The matter of opening a bookstore is just an idea for the time being, and with a few pieces of paper drawn in circles, it is impossible to open it for a while.

At the moment, the main point is still on reading. Therefore, the general rule of life is to rush to the classroom after the morning exercise every day with the books to be taught that day, and shrink in the last corner, like a child shaking his head and reading.

This was followed by a class of "Sutra Chuan", which was taught by a special gentleman at the school, and it ended around the end of the day. After that, there was a break of more than an hour, and Shen Shi had another art class, and the rest of the time was at his disposal. There are no specific restrictions other than not being allowed to leave the school casually.

Of course, the so-called "six arts of gentlemen", this vacated time, if they are willing, students can also choose to catch up with their interests in the "extracurricular electives". Compared with most people who chose "association", Chen Ji chose the "shooting" art out of the intention of reasonably approaching Song Qingming and a few people.

The scriptures are all about the Four Books and the Five Classics, as well as the related commentaries and explanations of the major masters of the past dynasties, such as the "Commentary on the Four Books".

After a period of government education, Chen Ji clearly understood that if he wanted to follow the career path, he must read the books such as "Four Books Collection Notes", "Filial Piety Classics", "Primary Schools", "Five Classics" Commentary, "Zhou Li", "Etiquette", "Spring and Autumn Legend", "Chinese", "Chengguo Policy", "Sexual Theory", "Selected Literature", "Eight Family Anthology", "Article Authenticity" and so on. According to the normal steps, it will take at least three or more years to read these books, and I dare not say that I can really read them to become more familiar.

According to the nature of the "old traces", there is not much left about the content of these books, which is equivalent to the fact that the old traces almost need to be restarted!

The only thing to be thankful for is that today's soul has also experienced a variety of exams, although I don't know how to read, after all, the experience of the exam has accumulated a lot, two years, I should be able to strive for something, but it can't be, so wait for the next session. The goal that Chen Ji gave himself was just a person's identity. The promoter of Dazhao already has the qualifications to be an official, which is equivalent to an "alternate official", as for how long the "alternate" is, it depends on which layer of silver it goes.

These are all afterthoughts, so I won't repeat them for the time being.

Chen Ji is most concerned about the two-hour art class every day, that is, the "Composition Rules Explanation Class", and he listens carefully and takes detailed notes in each class. In order to facilitate shorthand, he brought a few goose feathers, and every time he brushed the record, he had to suffer a large circle of white eyes, and even the gentleman who taught after class directly called him to talk, and the problem once rose to a relatively high level. Later, after several attempts, Chen Ji made a long "bamboo tube pen", sharpened the goose feather as the tip of the pen, and no longer frequently dipped in ink, and it looked not as conspicuous as a simple quill pen. Thinking of his past reputation, the gentlemen also turned a blind eye. Of course, every time the handwriting of the article is handed in, the gentlemen will carefully compare it.

Chen Ji actually didn't dare to mess around with this, after all, the handsome handsome words in the exam would also add a lot of points, so in addition to shorthand, he still practiced calligraphy seriously. Moreover, the simple "bamboo pen" spits ink seriously, and it will stain the notes if you are not careful, and it is not suitable for writing the "homework" that you have handed in.

Although Chen Ji has learned about the imperial examination in various official histories, it was only after he really came into contact with him that he realized the perversion of this system from his soul, and he more deeply understood how difficult it was for the ancients to study and take the Jinshi examination. In the end, I can understand why it is so difficult for talented bigwigs such as Liu Sanbian and Li Taibai to find an official position.

Therefore, he is really serious about reading. This time I went to school, and I brought all the books I bought on the street with Xiao Ran that day, and I also brought Chen Xiujie's "Emperor Ming Shi Wending" neatly. Because the book chosen by Chen Ji before the children's examination was "Spring and Autumn", he carried a lot of relevant books as long as he had them at home. At least in terms of attitude and behavior, he looks like a reader. As for the corpses of these books lying in the schoolhouse, he can't be blamed, after all, it was the books that moved first.

……

At the end of the day's schoolwork, Chen Ji left the school with a small notebook under his arm. Through the long corridor, turned into the school building area located at the back of the school, in front of the moon door dug out of the courtyard wall, Chen Ji stood still, looked at the many students gathered in his room, the corners of his mouth pulled, and muttered: "It's really not idle for a moment." ”

Listening to the faint discussions, there were a lot of "unmatched" faces, and I knew with my knees that someone must have taken advantage of his absence to make any small moves, so someone came up to watch the excitement.

The small courtyard in front of me is full of spontaneous and sincere inner class students, and there is a father who is an official behind them, and the tutors are not very impressive.

