Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 416 Plan
In the house, old Mrs. Du was "recalling the past" again: "Think back, your great-grandfather was more capable than his stepbrother and could read, which made his stepbrother feel ashamed to stay at home and ran out by himself. , this is how you inherited all the family business of the Du family? Otherwise, you people can live a good life now? Not to mention the distance, but the distance, our family can still stay here safely, and the next door The old man of the judge's family greeted us with a smile and we got along very well. Isn't it because we are from a scholarly family, and the family is no lower than him. Maybe our family will produce a Jinshi sometime and be on an equal footing with them? So you all work hard, Study hard, don’t think about what you have and what you don’t have all day long. Work hard to get admitted to Juren, and then get a Jinshi, and you will have everything. Don’t just focus on the idea of ​​ancestral property, it’s useless.”

There are several restaurants under the Du family's name, as well as some fields and shops. Although they are not very rich, they are richer than ordinary families.Mrs. Du had two sons under her knees, and the two families had been fighting openly and secretly for this ancestral property. Mrs. Du was like a bright mirror in his heart.But he didn't stop it. Sometimes when the two sides were tired from fighting, they decided to stop the flags and drums to rest for a while, and he would set a fire in the middle to start the fight again.

He thinks that when the family is rich, it is easy to be a prodigal son: anyway, the whole family has no worries about food and clothing, so they don't want to struggle, and always want to lie on the ancestral property and wait for death.Who wants to suffer and suffer when there is a comfortable life?So he picked two people to fight.The people of the two rooms compete to see who is good at studying and who can make more money.Just like the chef in that restaurant, if someone covets his position, he will be more active in doing things and come up with new dishes.And his method is quite effective, no, compared with his younger brother's family, the children in his house are all motivated, those who have the talent for reading study hard, those who don't have the talent for reading manage the restaurant, and everyone still has their own way. Kind of drill camp.In short, no one is idle, and each of the eighteen martial arts shows their supernatural powers, striving to be the best.

In order to overwhelm the eldest, Du Zheyan fawned on the young master of the Qi family, and even got his father the position of the head of the county yamen.Although this official is not high-ranking, not even ninth-rank, but at least he is an official, and he will have more face if he speaks out.In the past half a year, Mrs. Du has shown off enough to his younger brother.

Of course, Mrs. Du's method is quite effective, but it has some negative effects.The two sons under his name, together with the two daughters-in-law and grandson and granddaughter, are like those black corns all day long, either you play tricks on me, or I play tricks on you, anyway, there is no rest .Not to mention any brotherhood, that is simply an enemy.

But Mrs. Du doesn't care about this.The two sons below were not united, and wanted to take advantage of the future property division, so they came to curry favor with him one by one.If they are all in harmony and no one takes him as an old man seriously, what's the point of his life?
Du Zhexin was very tired of his grandfather's clichés, but he didn't show any impatience on his face. He listened carefully, and echoed a few words from time to time, expressing that he not only listened to it, but also had some experience.For a while, the grandparents and grandchildren chatted very lively.

……

Du Jinning didn't know what happened to the Qi family and Du Zheyan's family, and she wasn't interested in it either.She sorted out all the things at hand recently, and planned to take advantage of this time to deal with things.After an hour, seeing that it was evening, she went to Qi's mansion, and found out that Qi Bokun not only invited her, but also Guan Jiaze, Liang Xiankuan, and Xu Chengyuan were invited.

Everyone passed the hospital examination smoothly, and the rankings they got were not bad, so they were naturally very happy.

"What are your plans for the future?" Qi Bokun asked.

Everyone, you look at me, and I look at you.

Guan Jiaze waved his hand: "Everyone don't need to look at me, I can only go to the capital anyway."

"I plan to stay in Fucheng." Du Jinning vaguely guessed the meaning of Qi Bokun's question, so he said more carefully, "First inquire about the Fuzhou University; if it is not satisfactory, then inquire about Nanlu Academy."

Although there is no clear division of primary school, middle school, and university in the school system of this overhead Song Dynasty, the teaching objects of each academies are also focused.For example, ordinary private schools accept only young children; after three to five years of enlightenment, they can read the four books, and those who have the conditions and intentions will send their children to various academies to study, and the goal is to be a child or a scholar.

Being admitted as a scholar means that you have thoroughly read and understood the Four Books and Five Classics, the Three Views have been shaped as required, and a solid foundation has been laid for your culture.Scholars believe that at this time, students should no longer focus on books, but should turn to people's livelihood and society, otherwise they will be useless bookworms.

Therefore, the articles written in the rural examinations are required to have their own opinions on people's livelihood and social issues; even if they involve the Four Books and Five Classics, they should no longer be tested for memorization and understanding, but should be deeper and unique insights, preferably related to social issues. get in touch.

This also requires students who have been admitted as a scholar not to just study blindly, but to walk around more, go deep into life, and pay attention to society.At this time, it is not necessary to go to an academy to study, and it is also possible to study by yourself or study abroad.Guan Le and the student he had accepted earlier had been studying outside for years, and Du Jinning hadn't seen this senior brother for two years as a teacher.

Although it is also possible to study or travel by yourself, if you walk around aimlessly, no one will guide you to think deeply about the problem, and the gains will not be great.Therefore, government schools, county schools, and high-level academies have become the most ideal places for scholars.

These academies do not require students to sit there and listen to the teacher's lectures.They will hold some lectures on a regular basis to guide everyone to discover problems, think about problems, start debates, and draw their own opinions; sometimes several academies will communicate with each other and hold academic debate competitions to broaden everyone's horizons.If a gentleman looks at you differently, he will also give you special guidance.

"If the lamp is not pulled out, it will not be turned on, and the reason will not be discerned."With the guidance of these famous teachers, after a period of time, you will find that your way of looking at and thinking about problems is quite different from before, with a broader vision and deeper thinking.

Therefore, the guidance of famous academies and famous teachers played a vital role at this stage.

As a top student, Du Jinning is very interested in all levels of academies in this era, so he naturally wants to go in to study and learn about it when he has the opportunity.

"I'm the same as Du Jinning." Liang Xiankuan said.
