Chapter 180: Why Use Learning

Xiaobao got the first child examination case and was exempted from the scholar examination. As soon as the news spread that he returned to the state to study, it was like water pouring into a frying pan.

The class list was posted on the wall. The students gathered around but did not look at it. Instead, they were discussing:

"Is it true? A six-year-old scholar?"

"Isn't it true that people are tough in the background?"

"Don't tell me, the backstage is really tough! Do you still remember Meng Xianchao, right? Didn't he just offend Chu Dong, and then the whole family was disbanded?"

Originally, the imperial court's verdict against the Meng family in Jizhou, the students of the state school only dared to sigh, but no one dared to think about it.

Now times have changed, and they have linked Chu Dong and Meng Xianchao again.

"You still remember when Chu Dong first entered school, right? Didn't Meng Xianchao and the others pour ink into other people's schoolbags and cut off their schoolbag straps?"

"Remember, remember! At that time, they even put snakes in people's schoolbags!"

"Really? Who would have thought that Meng Xianchao and his family would be served without saying a word!"

"Yes, this is just to keep silent and to die!"

"Let's just put it this way. Meng Xianchao didn't do it alone. Didn't those others also help?" The man said and licked his lips at Qian Jinhong, Wu Zhichao and the others.

So not only Qian Jinhong and Wu Zhichao, but also several other students who participated at the time also lowered their heads and pretended to be looking for something, and hurriedly left the crowd.

"You said that the six-year-old scholar didn't become a scholar through the back door because the background was tough, right?"

"I can't be prepared! If nothing else, we have all participated in the children's examination. Is that the same level as the college examination? Is it possible to be a scholar without going through the back door?"

"Then the head of the case can be exempted from the court examination?"

"You can pass the exam at the age of six, do you believe it? That 'genius' and 'prodigy' You Zhenghang also has a maternal uncle who is a Hanlin scholar, and even with his family background, he cannot pass the exam!"

"That's right. If you are already a scholar, why should you still use it to go to school?"

"Why don't you use it? Isn't there a large group of scholars in Shangshe? Where can I get more information from the state school at home? Where can I get the test papers from the state school conveniently?"

"What kind of scholar! When you were a scholar at the age of six, you know nothing! How many books can you read? If you don't know the origin of the case, you just know what is true and what is false!"

"You can't say that. I heard that his widowed wife holds many official positions, and even the magistrate has shown courtesy to her. Anyway, our family won't let me offend him."

As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent.

The truth! No matter whether the person in charge of the crime is really talented or just pretending to be a fake person, you can’t offend someone if he has a mother. Meng Xianchao is a lesson learned from the past!

Therefore, in the eyes of these people, "I have a mother in my family" is more stubborn and difficult to mess with than "I have a mother in my family" as Xiaobao thinks.

Xiaobao also heard such comments, but he didn't take it to heart.

My mother said that when the distance between people is not big, they will suffer the most slander and jealousy.

But if we can turn this gap into a ravine and a natural chasm, then not only will we not hear slander, but we will get more flattery and even adulation.

Xiaobao thinks this statement makes sense.

When they first arrived in Wushu Village, their mother was criticized a lot because she was an orphan and a widowed mother. But now that they are back in the village, who doesn’t say good things about her?

Even those who have hurt their mother with bad words don’t even dare to look at them, for fear of being recognized.

The twelve friends held a "celebration banquet" for Xiaobao and Qiusheng to congratulate them on their good results in the children's examination.

After three rounds of soup and five dishes, Pei Qing asked Xiaobao if he thought the exam was difficult.

Xiaobao said: "It's hard to say it's hard, but it's not hard to say it's not."

"How?" Pei Qing asked.

"It is difficult because the principles of these scriptures can be extended to all aspects, whether farming, military or political affairs.

Even those sentences like "Yo yo deer roar, eating apples in the wild. I have guests, playing the harp and the sheng. Playing the sheng and drums, carrying the basket is the general. If people are kind to me, show me how to go around" cannot be regarded as pure

Come and see the banquet hymn.”

"Why? Isn't this just describing the lively scene at the banquet?" Qiu Sheng was a little confused.

