Chapter 38: Why Not Read?
Respect for teachers, learn smart, hard-working students, no teacher will not like. How can Lin Juren be an exception?
Jia Huan was called away by the arrogant little guy in Jiafu in front of him two days ago, and when he came to study the next day, he was worried and silent. Today it is even more unthinkable.
Lin Juren roughly heard a little rumor: It seems that Jia Huan offended a certain housekeeper and daughter-in-law in Jia's mansion, but it won't even calm down the heart of reading, right?
In fact, although Jiafu is now "sparse", "the outer shelf has not fallen, but the inner bag has also come up", but how can it be impossible for the things in the second gate to be transmitted to Lin Juren outside?
It's really Jia Huan's scolding words that are too ruthless. People in the mansion and outside the Jia Mansion have heard about it, and they are scolding a big celebrity like Wang Xifeng, so there are only a few words that come out.
Lin Judao: "Han Changli has a saying: Teacher, so preaching and receiving karma to solve doubts. Since I am your teacher, it is my duty to answer your questions. Seeing that your mind is not on reading these two days, what difficulties have you encountered? ”
Lin Juren is kind. Jia Huan got up to give Lin Juren a seat, stood, considered it, and said, "I had a gap with the second sister-in-law of Lian at home because of some trivial things, and I had a fight in front of the elders a few days ago. My family ordered me to study hard from now on and not to leave the house again. ”
Jia Huan skipped some details, and Lin Juren was not exhausted, raised his eyebrows strangely, and said: "The punishment of studying behind closed doors is also normal. Why do you look worried? ”
Jia Huan said with some guilt: "Students want to run a business and earn money to improve their lives. If you are detained in the government, you will lose your financial resources. ”
His guilt was not because he was embarrassed to do business, but because he couldn't tell Lin Juren the truth: his goal was to earn money and leave Jiafu. Improving lives is just incidental.
Seeing that Jia Huan's face was a little ashamed, Lin Juren was about to reprimand him and swallowed it again. He is not a well-read man. Life is difficult, and of course he knows that he is trapped in Beijing. He came to Jiafu to "sit in the museum" because he was forced by life.
Just now Jia Huan said "Lian's second sister-in-law", he heard a little. It is said to be the great housekeeper in Jiafu. Offending such a character, I'm afraid that he, a student, will have a very hard time in Jiafu. It is understandable that you want to run a business and become self-reliant.
In today's world, it is no longer the time for scholars to be "ashamed of their words", and Confucian merchants are popular. Fang Fengjiu, the leader of the current literary circle, wrote inscriptions to people in the city of Nanjing, earning thousands of dollars. Shilin is like this!
Lin Juren was silent for a while, and sighed lightly: "It's hard for you." So what are you going to do now? He didn't ask Jia Huan what he did to make money, and it wouldn't be good if he asked about the sore spots of the students. Although he was curious: how can an 8-year-old child make money?
Jia Huan said truthfully: "I haven't thought about it yet. I have been slacking off in schoolwork in the past two days, please forgive me! ”
Lin Juren waved his hand, twisted his beard, and said, "I taught you "Prodigy Poems" in the past, you can try to recite the beginning. ”
Jia Huan was a little puzzled, but the teacher asked him, and he could only recite: "The Son of Heaven is heroic, and the article teaches Er Cao; Everything is inferior, but reading is high. Young children must be diligent in learning, and articles can stand up; Zhu Zigui of the Manchu Dynasty is full of scholars..."
Lin Juren asked: "Everything is inferior, but only reading is high." How do you understand that? ”
Jia Huan said tentatively: "Mr. means to let me study hard?" ”
Lin Juren nodded, "Exactly!" This world will deceive you, some people will deceive you, but only poetry and books will never deceive you. is the so-called: Mo Daoru is wrong, and poetry and books live up to people. As long as the effort is used, it will come naturally. But with your fame, your situation in your house should be greatly improved, and you don't have to run business. Remember, everything is inferior, only reading is high! ”
Jia Huan smiled wryly. Lin Juren's reasoning is very correct and feasible, but he is not very interested.
Jia Huan has two concerns. First, even if he is a top student in the college entrance examination, with his current progress in studying the Four Books and Five Classics, how long will it take for him to be admitted to Xiucai? If it takes too long, six or seven years, by the 15th year of the Red Mansion, the Jiafu Mansion will collapse, and he will not even have time to escape.
Second, wouldn't it be more difficult for him to get out of the examination as Jia Huan? In a noble family like Jiafu, it is still quite eye-catching to show off talent. Moreover, Jia Fu will value him. It's definitely different from now for a concubine who shows a little talent.
Mother Jia was so disgusted with him in her heart, and said: If you don't read the famous hall, don't come to see me. How is this phrase understood in reverse? As long as he wins the show, even if Jia Mu dislikes him, she has to pinch her nose and admit it!
The status of a scholar with merit and fame in Jiafu can be seen in general.
Lin Juren saw Jia Huan smiling bitterly, thinking that he couldn't listen, and persuaded: "As long as you become a student, the elder of the sect will not dare to difficult you, the squire will not dare to difficult you, the junior officials will not dare to difficult you, and the officials will not dare to difficult you." How dare your sister-in-law embarrass you?
