(Asking for recommendation votes, I also saw Uncle Guan’s kind flowers, x...)
When a child who has been away from home for many days comes back, what greets him is never flowers or applause.[]
Although he had a good attitude in confessing his crime and swore that from now on he would not hear anything outside the window and only read the books of sages, Chen Ke was only spared the pain of his flesh and blood and was still imprisoned for seven days.
When he saw the Su family, it was already the last day of April...
That day, the door was opened, he was let out, he washed his face hastily, and was led to the backyard by Erlang.
Entering the main room, he saw that not only his brothers were present, but Su Xun and his wife, and Su Baniang's sister and brother were also there. Chen Ke suddenly felt very depressed: "We won't have to have three trials."
Fortunately, Chen Xiliang didn't even look at him.
Chen Ke wisely stood at the end of Chen's class, facing the four students from Su's class. He saw that Banniang and his younger sister were all snickering, Su Shi was making faces, and Su Che didn't hold back... In a word
, everyone is smiling at him.
Only then did Chen Ke realize that his hair had not been washed and his clothes had not been changed, so his current appearance must be hard to compliment. If anyone else would have lowered their heads shyly, he flipped his forehead hair as if nothing had happened, tilting his chin slightly, quite
I have the awareness that it is hard to give up on your natural beauty.
"Puch..." The Su family brothers and sisters opposite them couldn't help but laugh, and Su Shi burst into laughter.
Looking at Chen Ke again, he turned into an honest person who lowered his head and confessed his crime.
His movements were very small, and he was standing at the end. Only the Su family brothers and sisters across from him could see him. The elders above him could not see clearly, and they could only see the Su family brothers and sisters trembling with laughter. This made Su Xunden feel completely ashamed.
Dawei Guanghuo said: "Why are you laughing? He Zhong, are you itchy again?!"
"..." Su Shi immediately lowered his head and said miserably: 'Why is it that every time I get scolded, I am the representative...'
"Forget it, Brother Laoquan, it would be better for the boy to be more lively." Chen Xiliang felt very happy, and said energetically: "Let's get down to business."
"Yeah." Su Xun nodded and said, "You tell me."
"That's fine." Chen Xiliang cleared his throat and said to all his nephews and nephews: "You and other young people, the main reason for improving your studies is to show your virtue. But it goes without saying that at this stage, passing the imperial examination is the most important thing. Youth
Shenzhongyan Academy was founded by the great Confucian king Fang Wang Laofuzi. It has an outstanding position in Meizhou and even in neighboring counties. Its prestige is so high that during the Qingli establishment of schools, we in Meizhou did not hold a separate official school, but Zhongyan Academy took over.
.”
The so-called 'Qingli Establishment of Schools' is part of the Qingli New Deal and one of several policies that have been continued - its purpose is clear, that is, 'In addition to the old schools, the military superintendents of all the roads and prefectures have ordered the establishment of schools.'
In order to improve the status of official schools, the 'New Deal' also stipulated that only those who had studied in school for more than 300 days were eligible to take the imperial examination.
Obviously, establishing the special status of official schools has had a great impact on private schools. In just a few years, the private colleges that had been prosperous since the founding of the People's Republic of China have declined. However, super academies like Yuelu Academy have not been shaken by official schools.
, instead transformed into a government school and completely became the hegemon in the academic world.
Zhongyan Academy is unknown in the country and is not considered a leader in Sichuan, but it receives the same treatment as the four major academies. This makes those major academies that are far more famous than it can only envy and envy while picking up their jaws.
Hate it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After a long and drowsy speech, Chen Xiliang finally got to the point: "This year, Zhongyan Academy will open another class, and registration will be opened the next day. You must be alert, this time is different from the past. In the past, we were not in Zhongyan Academy.
If you study, you can go to other academies or study on your own, and it won't affect your understanding. Now, the rules have changed, you can't enter Zhongyan Academy, and you don't even have the qualifications to take the imperial examination!"
"That's right," Su Xun couldn't bear it anymore. Chen Xiliang spoke in a long-winded way and took over the conversation: "If you don't get into Zhongyan Academy, don't even come back!" He glanced around and said, "Do you have any questions?
?”
"..." The juniors looked at each other in confusion.
"Yes, I would like to ask Uncle Su, are there any exams required to enter Zhongyan Academy?" Chen Ke raised his hand.
"I didn't want it before, but now it's a government school. Students from all counties are coming this week." Su Xun said, "The places are limited, so we have to take the exam."
"If you fail the exam, you will have to wait until next year." Chen Xiliang added.
The children of the Chen family looked at Su Xun in a different way. They thought to themselves that they had moved here before taking the exam. Uncle Su was really good at that. But if he passed the exam, he would add two to two and become a "cow".
.
"What are the tests?" Chen Ke asked again.
"Who knows if this is the first exam to be held, but it is nothing more than Four Books and Six Classics, poems and couplets." The two elders shook their heads irresponsibly: "Anyway, those who want to take the exam should go back and study hard. You are not allowed to go out tomorrow, so prepare for the exam with peace of mind.
