Su Jin panted and ran to Minglun Hall, and the sound of Lang Lang Shu came into his ears, and he was shocked: It's bad, it's really late, I was late on the first day of school, which is really unreasonable.

I had no choice but to carry the bookcase one by one in more than a dozen schools, looking for the number of the second hall I studied.

Unfortunately, the school is arranged in the order of A, B, C, D, and E, the main entrance of Minglun Hall enters, and the left and right are the first and second halls of the first character, and the back of the corridor is the schools such as B, C, and D, Su Jin had to endure the side glances of the middle school students in the front school, and his face was quite uneasy, but fortunately, he arrived at the second hall after a while.

Su Jin looked at it, and more than 20 students were listening to an old man in black in the front row shaking his head and reading a book.

The old man in black didn't seem to notice that Su Jin was probing his brain outside the door, and he was still reading vigorously; Su Jin took advantage of the moment when he lowered his head and turned the book, and stabbed into the school hall with a short body, the whole hall was silent, it seemed that the lecturer really didn't notice it, Su Jin was secretly happy, found a vacant seat to sit down, and as soon as he looked up, he saw that the lecturer was squinting at himself, and the students in the whole hall also turned their heads to look at themselves,

Su Jin secretly complained to himself, but he still didn't escape his eyes, but he saw the old man in black put down the scroll in his hand, lifted a black ring ruler and walked off the stage.

Su Jin's scalp was numb, and he muttered in his heart: This is to physically punish students, this is illegal; It's a pity that the cry in Su Jin's heart didn't resonate with the old man's heart, and the old man walked up to Su Jin and said in a majestic tone: "Stand up and report your name." ”

Su Jin stood up helplessly, bowed and saluted, "Student Su Jin." ”

"You're late, you know?"

"Students understand."

"Have you listened to the academy regulations announced yesterday?"

"Student...... Listened. ”

"Then there's nothing more to say, follow the rules, stretch out your hand."

Su Jin whispered: "Can you not fight?" ”

The old man said: "It's okay not to fight, but you need to kneel." ”

Su Jin rolled his eyes, it was better to be beaten, and reluctantly stretched out his hand, the old man gently grabbed the tips of Su Jin's fingers, and before he could see how he moved, he saw that the swarthy ring ruler hit Su Jin's palm with lightning speed.

Su Jin was only stunned for a moment, and his hand was hit by "pop papa" more than ten times, the skill of the technique, the strength in place is breathtaking, and the part of the hit is extremely tricky, it is the bulge under the thumb. On the mound, there is a lot of flesh here, the vascular nerve endings are dense, and the end is painful, and it is obvious that this gentleman has practiced the business of beating people with a ruler, and I don't know how many students have been subjected to his ruler.

The students in the school gloated as they watched Su Jin grin and inhale the cold air, and watched him raise one hand flat, but his body writhed like a water snake, looking so funny, a student couldn't help but laugh.

Su Jin was so angry, these dogs were so bad, no one begged for a favor, but regarded this as a farce, and was gritting his teeth, when suddenly the ring stopped.

"Today's first offense, the precept ruler is thirty minutes, and if there is a similar one, it will be fifty precepts, and it will not be spared." After all, the years are unforgiving, and the old man beats others, but he is a little out of breath.

Su Jin saw that half of his palms were high and swollen, and he was already scolding endlessly in his stomach.

"When the disciple enters, he is filial, and when he comes out, he is cautious and faithful, he loves the public, and he is kind and benevolent, and he has more than enough strength to learn literature. This is the words of the saints, that is, to be filial to your parents before them; When you go out, you must obey your teacher, be cautious in your words and deeds, be honest and trustworthy, be quiet, love everyone widely, and be close to those who are kind. After practicing in this way, if you still have the energy to spare, you will seek knowledge again. Like you, you are lazy to learn, you can't even get up early, you don't even say hello when you're late for school, you sneak in, you get rid of treachery, and you come to learn some moral articles, let alone any imperial examinations. The old man scolded with his hand.

Su Jin thought about it, he really didn't take this rule seriously, and it was a loose university classroom in the later generations, and no one cared about you at all, but here is the Song Dynasty, an era when reading is regarded as a matter bigger than the sky, and his stinky problems have attracted a punishment, which can be regarded as self-inflicted.

"What the gentleman taught is that the students know that they are wrong." Su Jin said sincerely.

