After the three of them know their names, the other five also open their mouths.

"In Xia Gutian Yu Ziyou, the three classmates are fortunate to meet, fortunate to meet." A young and old classmate.

"Fortunately." Lin Yanchao, Ye Xianggao, and Chen Wencai bowed their hands.

One person said: "In the Xia Lian Pu Lin Biqing, I am fortunate to meet." ”

This person should be a local Lin family's son.

"Houguan Huang Biyou, I am glad to meet you."

"Jiadeng Zhu Xiangwen, fortunately."

"Pucheng is in the light boat, fortunately."

One after another, everyone passed their names.

Yu Ziyou opened his mouth and said, "Well, the three of you sleep on the bunk over there, get a new straw mat, and put all the luggage there!" ”

Hearing Yu Ziyou make such a comparison, Lin Yanchao and Chen Wencai both showed a trace of displeasure.

Ye Xianggao said: "Brother Yu, please forgive me for being blunt, this place is near the west, there is the west sun, and it is very hot in summer." ”

Yu Ziyou raised his face and said: "I have been studying in the academy for three years, and I am the oldest, so I will assign it in the number house." If you are not satisfied, you can talk to the mountain chief and the monk. ”

Chen Wencai hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded: "Brother Ye, come first and come later, we just came, I slept in the westernmost place." ”

Yu Ziyou's face softened a little and said: "This is like the words, we are old students, and you have to respect your predecessors." ”

The three of them didn't say anything, and each packed up his luggage. There are no wardrobes or bookcases in the building.

Lin Yanchao laid out the straw mat first, and could only fold the books and clothes on the other end of the straw mat first. The personal belongings are placed on the side facing north against the wall, and they sleep on the top of their heads at night, and their bodies are lying on the bunk facing south and their feet facing north. In general, it is much worse than sleeping in a university dormitory, people have to sleep side by side, and if you turn around, the other party's feet can smoke you to death. Don't think that a reader is much cleaner.

Sleeping on both sides of Lin Yanchao were Ye Xianggao and Yu Qingzhou from Pucheng.

On the side, Lin Yanchao was in order, and on the other side, Yu Qingzhou said to Lin Yanchao: "Brother Lin, I am a villain first and then a gentleman, I have always been clean, and I don't like others to touch my bed and things, you move over a little, and you will pay more attention to it in the future." ”

Lin Yanchao smiled and said, "Okay! ”

"Thank you, Brother Lin." Yu Qingzhou saw that Lin Yanchao was not annoyed at all, and breathed a sigh of relief, but he felt a little guilty and embarrassed.

"Alright, it's time to turn off the lights." Yu Zi lobbied, and immediately opened the lampshade and blew out the lamp.

When it was darkened, there was a sound of Suo Suo from the house.

Lin Yanchao lay on the bed, pillowed his hand and whispered, "Brother Ye? ”

"What's the matter, Brother Lin?"

"Dare to ask you the word Xiang Gao, is it Xiang Yu's Xiang or Xiang Xiang's back."

"Back to the back."

"Well, Brother Ye is from Fuqing County?"

"Not bad."

Well, Lin Yanchao closed his eyes and thought to himself that the person beside him, Eight Achievements is Ye Xianggao, who has been in the cabinet twice in history and has been alone for thirteen years.

Ye Xianggao asked, "Does Brother Mo Feilin know you, or is it an elder in the family?" ”

Lin Yanchao said: "Brother Ye, I misunderstood, your name is good." Go high, go high, study hard, and get high every day! ”

Ye Xianggao also said: "When my grandfather gave me this name, he also had this intention. ”

"Okay, don't eat, don't sleep, don't speak." Yu Ziyou's words came from the other side.

Ye Xianggao snorted lightly.

"Brother Ye, we are new to the city, so we should not come out to avoid being targeted by the public."

"Thank you Brother Lin for persuading me, I have a sense of proportion."

Hearing Ye Xianggao's promise, Lin Yanchao stopped talking, closed his eyes, and fell asleep after a while.

At dawn the next day, Lin Yanchao sorted out the quilt and was still washing, when the outside Zhaifu said: "Lin Yanchao, Ye Xianggao, Chen Wencai, today you have to bow to the mountain chief and Lang Xing, and go to the West School first." ”

Lin Yanchao and the three of them didn't dare to slack off after hearing this, and hurriedly rushed to the West School.

The mountain chief Lin Yin is a kind old man with the style of an elder.

Lin Yin led the three disciples first, first worshiped Confucius and Zhuzi, and then the three of them bowed to the two of them and bowed to the teacher.

After bowing to the head, according to the rules, send the teacher six salutes, celery, which means diligent and studious; lotus seed, which means painstaking education; Red beans, which means red luck and high light; Jujube, which means early and high school; Longan, which means the consummation of merit; Dried lean pork strips are used to express the hearts of disciples.

Then the head of the academy said that Lang Xiang Lin Yanchao, Ye Xianggao, and Chen Wencai each gave a piece of sugar and green onions. Sugar is sticky, which means reading with peace of mind; The green onion is close to the congyin, the green onion is straight in the middle, the metaphor is knowledgeable, and the person is upright.

After completing the apprenticeship in this way, Lin Yin immediately talked to them about the truth of reading and being a man.

Not to mention the four words of respecting the teacher, it is just that the other party is from a person's background, and the fifth place in the Jiajing ten-year township test, since it is the most common words, Lin Yanchao and others are also listening.

