Chapter 25 Entrance Ceremony
The door opened, and a medium-sized male teacher in a brick-red shirt stood in the doorway. He had a polite smile on his face www.biquge.info he couldn't help but feel that he didn't look like a stern gentleman.
"The freshman comes with me." The teacher's voice was beautiful, pure and magnetic.
The county school sits in the east and faces west, and the yard is amazingly large, and Qinglan feels that it can fit the entire Pan family. The east, south, and north sides of the courtyard are classrooms, and the corners are also connected, and there are wide corridors outside the classrooms, and the whole house looks uniform dark brown.
One by one, the children followed the teacher through the gate and through the brick-paved courtyard, where she could hear the noise coming from the surrounding houses—the other students had already arrived in their classrooms.
The line of freshmen stopped at the foot of the steps of the east classroom, and the children huddled together, standing in a dense group, looking around nervously.
"Don't be nervous," Teacher Zhang showed a reassuring smile, "The contemptible surname is Zhang, and in the future, he will be the main person in charge of your husband in the Mei class." ”
"What does Mr. Zhang teach?" A stocky little fat man asked quickly.
"History," Mr. Zhang replied good-naturedly, "Before I start the class, I must explain the rules of the school to everyone clearly. ”
Teacher Zhang cleared his throat, "First, from today on, you are the students in the county school, and your words and deeds always represent the dignity of the scholar and the honor of the school, so you must be cautious in your words and deeds, and there will never be fights, stealing chickens and dogs in the school!" You are the sons of the saints, and you must always keep the word "cautious" in mind! ”
Teacher Zhang glanced at the students, saw them standing honestly, was satisfied, and continued: "Second, I think you can come in and study, you and your families have put in great efforts. If you don't follow the rules of the school, you will be severely punished, think more about your parents and brothers in case of trouble, don't do irreparable consequences on the spur of the moment, let yourself regret it for life. ”
"Of course, there will be great rewards for your excellent grades. And starting from this year," Teacher Zhang glanced at Ding Xiaobao in the crowd, "The school has also set up another inspirational scholarship to award students who place fourth to tenth in the exam, I hope you will take advantage of it." ”
"Thirdly, classes start at the hour of the day and end at noon, with a half-hour lunch break in between. In the afternoon, there is no time to go to class, when the school is dismissed, it is not allowed to be late and leave early, it is not allowed to skip class, you must complete the homework assigned by your husband on time, and you must take a day off every ten days, if you need to ask for leave, you must have parents and elders come in person, and explain the reason to me before you can be allowed to leave. ”
"Finally, I am very happy to be your teacher, and I hope that you will study hard, study hard, and win glory for yourself and your family!"
As soon as Teacher Zhang finished speaking, Qinglan couldn't help but applaud, but after a few pats, she realized that something was wrong, and the freshmen looked at her like fools.
Ding Xiaobao's eyes widened with an expression of disbelief: What are you doing?
And Li Shisan, who was next to him, turned his face slightly, it was too embarrassing.
Qinglan lowered her hand in disdain, bit her lower lip and lowered her head. Get used to... Damn, shame on you...
"This is Shan Chang Chen in our school," Teacher Zhang didn't seem to notice the small movements in the students' pile, and continued to introduce to everyone, "Please give everyone a few words." ”
Qinglan looked up, and then noticed that at some point, there was a short and chubby little old man standing next to Teacher Zhang, with slightly drooping eyes and a pair of amber glasses hanging on the bridge of his nose, like Cuicui's mother-in-law in the little dragon man, with a goatee, gray hair and beard, and several folds on his cheeks when he spoke.
"Students..."Chen Shanchang's speech was written in Zou Zou's, the words and sentences were neat, four and six li, to the effect that he welcomed the new students and encouraged everyone to study hard, "Everything is inferior, only reading is high..."
Although I don't want to admit it, as the number of people Qinglan comes into contact with gradually increases, and the more she understands this society, the more worried she is about her future path. The whole social environment is like this, and so is the atmosphere, which wants to change - she looked around, and the freshmen listened with high morale and pride in their little breasts - alas, there is still a long way to go!
Ding Xiaobao grimaced when she saw her coming, and Qinglan quickly turned her eyes to look at him, afraid that she would laugh.
Li Shisan also saw it, with a face: Ye really doesn't want to know your expression.
After the mountain chief finished speaking, he led the new students to the middle room on the east side, where there were already people waiting there, and it was the seniors.
