I go to the ancient imperial examinations

Chapter 14
The schoolchildren who opened the door in private schools all used [-] characters for enlightenment, that is, "Three Character Classic", "Hundred Family Surnames", "Thousand Characters" and "Thousand Family Poems".

"Open the "Three Character Classic" to the first page and recite it for the teacher." Master Lin led a dozen Mengtong children to recite it five times, and then explained the meaning to a group of Mengtong children.

"In the past, Meng's mother chose the neighbor's virgin and did not learn to break the machine. She said that during the Warring States Period, Mencius' mother moved three times in order to make Mencius diligent and eager to learn. When Mencius was tired of studying, Meng's mother cut off the shuttle on the loom to warn him, no matter what Whether you are doing things or studying, you must persevere, and you cannot give up halfway.”

As soon as Master Lin finished speaking, Shan Wazi couldn't help but said, "The Mencius family must be rich, and they moved three times. My mother said that if I had money to build a house, I wouldn't have to sleep with my parents."

"Master, Mencius' mother cut off the half-woven cloth. Her mother won't beat her?"

"If my grandmother would have had a stick."

"You bastards, go back to your mother's house!"

"Haha, my grandma must be scolding like this." A group of bear children laughed and talked about their fierce and aggressive grandma, but they didn't notice Master Lin's dark face.

Zhan Feiyu looked at the little classmates who didn't know whether to live or die with sympathy.

The sound of the ruler slapping on the palm of the hand sounded, and it slapped three times as punishment.

"Master, we knew it was wrong." The beaten Meng Tong shook his head and recited again, but he didn't dare to speak nonsense.

Lin Fuzi turned around, then walked to the schoolchildren who were studying characters in the middle, checked one by one, and corrected the wrong pen from time to time.

Zhan Dalang and these students who have been studying for four or five years are sitting on the far left of the school. Whether they are just learning the Four Books or those who have not passed the county exam, they must start reading from "The Analects of Confucius" in September.

Half an hour passed in a flash, and when Master Lin walked to Zhan Feiyu's side again, the dozen or so Meng Tong immediately sat up straight, and the chanting became a little louder.

"In the beginning of human beings, nature is inherently good..."

"Yu Buzhuo... Zhuo..." Shan Wazi and the others flushed nervously, but they couldn't remember the next sentence, and looked at Zhan Feiyu with uneasy eyes for help.

"If you don't cut a jade, you won't be a weapon." The crisp voice sounded, and the other people's eyes lit up, and they immediately followed Zhan Feiyu on their backs.

Master Lin nodded, and then led a group of Meng children to recite the first half of the "Three Character Classic", then looked at Zhan Feiyu and said warmly, "Do you know all the characters?"

When Master Lin came over just now, Zhan Feiyu was reading "A Thousand Family Poems", and she only reminded when the boys like Shan Wazi forgot their words.

Zhan Feiyu can already recite the "Three Character Classic". It is reasonable to say that he should read the book. After a period of literacy, Master Lin began to teach them to hold a pen and write. The children of the peasant family are late to school, and it is too late to write at the age of seven.

Zhan Feiyu put down the book, stood up and replied, "Master Hui, I have known you from Brother Hall before."

Master Lin pointed at the book, and Zhan Feiyu's answer sounded at the same time. There are more than 1000 characters in the "Three Character Classics", and Zhan Feiyu knows all of them.

Wow!A dozen or so Meng Tong forgot to recite, and looked at Zhan Feiyu in stunned eyes, with admiration on his tender face, Xiaoyu not only knew how to recite, but even knew so many words!
Shan Wazi and several children from Jinlin Village proudly raised their chests, their little friends are so amazing!He is indeed the prettiest cub in the village!
Not to mention this group of Mengtong who just entered the school, even the dozen or so people who were sitting in the middle of the school holding pens and studying characters were shocked. They had been in the private school for a year, but half of them did not recognize all the characters.

Master Lin looked at Zhan Feiyu, who was not tall enough to stand up, and suddenly said, "Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang..."

"The sky and the earth are dark and yellow, the universe is prehistoric, the sun and the moon are shining..." The crisp recitation followed. Zhan Feiyu had already memorized [-], and he could also recite the Four Books and Five Classics proficiently, but it was limited to recitation.

Zhan Dalang didn't study hard enough. He could only read through the four books, but he didn't know the interpretation, and there were no books related to the interpretation. Zhan Feiyu could only memorize it first.

Unexpectedly, Zhan Feiyu also memorized "Three Character Classic" and "Thousand Characters". Master Lin became more and more satisfied, "From tomorrow onwards, you will sit next to Chen Xu and start teaching you how to write for your teacher."

"Yes, Master." Zhan Feiyu nodded vigorously, joy on Xiao Pang's face, she didn't know how many years she could study in private school, the faster the progress, the better.

Shen Shi left school, and after leaving the courtyard, a group of children rushed out like wild monkeys in an instant, and ran in groups of three or five in the direction of home.

"Zhan Xiujun, I didn't expect the Master to value your cousin so much. You deserve to be the goddess child praised by the magistrate." Zhu Peng, who was walking beside Zhan Dalang, mocked yin and yang strangely. After the seat problem was settled, grievances have turned into hatreds in the past four years.

"Zhan Dalang, you can't do better than the county test next year. Your Zhan family can only rely on female children to support the door." When Zhu Peng's dog-legged son Wang Dafa said this, several young men laughed.

Although they failed the county exam, they still had the hope of being the backbone of the family, but with Zhan Feiyuzhuyu in front of them, whoever the Zhan family could study for would be up for grabs.

"You!" Zhan Dalang, who was humiliated, blushed in anger, but he was a coward. He glared at Wang Dafa and several others, quickened his pace and fled, and also remembered that he hated the wife Zhan Feiyu. Very good cousin.

At the entrance of Zhan's courtyard, Mr. Zhan finished his farm work early, and looked side by side with Mr. Li towards the intersection. In the light of the setting sun, he could see the children returning from school.

After seeing Zhan Dalang's figure, Mrs. Li couldn't help but take two steps forward, "Dalang, is Xiaoyu back?"

"I didn't see it!" Zhan Dalang replied angrily, pushing away Li Shi who was in the way, and rushed into the yard. After a while, the wooden door of the study was slammed shut.

Pushed and staggered, Mrs. Li looked back at Boss Zhan, "What's wrong?"

"Don't worry about Dalang!" Boss Zhan threw out a sentence with a dark face, and was also annoyed by Zhan Dalang's rude and rude behavior.

After a while, Shan Wazi and several children also came back. When they saw Li, they ran over immediately, "Auntie, Xiaoyu asked me to tell you that she will be back later."

"Master wants to teach Xiaoyu alone."

"Xiaoyu has a good memory. The master said that Xiaoyu will follow my second brother and the others tomorrow to study calligraphy."

Several children started talking in a vain manner. Mrs. Li and Mr. Zhan couldn't help but feel happy when they understood. Xiaoyu was praised by the master on the first day he entered the private school, and he wrote with the children who had been in school for a year. Fish are smart.
