For Thomas to be able to study so well, in addition to being very smart, he was also very hardworking.
He woke up earlier than Madam lily and Nori and was currently studying in his room. Hearing his father call him, he put down his book and walked out: "Father, what's happen?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the middle-aged man outside the door.
He vaguely felt that the other party's face was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before. But he was sure that the other party's clothes and bearing were not ordinary. He didn't know why he had come to their house.
"Father, what did you say just now? I was studying and didn't hear clearly. "He turned to Rock and said.
Rock pointed at the middle-aged man and smiled: "This is the warden of Heaven Academy. He came to deliver your admission letter!"
"Admission letter?" Thomas had the same doubts as Rock. The academy had already informed them that the results would be released three days after the exam and the admission letter would be released on the seventh day. They had to go to the east gate of the academy to get it.
There were still three days before the seventh day. Why did they send ? And delivered himself to their door?
The middle-aged man also reacted at this moment. He smiled and said: "So there is another candidate in your house. But I'm afraid that master Bell has misunderstood. The letter in my hand is not for this candidate, but for another young master Bell."
Rock said strangely: "Only Thomas is a candidate in our house."
The middle-aged man maintained a polite smile: "I didn't quite understand what you said just now. May I ask, is young master Tom is here?"
The father and son were stunned when they heard the tom name and they both have same thought as, the tom was a scoundrel! Scoundrel! He wouldn't take the exam even if he had eight lifetimes!
Even if he took the exam, he definitely wouldn't be able to clear the exam!
The middle-aged man smiled warmly: "I didn't make a mistake. It is Tom. He was personally recommended by my master. He has the privilege to entered the school without taking the exam. "
JD, who had just woken up, heard his son's name. He walked over and said: "What's wrong with tom? Did he get into trouble again? Bastard! I'll go beat him up right now! "
Jd had just woken up and looked really sloppy, but the middle-aged man's smile didn't change at all. "My master accidentally fell down the mountain. Fortunately, Young Master Tom saved him. In that case, this matter is settled. I'll have to trouble the two of you to hand over the admission letter to Young Master Tom. He will enter the school in four days. "
His own father and second uncle did not notice, but Thomas did. The other party addressed him as "This examinee", but he addressed Tom as "Young Master Bell".
Moreover, he got second place in the exam, but the other party didn't even know that this was his house.
Thomas's expression didn't look too good.
He wanted to ask the other party and the master's identity in detail, but the middle-aged man handed a mahogany brocade box to Jd and left directly in the carriage.
Jd was still in a daze. "Eldest Brother, that person … Did he say that Tom… can also go to Academy?"
The whole family knew about this during breakfast.
"When did you go up the mountain? Who did you save? Why didn't you tell us? "Madam eva asked a series of questions.
"I … How would I know? I just … saved him. " His sister didn't allow him to tell others, so he could only take the blame. But he didn't expect the result to be like this.
"Cough, since there's no academy fee, let Tom go to school. It'll save him from causing trouble outside all day long." Jd said.
"If he leaves, who will do the work in the field?" Madam Lily was dissatisfied.
It was true that they didn't need money, but if there was one less person to work in the field, they would be the ones tired out!
Thomas looked at Madam lily. "Mother, it's a good thing to have more scholars in the family. After school, I can help out with the work. "
"How can we let you do it?" Madam Lily denied. Her son was born to study, not to dig for food in the field!
Madam eva didn't like to hear this. So her son was a noble, and her son was a lowly one? However, tom was indeed useless. If Richard was stopped from studying, Madam Eva would argue back.
"It's just … Tom's temperament needs to change. At least, he needs to be able talk and behave like Richard." Thomas spoke again.
His words struck a chord in everyone's heart. Yes, with Tom's poor temperament, could he study well? They didn't want to offend the teacher and implicate Thomas.
"How about let Richard study instant of tom?" Madam Eva asked.
Richard was smarter than Tom, and also more disciplined than Tom. If he were to study, he would definitely be able to become a scholar!
In fact, Madam lily still didn't agree. She felt that Richard only looked like intelligent. In fact he is quite stupid, there were several times when Thomas explained problems to him, but he didn't learn at all.
He wasn't cut out for studying. Madam Eva was whimsical and kept dreaming of becoming a scholar's mother with Richard achivement.
But this time, there no one reject the suggestion in the family for sending Richard to the Academy for study instant of tom.
During the whole process, no one asked for Tom's opinion.
Three days later, Ethan and Thomas each received their admission papers and uniforms.
Scarlett carried a small basket and sent Ethan to town.
As usual, she first sent him to the academy, then walked to the market.
Ethan changed into a brand new uniform. Scarlett had seen other people wear this uniform, such as David and many other students from the academy. But no one was look like Ethan. He was tall, his clothes were whiter than snow, and his features were picturesque.
He was like a immortal, like a jade, and a peerless young master.
After a while, Scarlett's gaze fell on his feet.
Seeing that he was wearing the new shoes she bought for him, Scarlett curved her lips.
"Does it fit?" Scarlett asked.
"Yes." Ethan nodded slightly.
Scarlett handed him the crutch and went out with him.
When they arrived at the village entrance, The ox cart was already waiting. There weren't many people going to town today. Other than the two of them, there were only Thomas and Richard.
The two of them also put on their uniforms.
To be honest, the members of the Bell family weren't ugly. In fact, Thomas was better looking than most of the men in town. But when he stood next to Ethan, he was immediately reduced to dregs.
Ethan didn't do anything, but he was like a painting, exuding an elegant and scholarly aura.
Scarlett and Ethan had told Tom that he had saved someone from the academy. Thus, the two of them knew that the person going to the academy today should be Tom.
However, when the two of them saw Richard, who was wearing a uniform that was obviously one size smaller, appear on the ox cart, they didn't show much surprise. It was as if they had expected the Bell family to do such a shameless thing.
Scarlett sneered.
Ethan rummaged through his bundle and realized that Scarlett had stuffed him with another copper coin. This time, it was twenty.
"Hmph!" Richard rolled his eyes at the two of them.
The ox cart quickly arrived near the academy.
"Stop here. We'll walk there ourselves," Thomas said.
Ethan and Scarlett sat at the entrance of the academy.
After Ethan entered the academy, Scarlett carried the basket and went to the market.
