Next to the lotus pond under the cliff of Houshan, Lin Jue told his experience indignantly, and Fang Huanqiu, who was listening, covered his mouth with his hand, tilted his head to the side, and tried to endure a smile. However, all this was in vain, Fang Huanqiu finally couldn't hold it back, and his body shook with a smiling head.

Lin Jue took a bite of the sugar cake fiercely, and said fiercely: "You still laugh at me, sir, this is deliberately making things difficult for me." I don't know if Mr. has come back, I want to find him a theory. ”

Fang Huanqiu couldn't breathe with a smile, and finally let herself hold back her laughter, and said with a red face: "Right...... Sorry. The little sister couldn't hold back for a while. Daddy had dinner at the college at noon, and the college started classes today, so he had something to discuss. You're afraid you won't be able to wait for him. You drink some soup and let you eat with us, but you don't want to. Wouldn't you choke on the sugar cake just by eating it? ”

Lin Jue picked up the clay pot in front of him and took a big sip of fish soup. The delicious taste also makes the mood a lot better.

"Don't blame Daddy. I heard my father say that Mr. Xue is a very capable person. Have you heard about him? ”

Lin Jue shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of it, how can Mr. Xue be capable?" I'd like to hear about it. ”

Fang Huanqiu sat on his knees, his hand on his cheeks and his head turned sideways to watch Lin Jue eat, and said: "I heard my father say, this Mr. Xue is very powerful, when he was taking the imperial examination, he wrote an article called "Treatise on Punishment and Reward for Loyalty" in the court, which attracted onlookers from the main examination, and even the saint had to go to see it, and he praised it. After he passed the imperial examination, Turn's allowed him to remain in the center as an official. But who would have thought that other people's officials are getting bigger and bigger, but his officials are getting smaller and smaller, because he often confronts Shangguan and never compromises. And he dared to say anything, and he was not afraid of anyone, and in the end he was demoted out of the capital and became a county magistrate. Later, he had a conflict with the official in the county order, and finally resigned in anger. When his father came to the college, he invited him to teach students at the college, but he was already poor at that time, but he still refused to give in. Daddy tried everything to persuade him, and he agreed. ”

Lin Jue's mouth opened slightly: "Is it the "Theory of Punishment and Reward for Loyalty" that he dedicated?" ”

"What? Do you know this article? ”

"There is a "Brief History of the National Dynasty", which is a matter under the rule of the first emperor. I still remember those words. 'Yao, Shun, Yu, Tang, Wen, Wu, Cheng, Kang, how deep love for the people, worry about the people, and treat the world as a gentleman and an elder! There is a goodness, so as to appreciate it, and thus sing and sigh it, so enjoy the beginning and the end. If there is a bad thing, it will be punished, and then it will be punished and punished, so it will abandon the old and open up the new. Therefore, the voice of Yu and the joy of rejoicing are seen in the book of Yu Xia Shang Zhou. ’”

Lin Jue opened his mouth and recited it eloquently, he really memorized the whole article by heart, because this is an exam-taking article, which is quite valuable for reference. This incident was recorded in "A Brief History of the National Dynasty", but Xue Qian's name was omitted, and only Xue Mou, the son of Henan, Lin Jueyan could know that it was Xue Qian who wrote this article.

"You're so good, I'll recite it when I say this, no wonder you can write such a good article, I'm afraid your stomach is full of books." Fang Huanqiu exclaimed.

"In the stomach? It was all sugar cakes and fish soup, and I was full. Since this treatise on punishment and loyalty was written by Mr. Xue, then I have to discuss it with him. Hehe, I'm going to make him unable to get off the stage to quench the hatred in my heart. Senior sister, I went back to the academy, you go and tell my wife, I will take the time to help her build a house in a few days, I am afraid that I will not have time in these days. ”

"Is this gone?" Fang Huanqiu was a little reluctant. Since the last time he came back from Lin Jue's small courtyard, Fang Huanqiu has been looking forward to the day when Lin Jue comes to the academy. Who knew that after waiting for more than half a month, Lin Jue didn't come up the mountain, and she wandered alone in front of the gate of the academy I don't know how many times. After meeting at this moment, Lin Jue was about to leave again without saying a few words.

How did she know what had happened to Lin Jue in the past half a month. The court training was beaten with ten boards, and the skin of the beating was open. and then limped to devise revenge, how could he think of her as a little girl.

Lin Jue saw Fang Huanqiu's disappointment, so he sat down again and said with a smile: "Aren't I afraid that Mr. Xue will make trouble?" You know what? He said today that each of the six arts of scholars must be the first in the second hall of the first word, otherwise he will be severely punished. How can you punish them severely? Running laps on the field with a wooden bench, shouting that he was embarrassed and incompetent while running. I don't want to be punished like this by him. That's why I read seriously. But don't worry, I'll come to see you every day. I asked Lu Wu to go to the street to buy mooncakes today, and I'll bring them to you to eat during the Mid-Autumn Festival in a few days. ”

Fang Huanqiu shook his head and said, "I don't eat moon cakes, I just want to be able to talk to you." ”

Lin Jue smiled: "In that case, I invite you to watch the Oiran Contest in the Mid-Autumn Festival in August." ”

Fang Huanqiu said happily: "Really? But you've got to convince my mom and dad. My mother refused to let me go, she was worried about the last time for a long time, and she talked about it for a long time. Daddy must go, because he is one of the judges of the Oiran Contest, and he must be there, but he will not take me there. ”

Lin Jue smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will persuade Mr. to agree." ”

"What if they don't agree?" Fang Huanqiu frowned.

