Chapter 9 Listening to the piano in the Taixue Pavilion
During this time, I received an invitation from Guozijian and Taixue Hall to give lectures to students, that is, I was asked to give a few lectures to students, which is still an unwritten rule in the Hanlin Academy, and even if I am busy, I have to find time to walk.
Someone has to ask, what is the difference between Guozijian and Taixueguan?
In fact, there is no difference between the two, both are places where students study, and the educational institutions set up by the state are different for students who study in them. The students in Guozijian are all the children of the gate valve, and they are either rich or noble. The students of Taixue Hall are poor students who are selected from various states and counties every year.
Although I am also a student of Guozijian, I also know that the students of Taixueguan and Guozijian will be very different in their careers in the future.
Even if the students of Guozijian are not good at learning, their future careers are guaranteed. And even if the students of the Taixue Pavilion are only eight high, they can only be released officials when they come out, and it is very difficult to stay in the capital as officials!
This is related to the gate valve system deposited in the Northern Wei Dynasty for many years!
I couldn't help but sigh, I know the shape of those students in the Guozijian, each eye is above the top, and occasionally there are those who are agile and agile, and they can't help but be infected with the temper of some young masters of high-ranking officials, and they are all difficult to serve. Therefore, when dealing with them, you have to be more dignified and more official, so that you can suppress them.
Therefore, I wore a scarf and a deep coat, formal and dignified. Speaking is also the appearance of an old pedant, bluffing the group of young masters into being stunned, and when it is over, they all give me a goodbye in a proper manner.
I'm in a good mood......
No, I'm done here, and I have to rush to the Taixue Hall on the second day.
When I came to the Taixue Museum, looking at the dilapidated houses and the plaques with the paint off and the stern zhòng, I was a little suspicious, is this really the Taixue Museum for teaching and educating people?
That's a big difference, isn't it?
The appearance of the high gate and deep courtyard of Guozijian, and then look at the Taixue Hall in front of me, I can't help but complain a little, and I don't know how this steward manages things, so the students of the Taixue Hall will be regarded as the prince's protégés in the future, this is also too insulting, how long has this school not been repaired?
Fortunately, although the exterior looks shabby, the inner courtyard is clean and tidy, which is not interesting.
Walking along the road, I occasionally met a few older students, who would respectfully greet me, and when I saw their spirit, I could know how attentive the doctors who were responsible for teaching them were!
Well, I couldn't help but nod in satisfaction.
The behavior is polite, the advance and retreat are modest, although they were born in a poor family, they are not humble or arrogant, and the students here are really different from those of the Guozijian.
When I came to the door of the school, I found that a few children who had only reached the age of six were grinning at me, with a small towel on their heads, and their cute and naughty appearance made me a little unbearable to teach them with a strict expression!
Originally, students have different coursework according to their age, and it should be from easy to difficult, so Guozijian has such a strict grading system. But the Taixue Pavilion doesn't seem to be the case, it may be that the number of students is too small, and even the doctors who teach in the Taixue Pavilion are only two or three, which is not as talented as Guozijian!
It's no wonder that being able to enter Taixue is a great favor for a poor family. Even if you are lucky enough to learn a few words after worshipping a master, you may not have the opportunity to be sent to Taixue to continue studying, and only those who learn the best among them may be sent to Taixue Hall.
I looked at their textbooks and found that they were all hand-copied, and everyone's books were turned yellow and curled, so you can imagine how studious these children were.
I also felt a little uncomfortable in my heart, Guozijian's library has a rich collection of books, but more than ninety percent of the books are piled up on the shelves, with a thick layer of dust, and no one has really read it. And this group of students wanted to read books, but they could only copy them by hand, and looking at their enthusiastic and studious faces, I felt that I should do something for them.
As the old saying goes: teach students according to their aptitude!
The students in a school are older and younger, so they are taught separately. For the younger, they have to be taught to read and write, while for the older ones, they can ask a few questions to know what their level is, and then arrange their homework accordingly to deepen their understanding. In this way, time passed quietly.
I don't know what time it was, I knelt in the lecture hall and looked at the students who were studying calligraphy with a smile.
I'm thinking about finding an opportunity to send those old books at home to Ah Zheng to the Taixue Museum!
But at this time, I don't know who is playing the guqin, the sound of the piano is elegant and moving, the tune is quiet and pleasant, as if in the hollow valley and secluded forest, as if people can be swept away in a moment.
I can't help but be a little fascinated by it, this tune is elegant and moving, but I don't know what tune it is?
Some curiously looked out of the window where the sound of the piano came, and what they saw was only a corner of the pavilion, covered by tree branches, and they couldn't help blurting out:
"I wonder who played this pleasant song?"
"The student told Mr. that this song should have been played by Dr. Yat-sen!"
An older student replied with a respectful salute.
Yixian?hehe, it's him!
Humble gentleman, gentle as jade. It's Yixian!
