Shanyin County School Office is built at the foot of Wolong Mountain in the northwest of the county. On the east side is the Academy, and on the west side is Confucianism. The Academy is the Confucian Temple, and there is the Dacheng Hall inside, where Confucius is worshiped. There is a half-moon-shaped Panchi at the entrance.
When entering the school to worship Confucius, new students have to pass through the small bridge over Panchi. Therefore, entering the school is also called entering Pan. After Longqing, the new students visited Pan, wearing square scarves and blouses, high spirits, and placing golden flowers.
Riding on a white horse with colorful flags in front and a yellow cover behind it is a sight that many students dream of.
Zhang Yuan looked inside from outside the Lingxing Gate of the academy, and the academy disciple called out: "This way, come this way."
On the west side of the Lingxing Gate of the Academy is the Confucianism Gate. Zhang Yuan followed that gate and entered a courtyard from the Confucianism Gate. Then he entered through the Yimen and found another quadrangle courtyard. To the north is the Confucian Main Hall, also known as Minglun.
The hall is the place where Jiaoyu gives lectures to students in the county. To the east is Zhidaozhai and to the west is Yuyingzhai. The disciples approach the door of Zhidaozhai and report: "Master Jiaoyu, Zhang Yuan has arrived." Turn around.
Signaling Zhang Yuan to go in.
Zhang Yuan lifted up the train of his robe and walked into Zhidao Zhai. He looked up and saw Liu Zongzhou sitting there side by side with an old Confucian who was as shriveled as an old mountain ginseng. He thought: "Today is the twenty-ninth, a single day. Liu Zongzhou should
You are giving lectures at Dashan Temple, why are you here at the academy, and what do you mean by calling me here?"
The wizened old scholar must be Sun Jiaoyu. Zhang Yuan bowed his head and said, "Student Zhang Yuan has met Mr. Jiaoyu and Mr. Qidong."
Liu Zongzhou nodded, and Sun Jiaoyu coughed and said, "Zhang Yuan, are you planning to take the county and government examinations next year?"
Zhang Yuan felt vaguely uncomfortable and replied: "The student has this plan, so he has been studying hard recently and dare not slack off."
Sun Jiaoyu asked: "Have you ever entered social studies?"
Zhang Yuan replied: "I have never entered social studies, and students rely entirely on self-study."
Definitely not what Zhang Yuan expected, Sun Jiaoyu said: "I have not entered the social sciences, and I can't write eight-legged essays. You will not be able to take the exam next year. You are still young, so don't encourage others. You should take the exam again in three years. By then, you will have a good foundation."
It’s also a bit deeper. I hope we can win three consecutive victories in the county, government, and roads. What do you think?”
Zhang Yuan was secretly angry and thought: "You Liu Zongzhou, you won't give up until you achieve your goal. You think you are doing it for my own good, right? Do you understand that people with good intentions can do bad things? If you only look at the consequences, you will become corrupt scholars and traitorous ministers."
It’s not much different—”
Calling Liu Zongzhou a rotten Confucian was obviously extreme, but at this time Zhang Yuan was really a little angry and said loudly: "Master Jiaoyu has never passed the exam, so why do you think that the student has insufficient background and cannot do Bagu Shiyi?"
When Sun Jiaoyu was asked this question by Zhang Yuan, he naturally turned his head and glanced at Liu Zongzhou. Liu Zongzhou said: "Zhang Yuan, you don't know how to make eight-legged art. That's what I said."
Zhang Yuandao: "What you didn't do yesterday doesn't mean you won't do it today, and what you won't do today doesn't mean you won't do it tomorrow."
Sun Jiaoyu laughed when he heard this and said to Liu Zongzhou: "Mr. Qidong, you are a very arrogant student." It seemed that Liu Zongzhou was determined to accept Zhang Yuan as his disciple, so Sun Jiaoyu said to Liu Zongzhou, "
You student"——
Liu Zongzhou also smiled and said: "So, you have learned the eight-part composition?"
Zhang Yuandao: "Returning to what Mr. Qidong said, the student originally wanted to read two more menstrual meanings and ancient Chinese prose, and then learn how to make eight-part essays. But since Mr. Qidong and Sun Jiaoyu both said that the students can't make eight-part essays, then the students will start to learn how to make eight-part essays by themselves tomorrow.
It lasts for three months, and if the eight-part essay cannot be produced by that time, the student is willing to give up the two exams next year."
Many people have studied all their lives but cannot write eight-legged essay well. This Zhang Yuan dared to say that he could write a decent eight-legged essay in three months. Sun Jiaoyu said displeased: "Zhang Yuan, you are too ignorant. You think eight-legged essay is so good."
Did you do it!"
Liu Zongzhou frowned, feeling a little regretful that he shouldn't have pushed this young man like this. Everything must be reversed, and young people are arrogant. This is a good time. Zhang Yuan is determined to learn craftsmanship. Although it is not impossible to master the eight-part essay technique in three months, but
It is definitely counterproductive, and it will definitely be extremely harmful to the precocious young man in front of him, because once the framework is formed, Zhang Yuan's thoughts and talents will be constrained, and his ideas will always revolve within those frameworks. Maybe he can become famous through the imperial examination, but he will not be able to do academic work.
