Cen Yingyu is the eldest daughter of the Cen family, the eldest, two years younger than Zhu Bamei.

When she arrived in the backyard, she explained the situation to her father, who was supervising the students' endorsement: "Dad, I asked you to bring a few books and test him to see if he is suitable for studying. Grandma said, you have the final say on this matter.

"

Mr. Cen said softly "Hmm".

"Guangji."

Cen Guangji, who was endorsing the endorsement, quickly stood up: "Mr."

"Take everyone to memorize it. I'll take a test when I come back later. If anyone can't memorize it, I'll get ten copies."

"No." Cen Guangji bowed respectfully.

Although this is his father, he is always the "worst" beaten when it comes to hitting the boards.

You get beaten in class and you get beaten again after class, don't be too miserable.

Cen Yingyu could only give her brother a look of sympathy, but there was nothing she could do to help.

Mr. Cen stood up and left, went around to the study to get two travel books, and then returned to the front yard.

As for Cen Guangji, who was left behind, he touched the non-existent cold sweat on his forehead and looked helplessly at his friends around him: "You must recite it, otherwise I will be beaten again."

The friends also looked sympathetic: "Brother Guangji, you are so pitiful!"

Cen's house, front yard.

Aunt Cen saw her son coming out and waved to him quickly: "Come here quickly, this is Aunt Zhu, and this is her seventh child. Xiaoyu told you, Aunt Zhu wants to send her seventh child to school."

Hint, has your eldest granddaughter made it clear to you about the situation?

Mr. Cen nodded.

Aunt Cen breathed a sigh of relief: It's good that her son understood. Although she and Aunt Zhu had a good conversation, she didn't want to cause any trouble to her son.

Mr. Cen said hello to Ye Yuran.

"Hello, Mr. Cen." Ye Yuran stood up. After saying hello himself, he asked his son and grandson to say hello.

Because they had been taught before, after receiving the hint, Zhu San, Zhu Qi, Dabao, and Erbao all stood up and bowed: "Hello, Mr. Cen."

Ye Yuran and Aunt Cen are of the same generation, so to Mr. Cen he is the "elder", and he is polite and normal, but when it comes to Zhu San and others, he is "sir", which means he is respected. So he just indifferently

He nodded and responded with one word: "Yeah."

After sitting down, Mr. Cen asked Zhu Qi what he had learned.

Zhu Qi honestly memorized several books.

Although he had a photographic memory, Ye Yuran did not. He was able to recite those books thanks to the super memory he inherited from the original owner.

It would be embarrassing if she were asked to write them all out. There are differences between simplified Chinese characters and traditional Chinese characters, so she really couldn't get it 100% correct.

Therefore, she did not teach those who were not sure, and Zhu Qi did not learn everything.

"Yeah." After hearing this, Mr. Cen took a few questions casually.

Pick out a few sentences from the books that Zhu Qi memorized, and assign Zhu Qi to recite the previous sentence or the next sentence.

Because they had been memorized before, Zhu Qi memorized them effortlessly without any mistakes.

Mr. Cen did not comment, but named Dabao and Erbao: "You two, come here too."

Dabao and Erbao were stunned for a moment, then walked over honestly: "Sir, we are my uncle's schoolboys and we don't go to a private school to study."

"Did your uncle teach you?"

"Taught."

"That's enough." Mr. Cen simply picked out a few sentences, and like Zhu Qi, designated them to recite the previous sentence or the next sentence.

During the entire exam, the yard was very quiet.

Because Cen Yingyu knew that her father was here to "take a test", she also ran over to "watch the fun" and admired someone who got all the answers right at her father's place.

Can she say that none of the students she saw, including her second brother Cen Guangji, were able to get the full certificate from her father?

Although Dabao and Erbao were a little nervous, with their uncle standing beside them, they felt somewhat comforted.

"Sir, if we can't recite it, can we have three chances to ask for help from foreign aid?" Dabao is a clever boy. Before answering the question, he wanted to "bargain" with Mr. Cen.

Mr. Cen glanced at him: "What do you think?"

Although Dabao was a little scared, he still mustered up his courage and said, "Okay."

"Answer the question."

Seeing that his husband had no objection, Dabao directly accepted it as a gentleman and answered without saying a word.

I don’t know if Dabao was lucky, but he really didn’t take advantage of the opportunity to “ask for help from foreign aid”.

When Erbao arrived, Erbao answered well at first, but later he became a little slower. However, after the teacher reminded him a word, he stumbled and answered again.

Erbao felt guilty that his answers were not as good as those of his brother-in-law and eldest brother. He glanced at Mr. Cen several times and said, "Sir, you don't think I didn't answer well, so I don't want my brother-in-law anymore, right?"

"Sir, why don't you test my arithmetic? I'm young and can't carry things as well as my elder brother, but I'm very good at arithmetic." When it came to arithmetic, Erbao puffed up his chest and expressed that he was really good at it.

Zhu San was standing next to him, and he almost wanted to cover his eyes: Ouch, you guys have tried to limit the test questions, why are you sending them up yourself? How stupid!

Dabao also looked surprised and quickly added: "Sir, don't make the exam too difficult. We only learned the simplest ones."

Therefore, if you can't answer the question after a while, it's definitely not because we are "stupid", but because your question is out of scope.

Yes, it is beyond the scope.

Although he only drew from a few books, because there was no pattern, it was random, and because Erbao was the youngest, Mr. Cen was actually very satisfied with Erbao's "answer".

Among the students he accepted, most of them were older than Erbao, but there were very few who could memorize it as well as Erbao.

If this was a child raised by a big family, he wouldn't be surprised, but the other person was just from the countryside, which would be "amazing".

In addition, Dabao was only six or seven years old, but he was smarter than any of his students, which surprised him.

Some people are born to study, and some people are not only good at reading, but also smart. Such people are born to be officials.

When Mr. Cen was studying, his husband once said to him: "Bin Bing, you are only suitable to be a teacher, not an official."

Sure enough, he offended someone during the imperial examination and almost went to jail.

In the end, my classmates helped me, and I retained my status as a scholar, but was sent back to my hometown.

"Okay, I'll give you the easy one." Mr. Cen said, "You can answer it together. Whoever gets the answer right will be considered correct."

Dabao and Erbao were surprised and quickly pulled Zhu Qi over: "Okay."

Although they may not necessarily calculate correctly, their brother-in-law can definitely calculate it correctly, but he is not as good as them in analyzing the topic.

"Today there is a field of fifteen steps, from sixteen steps. What is the geometry of the field?"

Dabao and Erbao have not memorized "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic", but they know the multiplication tables and they can do arithmetic.

He found a stick and lined it up on the ground. While counting, he confirmed with Zhu Qi: "Uncle, are there so many?"

Zhu Qi memorized the formula and nodded: "Well, that's so much."

"Sir, it's one acre." Erbao immediately answered loudly.

Although Mr. Cen did not hear the calculation process clearly, he was sure that they were not memorizing "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" directly, but were actually doing calculations.
Chapter completed!