Let’s break up…”
All the juniors saluted their elders together and then filed out.
When the Chen and Su families arrived in the yard, they found that Chen Ke had disappeared and probably went to take a bath.
"It seems that he is not shy, but he is just teasing us on purpose." Su Shi said with a smile, "But he gave us a hard time."
"The days of being cheated will be long in the future." Chen Erlang joked: "My younger brother has a nickname of 'Mass Grave', so He Zhong should be careful."
"Do you think I'm a vegetarian?!" Su Shi immediately ignited his fighting spirit and said.
"Beware of arrogance and impetuosity, He Zhong." Su Baniang pinched her brother's ears skillfully and said: "You are not allowed to go out tomorrow. Let the second brother of the Chen family supervise you!"
"Don't worry, Shimei." Chen Chen, who was still a bit like a big brother, immediately blushed when he heard this: "I promise not to let him go out..."
"Then what are you doing?" Su Shi felt embarrassed in front of the Chen brothers, so he broke away and jumped to the side.
"Will I be very free? There are many of you going to school. Are your bookcases ready? Pens, inks, papers and inkstones, umbrellas, clogs, snacks and wraps..." Banniang said helplessly: "Don't you need to prepare?"
After she finished, she smiled at Chen Chen and said, "I have already told Uncle Chen that Sanlang and Wulang will be left to me to prepare."
"Thank you so much, Shimei." Chen Chen's face turned red and he said, "Can you help me..." He wanted to say, 'Can you get me one too?' But he was so embarrassed that he had to change his words: "
Such a big deal."
"It's just a little effort." Banniang said with a generous smile: "Okay, let's go work separately!" After saying that, she took the little girl's hand and prepared to go shopping on the street.
Chen Erlang wanted to follow, but he was like a frog being strangled by the neck, bulging his cheeks and making no sound.
"Second brother, you go too!" A familiar voice sounded at the Moon Gate, but it was Chen Sanlang who quickly cleaned himself up and returned.
"I, what am I going to do?" After Chen Erlang said this, he wanted to slap himself.
Chen Ke also wanted to kick him: "Lead the way, do accounts, carry bags... there are so many hooligans on the street, and you have to protect them!"
"Then, I'll go..." Chen Chen chased after him desperately.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the afternoon.
In the small study room at the second entrance of the Chen Mansion, there is a large bookshelf facing the door. The bookshelf is filled with books of all kinds. Between the bookshelf and the door, there are two large bookcases facing each other. On the bookcases, there are four treasures of the study, as well as paperweights and water bottles.
Bowls, pen washers, pen trays and other stationery of various colors.
Chen Ke was sitting behind a desk on his right. The desk was covered with the Four Books and Six Classics, and he was reading them one by one at a speed that was difficult for ordinary people to achieve.
He was so engrossed in watching that he didn't even notice when Chen Xiliang came in.
Chen Xiliang didn't say anything and sat down opposite him. Chen Ke finished reading another book and looked up to find his presence: "Dad, please remember to knock on the door next time."
"You brat, you still hold grudges against me." Chen Xiliang laughed and said, "You don't know who you learned this from."
"intrinsic."
"Okay, let's stop joking." Chen Xiliang said seriously: "In the past few years, I have only let you memorize and write at home, and have not let you go out to study. Will you be nervous about the exam tomorrow?"
"I didn't originally, but now I ask Father..." Chen Ke said slowly. When he was happy, he would only call him daddy. When he was unhappy, he would change it to 'father'.
"how?"
"Still not nervous."
"Speak well." Chen Xiliang was quite helpless. He knew that every time his youngest son was punished, he would become harsh in his words. He didn't know where he got such a bad temper: "Just don't be nervous. Take the test well and perform to your best.
I believe in your strength, there will be no problem."
"I also believe in myself." Chen Ke nodded and said seriously: "Do you know why I am so depressed?"
"Why?"
"Because based on the previous sentencing standards, I should have been detained for three days. This time, I was detained for four days longer. Obviously I became a victim of the competition between you and Uncle Su." Chen Ke shook his head and said: "Father often said
, A gentleman should be punished lightly...and you also know that I am definitely not going out to have fun."
"Hey..." Chen Xiliang was right. He heard that Su Shiqiao's family was imprisoned for six days when he came back. He thought that the family law of the Chen family cannot be half that of the Su family, so it is not only doubled but also more.
One day... feeling guilty, he had to change the subject and said: "If you told me what to do, wouldn't it save me this confinement?"
"Forget it, it's all settled, there's no need to talk." Now it was Chen Ke's turn to change the subject: "Father, don't worry about me. You must be admitted to the Jinshi this time, otherwise you will have to be with me next time.
Classmate..."
"Uh, brat..." Chen Xiliang is depressed, but this is indeed a fact. According to the New Deal, everyone must go to school for a hundred days before taking the imperial examination. This time, the court is considerate of the elderly and is particularly merciful. If you fail to pass the exam,
, next time, no matter what age you are, you have to go to school... It would be embarrassing enough to take the exam with your son. If you still study together, you will be killed by a piece of tofu.