Lin Jue blinked and said, "Then I'll take you down the mountain secretly and leave a note for them." It's a big deal that I'll spend a few more jars of good wine afterwards, help your mother work more, and let them be angry. In short, what I promised you will be done. ”

"Isn't that a private ...... Private ......" Fang Huanqiu almost said that word.

Lin Jue smiled and said: "That's not, it's not selfish, it's a blatant escape down the mountain, and it's bright." Hahaha. ”

Fang Huanqiu said in his heart: "It's interesting to openly escape down the mountain, but it's a pity that it's not elopement, otherwise it's more fun." Oops, how do I keep thinking about this nonsense, I really shouldn't be, how can I do this. ”

The girl's face was red, her ears were red, and her body was sweating, but fortunately, Lin Jue, who had already gotten up and left, didn't know anything.

……

The next few days were peaceful, the life of the academy was originally boring, but Lin Jue's life was not boring at all. Because the second hall of the first word he is in is not a boring study hall in the first place. Although there were only more than 20 students, under Xue Qian, these more than 20 people became neurotic. When reading, you must read aloud, if there is no one around, you must fight for the first place when answering questions. From time to time, I would be dragged to the college grounds to run two laps collectively, shouting as I ran: "I am the best, I am the best!" Shameful slogans.

In short, the wonderful Xue Qian forced his students to become strange one by one, or the laughing stock of the entire academy.

In such an atmosphere, is Lin Jue's life still boring? Every day, there are infinite jokes and fun among the neuropathy students in Jiazi Ertang, not to mention that Lin Jue's life is more than that.

Not to mention that you can go to Fang Dunru for a few hours every day, and you can discuss some issues with Fang Dunru when you help Fang Dunru polish ink and copy books. And you can meet with Fang Huanqiu, the young lady of the Fang family, every day, say a few words that are not salty or light, and occasionally speak out of line, which is even more fun. After going down the mountain in the evening, I went to the rehearsal venue in Qingbo Gate to go to the rehearsal venue for an hour or two, and polished the progress of the script with Xie Yingying and others. It can be said that Lin Jue's schedule during this time is full, and he is busy until dark every day when he wakes up, and he is extremely busy and fulfilling.

In fact, most of the coursework in the academy relies on self-consciousness, and the teacher's teaching is just to the point, and the rest is for the students to familiarize themselves with the memorization and carry out further thinking, and if they have questions, they will ask the teacher to answer the questions.

In fact, many coursework has a fixed teaching model, and each poem actually has a fixed set of sentences to read and explain, which has become a habit. However, Xue Qian is different, but after the poetry is taught, he has to ask questions from another angle, which seems to be contrary to tradition, and seems to be making a quibbling debate, but he is happy to do it.

Lin Jue unconsciously became interested in this Xue Qian, this strange old gentleman is indeed different. This difference is not only in the appearance of his behavior, but also in his attitude towards problems and the way he teaches his students. This is definitely an alternative person in today's era, and Songshan Academy can tolerate Xue Qian's existence, perhaps because of Fang Dunru, who is the head of the mountain. Otherwise, the other chairs in the academy would have driven Xue Qian away long ago.

Regarding Xue Qian, Fang Dunru once said something to Lin Jue: "You don't see that Xue Qian is a little different and crazy. But in fact, among the people the old man knows, there is no one who has ideas and dares to act like him. Do you think that his actions in the academy are deliberately torturing you? In fact, he wants to train your spirit of speaking up and doing things. He once told me that the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were all dogs and horses, and they all knew how to sing praises of virtue. Everyone is only promised, and they don't say anything when they encounter problems. only seeks a group of harmony, does not dare to speak out against bad things, and does not dare to stand up for good things, so that the top and bottom are rotten and decadent, everyone is busy competing for fame and fortune, promotion and wealth, and no one really cares about the major affairs of the court. That's why he thinks that the court needs these people who dare to speak out, otherwise it will become more and more erosive. The old man felt deeply and thought so. That's why the old man allowed him to do what he wanted to do in the academy. I let you go to his school to study, and I also want you to become a person who dares to speak up. ”

After listening to Fang Dunru's words, Lin Jue's opinion of Xue Qian completely changed, and he also understood Fang Dunru's intentions. Xue Qian was forced to leave the court because he dared to speak out, and Fang Dunru was also the same kind of person as him, and he also resigned in anger because of political disagreements. Although he may not be willing to be that kind of person, Fang Dunru obviously hopes that he will become the same person as him, which also shows Fang Dunru's recognition of himself from another aspect.

The so-called Tao is not the same, things gather people in groups, people always have to be with their own kind of people, with a common concept for the party, huddle together for warmth. And the children they have cultivated should also be in the same party as them. In a sense, Fang Dunru and Xue Qian were cultivating and screening their partisan members. Thinking about it like this, Lin Juejue didn't know whether to be happy or worried.

But in any case, Lin Jue thinks that it is commendable to dare to speak out, the Great Zhou Dynasty has been in power for more than 100 years, and the imperial court policy has been quite flawed, and the court atmosphere has long been less uplifting than when the country was founded. The habits of officialdom are rotten, everyone is for himself, and there are very few people who really take into account the court and the people. If some people don't come forward, I'm afraid all this will be even more serious, and sooner or later it will be out of control. So from this point of view, Xue Qian's advocacy is very beneficial. If the students can really speak up and act without fear of power, if they can enter the court as officials in the future, they will definitely change the habits of officialdom and play a certain role.
