Volume 1: Juyiwu Chapter 18 The Academy

"A bucket of wine, a spring and autumn, a confidant, plus the boys in the library, this is the reason why I stayed in Yiwu." ———————— Li Yan

>>>>>>>

The snow in the sky is still sparse, and after Zhuge Liang wears a coarse cloth crown, there is no obstacle in the wind and snow, but the dock road in this weather is interesting, and he has never come to Juyiwu before. Busy people sometimes walk by under the fine snow, and occasionally you can see idle people sleeping or sitting under the eaves of their own houses when passing through the doors of others, so they have a leisurely and complacent attitude. Among them, there were also people who waved at Zhuge Liang to say hello, most of these people had already talked to him and knew each other.

Without carrying Zhao Ning'er's burden, Zhuge Liang took much less time to walk back to the roadside of the workshop than Fang Cai, at least half as fast as just now. Maybe it was because Zhao Ning'er ran away, at this time, Aunt Zhao and the others no longer joked about who Ge Zhuang's perfect match was, and the other female workers naturally quieted down. Because of this, Zhuge Liang had the opportunity to talk to them well, so that he would not feel any embarrassment. So after completing the agreement with Zhao Ning'er, Zhuge Liang hurriedly left the workshop and walked to the school.

However, as soon as I heard that Ge Zhuang went to Old Man Lu's Pharmacy with Zhao Ning'er, who was twisted to his feet, he picked up the active atmosphere in the workshop again, and now no one didn't think that Zhao Ning'er was the only one who had a play with Ge Zhuang......

There are a lot of new acquaintances in Juyiwu these days, although they are all people who are insignificant and can't help Zhuge Liang or anything, but having them won't make it so boring during the recuperation period. For example, to play chess with Lu Jing and Li Yan, or to talk and laugh with people who are rare to have leisure among these people, and sometimes you can also go to the school field to watch the militia training, and the life process of coming to Juyiwu is roughly like this.

When you have a good relationship with more people or get to know each other, you will feel less novel, and you will be talked about or noticed less often, that is, you will gradually be accepted by others. Then go up to important facilities such as watchtowers or dock wall plank roads, or go to other key places in Juyiwu, without the help or permission of Diao Zheng and others, Zhuge Liang can also do it. In short, Zhuge Liang's interaction with the people in the dock is not without purpose, but he is by no means malicious, just to make it more convenient in this narrow dock. What's more, in the hearts of some important political figures in the north, his status has always been very high, whether he is a hostile or an ally. If you don't talk about it too much, your sense of existence is like that of an ordinary person in the dock, and you won't reveal much information to attract Zhuge Liang's enemies.

This is not only beneficial for the period of recuperation, which can last up to two or three months, without being disturbed by those people, or even found. The second is that when the time comes to leave Juyiwu, it will not be because they know that they are in this area, and the way back to the south will be controlled.

Although the people in the Yiwu may not inadvertently or even deliberately reveal Zhuge Liang's information to the people outside the dock, since the opponent is the Water Mirror and the princes of all parties, it is not possible to ignore any detail.

Before coming to the academy, Zhuge Liang felt that it was right for him to take the initiative to meet the people in the dock, but there were always some people who made him hesitate. Jiang Laoqi, who he met when he passed through the back door, was one, and that kind of suspicious look made Zhuge Liang feel uncomfortable, so he stared at Zhuge Liang with curious and evil eyes for a while, "Hmm...... This young man seems to have seen it somewhere, and it is quite similar to the kid with a bounty of 300,000 taels on the wanted map in Jizhou City that day......"

Judging from Jiang Laoqi's appearance alone, Zhuge Liang felt that he was a good person and greedy, and his thick eyebrows and big eyes seemed to often regard an otherwise ordinary thing as an item for his own profit. That is, to intervene in everything, and the motive is to take advantage, a thick figure with a body length of more than seven feet, and the impression of not having those uncomfortable eyes should be better.

For example, more than a month ago, after the end of Luodu's business run, when he passed through Jizhou to inquire about the business, the picture of the wanted criminal on the bulletin board in the poor area forced him to wait until the officers and soldiers left and secretly ripped it off. It became a private collection, and then took it around for news of the wanted man in the picture, forgetting even the purpose of going to the slumber, and continued to do so until he was about to return to the dock, when he felt that he had no choice but to throw it away.

Now, after seeing Zhuge Liang, Jiang Laoqi's unrepentant heart suddenly gave birth to the idea of finding a picture to compare again...... But fortunately, Jiang Laoqi had just left Jia Hao's house and was about to go home, so he immediately turned into the alleyway, muttering about the 300,000 taels of gold in his mouth.

