The torrential rain continued on 13 June and did not stop until the afternoon of 14 June. Jia Baoyu stepped on the stagnant water on the road, and returned to Jia's mansion from the small courtyard of the study, his face was slightly unhappy.

The summer rain is cool, and the green bananas are dripping.

The attacker who was doing needlework in the warm pavilion in the house sat on the embroidery pier, white and clean, with a gentle and obedient appearance, seeing Baoyu coming in, he got up with a delicate smile, and asked gently: "It's class time, why are you back?" ”

Jia Baoyu wears a purple and gold crown with a bundle of hair inlaid on his head, a white embroidered arrow sleeve, and a small court boot with a blue satin foundation, looking like a splendid son. At this time, he threw the schoolbag in his hand on the couch chair and said angrily: "Mr. Lin is busy teaching Huan Laosan, how can he teach me?" ”

In the "Talented and Beautiful Woman" incident a few days ago, Jia Huan gave Jia's mother and Mrs. Wang a "penalty notice" and did not mention it. Jia Baoyu still has some influence here. He went to the study today to read, intending to behave well.

Of course, the main reason is that Sister Lin is angry with him, and Yingchun, Tanchun, and Xichun are all a little alienated from him. Sister Bao didn't, but Lixiangyuan was a bit far away, and the weather was very hot, so he wouldn't go every day. Sister Yun is okay. But he was a little uplifted, so he went to the study.

Where did he think that Lin Juren, who was square and serious, was actually teaching Jia Huan's "Analects" with all his heart, how could he be embarrassed! No matter how he looks at Jia Huan now, it's very unpleasant. I was upset, so I found an excuse to come back.

When the attacker heard Jia Huan's name, his face changed slightly, and he had palpitations. If it weren't for his wife protecting her that day, she was afraid that she would have been kicked out of the house. earnestly persuaded: "That's a scheming man." The old lady and the lady had already punished him. It's better for the second master to be less involved with him. ”

Baoyu nodded, "That's right." And he said, "Don't be afraid of him, if he provokes you, you tell me, and I will teach him a lesson." ”

Jia Huan's "combat effectiveness" is too fierce, and he has a "mixed" strength, even Sister Mandarin Duck and Sister Feng dare to scold. He was afraid that Jia Huan would scold her after encountering an attacker.

The attacker took a towel to wipe the rain from Baoyu's hair, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid of what he is doing!" Let's go to Miss Lin's house and have a look. ”

Baoyu laughed, holding the attacking hand, and was in a much better mood.

…

…

At around four o'clock in the afternoon, Jia Lan returned home alone with his schoolbag. Li Kun was a little uncomfortable in his stomach today, so he came back early from Jia's mother to rest. Dressed in plain clothes, with a graceful figure, lazily leaning on a chair and drinking red dates and wolfberry tea, the young woman's style inadvertently flowed out.

Her personal maids, Suyun and Biyue, were carefully serving in the house.

Jia Lan greeted Li Kun first, and then sat down next to his mother to talk, mainly about his study.

Li Kun has always paid close attention to his son's schoolwork, especially after going to Jia Huan's room that day and seeing a large number of study notes taken by Jia Huan, he came back to supervise Jia Lan to study more strictly.

Jia Lan said: "Mother, Mr. began to speed up the schoolwork of the third uncle. The third uncle is still working hard in the study. Envy was written on his little face. Although he also likes to play, he prefers the importance of his teachers and the happy smile of his mother when he succeeds in studying.

Li Kun was a little curious, "Lan'er, why is this?" ”

Jia Lan said: "I don't know. Yesterday, Mr. left the third uncle to take the school coursework, and this morning he announced that he would speed up the third uncle's study progress. Mr. and Professor did not shy away from me and Uncle Cong. Mr. said that his academic truth: do not read the books of the Five Classics and Confucius and Mencius, and do not teach the studies of Lian, Luo, Guan and Fujian. ”

Li Kun's father is the former son of the country who supervised the sacrificial wine, and he can still understand Lin Juren's words. This refers to the four masters of science in the Zhou and Song dynasties. Lian is the great Confucian Zhou Dunyi, known as Mr. Lianxi.

