Chapter 629: Apprenticeship

Snow was falling outside the window. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Under the lamplight, Lin Yanchao was reading the article carefully, and while reading, the pen in his hand did not stop.

Lin Yanchao has carefully read the articles of each person who posted them, and changed them one by one.

Not only are the comments written on the article, but even the usage of sentences and even the typos of the language are all changed in the article one by one

Of course, this is also thanks to Lin Yanchao's ability to look at ten lines, otherwise how could ordinary people be like this.

Lin Yanchao wrote very quickly, and it didn't take long for him to finish writing a letter, and whether he agreed or not, he would bring out the article and post to Chen Jichuan.

In the patio outside the study, snowflakes fall on the green bricks of the well, and dozens of chairs are placed under the eaves on all sides of the patio.

Dozens of scholars wore fox furs and cotton robes, standing or sitting, and the subordinates of the Lin Mansion carried teapots and added hot tea to the tea bowls in the scholars' hands. The scholars didn't care about the hot tea in their hands, they just talked enthusiastically. Everyone is interested in learning from meritorious deeds, so most of the people present are like-minded people.

Soon Chen Jichuan walked out of the door with the article and the post. At that moment, all the scholars stopped talking.

"Jiang Yue!"

Chen Jichuan shouted, and a scholar in his twenties came to Chen Jichuan and saluted.

Chen Jichuan handed him a few words about the article and the apprenticeship post, and the scholar immediately showed a look of frustration after hearing it, and said after reading the article: "The champion is so dedicated to correcting, even if he can't get his wish, but the student is also inscribed." ”

"The master said, Brother Tai and him are just missing some fate, not others."

The two saluted again, and Jiang Yue's scholar turned to leave, and the scholar on the side hurriedly held an umbrella for him. When everyone saw each other again, the look of frustration on this person's face was much less.

Several scholars discussed: "This person is Jiang Yue of Jiaxing, I have read his article, it is good, but the craftsmanship is too heavy." ”

"Too much craftsmanship is to embellish the words. It is not a matter of emphasizing rhetoric, no matter how good the rhetoric is, can it be the right of the champion. The champion public accepts protégés, and it is by no means a scholar who only knows how to find chapters and excerpts. ”

"Yes, we are all here to seek the way of righteousness, in front of the palace gate I heard the way of work, as if I saw a new world, if I can't worship the champion, this life is a pity."

While everyone was talking, Chen Jichuan came to the patio again.

"Is Xu Wenchang here?"

A gentleman in his thirties, dressed in a coarse cotton robe, came up and bowed apprehensively.

Chen Jichuan said a few words, but saw Xu Wenchang's face showing great joy.

This kind of joy is as if Xu Wenchang has just been nominated on the list.

Everyone on the side was envious.

"The student thanked Steward Chen."

"Don't be in a hurry to thank you first, I'll talk about it after I've seen the master."

At that moment, Xu Wenchang was led by Chen Jichuan and walked to Lin Yanchao's study next to the patio.

There is a charcoal basin lit in the study, which is much warmer than the patio.

Xu Wenchang bowed to Lin Yanchao, who was correcting the article at the desk, and said: "Student Wuxi Maocai Xu Wenchang visited the champion father. ”

Lin Yanchao stopped writing, turned to Xu Wenchang and said with a smile: "I have read your article, if you want to compromise the righteousness of the world, you must study the things in the world and then correct this sentence, I have learned deeply." ”

"Xie Zhuangyuan Gong praised, the student's learning in the work is just a glimpse of the door, and I am willing to worship the poor under the Zhuangyuan Gong."

After speaking, Xu Wenchang held his protégé's posts and articles with both hands.

Lin Yanchao took the post and article from Xu Wenchang's hand, handed it to Sun Chengzong on the side, and said: "From now on, you will be registered under my disciple, but whether you can become a teacher depends on what you have learned on weekdays and your conduct." ”

Xu Wenchang was overjoyed and said, "Disciple remembers, thank you, sir." ”

The ancients generally called Mr. between teachers and students.

If the student shows further respect for the teacher, he or she can be called a teacher.

What goes further than Mr. and the teacher is to call the master, which is like a student who respects the teacher as a Confucian saint in his heart. Wang Shizhen once sarcastically said that the protégé of officialdom was called the master, but he was just an old gentleman, but when Yan Song was in power, some protégés called Yan Song a teacher, and even more so, he called Yan Song a master.

Lin Yanchao smiled and saw Xu Wenchang kowtowing very solemnly.

After that, the next person brought the tea, and Xu Wenchang solemnly brought the tea to Lin Yanchao.

Lin Yanchao drank the tea offered by the other party, glanced at the apprenticeship presented, and then left the chair to help Xu Wenchang up: "In the future, you need to study diligently, and you must not slack off." ”

In this way, the names of teachers and students are thus decided.

After Xu Wenchang walked out of the door, his face was full of joy and his face was full of joy, and many scholars were envious when they saw this scene, and they came up to congratulate him.

"Brother Xu, wait one step ahead of me!"

Xu Wenchang smiled: "It's just a fluke." ”

Everyone looked at Xu Wenchang carefully, and they didn't necessarily see how good the other party was, but there were a few patches on the inconspicuous part of his cloth robe, and they couldn't help but think that he could be appreciated by Lin Sanyuan, why can't I.

Some people also think that I heard that the famous teacher is very strict in selecting apprentices, but I think that Zhuangyuan Gong, as an imperial teacher, has a different vision from ordinary people, but I don't want to be strict in choosing apprentices.

Lin Yanchao's selection of apprentices is indeed not strict, because the standard used is wide in and strict out.

