Just when Qin Lao thought that he probably had some talent, and felt sorry for his poor behavior as a person who had entered the family of wealthy merchants, Ning Yi had already entered Yushan Academy in the early morning sunlight and began to prepare for the whole morning to accompany a group of children to learn the Analects.

Yushan Academy is not opened in a place called Yushan, this is a private school run by the Su family, of course, it will also accept outsiders who have a little relationship, but the school is not big, mainly because there are not many people who come to learn, and Yushan is the name of a mountain in Su's hometown.

Yushan Academy is open on a street not far from Su's mansion, not a street with dense shops, so the environment is quite quiet, surrounded by gray tiles and white walls, a small bamboo forest, please hang up the sign of "Yushan Academy" written by a great Confucian, there is still a bit of bookish atmosphere.

At present, the academy has a total of forty-nine students, seven teachers, including Su Chonghua, the head of the academy, in terms of proportion, the number of teachers can be described as strong, Su Chonghua himself is the Su family, in the early years, he has been an official for a few years, but unfortunately he has not made much achievements, and there are even rumors that he has committed crimes, and there are two old men who have been hired with high salaries and have experience as officials. In addition to teachers and students, there are also cooks, handymen and other subordinates.

The Su family has spent a lot of effort on this academy, but unfortunately, either these teachers are not very reliable, or these students happen to be unqualified, the academy has not produced any results, and some of the students trained before have probably entered the Su family's shops after finding that the imperial examination is hopeless, so the nature of this academy looks more like a technical academy. If there are really people in the family who let their children take the path of becoming officials in the imperial examination, then most of them will let their children transfer to better colleges before the age of twelve.

Ning Yi has been teaching here for three days, Su Chonghua treats him well, and he will not make things difficult for him because he is a rich identity, there is no need to do such boring things after working hard in society for a long time. Considering that Ning Yi didn't really have much talent to learn—everyone said so—he was asked to teach more than a dozen children who had just started his education, a group of sixteen children, aged between six and twelve, and there were even two little girls with braided hair, all of whom were relatives of the Su family, so that they could read and write. After the previous teacher finished teaching the Book of Filial Piety, he began to teach the Analects, Ning Yi taught them a fixed morning every day, and a little more relaxed in the afternoon, etiquette, music, archery, royalty, arithmetic, etc., mainly arithmetic, and the rest all depended on the teacher's mood and ability.

If it is in a better and more formal school, these things will be more standardized and more refined, but Yushan Academy obviously does not have this condition. As far as Ning Yi is concerned, teaching the Analects is actually quite simple, although he can't memorize the Analects or say where a certain sentence is, but if he only asks to read and give a simple explanation, it is really a very easy thing, and any modern person with a high school education may be able to give a plausible explanation of the Analects, of course, in the vernacular.

Although in ancient times, the study of the Four Books and Five Classics of the real Great Confucianism was still quite profound, and the ones that were profound were particularly profound, perhaps the ancient texts written by a famous prostitute could make modern professors embarrassed. However, most readers do not have the opportunity to receive too advanced education, they may not even find a copy of Mencius after reading the Analects, but the minimum standard of teachers is very simple, to put it bluntly, just teach people to read and write, Ning Yi's predecessor is like this, he taught a group of children to shake their heads and read, and they will do the most basic explanation of the meaning of the text, and after a while, students are required to strictly memorize or write a paragraph silently, which is the exam, and if you can't get out, you can beat the board.

It's easy! Ning Yi didn't plan to revise too much, an hour ago, he asked a group of students to shake their heads and recite the Analects - in fact, reading for two hours without stopping made Ning Yi feel very painful, but anyway, these children are used to it, and in the next two hours, Ning Yi used the first half to explain the content of an article, and then talked casually, telling some stories and telling some facts, which can be regarded as relaxing for these children.

These kids are very teachable. Although it was only three days, Ning Yi could already clearly feel the feeling of being the only teacher in the classroom, the current group of children has no personality at all, and the children who don't play personality are the cutest, they cherish the opportunity to read, they are not naughty and not second, and you take it for granted that you beat the children's buttocks and swelled them when something happens, it is simply a teacher's paradise, Ning Yi taught very comfortably, but for only three days, every day to tell some scriptures and tell some stories, these children are very satisfied, and tell these things, Ning Yi didn't even need to prepare a lesson plan or anything, he just walked as he pleased. On this day, he began to explain the paragraph in the Analects about "wealth and nobility are what people ......want", from the method of obtaining wealth to the way of business, mixed with some sayings and explanations such as "a gentleman loves money and takes it in the way". Ning Yi did this in his last life, no matter the ancient texts, if he simply wanted to express a piece of emotion, it was enough to scoop it up to a modern university to give lectures to doctoral students. But in front of him was a group of children less than twelve years old, and he didn't say much about a few casual words, just gave a few small examples to make a joke, and then talked about the six boats of the Puyuan Poetry Club, and then talked about the battle of Chibi, and began to tell a group of children the story of Chibi.

