Chapter 742: The Woodcutter and the Shepherd

However, even if Rong Qi got in, he would still be at the bottom of the class in the Imperial College. Not to mention Rong Ke, now his uncle and aunt are worried that Rong Ke will become the second Rong Yu.

Compared with Rong Jue who has been studying in the Marquis's Mansion, the difference between the two is not a little bit. Last year, Rong Jue ranked 13th in the second class, although there is some gap compared to Xiao Yuan's first place.

However, Rong Qi and Rong Ke, who were a few years older than Rong Jue, did not even get the title of Jinshi. The second uncle and second aunt were angry for a long time.

But is it useful to be angry? It's because they didn't lay a good foundation since childhood. At that time, when my second uncle went to work in the local area, they were reluctant to leave their two children in Shangjing City.

I thought that if I could bring them with me, I could supervise their teaching myself, and they would not be bad. I thought so at the beginning, so I agreed to bring my two children to Xichang.

But, as you can see, it doesn't work at all. Not to mention that you are too busy to take care of them, I am the same, I don't have time to discipline them.

The imperial examination is a long road. Teaching resources are very important. Many basics and habits must be cultivated from an early age. The learning environment is also very important.

Do you think Rong Qi and Rong Ke are much worse than Rong Jue? Not necessarily, it's just that the teaching resources they have received since childhood cannot be compared with Rong Jue.

Therefore, their foundation was much worse. Moreover, their learning environment was much worse than Rong Jue's.

Rong Jue has a role model like Xiao Yuan who is hardworking and motivated by his side. Unconsciously, Rong Jue also follows suit and works hard. This is due to the environment.

The learning resources in Xichang are definitely not as good as those in the capital. Jinnian's study habits are also a bit careless. He is still young and ignorant. He thinks that everything will be fine as long as he completes the homework assigned by the teacher.

However, this was only literacy, and it was absolutely not enough for the imperial examinations. Also, he did not have a friend of the same age to catch up with him.

All he has is Jinshi, who knows nothing and often disturbs his studies. Do you think this kind of learning environment is okay?

If I don't send him back to Shangjing City, he will most likely become the second Rong Qi. "Rong Jin sighed. "For Jinnian who is studying, time is precious. He can't wait for your term to end and return to Shangjing City to work hard.

Two years is a process and growth for you, but it is a waste of time for him. He is like a woodcutter accompanying you, a shepherd.

The sheep you herded are well fed and can go home at night, but he wasted a whole day because he stayed with you and didn't go to chop wood.

I can't let him waste two years here. He will be the one to support the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion in the future. If we want the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion to stand firm, every generation must work hard.

Besides, Jinnian is the eldest son. This is his responsibility." Rong Jin's voice was firm.

Hua Lei was somewhat silent. She was born in an ordinary family in her previous life, and after traveling through time, she was also from a small family. She didn't quite understand the inheritance method of the aristocratic families.

However, after living here for a few years, especially after marrying into the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion, she gradually understood a little bit. She admitted that Rong Jin was right.

She also agreed that children's education should indeed start from an early age. In the past, many parents' education of their children began before prenatal education.

However, if she was asked to send the two children back, she was worried that the children would grow up and not be close to her. Also, what if the children had any psychological problems?

Hua Lei was not worried about sending the child back to the Marquis' Mansion. She was worried that the old Marquis Pei and the old Madam Pei would not pay attention to the child. She was worried that the two old people were old and sometimes they would not be able to do anything or would spoil the child.

In the previous life, many left-behind children, no matter how caring their grandparents were, could not compare to their own parents. However, he could not directly reject Rong Jin's suggestion.

"Husband, I think you are right. However, can you let me take a look at the situation during this period of time? If we really want to send them back, we should also consult the children's opinions, right?" Hua Lei pleaded softly.

But in his heart, he was wondering whether Rong Jin suggested sending the children back to Shangjing City because he felt that he was paying too much attention to the two children and neglecting him.

However, I didn't pay special attention to Jinnian and Jinshi. I cared about him very much and often went out with him when I went out on patrol.

Is it possible that I didn't pay attention to my words and actions, which made Rong Jin feel disappointed and unhappy? Should I pay more attention in the future?

However, this is probably not the reason. Although Rong Jin sometimes complains that he ignores him, he is very sensible and would never use such an excuse to treat a child.

Was it because Rong Jin felt sorry for the child and didn't want him to suffer, so he made up an excuse? The weather here was indeed too bad, and the environment was too harsh.

No, only those who endure the most hardships can become the best. Also, reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles. Must Rong Jin give up this idea? Hua Lei used a delaying tactic.

"Well, I'll tell you about this first, and you should think about it carefully. If we really want to send them back, I will also write a letter back to my grandfather, so there is no rush." ​​Rong Jin nodded.

"Moreover, if you look closely, Jinnian has become less and less talkative. Most of the time, he is in low spirits and lacks energy.

Only when he is with the ignorant Jinshi, he will laugh foolishly, but no one knows what he is thinking in his heart?" Rong Jin said again.

"No way, I didn't notice it. Could it be because Jinnian has summer sickness that makes him so listless?" Hua Lei was shocked. She really didn't notice the answer to this question.

"What about during the New Year? When we took them out, did you see Jinnian was really happy? Comparing with when we were in the capital, do you think Jinnian is still the same as before?" Rong Jin asked again.

“This...?” Hua Lei was speechless. She didn’t pay any attention to what happened during the New Year.

I just thought that the weather was hot recently and I was suffering from summer heatstroke, so I couldn't muster up energy. Therefore, apart from paying more attention to my diet, I didn't think about anything else.

However, Rong Jin's words made her a little flustered. In the following period of time, Hua Lei paid more attention to the two children's affairs. She often chatted with the two children, especially Jinnian.

But as they chatted, she found that Rong Jin was right. Jinnian, who used to be a chatterbox when he was young, now said very little. Most of the time, Hualei would ask a question and he would answer it.

Hua Lei didn't ask, he remained silent most of the time.
