The scholar from the Zhou family has gone to work!

The news seemed to have been given wings and spread quickly in Zhoujiaao.

When the villagers heard the news, they rushed to the Zhou family's place to watch, including the Zhou family's patriarch.

Of course, Zhou Yaoming, the youngest son of the patriarch who was studying, also came.

I saw that he looked about twenty years old, his body was slightly thin, and he was wearing a half-old robe that was not new and was a little swaying.

Perhaps because he doesn't work in the wild all year round, his skin is very white, and his deliberately put on a scholar's shelf, his overall image is very incompatible with the neighbors around him.

Zhou Yaoming did not feel that he was not sociable, but instead was complacent about his outstanding appearance.

Over the years, he has been aiming at Zhou Yaozu, a cousin from the family next door, and always thinking about getting fame like him and being famous for his youth.

For many nights, he even thought secretly that he would be ahead of Zhou Yaozu and become the best person in Zhou Jiaao, making his brother and sister-in-law who thought he spent money on studying looked at him differently.

They also made those who joked about him secretly turn around and flatter him and please him.

Unfortunately, beautiful dreams are beautiful dreams after all, and they will never change reality.

Zhou Yaoming was also enlightened at the age of six. He started to try to enter the examination room at the age of thirteen. As a result, he took the exam once and failed the exam every year. He failed every year.

He is twenty-one years old this year and has taken the exam nine times, but he is still a white child.

The brothers and sisters-in-law looked at him colder and colder. The parents who were looking forward to him no longer allowed him to ask for it. Even the wife, who had always respected him, began to carefully advise him not to read it again.

Zhou Yaoming hated God for being unfair, hated his bad luck, hated his family for not understanding, did not support him, and hated those who looked down on others.

In order to "shock" his family, he increasingly put on the air of a scholar.

It is said that if anyone says something like asking him to do work, he will throw it to the other party a sentence "It is a disgrace to be a gentleman."

Zhou Yaoming thought he was maintaining the pride of scholars, but he did not know that he had become a waste in the eyes of Zhoujiaao villagers and a negative teaching material for everyone to educate their children.

Even because of his existence, many parents who hoped that their children would not easily send their children to school.

I am afraid that my children will not be able to study, but instead, it will become a waste of Zhou Yaoming who is not good at doing anything like this, even making a living is a problem, and it is a pretentious waste!

They are not the patriarchs, and they don’t have so many property that they can squander.

Zhou Yaoming didn't know what the villagers thought of him. Maybe he knew it, but he didn't care. He still regarded Zhou Yaozu as his idol in his heart.

As a result, his idol is now wearing coarse linen clothes and working in the field like a vulgar old farmer. Zhou Yaoming suddenly felt that the image in his heart had collapsed.

"Brother Gao Yuan, how can you go to work in the fields? Isn't this a disgrace to his ethics?"

Zhou Yaoming stood on the ridge of the field and shouted angrily, as if he was blaming Zhou Yaozu for betraying them scholars.

Gao Yuan was the one Zhou Yaozu went to the academy to study, and in order to be elegant, he specially asked his husband to give him the word.

In order to show that he is a scholar, Zhou Yaoming never called Zhou Yaozu "Brother Yaozu" like brothers of other clans, but instead called him "Brother Gao Yuan".

Anne traveled through several lifetimes and had never done farm work, but she thought that she had been a special forces soldier at least, and she had to carry out any hard training. Are she still afraid of going to work in the fields?

So, after breakfast in the morning, she asked Zhou Yaozong that he had borrowed a linen cloth clothes and took his two sons to the floor.

Don’t ask him why he doesn’t wear Zhou Yaozu’s old clothes. The Zhou family really takes care of Zhou Yaozu too much. His good clothes are all fresh in his wardrobe.

Even if there are one or two old clothes, the fabric is excellent, and there is no coarse linen that the farmers wear.

The coat was rough, but Anne could bear it.

But what she didn't expect was that the farm work in the fields would be so tiring.

This kind of fatigue is completely different from the fatigue of being a soldier.

After training, my muscles hurt.

But the most tiring thing about doing farm work is the waist.

Whether it is weeding, fertilizing or watering, you will bend over. After a day, you will naturally have a back pain and your legs will hurt badly.

In addition, Zhou Yaozu is used to being pampered and has gained some weight because he eats well.

I feel really uncomfortable with a small belly but still bent down to work.

Just as Annie was so tired that her calves were spinning and sweating profusely, she heard Zhou Yaoming’s shouting.

Anne took the opportunity to stand up, put a gaze on her hand and looked at the ridge of the field, and was immediately startled.

Good guy, why are there so many people coming?

Annie knew after a moment of thinking about it. Zhou Yaozu is the only scholar in Zhou Jiaao at present, and she usually looks like a noble person.

Have you ever been to the ground?

Such a pampered and talented man suddenly went to the fields to work, and the villagers were naturally curious.

As for Zhou Yaoming, Annie shook her head. This person was even worse than Zhou Yaozu.

Although Zhou Yaozu was a scumbag, he did have the talent for studying, otherwise he would not have passed the exam for a scholar.

Zhou Yaoming was not a good source of study at all. He had not memorized the Analects of Confucius for a year.

I often remember one article and forget it in a blink of an eye.

