The four of them chatted and finished eating, and then decided to disperse.

Before leaving, Lin Yanchao was a little reluctant to say: "As soon as Brother Weng leaves, I don't know when I will have the opportunity to ask you for advice in the future!" ”

Weng Zhengchun said: "Brother Lin doesn't dare, I've been in the township for the past two days, you can come to me, but in a few days, I'm going to Jinshan Temple to study hard behind closed doors, I'm afraid I won't be able to greet Brother Lin." ”

The famous Jiangzhong Temple in Hongtang Township, Jinshan Temple, built on an island in the heart of the Minshui River, the internal and external traffic is only the monks holding the boat to and fro, here it is a good place for the scholars to listen to the things outside the window, and only read the books of the sages.

Lin Yanchao was a little disappointed when he heard this, and it seemed that the thigh of the champion could not be hugged by himself. So Lin Yanchao said goodbye to Weng Zhengchun, and then Hou Zhongshu went to the market again and bought a bunch of light cakes to go back.

Hongtang City's light cakes are very famous, and Hou Zhongshu is a foodie, so he will not let it go. When the two of them returned to social school, they ate light cakes all the way, and talked about Lin Yanchao's retreat from Zhou Zongcheng today, talking and laughing. However, Lin Yanchao was not in such a good mood, on the contrary, he was a little worried.

The children's examination is two examinations in three years, and the college examination has just ended in August this year, and the next children's examination will be suspended for a year next year, and the next children's examination will start the year after tomorrow.

The following year is the county examination in February, the government examination in April, and the hospital examination in August. It was only a year and a half before February of the following year, and I was exactly fourteen years old at that time, which seemed to be quite young. It doesn't seem to be eager, but it actually seems to be quite eager.

The county test, the government test, and then the hospital test. Even if the hospital has tried, it is not eligible for the township test. Jin Juren, Yin Jinshi, the acceptance rate of the township examination is lower than that of the general examination, and after the township examination, there is also the general examination and the palace examination.

The children's test in the year after tomorrow is their first chance, and there is no off-the-field talent since ancient times, so you have a chance to take the test. Weng Zhengchun said that it was best for him to take the county exam five years later, but Lin Yanchao wanted to come and work hard to catch up, anyway, he had the talent to endorse.

After Lin Yanchao clarified the direction, he looked at the sunset on the side of the mountain and felt that the whole person was much relieved. The imperial examination is the way that he must take when he comes to the Ming Dynasty, even if he crosses the single-plank bridge with thousands of troops, he must show his sword. Lin Yanchao can't wait to pick up the book and read it now.

The old master is still messing around in school, and his classmates are also willing to turn a blind eye to the teacher, and in a blink of an eye, it is August 15, and the schoolchildren in the township go home early for the holiday, only Lin Yanchao stays in the social school.

There was no one in the classroom, Lin Yanchao was studying hard, and he didn't have to worry about being disturbed.

Lin Yanchao took the university chapter that Lin Chengyi gave him and read it aloud.

"Poetry: "Zhan Bi Qiao, Zhu Zhu Yiyi." There are Fijian gentlemen, such as cutting and learning, such as grinding. It's noisy, it's noisy. There is a Fijian gentleman, and you can't be embarrassed! "If you are like a learner, you will learn Taoism; If you are like grinding, you can also self-study; Those who are sloppy and sloppy are also sorrowful; Those who are noisy are also majestic; There are Fijian gentlemen, who can not be disgraced in the end, the Tao is virtuous and good, and the people cannot forget it. ”

Lin Yanchao couldn't help frowning when he read this, because he didn't understand.

The University Chapters and Sentences Book is passed on to ten. One of the scriptures is the words of Confucius, more than 200 words. Biography of ten articles, Zeng Zi expounded and narrated the words of Confucius, more than 2,000 words. The collection of annotations is the annotation of Zhu Xi and Cheng Yi on the whole book, more than 5,000 words.

Although the 200 words of Confucius were interpreted into more than 8,000 words, Lin Yanchao and other schoolchildren still said that they really couldn't understand it! It is said that he has read a book a hundred times, and his meaning is self-evident, but now that he has read it more than a hundred times, he still can't understand it.

Lin Yanchao was in trouble, but when he saw a figure flashing outside the window, Lin Yanchao turned around and walked out of the window as if there was no one.

Now that the Mid-Autumn Festival is over, the students in social studies have gone back for the holidays, so they have him and the old master, and that figure is eighty percent of the old master.

Lin Yanchao took the book and walked out of the lecture hall, the moon was shining outside the window, but he saw that there were still lights on Xizhai, so he walked over.

But seeing Lin Yanchao walking in front of Xizhai and poking his head out, the old master was sitting upright.

Lin Yanchao lowered his head and looked at a fresh shoe print and said, Okay, if it's really you, Mr. is just watching the disciple read, why are you still sneaky.

