I go to the ancient imperial examinations

Chapter 24 Reading Order
"What's wrong with sister-in-law today?" The women in the village were used to seeing Li's gentle side, and just now clearly felt that Li was absent-minded.

"Second Zhan is also weird." Another aunt echoed, if it was normal, Second Younger Zhan would have laughed and told everyone about the strange things in the county.

The sharp-eyed aunt whispered, "Li's sister's hair is messed up and her palms are scratched."

"Why have I forgotten about this? In the morning, I met my elder sister-in-law and she said to take Xiaoyu to buy pen and ink, so she went to Nanjie." The young woman who heard this slapped her thigh, and everyone understood come over.

"Second brother, you're back." In the yard of Zhan's house, the little Yao Shi who was washing vegetables hurriedly greeted him.

Glancing at Li Shi's bag full of things, Xiao Yao Shi pouted and said in a strange manner, "Mother, do you see that sister-in-law bought so many things and spent a lot of money?"

"Shut up, did your sister-in-law spend your private money?" The always mean old lady Zhan scolded, and then turned to Zhan Feiyu with a smile on her face, "Xiaoyu is back, the sugarcane in the land is sweet, and the milk is here. You left a section."

The second child Zhan was feeding the cows. Mrs. Li carried the basket into the house. Mrs. Zhan brought Zhan Feiyu into the kitchen to eat sugar cane. Mrs. Yao was ignored by a group of people.

His face turned blue with anger, Xiao Yao complained to Ma who was beside him, "Brother and sister, look, since Xiao Yu entered the private school, this old Zhan's house has no place for our second and third bedrooms!"

"Second sister-in-law, if you don't like Xiaoyu, don't get involved with us." Ma looked at the jealous Xiao Yao, and laughed, "I and the third child are not skilled, and we will rely on Xiaoyu to carry us in the future. Save the sugar cane, wait for the little fish to marry into Zhu Landlord’s house, it will be a big meal!”

"Erlang picked up bird eggs at noon, and I left two for Xiaoyu, and I'll go get them." Ma Shi left the words and followed into the kitchen. The third child was right. In the future, the Zhan family will be the most promising one. Yu, I'm not as stupid as the second sister-in-law.

"I can't live this day!" Little Yao threw the radish in his hand into the tub, and when he heard Ma's flamboyant laughter in the kitchen, he even trembled with anger.

……

"You can gain knowledge through diligence, and there are ten thousand volumes of books in the firefly window. Three winters are enough today, who will laugh at an empty stomach... Tian Shelang in the morning, and Tian Zitang in the evening..." The sound of reading aloud came from the private school, and there were twenty or thirty people in the room. A schoolboy recited while shaking his head, while Master Lin was reviewing the assignments handed in in the morning.

"Zhan Dalang stared at you three times in the morning." The little fat man on the left winked at Zhu Peng, motioning him to see Zhan Dalang sitting behind.

"Don't worry about him!" Zhu Peng replied irritably, his eyes involuntarily turned to Zhan Feiyu in the first row in the middle, the seven-year-old girl was not yet at the height of the table. A short fat man as a daughter-in-law!
"Okay, clean him up after school." The little fat man smiled.

"No!" Zhu Peng slammed the table, if this marriage is done, Zhan Dalang will be his brother-in-law!

Wow!A group of children who were reading glanced at Zhu Peng with admiration. After Master Lin used a ruler to kill chickens and monkeys, no one dared to make trouble while reading.

Uh... After realizing it, Zhu Peng swallowed his saliva, raised his head in a panic, and met Master Lin's stern gaze, hairs on his back.

Lin Confucius is a gentle scholar on weekdays, but he is very strict when teaching students, explaining the true meaning of the two sons of "Strict Master".

"Zhu Peng, why did you read the "Four Books" first and then the "Five Classics"?" Master Lin held a ruler, his face was solemn, his eyes swept away, and the rest of the schoolchildren straightened their bodies.

Zhu Peng stood up tremblingly. He was not a student. Although he entered a private school at the age of four, he was the one with the longest reading time besides Lin Xiuyuan, but his level of study was almost the same as that of Zhan Dalang.

"Master, the Four Books are easier to learn, but the Five Classics are too complicated." Zhu Peng recalled the Four Books and the Five Classics on the shelf in the study. He knew the characters, but after putting them together, Zhu Peng couldn't read them smoothly. , not to mention paraphrasing.

啪啪五戒尺之后，朱鹏疼的龇牙咧嘴，恨不能将湛大郎这个“罪魁祸首”给狠揍一顿，至于湛非鱼，这可是林夫子的爱徒，朱鹏吃了熊心豹子胆Don't dare to trouble her.

"Zhan Feiyu, you answer." As soon as Master Lin said these words, a group of schoolchildren who were sitting up secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but fortunately they didn't draw themselves.

Zhan Feiyu stood up and said, "The ancients once said: If you ask about the purpose of the "Jing", what should come first? In the two books "Yu" and "Meng", if you know where the offer is, you can read the "Five Classics". Step by step, while the Four Books are easy and the Five Classics are difficult, so read the Four Books first, and the Four Books start with the Great Learning.”

Master Lin nodded with satisfaction. Among the students he taught, perhaps only Xiaoyu was the only one who really took the road to the imperial examination. After three or five years, most of the other students were looking for an accountant.

Half an hour later, watching Master Lin bring Zhan Feiyu back to the study, Zhu Peng looked at his swollen left palm and murmured, "Isn't what Zhan Feiyu said the same as what I said?"

"Uh..." The little fat man swallowed the chestnut cake stuffed into his mouth, and looked at Zhu Peng with a look of grief and indignation. Can he say that he didn't understand what Zhan Feiyu was saying?
"If you fart, it's fart, but the scholar is called condescending, so even if you say the same as Xiaoyu, you will be beaten." The classmate sitting next to him explained this, and everyone next to him patted the table and laughed.

"Yes, we scholars are so particular about it!"

"Tian Shelang in the morning, and Tianzitang in the evening." A group of bear children laughed again.
