Chapter 438 Persistence
Think about it, the old scholar has been dead for almost two years.
According to the regulations, Xiaowu will be able to take the imperial examination in the spring of the following year after mourning for three years. If everything goes well, he will take the provincial examination in the autumn. If he passes, Xiaowu will only be sixteen years old.
He is so anxious to take the imperial examination just for revenge. He is still a child.
"Hey~, time flies. In a blink of an eye, Xiaowu is already fourteen years old. Mother has seen you studying for a long time every day recently. Do you have any experience?"
As far as she knows, the imperial examination is held once a year in spring.
The provincial examination is held every three years in autumn.
The mourning period for her family is the summer of next year, so the imperial examination can only be held in the spring of the next year. In the same year, it is also the autumn examination held every three years.
If this kid really holds his breath and wins the title of a scholar in one fell swoop, oh my God, his revenge momentum may not be suppressed.
Listening to his mother's question, Xiaowu closed the book, subconsciously straightened his chest, his eyes full of confidence,
"Don't worry, mother, my son has learned a lot from studying recently."
"That's good. If there are any places you don't understand, mark them down. When you have time, go to the ordinary scholar in the town and let him help you solve your doubts."
Xiaowu didn't go to the town school, and all the old friends of the old scholar were no longer in touch. Only the scholar Chang still cared about this friendship. At the beginning of spring, he sent spring pancakes to him.
Tell them that if they have anything, they can go to the town to find him.
People care about this friendship, so they naturally have to appreciate it.
Listening to his mother's advice, Xiaowu shook his head, "Don't bother the scholar, my son's study is going well, and there is nothing blocked."
Bai Yunxi: "..."
This is the momentum of a top student, with the capital to be proud.
"That's great. We have land and food at home, so we don't have to worry about food and drink. Just concentrate on studying and strive to make a name for yourself. If your father knew about this, he would be very pleased."
"Don't worry, mother. I will definitely not let you down."
Xiao Wu stood up straight, bowed to Bai Yunxi with a serious face, and spoke solemnly.
Bai Yunxi looked at him, and the corners of her lips trembled barely noticeably.
"In fact, you don't need to put too much pressure on yourself. It's good to have faith in life, but being too obsessed with it will make you lose interest and put the cart before the horse. Your father hopes that you will bring honor to the family and change the family's status, but he doesn't want you to put pressure on yourself."
"Too much obsession, to put it bluntly, is greed, which is a burden. Take your great uncle as an example. He got our private school and was full of confidence to develop it. As a result, he ran around for months but got nothing."
"What about now? How proud you were at the beginning, how depressed you are now. You can't hire a teacher, so you can only continue to suspend school."
If there are no children coming to class, you can only stare blankly. No matter how cheap you get it, the result is a loss.
When talking about the private school, Xiaowu's eyes flashed with gloom.
"My uncle has been trapped in his own trap. He deserves this. I am not surprised. I have no talent, but it is stupid to think about the private school."
When he passed the imperial examination, he would not accept the private school even if his uncle offered it to him.
By then, he would definitely buy another piece of land at the head of the village and build a school that belongs to him completely. He would recruit students and no one would be allowed to peek.
My father listened to the suggestion of his grandfather out of consideration for family affection, but what was the result? When people leave, the tea gets cold. People close to him start to plot against him. If he follows in his father's footsteps again, that would be really stupid.
Listening to Xiaowu's voice, Bai Yunxi was stunned. Xiaowu wanted to inherit his father's legacy and continue to run a private school?