When a bear broke the stick, at least one left in the end, Zhou Yaoming was not even as good as a bear. At the end of his learning, he only learned some words and could not memorize a whole article.

After learning like this, how can you pass the imperial examination?

The private school gentleman advised him several times to stop wasting his family's money.

Zhou Yaoming only pretended not to understand, and the gentleman had to suggest that he try another private school.

In order to send off Zhou Yaoming, an over-age student, the teacher did not hesitate to complain: I have limited talent and may delay your studies. Why not find another famous teacher?

The private school in the neighboring village is the cheapest private school in the township, and this gentleman can teach the youngest scholar in Qi County, and he has real talent and knowledge.

Zhou Yaoming knew that if he couldn't stay in this private school, his family would definitely not let him go anywhere else.

In order to continue to realize his dream of studying, Zhou Yaoming was shameless and attended class with a group of children under ten years old.

In the original plot, Zhou Yaozu ruined the Zhou family. The Zhou clan leader witnessed the tragic situation of the Zhou family and immediately divided the family and separated Zhou Yaoming, who was about to study, and left the family.

Although the leader of the Zhou clan was worried that his younger son would implicate his family like Zhou Yaozu, he did not really care about his younger son.

Therefore, when the family was separated, I gave my younger son a lot of money.

If Zhou Yaoming stopped studying and did nothing, he could live a peaceful life with the money from the separation of the family.

As for Zhou Yaoming, as soon as he split up his family, he sold a few acres of land and went to the county town to study with the money.

He can't get into Qingyun Academy, after all, he has to take the exam.

Zhou Yaoming then found a private school run by a juren with a good reputation. He spent more than ten years studying for six taels a year.

Then, he continued to repeat the life of "did not pass the exam every year" and sold out all the land and houses at home.

The two daughters were sold, and the son died of illness because he was sick and had no money to buy medicine.

The wife suffered one after another and overworked. She also went there just a few days after her son died.

The family was gone, and Zhou Yaoming went crazy. He wore a torn robe and cried and laughed, carrying "He is a farmer in the morning and climbed to the emperor's hall in the evening". "There is a golden house in the book, and the beautiful woman in the book" ran wildly on the street.

At first his brother would take care of it, but after a long time, he let him be crazy.

Finally one winter day, Zhou Yaoming ran out of the house again and froze to death on the roadside.

Since then, the villagers of Zhoujiaao no longer dared to send their children to study, so that Zhoujiaao has not produced a scholar in thirty or forty years.

Whenever a child says he wants to study, the villagers will bring Zhou Yaozu and Zhou Yaoming out to talk about it, so that both of them have been dead for many years, and they are still the opposite examples of Zhou Jiaao's education of his son!

After the original owner died, his soul remained undispersed. Seeing these, he thought about becoming the most promising person in Zhoujiaao.

I guess he also has a hidden wish, which is to become the best person in Zhoujiaao and even Qi County, and to become the "child of other people's families" that all parents envy!

Annie thought to herself, but she didn't show her face. She walked to the edge of the field and said to Zhou Yaoming with a smile: "Why is it 'indulgent and insulting people'? My cousin is well-read in poetry and books, so she must have heard of the word 'farming and reading'. In ancient times, the wise men and famous scholars were proud of 'farming and reading', so how could they talk about the word 'indulgent'?"

"Farming and reading to pass on family? Yaozu, what do you mean is that scholars can also go to the fields to do rough work?" a villager asked curiously.

Zhoujiaao is really too remote. In decades, a scholar appeared.

We have never met many scholars at all. We thought that after studying, we would do nothing like Zhou Yaozu and Zhou Yaoming.

Annie smiled, "Of course! Not to mention those famous scholars in ancient times, even the gentlemen from our academy, they would also serve the vegetable fields and raise some chickens and ducks when they were free."

"Farming is the top priority in the world. Even the emperor in the capital can also engage in farming. Farming is not cheap at all."

"Also, studying and working are not at all conflicted. When you are tired of studying, you can work so that you can also exercise your body. You don't know that you haven't taken the imperial examination. The exam is also a physical job. Your body is too weak and you can't hold on at all."

Annie's words seemed to open up a brand new world for the villagers of Zhoujiaao.

Even Zhou Xiande and Zhou Xiancheng, who were so tired, were a little surprised when they heard this: "Dad, are you so tired in the exam?"

Although Zhou Xiande participated in the hospital examination this year, he was only excited at the time and did not feel too tired.

Annie nodded, "Of course. The child exam is better. It's like the provincial exam. It takes three consecutive days to take the exam. The room is narrow and there can only be one person sitting, but you have to stay in it for a whole day..."

Annie gestured at the number room she remembered and then introduced it carefully to everyone.

"Oh my God, I'm so suffering."

"No, I must be tired if I sit in such a place for a day."

In the eyes of villagers, the Gongyuan is definitely a sacred place. The first time I heard about what happened there in my life, everyone is extremely novel.

"Many people, who do not pay attention to their health and cannot withstand the pressure of exams, faint after being halfway through the exam."

Anne continued, “Every year, there are many candidates who are being carried out in the examination room. They can’t even finish the exam, let alone pass the exam.”

"Many students from farm families can persist until the end because they usually do farm work and are in good health."