After Lin Yin said some encouraging words, he gently asked the three of them, "Why are you studying?" ”

The three of them glanced at each other, and Lin Yin pointed at Chen Wencai and said, "You talk first." ”

Chen Wencai straightened his clothes, raised his right hand upward, his eyes were level with his fingertips, and said loudly: "Establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, continue to learn for the saints, and open peace for all generations!" ”

Chen Wencai was a little funny, but Lin Yanchao didn't have any funny looks when he saw everyone.

Lin Yin nodded and said, "It's Mr. Hengqu's famous words." "Mr. Hengqu is a famous Confucian Zhang Zai in the Northern Song Dynasty, and these four sentences of Hengqu are his well-known words.

"What about you?" Lin Yin nodded, Ye Xianggao.

Ye Xiangbi said respectfully: "Follow the right path and keep the righteousness, benevolence and righteousness." ”

Lin Yin smiled and said, "However, Mr. Lianxi is worthy of Mr. Guishan's beauty." Lin Yanchao knew that Mr. Lian Xi was Zhou Dunyi, and in addition to Zhou Dunyi's article on Ailian's fame all over the world, the most important thing was to create Cheng Zhu Lixue, follow the right path, and keep the righteousness, benevolence and righteousness is his proposition.

Ye Xianggao arched his hand and said, "My father often mentions the mountain chief in front of me. ”

"Good. Good. Lin Yin smiled.

"What about you? That's right, Lin Yanchao. Lin Yin looked at Lin Yanchao. Lin Yanchao seemed to notice that there seemed to be a bit of inquiry in the other party's gaze.

Lin Yanchao thought for a while, gave up a few blockbuster answers, and instead used a decent answer: "Mr. is learning, but the poor are good alone, and the good will help the world." ”

As soon as these words came out, the people present looked at each other.

Lin Liao hurriedly said: "Mountain Chief, this son is a newcomer to ......."

Lin Yin shook his hand, coughed a few times and said with a smile: "I don't know, what's more, what he said is the words of Mencius, the Taoist system of Confucianism, which is inherited by Mr. Lianxi, Mingdao, and Mr. Yichuan Er." ”

Lin Yin coughed violently a few more times, and Lin Liao brought him a cup of tea and drank it.

Lin Yin said: "The old problem is committed again, our academy is the place where Zhu Zi lectures, inheriting the Confucian Taoist system, not reading the books of the Five Classics, Confucius and Mencius, and not reading the studies of Lian, Luo, Guan and Fujian." Remember. ”

"Yes."

Lin Yanchao suddenly realized, it turned out that the mountain chief just asked you why you are studying, and he didn't answer casually, but had a set of regulations.

Lianjiang Academy was the place where Zhu Xi gave lectures, and of course it was science that was preached. Therefore, Lin Yincai said that non-Lian Xue (Zhou Dunyi), Luo Xue (Ercheng), Guan Xue (Zhang Zai), and Min Xue (Zhu Xi) do not speak, but regard the popular Wang Xue as the last stream.

But science is good, science is a prominent science, but also an official science, a stepping stone to fame. Although Lin Yanchao respected Wang Yangming, Wang Xue had no choice but to help him reach the first place in the imperial examination.

At the end of the apprenticeship ceremony, Saifu led the three out of the study house and explained the rules and regulations of the academy: "Our academy is divided into outer houses, inner houses, upper houses, and other newcomers are all outside students, and they study in the outer house, and the students from outside the house are not given silver, and if they make progress in their studies, they will be promoted to the inner house; The students in the inner class will be anointed with three dollars of fire silver per month, and the students in the inner house will make progress in their studies and be promoted to the upper house, and they will be paid five dollars of fire silver per month for the students in the class. ”

Lin Yanchao couldn't help but sigh, it turned out that the fast and slow classes and the scholarship system had been in place so early. At that time, famous academies such as Lianjiang Academy had government grants, and the income from the student fields did not depend on the constraints of the disciples.

Lin Yanchao looked at Ye Xianggao and Chen Wencai, obviously he had known it for a long time, but he was lagging behind.

Saifu continued: "In addition, in the college, the Shuowang class, the teacher's class is examined once every half month, and the questions are written by the mountain chief, and the monthly class is examined once a month, and the questions are taught by the county school and the government school; Official classes, quarterly classes are examined four times a year, and the questions are issued by the county, the prefect, and the academic administration, and the seats are set in Ding'er. I will not share the rest with you, but after a long time I will know for myself. ”

After Zhaifu left, Chen Wencai said: "In the quarterly class, the prefect of the county, the prefect, and the academic administration took the exam for the school, this academy is too generous." ”

Ye Xianggao said: "This is not good, we don't need to go to the county exam, the government exam, and the hospital exam, we also know the number of questions of the examiner, but unfortunately there is too little lesson in one quarter." ”

"Brother Lin, what do you think? By the way, Brother Lin doesn't seem to know anything about the academy, didn't the teacher mention it to you before? ”

This is the congenital gap of the poor family, at least on the road of relationships, it is inferior to the children of officials and eunuchs and the children of businessmen.

Lin Yanchao spread his hands and said: "The teacher didn't mention it, so I still want Brother Ye and Brother Chen to ask for more advice." ”

Ye Xianggao and Chen Wencai said modestly: "Brother Lin, don't dare." ”
