Chapter 340 Test his talent and learning
Lin Shuangshuang thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, you have to pay attention to your attitude and you must ask for Mrs. Zhao's consent."
"Also, how do you want to test his knowledge?"
Xiao Chen suddenly took out a paper from his sleeve and said, "I have a scientific examination paper here from three years ago. It's just a spare paper."
Xiao Chen said, looking at Yaomei who was taken away to buy steamed buns by him, and explained: "When I was in the palace before, my mother often forced me to compare with the emperor brother."
"Forcing me to take tests that I couldn't understand at all."
"I have been punished for copying too many such papers."
"Although until now, my answers to these test questions are still literal, and they are still far different from the answers given by the Crown Prince and Tutor."
"But I can write down the test questions that I was punished for copying, and I can also write down the answers to the tutor's questions."
"It's just that it's always someone else's answer sheet, and I can't write the same wonderful answer sheet."
Lin Shuangshuang asked curiously: "Why do you happen to have the test papers with you?"
Xiao Chen explained: "The eldest sister said that she would take me to see my new master today. She also said that his level is definitely higher than Master Sun."
"So I wanted to use this examination paper to test the new master's talent and learning. It is just in use now. It is most suitable to test Master Zhao."
"I used questions in the village to test Mrs. Sun's talent before, but Mrs. Sun's answers were far from those given by the Grand Tutor."
"His level can only stop at that of a scholar!"
Lin Shuangshuang nodded: "So, you want to compare Master Zhao's answer sheet with that of the Crown Prince and Tutor to see if he is truly talented?"
Xiao Chen nodded: "Yes! Taifu is also the number one scholar."
"If Mr. Zhao really has the talent of being the number one scholar, then his answer sheet should be as exciting as the Grand Tutor's!"
Lin Shuangshuang nodded: "Okay."
"But when Mrs. Zhao asks about the origin of the test paper, you must not say the wrong thing."
"Don't worry, eldest sister, I have already thought of my words."
Soon, Yaomei came back from buying buns, and the three of them continued on their way.
Originally, Lin Shuangshuang was ready to become a disciple, but Xiaochen didn't want to become a disciple yet, and she couldn't force it.
I can only buy some fruit snacks and lamb legs in the town. I don’t have to do the apprenticeship ceremony yet, but I can’t go empty-handed.
Yaomei asked: "Sister, should I also study with Master Zhao?"
"Well, Mrs. Zhao is very knowledgeable, and her wife also comes from a scholarly family. He also has a son and a daughter at home. You two and a half-year-old children will not attract gossip if you live here."
"Firstly, you two siblings take care of each other, and secondly, you have such a good master to teach you, so you can't miss this good opportunity."
"Sister, will you come to see us often?"
"Don't worry, Sanjie Gu and I's clothing store will open in a while. After winter, the crops in the fields will stop growing. I won't have to stay in the village every day. Then I can just take my two babies with me." If I come to live in the town, I can naturally visit you all the time."
When the two of them heard this, they immediately felt relieved.
The carriage stopped in an alley, and the three of them walked in carrying gifts.
The three of them walked to the door of a small courtyard and saw a woman in a gray coarse skirt washing clothes in the courtyard.
Next to her was a little girl of three or four years old. The little girl had two little knots on her head. The two little knots were swaying as she ran and jumped, making her look very cute.
Sitting under the tree to the east was a middle-aged man of about thirty years old.
The man was wearing a gray-blue gown. The clothes were a little white after washing, and there were two or three patches on them. It was obvious that their life was very difficult.
The man was reading a book and seemed to be so absorbed in reading that he even forgot about his usual way of stroking his beard.
"Ah... Aunt Lin is here, Aunt Lin wants to give me a hug..."
The little girl seemed to be very familiar with Lin Shuangshuang, and ran over with her short legs to give her a hug.
Lin Shuangshuang was afraid that the child would fall, so she hurriedly knelt down and opened her hands to protect her.
"Miaomiao, run slowly."
Mrs. Zhao told her as she stood up and wiped the water stains on her hands, and went out to greet her. The man under the tree also put down his book and came to greet him.
Lin Shuangshuang held Miaomiao in her arms. Looking at the pink little girl, she thought of her daughter, and her heart felt extremely soft.
"Has Miaomiao been very good lately?"
"Miaomiao is good. Miaomiao misses Aunt Lin very much. Aunt Lin is beautiful."
Lin Shuangshuang was amused by the little girl's sweet mouth. She quickly took out a snack from the package and handed it to her, and filled her little pocket with candies.
The little girl's eyebrows were curved with joy, and her big watery eyes were a little too bright, as if they were twinkling like stars.
"Miaomiao, please thank Aunt Lin quickly. You can't be rude."
"Ms. Lin, you are here. The child is ignorant and makes you laugh."
"Come in and sit down." Mrs. Zhao seemed a little embarrassed, but the enthusiasm and gratitude on her face were genuine.
Zhao Mu also hurried forward to greet the guests, and Lin Shuangshuang hurriedly presented the gifts.
Zhao Mu looked at the gifts brought by Lin Shuangshuang, with an obvious look of disappointment flashing in his eyes.
It's not that he dislikes the lack of gifts, he even knows that the value of these gifts is more expensive than the apprenticeship ceremony.
But these are not real apprenticeship ceremonies, which means that they have no intention of becoming apprentices.
He thought that someone was finally willing to believe in him, that he had real talent and learning, and that he was willing to let his children become their teacher.
Hey!
After all, he was delusional!
That incident had a lifelong impact on him, and he should never try to turn around in his life.
Mrs. Zhao looked at the disappointment in her husband's eyes and felt distressed for a moment, but she quickly came to her senses and welcomed the guests warmly.
Even if the other party was suspected of not keeping his word, she had no intention of blaming Lin Shuangshuang.
Without Lin Shuangshuang's help, their family would have continued to move to a more remote and wild place, hiding there for the rest of their lives.
"Ms. Lin, please sit down quickly. I'll pour you some tea."
"These are Xiaochen and Yaomei. They are so good-looking, and they are full of aura at first glance."
Lin Shuangshuang sent a gift, but Zhao Mu and his wife refused to accept it at all.
If they can accept the apprenticeship ceremony legitimately, otherwise they will not receive the reward and will not feel at ease accepting the gift.
Lin Shuangshuang explained the purpose of his visit and expressed it tactfully. He wanted his two children to stay and study, but the apprenticeship ceremony could not be performed for the time being because Xiaochen already had another master. His master had set a rule that he could not become a second master within a year and had to wait for one year. You can only become a disciple after one year.
Zhao Mu knew that the other party was lying, but he still accepted her reason.
At least Mrs. Lin still cares about his feelings and protects his self-esteem.
Unlike others, it is a shame for a scholar to directly point his nose at you and scold you.
It's your honor to have my child study with you, and you're really overestimating your capabilities if you even dream of becoming a teacher.
He had heard such words countless times!
Those people were polite at first, but once they learned his identity, they cursed him and took the child away immediately.
