Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 61 Found a Treasure
Huang Chengming saw that the veins on Guan Le and his forehead were twitching, and he was about to explode in the next moment, so he hurriedly asked, "Why do you want to be my disciple and not the disciple of the head of the mountain? You must know that the head of the mountain is the most powerful person in this academy." , Learning is also the best, no matter how many people want to worship him as a teacher, they can't."

"My fourth uncle and brother Zhang are all students of Mr. Huang. I want to be with them." Du Jinning said.

Of course not.She is a daughter, even if she enters the academy and studies, she will not take the imperial examination in the future.Guan Lehe is the head of the mountain, and her elder brother is an official in Beijing. She has worshiped him as a teacher, and this involves a lot of trouble. Even if she wants to dawdle in the academy and be a little transparent.

But Huang Chengming was different. Although he was old, he was still an ordinary teacher in the academy, and he had many disciples. She had been around for a year and a half, and finally disappeared from everyone, so she was not so eye-catching.

Hearing Du Jinning's words, Guan Lehe was stunned for a moment, and burst out laughing "haha".

Du Jinning was neither sad nor happy. He always thought that this child was unfathomable, but he never expected such a childish sentence to come out suddenly.

This is still a child less than ten years old!What scheming can she have?Those words just now, presumably she thinks it is true, right?
He really thinks too much.

Thinking about it this way, the more he looked at this child, the more he liked him - he was good-looking, good-natured, and had a good memory - he really had a good memory!What a treasure.

He was not willing to give up such a child to Huang Chengming.

He suppressed his smile, and said lightly: "If you refuse to accept me as a teacher, Mr. Huang will not accept you. Who would dare to snatch the student of the head of the mountain?"

Huang Chengming suddenly smiled wryly.

He was overjoyed when he heard Du Jinning's words just now, and he very much hoped that the head of the mountain would put the overall situation first, and not force the child to let him join his sect smoothly.

It is a very honorable thing to have such a child as a disciple and take it out in the future.With such qualifications, it would be no problem to train them casually for two or three years before becoming a scholar.When the name of the child prodigy is known, he, as a gentleman, will also be famous.Not to mention Du Jinning's reputation in the future when he took the Juren examination and became a Jinshi.

It's beautiful when you think about it.

It's a pity that this sweet dream was shattered by Guan Lehe before it could be realized.

He only hoped that Du Jinning would persevere and not give up.

Du Jinning looked at Huang Chengming, then at Guan Lehe, lowered his head and muttered, "But I still want to worship Mr. Huang as my teacher."

Guan Lehe was almost mad at this child.

"Think about it clearly. If you don't take me as your teacher, you can't enter the academy, and you can't take Mr. Huang as your teacher. I'm the head of the mountain, and I mean what I say."

Du Jinning weighed the pros and cons in his heart, thinking that with her aptitude, no matter who she worshiped under, she would not be able to let her go, and let her mess around, it would be better to worship the mountain chief as her teacher.At least in this way, it will be more favorable for the division of the Du family.

She finally succumbed to the power, nodded helplessly and said, "That's fine."

These three words made Guan Lehe very angry.

Who is so reluctant to accept him as a teacher? Is he bad?

But he really likes this student, as long as she agrees, he doesn't care about her attitude anymore.

He tried his best to suppress the upturned corners of his mouth, and said with a serious expression: "Why don't you quickly kowtow to your teacher?"

Ever since she traveled to ancient times and was punished by Du Chensheng to kneel in the yard, Du Jinning accepted her fate—in this age of kneeling and kneeling, it is so difficult for her knees to keep their chastity.For this reason, she didn't bother anymore, she knelt down and kowtowed to Guan Lehe three times, and called out, "Teacher."

Guan Lehe finally couldn't hold back the joy in his heart, stroked his beard and laughed "haha", stepped forward to help Du Jinning himself: "Okay, you will be my third disciple from now on. The second senior brother is Guan Jiaze, the senior senior brother Now that he has won the Juren Award, he has gone on a study tour. He will come back for the New Year in a few days, so I will see you again."

Zhang Hongwen was both happy and disappointed for Du Jinning.

It would be great if Du Jinning could worship under Mr. Huang and be the same gentleman as him.Although major classes are taught together, students under the same teacher have a much closer relationship with each other than ordinary students.

After accepting apprentices, Guan Lehe naturally wanted to care about his disciples' situation: "How old are you this year, how many people are there in your family, and do you have any land?"

"Mr. Hui, this disciple is ten years old. There are fifteen people in his family, and there are twenty acres of land."

When Zhang Hongwen heard that Du Jinning simply answered the mountain chief's question, and did not reveal any problems at home, Zhang Hongwen became anxious and looked at Guan Lehe and hesitated to speak.

Guan Lehe noticed Zhang Hongwen's expression, and said to Du Jinning in a pleasant manner: "Go outside and wake up your senior brother, and then let him take you to take you for a walk in the academy, familiar with the familiar place, and have a cup of tea Come back later.”

"Yes." Du Jinning saluted and retreated.

Hearing Du Jinning talking to Guan Jiaze outside, their voices and footsteps gradually faded away. Guan Lehe then turned to Zhang Hongwen and asked him, "I saw your expression just now, it seems that you have something to say?"

Zhang Hongwen was not a cowardly person to be able to accompany Du Jinning to the head of the mountain. At this time, with his husband present, he also openly told Guan Lehe about the situation of Du Jinning's family.

"You mean, his family has land and lives a good life, but he refuses to send Du Jinning to school?" Guan Lehe asked with a frown.

Zhang Hongwen nodded: "Exactly. In the past, the private school in the village only accepted [-] cash for the children in the village. His grandfather was not willing to let him go. Even though Du Jinning's uncle found Du Jinning's extraordinary talent and persuaded him many times, she Grandfather still won't."

What he implied was that Du Chensheng was not willing to let her go for the three hundred taels of Shu Xiu, let alone the 20 taels of silver from the academy.Besides, the 20 taels of silver are just for Shu Xiu. To study in this academy, other expenses are not small.

Just like clothes, when Du Jinning came here, he couldn't wear her tattered clothes anymore, right?This can be related to the dignity of the academy.From time to time, academies in various counties will invite teachers and students to visit each other and hold several literary meetings for the purpose of learning and exchanging ideas.If Du Jinning was still wearing her tattered clothes and walking between the colleges with a yellow and emaciated face, he would be laughed at by other colleges, saying that Bo Yue College is a den of beggars.Therefore, when you come here to study, you need to buy some decent outfits.

Not to mention expenses such as the four treasures of the study, food and so on.

Guan Lehe also frowned.

Although he is not short of money, he can help pay for Du Jinning's bundle repair, and he can also buy clothes and four treasures of the study, but as the head of the mountain, he can't do this.
