Zhenfubao waved his hand and the warehouse was full of grain, and the whole family regretted it

Chapter 451 Immediately, come and call me uncle

Mrs. Bai waved her hands quickly and said sincerely:

"We all treat Gu Sinian as our own child, as long as he is happy.

What we thought was that he could come to our house every day to learn something.

We plan to have Liu Quanzhou teach him in the mansion. Do you think this is feasible?"

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Gu's eyes flashed with surprise, and she quickly nodded and said, "Of course it's possible. Thank you very much for taking such great care of Si Nian."

A group of people were talking animatedly when a dozen children came in to pay their respects.

Madam Gu looked at them and smiled faintly, saying, "You've come at the perfect time. Come and meet your uncle..."

The children were all confused and whispered to each other, "Where did this uncle come from? I've lived in this family for so long, but I've never heard of such a uncle."

A Yao beside him nodded vigorously and echoed:

"That's right, I always thought I knew all the elders in the family.

It's so strange that this uncle suddenly appeared. "

Xiaohu frowned, his face full of confusion:

"He is my uncle? I am already over 10 years old, how old is he?

To have a child my age call him "Uncle" is inappropriate no matter how you think about it!

The second child was even more excited, waving his hands and shouting:

"That's right, what's the big deal? If I had to call a kid younger than me "uncle," I'd be laughed to death if it got out.

No, I won’t scream.”

General Gu said with a cold face: "Who dares to disobey orders? Punish according to family rules!

Come over here and call me uncle immediately!"

He cast his gaze upon the crowd present, shook his head helplessly, and said, "Every one of them is a bunch of naughty kids. It's harder than climbing to the sky to get them to do their homework."

Gu Siyong from the second family was dissatisfied, curled his lips, and muttered softly:

“What’s so great about him?

He's just a kid who grew up in the countryside. How can he be any better than us?

He still wants to suppress us, what a joke! I’m afraid he hasn’t even learned the Three Character Classic! "

Liu Quanzhou sneered, "Three Character Classic? Then what do you know?"

Gu Siyong raised his head, his nostrils almost pointing to the sky, and said loudly:

"I know a lot! It's not just enlightenment books like the Three Character Classic.

I've also read a lot of classics like the Analects, and I've also learned quite a bit of the Four Books and Five Classics."

When Liu Quanzhou heard this, a hint of interest flashed in his eyes. He raised his eyebrows slightly and asked slowly, "Oh? Then tell me, which of the Four Books and Five Classics have you learned? Tell me about it."

When Gu Siyong heard this, a hint of subtle panic flashed across his face, but he quickly pretended to be calm, cleared his throat and said:

"I... I studied The Great Learning and The Doctrine of the Mean, and the principles in them are profound.

I...I almost understand it all!"

Liu Quanzhou stroked his beard gently, with a meaningful smile on his face, and slowly spoke:

"That's quite a coincidence. Gu Sinian also knows a little bit about it. He has also studied a little bit of The Great Learning and The Doctrine of the Mean.

How about we come up with a question and test them?"

When General Gu heard this, he immediately became interested. A gleam of light flashed in his eyes. He waved his hand and said loudly:

"Gather these brats together and take this opportunity to test them.

He is usually too indulgent. This Gu Siyong is the smartest child in our house and plans to take the Tongsheng exam this year."

Liu Quanzhou nodded quickly, his smile growing wider. "That would be great, of course. It would also give the children a chance to learn from each other and make progress together."

Gu Siyong originally wanted to use his knowledge to suppress Gu Sinian and vent his anger, but he never expected that his show-off would put himself in trouble.

His eyes began to panic, and he subconsciously tugged at the corner of his clothes. He felt extremely regretful and secretly complained, "Now this is bad! I've really ended up losing more than I gained! I've ended up in trouble!"

Liu Quanzhou was dressed in a long robe and had an upright posture. Although he had resigned from the position of prime minister, he still exuded an air of elegance and majesty.

He sat at the desk with a steady look in his eyes. He picked up his pen, dipped it in ink, thought for a moment, and then wrote quickly on the paper. In a flash, he finished a set of examination questions for the students.

Soon, the test papers were distributed to the children.

I saw several children couldn't wait to open the test paper, glanced at the questions, and quickly picked up the brush, dipped it in ink, and started writing.

Among these children, some came from General Gu’s Mansion. The Gu family was well-known in the city and was divided into the main branch and the side branch. Although the total number of children in the family was only more than 20 people.

They either had slightly frowned brows or focused their eyes. Their handwriting was neat and powerful, revealing a calmness that was inconsistent with their age.

On one side of the examination room, General Gu, wearing a black cloak, with white hair but a vigorous spirit, looked at Gu Si Nian with loving eyes and said in a low voice: "Si Nian, you must have suffered a lot outside, right?"

Madam Bai stood aside and nodded slightly when she heard this:

"Isn't it? Back then, our village was hit by a famine. We were fleeing all the way, and it was a year of disaster. It was really hard to endure.

I stuffed everything I could eat along the way, and suffered so much."

Lin Fugui, a stocky man dressed in plain coarse linen, echoed the sentiment, nodding his head repeatedly, and said with lingering fear:

"The young master and I almost died. If Zhao Qiaoniang and the others hadn't rescued us, we definitely wouldn't be alive today.

It's a blessing that the young master can return safely!"

General Gu, full of gratitude, looked at Lin Fugui and Madam Bai sincerely, clasped his hands together, and said solemnly:

"Thank you so much, if it weren't for your careful care, how could Si Nian be raised to be so outstanding.

He is suffering outside, and it is a blessing for him to have you protecting him."

In the examination room, time passed quietly and the children were concentrating on answering the questions.

Only Gu Siyong was fidgeting. He frowned, scratched his ears and cheeks with his hands, and his eyes drifted to the servant next to him from time to time.

Liu Quanzhou sat in the main seat, holding the teacup, took a sip of tea, and said softly:

"Gu Siyong, where are you looking? Look carefully at your paper!

Misbehavior in the exam room must be dealt with according to the rules. You will not be tolerated for being so reckless!"

General Gu's face darkened, and he nodded repeatedly, saying with a look of regret:

"That's right, this kid is such a loser! He's always so impulsive, and now he's still so unstable in the exam room.

Siyong, concentrate on writing the test paper and stop looking around!"

Gu Siyong couldn't help but shrink his neck, quickly lowered his head, and pretended to answer the questions seriously.

An hour passed in a flash, the children stopped writing and the test papers were collected one by one.

Everyone sat together, preparing to mark the test papers.

This examination for students of higher learning mainly examines classics, history, poetry, songs, and policy essays, which are the essence of knowledge.

It not only tests children's understanding of classics, but also tests their thinking and writing skills.