It must be useless, which makes Liu Zongzhou sad——
If Zhang Yuan is really just a fifteen-year-old boy, then Liu Zongzhou's worries are not wrong. It is definitely inappropriate to learn eight-part essays in such a sudden manner. It is very likely that he will not achieve fame and fame, and his brain will be useless. There are many such pedants in Shanyin County.
Scholars are useless, but now Zhang Yuan knows it well. With his two generations of knowledge and vision, how can he be framed by stereotyped writing? Moreover, he also leaves room for the three-month period, because he is originally
To prepare for the county examination in February next year, he just needs to pay more attention. He has extraordinary comprehension ability and an uncanny memory. It would be weird to not be able to learn eight-legged essay——
Zhang Yuan said, neither humble nor arrogant: "Master, students know that craftsmanship is extremely difficult, but students are willing to work harder to learn."
After saying this, Liu Zongzhou became even more worried, waving his hands and saying: "That's all, Zhang Yuan, don't set a three-month period. Young people don't get angry with others. It's harmful rather than beneficial. You should take the exam in February next year. Wait.
How about you get your reputation as a student member and then quietly seek some knowledge?"
Liu Zongzhou was a true cherisher of talent and did not want Zhang Yuan to die young. Unexpectedly, a man at the door suddenly sneered: "If you can learn eight-legged essay well in three months, then wouldn't I be embarrassed to death for those who have been studying for decades?"
"
As soon as Zhang Yuan heard the sharp and slightly hoarse voice, he didn't need to look back and knew that it was Yao Yiguan who was coming. He thought to himself: "Very good, we met again. This Yao Yigun came neither early nor too late."
Yao Fu came today to ask for leave from Sun Jiaoyu. He was going to Nanjing recently and could not take the quarterly exam in late August. Yao Fu was nearly fifty and no longer wanted to take the exam. Not all students could participate.
For the rural examination, before the triennial rural examination, the academic officials will conduct scientific examinations among the students in various prefectures and counties. Only the students who are rated first or second class can participate in the rural examination. In the past twenty years, Yao Fu
I once passed the second-class examination twice, but failed in the subsequent provincial examinations. After that, I specialized in taking lawsuits to make money. I was a scumbag with no conscience. I had no time to read the books of sages, let alone take the provincial examination.

Also, being a student member is different from being a judge or a Jinshi. Being a student member is not a once-for-all tenure. The county school lectures three times a month, and each lecture lasts for three days. Students basically have three days of school and three days of rest.
There is a small test at the beginning of every month, and there is a quarterly test every quarter. If you do not write well in the monthly test, you will be reprimanded by the instructor. The quarterly test is more strict. The test scores are divided into six grades. Those with first and second grades will be rewarded with silver, and those with third grade will be rewarded.
There will be no reward or punishment for those in the fourth class, those in the fourth class will be slapped with a ban, those in the fifth class will not be allowed to wear a robe for three months as a sign of contempt, and those in the sixth class will be directly dismissed from the rank of student member. Of course, there are almost no teachings that will punish subordinates as students.
The member was judged to be the sixth grade——
Yao Fu, an old litigator, rarely comes to attend lectures now, and often takes leave for monthly exams. However, quarterly exams are more stringent, and students' exam grades must be reported to academic officials, so generally they cannot take leave, but Yao Fu still takes leave.
It's just a little gift for Sun Jiaoyu. The county's Jiaoyu is a poor official of the ninth rank. In addition to the meager salary of 60 kilograms per year, he can only rely on the students to give gifts. The students like Yao Fu who often ask for leave to give gifts are Sun Jiaoyu.
I would be happy to see it.
Yao Fu bowed to Sun Jiaoyu. Although he didn't know Liu Zongzhou, he saw that Liu Zongzhou and Sun Jiaoyu were sitting side by side. He was obviously an important person. He also saluted Liu Zongzhou and said: "The student just heard this man's arrogance outside the door.
To say that it takes three months to learn the eight-legged essay is simply contempt for the laws of Taizu of this dynasty. Is the eight-legged essay selection system established by the Hongwu Emperor so contemptible?"
Yao Yiguan is very good at using harsh words and aggressive words.
Liu Zongzhou said: "It's not surprising that young people make big talk."
Yao Fu said: "Is it okay to talk nonsense when you are young and frivolous?"
Zhang Yuandao: "May I ask Mr. Yao, which of my words is nonsense?"
When Yao Fu heard Zhang Yuan call him Yao Litigator, he said angrily: "You arrogantly said that you can learn eight-part essay in three months. Isn't this nonsense?"
Zhang Yuandao: "If I can't write it in three months, it will be considered nonsense. If I can write it and it can be recognized by Mr. Qidong and Sun Jiaoyu, then it will not be nonsense, but a young man who is outstanding."
It's just that Yao Xiucai is targeting me like this. What is his intention? Is he treating this county school office as a court of law?"
