Chapter 155 Hengwu Garden, Daoxiang Village
At the end of July of Bingzi, Jia Cong came back from Guozijian Street in Andingmen and walked around for a long time. When he arrived at Ningrong Street, he did not enter the main gate. He turned left and arrived at the clan school. The trees outside the hall were lush and the noise of autumn cicadas were clamoring. Jia Cong sat down on the stone pier to look at it, looked into the window, and listened to them reading.
The enlightenment education in this era is not like the modern era. It is divided into grades and goes hand in hand, regardless of the progress of people's learning progress. In ancient times, tribes, society, and private schools were truly teaching according to their aptitude. The content of each person's reading aloud is different every day. Those who are slow and young are still reading "Child Prodigy Poems", "Seven-character Miscellaneous Characters", "Five-character Miscellaneous Characters", "All-character Miscellaneous Characters", "Advanced Characters", "Five-character Miscellaneous Characters", "The Analects of Confucius", "Mencius", "The Great Learning", and "The Doctrine of the Mean". Among them, "Mencius" in the four books has the largest number of words and is often only learned in the end.
The sound of reading at noon is wavy. Chinese is a syllable word. Memorizing those miscellaneous characters with relative tone. Enlightenment is the basic skill of pairs and eight-legged essays. The first step of eight-legged essays is to learn to pairs. This enlightenment and cultivation from childhood allows the ancients to use Chinese and ancient Chinese since childhood to penetrate into the bones. Of course, like modern people, they have to take it step by step, without being born to know it.
"Have you studied the Imperial College? Then you can send a provincial examination. This scholar is not safe. The county school entrance exam every year. The Imperial College Yougong also needs to take the exam. There are a pile of bamboo papers..." Sun Fubai said boredly.
"After Immortals, Immortals will take a few articles on the production of "Mao Shi", write a few articles on the dictation, a few articles on the law, mathematics, and calligraphy. If I don't take the Four Books, I will go to the tribute school in early August..." Jia Cong said tiredly. After going to the Immortals Supervision Hall, the Doctor even warned him. Fortunately, he gave some amber pearls privately, otherwise the Doctor would not want him to live. After all, he was a tribute student who had been wandering outside for several years and would not come back to attend the class.
"Don't do anything wrong. This provincial examination is also full of trouble. No wonder so many people with high power come in person. Teams of officers and soldiers have to patrol, guard and monitor. That's it. Some people are not afraid of death every year. In my opinion, there are only two types of people who walk on the Piyong Four Bridges and Feihong Bridge, one is for fame and the other is for profit. Nowadays, there are no people who study but do not seek fame and fortune. They are so colorful that they can be as good as me wandering under the forest and living in all directions." Long Aotian burped and looked stupid.
Jia Cong was surprised that this rough man was not stupid, otherwise he would not have done the Jia Zhen and Jia Rong's case. He said funny: "You are right, are you a person who has seen the world? Then tell me, am I for fame or profit?"
"Mr. Cong is both wealth and sex, and he wants both fame and fortune." Long Aotian's expression was very serious.
Jia Cong nodded in agreement, saying that he would meet a soulmate.
At this time, in the school, all the tribesmen and relatives finished reading aloud. Jia Dairu named him one by one and asked the students to come up to hand in their homework. He looked and guided him. Jia Jun handed him in a nervous manner. Jia Dairu shook his head and sat on the crossing of the podium. He was dissatisfied with the rough Shi Wen in his hand and said sternly: "Red Flower!"
Jia Jun thought for a while and said, "Qingtong!"
"Um..." Jia Dairu said helplessly: "It's not right! Go back and copy "Sound and Rhythm Enlightenment", "Five-character Miscellaneous Words", and "Seven-character Miscellaneous Words", each one hundred times, and I will give it to me tomorrow!"
Jia Jun's face was frustrated, and the students in the classroom were so scared that they were no longer looking. It was just a matter of blame. Jia Dairu didn't say that there was something wrong. The students' learning progress was different, some understood, and some didn't.