And when Jiang Laoqi was stared at like this, Zhuge Liang felt that this guy might have seen him, and then thought that when he was wanted by Yuan Shao, the huge bounty was not a joke. This also caused a great turmoil, and everyone scrambled to find the boy in the picture, but unfortunately the picture was not accurate. Not to mention the fat painting, he also painted Zhuge Liang ugly...... I really don't know which famous artist it came from......

Moreover, the wanted warrant should have been terminated by Yuan Shao now, after all, he must have thought that Zhuge Liang was dead.

In addition to Jiang Laoqi, he met several people next, among which the one who made the deepest impression on Zhuge Liang was Hong Tao. I heard that he is Hong Xiaoling's father, and the father and daughter do look alike, with big eyes and eyebrows. But it seems that he is not in a good state, as if he has lost his soul, and he didn't notice him when he walked past Zhuge Liang.

After Hong Tao walked over, Diao Zheng followed, and he was surprised to see Zhuge Liang Diao Zheng, "Why are you here?" Don't take a break at home once. When greeting Zhuge Liang, Diao Zheng didn't forget to look at Hong Tao who turned into the alley, as if he had something to say to Hong Tao.

"Brother Diao wants to say something to Brother Hong?" Zhuge Liang stopped and bowed to Diao Zheng, "His spirit doesn't seem to be very good." ”

"Well, if it's okay, go back early to rest, it's cold outside." Diao Zheng patted the snow on Zhuge Liang's shoulder, stared intently at the alley that Hong Tao turned into, and then left.

"Did anything happen to Jia Hao's house?" Zhuge Liang looked back at Diao Zheng walking there and thought suspiciously, it was obvious that the former was listless and seemed to be worried about something, and the latter hurriedly chased after him, apparently wanting to comfort him.

In fact, the reason behind this incident is that after listening to Jiang Laoqi's words, Hong Tao was worried that he would attack Xiaoling's mother and daughter, and he was taking advantage of Hong Tao's outside, which made Hong Tao very worried. Of course, Diao Zheng knew what he was thinking, so he thought about following up to reassure Hong Tao, and then find an opportunity to take him directly to Jiang Laoqi to explain it clearly.

That is, to support Hong Tao.

Zhuge Liang naturally didn't know about the contradictions between Hong Tao, Jia Yi and Jiang Laoqi, and he had delayed so much time along the way, so if he didn't go to the library, he was afraid that Li Yan would go to the church, so he didn't think about leaving anymore.

When he came to the outside of the library, he saw that there was only a small classroom, surrounded by a bamboo fence, and the hall between them was a children's activity space, which was quite wide. It can be seen that Jia Hao attaches great importance to education, and the land saved by many families seems to be used in the school, and unlike many places, there are many girls sitting in the classroom.

At this time, Li Yan was in class, and Zhuge Liang stood by the window to listen and watch. Li Yan was fascinated by the conversation, and he didn't notice that Zhuge Liang was standing outside the window under the eaves, but many children turned their heads to look at Zhuge Liang's side, and then turned their heads back to Li Yan's side, not daring to take a second look, knowing that it was the eldest brother of Diao Yu's family who lived temporarily.

The most surprising thing for Zhuge Liang was that Naughty didn't notice him, he listened to the lecture fascinated, and the pen and ink in his hand didn't stop. Although I can tell that the naughty words are written unfairly, and even some words are written incorrectly, the serious attitude in this class is very different from the usual performance...... Zhuge Liang couldn't believe it, and then he had to smile sarcastically...... You really can't just look at a child......

"Zi said: 'Reviewing the old and learning the new, you can be a teacher'." Li Yan fanned the feather fan in his right hand, and said as he walked, "There are friends from afar, and I don't ...... Ge Zhuanghu? Suddenly, he stopped in place, looked at Ge Zhuang blankly, and secretly said in his heart, "It's really here...... Then I'll have to show myself as a teacher. ”

"Hahahahahaha~" The children burst out laughing, and Zhang Dan'er, who has always been sluggish in his head, made a fool of himself with Li Yan, and also read along, "Isn't it Ge Zhuanghu?" ”。

Diao Yu, who was originally very engrossed, also made this matter laugh out loud, "Master, are you wrong?" "It's here." As a result, the others laughed more and the class became noisy.

Zhuge Liang outside the window gestured to Li Yan with his eyes when he turned his gaze, as a greeting, and then let the sentence "Zhuanghu not Yige" cause him to laugh.

"Ahem, a slip of the tongue and a slip of the tongue, don't laugh." Although Li Yan was very serious, he couldn't control the situation, and the children still laughed non-stop, which is a rare hilarious point in a boring class, how can you do it if you don't laugh enough, "What?" Still not stopping? If you don't stop, you'll be punished! Li Yan raised his voice and glanced at the child who was still laughing, and then the situation was controlled.

