I'll be a nanny for the lord

Chapter 699 I Have a Condition

In fact, if you think about it carefully, Tang Shanchang is a well-known contemporary Confucianist, and what he said will definitely spread to scholars in the shortest possible time.What's more, what's more, now he's talking about accepting disciples?
How many literati in the world dream of joining his disciples, and usually these people try to send their articles to him in order to win his favor.However, an expert like Tang Shanzhang is definitely not something that anyone can see, so these people have been desperately seeking a way to get close to Tang Shanzhang!

But at this time, Master Tang Shan let out the word - no matter who it is, as long as it surpasses my closed disciple in the Six Arts, I will accept him as a closed disciple instead!
This news will definitely spread to everyone's ears as quickly as the howling wind.As far as those literati are concerned, if they can't catch Tang Shanzhang, can they still not catch Tang Shanzhang's little apprentice?

Regardless of the final result of the competition, it is always good to try.If they lose, they will be convinced, and if they win, they will be able to become the direct disciples of the great Confucianism in the world!

No matter what the deal is, it's not a loss!
As a result, countless people were moved upon hearing the news, and they swarmed towards Gu Yuanlong in groups and surrounded him tightly.

As for what Tang Shanchang said about 'what you said before doesn't count'?They won't listen at all!

And as the head of Tangshan, he can't say such words!

So, in the end, he could only feel sorry for Gu Yuanlong.

Then look at Gu Yuanlong standing beside him with drooping eyes. After such a long time, his figure is still very thin.Especially in contrast to Gu Yuanhao's thick-headed younger brother, he was so delicate that he could be blown away by a gust of wind.

A trace of guilt flashed in Tang Shanchang's eyes again.

"The old man has already let the word out that this competition is limited to the end of the year. Since it is already the New Year, what the old man said last year will not be effective. From this year onwards, no one will come to him to compete. He can take a good rest .”

"Really? You mean, you plan to keep him at home and recuperate for a year?" Xia Ying jumped with joy.

"This is absolutely impossible!" Tang Shan shook his head immediately, "What the old man said means that this year, the old man will try to stay in the academy as much as possible, so that he can study and recuperate in the academy in peace. It's good for a year of recuperation, and by the way, the two Sort out and absorb what he saw and heard in the study abroad in [-], and that will be enough for him to be busy for a year. And then...he should go to the township examination. "

Xia Ying's heart tightened again.

"So fast?" she whispered to herself.

But counting the time, Gu Yuanlong is now 15 years old.

Next year he will be 16 years old, and he will study with Tang Shanzhang for another three years, and he will take the second round of exams.This is the so-called rural examination by Tang Shanchang, that is, the autumn Wei that everyone has agreed upon.After Qiu Wei had passed the exam and obtained the honor of Juren, it was time for Gu Yuanlong to go to Beijing to take the exam and win the honor of Jinshi!
As long as he is successfully named on the gold list, his journey to rehabilitate his family will officially begin.

This is why Tang Shanchang made this decision in such a hurry last year.Because the time is too short, he must let Gu Yuanlong learn the best of all aspects as quickly as possible under strong pressure.

Therefore, let others challenge him, and then he will deal with it alone. This is the best way to check for gaps and improve himself.

It's just that the progress of the matter in the end greatly exceeded Tang Shanzhang's expectations at the beginning, so he came to the door in person to apologize.

"If you were given another chance, Mr. Tang Shan, you would definitely make the same choice as before, right?" Xia Ying asked softly.

Tang Shan nodded.

"Of course! The reason why this decision was made, the old man has considered it carefully! However, if given another chance, the old man will definitely not push him directly in front of everyone, but do a screening in advance to control the number of people , so that he won’t get sick all his life.”

Xia Ying twitched the corner of her mouth. "It's a pity that it's already like this. It's useless for you to say it. Forget it, we accept your apology. As long as you promise me one condition, this matter will stop here."

"Okay! If you have any conditions, Mrs. Gu, you can just mention them!" Tang Shanchang nodded immediately.

Although Xia Ying looked very fierce, after so many contacts, he knew that this little girl was actually very measured.So he wasn't afraid that Xia Yingzi would open his mouth at all.

Xia Ying said: "I don't have too many requirements, but there is a boy in my family, and he is quite good at studying. Why don't you make an exception and take him into Bailu Academy?"

Tang Shan had a clear expression on his face. "Madam Gu, you mean your second son?"

Gu Yuanhao is actually not a good seedling for academic studies, but he is not stupid either.It is still good for the child to take him into Bailu Academy for gilding and let him be influenced by a famous teacher.For the sake of Gu Yuanlong and Xia Ying's family, he is willing to set this precedent.He thought to himself.

But immediately, Xia Ying shook her head. "No, no, my brother Hao doesn't have much talent in reading and writing, so I won't let him invade the good resources in the academy. Now it's enough to have Brother Long at home to teach him!"

Tang Shan was shocked. "Then Madam Gu, who are you talking about?"

"I'm talking about another boy in my family, he is the son of our housekeeper." Xia Ying said.

The steward's son?
Tang Shanchang became more and more surprised. "White Deer Academy admits students never by their status, only by their talent. If this child is really talented, why don't you let him go to the examination for a scholar's reputation first, and then submit a letter of worship to Bailu Academy? Gu Yuanlong, a senior brother, will do it. If you recommend him, it will be easier for him to enter Bailu Academy."

"That kid won't be able to be a scholar." Xia Ying shook her head.

Tang Shanzhang was even more puzzled.

Xia Ying sighed. "You'll know when you see the kid."

She told Gu Yuanhao. "Brother Hao, go and call Brother Hui over."

"Hey!"

Gu Yuanhao quickly agreed and went out.

After a while, he called Lu Qinghui over.

After four years in Gu's family, Lu Qinghui has grown into a big boy.Because he grew up playing around with Gu Yuanhao since he was a child, now he is very familiar with his body, and he is only half a head shorter than Gu Yuanhao.

But even a tanned skin can't stop the gentleness from his bones. Coupled with Lu Yueniang's meticulous attire, he doesn't look like a practicing family like Gu Yuanhao, but more like a black man. Mian Shusheng.

Even Chief Tang Shan yelled in his heart the moment he saw Lu Qinghui appear.

The bone phase of this child is really good!
Unfortunately……
