When Ye Liwen decided to go to Hanchen Academy to study, Ye Hongchang had already asked about it again.

I learned that the dean of this academy was a civil servant. After winning the imperial examination, he wanted to benefit his hometown, so he returned to his hometown and opened this academy.

However, in the 20 years since its establishment, it has produced one Jinshi and five imperial examinations, which is quite good for an academy in the town.

The dean is fair in his dealings and will not look down on students just because their families are poor. As long as you are a material for studying, the academy will treat you equally.

After asking about it, Ye Hongchang was even more relieved.

Ye Liwen has a quiet temper. If he is sent to an academy to study, he is afraid that his nephew will be bullied.

Home is far away, no one is around, and no one can make decisions for him.

He has always been a person who reports good things but not bad things. If he is really bullied, he will probably not say anything when he returns home.

Just thinking about this made Ye Hongchang feel very distressed, so when choosing an academy, he had to consider that the teachers in the academy must be fair.

At present, it seems that Hanchen Academy is indeed Ye Liwen's best choice.

The threshold was the admissions exam, but he thought that his nephew would definitely pass.

The admissions exam is coming soon. Ye Hongchang has prepared gifts and wants to take Ye Liwen to meet the gentleman from the academy again.

I hitched up the carriage, loaded it with some mountain goods I had stored at home, and went to sell it again on the way.

Ye Liwen didn't understand the intention. After the carriage drove for a while, he said, "Second uncle, didn't you say that the admissions exam will be in three days? What are you going to the academy for now?"

Ye Hongchang said, "I didn't take you with me to the academy last time. I said that my nephew is smart and a good candidate for studying. Mr. Zhou said that he wanted to meet him if he had a chance. Today I am going to sell mountain products, so you can go and meet him. .”

Ye Liwen thought to himself, could it be that his second uncle was afraid that he would fail the exam and wanted to bring a gift to Tongtong Pass?

He didn't want to do this, but he didn't want to let down Ye Hongchang's kindness, so he didn't know what to say.

Ye Hongchang knew that this child liked to think wildly, but he didn't like to say it out loud.

He smiled and said, "Brother Wen, there is no shortage of students in this academy. We won't recruit you just because we are trivial. In the end, you still have to rely on your own abilities."

"I'm taking you to meet your husband, mainly because I want you to have a chat with him to see if Hanchen Academy is what you want to go to. You haven't taken the exam yet. If you feel that your husband and you don't have the same ideas, we can still Change."

Ye Liwen immediately felt embarrassed, "I'm sorry, I thought my second uncle wanted to find a relationship with me."

Ye Hongchang laughed loudly, "I believe in your ability, we won't play those tricks."

Ye Liwen thought to himself that it was great to have such a family member.

They really thought about him at all times and were afraid that he would be wronged.

If he can't read well in this way, it only means that he is not the material for reading at all.

When he arrived in the town, Ye Hongchang stopped the carriage at the intersection and moved the goods into the nearby grocery store. Ye Liwen quickly helped him.

There are still a lot of dates and chestnuts left in the mountains, as well as dried fungus.

Ye Hongchang has been selling here several times before. The shopkeeper and the waiter both know him and know that the goods he brings are very good, so they accept them directly after taking a look at them.

The shopkeeper calculated the money and said, "Brother Ye, keep it for one, two or three dollars. If you have any good products, be sure to bring them to me to sell them."

Ye Hongchang smiled and said, "Okay, we are all old acquaintances. We can't finish the wild products we get in the mountains. We must sell them. From now on, we will look for shopkeeper Yang."

Shopkeeper Yang took advantage of the situation and said, "Brother Ye is really capable. People say that you have to rely on the people to eat, but you have to have the ability to do it. Yang admires it." Ye Hongchang thanked him, "It's so polite, shopkeeper."

He took Ye Liwen away, and Ye Liwen said, "Second uncle, how much do you want from the academy?"

Ye Hongchang said, "Brother Wen, just study with peace of mind. You don't have to worry about not having enough money at home. There are so many of us and there is no one who cheats or cheats. Could it be that we can't support you as a scholar?"

"If your family wants to think about it well, hard work is of course the most important thing, but someone also needs to study and take the imperial examinations, so that they can truly protect the family in the future."

"When we came to Wushan County, Magistrate Zheng sent us to Xiema Village with just one sentence. Fortunately, the horse thief was taken away, otherwise Xiema Village would have gained many innocent souls. With just one sentence from the official , the people down there are suffering the most."

"This world is in chaos, corrupt officials are rampant, and the people are miserable. Brother Wen has a good mind. If he becomes an official, he will definitely make decisions for the people. There are many people like our Ye family in the world. You want to protect more of them. People, then they need to have greater abilities, do you understand?"

These words made Ye Liwen feel at ease and had a profound impact on his future.

He nodded solemnly, "Second uncle, I will never let you down, nor will I let myself down."

Ye Hongchang was very happy, "Okay, from now on you can study with peace of mind and don't worry about not having enough money at home. My second uncle will find a way to earn money. He used to be able to support your studies. Why can't he do it now?"

"Yeah." Ye Liwen suddenly understood what kind of important responsibility he was shouldering.

Hanchen Academy is on the east side of the town. Outside is the vegetable market, which is just across two streets.

It's very noisy outside, but you can't hear it here, so it's quiet amidst the noise.

Ye Hongchang came with Ye Liwen, saying that he was looking for Mr. Zhou. The concierge went in and told them, and quickly let them in.

"Mr. Zhou is not in class right now. He is waiting for you two in Dezhengtang. Go in and turn left."

Ye Liwen thanked him seriously, "Thank you very much, brother."

The boy chuckled and said, "Go quickly. There are a lot of people looking for Mr. these days, and there will be more people coming soon."

Ye Hongchang and Ye Liwen met Mr. Zhou and asked them to take the gifts. Mr. Zhou said, "I don't accept gifts. If you pass the exam, even if you can't afford it temporarily, Shuyou Academy will accept it. But if you fail, There’s no way I can bring a cart full of gifts.”

Upon hearing this, Ye Liwen's favorable impression of Hanchen Academy doubled.

Ye Hongchang said, "This is not a gift, I am selling it."

Mr. Zhou was embarrassed, and Ye Hongchang laughed, "It's not surprising that many of us call him etiquette, but since Mr. Zhou said so, let's wait until my nephew passes the exam before we give him the apprenticeship ceremony."

The main purpose of coming today is to talk. Mr. Zhou asked Ye Liwen about his knowledge, and Ye Liwen also asked about the content of his usual lectures.

After a conversation, both parties had a certain understanding.

Mr. Zhou was very satisfied with this student and said, "Prepare well and I think you will pass the exam smoothly."

Ye Liwen saluted respectfully, "Thank you sir for your encouragement."

After leaving the academy, Ye Liwen immediately said, "Second uncle, I'm going to study here. I think it's good."

Ye Hongchang nodded, "As long as you like it, that's all. Now you can prepare for the exam with peace of mind."