Jia Huan's handwritten "Ai Lian Said" that attracted Lin Daiyu's attention is Zhou Dunyi's famous article. It's just that in this time and space, I don't know why this good article didn't come out.

Luoxue is two journeys: Cheng Hao and Cheng Yi. Cheng Zhu Lixue's "Cheng".

Guan Xue is Zhang Zai, known as Mr. Hengqu. The most famous is his four sentences of Hengqu: 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.

Min Xue is Zhu Xi. Because Zhu Xi's lecture location is Jianyang, Fujian. Fujian is referred to as Fujian.

Li Kun said: "This is Mr. said that his knowledge is inherited from the master of science, not Mr. Yangming's disciple." What else? ”

Jia Lan was surprised and said, "Mother, how do you know that there is more?" Seeing that Li Kun just chuckled, he said: "Mr. said: Master, preach and receive karma to solve doubts." There are three kinds of teachers: teachers, karmic teachers, and human teachers. I'm sitting in your mansion, but I'm actually a teacher, teaching the Four Books and the Five Classics, just for you to read through. Now that Jia Huan wants to work hard, I will serve as your teacher. As for the human teacher, I am not virtuous enough to be a teacher. Look at the sages, Mencius, Cheng, and Zhu. ”

Li Kun nodded and said affirmatively: "Mr. Lin is a learned person. These words are clear and clear! ”

Jia Lan laughed approvingly, and continued: "Mr. Lin asked the third uncle to pour him tea and salute." ”

Li Kun's face changed slightly. Heaven and Earth Monarch Teacher. She knew what it meant for Lin Juren to let Jia Huan pour tea and salute. This is taking disciples.

Jia Lan didn't notice her mother's expression, and said with a smile: "Second Uncle Bao also went to the study this afternoon. However, he saw that Mr. Lin taught the third uncle seriously, so he sat down and left. When Mr. Lin got out of class, he said that Uncle Bao was frivolous and manic, let's not learn from him, we should be down-to-earth in our studies and endure loneliness. ”

Jia Lan didn't notice that he was in a good mood when he saw Second Uncle Bao eating deflated.

Li Kun sighed and gently stroked his son's head, "Lan'er, I'm afraid that your third uncle is determined to study and make a name for himself." He was going to participate in the imperial examination. ”

Jia Lan looked at her mother and said, "Mother, I also want to participate in the imperial examination and glorify my ancestors." ”

Li Kun shook his head. Brother Huan'er participated in the imperial examination not to glorify his ancestors, but he was forced to have no way out. She heard Su Yun say that the food he had been given in the kitchen recently was leftovers. Qingwen cried angrily in private, but she didn't make trouble because of Brother Huan'er's orders.

This must have been instructed by Sister Feng, the style is not high after all, and she has never read poetry books!

Li Kun put away the emotions that instantly surged in his heart, and said to Jia Lan: "Lan'er, it's good that you have this ambition. Go read a book. Don't get too close to your third uncle. ”

"Oh." Although Jia Lan was puzzled and uncomfortable, he still obeyed his mother's instructions and obediently went to his room to read.

Li Kun looked at his son's small figure and sighed in his heart. Of course, she knew that Lan Ge'er and Jia Huan could study well and improve their efficiency together, but she couldn't afford the consequences of being close to Jia Huan. Now everyone in the mansion is "rejecting" him.

…

…

After deciding to go through the imperial examination, Jia Huan suddenly became busy and had no time to deal with other things. If you want to reach the level of participating in the imperial examination in 8 months, you must study "by surprise" and speed up your progress.

