Chapter 2092: Chapter 2092: Meng Yunzheng’s Small School
Surprisingly, Meng Yunzheng was not perfunctory and indeed asked about the basic knowledge points involved in the county examination.
From easy to difficult, Dabao initially answered with ease, making Madam Liang very satisfied, frequently nodding with confidence.
But gradually, Dabao became overwhelmed, often taking a long time to answer a question and occasionally needing a hint from Meng Yunzheng.
Later on, he could only stammer and shake his head.
Madam Liang watched anxiously, if not for Shu Yu pressing her down and shaking her head, she would have rushed up.
Meng Yunzheng stopped asking and said to Madam Liang, "Let’s wait another two years."
"But he answered everything at the beginning," Madam Liang was unwilling to give up.
"He indeed answered well at the start, and his foundation is acceptable, but he still needs to become more familiar to take the county exam."
Madam Liang was very disappointed, yet she didn’t doubt Meng Yunzheng deceiving her, as he was the top scorer and Yu’s fiancé, surely hoping for the Lu family’s continuous improvement.
"Then, can’t he tutor him for a while during this period?"
Meng Yunzheng pondered for a moment, tutoring Dabao was indeed possible, he even thought it might be beneficial to have Erniu study together. After all, he was opening a school, so accumulating experience was still very necessary.
If Ah Rui passed the county exam next year, it would also serve as promotion for him.
If Erniu and Dabao showed great improvement, that would indeed be even better.
Seeing his silence, Madam Liang suddenly understood that Meng Yunzheng was about to take the imperial examination, this period he would certainly need to diligently study, where would he find time to tutor others?
Though Madam Liang very much wanted Dabao to take the exam, her greatest merit was understanding the situation and prioritizing.
There was nothing more important than Meng Yunzheng’s imperial examination next spring, so she thought she’d wait until after he finished his exams.
Madam Liang was about to speak when unexpectedly, Meng Yunzheng nodded, "Alright, I’ll set a plan for Dabao then."
He had experience with Shurui, but students had diverse personalities, he wanted to see if his methods were also effective with a student like Dabao.
Madam Liang widened her eyes, "Just, just agreed?"
"Yes."
Madam Liang was thrilled, she looked at Shu Yu and seeing she didn’t object, immediately began expressing her gratitude repeatedly.
Only Dabao stood there bewildered, after a long moment, he was almost on the verge of tears in despair.
The next day, Dabao really reported to the Lu family.
Meng Yunzheng maintained an attitude that teaching one was teaching a group, not only Dabao and Erniu came, but even Cuihua’s son attended class. Even Lu Sixing’s newly initiated son Quanquan and Little Song Le also moved desks to sit and listen.
The Lu family specially cleared out a room, with a bunch of small and large students sitting in rows, genuinely resembling a small classroom.
Occasionally, Ah Ning and Xiaozhen would come over to listen, there was even a day when Daniu brought Zaozao, who was watching the old lady, to sit in the back row.
Even Little Huohuo wanted to join the excitement, as there were many children there, and he found playing alone boring.
The old lady was quite worried, saying so many kids would heavily influence Yun. What would he do during next year’s imperial examination? It was all the third son’s wife’s fault, causing such a stir out of nowhere.
She privately spoke to Shu Yu, "Maybe it should be left alone, these kids have a school, no need to take up Yun’s time. As for Ah Rui, he’s taking the county exam next year, so occasionally asking Yun when in doubt is fine. But as for the others, isn’t it just making trouble for Yun?"