The story about the Three Kingdoms in these years is mainly Chen Ji's "Three Kingdoms", Ning Yi has not read it, it is about the routine of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, modern and through the polishing of various literary and artistic works, it is full of interest and yy, from Cao Cao's 800,000 army to Zhou Yu's fight against the yellow cover, serial boats, grass boats borrow arrows, a group of children who have not heard many stories on weekdays are full of red faces, excited, and speak from time to time: "Sir, sir, what next......" The children quieted down halfway through, Because the mountain chief Su Chonghua was walking to the side of the classroom, standing there expressionlessly with his hands behind his back, but even so, he couldn't change the excited look on the faces of the children.

Since Ning Yi had already spoken about it, he naturally wouldn't be distracted by this little thing, and continued to talk all the way, until it was close to noon before he finished talking about burning the serial boat, Su Chonghua had been standing outside and listening, and it was difficult to tell what kind of expression he was. After Ning Yi finished the story, he wrote his favorite song Du Mu's "Red Cliff" on the sand table:

The halberd sinks into the sand and the iron is not sold, and it will be washed and recognized by the previous dynasty.

Dongfeng does not have a relationship with Zhou Lang, and Tongque Chun locks Er Qiao.

There is no blackboard in teaching, and it is very inconvenient to write things, Ning Yi now has a little love for the teacher's career, and while writing, he thinks that he should "invent" a whiteboard or something, scooping charcoal pen to write is also better than the sand table, and after he finished writing, a group of students were busy copying on paper. Walking out of the door, Su Chonghua greeted him, and a smile appeared on his expressionless face.

"Virtuous nephew Gaocai, he has an in-depth study of the history of the Three Kingdoms, Wei and Jin, Fang Cai's story, I think it is taken from Chen Ji's Three Kingdoms, right?"

If Qin Lao was here, he would have to scold Ning Yi for a few words, saying that he was talking nonsense and misleading people's children and so on. In fact, how can the real Three Kingdoms be so exciting, such as the section on the grass boat borrowing arrows, in fact, Sun Quan drove the boat out and was shot by arrows, and there were too many arrows on one side of the hull, and it almost capsized, so Sun Quan ordered the boat to turn around and use the other side to bear the arrows, so that the hull of the ship was balanced and went away. Ning Yi has only watched the TV series of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms or something, and Su Chonghua has never watched the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, so he listened to the story that Ning Yi said as a storyteller in the back, and he enjoyed listening to it.

However, after a few words of praise, I also mentioned it sideways, don't be so polite to these students. If Ning Yi was already an old scholar in his fifties and sixties at this time, the other party probably wouldn't say this, but he looked like he was only in his early twenties at the moment, and there were few hairs on his mouth, so he needed to be strict with these children. Ning Yi nodded and was taught, humble and respectful, and turned his head as if he hadn't heard it.

Su Chonghua then invited him to lunch at the College. Generally speaking, ordinary small households eat two meals a day, and some can't afford to eat two meals, but the Su family has a strong background, so they still add an extra lunch, but it is not formal, and sometimes they also use pastries instead of tillers. Ning Yiwan declined the other party's invitation, went all the way home and changed her clothes, and then scooped it to Xiaochan, ready to wash it and return it to Qin Lao, but she didn't tell her about falling into the river, lest she make a fuss and find a bunch of medicine for herself. In the past few days that Ning Yi has been in class in the academy, Xiaochan has not followed him all the time, and she has time to deal with other things in the morning.

In the afternoon, he went to the Qinhuai River to play chess. In fact, Qin Lao is also a strange person, Ning Yi used to think that he had mostly been an official, and when he went to the other party's house this morning, he was even more sure of this cognition, many styles of furnishings in the house could not be had by ordinary people, coupled with conversation and vision, it was really strange that such a person would actually go to the river every day to set up a chess stall.

