Lin Yanchao heard Chen Xinggui say this, thought for a while, and said: "I haven't decided on this scripture yet, and let me think about it again before replying to Brother Chen." ”

Chen Xinggui showed a very understanding expression, nodded and said, "Okay, Brother Lin, just say it then." I and a few friends, just to govern the Spring and Autumn Period, the name of the Spring and Autumn Society, there is no shortage of the She, the disciples of the Middle House, each specializing in research on weekdays, only when preaching, only get together to discuss and discuss, sometimes you can get the mountain chief personally instructed, do you know that the mountain chief was the leader of the Five Classics, the province raised the son, he ruled the best in the Spring and Autumn Period. ”

Lin Yanchao couldn't help but be moved when he heard this, he admired the knowledge of the mountain chief, and he also hoped to get his guidance.

Lin Yanchao was really sure that Chen Xinggui was indeed a sincere invitation, but after thinking about it, he still said: "Thank you very much, Brother Chen thinks so highly of me and invites me warmly." I'll give you a reply after I think about it. ”

Chen Xinggui said with a smile: "Okay, Brother Lin doesn't have to worry, there is still half a month." ”

After Chen Xinggui left, Lin Yanchao couldn't help but wonder, what is going on with Chen Xinggui, showing favor to himself, is this what he means to win himself over? ”Is it a trap? Or is it a gesture of goodwill? Lin Yanchao said in his heart that he was a son of a poor family, and he didn't seem to have anything worthy of being framed by the other party, but it wouldn't be enough to show goodwill.

After Chen Xinggui left, Lin Yanchao felt the lack of common sense, and he actually chose which scripture to choose in the Five Classics, which made it difficult.

As the so-called art industry has a specialization, the Han Dynasty set up a doctor of the Five Classics, and a doctor of one classic, and taught his disciples with family law.

At that time, scholars only governed one scripture, and it was very rare to govern two classics, at that time, Xu Shen, the author of the text and the interpretation of words, said that he was also through the Five Classics, and the master of scripture Ma Rong praised his attainments in the scriptures unparalleled, and in addition, there were not many people who could be called the five classics of the two Han Dynasty.

In the Song and Ming dynasties, there were more and more people studying the scriptures. But even if the great Confucians at that time dared to say that they were familiar with the Five Classics, if they taught their disciples, they only dared to choose one of them.

Therefore, Lin Yanchao wants to choose this scripture, preferably in the Spring and Autumn Period, one of the Book of Poetry, especially the Book of Poetry, Lin Liao treats himself very kindly, and learns the Book of Poetry by himself, and he will definitely teach it. In addition, the other three meridian mountain chiefs and lecturers may not be able to teach themselves.

And Lin Yanchao doesn't want to govern the Spring and Autumn Period, the Book of Poetry, he wants to govern the book.

In the previous life, I happened to read the articles of several masters of Chinese studies studying Shangshu in the world, and I had some experiences and opinions about Shangshu that surpassed the ancients in this era. As for the other four classics, he couldn't touch them at all.

There is another reason, in the dark, he has such a liking for Shangshu.

Confucius once said on the Six Classics, "When you enter the country, your teachings can be known, your people are gentle and kind, and your poetry is also taught; Alienation is far away, and books and teachings are also; Broad and easy to teach, music and education; Quiet and subtle, easy to teach; Frugal and respectful, etiquette and teaching; It is a rhetorical comparison, and the Spring and Autumn Sect is also. ”

It is to the effect that when you go to a country and look at its customs, you can know the indoctrination of that country. Being gentle and docile, simple and loyal, that is, the results of the teaching of "poetry"; Knowing the things of the ancients is the result of the teaching of the book; The broad-mindedness and open-mindedness are the result of the teaching of "Music"; If it is clean and quiet, and the insight is subtle, it is the result of the teaching of "Yi"; Dignified and respectful is the result of the teaching of "Rites"; is good at rhetoric and narration, that is the result of the teaching of "Spring and Autumn".

"Shu" is the book of Shang, Shangzi Tongshangzi, which means the book of antiquity, which is recorded from three generations. Zhu Xi made a preface in the mean, and the sixteen-character heart biography of the Confucian saints and saints came from the great Yu Mo in the Shangshu.

As Confucius said, reading the book can alienate you.

Lin Yanchao decided not to rush to conclusions, but to dig up more information.

Lin Yanchao first went directly to the library and borrowed a list of test questions from Fuzhou Prefecture and Township.In this list, the name, age, and place of origin of the Chinese on the same list also records what book the candidate chooses as the scripture during the scientific examination.

Lin Yanchao finished reading this catalogue and summarized it, the poetry in the house, the Spring and Autumn Period, the most easy, the second is the Book of Rites, and the Book is the least. Lin Yanchao couldn't help but want to scold his mother, there are so few students who take Shangshu as the foundation, which means that there are very few teachers in the house who can teach Shangshu.

Do you want to go with the flow and change positions, the Book of Poetry seems to be good, didn't Confucius say that the three hundred poems are innocent. The gist of it is three hundred poems, which can be summarized in one sentence, which is the three views.

