  Chapter 29 029【Strict teacher and high apprentice】

  The first class in the afternoon is to review and recite the scriptures taught in the morning. If you don’t understand anything, you can ask the teacher.

  All the schoolchildren shook their heads, seeming to be reciting the book seriously, but they were actually taking the opportunity to chat and have fun.

  Pang Chunlai walked back and forth on crutches, squinting his eyes to observe the situation. When he came to Zhao Han, he suddenly bent his head close to his head, looked carefully for a long time, and asked, "New here?"

   "New here." Zhao Han replied.

  Pang Chunlai saw that there was nothing on the table, and asked again: "Where are your books and ink?"

  Zhao Han said: "I haven't gone to get it yet."

   "A schoolboy without books and ink is like a farmer without a hoe, or a soldier without a sword." Pang Chunlai blew his beard and stared angrily, and scolded, "Hurry up and get it!"

   "Sir, you have learned the lesson well." Zhao Han said immediately.

  Fei Ruhe also stood up: "Sir, I will help him get it."

   "Sit down, doesn't he have long legs?" Pang Chunlai didn't have a good impression of Fei Ruhe.

   "Oh." Fei Ruhe sat back in his seat, shaking his head and reciting the book, but what he was thinking about was Calabash Baby.

  Zhao Han soon came to Zangshuge, where there are some simple books, the real good books have been moved to Hanzhu Academy.

   "Sir, I'm a new school kid and I want to get a book, pen and ink."

   "How about card learning?"

  Zhao Han took out his student ID card.

   In front of him is a young man, probably born as a Fei family slave, and temporarily working as a school worker in a private school. If you pass the assessment, you can be upgraded to a teaching assistant, and you will be able to explain elementary school (preschool courses) to children.

  The janitor glanced at Zhao Han's school badge, then took out a set of the Four Treasures of the Study, and returned the Four Books textbook and some papyrus.

  Following the rules of official schools, Hanzhu Private School also has two kinds of students.

  One is a regular student, who pays the tuition fee and enjoys a full set of benefits.

  One is attached to students, free lectures, nothing more.

  Among regular students, there are children from the same family and children from other surnames. Students from Fei's family can receive school supplies for free, and can eat and live at the school for free.

  Scholar Fei Chun, and impoverished student Xu Ying, are all attached students to observe the lectures.

  The school card in Zhao Han's hand is the same as that of Fei's family members. This is a very special treatment for top students!

  Poverty student Xu Ying, if she can successfully pass the entrance examination and get recommended by the teacher, she can also be converted from an attached student to a regular student, and get the preferential treatment that Zhao Han enjoys at the moment. At that time, Xu Ying will have free board and lodging in Hanzhu Academy, and receive a certain amount of ink ingots and straw paper every month.

  The janitor knocked on the booklet: "Sign it after counting."

  Zhao Han carefully compared the list of items, signed and said: "Thank you, sir."

  The janitor glanced at Zhao Han's surname, put away the brochure and said, "It's not easy to get funding from the Fei family, you have to study hard."

   "Students, remember." Zhao Han packed his things and took them away.

  His current status is somewhat similar to "Schrödinger's cat".

  The hired worker was not accepted, so he was forced to sign an adoption contract, and he was nominally Fei Yinghuan's adopted son.

  However, this adoption contract was not reported to the government as usual. The household registrations of him and his younger sister are neither in the main register of Fei's household registration nor in the secondary register of Fei's household registration.

   This phenomenon is very common, and its nature is extremely bad, that is, the hidden population who takes shelter of the gentry!

  Once an accident occurs, the Fei family can immediately take out the contract and report to the government immediately, so that the adoption relationship will be protected by law—this will not only avoid paying taxes to the government, but also prevent the slaves from rebelling at any time.

  The imperial court is not a fool. During the Wanli period, a special document was issued, stipulating that adopted sons (domestic slaves) who had been adopted (effective) for a short period of time should be defined according to their status as employees, so as to avoid the long-term concealment of the population by the big clan.

   But the law is dead, and the local officials are alive, which has completely become a dead letter.