In fact, there are only two main subjects that Li Yan teaches in the classroom: mathematics and books, which occasionally involve a little more advanced topics, plus the Analects that Li Yan must let the children recite every day and the poetry and scriptures class with some moisture, etc., which are the basic courses of the school. On the whole, the teaching system is relatively comprehensive, and it is only a matter of teaching some simple arithmetic problems and low-level knowledge such as word recognition and writing.

Of course, the curriculum of Yiwu Bookstore is not standardized enough, and compared with the teaching of government-run bookstores or private schools set up by some famous teachers, it is not half a catty or eight taels. In particular, the scripture halls set up by many famous teachers are private studies dedicated to the study of classics, and they are not learned when they were children. Therefore, most of the things taught by Li Yan are low-level knowledge, but these are learned with relish by the children of Yiwu day after day, because they are one of the few people in the world who can sit in a comfortable classroom......

is that Li Yan only talks about Confucian classics many times, and he really can't get tired of telling a story, but those who listen to it are tired of it. There is also that old-fashioned teaching method, which is dull and boring, and it really makes people doze off when they listen to it. In short, Li Yan did not know how to be flexible in teaching, and he was quite strict, and he refused to deny the Confucian classics. Therefore, many children learn seriously, but every day is so that many children can't help but fall asleep, but there is a lot of fun in recess activities, and every child is still looking forward to coming to the library.

If you make a simple arrangement, Diao Yu and they are currently in the "Mengxue education stage", which is generally based on literacy and literacy. Li Yan joined the course of Confucian classics, and even arranged for the time in this area to often occupy most of the first class, which had already allowed Diao Yu and them to indirectly enter the "stage of initial scripture education". However, from the perspective of the specific curriculum, Mongolian education is still the mainstay, and literacy is still the basic curriculum.

However, due to Li Yan's limited knowledge, he really could not improve the teaching level of the scripture hall, and after the children in the dock reached a certain age, the male served as a soldier guarding the dock, and the female worked in the workshop, and there was no chance to further promote to the educational stage of "specializing in scriptures". So most of the time, boys like Diao Yu and Zhang Le join the militia at the age of twelve or thirteen, and girls start helping out in workshops at about this age.

But whether it is at the library level or the scripture library level, Li Yan is still very serious in class, but he really doesn't like the children much. But when it comes to basic professional quality, Li Yan has reached it, at least the children know a lot of common sense, and they can also read, write, and count.

I don't know if he was eager to show his prestige in front of Ge Zhuang, Li Yan continued to make things difficult for Diao Yu and them, and asked many questions that needed to be answered after a deep understanding of the scriptures. But if anyone can't answer, Li Yan will physically punish them, of course, just punish them for standing, and then Li Yan will analyze the answers one by one, so as to show his majesty as a teacher, and say, "Remember this time, right?" ”。

In fact, he didn't remember if he had taught Diao Yu or them......

Li Yan thought about this, of course Zhuge Liang saw it, not to mention Li Yan, it was Diao Yu and they all competed to perform as soon as they saw Ge Zhuang's eldest brother listening outside the window. Li Yan had to complain in his heart, "I don't see you so active on weekdays, but no one wants to steal the limelight from me......"

Such Li Yan and Diao Yu are all things that Zhuge Liang has never seen, and he thinks they are all cute for a while. Because Li Yan really just wanted to pretend to be forced, corporal punishment of Diao Yu showed his dignity and self-interpretation of the classics, and he could not do it too much. For example, corporal punishment is good, it is true that he wants to show the prestige of the teacher in front of Ge Zhuang, but at this time, he only ruthlessly makes the person who is punished stand a little longer than when he is usually punished. Therefore, the scene that appeared in front of Ge Zhuang's eyes was like this: Li Yan asked a question, and someone who couldn't answer the punishment only stood for a while, and Li Yan couldn't bear to withdraw the punishment.

So much so that Zhuge Liang felt that Li Yan was forcibly forcing the students to stand for a while, and the people who were punished actually stood for less than half an hour, let alone other heavier corporal punishments. And Li Yan really never beats students, unless some of them dare to question the truth of "Zi Yue" in public...... Otherwise, he is only strict on the surface and merciful in his heart.

When it came to the end of class, Diao Yu's group of boys could be described as having an explosion of nature and playing without knowing what to do. The girls are relatively better, and most of them review the words they just know in the department, and they are organized and organized.

Many children actually wanted to gather around Ge Zhuang's brother, but they didn't dare to lean on because of Li Yan, and he was chatting with Ge Zhuang at this time. Naturally, he was talking about his awesomeness, and after seeing that Ge Zhuang was also flattering him, this kind of pride was still beautiful until the end of today's class.
