Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Chapter 718 Analysis
Zhou Banxia said whatever he thought of at the moment, and also explained to Gu Wenxuan the various reasons why the eldest son and grandson are valued nowadays.

Especially if you follow family rules.

Retirement care and the eldest son.

He was still the eldest son when he died and was buried.

Even if he breaks the pot, he is either the eldest son or the eldest grandson.

Unless the eldest son or grandson has passed away long ago, or left the clan, or was exiled thousands of miles away, who will clean up the mess left behind?

Second son.

Second son.

There's no way to escape.

Just talking about your father.

If I let you choose, which one would you choose?
In other words, it would be difficult to deal with Gu Yangwen and Gu Dalang, the eldest son and grandson? Gu Wenxuan regretfully began to think quickly to find loopholes.

Seeing his thoughtful expression, Zhou Banxia thought something was wrong and quickly grabbed his hand, "Listen to me on how to treat those people.

Don't dirty your hands. Who else can Gu Yangwen and his son instigate to cause trouble for us? Just wait and see. If you don't take action, they will suffer the consequences.

Just treat them as the spice of life. It's fun to see their family conflicts and then to see them jumping up and down and unable to get what they want.

Let's keep them for now. As long as they don't want to kill anyone, let them jump. The more they jump, the more our father will dislike them and the more he will feel sorry for us. What a good target.

If you destroy the target, Dad will have a good life. If the old man pretends to be pitiful again, Dad will feel sorry for him again, and that will be troublesome."

"Okay, I won't do it." Gu Wenxuan agreed quickly, "I'm just angry that they came here when they knew you were in a serious condition, so how could they have the nerve to ask you to meet them.

Or when our parents were not at home, the old lady was confused. There were differences between the elders and the younger generations, and between men and women. She hid herself away and tried to be a good person. "

Zhou Banxia joked, "Maybe they really didn't know they were coming."

"That's possible. She knew exactly when a hen lost an egg, so how could she not know when two living people were missing? Besides, she has been here for quite some time."

What Gu Wenxuan said was interesting. Zhou Banxia really didn't take Mr. Gu and the others to heart. She couldn't help but laugh. Just as she was about to say something funny, she heard Mai Huang coming back.

Mai Huang now knew very well how much Gu Wenxuan disliked Old Man Gu, and when he reported back, he did not try to hide anything and told the truth.

"...Uncle Chang said it was rude, the master and the mistress were not in the house and the door was closed to visitors, he didn't know the old master and the eldest master were coming.

After saying this, he politely asked someone to serve tea, and then Uncle Chang asked the old man with a smile if there was anything important that made him need to see the second master and the second lady today?

Without waiting for the old man to speak, Uncle Chang started talking about the things that the master had told him to do before he left, so as not to disturb the second master and the second mistress.

The Second Master is not at home today. He is busy reviewing his lessons. Even the Second Mistress has long stopped taking care of things. If it is not an urgent matter, please wait for the Master to return home.

After hearing what Uncle Chang said, the eldest master asked Uncle Chang if he knew how much it would cost to attend Jingshan Academy in a year. He said that the master might not know the matter, so he wanted to ask the second master.

Excuse! Gu Wenxuan looked at Zhou Banxia: I was right, right? As soon as Gu Dachang shows up, he, Gu Yangwen, will find another excuse to deal with it without the old man saying anything.

The three of them, grandparents and grandchildren, have a common problem – their on-the-spot reaction is extremely poor. They should be well aware that they are not the kind of people who can improvise.

Before coming here, he must have thought over and over what kind of situation he would encounter, who he would face, what excuse he would make, and what he would say. If he were to come forward, he would definitely have a different explanation.

Zhou Banxia smiled knowingly and motioned Mai Huang to continue.

"Uncle Chang talked to the eldest master and said that he would see who would enter Jingshan Academy. For example, the scholar husband (Gu Wenyu) from the clan leader's family would save a lot of expenses compared to Li Ge'er.

First of all, the tuition fees are completely different. Secondly, the rewards for monthly and ten-day examinations for students and scholars are different. Finally, scholars can make a living by copying books in the academy.

The library of Jingshan Academy is a place where every student can borrow books and copy them, but the library only accepts books copied by scholars or juren. "

Indeed, students below the rank of scholar in Jingshan Academy could copy books for their own use without charging a single piece of paper. It was said that this was to avoid delaying their studies.

This reason is far-fetched, but the students who can study in Jingshan Academy are all from poor families who cannot afford the tuition. Even poor students can be admitted.

This kind of poor students are not only exempt from tuition, but also enjoy treatment similar to that of students on government stipend studying in the county school. Not only are their food and accommodation free, but they also basically receive rewards for monthly and ten-day examinations.

Occasionally you may fail, and a horse may stumble. Even if you have no achievements and may receive some subsidies from the government, it is not a big deal. Unless you fail every time, your benefits will be cancelled after a year.

But the benefits will not be cancelled all at once. First, there will be no tuition fees in the first year, and if the situation remains the same or even declines in the second year, the real change will come in the next year.

In other words, as long as you are admitted to Jingshan Academy with real ability and are among the top five students, Jingshan Academy will give you three years regardless of your family background.

Furthermore, although the students who can be admitted to Jingshan Academy are not required to pass the provincial examination as a starting point before they can take the exam, their levels are still similar.

At the very least, you need to have the ability to pass the county exam. If you are too bad, even with a letter of recommendation, you will be eliminated in the first round of the written test and forget about studying in Jingshan Academy.

If everyone could rely on connections to enter Jingshan Academy, wouldn't that be a complete mess? How could it be worthy of the reputation of being the number one academy in the north?

"...Then Uncle Chang asked the eldest master if he planned to send Young Master Qilang to take the entrance exam for Jingshan Academy. The eldest master just shook his head and said nothing, but the old master spoke up.

He said that the father-in-law of the eldest son of the eldest branch came to visit not long ago and mentioned that since the second master and the second grandmother could recommend brothers from the same family to study at Jingshan Academy, should the eldest son of the eldest branch be allowed to study at Jingshan Academy? "

You really dare to think that you don't even need to take the entrance exam if you get a recommendation letter? Not to mention Gu Dalang, even Li Ge'er almost couldn't pass the third level and couldn't enter Jingshan Academy.

How could a talented person like Gu Dalang, who couldn't even make a fill-in-the-blank question on the scriptures, pass the entrance examination to Jingshan Academy?
Zhou Banxia looked at Gu Wenxuan with a helpless look.

Gu Wenxuan laughed and shook his head.

Listen!

You said last night that Gu Dalang shouldn't take part in the county exam. Even if he passed the prefectural exam, he would still fail in the college exam with such qualifications. It would be better for him to follow in his father's footsteps and learn how to be an accountant.

Regardless of whether the old man was making excuses to talk about Gu Dalang's father-in-law, it was obvious that in the eyes of this pair of excellent father and son, their eldest grandson and eldest son were still unlucky.

It's impossible that you don't have the qualifications. Don't be too smart. The problem is that you are unlucky. You don't have much money to pay for your studies, and the teachers you find are all bad!
"…As he was talking, the old master asked Uncle Chang if the eldest master and the old master were real brothers, and if the first and second masters were closest to the eldest young master of the eldest house?"
