Just as he was thinking about it, the old man greeted him: "Not only do I know Ying Ci, but we are also members of the same family. You are a new scholar who has just arrived. Come and talk in the shade of the tree."
Sitting at a stone table in the shade of a tree, he was actually able to serve refreshments. This man said, "I am Ying Ci's second uncle, and I am now a professor at a government school."
"It turns out to be Professor Zheng." Su Ziji was surprised and saluted.
This person is Zheng Lixuan, a second-rank Jinshi. I remember that when he reached the third rank, he reached sixty and retired due to illness. Now it seems that he is in good health.
The previous dynasty's government schools had one Xuezheng and three disciplines. After the establishment of the Zheng Dynasty, more attention was paid to the imperial examination and official education, and disciplines were added.
As for professors, they are usually retired officials (Jinshi) who use their remaining talents and are hard to come by.
Of course, retired officials are also willing. Not only are professors very respected, but professors are still in the seventh rank and can enjoy seventh rank treatment in addition to half salary (retirement).
What's more important is that whenever the students they teach become officials, they will always have to worry about a certain amount of love.
Zheng Lixuan did not accept the gift calmly. He waved his hand and said, "This is in private, so there is no need to be polite."
At this time, the book boy was serving tea, and Zheng Lixuan called Su Ziji to drink tea: "You just came to study here, so you may not know that there are refreshments around here, you can greet them, and a bowl of ten coins can drink water."
"Come on, let's have a drink on a hot day. Although it's not the best, it can quench your thirst."
Such cordiality made Su Ziji couldn't help but murmur in his heart: "Although I know Zheng Yingci, we don't have a close relationship. Maybe there is a chance to seize the opportunity. The professor is Zheng Yingci's elder, could he treat me because of Zheng Yingci's face?"
Is this good?"
"Maybe it's not because of Zheng Yingci."
While Su Ziji was deep in thought, Zheng Lixuan was also sizing up Su Ziji in front of him.
It has to be said that Su Ziji's appearance is quite good. In addition, he has awakened the memories of his past life and practiced the Panlong Secret Technique. He is more confident than ordinary students and his hands will not shake even when killing people.
If a person has confidence, he will be calm in everything and have his own magnanimity.
"No wonder you think it's the blood of that person." Zheng Lixuan just felt that there was something pleasing to his eyes. The princes of several princes were inferior to him. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart and thought to himself: "Sure enough, a hero comes from a young age, but he doesn't look like Chi."
The thing in it."
"Even if you don't have that person's bloodline, I'm afraid you won't be able to stay under him for a long time just because of your temperament."
Then I asked Su Ziji some questions carefully and found that Su Ziji was indeed not an embroidered pillow, but had real talent and knowledge.
He already had a good impression of smart students, and Su Ziji was young, so Zheng Lixuan nodded with satisfaction.
"Come to class in the afternoon. Chen Xundao will teach "Shang Shu" in the afternoon. Although he is a scholar, he has taught a Jinshi and is very famous in the government school."
Su Ziji knew that Zheng Lixuan was instructing him not to miss the afternoon class, so he immediately said: "Students understand."
Zheng Lixuan gave Su Ziji some instructions on what to pay attention to in his studies before letting him leave.
Returning to the dormitory, as soon as I entered the door, I could smell the aroma of rice. It wasn't Ye Buhui who started a fire. After all, I just arrived and I didn't know where to buy firewood, and I didn't have time to cook.
"There was a stall selling food outside Fuxue, so I bought some." Seeing Su Ziji looking over, Ye Buhui explained.
Then he said: "However, I didn't expect the price to be cheaper than in the county."
"There are many people here, so maybe small profits but quick turnover." Su Ziji washed his hands and asked Ye Buhui to sit down. The two ate hot vegetable cakes and communicated in low voices.
Seeing that Ye Buhui was a little tired from traveling, but he felt a little more relaxed after staying in the small courtyard, Su Ziji felt a little at ease.