It was Jia Lan's turn, and Jia Dairu continued to ask: "Red Flower!"
Jia Lan said without hesitation: "Green Leaf!"
"Well..." Jia Dairu ignored it and looked at Jia Lan carefully for a few seconds: "Go down."
Jia Lan was secretly happy, but she didn't show it on her face. After class was over, she left the school. Jia Jun cursed Jia Dairu in a low voice and asked Jia Lan with his hands held back: "Brother Lan, red flowers can be against green leaves, why can't they be against Qingtong?"
"Look at the enlightenment of sound and rhythm, this is about flat and oblique." Jia Lan puffed up his mouth: "The two words "red flowers" are Yangping, and the flowers are Yinping, and they are both flat tones, and they can only be matched with two onotopic words. Qingtong, Qing is Yinping, Tong is Yangping, which is not right. Yinping, Yangping is flat tone, up tone, and exit tone, and enter tone, and green leaves are both off tone, and oblique."
"Mr. I haven't taught you. Isn't this intentional way to get along with me?" Jia Jun complained that his mother was Lou, and said hatefully: "I look down on our small families! When Xue Pan came in, he didn't see Mr. make things difficult for him..."
"I don't say that... I don't teach you, but my voice, five words, and seven words are memorized by memorizing it. I have rules to find. This is called enlightenment. What's wrong with you? Small families don't need to talk about so many rules. I have a lot of etiquette at home, and my mother is a master of the Four Books and Five Classics, and she is strict in discipline. My grandfather used to serve as the Imperial College Supervisor. The whole family welcomed and flattered them. Seeing them laughing lively, I went to my father since I was a child, and there was no one in this room. My mother often said that people should not think that they had a father but had no mother to raise... I was not happy..."
Jia Jun was quite righteous to Jia Lan. Jia Lan was introverted. When a banquet in Xifu was not here, his grandfather Jia Zheng had to send someone to invite him. His grandfather sent someone to invite his grandson. This was very strange. People in Xifu said that Jia Lan was "weird in a cow", and there was something right. Jia Jun's righteousness was in trouble in the school. Someone accidentally called the inkstone, so Jia Jun refused to accept it. Jia Lan wanted to settle the matter.
At this time, Jia Jun did not listen to Jia Lan's words carefully. Some people said that "the prodigy of the Western Palace" came. The students chattered and watched for a while. Some people didn't dare to come up because of their own opinions or fear. Jia Jun and Jin Rong stopped moving forward. Some were envious and admired, and some were sour and jealous, and eventually they scattered.
Jia Cong had visited Jia Dairu, and Jia Lan invited: "Don't Cong and his nephew go to Daoxiang Village? I'm not young anymore, only one year younger than Uncle Cong. This year, it's 11th. My mother said she would go to the county examination in February of the year and wanted to ask my uncle for advice."
"Okay, great-grandson, Brother Rui, I'll leave first, pass the exam and give gifts." Jia Cong said goodbye, Jia Dairu felt very proud. This famous prodigy was taught by him. Isn't it just that he is an outstanding teacher? Jia Dairu smiled and nodded, waved his hand to scold his grandson: "Look at you, you have passed the age of twentieth, and you can't compare to others!"
Jia Rui retreated in fear, ashamed and unwilling to accept it.
While chatting, the uncle and nephew entered through the back corner door of the Grand View Garden. On the left is the kitchen. There is no kitchen staff yet. On the right is Hengwu Garden. The first thing that catches your eyes is the bridge with red railings. The stream flows through the bridge. There are exquisite rockery stones on the other side of the bridge. The rocks are covered with various vines, clear kudzu vines, Du Ruohengwu, standing far away, the fragrance comes with the wind. Xue Baochai, the rock path, Ying'er and the servant, Xue Baochai walked across the bridge: "Do you see your sister-in-law?"
"Yes," Jia Cong said. Jia Lan glanced at them slightly, but didn't call anyone.