The door of the house was open, and Lin Yanchao walked into the house and saluted, "I've seen Mr." ”

The old master inside took the book and said unhappily: "It's the Mid-Autumn Festival, why don't you go back, what are you doing here?" ”

Lin Yanchao said: "Mr. misunderstood, the student's home is far away, it is inconvenient to go back and forth, and he only goes home once a month, and he has to go back for the Mid-Autumn Festival in just a few days, isn't it a waste of time." ”

"So, what's the matter at such a late hour?" The old master's expression eased a little.

Lin Yanchao picked up the university chapter and asked: "Sir, the student just reads it, and the poem is cloudy: "Zhan Bi Qiao, Zhu Zhu Yiyi." There are Fijian gentlemen, such as cutting and learning, such as grinding. It's noisy, it's noisy. There are Fei gentlemen, and you can't be noisy! If you don't understand the meaning, please answer. ”

The old master asked rhetorically, "What do you think?" ”

Lin Yanchao said at the moment: "It is said that the way of the university is in Mingmingde, in being close to the people, and in stopping at perfection. ”

This sentence comes from Qi Ao in the Wei Feng in the Book of Poetry, Zeng Zi chose this sentence in the biography, to explain the way of the university, and stop at the meaning of the four words of perfection. Zhan Bi Qiao, bamboo is rampant, and praise the goodness of the gentleman with bamboo. As for the students below, they don't understand. ”

The old master nodded and said, "What you know is what you know, and what you don't know is what you don't know." You don't impose an explanation, you can add your own meaning, it's okay. ”

"I'll explain it for you, when the sages of the ancient Fagu, such as those who learn from each other, Taoism also; It means that if you polish your bones and keep cutting them, you are talking about the virtues of a gentleman when he studies knowledge. If you are grinding and grinding, self-cultivation is also about a gentleman's self-cultivation such as polishing beautiful jade, and pondering repeatedly. The gentleman looks solemn and open-minded, because he is cautious and fearful in his heart. Those who are noisy and noisy are also majestic, and the Tao is dignified, so there is prestige. And in this way, the state of perfection can be attained. ”

"The student understands, thank you for your teaching." Lin Yanchao was like an initiation, he had been pondering for many days, and if he couldn't understand it, he suddenly understood it under the words of the old master.

It's a great feeling.

Lin Yanchao said in his heart, although this old master is only a child, he still has real talent in his belly, and he stepped forward and asked, "Sir, student Yu ......"

"Well, I'm tired." The old master waved his hand and gave the order to evict the guest.

I rub, it's going to dare me go.

Lin Yanchao hurriedly said: "Sir, the students are puzzled in many places, please teach me!" It won't delay you for too long. ”

The old master sneered: "I'm just a fallen old boy, where can I be qualified to teach you." ”

Lin Yanchao knew that the old master still had a problem with him, thinking about the events of the past few days, he had a lot of things wrong, and he looked down on the other party a little because the other party was an old child. From this point of view, I don't respect my teacher enough

Lin Yanchao said sincerely at the moment: "Mr. has just come to social studies, the student is not sensible, and there are many offenses and offenses, so I will apologize to Mr. here, and please forgive the student regardless of the villain." ”

The old boy taught us that if we are wrong, we must admit it, and if we are beaten, we must stand upright.

Feeling that the world has to revolve around him, this is a common problem of most traversers, Lin Yanchao secretly reminded himself.

Of course, the old master did not say 'flattered' because Lin Yanchao admitted his mistake. However, the old master snorted heavily, but his anger had disappeared a lot.

The old master opened his mouth and said: "I recommended Brother Chengyi as a social science teacher, and he told me that there is a disciple named Lin Yanchao who is worth cultivating, and he wants me to bother more......"

Lin Yanchao now wants to die, it turns out that he is his own person after a long time, didn't Zhang Hao say that he went through Zhang Guihe's back door? The news is inaccurate.

“…… Who would have thought that you would be so stubborn, just confront me, and encourage ......"

The old master criticized him freely, and Lin Yanchao seriously said that he was taught.

"But that day, you can recite the virtuous writings of the past, which shows that you are talented and have a good eye for Brother Chengyi. In the past few days, I have been observing you, and you are the first person to come to class every day, and you are the last person to leave. Not self-respecting and intelligent, but diligent in seeking knowledge, this desire to learn is more valuable than hard work and wisdom. ”

Lin Yanchao was even more ashamed, can he say that he is dedicated to learning and seeking for Daoliang? But to put it so noblely, even I take it a little seriously.

The old master turned around and said, "Since you have a desire to learn, it is nothing for me to teach you the scriptures, but you must not tell outsiders that I taught you the scriptures in the future." ”

"Why?"

"There is no reason, if you can't obey it, you don't want to come to study."

"The students remembered."

Under the lights, the old master looked at Lin Yanchao, and said in his heart, this son will never be a thing in the pool in the future, if he wins the show in the future, he will raise people, others ask him who his scripture teacher is, he said that he is an old boy, I am not being made fun of. Mr.'s incompetence can teach his disciples to show off their talents, but Mr. can't.

Thinking of this, the old master wiped a trace of sadness on his face.