  If Zhao Han performed particularly well, Fei Yinghuan could operate to let him take the imperial examination as an adopted son. The name must be changed to Fei Han, otherwise the identity will not be recognized by the examiner. But in the future, if you are admitted to Juren or Jinshi, you can change your name back, become an official as a nephew, and integrate into the social network of the Fei family.

  For Zhao Han, and for Fei's, it's a deal that won't lose money.

  Unfortunately, Zhao Han never thought about taking the imperial examination, he just delayed until he grew up.

  Backing back to the classroom with a book and pen and ink in his arms, Zhao Han just sat down when he was called by Pang Chunlai to give a lecture.

   "Name." Pang Chunlai asked.

  Zhao Han replied: "Zhao Han, the vastness of the vastness."

  Since his surname is not Fei and he can receive books, he is a top student sponsored by Fei's family.

  Pang Chunlai paid more attention to it, and his expression became kind. He asked, "What have you learned from Sishu?"

  Zhao Han replied: "I have read it all, and only memorized a few chapters."

Pang Chunlai warned: "If you don't seek deep understanding in reading, that is after you have completed your studies. Just like a hundred-foot-high building, you should lay a good foundation, otherwise it will be like a castle in the air, like a mirror in the sky. I have taught the "Analects of Confucius" to the students in the classroom. , you have to make up "University" quickly, so that you can keep up with your homework."

   "Mr. taught you well." Zhao Han said.

  Pang Chunlai said: "I will give you a lecture on the classics of the Great Learning while the students are reciting their books, and you will bring your own textbook."

   This is going to be a separate make-up class. It seems that he is a good teacher.

  Zhao Han fetched the textbook.

  Pang Chunlai asked: "Can you recite?"

   "Yes." Zhao Han said.

  Pang Chunlai said: "Read the first few paragraphs."

  Zhao Han immediately held the book and read aloud: "The way of great learning lies in Ming Mingde, in being close to the people, and in reaching perfection..."

  After reading a few paragraphs, Pang Chunlai suddenly stopped and asked, "Do you know what you mean?"

Zhao Han glanced at Zhu Xi's annotations, thought and replied: "University is the learning of adults. What is an adult? Wash away the acquired ignorance and understand the innate truth. To understand the truth, renew at the time, wash away the old pollution, and abolish yourself. evil habits, in order to achieve the state of truth and goodness..."

"Although the explanation is not thorough, there is no big mistake." Pang Chunlai was very satisfied with Zhao Han, and said, "The university is so big, the ancient sound is Tai, and the university is Taixue. Mingde is the foundation, and Xinmin is the means. Learning from the heart Yimai, since Lord Yangming, has given other explanations to Xinmin, but you don’t need to know it now. Besides, stop at perfection, it doesn’t mean that perfection is the end, perfection is just the beginning. You have to do it and practice it. , you can’t talk empty words, this is the only way to be consistent. People who can only talk empty words, Mr. Morality, are not real adults..."

  Zhao Han listened to the explanation and read Zhu Xi's notes at the same time, and found that the old pedant in front of him really had something in his stomach!

  Pang Chunlai didn’t follow the script completely, and sometimes reminded him that something could be understood separately, but he didn’t need to worry about it for the time being.

  Teacher and student, talk and listen.

  Zhao Han occasionally asked questions, and they always asked key points, so Pang Chun was very comfortable speaking.

   "Dangdang Dangdang!"

   I don’t know how long it took, the school bell rang.

  Pang Chunlai woke up suddenly: "Oops, it's time!"

  In the afternoon class, reviewing and reciting is only a small part.

  Most of the time, it is necessary to explain the rhetoric. According to the teaching progress, you can talk about poetry, couplets, ancient prose, and test papers.

  Unexpectedly, Pang Chunlai was too devoted to making up lessons for Zhao Han, and Pang Chunlai even forgot the time, and lost the rhetoric class in the afternoon.

   "Ahem!"

  Pang Chunlai coughed twice, and said loudly: "That's it for today, school is over."

  The whole class shouted excitedly, wishing it could be like this every day, and only blamed Zhao Han for not coming earlier, so they could easily dawdle.

