Chapter 20: Such a School
"Sir, Sun Yue hasn't come yet." Sun Gui found that it had no effect after glaring at Sun Dan for a long time, and when he heard Mr. ask if anyone had arrived, he immediately shouted.
"Oh, Sun Yue didn't come." Mr. touched his yellowed beard and nodded: "Sun Yue is not in good health, so I won't wait for him, and the class will start." ”
"Sir, Sun Yue can't come for two days a month, and he is often late." Sun Gui was greatly dissatisfied.
Hearing Sun Gui mention Sun Yue, Sun Dan remembered that the Sun family had such an unborn little genius, no wonder he always felt that something was missing when he entered the book just now, it turned out that he didn't come.
Speaking of Sun Yue, he is really a reading seed. This person was born at the age of four, could read through the Analects at the age of five, and passed the county examination and the government examination at the age of ten. It's a pity that when he was ten years old, Sun Yue had a serious illness and recuperated at home for three years, but he still hasn't recovered. Otherwise, it would have been up to you to pass the exam last year. At the age of twelve, he counted carefully with his fingers, and in the more than 150 years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, it was only a few people such as Xie Jin, Yang Yiqing, Yang Tinghe, etc., and all of these people were cabinet ministers.
By the way, it seems that Zhang Juzheng was also raised at the age of twelve.
It seems that this Sun Yue will be promoted in the future, and there should be no problem with Zhongjinshi, no wonder when the descendants of the Sun family are mentioned, the world will think of the name Sun Yue for the first time.
It's a pity that this guy's body is too weak, and Mrs. Liu in the second room is reluctant to let her son come to the school to suffer in the cold weather. Therefore, Sun Yue didn't come to the school much at all. Anyway, a genius like him reads the same everywhere.
Besides, Mr. Li in the school doesn't seem to be a good teacher, and he can't learn anything from him.
According to Sun Dan's observation just now, this Mr. Li is simply a mixed meal. It is said that he used to learn Taoism from a prefecture in Shaanxi, and it seems that he has some relationship with Wang Shouren. Zhishi was later invited to teach in Shandong by Sun Henian, the second room, and originally expected him to teach a few outstanding children for the Sun family. But if you see his current performance, it is estimated that Sun Henian will be so angry that he will vomit blood.
It is strange to say that Sun Henian is a famous Taoist gentleman, but he invited a disciple of Xinxue to teach, which makes me feel a little weird when I think about it.
Sun Gui's dissatisfaction with Mr. Li naturally didn't take it seriously, maybe he didn't notice it at all.
Mr. Li let out a long yawn, and a layer of cloudy tears appeared in his eyes: "What? ”
"This ......," Sun Gui sat back in his seat angrily.
"Yawn!" The gentleman lay down again and buried his head on the table: "I'm starting to study, I'll read a sentence today, and you can read a sentence." 'Gou is new, every day is new, and every day is new', read. ”
More than 30 mouths made a messy voice at the same time: "Gou is new, every day is new, and every day is new." ”
What does this mean, that is, if you can improve one day, you can continue to improve yourself every day, and then the future will be very different. Okay, the next sentence: 'Although Zhou is an old state, its life is renewed', read. ”
"Although Zhou is an old state, his life is renewed."
What does this mean, that is, ...... Ahem, 'a gentleman will do anything'...... Ahem......"
Seeing Li Xian's sleepiness, Sun couldn't help but shake his head: What kind of class is this, it's just reading according to the textbook, such a teaching gentleman, anyone can come down at the moment. I heard that Old Scholar Li has thirty taels of silver every year, and he doesn't cheat money like this.
By the way, Mr. Li's name seems to be Li Meiting.
Li Meiting...... Why is this name so familiar, I must have heard someone say it somewhere.
After reading a few words, it is estimated that Mr. Li is also tired of this cramming education method, and said in a vague tone: "I'm going to sleep, and we will continue the rest of the class in the afternoon." Wait for yourself to review and speak quietly. Then he tilted his head and fell asleep.
