(Come on, dear, try your best and you’ll come in second!)
"Student, I know I'm wrong..." Young masters from big families are accustomed to assessing the situation. Cheng Zhicai had already inquired about Wang Fang's background. If he really wanted to piss off the old gentleman, he would not buy into the Cheng family's account.
"If you know that you can correct your mistakes, you can do better." Wang Fang said calmly: "From now on, no matter whether you write poems or prose, you must remember that what you say has something to do. The text is to convey the truth, not to show off your rhetoric. Remember it."
"Students are kindly taught..." the scholars bowed and saluted together.
"Let Deacon Yuan explain the academy's regulations to you, I'm going down the mountain." Wang Fang stood up.
"Farewell to the Chief..." The etiquette in the school is much stricter than in society. Although Chen Ke does not have the schooling experience of others, he has a caring father who has taught him everything he needs to know.
.
"School rules of Zhongyan Academy." Deacon Yuan glanced at the students coldly: "Always ask your parents; pay homage to the sages every day of the year; correct your habits; behave neatly and solemnly; be frugal in food; do not do anything in foreign affairs.
Do it; walk and sit according to the order of the teeth; refrain from criticizing shortcomings and destroying good ones; refuse to hurt friends; do not waste time by idle talk; lecture on scriptures three times a day; read several pages of outlines a day; be familiar with current affairs and physics; read ancient poems and poems; reading must be
Write a pen; finish classes as early as possible; be careful when reading at night; try hard to resolve doubts! You must remember the above eighteen academic rules, recite them when you get up every morning, be careful in your words and deeds, and be self-disciplined. Violators will be severely punished
No loan!"
"We will keep this in mind..." the students responded respectfully.
"Well, let's leave for now." Deacon Yuan said, "The academy will officially start school the day after tomorrow. We'll be here on time." After a pause, he said, "According to regulations, students in this county should study day-to-day, but the mountain chief takes pity on you and granted permission.
I’ll make an exception for you. If there are students from this county who want to apply for accommodation, go next door and sign up with me!”
As soon as Deacon Yuan left, all the students fell to the ground, rubbing their unruly legs and feet, and started complaining to each other. Everyone has been used to sitting on chairs since they were young, how could they stand to sit on their knees for such a long time?
"Are you planning to stay?" Chen Ke supported his knees and stood up slowly.
"No, I plan to study away from home." Su Shi said, "My mother and sister have moved to Qingshen, isn't it just to see each other every day?"
"Yeah." Chen Ke said with a smile: "I don't plan to live on campus. I have to have someone take care of me even when I sleep. It's too restrictive." After that, he pulled Shiro up and said, "You can go home and live too."
"Eldest brother has arranged a place for me." Silang is the most gentle and gentle among the Chen brothers. But he said that Chen Xishi and his wife are such a rotten couple, but they have such two good sons. It is really blind.
"If you can, stay, and if you can't, leave." Chen Sanlang is the strongest of the Chen brothers: "Home is always better than school, and we can get closer."
"Okay then." The last sentence touched Shiro.
"Are you still free at home?" Song Duanping came over and said with a smile: "As long as there is a bed."
"If I dare to say no, Uncle Song will come and kill me with a knife." Chen Ke laughed and said, "Let's go together, let's go together!"
Several people packed their book boxes and went out chatting and laughing, but were stopped by a teaching assistant: "Who is Su Shi?"
"I am."
"Come with me, the mountain leader invites you."
Su Shi went away inexplicably. After drinking tea, he turned back with a letter in his hand and said: "It turns out that the mountain chief and my father are old friends. He asked me to bring a letter back."
"That's it." It was getting late, so everyone trotted down the mountain. When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, Wulang had already been waiting eagerly: "The second brother said that they moved to the temple. It was too inconvenient to go down the mountain, so they stopped going home every day.
Already."
"That's fine," Chen Ke said, "Let's get on the road quickly."
The group of people left Zhongyan Temple and rushed to the county town.
The setting sun dyed the sky red, and the wind-blown wheat waves on the dam made the relieved teenagers laugh. They chased each other with book boxes on their backs, and their laughter echoed in the countryside...until they were stopped by the Cheng family at the river dam.
superior.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The three Cheng Zhiyuan brothers all entered the lower monastery, so they had left school early and were here specifically to wait for the Chen brothers.
Seeing the absence of the two elders, Cheng Zhiyuan lost all scruples. He rode on his horse and said condescendingly: "Now that we are six or seven miles away from the academy, beating you will be in vain, right?"
"It's my turn to say this." Chen Ke threw the book box to the ground, flexed his muscles and said, "I have long disliked you!" How dare you ride a horse and show off in front of me all day long, don't you see?
Don’t I even have to ride a donkey?!
The fire of jealousy was raging, Chen Ke was gearing up and said with excitement: "Let's go together!"
"Uh..." The Cheng family brothers were a little surprised, thinking that there are such people who deserve to be beaten? In their opinion, the three servants on their side are skilled practitioners, and they will definitely be able to easily deal with these brats.
Then he bared his teeth and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Come on!"
"As long as I'm a chipmunk!" A servant stood out from the crowd. The lower class people in the Song Dynasty liked to give nicknames, and 'chicken mouse' was this person's nickname. He took off his shirt, revealing patterns all over his body.
He said calmly: "Baby, let's go together!"
"Go!" Chen Ke shouted, and he and Wu Lang rushed forward. Before the chipmunk could react, Chen Ke kicked him to the ground, and then Wu Lang picked up one of his legs, shouted loudly, and threw it to the ground.
In the rice fields.