  Pang Chunlai stroked his beard, and became more and more satisfied with Zhao Han, and asked, "How old are you this year?"

   "Ten years old, eleven years old." Zhao Han said.

   "Children can be taught!" Pang Chunlai was very happy.

  The book "University" is very important. There are many profound truths that children cannot understand, and it takes a lifetime to understand.

  However, the wisdom shown by Zhao Han is not like a child at all, which makes Pang Chunlai feel like a treasure, and wants to carefully carve such rough jade.

  Fei Ruhe rushed over suddenly, pulled Zhao Han and said, "Quickly talk about "Gourd Baby", what magical powers do those four babies have?"

   "Bastard!"

  Pang Chunlai sternly reprimanded, pointing at Fei Ruhe with his crutches: "It's fine for you to be stubborn, don't pollute Zhao Han. If you want to learn supernatural powers, go home and read "Feng Shen Yan Yi"!"

  Fei Ruhe asked suspiciously: "Sir, are there four babies in "Feng Shen Yan Yi"? I haven't read that book yet."

"roll!"

  Pang Chunlai was furious, and slammed the table with his crutches, causing Fei Ruhe to turn around and run away in fright.

   At this moment, Fei Chun rushed into the classroom, shouting excitedly: "Young master, the gourd seeds have been found!"

  Fei Ruhe heard the words, and happily asked: "Where did you find it, and you just came back now?"

  Fei Chun said: "I ran around for an entire afternoon, covering miles around, and my feet ached from exhaustion."

   "My young master has a lot of rewards, and I won't let your efforts go to waste," Fei Ruhe said impatiently, "Follow me to plant gourds!"

  Pang Chunlai didn't bother to care about these two idiots, so he stopped Xu Ying: "You stay here."

  Xu Ying stepped forward immediately, just in time to get rid of the stalker.

  Pang Chunlai patted his waist card and said to Zhao Han: "Go to the cafeteria to get food and come back, let's eat and listen to lectures together."

  What the hell, you have to make up lessons after eating?

   It was the same as reviewing for the college entrance examination.

  Zhao Han quickly ran to the cafeteria and fetched food with two brands.

  Back to the classroom, all the other students left, leaving only Pang Chunlai, Zhao Han, and Xu Ying.

  Pang Chunlai said to Xu Ying: "I'm delayed in the afternoon, I'll give you a supplementary lecture on poetry, and you will share half of my meal."

  Xu Ying quickly refused: "Mr. kindly, the students appreciate it..."

   "Elm Head!"

  Before Xu Ying finished speaking, Pang Chunlai slapped him with a ruler: "I want you to have a backbone, not to make you pedantic. The teacher doesn't even eat, so you just starve to death!"

  Zhao Han said with a smile: "Student Xu, thanks to the elders, I dare not resign."

  Pang Chunlai suddenly became happy again, and taught Xu Ying: "Please remember, this is the truth. You have to learn from Zhao Han to adapt."

  Xu Ying hurriedly cupped her hands: "The student has been taught." Then she saluted Zhao Han, "Thank you for your advice."

  The three sat down and ate with bowls.

Pang Chunlai held the bowl in one hand and pointed at the book with chopsticks in the other: "Today we will talk about quatrains, eight lines of verses, and only half of the quatrains. The quatrains can be cut off. You can cut off the beginning and end of the verses, you can cut off the first half of the verses, you can cut... If you follow the tune , and can be divided into Rhythm Jue, Gu Jue, and Yi Jue..." Suddenly, Pang Chunlai asked Zhao Han, "Have you ever studied "Ping Shui Yun"?"

   "I have learned a little bit." Zhao Han replied.

  Pang Chunlai frowned: "How come you have learned everything? Don't be fooled in the future, you must study hard!"

  Zhao Han murmured in his heart: Nonsense, just a college elective course, just get a general overview, do I still memorize all kinds of rhymes?

   Pang Chunlai basically ignored the stubborn students.

  But for top students, Pang Chunlai is terribly strict, and Zhao Han has already been targeted by him.

  In the days that followed, Zhao Han seemed to be back in his third year of high school...