When I came over today, there was already another old man playing chess with Qin Lao here, the old man's surname was Kang, he was the same age as Qin Lao, his family was well-off, the old lady was a faction, he went out dressed in gold, and took two small servants and two maids to open the way, this guy looked stern and had a mean mouth, but his chess strength was very high. Every time I saw Ning Yi criticizing his chess move as "simply obscene", "without the style of a gentleman", "how can you be so stubborn", "hateful junior", as soon as he turned his head, he absorbed this chess move, and after a slight modification, he fought with Qin Lao, in fact, Qin Lao's number of paragraphs was higher than him, and he changed it to no fireworks after absorbing a new idea. , Ning Yi has also seen a lot of people here, ordinary people, children who have not received much education, or people who have received some education but are still rigid in their thinking, to say that they are pedantic or generous, their vision and way of thinking are indeed not as flexible as modern people, but when they reach the top level, they are not worse than modern people. For example, Qin Lao, he didn't say anything verbally, but in his heart he was naturally digesting what he felt was novel, thinking about the ideas and principles, this old man surnamed Kang was full of courtesy, righteousness, shame, benevolence, righteousness and morality, but he was still ruthless when he really played chess, and he didn't inhibit everything, of course, if it weren't for Ning Yi and Qin Lao, he might not be able to see where he was ruthless, he was just worse than Qin Lao, and he was still much higher than ordinary people.

Qin Lao and several chess friends have been studying Ning Yi's chess moves recently, after all, they suddenly saw these novel moves, and there is still value in research. Ning Yi didn't have much of a humble idea of the old man, sometimes he didn't bare at the old man with his beard, and sometimes he said a few words to him: "You old man says one thing and does another, you are not a good person." "If you dare to play this move, you can play it!" Go down and give it a try! On weekdays, there are probably no juniors who dare to talk back to this Kang Lao, the two had a small quarrel at the chess stall, Qin Lao laughed next to him for a while, if Kang Lao played against him, he said, "Liheng is reasonable", if the opponent is Ning Yi, he will help to denounce Ning Yi's chess hand is too unfair.

But even if they quarreled, there was nothing to be malicious towards each other, Kang Lao did train Ning Yi as an ignorant junior at first, and then he also understood that this guy was indeed a person who could be used as an opponent, and the other party naturally did not put himself in the position of a junior. In any case, after this Kang Lao came over, there was always a pot of good tea to bring, and he asked his subordinates to bring their own tea sets, tea leaves, and water, and the maid brewed it on the table of the tea stall next to him. Ning Yi was not polite in the past, scooped up a cup by himself, moved a stool to sit on the chessboard, and took a sip of tea after a while: "Oh, Kang Lao is going to lose." ”

&nbs

p; The old man was calculating chess in his heart, and raised his eyebrows: "You hairless boy knows what to win or lose, and you dare to say such things when you drink the old man's tea...... Hmph, the old man has a clever trick......"

He raised his hand to drop it, Ning Yi coughed lightly, and the old man's hand immediately stopped, looked at it suspiciously, and then withdrew it. Ning Yi took another sip of tea: "This cup of tea is worth so much...... Well, what kind of tea is this? ”

"The lonely and unheard boy is really a tyrannical thing, have you ever heard of purple bamboo shoots?"

Qin Lao was also tasting tea over there, and said with a smile: "Gu Zhu purple bamboo shoots, good tea, but it's a pity to cook it on the street at this time, I knew that he brought this tea over today, and this game of chess should be played at home." ”

That Kang Lao didn't care, at this time he finally thought about it, and stretched out his hand to drop the chess pieces: "Tea is used to drink, everyone is in the thick of chess, and they are like-minded, so they drink this tea together, which is the most important thing." Tea is just a dead thing, born to please you and me, you and I think it is worthy of the mouth, it is valuable, what a pity. ”

"Kang Lao is quite arrogant when he says this, like a big man."

"What a big man, old man ......"

"This old man, you lost."

"Uh......"

Ning Yi patted him on the shoulder and stood up with a smile, at this time, the scenery by the Qinhuai River was pleasant, he walked away with a teacup, and Qin Lao behind him was already smiling, and Kang Lao said: "How can it be so ......?"

"Ha Luha, I originally saw that Ming Gong brought good tea today, I wanted to confuse a few hands and secretly let go of a game, but these words are awe-inspiring, gentlemen intersect, it should be like this, the old man doesn't want to be hypocritical, Ha Lu Ha Ha ......"

Kang Lao was obviously dissatisfied with the fact that he brought tea and lost again, but he lost horizontally and vertically, and he still recognized it, so he called Ning Yi over and everyone did a review of this game of chess, and then Kang Lao and Qin Lao played. During this period, Qin Lao talked about the funny story of Ning Yi falling into the river in the morning to save people, and Ning Yi was inevitably ridiculed by Kang Lao gloatingly, and then listened to the two old men talk about the recent invasion of the Liao people in the north.

The sun was still bright at the end of autumn, but the wind blew on the Qinhuai River in the afternoon, and after this game of chess, it was not early, and everyone went home.

Because the wind blew for half an afternoon that afternoon, when he got up the next morning, Ning Yi felt a little groggy in his head, and he didn't know if he had a cold. \);
