Chapter 75 New Teaching

In the morning, Zhu Hao was supposed to give a lecture on "Mencius", but Yuan Zonggao said that Mr. Xin was coming, so it became a self-study.

Yuan Zonggao left early, and then Lu Bingsong came late.

Near noon, a scholar in a blue shirt finally appeared at the school, not brought by Yuan Zonggao, but an ordinary guard who came to see him off.

Originally, Zhu Hao thought that the person who became a gentleman would be at least a [-]-[-]-year-old pedant who had no hope of taking the imperial examination, but when he saw the person with his own eyes, he realized that he was actually a young man who might not even be [-] years old.

This person is thin, plump and handsome, with delicate features and unhealthy pale skin. The conditions at home are probably not very good, and the nutrition cannot keep up.Looking at the blue shirt on his body, there are patches on the cuffs and shoulders, which can probably explain why a scholar in his twenties ignored his preparation for the provincial exam and came to become a teacher.

"Wait..."

After the man came in, he looked at the children present and felt unnatural.

Zhu San took the lead and stood up to salute: "I have seen Mr. Gongsun."

The visitor was even more embarrassed when he heard it, as if he had never given lectures before, his pace was not smooth, he walked to the podium awkwardly, first glanced at the blackboard, and wondered what it was before he stood still and looked at the few people standing below. children.

"I... my humble servant, Gongsun Yi, is from Anlu, and I am here to teach you today... I wonder who is His Royal Highness Prince Xing?"

This person is very straightforward, and immediately asks who is the prince.

Zhu San came out and said, "I am, what's the matter with you?"

"No...no, I have admired King Xing and his son for a long time, today I can come..."

This opening remark does not have the momentum of a gentleman at all, just like a teacher who has just graduated and stepped onto the podium.

Zhu Hao glanced at it and found it very familiar, because he had taught many such students at the beginning, and most of them looked like this when they first came to the podium... Those students basically taught in universities or primary and secondary schools across the country, and gradually became the backbone of education in their respective schools. It can be said that peaches and plums are all over the world.

The reason why Zhu Hao showed outstanding talent in teaching is probably because he was not an ordinary teacher in his previous life, but a teacher's teacher.

Seeing such a youthful young man, Zhu Hao felt a sense of intimacy.

Just when Gongsunyi was talking about his excitement about entering the Xing Palace, Zhu San once again showed her cunning side: "Mr. Gongsun, is your name, Gongsunyi, the clothes of clothes? Why are you called this? It's so strange." what."

"what?"

Gongsun Yi is really not used to this kind of dialogue.

It's strange for a student to dare to comment on Mr.'s name?
Who gave you the guts?

Are you not afraid of being punished?

But the person in front of you is the son of Prince Xing, he is not afraid of punishment, you are just being pulled here as a temporary tutor, do you really treat yourself as a dish?

Gongsunyi tried his best to squeeze out a smile, and said: "My name is given by my mother. The thread in the hands of a loving mother and the clothes on your son's body are meant to show filial piety... Now let's start the lecture. According to what Master Yuan said, today I will talk about "Mencius "Gongsun Chou Chapter..."

"Gongsun Chou asked: 'Master should lead the way in Qi, can the merits of Guan Zhong and Yanzi be restored?' Mencius said: 'Zi is sincere to the people of Qi...'"

At this point, Gongsun Yi finally realized that he is not the son's opponent when he is talking, and it is more practical to give lectures. The palace asked him to be a temporary teacher, so he would do his own job well.

It doesn't seem to matter where the teaching location is when the teacher is most in line with the "no surprises, no dangers, another day" life pattern.

……

……

The classroom atmosphere suddenly rose.

When Mr. Xin came, everyone wanted to know how many brushes he had, and Zhu San still wanted to tease the teacher, so that when Gongsunyi was giving a lecture, Zhu San interrupted him from time to time.

"Sir, I don't think what you said is right. That's not what Zhu Hao taught us before."

Zhu San not only teased Gongsunyi, but also wanted to bring Zhu Hao into the flames of war, causing some rifts between Gongsunyi and Zhu Hao, so she could watch the excitement from the other side.

Gongsun Yi asked, "Who is Zhu Hao? Is he your former husband?"

"hey-hey……"

The children below are all laughing.

Gongsun Yi felt very curious. I asked if it was your former husband. You can answer yes or no. What are you laughing at?

Zhu Hao raised his hand and said, "Mr. Gongsun, the Zhu Hao she mentioned is me."

"what?"

The surprise on Gongsunyi's face was not feigned, he couldn't believe it, Prince Xing said that Zhu Hao taught him something, and the palace was actually an inconspicuous companion to teach?
What are you doing?

Zhu Hao explained: "Recently, whenever Teacher Sui is away, I will give them lectures, because I have studied the Four Books and Five Classics before."

"I see."

Gongsunyi didn't continue to dwell on this issue, and continued to teach his class.

Zhu San smiled and looked back at Zhu Hao. Just as he was about to continue the fire, the guard who had brought Gongsun's clothes came over to say hello: "Mr. Gongsun, it's time for lunch...you, like the guards, are going to the cafeteria of the West Court Meals will be arranged over there."

When Gongsunyi heard that it was time to eat, for some reason, he couldn't help but swallowed, licked his lips, his eyes glistened, as if he entered the palace just to eat.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Hao blinked his eyes, wondering why Gongsun Yi would react like this.

"Oh, let's eat, let's go, Xiao Si and Xiao Bing!"

As soon as Zhu San finished class, he dragged Zhu Si and Lu Bing to the inner courtyard.

Gongsun Yi looked at Zhu Hao and Jing Hong, as if wondering why these two didn't go with them, Zhu Hao got up and said, "If Mr. Gongsun doesn't know the way, just go with us to the cafeteria of the West Courtyard."

