Chapter 673: Becoming a question writer in the academy
"Work hard. During this time of changing to a new employer, all those who are lazy will be kicked out!"
In Fanlou's back kitchen, the fat chef yelled, and the waiters and maids stepped forward with a rush.
Some complained secretly, while others immersed themselves in work, knowing that Fan Lou's job must not be lost.
"Hey Hugh! Hey Hugh!"
Shishi walked into the kitchen with a bucket of water in one hand and put it down easily.
A group of helpers, who were also children, gathered around and said, "Young lady, you are so strong!" "Are you secretly working on your strength?" "You are so capable, teach us.
!”
Seeing the little cook standing among the children, the fat cook squinted his eyes and said: "Master, come here!"
Shishi shrank his head and trotted over quickly: "Aunt Yan!"
The fat chef pinched her arms and found that they were as slender and slender as usual, but not as strong and burly as those who practiced martial arts. She looked at the two buckets of water again and couldn't help but be surprised, and then
Reprimand: "Have you finished all your work today? Why are you trying to show off? Help me!"
Shishi stuck out his tongue: "I understand..."
The fat chef pulled her aside: "Now that Fan Lou has changed its owner again, I still don't know what his temper is and what kind of stewards will be sent here? If you work so hard and let them see it, you will have to do so much work in the future! Don't know.
Just be lazy, why bother?"
Of course Shishi knew who the new owner was, but he also knew that he was too arrogant. He nodded repeatedly: "I was wrong, auntie, please don't work so hard. Shishi will be filial to you in the future!"
The fat chef said angrily: "Don't make trouble for me, I'll be satisfied! By the way, your father has been imprisoned again. He has been really guilty of Tai Sui recently and has never left the Kaifeng government office..."
The teacher's eyes were twitching wildly: "Ah! Is that so?"
The fat cook snorted: "It's what he deserved. He already said that the gambling house was colluding with cult thieves, but he still couldn't help itching his hands. As a result, whichever gambling house he went to, that gambling house was raided. Last time he was in jail
I almost had my leg broken by a gambling shop owner, huh, if you don’t repent, why don’t you stay locked up in there for the rest of your life!”
When she blurted out the last sentence, she thought that she shouldn't say it in front of her children, but she saw her teacher expectantly: "Auntie, do you think your father will change?"
The fat chef rubbed her head: "Don't worry, I have saved a sum of money for you, and your life will get better and better!"
When the master heard this, he hugged the fat chef tightly and nodded heavily: "Well, the days will get better and better!"
"Little Fourth, if you dare to be lazy again, do you want to lose your job?"
Just as he was feeling warm, the master was agitated by the loud voice of the fat cook. He waved goodbye to his aunt and ran into his hut skillfully.
The treatment on the first floor of the world is indeed different. Just as Fan Lou arranges rest rooms of different specifications for the prostitutes in Xiaotianshui Lane, the servants they hire also have houses to live in. For Bianjing, where land is extremely expensive,
It is a very good benefit, but of course the rooms are inevitably shabby and small, which is in sharp contrast to the magnificent pavilion in front.
Shishi has long been accustomed to his own small home, so he doesn't feel any discomfort. He sits in the narrow room, listening to the footsteps coming and going around him, and slowly closes his eyes.
Fan Lou's disturbing environment gradually turned into background sound until it disappeared. She was immersed in her own sea of consciousness, imagining the indestructible Vajra Buddha.
An hour later, she opened her eyes, feeling refreshed, and her body was filled with endless strength. She clenched her fists, picked up a backpack from the bed, walked out of Fanlou, and rode on.
I rented a donkey and headed to Sui'an Academy.
When she reached the back wall of the academy, she tied up the donkey, stepped on the bricks skillfully, jumped over the wall lightly, and then ran out of the lecture room in a hurry.
After a series of smooth operations, she began to wait again, silently visualizing the Buddha, until the familiar footsteps appeared.
Li Yan came to give lectures.
The teacher was eavesdropping outside.
There was no way, there were no girls' schools in ancient times, and it was impossible to have a dedicated girls' school.
If a woman wants to learn culture, in addition to being taught by her family, all the ladies must gather together to learn and have knowledge taught by knowledgeable women. For example, the two talented women of this era, Li Qingzhao and Zeng Bu's wife Wei Wan, taught like this in history.
Apprentice's.
Shishi was born in a poor family and did not have such conditions. If he wanted to study, he came to Sui'an Academy to attend.
But today's class is different.
Normally, the lecture room is a small room for thirty people. This time it is the largest room in the academy, which can accommodate nearly a hundred people, bringing together several classes.
Although the students were sitting very crowded, at least they could clearly see the dean walking to the podium and writing two big words on the blackboard with chalk -
science!
The students suddenly became excited, and even Jiang Jing, Zhu Wu, and the five or six lecturers who had been recruited from Imperial College were all shining.
What is science?
It's very simple, the study of imperial examination.
To put it bluntly, they teach how to take the imperial examination.