The county examination is presided over by the magistrate, and there are 5 exams. The subjects are: Bagu Essays, Trial Poems, Sutras, Laws, Strategies, etc. The reason why there is a word "wait" is because the county has a lot of discretion in the county examination, and students can freely ask questions for the school examination.

Jia Huan's current learning progress is still studying the four books: the Analects. From the perspective of examination subjects, he needs to complete the four books: Daxue, Analects, Zhongyong, and Mencius, and then choose one of the Five Classics: Book of Songs, Zhou Yi, Spring and Autumn, Shangshu, and Book of Rites to study. It's called "Benjing".

In layman's terms: the Four Books are compulsory courses, and the Five Classics are elective courses, so just choose one to study.

Learning the Four Books and the Five Classics not only means that you can read the meaning of every sentence in the book, but also memorize the words and sentences well. Otherwise, how can you take the test if you don't even know where the questions come from when you go to the exam room?

And that's just the basics. Jia Huan also has to learn the skills of the eight-strand literary system, that is, how to write the eight-strand text. Eight strands of text, speaking on behalf of the sage. One of the most important factors in this is to clarify the thoughts of the saints.

For example, there is an allusion to Mencius that "fifty steps and a hundred steps of laughter", which can not only look at the meaning of the allusion, but also combine the context, Mencius is to persuade King Liang Hui: to be kingly, not domineering. Thresholds like that.

Then, you can take the next exam.

It can be seen that Jia Huan's learning task is very heavy. Fortunately, he has the habit of taking notes, and he will consciously review every day, and there will be no situation where the teacher talks about the back but forgets the front.

Lin Juren is so sure that he can teach Jia Huan to the level of a student in a short period of time, in addition to his confidence in his own knowledge, he values Jia Huan. In 14 months, it is more than enough to go through the four books in detail twice.

That evening, Jia Huan came back from his study and memorized the passages in the Analects. He took out the strength to memorize English words in high school back then. The matter of reading has always been that if you are not crazy, you will not survive. As soon as I arrived at the house, I saw Shi Xiangyun's maid Cui Wei chatting with Qingwen and Ruyi in the side hall.

Cui Wei, Qingwen, and Ruyi greeted them and followed Jia Huan to the back room. Cui Wei solemnly curtsied to Jia Huan and said, "Third master, the girl sent me to apologize to you, asking for Ying Ning's article to cause you trouble." ”

Jia Huan calmly accepted the emerald blessing and waved his hand, "I know in my heart, it's not about Miss Shi." He had the heart to call Shi Xiangyun "Sister Yun". However, he is in a depraved situation now, so forget it. He shouted in the side hall of Jia's mother house that day.

Cui Wei breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Thank you, Third Master!" The girls got together recently to discuss a few questions raised by the third master, and they were all some curious answers. Miss Xue smiled and said that she could have asked the third master for an answer. ”

Jia Huan laughed, Xue Baochai said this very skillfully, not only expressing concern for him, but also explaining that he could not come to visit, "There is a paragraph in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the girls probably haven't read the original book of the Three Kingdoms." ”

Cui Wei smiled: "Then I'll go back to the girls like this." Third master, the girl heard Cuimo say that you replied to the third girl with a poem to sing the song, I don't know if I can write it to the girl. ”

Jia Huan glanced at Cui Wei, somewhat understood Shi Xiangyun's tentative intentions, and said freely: "Okay." "As he spoke, he sharpened the ink, picked up the pen and immediately put it up, and the handwriting was flying. He really didn't blame Shi Xiangyun for the idea of "asking for a script".

The first culprit of the "Talented and Beautiful Woman" incident is Wang Xifeng, who provoked trouble, and the second is the attacker who informed.

Cui Wei clutched her chest and breathed a sigh of relief. The girl said, if the third master of Huan is willing to write to her again, it will be really forgiven, if she doesn't write, I'm afraid I still blame her in my heart.

Now it seems that the third master distinguishes between right and wrong and has a frank temperament. Where is the "villain" that Bao Er Ye said?
