Beside Yang Hao, the old man looked at Yang Jingming, who was squatting on the ground with his hands covering his face, and his heart was deeply shaken.
It was said that no one knew his son better than his father.
However, in front of him, no one knew his father better than his son.
"I can understand your father's feelings.”The old man sighed softly." Seeing someone come to bully me, but I can't do anything. I can only let the child stand up. If it were me, I would probably blame myself."”
Yang Hao remained silent, but in his heart, he agreed with the old man's words. However, he was even more clear that this was the mentality of a father. Wasn't it the same for a child? When others pointed at his father and scolded him, if he were to be a coward, how could he be a son?
Therefore, when Yang Zuan inexplicably admitted defeat and knelt down to apologize, begging for forgiveness, his father agreed to let bygones be bygones. Yang Hao knew that his father was afraid of offending the Chang 'an Magistrate, so he wanted to turn the matter into a small matter. However, if Yang Zuan asked for his forgiveness, Yang Hao would never agree.
This debt had to be settled slowly.
Thinking of this, Yang Hao walked up to his father, opened his palm, and asked,""Father, what's wrong?"
Yang Jingming's entire body shook. He quickly wiped his face with his hands and pressed his palms on the ground to get up in a panic. He looked up and shook his head with red eyes."I'm fine. Why would I be fine? Father is fine!"
Yang Hao didn't point it out and deliberately changed the topic.""Father, do you think that our family's meals will be a problem in the future, so you're trying to think of a way?”
"'Those who know me will worry about me; those who don't know me will ask me for something.'My son is still the person who understands his father the most.”Yang Jingming couldn't help but laugh. He touched the back of Yang Hao's head and comforted him softly,"
"Don't worry, our family's days may be a little tight in the future, but I can definitely go out and find another teaching job. I definitely won't starve you.”
"Father, this is called putting the cart before the horse. Have you forgotten what you promised me?”Yang Hao blinked his eyes and said," Besides, your son has the ability to earn money. Leave the money-making to me. In the future, you should study hard. Your main business is to worship."”
Enter the palace to worship the prime minister?
His own child was thinking about this, but was it possible?
Yang Jingming looked at Yang Hao and saw the determination in his eyes. He couldn't bear to attack him, so he nodded confidently and said,""I will definitely do what I promised you. Isn't it just to make progress? I've studied for so many years and even taught Yang Shouyu how to read and write.”
Speaking of Yang Shouyu, Yang Jingming's expression darkened a little. In his heart, Yang Shouyu was innocent, even if everything that happened today had something to do with Yang Zuan.
What made him even more uncomfortable was that he could no longer teach Yang Shouyu to read from today onwards. This meant that the only source of income for the family would be cut off from today onwards. Before he could find another job that could earn money, the family would run out of food.
"I have a few grandchildren. If you don't mind being tired, I want you to be their teacher and teach them how to read.”
Suddenly, a slightly aged voice sounded not far away.
Yang Jingming suddenly raised his head and looked hopefully at the old man who was slowly walking over with three deep wrinkles on his head. He said in surprise,"Old man, can I?"
Yang Hao also looked at the old man in surprise.
From the old man's clothes and the food box he brought today, it could be seen that his family was really rich. How could such a rich family not find a better teacher? Instead, they wanted Yang Jingming to teach their grandson?
Obviously, the old man was helping him.
Li Yuan smiled and said,"Liu Xiang of the Han Dynasty once said in Shuo Yuan: Young and studious, like the sunrise; When you're strong, you're studious, like the light in the sun. You're old and studious, like a shining candle. To be able to use this article to warn students to make progress is enough to show that you're indeed well-read. Why can't you teach my grandson?”
Yang Jingming looked at Yang Hao with some hesitation. After all, he was not familiar with the old man in front of him, and he was his son. He couldn't help but ask Yang Hao's opinion.
"Dad, as long as you don't waste your time studying, it's not bad to teach a student. The Analects of Confucius says: 'I reflect on myself three times a day'. When I am teaching, I can review the knowledge of the past. Isn't this exactly what the sages said?”
"It won't affect your study time.”The old man took over the topic at the right time. He tilted his head to look at Yang Hao and said patiently,"This old man also wants to come here often in the future. When the time comes, I will bring my grandson over. Teaching and reading can be done at your house. There is no need to waste time walking back and forth.”
"Alright then." Yang Jingming pinched his beard and immediately bowed to the old man in embarrassment,"Old sir, then this junior will have to trouble you in the future.”
The old man smiled and nodded. He raised his hand and pointed at the food box on the ground."In this short while, this old master is actually a little hungry. Why don't we eat something first?”
"Junior will go heat up the food now!"
Yang Jingming felt much more energetic now that he had saved himself a mental problem. He nodded and ran to heat up the food with the food box.
"I heard you say that you want to participate in the Imperial Court's open examination?”At this time, after Yang Jingming left, the old man looked at Yang Hao curiously and asked,"
" To enter the court and worship the prime minister sounds impressive, but it's really not easy. Just the imperial examination alone is divided into the county examination, the government examination, the academy examination, the provincial examination, the general examination, and the court examination. If you want to be an official in the capital of Chang 'an, you must at least pass one by one until you are qualified to participate in the court examination. It's not easy to pass all the tests.”
"That's right!" Yang Hao agreed.”
The old man smiled and said," But with your talent, I'm sure you'll be able to overcome all obstacles and reach the Heavenly Court. It's not impossible for you to become a worshiper one day. After all, you're still young."”
Hearing this, Yang Hao looked at the old man in astonishment and said,""Who said I was going to participate in the imperial examination?”
The old man was startled and said in astonishment,""If you don't participate in the imperial examinations, do you want your father to participate in the imperial examinations?”
"I hope father can understand it?" Yang Hao nodded.”
The old man was speechless.