Moreover, students do not worship the county order, and are exempt from the criminal law of forced labor, and they can travel to study in all directions without being restricted by road guides. You're too young to understand the way of the world. Even if you have 10,000 gold in business and no fame to protect yourself, you are just a fat sheep raised by others! Slaughtered! ”
Jia Huan laughed helplessly and poured tea for Lin Juren. How could he not understand the key concerns in his heart, thought about it, and asked: "Sir, in your opinion, if I want to be admitted to Xiucai, how long will it take?" ”
If there is really no way, he can only consider trying to spend two or three years on the road of fame. This is better than pinning hopes on Mrs. Wang's daily mood. It's a one-and-done solution.
Of course, during his studies, if he spent all the money in his hand, he would probably have to eat bran vegetables to survive, and he would be extremely poor. But Wang Xifeng didn't dare to starve him to death in Jiafu, right?
As for the question of whether he can get out after being taken seriously by Jiafu. I guess it's going to be a bit of a hassle. But as long as he is determined enough and has a careful plan, it is still possible to leave. Take a step, look at a step. Let's talk about it then!
Lin Juren took the tea poured by Jia Huan, took a sip, and said with a smile: "It depends on how determined you are!" I think I'm talented, but I'm a little lazy. Scholars should have slept three more, five more up, head hanging beam, cone thorn strands. ”
Jia Huan smiled ashamedly, he really didn't study hard and was writing a book. At this time, he asked, "Sir, don't worry about me being lazy, study with the greatest determination, when will I be able to go to school?" ”
Lin Juren smiled and raised a finger, "This year is the Year of Gengxu." In June, the annual examination has passed. The hospital examination is in August. You are not eligible. Next year is the Xinhai year, and scientific expeditions will be held. The prefectural examination will begin in February. There are still about 8 months to go. After that, the government examination was held in April, and the hospital examination was held in August. One year and two months, I promise to get you to the level of a student. But whether you can win or not depends on your luck. ”
Jia Huan was silent.
But he also passed the exam all the way when he was studying, and he knew that sometimes the exam really needed to look at luck. He had a top student in high school, and he usually got into the top five of his class. But that year, this classmate only took two exams.
Lin Juren smiled faintly. He is dignified and spends his time teaching a student one-on-one, and it would be a joke if the student could not meet the standard of Xiucai! But he didn't say it all. The road to fame requires strength and luck.
Jia Huan's mind was running at high speed. I couldn't make up my mind for a while. If he makes up his mind to take the Xiucai exam, the risk is: what if he doesn't pass the Xiucai exam after two or three years? What will he do then? Lin Juren didn't have a packing ticket.
The imperial examination can be taken many times, but there is only one human head. He wants a 100% success rate. Because, if you miss the best time to get out of Jiafu, it is estimated that you will have to give these pig teammates a place to die.
Lin Juren saw that Jia Huan was still hesitating, and sighed lightly: "This year's spring has passed, and the next one will be three years later." I'm a science and technology stumbling man. A few days ago, there was a letter from my hometown: Jiaci is not in good health. I already have the intention of returning to my hometown, and I will sit in Jiafu until next year at most. ”
He still wants to leave a memento of his years of sitting in the museum before leaving: to cultivate a student who has achieved fame. Readers pay attention to "geese have left a voice, and people have left a name".
Jia Huan knew he was going to make a decision. If he misses a teacher with a level like Lin Juren, it will be really difficult for him to show off his talents in the learning environment of Jiafu. Baguwen is a set of things, there is no predecessor to teach, and if you want to learn by yourself, it is a fool's dream.
In the seventh chapter of the Red Mansion book, the time span is the ninth year of the Red Mansion, Jia Baoyu met Qin Zhong for the first time and said something like this, "We have a family school, and those in the family who cannot extend the teacher can enter the school to study, and there are relatives among the children who can study in the school." I went home last year because of my karma, and now I'm in ruins. My father's intention is also to send me to review the old books for the time being, and then read them at home when the teacher comes up next year. ”
There are three points to note in this passage: First, in the original book, Lin Juren left this year.
Second, the home school in Jiafu, anyone who has seen the Red Mansion knows what kind of rotten place it is. Xue Pan openly played with boys in it, and he was good at Longyang. Jia Baoyu and Qin Zhong are the same, they hook up with Xianglian and Yuai when they go in.
It's an eye-opener in front of you, and there are still people doing this kind of thing in school? Jia Huan just wants to say: the city can play!
Third, with Jia Baoyu's treatment, after the teacher leaves, he can only be empty for a year, and he can only go to the home school to study. And with his Jia Huan's treatment in Jia Mansion, can he still ask Mr. to teach him alone?
Jia Baoyu said that Lin Juren would come back next year (ten years of the Red Mansion), but Lin Juren has now made it clear that he will not come back.
Jia Huan can't afford to wait!
Jia Huan used to talk about business in the shopping mall, believing in the principle of "ten birds in the forest, it is better to have one bird in hand", and he was decisive and neat. He immediately got up and saluted Lin Juren as a disciple, and said with a resolute expression: "The student has decided, please teach me!" ”
The imperial examination is risky, and you need to be cautious when entering the industry.
But he had no choice. If you miss this village, you won't have that shop.
"Good! Good! Good! Lin Juren stroked his palms and smiled, "From tomorrow, I will speed up your learning progress." ”
