Chapter 298: This is not a loss

Crown hat, wearing on the head is actually uncomfortable, but after a long time, wearing it should be used to it, if you become an official in the future, the hat is even more essential, the official hat of the Song Dynasty, called the head, "Qi" sound the same as "house".

The tradition of wearing hats has actually been around for a long time, but the style of the hat is probably from the Sui Dynasty, and the Han people before the Ming Dynasty in the ancient paintings will wear the hat, with a soft head, a round head, and a hard-shell square head.

In the Song Dynasty, there was a difference in the shape of the official hat, and the official hat would often add long wings on the left and right, that is, the two wing-like things that came out of the hat on the left and right in the portrait, and the kind that would sway left and right when walking.

The reason why the Song Dynasty had such long hat wings was because the emperor didn't want to see the officials in the court talking left and right, so he added two long things, and the court stood in a row. The word black gauze hat also comes from here.

A gentleman should walk properly, for this, the ancients had a lot of etiquette, but not just the hat wings, such as the ring worn by the ancients, that is, a string of jade pendants hung around the waist, such as wind chimes, if you walk upright, the sound of the ring will be rhythmic and good, if you go fast, or swing left and right, the ring will be a mess, this is a loss of etiquette, the ring is to remind you to walk well.

Because there have been some interesting things happening in the waist ring, there was once a courtier in the Ming Dynasty, somehow, his own rings were hung with the emperor's rings, and they couldn't be untied, and when they were in the court, they couldn't be rude to untie, so scared that this courtier almost fainted when the court, and because of this incident, this courtier almost didn't save his life, but in the end it didn't happen.

Even the bead curtain before and after the emperor's crown hat is also this function, always reminding the emperor to correct his posture, not to the left and slanted, to maintain majesty all the time, otherwise the bead curtain in front of the hat will also sway from side to side, and it will jingle, which is also rude.

It can be seen how high the requirements were to be a gentleman in ancient times.

The crown ceremony is the coming-of-age ceremony, Gan Qi who went out with a hat has been an adult since then, and because of such a hat, many things have changed a lot, not only Gan Qi's own inner change, but also the change in his attitude.

Even in the title of Gan Qi, the subordinates will rarely use the title of son or young master, and Gan Qi has since become the master, the master, and even the master.

The mountain is not high, there is a fairy then the name, in the past, this small mound behind Ganjia Village outside Bianliang City, not even a name, now it has been taken a name, called "Shuyuan Mountain", it seems to be called a scenic spot.

There are countless people who sign up for school, except for those who are in the big families, where are there free schools that are open to everyone?

It's just that the exam questions in this school are a little strange, and the classics of history are also tested, but in addition to these, they also test arithmetic, and they don't stop taking arithmetic, but also test some strange questions.

For example: A suspect was arrested in the yamen, but it was found that the suspect turned out to be a deaf and dumb person, but this person was seriously suspicious, and the head catcher said a word, so he tried to find out that this person was pretending to be deaf and dumb, what words might the head catcher say?

The answer to this question does not have to be considered too rigorously, just ask what words the yacha may have said to make the person who pretends to be deaf and dumb exposed, of course, there will not be only one answer, this question is the exam question of the third court.

The ability to reason logically is something that Gan Qi values very much, and it is also one of the easiest ways to identify whether a person is pedantic or not.

Li Ding was on the side, and when he saw Gan Qi coming up with this question, he smiled and said, "Sir, the student has an answer to this question." ”

"Tell me about it." Gan Qi laughed.

Li Ding replied: "If a student comes to ask this person, when he is not paying attention, he suddenly shouts behind him and scares him, and see if he will be frightened by the sound when he is not guarded." ”

Gan Qi nodded: "It's also a clever plan, and it has a certain feasibility." But this question only says that this Yacha has tried to find a flaw in one sentence, what kind of sentence should it be? ”

Li Dingyan thought about it when he heard this, and suddenly said happily: "Sir, the student has another answer." If the student is the head catcher, he should untie the person, bring him to the yamen hall, and then say to him, you are no longer suspicious, you can go. When he speaks, he does not add any movements and expressions, if he is an ordinary person, he will be happy for a while, bow down, and turn his head away. This is where the flaws are revealed. ”

"This answer is very good, if it is an ordinary person, it will definitely be tricked." Ganchi complimented.

Li Ding was very happy, and with Gan Qi's exam questions, he went out to arrange the printing and prepare to arrange the exam.

This question is the two or three thousand students of Gan Qi, these people have all applied for the academy, how many people can enter the academy, depending on this question, I am afraid that it is difficult to guarantee one out of ten.

Fortunately, Gan Qi still goes to the first courtyard from time to time to give lectures, which can be regarded as teaching. If you can enter the third court, you will probably be equal to a disciple of the inner court, and if you can enter the fourth court, you will already be a person with a reputation, and you can be regarded as a personal disciple, which is the mainstay.

There is no need to take the test in the fourth college, and those who have a reputation for raising their names can go directly to study for free. This is also Gan Qi's trust in the imperial examination of the Song Dynasty, the examination questions of the imperial examination of the Song Dynasty are still extremely pragmatic, and those who can pass the examination have surpassed the vast majority of people in this era. What Gan Qi has to do is to teach these people some different knowledge and ideas, but also to broaden the horizons of these people, and to instill some logical ways of thinking in these people.

The examination is in full swing, and those who are admitted are naturally happy, but once they enter the second college, they are eligible to go to the library to read and copy books, and the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone are provided by the academy, which is a treatment that all the academies in the world do not have. The books in the library are the biggest attraction of this academy for ordinary students.

The students of the Third Academy and the Fourth Academy also have a job, that is, to copy books for the library for free, many of Hu Ming's books are unique books in themselves, and some books are annotated by the sages and Confucians of the past dynasties, these books cannot be directly read by so many people at will, so they have to copy some copies, and even take some copies to make engravings to print, so as to meet the demand.

This is also a great project, and it is also a merit for the blessing of future generations.

On the second day after the exam, Gan Qi hadn't gotten up yet, and Gan Ba shouted at the door: "Big brother, big brother, come out and see." ”

Gan Qi got up and went out to see it with sleepy eyes, and the scene in front of him also shocked Gan Qi, who had seen a lot of the world.

At the door of my house, at a glance, there are gift boxes and gift bags all over the ground, and I can't see the end at a glance, so I just pile up to the entrance of the village.

Gan Ba also smiled and said: "Big brother, I got rich this time, I'll go and find out if there is any bacon last time." ”

At this time, Gan Qi was also very moved in his heart, and the academy enrolled seven or eight hundred students this time, all of which were free. These gift boxes and gift bags in front of you, how many are seven or eight hundred?

In some gift bags, there are more than a dozen eggs, or two or three catties of grain, or a few pheasants and hares, or a stack of good rice paper, half a catty of salt, and a few taels of tea......

In some gift bags, mutton fat jade pendant, purple wolf pen, Xizhou inkstone, and even the best silk silk in the south of the Yangtze River, the weaving and embroidery of Shudi......

Gan Qi smiled and watched Gan Ba keep moving people to his home, and there were posts sent to Gan Qi one by one.

The words in the post are all words of gratitude.

Gan Qi took a few stacks of posts, returned to the study, and muttered, "This thing is not a loss." ”
