I go to the ancient imperial examinations

Chapter 13 Finally Entering School
The county government house.

Mr. Zou put the blue and white porcelain cup on the table and signaled the maid to retreat, and then said softly, "Master, I haven't heard you mention it before."

Chen Weibin took two sips from the teacup, and the old god said, "Master Zhang, the prefect, has only one pearl in his palm."

Mrs. Zou was smart, and after thinking for a while, she realized that Mr. Zhang's wife was from the Confucius family, Miss Zhang had reached the age of enlightenment, Mr. Zhang and Mrs. Kong planned to send their daughter to Qingya Academy to study.

Who would have thought that Mrs. Zhang disagreed, that she believed that a woman's incompetence is virtue, and that showing her face would be equivalent to losing Joan of Arc.

The old lady also made a scene of crying, making trouble, and hanging herself, which made Master Zhang lose face, and made the whole manor see enough jokes, but when a word of filial piety was pressed down, Master Zhang and Mr. Kong could only give in.

Chen Weibin's move can be regarded as an indirect statement of his attitude and position. He did not seek the help of Master Zhang, but only hoped that he would not be stumped. When he thought of his former teacher Liu Jian, Chen Weibin's eyes flashed quickly, and the gentleman took revenge. It's not too late!

In the blink of an eye, in September, the autumn leaves of Jinjing Indus turn yellow, and the bead curtains do not roll over to frost at night.

Lin's private school is a two-entry house. The front is the place to study, and the backyard is the residence of the three-member Lin family. From a distance, the sound of books can be heard from the courtyard.

With a happy smile on Li Shiyuan's face, she touched Zhan Feiyu's head, "Xiaoyu, study hard."

Boss Zhan still looks old-fashioned, but there is a smile in his eyes. Not only did his daughter get into school, but she also earned herself a face. Boss Zhan went out to work these days. Anyone who saw him would flatter him and praise him for giving birth to a child. good daughter.

"Father and mother, I will work hard." Zhan Feiyu nodded, the previous cold war between father and mother was over.

The three of them entered the private school, and Boss Zhan was used to having a straight face, looking cold and serious.

Li Shi also restrained his smile because of nervousness, but Zhan Feiyu suddenly blinked his eyes and looked around.

There is a osmanthus tree in the yard, with luxuriant branches, and facing the courtyard gate are three brick houses, one is the residence of the servants, Mr. Dong and the wife, and the other two are places for reading.

Students who have passed the county examination read and practice calligraphy in the first room on the left, and the second room next to it belongs to Kaimeng school children, and there are more than 30 students.

Zhan Dalang County failed the test, and now he is still reading with a group of enlightened children.

Seeing Master Lin coming out of the room in a green shirt and a bachelor's scarf, the three of the Zhan family quickly said, "Master Lin."

"Come with me." Lin Fuzi nodded and led the three to the backyard.

study.

Looking at Boss Zhan and Mrs. Li, who were nervous and had nowhere to put their hands and feet, and Zhan Feiyu, who had clear eyes and a chubby face with joy, Master Lin's eyes were gentle, "Let's apprentice today."

Zhan Feiyu's eyes lit up for a while, and the brilliance was filled with yearning and expectation for studying and studying. This pure but enthusiastic gaze made Master Lin nodded with satisfaction.

Lin Confucius said loudly: "The Book of Rites says: The beginning of ritual and righteousness lies in the right body, the color, and the order. As the saying goes, the first is the right clothes, and then the reason is clear."

Master Lin raised his hand to tidy up his clothes for Zhan Feiyu. The first step of the apprenticeship was completed, and then Zhan Feiyu knelt down to the holy seat of Confucius, the most holy teacher in front of him. "

Zhan Feiyu knelt down on his knees for nine kowtows, and then kowtowed three times to Master Lin, who was sitting beside him, "Master."

"Master Lin, this is Shuxiu." Boss Zhan hurriedly put the bamboo basket in his hand on the table, which contained the six rituals of apprenticeship.

A handful of celery: means diligent, studious, and diligent; lotus seeds: lotus seeds are bitter, meaning painstaking education; red beans: means good luck.

Red dates: means early, early and high school; longan: means perfection of merit; dry and lean meat sticks: to express the mind of the disciples.

The bundle of [-] taels of silver was put in a purse and placed next to the bamboo basket.

Master Lin didn't care about Shuxiu, looked at Zhan Feiyu with a white and tender face, and looked at Zhan Feiyu respectfully, holding a pen with his right hand, and the cinnabar dipped in the tip of the pen tapped between Zhan Feiyu's eyebrows, "Cinnabar Kaizhi, after that, his eyesight became clearer. Bright-hearted and open-minded.”

Zhan Feiyu had a smile on his face, and his picturesque fat face showed joy, as if all the haze had dissipated, "Master Xie."

Boss Zhan and Mrs. Li, who were standing cautiously on the side, were also relieved. They were illiterate and had a natural awe and admiration for scholars. When they thought that Zhan Feiyu would also be a scholar in the future, the husband and wife had something to do with Rong. Zhan Feiyu's reading is the most correct thing.

After the apprenticeship was over, Boss Zhan and Mrs. Li left the private school one step at a time.

Master Lin led Zhan Feiyu into the house, the sound of reading books came to an abrupt end, and twenty or thirty children all looked at the door in unison.

The children in Jinlin Village are better. The children in other villages are curious about Zhan Feiyu. This is a goddess child who has been tested by the county magistrate.

For more than a month, whenever people in Shiliba Village talked about studying and going to school, they would take Zhan Feiyu out and say it again, and they were all amazed. If it wasn't for a female child, he would definitely be a champion in the future.

"Are they all memorized?" Master Lin's gentle expression turned stern, his eyes swept, and all the children who looked strange immediately shook their heads and continued to read.

"Xiaoyu, sit here." Mrs. Lin led Zhan Feiyu to the right side of the room, where there were ten tables in a row, and all of them were Mengtong who had just entered school in September.

"Yes, Master." Zhan Feiyu glanced at Shan Wazi who was winking at him, put down the small schoolbag, and put the "Three Character Classic" he just got on the table.
