My diary of transcendence from the heavens

Chapter 9 9. Starting today, there is a new life
"My name is Chen Buhuan. I come from the Chen family in the county. Are you a new student? What's your name?" The young man was full of bookishness and looked at Zhao Xuanqi condescendingly, full of arrogance.

The young man shook his long sleeves, thinking that this action was graceful, but Zhao Xuanqi felt that this action was a bit effeminate.

He remembered this person, Sissy Chen Buchan.

Zhao Xuanqi looked at him and replied calmly: "My name is Zhao Xuanqi, and I come from the countryside."

Chen Buhuan looked at the tattered Zhao Xuanqi, pinched his nose with disgust, and slowly walked away.

Zhao Xuanqi thought he had some unpleasant smell on his body, but after smelling it carefully, he found that there was no smell at all.

Until he heard Chen Buchuan walking outside the house and laughing with several fellow college students: "There is a country bumpkin in my dormitory. His clothes are mended and he smells of poverty. He stinks to death."

A burst of laughter came, and the sound reached my ears.

Only then did he understand that the smell of poverty could also be smelled and disgusted by others.

My family is too poor. These college students who think they are extraordinary look down on me and are full of contempt and ridicule.

However, he didn't take it to heart, because scholars are the stuff of rich people. In this world, class discrimination is very serious. If you are not born well and have a poor family background, you will be disliked and ridiculed.

These students come from wealthy families. They come to the academy to study for the purpose of gaining fame and standing above ordinary people. They are naturally not from the poor class. How can they take a serious look at a member of a poor family like him?

In the academy, many strange eyes would be looking at Zhao Xuanqi along the way. Wherever he went, the students would take detours to avoid Zhao Xuanqi, as if he was a broom star.

A poor man who doesn't have enough to eat still wants to compete with them in reading?It’s so overestimating!

In the middle of the night, Zhao Xuanqi lay on the bed, smothering himself in a tight quilt.

Of course he didn't want to hide under the quilt and cry.

He was so excited that he wanted to hide his happiness and excitement. Starting tomorrow, he would be able to welcome a new life, learn to read and write, and then start a new future!

He only has studying in his heart, and he doesn't care about anything else except studying, because only by studying can he get ahead, not go back to the countryside to cultivate the land for generations, and can he repay the kindness of the villagers.

Dignity is worthless. Zhao Xuanqi has no time to cry for his humble self-esteem.

How much is dignity worth?Can dignity fill the stomach?
In his eyes, these academy students are just brats, and he doesn't even bother to refute these brats.

When you don't have the strength, any rebuttal is useless, just like a wild dog barking, the noise is big but the harm is small. If he scolds these scholars, it will be a price-deprecating behavior, which will only make him ridiculed more seriously.

Only a substantial blow is the most beneficial rebuttal!
What is the most substantial blow?
Zhao Xuanqi clenched his fists with a mocking look on his face.

Aren’t these scholars pretentious?He came from a wealthy family and studied since he was a child. He thought he was well versed in poetry and books, and thought he was the best in the world in reading. He looked down upon him, a poor man who did not have enough to eat.

Haha, then he wants to get a good grade in the exam, and trample them under his feet with an unstoppable attitude in the field of study that they are most proud of!
Sometimes silence is not cowardice, it is just for better counterattack.

……

Next.Zhao Xuanqi started a new academy life.

This is a completely different life. You don't have to work hard in the fields under the sun. You only need to sit in class and listen carefully.

He didn't care, he didn't listen to what was going on outside the window, and he only read the books of sages. No miscellaneous things could wake him up from the sea of ​​books.

Faced with the disdain of the academy students, he turned a deaf ear. He ate the simplest food, wore patched trousers, clothes that had been washed white, and carried the simplest and cheapest paper and pen. He studied hard and had a correct attitude.

If there are classes on weekdays, I go to Master’s place.

This master's name is Master Zhou, and he is the master who commented that Zhao Xuanqi "cannot be carved from rotten wood." There are many teachers in the academy, and Zhao Xuanqi's teacher is Master Zhou, and everything is disciplined by this master.

Master Zhou was a rigid and strict master. His lectures were boring, upright, and unsmiling. Many students felt drowsy after listening, but Zhao Xuanqi listened with interest and remembered all the important points in his mind.

If there are no classes, then go to the bookstore of the academy, read various books, immerse yourself in the books, and absorb knowledge.

Normally, students would go out to relax for a while when there is no class, such as "spring night under the tent to warm the beauty's arms" or "getting drunk and talking and reading". Zhao Xuanqi never goes out to fool around, and he doesn't have any extra money to go out to fool around. Bookstore is his second place. Two homes.

It has to be said that Shixi Academy is relatively humane and full of scholarly atmosphere. Initially it was not called an academy, but a private school. The private school was created by a great Confucian.

This great Confucian saw that his hometown was poor and lacked the scholarship and education of saints, so in order to give back to his hometown in his old age, he chose to return to his roots and teach here.

Later, the number of disciples of the Confucian scholar continued to increase, and his reputation became more and more famous. People who came here gradually gathered here, and the scale of the academy gradually formed.

Therefore, Stony Brook Academy has a high background. There are many precious books in the library, which are valuable. Many of them are needed for scientific examinations. Of course, the books can only be read inside and cannot be taken away from the library.

As long as you read the books here thoroughly and understand them clearly, there will be no problem in getting admitted as a boy student or a scholar.

As for the candidates and Jinshi, there are too many precious books needed, which cannot be covered by a small academy like Stony Brook Academy. Many books are only collected by big families...

Immersed in the bookstore, Zhao Xuanqi browsed hundreds of books and found a good book on the bookshelf. This was an autobiography left by a famous scholar.

This scholar was a gentleman from Shixi Academy. He was well-informed and had many friends. It recorded the common customs of various places and the pattern of the world.

Only then did Zhao Xuanqi find out that the Northern Wei Kingdom was not a unified country. There was another country called Southern Zhao Kingdom in the south of the Northern Wei Dynasty, which was very powerful.

The Southern Zhao Kingdom has a vast territory and has always been at odds with the Northern Wei Kingdom. It has strong national power and strong military forces. In recent years, it has invaded the Northern Wei Kingdom from time to time, causing great harm.

The Northern Wei Kingdom already had serious problems, and it was difficult to fight against the powerful Southern Zhao Kingdom, and it had a vaguely weak posture.

In addition, on the northern border of the Northern Wei Kingdom, there were barbarians from the grasslands. These barbarians were fierce and powerful. They grew up on horseback and were good at riding and shooting. This was also a big problem.

In the biography, Zhao Xuanqi roughly understood the structure of the world. At the same time, he saw the examiner's introduction to the imperial examination.

Only then did I understand the key factors of scientific research in this world!