Although I have only had a relationship with him, I have often heard that the world has praised Yixian as: the beautiful jade of the warm and moist, and the orchid of the empty valley. They all sigh at the elegance of their knowledge and the nobility of their morality, not merging with the world, and being good to themselves.
Si also thought that such praise was not exaggerated.
No wonder, if he could play such an elegant and pleasant song, he really wouldn't think of others!
He was also the champion of the Golden Palace Emperor, and at the age of sixteen, he was named on the gold list, and at the age of eighteen, he was appointed by the emperor to become the crown prince of the prince at that time, and became the most popular teacher of the prince at that time. It was only later that the crown prince was deposed and died, and Yixian's career was also blocked.
A few years later, the imperial court took pity on Yixian's talent and wanted to reuse Yixian, but he would rather be a little doctor in this Taixue Hall and teach and educate people than enter the officialdom again.
It's not that I can't understand his feelings, it's just that this matter is someone else's private matter after all, and I don't want to say anything.
I was thinking about whether to take this opportunity to visit Yat Sen, but I heard a student say that he seemed to be meeting guests at the moment, thinking that it was still inconvenient to disturb, and he would find a chance to visit next time.
At noon, the bell rang for the end of class, and I completed today's task very well.
The students expressed their love for me, hoping that I could continue to teach them next time, if the students were them, I would be happy to be tight, thinking that next time I would let Yang Anyuan and them go to Guozijian's side, and I would just come here to teach directly.
After saying goodbye to the students, I went out, thinking that I would go to the tavern outside for lunch, and in the afternoon I could do some pleasant things, humming a little tune, and my heart was happy.
"My lord, what a coincidence!"
Behind him, a familiar voice came, wasn't that a small bowl?
When I looked, he was really here, wearing a green robe, his waist was tied with a tassel, and his head was wrapped in a turban, and this body, coupled with his already handsome face, was like a handsome son of a family, more charming than when he wore a eunuch uniform, it was really eye-catching!
I was overjoyed to meet Xiao Wan'er here, and after helping me with the medicine that time, my knee injury healed really quickly, and I was able to jump around in two days. Although I told Xiaowan'er that if there is a medical book you want to read in the future, you can come to me, but I haven't seen him since then.
I also went to the Tai Hospital with a few medical books and thank-you gifts to look for him, but unfortunately he seemed to be very busy, and he never saw each other, so the things were handed over to him, and since he accepted the position of Taifu, he is not as free as before to move around, so I haven't seen Xiaowan'er for some days.
Why don't you make me happy to meet here today?!
Seeing him coming out of the Taixue Pavilion, isn't he Yixian's guest or the imperial doctor of the king?
"Yo, little bowl, we're really destined!"
I looked at him happily, and when he saw that I was not serious again, he gave me a blank look, but he also walked up to me in a proper manner and bowed.
"My lord, are you here to teach the scriptures today?"
"Well, yes. You're here today, and you want to come too, right?"
I nodded, my smile still on my face.
Although I am a casual person, I still understand the etiquette of officialdom, otherwise I would have to be said to be out of place. It's just that I talk to Xiao Wan'er very casually, and I don't have to worry about those false courtesies at all, which is one of the reasons why I like to talk to Xiao Wan'er very much.
Xiao Wan'er was stunned for a moment when she heard me mention the Imperial Doctor, and then said with a smile:
"That's true, today I accompanied Imperial Doctor Wang to the Taixue Pavilion to ask for a safe pulse for students, but I don't want to meet adults by chance!"
"Oh, I see, are you going back to the palace now?"
I'm thinking about it, anyway, I have nothing to do in the afternoon, wouldn't it be better to find a small bowl to play with?
"The royal doctor said that it is rare for old people to meet, and they will return to the palace later. Allow me to go out to do some shopping and return to the palace on time!"
I was so happy to hear this, this is really right in the middle!
"Haha, great, great!"
Little Bowl stared at me suspiciously, as if she had seen through what I was thinking, waiting for me to show my fox tail!
Looking at his look of anticipation, how could I let him down?
"Well, I heard that there is a temple fair today......
I was still halfway through my sentence, and Ah Zheng's boy didn't know how to get out, and as he ran towards me, he shouted loudly:
"Childe, Childe......"
Seeing that he was running out of breath, there must be something in a hurry to tell me, right?
Xiao Wan'er looked at Ah Zheng with some curiosity, and I hurriedly explained:
"This is my retinue, Ah Zheng!"
Ah Zheng saw that there was a handsome and extraordinary son standing next to his son-in-law, thinking that he was a literati doctor in general, so he hurriedly lowered his head and bowed, and said:
"Ah Zheng is giving this son a gift!"
It's really worthy of me □□ it, so polite, it really gives me a long face, haha!
Xiao Wan'er didn't seem to expect that Ah Zheng was actually more reliable than his master, so he looked at him a few more times with appreciation, looked at me again, and gave Ah Zheng a salute with a smile.
I'm not happy, that expression, do you want to say that I'm not as good as Ah Zheng?