Confucianism has never said that the Tao should not be leaked and the law should not be passed on lightly. When the Confucian sages gave lectures, they always advocated that as long as you are willing to listen to my lectures, you will be my disciple, and it doesn't matter if you don't agree with me in your heart.

Some people even joke that if you teach you, it's not that I recognize you, it's just that I'm a person who loves and teaches people tirelessly.

You have studied under me, and if I want you to approve of you, you must become a teacher.

For example, Confucius taught his 3,000 disciples with poetry, calligraphy, rituals, and music, but in the end, there were only 72 people who could penetrate poetry, calligraphy, rituals, and music, and there were only 72 people who had the six arts, which was the origin of the 72 sages.

There are 3,000 disciples, and there are only 72 famous works in history.

Confucius practiced the standard of wide entry and strict exit.

Confucianism never says that a person can only worship one teacher in his life, and you can study under me, or you can be placed under someone else's door. Confucius's disciples except Yan Hui all went to listen to Shao Zhengmao's lectures, and Confucius knew that he did not restrain his disciples, saying that you are not allowed to go, and you can only choose one of the two.

In addition, the apprenticeship ceremony is also casual, and Confucianism pays attention to the courtesy, supplemented by discipline.

For example, Confucius's disciple Zhongzi Gong Fujia side, with a lot of money to fund Confucius to travel around the world, Zigong gift, Confucius did not resign. There are also scholars who are so poor that they want to worship under Confucius, Confucius said that it is okay, and they are above the self-restraint, and I have not tasted no teachings.

It is to the effect that Confucius said that I have never failed to teach a disciple who brought a bunch of dried meat to me to learn from. If Confucius recognized money but not people, students from poor backgrounds such as Yan Hui, Zilu, Bu Shang, Ran Qiu, Zhong Gong, Yuan Xian, and Bo Niu would not be able to become his disciples.

Seeing Xu Wenchang's destitute look, the scholars couldn't help but ask Xu Wenchang, how many apprenticeship gifts did you give to the champion prince.

Xu Wenchang said ashamedly: "It's just six rites." ”

The six rites of apprenticeship are celery, lotus seeds, red beans, dates, longan, and dried meat. This is the simplest etiquette of folk apprenticeship, but this only six rites can be worshiped under the door of today's emperor, Hanlin Bachelor, Sanyuan and Lin Yanchao, which is so cheap.

Most of the scholars present who did not take much responsibility for the apprenticeship ceremony were relieved.

However, some people rolled their eyes and secretly reduced the amount of the apprenticeship they carried, and even worse......

After a while, a scholar in the study saluted Lin Yanchao and said, "Honorable Yuangong, the student's family is poor and can't support him. ”

Lin Yanchao put down his pen and looked at this scholar up and down, he really didn't look very rich, and then nodded and said: "It's okay, it can be delayed for a while, but the resources of the restraint are indispensable." ”

Lin Yanchao is also a random person, if each disciple has a tribute, of course it is the best, but if there is none, it is okay, and it is okay to give dried meat.

After Lin Yanchao said this, the scholar did not have the slightest gratitude, but said as a matter of course: "The student has the ambition of Yan Hui, and also has the poverty of Yan Hui. Today's champion has the ambition of the public, but he asks for the resources of the restraint, is not forgetting his roots. Therefore, the student implored the champion to be relieved of the restraint and repaid when he was comfortable. ”

Lin Yanchao said lightly: "Yes, your shackles are not in my eyes, but the ancients did not see each other empty-handed, and it was rude to apprentice empty-handed." You'd better go back first and figure it out before you come back. ”

"Student ......"

The scholar was about to speak, but was interrupted by Chen Jichuan on the side: "The master has already spoken, and this brother is still invited first." ”

Seeing Chen Jichuan chasing away the guests, the scholar could only leave, walked to the door, and suddenly turned around angrily and said: "Zhuangyuan Gong, when the student hears the teachings of the sage, he is not seeking food, worrying about the road and not worrying about poverty, and he is as poor as Yan Hui, but the ancestor praises him very much. ”

"The disciple is willing to take Yan back to Mr., why can't the champion treat Yan back like the first teacher. I came here to think that the champion is a person of elegance and elegance, but today I see it is not Erer, if today's things are outsiders, how will the people of the world look at the champion prince? ”

Hearing this, Lin Yanchao's eyebrows moved: "Stop!" ”

The scholar thought that he had a good will, so he stopped and asked, "Champion Gong, what is your opinion?" ”

Lin Yanchao shook his head and said, "You are not Yan Huiye." I ask you how to write gongzi? ”

"One worker, one force."

Lin Yanchao said: "Yes, the word of merit is from the work, and the country is determined by labor." Powerless to speak, powerless to speak. ”

"Thou shalt not restrain thyself, but thou shalt learn from me, what is the difference between thou hast not worked for nothing? This is not the way of merit, and it is not a courtesy, so please choose another famous teacher! Of course, you can also talk to outsiders and see who the world is laughing at. ”

The gentleman was speechless.

After a pause, Lin Yanchao said again: "You are not my disciple, I didn't want to teach you this sentence, but after teaching you, you need to be compensated." ”

The scholar said: "The student is penniless, what else should the champion do?" ”

Lin Yanchao nodded and said, "It's okay to be penniless, Jichuan, throw this son out of the house for me!" ”

Chen Jichuan sneered and beckoned a few powerful subordinates to enter the house and hold the gentleman.

"This is insulting!" The gentleman cried out.

But no one paid any attention.

A moment later, Chen Jichuan clapped his hands and left, but saw that in the snow outside the gate of the Lin Mansion, the scholar fell on top of all fours.
