Seeing that Chen Xiliang even used the slogans of Emperor Zhenzong in order to persuade him to study, Chen Ke couldn't help but secretly chuckle... He was in his twenties and thirties in his last life. How could he not understand simple truths? Who wouldn't?
We know that there were two classes in the Song Dynasty - the king and the scholar-bureaucrats were on one level, and the rest of the people were on another level.[]
Being an official in the Song Dynasty not only gave you status, dignity, and financial income, but it was also equivalent to getting a gold medal for immunity from death. This was a country that did not kill scholar-bureaucrats. Even if they broke the law, they would at most be dismissed from office and exiled.
You are not implicated in confiscating your home, and you don’t have to worry about being killed one day. Otherwise, how could future generations of scholars be so fascinated by the Song Dynasty?
If nothing else, if the emperor personally does the advertising work, it must have a policy preference. Unless he is really not the right person, if he doesn't study and seek an official career, he will definitely have his head caught in the door.
However, people who are accustomed to doing business must firstly watch their words and emotions, and secondly, hide their inner thoughts. Of course, there is nothing to guess about Chen Xiliang's intentions - poor parents in the world, they only hope that Jiaoer will study well. Fundamentally, there is no conflict between the two.
, however, Chen Ke’s temperament bears the mark of his previous life and he is most unwilling to be controlled by others. He does not expect to be unrestrained, but he wants to strive for as much freedom as possible, so he pretends to be uninterested in learning and waits for Chen Xiliang to give him a generous offer.
conditions of.
This should be measured carefully, otherwise Chen Xiliang will be offended, and he will be beaten to pieces.
As the saying goes, ‘a gentleman can be deceived’, if you don’t deceive, don’t deceive…
Sure enough, Chen Xiliang was the first to bid: "As long as you can complete your daily homework, you can spend the rest of your time freely!"
"If you have to deal with homework every day, the time is too trivial." Chen Ke counterattacked: "Why not check it once in a while, so that it is good for you and me."
"What do you need so much time for?" In Chen Xiliang's impression, what is the point of playing for such a big child? Why should he spend the whole day playing?
"To tell you the truth from dad..." Chen Ke then revealed where he had been these past few days.
Chen Xiliang was furious at first and wanted to beat up this daring boy. But when he heard that Chen Ke decided to teach Cai Chuanfu the cooking skills so that he could support his mother, Chen Xiliang was moved again: "Then
Boss Cai is indeed a filial son. If you can help him, it will be a good deed." Then he patted his head and said: "So you did this yesterday, so you just said no and it's over? Why bother?
You hid it from me, got a meal for nothing, and even spent a whole night in solitary confinement."
"..." Chen Ke flattered him lightly and said, "I never thought you would be so... enlightened."
"I am an open-minded man." Chen Xiliang was really impressed and said with a smile: "You can teach him cooking skills, but you can skip the matter of buying shares. A gentleman will not take advantage of others. We just need to pay him back."
Already."
"..." Chen Kexin said that I was really a prodigal, so he insisted: "Our family will also need some income in the future. We can't just point to my father and make efforts. After getting the money back, let's get some shares in his shop.
Just don’t bully him anyway.”
"Let's wait until his business gets better." Chen Xiliang is not the kind of old-fashioned person. It makes sense to think about it. If he gets sick and suffers a disaster, his children will not starve to death, so he warned: "When the time comes, I will have someone else."
If they are able to repay their debts and are willing to let us buy shares, then we are not taking advantage of others’ danger.”
"Yes." Chen Ke saw that he was perfunctory and said happily: "It all depends on daddy."
"Then check your homework once every five days." Chen Xiliang didn't know if this was right, but he was willing to give it a try. Because he felt endless vitality from Chen Ke. He couldn't help but have an expectation to see what he could do.
What a new world!
"It's still ten days..."
"Well..." Chen Xiliang's nasal voice was thick.
"Five days, just five days..." Chen Ke accepted decisively and did not dare to bargain again.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chen Ke still underestimated Chen Xiliang. Although a gentleman can be bullied, his IQ is not low at all. Chen Xiliang still left a backdoor in the agreement between father and son - father and son only agreed to check up every five days, but the amount of coursework was decided by me.
in hand.
The ancients spared no efforts in learning, how can they let the naughty children seek leisure?
Moreover, Lao Chen was very excited and wanted to compare his Sanlang and the Su family's Erlang to see whose son was better!
After careful consideration, he decided to hold Chen Ke to the highest standards. Before formulating the specific curriculum, Chen Xiliang first conducted a comprehensive test on Chen Ke. It turned out that his university knowledge was much better than expected, but his elementary school knowledge was a mess.
.
In this era, the study of Confucian classics was regarded as the university, and the study of language and writing was called the primary school. Compared with the people of the Song Dynasty, Chen Ke had accumulated knowledge beyond the times, analyzed problems more comprehensively, and had more novel thinking perspectives. In addition, he had been familiar with Confucian classics since he was a child.
