Chapter 283 Luck
"At present, it is estimated that there are 60 students, and the school needs to be expanded. There are [-] students in a classroom, so there must be at least five rooms. In addition, there will be people from the city to send children, that is six rooms, and there must be a new teacher. Build a dwelling."

Mrs. Sun wrote and drew on the paper, "It is enough for the children in the village to arrange a half-day class, take turns to attend the class in the morning and afternoon, and just invite two masters."

"I'll leave it to Yu An to invite my wife."

Li Zheng said with a smile, "Yu An said that at least three scholars will be invited to be the enlightenment teachers for the children. Mrs. Sun, you will be the head of our Gu family school in the future. You and Mrs. Zheng will come here to teach those who are about to Exam students.

As for the new school, Yu An has already organized those merchants to collect nearly a thousand taels of silver, and will expand the school with several green brick and tile houses, so that the school will be more spacious and the children can attend classes with peace of mind. "

The merchants did not hesitate to spend money, and they gathered more than 900 taels after just yelling, which was enough to build a university hall, a residence for the master, and even a dormitory for the children who lived far away. A student canteen...

"Reading and literacy is not a profitable business. In my opinion, you can continue to maintain a repair fee of [-] yuan a month."

Gu Qing said, "The village has the ability to provide the children with an environment to study. In the future, the children will give back to the village when they are successful. If they can't afford to study because the repair fee is too high, then the loss outweighs the gain."

Li Zheng nodded: "I agree."

Master Sun naturally nodded in response, and he said with emotion: "In the past, I devoted myself to obtaining fame, but unexpectedly, it was difficult for me to be a scholar. I thought that I would miss the imperial examination in my life, but I didn't expect to be able to teach and educate people... ..."

After he came to Gujia Village, he didn't hide his past of repeatedly failing the exams. These people were willing to send their children here, which made him very surprised.

Although he knew there was a reason for the princess, no one would take risks with their own children. Gujia Village made him feel the feeling of being a teacher and respected by others.

"In the future, more and more children will come to Gu's Village to study." Gu Qing said with a smile, "Mr. Sun Shan will one day be full of peaches and plums, and the spring will be everywhere."

The three chatted, discussed with each other and drew a sketch of the new school. It was still built next to the ancestral hall. It was quiet and suitable for reading.

Just as the sketch was finalized, suddenly, Gu Jinhua ran in out of breath: "Ah, grandma, the provincial capital is here, someone is here!"

Gu Qing stood up abruptly.

People from the provincial capital, could it be that Dong Rong passed the exam, and the official came to announce the good news?

She hurried out.

The four officials from the provincial capital were being led by shopkeeper Wang to the mansion, when the two groups of people happened to run into each other.

As soon as he saw Gu Qing, shopkeeper Wang said excitedly: "I got the exam, I really got the exam!"

The four officials immediately beat the gongs and drums, and when they finished, they said: "Congratulations to Princess Rongchang, Dong Rong from Youshui County, Nanzhou Province, ranked first in the township examination this time, and became this year's Jieyuan. This is good news!"

A red copybook was handed over.

Gu Qing quickly took it, opened it, and immediately smiled.

Rong'er really passed the exam, she is No.1, she is Jie Yuan this year, and her future is boundless.

"Oh, Amitabha, finally passed the exam!" Li Zheng was very excited, "It's all thanks to Mr. Sun Shan."

Sun Shanchang stroked his beard: "I read the test questions of this year's township examination, and I have explained most of them. Dong Rong is lucky."

Gu Qing smiled and narrowed her eyes, she was so happy, she quickly asked Madam Zhu to give her money, five taels of silver per person.

After the officials received the rewards, she smiled and said, "It's been a hard trip for you guys!"

Several officials took the reward silver and left cheerfully.

When the villagers heard about it, they all came to congratulate him.

"I knew that Dong Rong was a promising kid."

"Now it's Master Juren, and he can be an official. It's really not easy."

