Chapter 18 Jia Jing regains the idea of becoming a monk
After Yu Yuanchen left, the courtyard for him to teach became Jia Qing's self-study room, and Jia Jing's lectures were all in his own study. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Jia Zheng's study is called Mengpo Zhai, while Jia Jing's study is called Wangyue Xuan. Because of the open terrain of Mochizukiken, the moon can be clearly seen at the door of the study on a summer evening.
After entering Wangyue Xuan, before Jia Jing arrived, Jia Qing took out his notes and read them. Although he doesn't like the Four Books and Five Classics, Jia Jing wants to check his homework, and he still wants to behave better.
After watching for about a quarter of an hour, Jia Jing also came to the study. Looking at Jia Qing reading his notes seriously, how did Jia Jing feel satisfied with this little son.
After Jia Qing sensed that someone was coming, he put down his notes, and after seeing that the person who came was Jia Jing, he hurriedly got up and saluted.
"I've already told you all about "University", let's see how much you have mastered today, but are you ready?"
Calling Jia Qing, Jia Jing asked.
"Back to Father, the child is ready."
"Well, here are a few questions I have proposed, you can take them over there and do them, for a limited time." As he spoke, he handed Jia Qing a piece of paper.
Jia Qing took the paper and took it to the corner of the study, where there was a small table and a small stool, and the four treasures of the study room on the table were complete.
Flipping through the piece of paper given by Jia Jing, there were eight or nine sentences on it, all of which were the original words in "University", such as:
Those who want to cultivate their bodies must first correct their hearts; Those who want to correct their hearts must first be sincere; Those who want to be sincere in their intentions should first know it, and know it in Gewu;
A gentleman has a way, and he will be faithful to gain it, and arrogant to lose it;
The way of the university is in Mingmingde, in being close to the people, and in stopping at perfection;
......
This kind of quiz is to see how much you understand the sentences in the book, and you need to translate the original sentences in simple and understandable words in context, supplemented by examples.
The translation is not difficult, to put it simply, it is all big truths, and later generations will know it; Who wouldn't tell the truth? Besides, Jia Jing has spent nearly two months to explain to him, and the whole book of "University" is only more than 1,700 words, so he will not be able to remember it in a month? As for the example, if you know the meaning, give an example to illustrate that this is a small skill of carving insects in elementary school, and there is no standard answer.
So, it took about two-thirds of the time for him to answer them all. I used almost ten pieces of rice paper, and my hands were a little numb, and this reading was really a hard work!
Dry the answer sheet slightly, sort it out, get up and respectfully hand it to Jia Jing.
Jia Jing took it and flipped through the pages one by one.
Over the years, Jia Qing's calligraphy has been enlightened by Yu Yuanchen and guided by Jia Jing, although it is not elegant, but it is also quite impressive. In addition, the paper is neat, and all the questions have been answered. So the more Jia Jing looked at it, the brighter the smile on his face became.
"Well, you still have to practice your words!"
Just this sentence, there is no other comment, that is, everything else is very good.
Jia Qing knew that this was the reason why Jia Jing looked at his age and did not have a high standard for him. He couldn't think of a good example of three sentences for a while, and then he barely managed to make it up, and he didn't think it was very appropriate. If it were Jia Zheng who handed in this answer sheet, Jia Jing would keep every question and point out the inappropriateness to him.
"Well, the kid got it."
Jia Jing looked at his sensible and extraordinary son, and remembered that his son's knowledge was much more solid than that of children of the same age, so he had the idea of speeding up his studies.
So he said: "I want to send you to Beijing China Zijian Middle School to study, what do you think?" ā
When Jia Qing heard this, he was a little puzzled: "Why does my father think like this?" The child wants to hear about it. ā
Aren't you teaching pretty well? Isn't it good to have private free instruction from professional-level professors?
Jia Jing explained:
"I plan to finish the remaining two of the four books for you, and let you go to the academy to study the Pentateuch and the writing of the Pentateuch. Although I can also teach, I am afraid that you do not compare the whole learning process, and you do not know where your own strengths and weaknesses are compared with others, and in the long run, it is easy to go on a fork in the road.
Moreover, not only are there well-known gentlemen in the academy to teach, most of them have official positions in the court, and you can also make some classmates and friends, you must know that if you enter the officialdom in the future, your classmates and friends of the same year will be a great help to you.
The main thing is that I'm getting older, and I don't feel like I have more energy to help you with your later studies. Recently, I have been reading Taoist classics, and I am quite yearning for the way, I plan to let you achieve fame as soon as possible, and I will be liberated as soon as possible......"
Listening to Jia Jing in the end, Jia Qing was very sad. Jia Jing is preparing to become a Taoist priest, and without his support, Jia Qing's plan in Jiafu will be ten times more difficult!
"Doesn't my father want children? The child didn't want to go to the country to study, so he wanted to listen to his father's teachings. ā
Jia Qing took a step forward, knelt in front of the sitting Jia Jing, hugged Jia Jing's legs, and made a final stay.
Jia Jing stroked Jia Qing's back lovingly, and replied with a smile: "Silly child, how could my father not want you, you will always be a good son of your father...... It's just that the eagle always has to learn to fly alone, and you can't stay by my side all the time. But don't be sad, you can come home often when you arrive at the academy in the future, and it's not far away. ā
Listening to the meaning of Jia Jing's words, he would not wait for him to become a Taoist priest as soon as he went to the academy, Jia Qing breathed a sigh of relief.
"But the child really doesn't want to go to that country to study now~"
Jia Qing was really reluctant to go to Guozijian to study, so he used the trick of procrastination.
Jia Jing only thought that it was a child who missed home, didn't want to go out to study, and didn't mind, and said slowly: "It's not in a hurry now, I will spend a few months explaining the two books "University" and "The Mean", and the time is still early, just to tell you a word first, and let you prepare." ā
It seems that Jia Jing has made up his mind to ask Jia Qing to go to Guozijian to study. He understood that if he wanted to rely on Jia Jing, the backer, the price was to study!
But reading can't be regarded as a bad thing, after all, it's not a lot of skills, in case you get admitted to a Jinshi or something in the future, won't you make a lot of money?
Jia Qing thought beautifully.
"Well, the kid got it."
Jia Jing was in a good mood, helped his son up from the ground, and suddenly asked, "Has King Beijing ever posted to invite you recently?" ā
"Back to my father, no."
Brushing his beard, Jia Jing said casually: "Well, presumably the prince is busy with official business and forgot about it for a while." You don't have to worry about it, after all, the palace is no better than other places, and it is not a bad thing to go less. ā
After a pause, he felt that there was nothing to explain, and remembered that Jia Qing was doing very well today, so he said to him: "Okay, you go down, you don't have to go to the school to read today, have a good rest." ā
"Thank you, father, the child is leaving." Jia Qing replied happily.
This kind of leader takes the initiative to take a vacation, which is much more valuable than the time he is lazy.
