Zeng Fan started his teaching life in the college, and followed Zeng Yi and Brother Hao to school every day, but he was a mentor. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Zeng Fan has been a gentleman in the countryside for a year and a half, and he is also a personal disciple of Li Xiucai, so he is no stranger to teaching. The mountain chief is also a wonderful person, and he directly handed over a class that he had just accepted into this year, so that he would not die, Zeng Yi and Brother Hao were also in this class.
Zeng Yi and Brother Hao'er became under great pressure. They were embarrassed to fish again, and of course they hadn't touched fish before. And this time it's not the big brother and brother-in-law, but the husband.
For other classmates, Zeng Fan is also a legend. You know, even if these people only came in this year. But I also know that the more than 20 people in the previous class were only admitted to the three of them, even if he was the worst, they had also passed the test.
Moreover, there are not many civilian children in this academy, most of them are official families, and they can receive a little wind to some extent, since they know that Zeng Fan has entered the master's mansion the first day, this is not trivial, and naturally everyone is full of expectations.
Zeng Fan didn't think about who he was going to press, he knew the level of Zeng Yi and Brother Hao, but he didn't know the others, the first class was the exam, and the exam questions were the questions of their palace exams. The time was not given that long, and when he was done, he sat down, took a book, and slowly copied it himself.
Everyone looked up at him, and he could actually copy a copy of "University", shouldn't this book be familiar with it? But he was still copying and reading silently, and it could be seen that he was reading very seriously, and the words were also stroked by stroke, which made the children in front of him look stupid.
And Brother Hao and Zeng Yi calmed down this time, and hurriedly lowered their heads and hurriedly wrote, the time was not as much as the palace test, they didn't dare to waste it.
Finally, the bell rang for the end of class, Zeng Fan woke up like a dream, he silently finished writing that sentence, glanced at it, and then raised his head.
"Put the roll on the table, and you're good to go."
Zeng Fan saw that everyone didn't move, and smiled at everyone, "Because I don't know your level, I don't have homework today, you can go back and look at the books you are not familiar with." ”
"Are you not familiar with college?"
"No, but sometimes, rewatching, recopying, there will be new feelings. I feel this way every time I read a book. So I will copy it very carefully, and then carefully record the thoughts. It would really work. Zeng Fan gave them the university he had just copied, and the big characters were the original books, but there were still small characters on the side. It should be his thoughts at this time.
"Is this the gentleman's method of learning?"
"No, I copy books because I want to practice calligraphy and make some money by the way. However, I got a lot out of copying books, so I kept them. Look at that little fat man, he has the ability to copy it once, and he can memorize it. In the past few years, we have been eliminating this problem with him, we are not asking you to memorize it, we want you to read it through. Zeng Fan glared at his brother-in-law.
"Brother-in-law, I'm not fat anymore." Brother Hao, who is tall and tall, stands up, but he is the tallest among them, Li Ping has not been fed in vain all these years, and he has been growing since he drew a strip, and now he really doesn't look like a scholar.
"Don't underestimate him, now that his sister is fine, she will randomly pull out a book for him to memorize, and he will still remember. In memory, learn from him. Zeng Fan smiled and pointed at Zeng Yi, "This is my younger brother, his memory is not as good as Brother Hao'er, but he is diligent." His articles are very disciplined and will never be used indiscriminately. Also, there is not a single extra word in his article. If you say 300 words, it will be 300 words, and there will be no waste words, which is very remarkable. ”
Everyone greeted each other one by one, and now everyone is a classmate, although it has been together for two or three months before, but now it is a formal ceremony.
They have now surrendered to Zeng Fan unconsciously, Zeng Fan was reading the papers in front of him in the afternoon, and Zeng Fan commented one by one. Everyone listened below, he said very carefully, twenty students, he did not generalize, sentence by sentence comment, when commenting on their articles, in fact, he also gave them the topic thoroughly, and everyone also knew that they knew their gains and losses.
Reading to them, in fact, what can the masters teach? It's just a matter of constantly asking them to write articles, and then checking and filling in the gaps. He used to read miscellaneous books, and he would see what they lacked in their articles, and he would give him a list of books and suggest that he read them.
Zeng Fan commented for three days, and after speaking, there would be some gentlemen standing behind, and on the last day, even the mountain chief came, and everyone didn't speak, just listened to his commentary.
At the end of the third day, Zeng Fan was ready to get off work, and the mountain chief called him over.
"You didn't tell me how much silver you want a year." After the mountain chief asked him to sit down, he asked with a chuckle.
Zeng Fan was stunned for a moment, he came to teach and wanted silver, but he really didn't know that he didn't ask this, but thinking about it, he really didn't ask, because the general gentleman's Shu Xiu was given first, he had been teaching for three days, and he hadn't received the money.
The mountain chief looked at him stunned, but smiled, and he guessed that he had forgotten it. took out an envelope and gently pushed it in front of him, "Anyway, I'm also from a Jinshi, don't go to my wife to do embroidery work." ”
Zeng Fan was a little shy, before he was at Li Xiucai's place, Shu Xiu was accepted by Li Xiucai, he didn't face those students and copied books for the college, but it was a clear price, and he didn't have any burden. Now when he sees an envelope, he knows that it is a silver ticket, this, does he want to see it?
"For the average Hanlin, we give a thousand taels. But you know, their role is not to teach. I gave you five hundred taels, and I originally wanted to give you two hundred taels, but now, I think you teach well, and you can continue to teach as long as you want. The mountain chief looked at Zeng Fan with a smile.
"Thank you, and I hope to stay all the time." Zeng Fan clenched the envelope with both hands and shook it deeply at the mountain chief.
"Thank you too, you will be a very good gentleman." The mountain chief smiled and waved at him, signaling that he could go.
Zeng Fan bowed again and retreated. Brother Hao and Zeng Yi were waiting there outside the door, and they wanted to go home together.
Ding Tong didn't hire a car, and they walked home slowly.
"Big brother, what is the mountain chief looking for you?"
"It's okay, he said I taught well, and he hoped that I could keep teaching." Zeng Fan was still quite happy, he was recognized by the mountain chief.
"How can you keep teaching, really go to the Hanlin Academy, where do you have time to teach."
"If you want time, there will always be time, as long as I don't go out of Beijing, I will have time." Zeng Fan was very calm, "Actually, I'm not teaching them, I'm learning by myself." I've learned a lot on my own in the past few days. So, what is knowledge? It is a continuous process of repeated learning. ”
"Second brother-in-law, really, you are very suitable to be a gentleman, and you are really similar to a gentleman." Brother Hao also smiled, he also felt that his brother-in-law was more suitable to be a gentleman, so sitting in the classroom and teaching and educating people was the most suitable for his life.