The room is not large, with chairs on both sides, and a statue of Confucius hangs on the wall in the middle, and the case in front of the statue has been cleaned. If it is a Buddhist shrine, it should usually be placed with some melons, fruits, tea and sugar, but on this case, red beans and red dates, celery and lotus seeds, longan and lean jerky are placed - these are supposed to be the six rites of cultivation presented by students to the teacher.
Chen Shanchang stood still, the ceremony officially began, he faced the new students, and sang loudly: "Dressed ~~~"
The seniors stepped forward one after another and handed out the uniforms to everyone in turn, and Qinglan took the clothes, thanked them, and hurriedly put them on—the first time she had worn them.
Qinglan was small and thin, so she didn't unbutton it, and directly lifted the robe as if she was wearing a sweater, stretched her arms into her sleeves, and drilled her body into the robe. When her head was exposed, she dragged the robe underneath, ah~ The robe was too long, she had to lift the robe up, and her legs tightly clamped the hem that grew out, so as not to mop the floor. Then the black satin coat was worn over the outside in the same way.
Li Shisan looked at some of her movements and picked the corners of his mouth speechlessly: like a big king. Poof~~~ Wear a round black satin hat, it's more like.
Teacher Zhang stepped forward and sorted out the clothes for each student.
"Worship the Ancestors~~~"
The mountain chief washed his hands and burned incense, took the lead in worshiping the great sage master Confucius, and the new students followed behind, prostrating to the portrait of Confucius nine times.
After worshipping Confucius, the mountain chief got up and stood in the middle with Mr. Zhang, and the next step should be to worship Mr.
But Mr. Bai did not let the children kowtow in this link, but just bowed in unison, which was considered a ceremony.
The students were puzzled.
"Now you are only enlightened when you go to school, and when you are fifteen years old, or you have obtained fame, and then you will worship under a famous teacher, and then you will be considered a formal apprentice. We're just guides, not formal teachers. Chen Shanchang explained to everyone.
Qinglan understands that this era is extremely respectful of teachers, and the meaning of the master is not limited to academics, but more of a leader in life, influencing students in all aspects, especially officialdom... Then whether the master chooses an apprentice or a student asks for apprenticeship, the conditions will be very harsh. Master, Master, is both a teacher and a father, and this relationship is very close. There is an emperor who has put the ten clans of a courtier, and the tenth clan is the teacher, which shows the special relationship between teachers and students, so the world is also very cautious about this matter.
"Wash your hands ~~~"
One by one, the students rolled up their sleeves and walked to the washbasin next to the desk. The sleeves of Qinglan's robe were too long, and they were worn on her like a singing sleeve, Li Shisan really couldn't stand it anymore, so he rolled her sleeves all the way to her shoulders, and Qinglan washed her hands smoothly.
"Opening Ceremony~~~"
Teacher Zhang brought a small plate containing a brush and a plate of red cinnabar.
Chen Shanchang dipped his brush in cinnabar and dotted a red mole between the students' eyebrows one by one. Mole with wisdom, not only the meaning of opening wisdom, eyes and hearts, but also the Hong (red) luck high, the grand (red) map of the lodge.
Qinglan stepped forward, looked at the brush stretched towards her, and subconsciously closed her eyes. Whew~~~ It's time to start a new course of study, it's a long way...
After worshipping Confucius, Teacher Zhang led the students out of the house and walked all the way to the north, where the door collar of the second classroom hung a seal with the word "Mei", which was the classroom where they would attend classes in the future.
The classroom was much larger than the room before, and in the middle of the head was a large bookcase, which was unsurprisingly the place of the gentleman. Ten rows of tables with six sheets in each row are neatly arranged in front of the bookcase. The table is low, and one has to sit cross-legged on the floor in front of it. There are some inspirational quotes hanging on the walls around the walls, and all the windows are wide open, which makes the classroom very well lit. It's a bit cold, though, and the wind is still cool in early spring.
Fortunately, there are mats - Qinglan is a little lucky, before school starts, the Pan family drove out six mattresses for her overnight, cotton stuffed, and a coat with rabbit fur.
Mr. Zhang was assigned seats according to the ranking of the exam, and Qinglan sat in the first row in the middle, next to Ding Xiaobao and Li Shisan.
Mom, Qinglan clasped her hands together, hoping that gentlemen don't like to spit. I don't like garlic leeks yet, Amen.
Even with plenty of snacks, the three of them were already hungry by the time school was over. Naturally, I went back to Pan's house for lunch, and as soon as I entered the dining room, the table was already full of delicious food.
Qinglan was finally able to eat normally, because her bitter medicine soup had finally been drunk. Two days before the exam, Dr. Liu was invited to check her carefully, and announced that Qinglan had basically recovered her health, the medicine could be stopped, and the food could be eaten normally, but the medicinal diet still had to be eaten often, after all, the disease had worn out Qinglan's body a lot.
