"Chen Yuanwai?" Huang Tinghui looked at the man in front of him in shock. He never expected that Chen Yuanwai would come to Huangjia Village and appear in front of him.

"Exactly!" Chen Yuanwai smiled and looked at Huang Tinghui and said, "Yesterday happened to be my mother's birthday. Because of my mother's birthday, I was not able to come to congratulate my nephew on this big day."

"Today should be my nephew's first day after getting married. It's really annoying to choose this time to visit."

It must be said that Chen Yuanwai is not only rich, but also from a wealthy local family.

His self-cultivation is something that few people can match.

No wonder Chen Yuanwai has such a high reputation among farmers.

"Exceptor Chen, there is no nuisance, absolutely no nuisance!"

"Yesterday was Chen's mother's birthday, so you were busy too!"

Looking at Mr. Chen, whom he had only met once, Huang Tinghui didn't know what to say for a while.

Seeing Huang Tinghui's restrained look, Chen Yuanwai smiled and said, "Nephew Huang, this time Chen comes to see you for three things!"

Huang Tinghui became more serious when he heard that Chen Yuanwai got straight to the point. He looked at Chen Yuanwai and waited for the next words to come.

"The first thing is the couplet, which you gave to my mother on her birthday to express your gratitude."

"In ancient times, big chun trees never grew old, and hills with osmanthus trees were the most suitable for autumn."

"What a good couplet. My mother likes this couplet very much!"

"On her birthday that day, she was very happy when she saw this couplet, and she kept asking who the talented person was who wrote it." Chen Yuanwai said to Huang Tinghui with a smile.

"I also had a sudden inspiration that day, and I just happened to catch it!"

"It is Tinghui's honor to write a couplet for Chen Yuanwai's mother." Huang Tinghui also said quickly.

"Nephew Huang Xian doesn't need to be too humble. If he can win the lucky couplet, there is no need to say much."

"The manager of my family has a very high vision, which is enough to prove that Huang Xiannephew is extremely talented." Chen Yuanwai was polite to Huang Tinghui.

"But nephew Huang Xian, I came to you today not just for this matter, but also because I was entrusted by someone."

"Do you remember Chen Xiucai in our Zhuangzi?"

"He accepted you as a disciple the day before yesterday. He was supposed to accept you as his disciple next spring."

"But Chen Xiucai was seriously ill yesterday, and today he and his wife went to the county town to see a doctor, so I'm afraid I won't be able to teach my nephew!"

"That's why he asked me to say something to you!" At this point, Chen Yuanwai's face became a little ugly.

Got seriously ill and ran away all night!

Are you kidding me?

Can this fool Huang Tinghui?

Anyone with any sense would know that this is definitely not a coincidence.

Chen Yuanwai is a kind man who knows etiquette, justice and integrity. Of course he knows what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd of the scholar of his own clan.

It is precisely because of this that Chen Yuanwai, who has always been upright, feels ashamed of the despicable behavior of his own people.

Hearing what Chen Yuanwai said, Huang Tinghui was stunned.

What's all this?

You haven't even studied with that guy yet. That guy took Shu Xiu and ran away overnight carrying the "locomotive"?

Huang Tinghui was extremely confused at this time. How could he have imagined that after he came to this world, he would encounter such a strange person.

If you didn’t want to teach me, you shouldn’t have agreed to it then!

Even if you regret something at the last moment, you just take the bundle you gave you and run away?

At least give Shu Xiu back!

Huang Tinghui was speechless immediately. No wonder this old scholar is still a scholar after taking exams for so many years.

This character has been completely ruined!

Huang Tinghui was extremely depressed.

As if he also felt Huang Tinghui's depression and dissatisfaction, Chen Yuanwai coughed twice and said to Huang Tinghui: "The friendship between teachers and students is fate, but the fate between Huang Xiannephew and my fellow clan member is not the same."

"Nephew Huang Xian is full of knowledge. That person did not allow Nephew Huang to be his disciple. That was his fault."

Chen Yuanwai quickly comforted him, but his words were not nonsense. After all, Chen Yuanwai had read Huang Tinghui's good calligraphy.

Coupled with the pairing "In ancient times, big chuns were immortal, while hills and cassia trees were the most suitable for autumn", Chen Yuanwai was even more convinced of Huang Tinghui's talent.

When the old scholar ran away that night, Chen Yuanwai persuaded the old scholar for a long time.

Unexpectedly, the old scholar had made up his mind and was not moved by Chen Yuanwai.

He also swore to Chen Yuanwai that if he went to take the exam this time, he would be able to pass the examination and be able to honor his ancestors.

Before leaving, the old scholar tried to borrow a few taels of silver from Yuanwai Chen.

But Chen Yuanwai sternly refused.

At this time, the old scholar still owed a lot of debt to Yuanwai Chen. Chen Yuanwai was a very kind person.

But I would not support such an unreliable person.

What happened after that was simple. The old scholar disappeared with his family, most likely going to the county seat.

Regarding this, Chen Yuanwai also felt extremely embarrassed.

After hearing what Chen Yuanwai said, Huang Tinghui also sighed and said with a smile: "Yuan Yuanwai, there is no need to comfort me. When I met the old scholar at that time, I could see that the old scholar had eaten two large bowls of white rice. And I ate a fish.”

"My appetite is surprisingly good, and I don't look like someone who is seriously ill."

"It's just a meal, and it's just a meal for the dogs." Huang Tinghui didn't care too much.

The old scholar's behavior was quite shameless, but there is no need to use other people's shamelessness to make yourself angry.

Huang Tinghui still wants to live his life well. In the final analysis, the old scholar is just an insignificant figure.

Hearing what Huang Tinghui said, Chen Yuanwai's expression became even more embarrassing.

He coughed twice and continued to say to Huang Tinghui: "Nephew Huang Xian, I have a third thing to tell you!"

Chen Yuanwai adjusted his mood, looked into Huang Tinghui's eyes and said seriously.

"Chen Yuanwai, just say it, Tinghui listen!" Huang Tinghui digested the news that Chen Yuanwai brought to him. He was thinking about what he should do if he could not become the disciple of the old scholar?

You must know that ancient Chinese imperial examinations have always been famous for their strict management and fair approach.

In order to prevent the occurrence of imperial examination fraud such as "impersonation of nationality", even the examination for children requires scholars as a guarantee.

According to the law, native-born students (that is, scholars who have already won the exam) can sponsor children who take the exam.

The children also need to guarantee each other, and five of them will form a knot.

If Huang Tinghui wanted to take the imperial examination, it was necessary to become a scholar.

Otherwise, you will not even be qualified to take the exam.

Everything is of inferior quality, but reading is of high quality.

In this era of prosperous culture and education, if Huang Tinghui wanted to live a good life, he might have tried the imperial examination.

"Nephew Huang Xian, my son is about the same age as you. He is currently studying in a private school in the provincial capital. His teacher is a well-known Confucian scholar in our great prosperity."

"My youngest son is currently short of a bookboy, if nephew Huang Xian is willing."

"As a scholar, I can study with my son under that great scholar."

"Nephew Huang Xian, what do you think?" Chen Yuanwai looked at Huang Tinghui and said.

He is waiting for Huang Tinghui's reply.