Only then did Gongsun Yi realize that the people in this small class were treated very differently.

……

……

Zhu Hao, Jing Hong and Gongsun Yi went to the cafeteria of the West Courtyard of the Wangfu together.

If there was a new teacher coming to the palace that day, the west courtyard of the palace still made some food improvements, and left food for Gongsunyi alone, which at least shows that the upper echelons of the palace have greeted them.

You can't let Gongsunyi come here, because you won't even be able to eat after the meal, and that would be a violation of the fine tradition of respecting teachers in the palace.

"Mr. Gongsun, I don't know you Guigeng?"

Zhu Hao watched Gongsunyi try his best to pretend to be gentle and eat slowly while eating, but couldn't help trying to lick his mouth, so he couldn't help asking.

Gongsun Yi said: "It's twenty years old."

"Zuntang is still alive?" Zhu Hao asked.

"Jia Yan died young."

Gongsun Yi was a little impatient.

It means that there is only one old mother in the family.

"Are you married?" Zhu Hao continued to ask.

Gongsunyi glanced at Zhu Hao in surprise, or was thinking, why do you have so many questions?What does it matter to you as a disciple whether you get married or not as a teacher?
But according to his impression, this palace is accompanied by rich and expensive, and when he leaves the palace in the future, he may have to rely on the children of these wealthy families to help him. After thinking about it, he said bluntly: "I got married the first year."

In this era, men generally get married later than women, but getting married at the age of nineteen is definitely not early, and it should be an "older young man".

This is enough to show that his family situation is not good.

Thinking about it, my father passed away a long time ago, and the old mother raised her son alone and trained her son to be a scholar. This has reached her limit. If her son hadn't passed the examination of a scholar, he probably wouldn't even be eligible to marry!

"Then Mr. Gongsun...doesn't have any children yet?" Zhu Hao continued to ask.

Gongsunyi's face was a little displeased, but he still responded with a "hmm".

Jinghong looked at Zhu Hao curiously, wondering why the little friend had nothing to ask Mr. so many questions?

In this era, the concept of heaven, earth, monarch, relative, and teacher is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. There is an insurmountable gap between teachers and students. Even if they sit together for a meal, it is impossible to communicate with an equal attitude, let alone talking about the husband's family affairs.

Zhu Haodao: "This year is the year of the New Year's Exam. In August, Anlu's local New Year's Examination has ended... I wonder how you did in the exam?"

Gongsunyi raised his head and stared at Zhu Hao. It was strange that a child knew so much?
The Ming Dynasty did not mention the official position of Xuexuezheng, and the local examinations were completed by the provincial chief minister or a deputy of the procuratorate, called "xueshi".

The "Student Envoy" will conduct annual examinations in the first year of his term of office, that is, the year of the examination, and travel all over the country to assess the students from all over the country. Taking the state capital as the unit, they will evaluate the grades of the students and make rewards and punishments.

Before the end of the year, the "Student Envoy" has to complete the entrance examination of the Children's Academy, that is, the entrance examination, to select new talents. Sometimes the entrance examination cannot be completed in the same year, and it will be delayed after March or April of the next year.

In the second year, the scientific examination is equivalent to the selection of the township examination.

Only those who have excellent grades in the scientific examination, called "recorded subjects", are eligible to participate in the provincial examination.

The third year is the year of the township examination. In July, there is a post-record examination. Those who fail the scientific examination, or fail to participate due to business or discipline, can take a make-up examination to obtain the qualification to participate in the rural examination of that year.

Township examination in August.

After that, the term of the "Student Envoy" will end, and the cycle will repeat.

For ordinary students, as long as they fail to pass the exam, this cycle will continue.

Therefore, the scholars who come out to teach are basically scholars who have no hope in the rural examination.

For example, in "Fan Jinzhongju", after Fan Jin was admitted to the middle school student, his father-in-law heard that he was going to be admitted to the Juren, and scolded him, "Like you, a sharp-mouthed monkey cheek, you should also piss and take pictures yourself. Take this heart as soon as possible, find a restaurant for you in our bank next year, find a few taels of silver every year, and support your old lady and your wife, it is serious."

Gongsunyi came out to be a teacher at a young age, so there must be difficulties at home.

Gongsun Yi didn't want to answer at first, but after thinking about it, it didn't seem like it was something to be ashamed of, so he looked up a little bit with satisfaction: "The first class in the year-old exam has made up for hyperplasia."

A new student, taking the year-old exam for the first time, even if he has excellent grades, he cannot directly make up for the granary students. If he is not a granary student, he is not eligible to enjoy the imperial court's Lumi, and now there are two years before the next rural exam. Even if you want to go on to study and take the provincial examination, you have to bow down for five buckets of rice first.

Zhu Hao originally wanted to ask Gongsunyi how much you repair every month, but after thinking about it, Gongsunyi probably won't stay in the palace for a long time, and when talking about money with scholars, he might just blow his beard and stare.

Then I still don't ask.

In the afternoon, Gongsunyi had a class, and at the break, Zhu San jumped out to answer the question: "Mr. Gongsun, how much money does my father give you every month? I heard that the Sui professor before, Three taels of silver per month, and a lot of rice flour."

If someone else asked this question, Gongsun Yi would definitely avoid answering it, and maybe even get angry.

But now it is "Xing Wangshizi" asking, this is equivalent to half of his employer. He is also young and vigorous, with a more straightforward temper, and he directly answers: "I am just a gentleman, and I can't compare to Master Juren. Every month... there are eight money."

It immediately cleared up Zhu Hao's doubts.

Eight coins of silver, almost ten taels a year, if you can stay in the palace for a long time, it will really improve your life, and the "money" has unlimited possibilities.