"Is there an exam in the future? It is said that I can go to the capital to meet the emperor. Hey, we have a princess and a high-ranking official in our Gujia village. The Fengshui of our Gujia village is really good!"

Gu Qing accepted all the congratulations from the villagers.

She is Dong Rong's wife, so such a happy event naturally requires wine and a banquet for the whole village.It is also necessary to call the people from the old Gu's family to come and sit in the first place to be lively and happy.

Nanny Liu is already familiar with setting up a banquet.She took Chunhua Dongmei and the two immediately went out to the village to find someone to help, and in less than an afternoon, hundreds of banquet tables were set up in the village.

Li Zheng, his two wives, and the people from the old house of the Gu family were invited by Gu Qing to come to the house.

There were three tables set up in the flower hall, and Mammy Zhu and others retreated automatically after the dishes were served, and the courtyard was bustling with activity.

"I really didn't expect, Qing'er, that you not only live a good life, but also live a good life in the whole village and even the surrounding villages, and you also brought a few husbands in the family!" Mrs. Gu said with emotion: "This Nian is really not easy for you!"

Mrs. Sun ate the pork knuckle, and said vaguely: "Mother, this matter depends on our Niu Niu. Niu Niu will definitely be good at studying in the future."

"Auntie, even if Niuniu is promising, it will be more than ten years later, and our Gu family still has to rely on me." Gu Nuo said with a smile, "I will also come back with a Jieyuan in the township examination in three years' time."

"You won't be old until three years from now, so you're only talking big things." Old Madam Gu laughed, "You'll only be twelve after the new year, and you'll be fifteen after three years! Do you want to be a juren master when you're fifteen?"

Gu Nuo raised his chin: "My brother Mo doesn't read every day, he can be admitted as a scholar, and he even became a county magistrate directly, why can't I."

Everyone was also surprised that Mo Li and Dong Rong's study attitudes were one above the other, so why is it that the one who doesn't study hard is even more powerful?
"Being able to study also depends on talent." Mr. Gu said, "However, you just wait, as long as the masters in the village teach well, our Gu family village will definitely produce many talents in the future."

Sun Shanchang hurriedly said: "Dong Rong was able to pass the exam because of his outstanding ability, while Mo Li, his kind has both strength and luck, and others can't follow suit."

Mrs. Zheng continued: "This time, both of us have mentioned the topic of the rural examination. There are also several questions related to farming. Dong Rong was born in the countryside, and he has been familiar with it. He can answer it more or less well. Besides, there are also some questions in the rural examination. Arithmetic problems may seem difficult, but they shouldn't be too much of a problem for Dong Rong."

Gu Qing nodded, agriculture is the foundation of the country, and there will definitely be questions related to farming in the imperial examinations. Others are reading with their ears closed, but Mo Li is playful by nature.

When I lived in Gujia Village, I followed Gu Nuo to run wildly in the fields from time to time, and I would help with the farm work every day. When I was tired, I would take Dong Rong to study. In the evening, the two of them took turns to teach the children in the village, so that there was a degree of relaxation. The way of learning is also very effective.

Of course, the most important thing is good luck. Gu Qing thought of the faces of the national teacher and Mo Li who were almost similar, so he didn't say anything.

"Hey, I used to think about sending Niuniu to study in the city, and I don't want to think about it anymore."

Sun held the child in her arms and said with a shy face, "Masters, my two children will be handed over to you when they are three years old, and you will treat them as your own children. Beat and scold as you please, We must let them both study hard and become high officials."

Gu Yu raised his eyes: "The two masters never scold or beat anyone."

Gu Nuo also said: "Reading depends on self-awareness, no matter what you learn, you must rely on yourself."

 Mrs. Sun, not Mrs. Zhang, made a mistake earlier, and I cannot correct it here.I have to tell the editor, it's too troublesome, and I don't want to trouble the editor, so I won't change it!
  I'm sorry everyone, I'm going to work after the next year, and the time is relatively tight. There are still about 10,000+ words left for this article to finish.

  Thank you for your continued support.