The Pan family has always had no rules of eating and sleeping silently, and eating is more casual, Li Shisan was a little unaccustomed to it at first, but now when he is asked to eat, he can't taste the dishes, and he can't talk about the interesting things that happened in the lectures, so it is estimated that he should not be used to it.
A few children were eating and answering questions from their parents. The content of the inquiry is roughly what the course is like and the teacher who teaches them.
Qinglan swallowed a mouthful of spicy pork ribs and replied, "There are five classes in the morning, which are calligraphy, four books and five classics, history, essays, and writing. ”
"The teacher is good, especially that Mr. Zhang, our homeroom teacher." Ding Xiaobao swallowed a mouthful of braised lion's head, the word head teacher was taught to him by Qinglan just now.
Li 13 nodded, meaning to agree with the two of them, and the movements of his hands and mouth did not stop.
After eating, the children went back to school without a break—they hadn't had time to visit it in the morning, and it was fresh.
Before I got to the classroom, I met Teacher Zhang.
"Sir." The three children bowed to the teacher and said hello.
"Shu Qinglan, come with me." Teacher Zhang gently called out to Qinglan.
"Sir, let's go with us too." Ding Xiaobao immediately dragged Li Shisan forward.
"Hmm." Li Shisan nodded in agreement, after all, being called away by the teacher would be a good thing without the first reaction of the students.
Teacher Zhang: ...
"Are you Shu Qinglan?" Chen Shanchang carefully looked at the little girl in front of him. The little face is clean, the cheeks are faintly pink, the simple ball head, wearing a uniform school uniform, looks no different from the little boy.
"The mountain grows well." The three of them greeted each other in unison.
Didn't I just call Shu Qinglan? Chen Shanchang looked up at Teacher Zhang.
Teacher Zhang smiled awkwardly, I can't do anything about those two heels, right?
"Sit down." The mountain chief nodded kindly to the three of them and pointed to the seats in front of them.
There is only one chair.
"Let's just stand!" Ding Xiaobao pulled Li Shisan, standing behind Qinglan on the left and right, like two door gods. Qinglan glanced at the two of them and sat down.
Interesting. Chen Shanchang said secretly in his heart.
"Qinglan, you did well in the entrance exam, who did you study before?" Chen Shanchang's words gave Qinglan the feeling that he was an old man next door, chatting about ordinary family things.
"We both did very well in the exam!" Ding Xiaobao was a little unconvinced, there are more than 200 people, the master has passed the third exam!
Although Li Shisan didn't say anything, the expression on his face was that the master also did well in the exam, and those who knew each other hurriedly praised the master.
Chen Shanchang didn't seem to hear Ding Xiaobao's complaints, but just stared at Qinglan to see how she answered.
"Most of it is self-taught." Qinglan replied honestly, after a little inquiry about these things, she will know that the Shu family has no money to hire a husband for her.
"Oh... Chen Shanchang's word is a little meaningful, wasn't it taught by your county uncle, then this kid...
Can self-study be like this? Teacher Zhang was taken aback when he heard this, but his face was not obvious. So if...
"Qinglan is very smart," Chen Shanchang revealed the topic and praised Qinglan, and he laughed like an old goat. Then he asked, "Why did you come to study in school?" ”
"The teacher in the school is good." What's there to ask about this, is there anything I don't know? Qinglan flattered, "The mountain chief is also very powerful", and there will be no less meat if she says two good words.
"Hehe, I want to hear the truth." Chen Shanchang was unmoved.
Old fritters!
"That's the truth..."Qinglan tried her best to look like a normal six or seven-year-old child, "The best school in the county is here, and the teachers are naturally the best." Chen Shanchang's knowledge is naturally the best, otherwise how could he be a mountain chief. "Interesting, why embarrass my child, you don't believe it when you tell the truth, blame me?
"What, are you embarrassed?" Chen Shan was relentless.
Old fox!
"Besides..."Qinglan pretended to bow her head shyly, what answer do you want to hear?" I want to be a good official who serves the people and works for the well-being of the people. ”
"That's what I thought too!" Ding Xiaobao thought that Qinglan was embarrassed, and hurriedly helped.
Chen Shanchang smiled but did not speak, his eyes wandering back and forth over the three of them. Half-ringing, he turned his gaze to Li Thirteen, "What does Thirteen think?" “
Li 13: "I will supervise them well." ”
Harumi: Shameless...
Xiaobao: Shameless...