The two casually finished eating at noon. Su Ziji told Ye Buhui to rest and to be busy tomorrow if he had something to do. He took a nap for a while, washed up again, and cheered up to go to the lecture hall.
In the past tense, I also brought a book with me. Although I didn't need it, it was polite.
When I arrived, I discovered that the school looked quite big, but in fact there were not many students. There were only sixty or seventy people, and these were all scholars.
According to the laws of the Zheng Dynasty, becoming a scholar is not a one-time thing. Instead of taking part in the imperial examination, scholars must also take the annual examination. Each province recommends students and presides over the annual examination, and the results are divided into six grades.
Generally speaking, first and second class can be promoted to supplementary students and hyperplasia; third class is regarded as an ordinary result, good or not bad; fourth class will be punished. If you pass the fifth class, the junior students and hyperplasia will be reduced by one grade, and the appendix will be reduced to Qingyi. This is not the scariest thing. The scariest thing is that after taking the sixth grade exam, you will be dismissed.
Scholars are not so easy to take exams, and deposing them will not only waste their hard work, but also cause great harm to their face. Therefore, in order not to be deposed, the scholars must review carefully every year and dare not slack off.
This is also the reason why you can really breathe a sigh of relief after passing the Juren exam, because only by passing the Juren exam can you be considered a lifelong body. If there is no serious crime, your honor will not be revoked, and you don't need to take the exam again to truly change your family.
Su Zi was born as a junior student. As soon as he arrived at the lecture hall of the government school, he attracted the attention of Chen Xundao and his fellow scholars.
After all, Linsheng is a scholar who is directly qualified to take part in the provincial examination. Even if he has just entered a government school, he is still among the top scholars. As a scholar, how many of them are willing to be inferior to others and consider themselves inferior?
Facing these cryptic glances, Su Ziji calmly saluted Chen Xundao, who taught two courses: books and etiquette. At his signal, he sat down in an empty seat.
The subject of calligraphy is very important. Su Ziji is no stranger to "Shang Shu". It can even be said that anyone who has passed the imperial examination can basically memorize "Shang Shu" from top to bottom, but memorizing it does not mean understanding.
Although Chen Xundao was only a candidate, he had bad luck and experienced the mourning of his parents, grandparents, and the loss of his wife. When he was finally able to take part in the general examination, he had bad luck in the examination for several times, so he simply gave up the examination and came back.
The government has become a training officer.
The disciples taught by Chen Xun have successfully won the Jinshi. Compared with the county school, the lectures are more flexible and more suitable for the imperial examination.
"Chen Bonan teaches you [The Mysteries of Shangshu], do you want to learn it?"
Finally, it was time for rapid growth again. Su Ziji burst into tears. The mouse entered the rice barn. It was not easy. He immediately said "yes"!
Just then, a bunch of information came in instantly, and a light cyan prompt appeared in the field of vision: "[Shang Shu Secret] has been learned, [Experience 4], [Experience 3], [Experience 5]..."
"There is indeed something genuine, and it has more experience than Fang Juren."
"Fu Xue is indeed the essence of a government." There is no provincial school, or there is not much difference between provincial school and Fu Xue. The window of the lecture hall is open. Zheng Lixuan, who is standing outside looking at it, his eyes fall on Su Ziji. When he sees the young man listening,
Be serious, nod and walk away.
After walking for a while, in the shade of the trees, I stopped and looked back: "Three generations of the Su family are all innocent, how can they be of the prince's blood? Besides, they are only one year apart in age."
It was quiet behind him, but he knew that someone was listening not far away.
He turned around and continued walking forward slowly, saying, "However, since I have obeyed the decree, I should do my best."
"In your opinion, how should I learn?" a voice asked in my ear.
Zheng Lixuan thought for a while: "I also read his paper. He has a solid foundation, extraordinary talent, can draw inferences from one instance, and is diligent. All he needs is the guidance of a famous teacher."
"Nowadays, government officials such as Chen Bonan and Zhang Pingzhi are also famous candidates. If he is really talented, he will definitely be successful."
