Chapter 62 This score is enough to pass the exam to become a scholar
Meng Yu was silent.
It seems like she did it! But she didn't push it!
How do others know that he was thrown into the water by someone?
She asked weakly, "Really?"
"Of course!" Mrs. Zhang immediately started talking.
When the coroner performed the autopsy, he saw some abnormal corpse spots and injuries on Cao the butcher's body and concluded that he had hit a rock in the water.
But who would have thought that just two days after Cao the Butcher was buried, the matter was over because a peddler from Jinxi Village next to Taohua Village got drunk and boasted that he had killed someone.
This kind of thing is not something to brag about, and someone immediately reported it to the authorities.
The peddler tried to make excuses at first, but when facing the officer, his eyes flickered and his words were incoherent, which made him look suspicious.
Under interrogation, the peddler confessed the whole story.
This man is often out running errands, and it's common for him to be away from home for two or three months.
Half a month ago, he returned home after selling goods, only to find his wife in bed with a man.
In a rage, he wrestled with the adulterer, and during the scuffle, the adulterer lost his balance and was pushed down, hitting his head on the corner of his table, with blood all over the floor.
His home was close to the Baiyu River. When no one was around, he carried the man and threw him into the river, then cleaned up the house as if nothing had happened.
After asking about the adulterer's appearance, it was confirmed that he was Cao the Butcher.
It turned out that Cao the butcher was selling meat in the town. He had an affair with the peddler's wife and often met with her when Cao was out selling goods.
That day, Cao the butcher suddenly showed up at their house, all wet. When the old lovers met, it was inevitable that they would get angry.
Who would have thought that the peddler would happen to be caught on his way home?
He was so badly injured that he could not struggle in the water and drowned.
It is said that after Li found out, she went to the peddler's house and made a scene. However, the peddler was thrown into jail for accidentally killing someone, and the peddler's wife had an affair with someone and was also convicted and imprisoned together with him.
Mrs. Zhang finally sighed: "It's a good thing that Butcher Cao is dead. Adultery is a serious crime. If he hadn't died, he would have been in jail! It's so embarrassing!"
Doctor Zhang tried to stop her, "Mother, why are you telling this to a child? It's not a good thing!"
Mrs. Zhang slapped herself on the mouth and laughed, "Yes, yes, yes, look at my mouth, I have no control over it. The child asked me about it, so I said a few more words!"
She was somewhat thankful that the child didn't understand the concepts of adultery and adultery. If she had asked what they meant, it would have been difficult to answer.
So Cao the Butcher's death was not because he was hit by her blowgun and fell into the water. Instead, he woke up from the water and went ashore to meet his lover, but was caught and beaten, and then thrown into the water.
Meng Yu heaved a long sigh of relief in his heart.
Butcher Cao was a complete bastard and a bully who deserved to be put to death. But no one expected that there was another hidden reason behind his death.
"You don't know, Li cried every day at home, and her son didn't even observe mourning for his father. He took the money and left home the day after Cao the Butcher was buried. It has been a month and he hasn't come back once! I'm afraid he still doesn't know the truth about his father's death!"
Meng Yu's eyes flickered. What was that reincarnated dog going to do? Was he trying to deal with her and her mother again?
She asked Doctor Zhang for some knowledge about medicinal herbs and got to know a lot of living medicinal herbs from him. Meng Yu was very satisfied that she had finally mastered the book "Shennong Gang".
She was sweet-spoken and Mrs. Zhang liked her very much. She even invited her to stay for dinner and asked Doctor Zhang to send her back to town.
After Cao Shuqing came here and went crazy that day, he never showed up again. Meng Yu was so busy that he almost forgot about this person.
The day after his "chance encounter" with Pei Hongmiao, Cao Shuqing went to Ziguang Academy.
Although the appearance of Master Zhou Xiaowen made him feel a little uneasy, he was not too worried.
After all, Pei Hongmiao himself said that he would let him enter Ziguang Academy. Such a great scholar would not go back on his word.
Sure enough, when he arrived at the gate of Ziguang Academy, he gave his name and purpose, and someone came to take him to take the entrance examination.
Cao Shuqing was a little surprised that an entrance examination was required. Pei Hongmiao was a great scholar and the head of the school. He could enroll him with just a few words. Why was an examination required?
He was moved. Could it be that Mr. Pei wanted to see his level and planned to take him as his disciple?
Later he realized that he had overthought and that he had taken an ordinary entrance exam.
It was only then that Cao Shuqing realized that even with a letter of recommendation, he still needed to take an exam to enter Ziguang Academy.
The unhappiness in Cao Shuqing's heart suddenly disappeared, and at the same time, he felt a little secretly happy.
Such an entrance examination was too easy for him.
But he is only eight years old, and that is his biggest advantage.
Although Pei Hongmiao would accept a closed disciple two years later, if he was outstanding enough, he could have done so earlier.
There were seven people taking the exam this time. Cao Shuqing was the youngest, but he was the first to hand in his paper.
As the headmaster, Pei Hongmiao did not have to mark the papers himself.
However, the teacher in charge of marking the papers picked out Cao Shuqing's paper and presented it to him separately.
There is no other reason, because the handwriting on the test paper is very beautiful and the answers are perfect.
The exam was about the Four Books and Five Classics, and anyone who could get a B grade could enroll. But Cao Shuqing's paper was unanimously given an A grade by the four examiners.
This child is so outstanding. Although Pei Hongmiao asked a teacher to write the recommendation letter, the examiner knew it was his idea and of course he had to report it to him.
Looking at the test paper, Pei Hongmiao said nothing.
The examiner waited for a long time before he said, "You're admitted to the class for child prodigies. This score is good enough to pass the exam and become a scholar!"
The examiner was a little surprised: "Master, are you not going to accept him as a student?"
Pei Hongmiao looked at him and asked, "Why should I accept him as my student?"
"This kid is outstanding!"
He thought that seeing such a genius, the headmaster would be delighted and, if not accept him as a disciple, at least accept him as his own student.
Students are not disciples, but they have more opportunities to receive personal instruction from the headmaster than students in ordinary classes.
The headmaster has four disciples. He is very strict in accepting disciples, but when it comes to accepting students, he values their talents and will personally guide them. In Ziguang Academy, the headmaster has eleven students.
Pei Hongmiao's eyes twisted slightly. When he first met her, he had this intention, and even wanted to take her not only as a student, but also as a disciple. However...
"Then, do you need to be exempted from the training?"
"No need, follow the normal rules!"
Meng Yu slipped out of the private school, stretched his little hands and feet, and curled up under the window, feeling a little tired.
During this period of time, she has been in a private school. Ever since Young Master Jiang made trouble at the door last time and was reprimanded by Zhou Xiaowen, and the private school's atmosphere was cleaned up, those rich kids have become much more restrained.
The snobbish gatekeeper is gone and has been replaced by another one.
Master Zhou saw her eavesdropping outside the window, but did not try to stop her.
A child of three or four years old, blinking his big eyes like black grapes, with clear stupidity in his eyes, and full of curiosity and thirst for knowledge, without making any noise or noise, who can refuse him?
Besides, she doesn't understand!