Xiaobao snored and took another big sip of the Sanhong soup, mouthing: "No, this is not just a lively event. Look at the first two sentences: Yo Yo Deer Ming, Eat Wild Apples, it's about a group of deer singing happily,

Eating mugwort leisurely and contentedly in the wilderness, this is obviously a leisurely mountain scene;

But then he said, "I have a guest. I play the harp and sheng. The general plays the sheng and drums, and carries the basket." He turned his attention to the room and talked about how he entertained the guests. What he is talking about here is the courtesy of "I" to others;

When "people treat me well, show me how to behave" refers to people's courtesy to "me".

But when the teacher talked about this article, he said that this should be sung when the king entertained his ministers. So why did the king entertain his ministers?

For the sake of political affairs, due to the etiquette between the monarch and his ministers, the king hoped to communicate with his ministers through the banquet. However, due to the ideological and class barriers, the king used "yo yo deer roar" to infect the ministers.

mood.

See, it seems to praise the lively scene of the banquet, but in fact it emphasizes the harmony between monarch and ministers. So what is the purpose of harmony between monarch and ministers? Naturally, it is the idea of ​​reaching an agreement on some political affairs."

Qiu Sheng nodded repeatedly, looking at the essence through phenomena, which he lacked.

"Then why does it say it's not difficult?" Pei Qing asked again.

"Because the children's test only requires memorizing this passage or silently memorizing it. At most, the test will give you an explanation and you don't have to make a decision." Xiaobao answered.

"Is this "Deer Ming" to be understood this way? My husband never mentioned that it must be a banquet for the king, maybe it is an internal banquet within the family." A friend said with some suspicion.

"The first chapter says it's okay if it's a family banquet. If you don't talk about monarchs and ministers, you still have to treat them as the guest of honor." But when you look at the second chapter, doesn't it mean that you can only talk about monarchs and ministers?

No matter whether the king or his ministers or the guest of honor, in the end, it is for the sake of "ease of mind". It is the king who hopes that his ministers can consciously serve his rule.

Therefore, on the surface, this poem is a description of the grand banquet, but in fact it is a hymn that emphasizes the hierarchy of monarchs and ministers and the unity of the clan."

The friends nodded one after another, and someone echoed: "Isn't the imperial examination set up by the imperial court to select talents for the country? Then what we learn must be used in political affairs. Whether it is military, agricultural, or economical, in the end it serves the political affairs of the country.

.”

Qiu Sheng looked at them, feeling the difference between him and everyone else.

In Qiu Sheng's opinion, he studied because he wanted to get fame and fame, and he wanted to get fame so that he would no longer be poor and so that his parents would no longer have to work in the fields.

But I never thought about where and how to use these things in the future.

Now that you have passed the first level, you will definitely have to read each level one after another in the future. Then you should take a longer view and make your goals clearer.

Xiaobao is so young, but he has already been able to read through books. I have been with Xiaobao for so long, but I have only learned about his hard work. Obviously, I am still too behind.

Pei Qing said: "Have you noticed that in the children's examination in the past two years, the questions were all from "Historical Records", last year's was from "The Analects of Confucius", and this year's is from "The Book of Songs"."

"Are you trying to say that the questions asked in the past few years were military-related, and the questions asked in the past two years are related to farming?" Xiaobao asked. They had studied all the test questions in the past few years.

"That's what it means. I didn't explain it clearly just now." Pei Qing nodded and added: "Last year, it couldn't be completely regarded as a farming topic. It was a silent writing of the Constitutional Questions and the fifth interpretation."

Xiaobao: "In the past few years, the country was at war. In the past two years, we have been cultivating ourselves. Our exams are closely related to the national conditions."

"So, we should also pay more attention to political affairs."

"Yes, we can't just study. In the future, we can give each other questions and write policy essays."

"We need to propose a proposition first, and then we will discuss it and then write it separately."

The friends had a lively meal and had lively discussions.

"Xiaobao, we are both assigned to class A in the inner dormitory this time." Qiu Sheng told Xiaobao happily.

Xiaobao was also very happy: "Yes, yes, we passed the exam with real materials!"

"Mr. Shen has also been transferred to Class A!" Pei Qing told them, "He just happens to be your teacher."

Pei Qing was originally in Class A. This time, he got good grades and was assigned to the upper dormitory. Now he is a little envious of other friends, because several of them have become Xiaobao's classmates, but he went to the upper dormitory. .