The Spring and Autumn Period is also good, Confucius cultivated the Spring and Autumn Period, and made the rebellious ministers and thieves afraid with small words!

But after thinking about it, Lin Yanchao was still reluctant to give up Shangshu, but it was useless to have no scripture teacher who could guide him and was proficient in Shangshu.Forget it, there is still half a month before the scripture is decided, Lin Yanchao wants to ask other people's opinions more before deciding.When they returned to the house, most of them did not sleep.Lin Yanchao's grades are high and low, and everyone now treats Lin Yanchao as a wonder, but they don't know what his true strength is, whether he is cheating or not.

In the house, only Yu Qingzhou and Lin Yanchao, after that night's heart-to-heart, the relationship between the two was good.Lin Yanchao took the opportunity to ask him if he could choose Shangshu as a scripture.Yu Qingzhou was very surprised and asked: "Why did you choose Shangshu?" ”

Lin Yanchao did not hesitate, and said three words shamelessly: "I like it!" Ha ha! ”Yu Qingzhou reprimanded: "It's not that you like it or not, the disciples of the academy generally only govern the "Spring and Autumn Period" and the "Book of Songs", unless you are self-taught, or before you come to the academy, you already have other scripture teachers, otherwise you will generally not change the other scriptures." ”

Lin Yanchao did not speak.Yu Qingzhou lowered his voice and said: "Why are you so casual, you took the second place in the last monthly class, if you have this grade, you are very hopeful to enter the middle house from the outer house, and from the outer class student to the inner class student." But if next month, you choose the Shangshu as the main scripture, who will teach you to govern the scriptures, then there will be no chance at all. ”

Lin Yanchao said at the moment: "Outside students and internal students, except for a little more silver, I don't believe it, when I enter the middle house, I will be smarter when I study, and it is not the same where to study." ”Yu Qingzhou shook his head and said: "You really don't know the rules, you think that there is no difference between external students and internal students, I tell you the truth, in the past hundred years of the academy, there has never been a precedent for foreign students to participate in the children's swab and be able to take the Xiucai exam." ”

"Can't foreign students be talented?"

Yu Qingzhou nodded and said: "It's very difficult, it is generally in the county test, and it falls first in the government test, and it is rare to get the first place in the government test, even if you are lucky enough to win the government test, how can you pass the hospital test." Yanchao, you must know that the promotion and dismissal in the boys' examination is ten times more difficult than that of the three houses of the academy. You can't become an internal student in the academy, so how can you expect to rely on the Chinese style when you take the children's exam, or go home as soon as possible as soon as possible! ”

Lin Yanchao was slightly surprised, Yu Qingzhou sat cross-legged on the bed, and said in the tone of a senior: "You know that it is difficult now, so it doesn't matter if you take the Shuowang class casually, but the monthly class in half a month, and the quarterly class in a month and a half, for you, there is no room for error, and you still have the hope of entering the inner house." ”

After listening to Yu Qingzhou's words, Huang Biyou on the side also came over and said: "Brother Yanchao, if your next monthly class is still ranked the same as this Shuowang class, even if you do well in the quarterly class, you will not have a chance to enter the inner house." ”

Speaking of this, Huang Biyou said proudly: "I knew that I had made a bet with Brother Lin this time, and whoever lost would write two thousand words." ”

"Then this time in the monthly class, let's compare again." Lin Yanchao said quite seriously.

Huang Biyou's face immediately turned red when he heard this, and Yu Qingzhou said: "Brother Huang, don't be cowardly, you are the eighth in the outer house this time." ”

"Hmph, who is as knowledgeable as him." After speaking, Huang Biyou brushed his sleeves and left.

Several people heard this, and they all laughed quietly.

Yu Qingzhou looked at Lin Yanchao's determined appearance, and said in his heart, where did this kid get his confidence. But if Huang Biyou wants to bet, he doesn't have the confidence.

"It's better to be Brother Ye, stay out of the matter." Yu Ziyou said with a smile.

Ye Xianggao smiled, didn't speak, and continued to read.

Yu Ziyou saw Ye Xianggao's arrogant appearance, and immediately said to the rest of the people in the tone of a senior: "Instead of arguing about these, you should take more time to study, those disciples of the middle house and the upper house will not wait for you." ”

Of course, Brother Ye is not among them, but it is easy for you to enter the inner house. ‘

For this demon who was the first in the three exams, it was simply not difficult to enter the inner house. Under Yu Ziyou's words, everyone felt uncomfortable at the thought of being occupied like this.

Why can this person get the first place as soon as he enters the house, why does he have such good grades, this is the legendary child of other people's families, everyone will not like it.

So Yu Ziyou's words to provoke were quite successful.

Of course, Ye Xianggao heard it, and immediately snorted: "Brother Yu, I heard that after every quarterly exam, there are only one or two disciples who enter the inner house, so in this way, Brother Yu, even if you are the second in the outer house, it will not help if you are unlucky, I think you are the one who works harder than others, and besides, you may not be able to rank second in the outer house in the end." ‘

Yu Ziyou said abruptly: "Ye Xianggao, what do you mean by this?" ‘