"Coax!" The students let out a joyful chuckle and relaxed.
Some people continued to take out their books and read aloud, some people picked up pens to complete the homework assigned by the teacher, and some people gathered together to chat.
Sun Dan smiled bitterly and shook his head, took out the four treasures of the study room from his baggage and put them on the table, refilled the inkstone, pinched a fine Taishan pine smoke ink ingot, and unhurriedly studied the ink.
Judging by Mr. Li's posture, it is impossible to wake up this morning. The spring is cold, and the temperature in the room is so soft that it is a good time to sleep, anyway, Mr. Li is also focused on messing around in the school, as for the students' schoolwork, but he doesn't pay much attention to it.
It's okay to study on your own. If you change to a good teacher and follow his lessons step by step, you will feel irritated when you think about it. Sun Dan didn't think that his level in ancient Chinese was higher than that of other students in the school, he came here just to take a situation, as for the imperial examination, there were thousands of model essays in his head, and he couldn't pass anything.
As the ink spreads in the inkstone, a good smell of ink spreads. The ink ingots used in the school are all customized by the Sun family from the famous ink makers in Jinan Prefecture, and ice chips and musk are added to it, which has a strange fragrance. This kind of taste is not found in modern large-scale industrial production.
Smelling the familiar fragrance of ink, holding the wolf brush, Sun Dan suddenly felt a little emotional. I think I started practicing calligraphy since elementary school, and my idea at that time was simple, I wanted to be able to write well after working in the future. Words are stepping stones, and words are like people, which can give people a good first impression. Since elementary school, after more than ten years of work, I don't know how many brushes I have written bald, and how many calligraphy books have been turned over, so I have practiced a good hand. After participating in the work, he joined the Provincial Calligraphers Association.
However, whether the words are good or bad, they are not very useful in real life, everyone uses the computer to type, who still writes by hand.
But here is ancient times, and it is very useful to write well, which is a direct reflection of a person's cultural accomplishment.
As far as the students in the school are concerned, many of them are really not very good. Especially those who are related to the children, the handwriting with a brush is even more unsightly, just like the handwriting of three-year-old children in later generations, it is crooked, and it is difficult to see death.
Thinking about it, it is also understandable that practicing calligraphy requires pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and in a few years, this consumption is not small. Besides, there is no writing to speak of these years. Even if there is, it is an antique-level treasure, such as: Yan Zhenqing, Mi Shi, and Huang Tingjian's authentic works. ---- this kind of thing is not accessible to ordinary people.
Therefore, after a quick glance, Sun Dan found that the good handwriting in the school were all direct children of the Sun family. Like Sun Hao, although he is stupid, he can write a fat and solemn Su Dongpo, but the atmosphere in Su Dabeard's pen is not fully learned, and he has become a field housekeeper with forked hands and feet. And even if Sun Gui is obscene, Liu Gongquan's "Xuanmi Tower" is also decent. It is estimated that these two guys have the opportunity to enter the family library on weekdays to observe everyone's real works.
Among them, the best calligraphy is an unexpected figure, Sun Jia. This second-room concubine is a young lady, and her elegant upright style has some of the charm of Dong Qichang fifty years later. This is a gentle and taciturn little girl with a pointed chin, single eyelids, and a few cute little freckles on both sides of her nose. is also because of these sesame-sized brown embellishments, which add a bit of vividness to her.
Sun Dan quietly glanced at the words placed on the table by the people around him, and sighed secretly: The family is really profound, even if the children of the family are straw bales, once they are pulled out and compared with ordinary people, they will still be a step higher.
He opened "Shuowen Jie Zi" and was about to copy down all the commonly used traditional characters, but as soon as he picked up the pen, he remembered that in the eyes of outsiders, he was a big illiterate one, and now he suddenly moved the pen like flying, and he would definitely be regarded as a monster.