Someone noticed him walking over, and each pulled his friend next to him to get out of the way, looking at him with a look of banter in his eyes. Chen Ji walked over slowly, and when he saw everyone, he gave a smile, and didn't forget to ask: "You classmates are so interested, today's after-school homework is completed, and you all have time to come to my house?" ”

Occasionally, I also gave a few dodging glances, probably a poor person who was wrapped up in people to watch the excitement, of course, it wasn't really out of guilt for him, but I was just worried that I would bring bad luck to my father because of my participation in watching the excitement. Although Chen Xiujie is only in charge of the general judgment of the criminal and prison proceedings and the grain storage tax, in the end he is also the person in the third chair of the first house, and the official reputation has always been very good, but no one dares to guarantee that he will not wear small shoes for some people because he is angry for helping his son.

Chen Ji smiled at the corner of his lips, and after walking a few steps, he saw that the door of his school house had been kicked open, the books were scattered all over the ground, the bedding on the bed was a mess, and there were even indescribable filth in some places.

Chen Jiding stood at the door, sighed, shook his head, and said, "Really...... Well done. ”

The onlookers were stunned in place, and they all felt that they didn't match the rumored son of the Chen family.

Chen Ji turned around and looked at many classmates, "Everyone is a student of the same place, and I can't say that I will meet in the officialdom in the future...... I really didn't expect to receive such care so early, Chen really has mixed feelings......" said, as if talking to everyone, and as if talking to himself, "It's really, it's beautiful, but since you want to play, Chen will accompany you to play!" If you play, you won't have a chance to get off! ”

On the other side of the Moon Gate, Song Qingming walked over with two small followers, glanced at the situation in the house, frowned, and asked, "Have you told Mr." ”

Chen Ji laughed: "Why do you want to say it? If you can't fight a fight, you cry and tell the teacher and your parents, is that what the husband did? ”

Song Qingming snorted and didn't bother to speak.

Chen Ji smiled, leaned over and hugged Song Qingming's shoulder, "Since you're here, you'll help clean it up?" Then he looked at Zhu Chenghu and the two, and said with a smile, "The two good brothers also helped together." ”

The sentient beings who watched the play moved out of the way one after another, probably because of Song Qingming's identity.

"Don't wring your eyebrows, it's ugly." Chen Ji let go of Song Qingming and looked at Zhu Chenghu who was shrinking behind.

"Know who did it?" Song Qingming frowned and asked.

Chen Ji asked rhetorically, "Why are you here?" ”

Song Qingming took a few steps out of the way and said coldly: "I'm here to see the excitement." ”

Chen Ji was not annoyed, glanced at the house, and said, "I'll pack up first, you go back first, and I'll go to you tomorrow ......."

After that, he handed the booklet, inkstone, and bamboo pen in his hand to Song Qingming, rolled up his sleeves and entered the house.

Song Qingming stood in place and looked at it, didn't go in to help, turned around and left, Zhu Chenghu and the two hesitated for a moment, confessed to Chen Ji, and turned around to catch up with Song Qingming. Zhu Chenghu said tentatively, "Brother Ming, you can't mess around!" ”

The corners of Song Qingming's mouth twitched, and he sighed: "How can I mess around?" Looking back at the school with the oil lamp lit up, his brows furrowed, this world, readers, heh......

Chen Ji carefully put away the messy book, wiped it clean, a pair of Confucian sleeves have been embellished with a cloud of stains, in the muddy lamplight, inexplicably uncomfortable, staring at the word "etiquette" on the white strip, and said leisurely: "Comrade Chen, this is the way you don't give up!" ”

"With such a capable father as you, I really don't know if it's lucky or unfortunate." Chen Ji took the bookcase over, put the cleaned "Etiquette" into it, squatted down and picked up a "Book of Filial Piety", pulled his sleeve and wiped it again, not forgetting to take two breaths, "It's really a good reading seed." ”

In the dim oil lamp, accompanied by a lingering stench, the figure in the room did not stand up for a long time, looking a little lonely.

This day is the thirty-seventh day that Chen Ji has come to Qingzhou Mansion to study. In this short period of time, it can be regarded as being kind to people everywhere, and after a few days of careful thinking, there are still some things leaking out of the teeth to raise wild cats that jump over the wall. On the contrary, what happened to him became more and more excessive.

At first, it was just a small fight, or breaking the desks and chairs in his class, or splashing some ink in his room, or meeting two mouthfuls of spit on the road, or arranging a few of his words in groups...... Before, he directly broke into the room to destroy and spill, which was expected and unexpected. Chen Ji thought that they would not give up, but he did not expect that it would be such a trivial method. This is a method that the "old traces" with bad deeds disdained at the beginning.

Scholar......

Scold......

Chen Ji sat on the ground, his hands and ten fingers crossed in front of his knees, the oil lamp was about to go out, he laughed playfully, "Chen Ji, even if you offended the scholars in Manqingzhou before, you should pay it off now...... In the future, there is no reason to ask someone to block me, you say, right? ”

The oil lamp went out, and in the dark, Chen Ji got up, patted his buttocks, and walked out with a bookcase, with a pungent smell lingering around him......

The moonlight scattered in the stains on the robes and dimmed.
