Chapter 423: The Contest Begins
The boat didn't leave the dock today, so the door to the first floor was never closed. Anyone who comes in has to fill in their name on the sign-in sheet. The person in charge of this even forgot how much paper he used.
In the center of the first floor of the painting boat, a few months ago was a portrait of Princess Huanting, but now there are two rows of tables and chairs facing each other. Behind a row of desks, there are children about ten years old, and on the other side, there are many young people.
Rong Bai stood in the center of the field, and across from her, stood a young man in a blue shirt.
The young man shook his fan and nodded gently.
After receiving the signal, Rong Bai straightened his waist: "This time, the two academies are friendly exchanges, which are divided into seven items, etiquette, music, archery, royalty, calligraphy, mathematics, and strategy. Best-of-seven wins. ”
"Bow, this is something that has to be cultivated for a long time." In the private room upstairs, Mr. He Ting stroked his beard: "The children in the academy are still young, and I am afraid that they will lose this first game." ”
Wen Wan lay next to Wuyin: "If you lose, you lose, it's just some ignorant and superfluous content." ”
Silent nodded.
Mr. He Ting and You Ang both had different colors on their faces, and there was no way, because etiquette was something that literati had to pay attention to. Imagine that at the end of the previous dynasty, when the etiquette and music collapsed, it was as terrible as it was, how could it become a stupid and superfluous thing in front of these people in front of you?
"It's not a bad thing to not stick to etiquette, but if there is no etiquette, the world doesn't know what the chaos will be." Mr. He Ting couldn't help but speak.
Wen Wan disagreed.
This etiquette, in addition to those cumbersome things, also has a large part of the legal content. In this era, many of the legal provisions of her previous life have been turned into moral constraints that people have to abide by.
"The six arts of the gentleman, only those who have been systematically educated by the imperial examination are qualified to study, and most people don't know this, Mr. He Ting, you say, what only high-level intellectuals know, how can it bring changes to the world?" Speak gently.
Mr. Horting really couldn't answer.
"Second, among the six arts of the gentleman, except for one-third of the rites that are useful, the rest are just things that worship ghosts and gods, Mr. He Ting, none of the people who came out of Linjiang County believe in ghosts and gods."
Mr. Horting sighed.
Yes, none of the people who came out of Linjiang County believed in ghosts and gods. After the disaster in Linjiang County, it was useless to pray to God and worship Buddha, and their grain was bought from the granary of the world by Rong Bai and the people who led the people to suppress the bandits. The plague was cured by Dr. Baili and a group of Langzhong. The house was built by everyone, and the children were sent to the academy together.
Everyone knows that in the entire Linjiang, there is not a single thing that is given by God.
No, there are still gifts, for example, drought, plague.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that the people of Linjiang County have no faith. After all, after the disaster, the people who led them did not have the so-called faith.
Rong Bai's academy doesn't pay much attention to etiquette, so the right to ask questions is directly in the hands of Yun Xian. Yun Xian is not embarrassed by everyone, he knows the state of the students of Egret Academy, he is usually arrogant like anything, but in fact, his ability is not very strong. However, their opponents are really not vigilant.
The person sent by the Beijing Academy to answer the question was a child who was only ten years old. Even with a serious expression, people really can't pay attention to it.
"Why is Liu Ziheng that little old-fashioned." Silent lying on the edge of the window, his voice complaining.
Most of the children in the academy are lively and cheerful, smart and clever. However, Liu Ziheng is an outlier among them. However, he was the most pleasing child of the gentlemen of the college.
"If anyone in the academy is still interested in etiquette, only Ziheng is the only one." Wen Wan was very impressed by several outstanding children in the academy.
"Ziheng is a good child." Seeing Ziheng on the field, Mr. He Ting also nodded.
He wasn't worried at all about these teenage children facing those young people, after all, the children who came out of Linjiang, although they were young, their ability to systematically learn knowledge was not comparable to ordinary people who studied hard in the cold window.
The rites are divided into five categories, which are the auspicious and evil army Binjia.
The questions are also divided into five questions, one for each of them. Rong Bai handed over the way of asking questions to Yun Xian, but the questions that Yun Xian came up with were somewhat distinctive. The two debated, convincing the other party to win.
This should be a fair question.
Wu Yin and Wen Wan, who were sitting in the private room, lit up their eyes when they heard the question.
"This guy is really interesting, much more interesting than the others." Silent and Wen Wan spoke at the same time.
Rong Bai, who was standing below, also glanced at Yun Xian involuntarily.
The man shook a feather fan and looked at the two people sitting on the futon in the center of the venue after the ancient rites were saluted.
"I thought that your children were young and not proficient in these, but I didn't expect that there were really children who were proficient in this." Yun Xian leaned over to Rong Bai and smiled and spoke.
Rong Bai retracted his gaze and hugged his arm: "I actually don't think this thing is useful, but he likes to flip these things, and I can't help it." ”
What Rong Bai said is not an exaggeration at all, the main members of Linjiang are basically science students, and Hengqing, the only liberal arts student, does not have much status in the hearts of the children.
However, Liu Ziheng is an exception, this product is a complete liberal arts student, and he is very biased. Piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs, he can beat all his classmates, but a single math can make him kneel to death.
So, this thing doesn't like math, doesn't like classes, and usually stays in the library when he has nothing to do. The liberal arts books in the college library have basically been read.
So much so that no matter how sad those gentlemen were, they had to admit that this thing was so smart that people couldn't bear to let go.
Between the two, one asked a question and the other answered, and soon Ziheng's children were a little stretched.
"After all, there is no systematic education, and it is really not good for children to summarize and organize by themselves." Wen Wan saw upstairs that Ziheng was led by the nose and left. Although she couldn't understand what the two of them were talking about, it could be seen from Ziheng's expression that Ziheng was struggling.
Moreover, Ziheng took longer and longer to answer the questions, and finally couldn't answer.
The young man standing opposite Ziheng had a dark blue at the corner of his mouth. When the little boy couldn't speak, he stood up and clenched his fists casually: "Accept it." ”
The little boy did not look good, but he still saluted politely and walked behind him.
"This first inning is conceded." Although Yun Xian said so, he didn't look at the little boy with contempt at all. He could imagine that if the boy was fifteen or sixteen years old, he would not be able to please his side.