‘Ouch…’ This was the first time a scream came from the field.
The Chen brothers, who grew up eating beef, and who have practiced martial arts boxing since they were young, can easily deal with ten or eight of these gangsters who have no meat on their bodies.
The Cheng brothers were dumbfounded. They thought they were here to bully the weak, but unexpectedly they kicked the door.
"You attack in a sneak attack, two against one, and you won't win without force!" Cheng Zhiyi urged the other two to step forward to fight.
"Leave these two to me." Before Chen Ke and Wu Lang could move, a figure flashed forward and beat the two servants until they couldn't get up.
A small whirlwind blew by, and the servants groaned helplessly: 'It's annoying, I haven't registered my number yet...'
"The bit player doesn't need a name," Na finished his work, put on a pretentious pose and said, "I'm different, my name is Song Duanping, who can't fight against injustice!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Hehehehe..." Chen Ke smiled ferociously, approaching the Cheng family brothers step by step. In the past, he had only beaten local gangsters, but he had never tasted such fine skin and tender meat from the young masters of the aristocratic family.
The three book boys were all young men. When they saw that the thugs who usually showed off their power were lying down, they were so frightened that they stepped back. The Cheng brothers who were riding on the horse no longer felt condescending and couldn't help but said in a panic: "You, don't mess up.
Come on, do you know who we are?"
"I don't care what your surname is!" Chen Keji pointed at Cheng Zhiyuan and the others and said, "Let me remember today. In Qingshen, if it's a dragon, you have to be coiled by me, and if it's a tiger, you have to lie down with me! "When he said this, he was so angry that he still had the tone of a scholar.
"Forget it, forget it." Just as he couldn't watch Chen Ke being bullied, Su Shi couldn't watch the Cheng brothers being beaten. He quickly grabbed Sanlang and said, "Third brother, I beg you, don't be like him this time." , otherwise I won’t be able to explain to my mother.” He angrily said to Brother Cheng Zhiyuan: “You imitate that evil young man’s behavior, I will definitely tell my uncle and punish you severely!”
"This matter can't be settled like this." The Cheng family brothers were already disgraced. Cheng Zhiyuan said harsh words, turned his horse's head and was about to leave... but felt his ankle tighten. When he lowered his head, he saw that Chen Iekurogoro grabbed it. Thinking of the scene where the black man was throwing people at people just now, he had no doubt that as long as the other party exerted force, he would fly out.
"How do you want to finish it?" Chen Ke said coldly.
"What I mean is..." Cheng Zhiyuan forced a smile and said, "I will set up a table in the restaurant another day to make amends to Brother Chen." He was a good man who did not suffer the immediate loss.
"Who can eat your bird rice?" Chen Ke narrowed his eyes and said: "For the sake of He Zhong, I will forgive you for waiting. But from now on, you are not allowed to ride horses on the ground in Qingshen County, otherwise you will be beaten every time you see him!"
"What does this have to do with anything?" Cheng Zhiyuan was confused.
"Because you are blocking traffic and affecting the appearance of the city!" Chen Ke waved his hand domineeringly. Would he say it was because I was nakedly jealous?

When they got home when it was getting dark, the two elders had already prepared a sumptuous dinner for them when they came back.
When they heard that all the children had been admitted, the elders were naturally very happy and asked the children to wash their hands and take their seats.
After washing his hands, Su Shi took out Wang Fang's letter and gave it to his father.
Su Xun unfolded it, looked at it, and smiled at Yaonv who was handing towels to her brothers: "Why are you so unhappy today, little sister?"
"How can there be..." Su Xiaomei smiled and said: "My brothers have all been admitted to the academy, and it's not too late for my daughter to be happy."
"Then why do you have a sullen face all day long?" Su Xun laughed and said, "You can even hang a bottle of oil from your mouth."
"I was nervous because of my brothers." Su Xiaomei made a face and said with a smile, "I feel relieved now."
"Oh, it seems that Daddy may be mistaken," Su Xun said with a sudden look on his face: "I thought you were envious that your brothers can go to school."
"No..." The little girl smiled like a flower, but her eye circles were red.
"Husband, is there anyone like you who can be a father?" Mrs. Cheng looked at Su Xun angrily.
"Hahaha," Su Xun ignored her and kept teasing Yaonv: "Since I don't envy my brothers, then I will go back to Old Master Wang and let him find another daughter."
"What are you doing?" The little girl is very smart. Her eyes widened when she heard this, looking forward to the hateful father: "Does Master Wang want to accept female disciples?"
"Smart." Su Xun twisted his beard and said with a smile: "Mr. Wang has an old daughter, one year older than you. After losing her mother a few years ago, she lived in the academy and felt lonely and helpless. Mr. Wang remembers that I have a daughter named Lan Xinhui. I have a good daughter, so she wrote to me asking if I could let you study with her." After a pause, he looked at my little sister narrowly and said, "What do you think?"
It was not uncommon for ordinary women in the Song Dynasty to go to academies to learn literacy before they had haircuts. Moreover, Wang Fang promised not to let female children mix with boys, so Su Shi had nothing to worry about.
"It's all up to daddy." The little girl smiled with her eyes crooked.
"I don't really want you to go." Su Xun shook his head and said, "Girl, why are you reading so many books? What's more important is to learn to be a good actress."
"You have to study to be sensible." Everyone knew that Su Xun was deliberately teasing her, but the younger sister was so anxious that she almost cried: "Daddy doesn't want his daughter to become that kind of ignorant and boring woman, right?" …”
"Hahahaha..." The whole table was amused by this teenage girl.
