Jia Lian originally wanted to invite Mr. Shuyou to teach the incompetent young men of the Jia family. It was actually a pure coincidence that he became an old friend with Mr. Shuyou.
Jia Lian was not a pretentious person. If Yan Yan, the top student at that time, did not like Jia Lian in any way, and pushed Jia Lian to the point of no return, Jia Lian would not have done that in public.
Who would have known that while he was playing the only guqin piece he knew, "A Laugh from the Sea", and at the same time reciting a piece of music he had pieced together, "Recalling Qin'e", he would really calm those who worked hard every day with his momentum.
Reading, a scholar who looks for chapters and excerpts.
As for Jia Lian's later "high-level discussion" in front of Mr. Shuyou, it was completely based on the self-righteous academic tyrant Yan Yan.
What really brought the personal relationship between Jia Lian and Mr. Shuyou closer was an accidental coincidence.
As the same "family with a strong wife", once they can open their hearts to each other and "told each other about the painful family history", the process of the two people going from feeling sympathy for each other to being sympathetic to each other is almost faster than light speed.
Later, Mr. Shuyou first introduced Jia Lian to many literary celebrities and officials in Suzhou, and then took Jia Lian to participate in various literary and poetry gatherings. Jia Lian just thought it was because he studied hard at Heshan Academy and became a calligrapher.
Mr. You just wanted to gain more knowledge for yourself.
Only then did Jia Lian suddenly realize that Mr. Shuyou had good intentions.
He is paving the way for himself.
What is being paved is a "Qingyun Road" that many people dream of embarking on.
And I still didn’t realize it!
.
Dai Quan saw Jia Lian in a daze and smiled:
"Oh my nephew, it's okay to talk about this kind of advancement. Don't be embarrassed.
I also know that you are a bit arrogant. You don’t want to take advantage of the two princesses. You still want to pursue a serious official career, right?
Think about it, I have heard about it in the palace, who can I hide this from?"
"Ah?"
Jia Lian was stunned: Yes, how did Dai Quan hear about it in the palace?
Immediately, Jia Lian felt relieved again.
Not to mention that the entire capital was filled with secret agents from the Chaofeng Division. Didn’t the old eunuch already know that Jia Lian was at Heshan Academy when Dai Quan went to Gusu to congratulate Immortal An Hui on his birthday?
So Jia Lian simply said sincerely:
"How can I hide this from Uncle Shi?
Besides, what can I do to hide this from Uncle Shi?
Is there anything in this world that can be hidden from the Supreme Emperor and His Majesty?
Whatever the Supreme Emperor and His Majesty know, is there anything that Shibo doesn’t know?
If I hide this from Shibo, wouldn’t I be unhappy?
When I went to Suzhou, it was because of the recommendation of my uncle Lin that I wanted to invite Mr. Shuyou to come to Beijing. In fact, it was just for the sake of studying for the children in our family.
As for the "North Campus of Heshan Academy", it is simply established to allow Mr. Shuyou's disciples to have a place to stay in the capital. Since these students will be able to be named on the gold medal sooner or later, let them come to the capital as soon as possible.
Knowledge is also a good thing.
Shibo also knows that among the people in my family, 90% of them don't like reading like me; the remaining 10% do like reading, but they are all stupid, and it's no use chewing up the books every day. Here we are.
There are not two people in the family who can be admitted as a scholar at the age of thirty.
My second uncle claims to love reading, but in fact he just hides in the study and sleeps. When he wakes up, he wakes up his son, my brother Baoyu, and beats and scolds him to force Baoyu to study and take the imperial examination.
But Baoyu's ambition was not to take the imperial examination. He was partial to talents and only loved writing poems and poems. He was just an idle person like Li Taibai.
Baoyu was sent to our home school. He didn't read a few pages of the book, but he came back after learning a bunch of unseemly things. As for other things like stealing, eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, it really gives me a headache to talk about it. p>
Shibo, if I don’t hire a decent teacher to teach the Jia family’s children well, I’m afraid our Jia family will be the ruined one in my lifetime.”
.
Dai Quan listened to Jia Lian's honest words, so he stopped beating around the bush and said with a smile:
"Oh, Zunfu, a family with a great business, how could it be ruined?
However, it is a good thing to be prepared for danger in times of peace. My nephew thinks long-term, which is indeed admirable.
Who doesn’t want all the sons and nephews in the family to be successful? This is true for my nephew, and I think so too.
My nephew, do you remember that I told you that I adopted my third brother’s younger son to live with me?
Now that he is officially my son, I changed his name to Dai Jinguan.
Oh, that kid is really smart, and he is very studious. He was selected as a scholar when he was only twelve years old. I really like him.
You said that Guan'er, a smart kid who is loved by others, must find a good teacher, right?
For his sake, I called all the people from the Imperial College to my home and picked them one by one. Finally, I finally selected one and asked him to come to my home to be our Guan'er's teacher.
Who would have thought that when I came back from Suzhou, I talked about "Heshan Academy" at home with Mr. Book Friend. Good guy, that boy from our family held my thigh and rubbed me. He said he wanted to go to Heshan Academy in Suzhou to study.
He said that if there could be a famous teacher like Mr. Shuyou, he would have passed the exam at the age of fifteen.
Of course it would be great if he passed the national examination at the age of fifteen, but how could I be willing to let my child go so far? Furthermore, what if he doesn’t adapt to the climate in the south?
Oh, I was so anxious. I was so coaxing and persuading, saying that I would wait until he was older.
Finally, I agreed that I would send him there when he was fifteen, and he gave me a high-five.
I was worried about this, but this time it’s good. Mr. Shuyou came to the capital and opened Heshan Academy to our own place.
I just want to come and discuss with my nephew to see if I can take my boy into the academy and study with Mr. Shuyou. Is it possible?"
.
Dai Quan, the Prime Minister of the Daming Palace, came to speak in person. Why should I agree to this?
What's more, they sent another big gift first, forty-five fine Guqins, including a Tang Qin that made Mr. Shuyou's eyes light up when he saw it. This gift is quite generous.
Jia Lian smiled and said:
"Shibo, what are you talking about?
Shibo's son wanted to come to study, so he sent him there, but where could he ask "Is it possible?"
After a pause, he said again:
"There are only two things that must be reported to Ming Shibo first.
The level of students in Heshan Academy also varies. In the early days, the number of students was small, and the book friends only set levels according to high, medium and low.
Later, when there were more people, different classes were set up in the same grade according to the level of the students, A, B, C and D.
Nowadays, when the children of our Jia family enter school, their husbands must take the exam first, and then they will be judged according to the exam results to determine which level or class they will enter.
Therefore, the first thing is that the young master of the Shibo family must take an exam when entering school.
The second thing is that the academy has always treated everyone equally. Examinations are held regularly. If you do well in the exam, you will be promoted to the senior class; if you do not do well in the exam, you will be demoted to the lower class. Even those who have never studied hard will be beaten when they deserve it.
Punishment must be punished. Shibo must have thought about it carefully. Don't be reluctant to let go when the time comes, then it will be difficult for everyone."
"It's done, it's done, it's done! It's all for the good of the children. There's nothing I can't do."
Dai Quan nodded his head like a chicken domi.
Just when Jia Lian thought the matter was settled, Dai Quan unexpectedly laughed and said:
"Oh, my good nephew, you see... we are also driving one sheep and herding two sheep. I still have..."
As he spoke, Dai Quan took out a roll of paper from his arms and slowly unfolded it, revealing a list of names.