The old man saw that Su Jin's attitude was quite correct, his face softened a little, and said: "If you make a mistake and can change it, you can be a gentleman, but the punishment is still needed, and the punishment is to copy "Xueer" five hundred times, and it will be handed over tomorrow morning." ”

Su Jin was dumbfounded, although the number of words in the "Xueer" chapter is not much, wouldn't copying it five hundred times at once require his own life? And it's all written with a brush, the speed can be imagined, how much Su Jin hopes to have a photocopier in the future, but the reality is cruel, pretending to be cowardly is not good, look at this posture or obediently obey orders.

So he bowed down and said, "The student admits the punishment and will hand it in tomorrow." ”

The old man turned around and went to the podium with satisfaction, opened the scroll and began to sing word by word, Su Jin calmed down, and listened to the old man read and talk word by word.

Su Jin didn't expect that he could sit here seriously and listen to the old master take these old antiques, and actually listen to them with relish, this discovery surprised Su Jin, could it be that he was assimilated?

He only lectured for about a quarter of an hour, and the rest of the morning was all self-study, and the lecture time in the academy was actually very short, and most of them were self-study, but the lecturer was on the side.

What I am learning today is the first part of the Analects, which is the well-known "Learning and learning from time to time, and it is very enjoyable...... People don't know, but they are not ashamed, and they are not gentlemen. This paragraph. Su Jin naturally knew the meaning of this paragraph, but after the black-clothed gentleman finished speaking, he dropped the question.

"I don't know but don't be ashamed, my generation should be effective" Su Jin saw this kind of nondescript topic and his head was big, fortunately, the time was very wide, and he handed over the text at noon, Su Jin also had time to piece together words and sentences in his stomach to complete the task, until this time, Su Jin understood the difficulty of the imperial examination when he was in Luzhou, and it was difficult to go to the blue sky. 'Try to discuss', just take out a sentence in the Four Books and Five Classics or other sub-collections, and ask you to discuss it, if you don't have any real skills, don't even think about it.

Li Chong once made fun of Su Jin for saying that he would take the exam after two months of studying, saying that he might not be able to go to high school in two years, Su Jin didn't think so at the time, but it was just one morning, and Su Jin deeply understood the meaning; This also reminded Su Jin from the side that he wanted to opportunistically sneak into the ranks of civil servants in the Great Song Dynasty with thousands of years of knowledge and a large number of books and articles that Su Xiaoguan had read in his flesh.

When the courseware was resting, Su Jin found Wang Anshi, and the two sat on the stone steps in front of Minglun Hall and looked at the bustling students in the square, Su Jin didn't know why, and suddenly wanted to share the understanding in his heart with others, Wang Anshi quietly listened to what Su Jin said, and suddenly laughed.

Su Jin said in surprise: "Why is Brother Wang laughing, but is there anything wrong with what you have realized?" ”

Wang Anshi waved his hand and said: "Of course not, it's just that I suddenly felt that it was very similar to Brother Su's thoughts, so I laughed, this is a joy of knowing my heart, not a mockery." ”

Su Jinxi said: "It turns out that Brother Wang also feels this way, and I think this imperial examination is getting more and more difficult; It only took half a day, and I lost confidence in the next day. ”

Wang Anshi said: "That's because you think too deeply, I also thought it was difficult and difficult at the beginning, but at the moment I feel very easy, this year's imperial examination has been postponed, if it is not postponed, even if the examination starts in September, it is not a boast, and the middle examination is easy." ”

Su Jin hurriedly said: "It seems that Brother Wang has found the secret, can you tell me and listen to it." ”

Wang Anshi squinted at Su Jindao and said: "It's better to understand this kind of thing by yourself, even if I tell you in the future, it is also my own understanding, and you may not use it; Brother Su still works hard, if you still haven't found a way before next autumn, I will definitely tell you all and help Brother Tai. ”

Su Jin's face was slightly red, he didn't choose what to say, and he wanted to know other people's big secrets in a hurry, which was too abrupt, as if someone in later generations would not hesitate to steal other people's scientific research results for fame and fortune, and plagiarize other people's books and works.

Wang Anshi's expression also inspired Su Jin's stubbornness, and he secretly made up his mind that from today until next year's autumn, he must abandon all distracting thoughts, work hard, and seek others rather than himself, or rely on himself to be more stable.