There is nothing shameful about this. In fact, every academy offers science, even Imperial College is no exception.
Otherwise, how did the Taixue style come out? Are you crazy about wanting to take the Jinshi exam?
The imperial examination was originally designed to select the best and select talents, but in the end, an examination system was specially invented for the purpose of examination. This is obviously putting the cart before the horse, but there is no way. As long as the examination that is related to fate exists, this phenomenon will also exist.
Li Yan also knew that reality is not about truth. There are countless people who hope to change their destiny through diligent study, and they should be taught how to cope with exams.
So after he came to the podium, he said very directly: "Today's science class is started because Taixue has come to an end. The officials and professors who paid bribes have been punished, and many students have left their schools. To fill the vacancies, Taixue is facing the challenge of Beijing."
The entrance examination for junior high school students is open, this is a great opportunity for you."
The teaching staff of Taixue, the benefits of free food and accommodation, and the opportunity for upper-level students to be directly promoted to officials are far beyond the reach of the current Sui'an Academy.
Now that he had the opportunity to enter Imperial College, Li Yan naturally hoped that the young people in the academy would seize it and try to get more admissions.
So he waved, and Cao Zheng and Shi Qian came to the students with a stack of brochures in their arms and handed them out one by one.
The students in the front row quickly got it and found that it was a thin book with "Five Years Preliminary Examination and Three Years Simulation" written on the cover.
Li Yandao: "This is a teaching material that we have collected the contents of Taixue's preliminary examinations in the past five years, and then based on the rules, deduced the contents of the examinations in the next three years. In the future, it will not only be the preliminary examinations, but also the interpretation examinations, provincial examinations and palace examinations.
There are corresponding science textbooks.”
The children didn't understand it, and the gentlemen thought the name was weird, but it sounded very powerful.
Then they opened it, frowning slightly, and found that it was really difficult.
The Song Dynasty had an official boy examination. For example, Yan Shu was recommended as a child prodigy. At the age of seven, he could take the examination in front of Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty. A normal child could pass the examination by reciting the "Six Classics", "The Classic of Filial Piety", "Yu" and "Mencius".
When you pass the test, it actually depends on how much you can read.
However, Taixue's entrance examination is a bit more difficult. It requires not only reading, but also writing, and even identifying the meaning of the words.
Therefore, the three simulated test papers also have similar content.
In the eyes of Jiang Jing, Zhu Wu and others, nature is nothing, but for these childish people, it is not that easy.
After Li Yan waited for the students to have a preliminary understanding, his voice came clearly to everyone's ears: "Put down the textbook now and look at me first."
Everyone looked at it and saw the dean writing the first line on the blackboard: "Easy first, then difficult."
"There are twenty small questions and five major questions in the test, each with a score. What you have to do is to review the questions first, and then pick the easy ones to complete. If you encounter questions without ideas, don't worry about them.
It’s all done, come back and study it again.”
Many students were startled. It was the first time they heard this statement and they found it very strange.
Li Yan waited for everyone to digest it before he started to write the second article: "Learn to give up. In order to test your quick thinking, the test also adopts the method of handing in papers in advance. When you encounter questions that you don't know, you don't have to think too much, just give up.
Just finish writing what you know.”
Then he wrote the third article: "Learn to check, I don't care about anything else. The points in the "Three Character Classic" should not be lost."
The last one: "Keeping your mood, of course, is also the most difficult. If you let an adult man take the imperial examination, there will be many people who have a broken mentality, not to mention you children, so what you need is to practice and do the questions!"
After explaining the four simplest examination methods that are common to later generations but are novel in this era, Li Yan arranged: "Now, follow the teachers in your respective classes and go back to the class for a half-hour mock test. This time tomorrow
Let’s take another big class, let’s go!”
Jiang Jing, Zhu Wu and others stepped forward one after another and led the students in their classes to their respective lecture rooms.
The teacher was listening with great interest outside. When he saw that no one came into the lecture room, he quietly turned in. He thought that he would not be able to take the imperial examination. He was a little sad, but when he saw a copy of "Five Years" left on the podium,
"Monitor test, three-year simulation", I became happy again.
As she was flipping through the textbook that Li Yan had specially left for her, she heard a familiar voice coming from outside: "Mr. Lin!"
Shishi was not surprised: "Gao Tiji is here again. I meet him every day. He is more diligent than me!"
Outside the lecture room, Gao Qiu wore a special scarlet robe and walked in with steady steps: "'To maintain integrity is a sacred achievement'. Compared with the scholars in the Imperial College, who diligently aspire to be an official, Mr. Lin taught
It is the teachings of the sage to guide these ignorant boys towards the Tao!"
Li Yan smiled: "Gao Tiju has been making up for classes all day long, and his level is getting higher and higher."
After that, he looked at the children who entered the lecture room: "The teachings of the saints are exaggerated. I only hope that these children who work hard for the future and rely on their own hands to support their lives will have the opportunity to gain nothing in the future."
