Deng came in, looked at Wen Xiu'er, and said, "Daughter-in-law, have you seen it now? This person, especially us, has no status. We can't rely on our husbands. We can only rely on ourselves. If you want yourself to have a filial, obedient, and capable child, you can straighten your back. Now that you are pregnant with a child, you must teach it well when it is born. He is luckier than anyone else. He has a talented uncle. Don’t This blessing was wasted."

Wen Xiu'er nodded, she was educated, and Deng continued, "I used to be like this too. The time I met at our house for Chinese New Year, I was young and just married, so I didn't know anything. I sat in the wrong seat. Then I was ridiculed for a long, long time. People used to poke me in the back in front of my face. Look at who dares to criticize me now."

Wen Xiuer listened to Deng's words and strengthened her confidence.

Liao Tingyu fell asleep soundly.Walking into the main room, I saw the patriarch and the village chief, "I have seen you uncles, why are you here so early?"

"It's getting late. This young man should go to bed early and get up early. You scholars, you are in poor health." Uncle Wu said.

"I figured it out. I won't do it next time." Liao Tingyu was taught.

"My son, you have also been admitted as a scholar, what will you do in the future?" The patriarch is very concerned about this matter, and he hopes that Liao Tingyu will stay and teach.

People in the village want to open a school in the village, but they must go to the government office to hang the name of a scholar.

The schools here cannot be opened easily, they must have a reputation, and they must be recorded in the government office, so that the students taught can take the exam.

Liao Tingyu knew about this, so he told the village chief: "I plan to stay and teach in my original school in the future. The master has already arranged for me, and I will go there after school starts in a while."

Although the village chief was a little dissatisfied with this result, there was nothing he could do about it.

In fact, none of the scholars in the village stayed in the village.

After all, scholars also have to eat, and it is indeed not as good as being in a town in your own village.

"Son, we've been thinking about it all night. You also know that there are hundreds of people in our village. Now, you can't read, and your eyes are dim when you go outside. Now you have the reputation of a scholar. We old guys I hope you can hold a school here, just hang your name on it." The patriarch said his purpose.

"But I'm not the only scholar in our village!" Liao Tingyu was a little puzzled.

"It's true that you are not the only one. There are two more in our village, but they are both at our age. Back then, the world was just stable, so there was no such policy. Now that we have, our village really needs your help." The patriarch explained.

After all, if there is no government seal, even if it is opened, if you are found out, you will be arrested.

Liao Tingyu was a little worried. She was going to work in the town. Would it have any impact if she had a name in the township?

Liao Ming looked at his hesitant son and knew what he was worried about, "Don't worry, son who is fine. The patriarch and the others told me just now, and the village is just teaching the children to recognize a few words. "

Liao Tingyu said with a smile, and he didn't refuse either. "I'll think about it carefully, and I'll reply to you tomorrow."

After finishing speaking, he went back to his room to check the law. Liao Ming sent him away. When he returned, he found his son who was reading a book, "Son, did I do something wrong?"

Liao Tingyu shook his head, "I don't know what you think, but it's better to find out about this kind of thing. I will go to the town in the afternoon to ask my master, and then I will reply to the patriarch when I come back."

"I..." Liao Ming still wanted to explain, but Liao Tingyu interrupted him, "Father, you don't need to say anything, I know you, I was able to study, and I was admitted to the scholar, thanks to the elders, who can help Definitely help."

Liao Ming looked at his grown son, "I didn't think clearly about what I did today, but don't tell your mother, otherwise your mother will definitely make trouble with me again."

"Don't worry! I will definitely keep it a secret."

Liao Tingyu came back in the afternoon and got the answer, so he told the village chief, who agreed, and the village chief happily asked him to stay, but Liao Tingyu refused.

The village chief went back to the house and said to his son, "You heard what you said just now. Now there is a school in our village. You have a name of Tongsheng. When the school is built, you will go to teach, and then you will be able to teach." It’s better than farming anyway. Continue to study while teaching. Wait a few years before taking the exam.”

Liao Lin nodded. Although his family was richer than most other families in the village, he couldn't stand the exams again and again.

I am also a scholar who has no strength to restrain a chicken.It's not as good as a few cousins ​​in farming.

He was really unfilial enough to ask his father to ask the patriarch for his sake.

Liao Lin envied Liao Tingyu's intelligence, but unfortunately his aunt had already offended him early.

Liao Lin sighed and continued to read, trying to succeed in the next exam.
