Chapter 157 Recommendation Letter

Magistrate Gao returned home in a daze with a recommendation letter from Taixue.

Mrs. Gao came over quickly.

"Master, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so ugly? Are you sick? Do you want to ask a doctor to take a look?"

Magistrate Gao waved his hand, took a few sips of tea after sitting down, and his expression improved a lot.

Mrs. Gao felt that the master today was a little different, and before she could ask, she found the post in his hand, with hot gold edges, Yuzhou Prefecture School.

This is?

Mrs. Gao stood up excitedly, "Master, what is this? Is it the admission ticket for Yuzhou Prefecture School?"

Magistrate Gao was at a loss for ideas, "Madam, if there is a chance, do you want Hui'er to go to a government school to study?"

"Of course I have. Our Hui'er is the smartest person in the world. If he didn't go to the government school to study, he would be blind. It's a pity that my official position is too low and he doesn't have a letter of recommendation from the government school. Otherwise, Hui'er wouldn't have to work so hard. Passed the science test.”

Mrs. Gao looked at it eagerly, "Master, is this an admission ticket? Whose family does it belong to?"

She had not heard of any students in Huachang County who had been admitted to a private school.
Magistrate Gao tightened his grip and did not answer Madam Gao's question, "Hui'er thinks so too?"

"Of course, who wouldn't want to go to a government school to study?"

Mrs. Gao noticed that he was different today and couldn't help asking, "Master, what's wrong with you?"

Magistrate Gao shook his head, "Nothing."

Then he walked to Gao Hui's yard.

Gao Hui was reciting the book, and Magistrate Gao didn't want to disturb him. Hearing Gao Hui recite an entire book with his own ears, Magistrate Gao felt relaxed and relieved, and the worries in his heart were a little less.

At this moment, he and Mrs. Gao had the same idea. It was a pity that his son was so smart and did not go to a private school to study.

"Father, why are you here?"

Gao Hui ran over, sweating profusely.

Magistrate Gao showed a rare look of relief, "Were you memorizing college lessons just now?"

Magistrate Gao didn't pass the examination, but he was not bad at reading, especially the books Gao Hui memorized were very common in college.

"Yes, I have nothing to do after the exam, so I just want to memorize a few more books. Maybe they will come in handy in the future."

Gao Hui thought about it, and he planned to memorize all the books in his family, so that he could be worthy of his master's hard work.

Magistrate Gao was surprised, "Didn't you like memorizing books the most before? How come you can suddenly memorize so many books?"

If he hadn't confirmed that the person in front of him was his son, he would have doubted whether he was someone else pretending to be him. Before that, he couldn't even memorize an article, let alone a book.

But now, he memorized a book without even pausing.

Gao Hui scratched his head in embarrassment, "Dad, actually this was all taught to me by my master. If it hadn't been for the method that my master gave me to memorize, why wouldn't I be able to memorize it now?"

"master?"

Magistrate Gao couldn't believe it. During this period, he had indeed left early and returned late. But there was no reason why no one told him about such a big thing as his son's apprenticeship.

"Who is your master?"

Gao Hui was stunned for a moment. He had never told his family about his apprenticeship. He also knew that if his parents found out about his apprenticeship with Jiang Miao, they would be angry and might cause trouble for the master. , but now he doesn’t think so.

Without the help of his master, he would not have been able to pass the examination as a scholar.After Gao Hui figured it out, he told County Magistrate Gao that Jiang Miao was his master.

Jiang Miao is Jiang Qian's sister, and Jiang Qian is His Highness's right-hand assistant, which means that his son has fallen in His Highness's eye a long time ago.

A person with no talent like his son can pass the scholar examination through His Highness's guidance. He is much smarter than his son, so his future prospects are limitless.

Magistrate Gao floated up, and he seemed to see a high-ranking official with a generous salary.

Gao Hui was scared to death, "Dad, are you okay? Although the master is a woman, she knows a lot and taught me a lot. Without her, I wouldn't be able to pass the exam today."

He was wrong, he shouldn't have told his father at this time, his father must be furious.

Magistrate Gao excitedly held his son's hand and laughed under Gao Hui's surprised eyes.

Gao Hui was about to cry. He made his father crazy.

Magistrate Gao said, "I didn't expect that your boy, who is more talented than me, would fall into the eyes of a noble man so early?"

Gao Hui was stunned for a moment, what?
What noble man, what is dad talking about?
County Magistrate Gao patted his shoulder happily, "I was wondering how could a noble person give me a letter of recommendation so well. It turns out that's the case. If you tell dad earlier, he won't have to worry about you so much."

Gao Hui was confused by his father, "Dad, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand a word? What kind of noble person or letter of recommendation?"

County Magistrate Gao thought he wanted to give himself a surprise and did not expose it, "It doesn't matter if you don't understand now, you will understand later. In short, the future of our Gao family depends entirely on you."

Gao Hui was given such a heavy burden all of a sudden, which made him breathless.

He suspected that he had made his father so angry that he started talking nonsense.

"Dachong, go and ask the doctor quickly. Dad must be confused."

Magistrate Gao twitched the corner of his mouth and couldn't help but slap him, "You bastard, you're so confused, and you're not so confused at all."

Feeling the pain, Gao Hui woke up and said, "Dad, are you really okay?"

"It's okay, how are you?"

This kid actually expected something to happen to him.

Sure enough, he couldn't give him a good face.

County Magistrate Gao told himself not to be angry, but he was still angry when he saw his son acting stupidly. Can his son really do this?

Gao Hui didn't know what happened to his father. He only saw his father leaving angrily and saying a lot of inexplicable words before leaving.

Early the next morning, Gao Hui stayed in front of Jiang Miao's cloth art.

Seeing Jiang Miao appear, she immediately approached him eagerly. When she opened her mouth, she was full of grievances, "Master?"

Jiang Miao slipped and almost fell.

When I looked closely, it turned out to be Gao Hui, and I was very angry. "Why did you come here without studying so early in the morning? I was shocked. I thought it was who it was."

Gao Hui scratched his head, not expecting to scare her, and quickly apologized, "Master, I didn't mean it. I came to you because I have something to tell you."

Jiang Miao didn't look at him as if he was pretending. He was still a cheap apprentice after all. As a master, he couldn't just ignore him when he encountered difficulties. "Come with me."

Entering the back hall, Gao Hui couldn't wait to speak, "Master, my father wants to send me away and send me to the Yuzhou Prefecture School to study. But how can I go to the Prefecture School to study?"

"Why can't you do it? You are now an upright scholar. Isn't it normal for your father to ask you to go to a private school? Why don't you want to go?"
