Chapter 43: The Boy in Drag
It is a long-standing tradition that the Chinese respect the teacher, and the Zhou Dynasty had the ceremony of honoring the teacher, and today there is a complete set of rituals for worshipping the teacher.
Zhu Ping'an's apprenticeship ceremony was carried out in the private school, and Zhu's father, Chen's family, and the eldest aunt who sent Brother Jun to school watched the whole process, watching Zhu Ping'an kneel, worship, serve tea, and answer under the guidance of Master Sun.
"Reading is expensive to be diligent, don't forget to be diligent when you enter the door, the lights are on the third watch and the fifth watch is the time when the boy is studying. If you dare to slack off, the ruler in the master's hand will not spare you. ”
After the apprenticeship, Sun Lao Xiucai admonished.
"Obey the teacher's orders." Zhu Ping'an bent down and said respectfully.
Sun Laoxiu nodded with satisfaction, and then took a set of half-new four treasures of the study from the desk and gave it to Zhu Ping'an, "This set of four treasures of the study was used in my early years, and today I will give it to you, don't let me down." ”
Unfettered cultivation was already very taken care of, and then gave the four treasures of the study, Zhu Ping'an was a little embarrassed to accept it.
"Elder gives." Sun Laoxiu stretched his face.
The elders gave it, and they didn't dare to resign.
Zhu Ping'an had no choice but to accept it, and bent down again to thank Sun Lao Xiucai. Sun Laoxiu waved his hand indifferently, and advised Zhu Ping'an to make good use of this set of four treasures of the study, be diligent and studious, and not let himself down.
After the apprenticeship was completed, Zhu's father and Chen's father came over to express their gratitude to Master Sun, Chen's grateful eyes were red, and Zhu's father was not good at expressing his gratitude and pushed forward a basket of things he had brought.
After Sun Laoxiu saw the things brought by Zhu's father, he asked Zhu Ping'an, "I asked you to tell your family yesterday that you would not restrain your cultivation, but you forgot to tell me?" ”
Zhu Ping'an shook his head again and again.
Chen Shi answered, "The master is kind enough to accept Yu'er for free, our family is very grateful, this is a little bit of our heart, it is not worth a few dollars, it is all picked by his father in the mountains." ”
Sun Laoxiu resigned, but Chen and Zhu's father insisted, so Sun Laoxiu had no choice but to accept it. Of course, Father Zhu and the Chen family will send it to Sun Lao Xiucai's house, otherwise Sun Lao Xiucai may not be able to get it home, this basket is quite heavy.
The eldest aunt didn't confirm until now that it was really Zhu Ping'an, who was received by his grandson for free, and she was jealous in her heart. Of course, after returning home, the eldest aunt also told the little fourth aunt the bad news, and the little fourth aunt with a crow's mouth also stayed for a long time before saying something like "Hello has gone shit luck", which makes the eldest aunt have some psychological balance.
After the apprenticeship was completed, Zhu's father, Chen's family and the eldest aunt also went down the mountain, and they couldn't prevent Sun Laoxiu from teaching.
Successfully entering a private school, Zhu Ping'an really took his first step in this era, although this is only a small step, but it is a key step. If you don't enter the school, how can you make a storm in this dynasty where the imperial examination is in power, with the teachings of the master, even if you are smarter and different from ordinary people, you won't say anything, because you are a scholar. There is Yan Ruyu in the book, and there is a golden house in the book. Xiucai knows the world without going out, everything is unusual, and people will boil it down to reading.
"My name is Li Xiaobao, what's your name?"
Zhu Ping'an's table is a very cute little fat paper, much fatter than himself, this little fat paper is very kind, take the initiative to greet himself, maybe he can be regarded as a little fat paper, and he is very affectionate to himself.
"My name is Zhu Ping'an." Zhu Ping'an replied while placing his things on the table.
The little fat man took the initiative to help grind the ink, and the little fat paws creaked.
"Brother Yan, you also came to accompany me, and tell you that the master is fierce." Zhu Pingjun was just in front of Zhu Ping'an, turned his head to complain to Zhu Ping'an, twisted his head and two snots came out of his nostrils, and then was sucked in by the owner again.
In class, the Master spoke about the Three-Character Sutra and then the Thousand Character Scripture. Most of the children in the classroom are basically confused, saying that they have learned too much and cannot remember. But this problem is not a problem at all for Zhu Ping'an. He knew most of the traditional characters, but it was just a matter of writing habits and brush practice.
After the master finished the lecture, he led the children to shake their heads and recite, following the local customs, Zhu Ping'an also followed the children to shake their heads and recite, the only feeling was that they were dizzy, I really don't know how these children did it.
Sun Fuzi was still more concerned about Zhu Ping'an, a backward scholar, and after reciting for a while, he asked Zhu Ping'an to read by name. Although it is recitation, not recitation, but because Zhu Ping'an has no textbooks, and the master's classroom is strictly controlled, Zhu Pingjun and the little fat man Li Xiaobao do not dare to give their textbooks to Zhu Ping'an, so most of the children think that Zhu Ping'an will be beaten.
However, to their disappointment, after Zhu Ping'an got up, he pronounced the words clearly, and recited the three-character scripture and the thousand-character text smoothly from the beginning to the place where this class was taught.
Sun Laoxiu only thought of the problem that Zhu Ping'an did not have a textbook after the roll call just now, and when he was about to ask Zhu Ping'an's tablemate to borrow the textbook to Zhu Ping'an temporarily, Zhu Ping'an had already gotten up to recite it. This made Sun Lao Xiucai very surprised, and he vaguely felt that this son would be extraordinary in the future, and he was more attentive to Zhu Ping'an's education.
The private school is a small society, and the master went to the grass hall behind the private school to rest after class, and the school immediately became a pot of porridge, and the children were divided into several small groups according to the distance between relatives and relatives, chasing each other and fighting.
Zhu Ping'an felt a slight pain in his lower abdomen after class, so he went to the toilet of the private school, saying that the toilet was actually a small place surrounded by a fence in a remote corner, with only one pit. Resources are tight, and if there are more people, you have to queue up, and when Zhu Ping'an passed, there was already a person in line.
When it was Zhu Ping'an's turn, Zhu Ping'an was just about to go in, and a well-dressed boy about eight years old walked behind him, looking like he had money to drag.
"You let me go first, I'm in a hurry."
The little boy was very dragged, with no one in his eyes, and directly reached out to pull Zhu Ping'an's clothes.
Zhu Ping'an turned his head and replied calmly, "You're not my, how do you know it's not in a hurry?" ”
"You, you wait!" The little boy who dragged him didn't seem to have encountered a similar situation, his face turned red, he left a word, and walked away angrily.
Zhu Ping'an didn't take the words of this dragged little kid seriously at all, opened the wooden door of the toilet, walked in, and comfortably solved the next major life event.
Well, go to the river to wash your hands, and by the way, see if the black-bellied little Lori Li Shu is here, I promised her to tell her a story yesterday. The recess is a bit long, almost an hour, because from about 9 a.m. to about 4 p.m., there are two classes, so the recess is longer, and students can eat something and play and rest. In this way, the second lesson will not be depleted.