His explanation and elucidation of some subtle words and big ideas are naturally far superior to those of his peers, even more so than Chen Xiliang.
But Chen Ke's knowledge is fragmented and unsystematic. He understands some scriptures deeply, misinterprets some scriptures very badly, and knows nothing about some scriptures... But in Chen Xiliang's view, this is normal, because he
The meaning of the scriptures was never explained to him, as long as he recited them repeatedly.
This is not because Chen Xiliang is lazy, but because the teaching method is like this at this time. First, it is to lay a solid foundation for subsequent learning. Second, these saints’ words have profound philosophy and connotations, which cannot be explained clearly in a few words.
Even if you explain it, you may not understand it. You need students to understand it on their own, and then when they enter a higher level of study, the profound scholars will teach and clarify their doubts.
In any case, Chen Xiliang believed that Chen Ke had a very high level of understanding and a very strong thinking ability. He was able to think of so many things on his own without being taught by a teacher... He was simply the embryo of a great Confucian!
"Confucius was just like this when he was a child..." the father thought lustfully. If he knew that Chen Ke's amazing words were all based on the Nine Heavens Literature Network of later generations, he would not know what to expect.
What a disappointment.
But in primary school, Chen Ke's performance was disastrous.
The so-called primary school requires students to identify the form of words, understand the phonology and rhyme, and explain clearly.
The first is to identify the body shape. Although Chen Ke can hardly read or write, his one-stroke writing is too ugly... This is not a big problem, because the ancients did not start learning calligraphy from childhood. They believed that when they were young, their bones were 'soft and easily injured'.
So we have to wait until the child grows up before we start teaching him how to write and practice calligraphy. It starts from about ten years old, and Saburo is not yet ten years old.
The real trouble lies in the aspects of "clear phonology" and "clear exegesis". The so-called phonology is the pronunciation of words, and the so-called exegesis is the explanation of words. The former is the basis of the latter. Without clear phonology, there can be no true exegesis.
This is Chen Ke's trouble. Due to the migration of times and the geographical separation between the north and the south, the difference in pronunciation is very obvious. Therefore, he tried to speak as little as possible in front of Chen Xiliang, just for fear of being seen through and exposed.
But if you want to read, read, and rhyme correctly, you must master the pronunciation of today's people. What's even more terrifying is that in addition to mastering the pronunciation of the Song Dynasty people, you also have to master the pronunciation of the ancients... People in the Tang Dynasty have the pronunciation of the Tang people, and people in the Han Dynasty have the pronunciation of the Han people.
Phonology, pre-Qin people have pre-Qin phonology. If you don’t master the pronunciation and tones of that era, you won’t be able to truly understand the writing of that era... Because explaining the meaning of words often requires pronunciation to explain the problem.
In fact, the people of the Song Dynasty did not teach much about primary school, did not delve into the meaning of scriptures, and did not explore the phonology of the ancients, but that was just for ordinary scholars. All accomplished scholars were proficient in phonology.
and exegesis, because primary school is the foundation of a university. If the foundation is not laid well, the superstructure will not be very strong.
Chen Xiliang insisted that if you don't understand characters, rhyme, exegesis, astronomy, calendar, and numeracy, you can't read ancient books, you can only copy what others say, and you can't discover what no one has done before!
He is training his own Saburo in the direction of a great scholar!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After identifying the problem, it was natural to prescribe the right remedy. Chen Xiliang gave the first assignment - to read the main text of "Guangyun".
The so-called "Guangyun", the full name of which is "Reconstruction of Guangyun in the Song Dynasty", consists of five volumes. It is a rhyme book compiled by officials at the founding of the People's Republic of China, and is also the most complete collection of rhyme books in the past. The whole book contains 26,194 characters and annotations.
There are a total of 191,692 words. Basically, whoever is looking at it is vomiting, and it is intimidating to look at it. How can I arouse the interest in learning?
This is certainly not in line with the Song Dynasty's goal of making the imperial examination the most comprehensive undertaking. Therefore, during the reign of Zhenzong, in order to facilitate scholars to memorize and master and reduce the difficulty of taking the examination, the Ministry of Rites issued a simpler "Yun Lue", which only included 9,000 characters.
Five hundred and ninety, which is much less than "Guangyun".
But Chen Xiliang had high standards and strict requirements for Sanlang, so he naturally skipped "Yun Lue" and went directly to "Guang Yun".
When Sanlang saw these five rhyme books, he calculated the time. He copied one book a day, and he had to use the official script, and not a word was scrawled! He couldn't help but scream in his heart: 'Your sister, do you want me to do anything else?'
He protested, but Chen Xiliang lifted the veil of warmth and revealed his harsh true face, saying expressionlessly: "According to the agreement, as long as you fail to complete your homework once, your privileges will be revoked!" He said with a cold smile: "Instead of lamenting here.
, it’s better to pick up the pen and write quickly!”
"Ah..." Sanlang screamed and fell on the bed. Originally, he was infinitely envious of his brothers for winning his freedom, but all they had left was deep sympathy.
