Liu Yu is worthy of being a generation of Confucianism in Baoding Prefecture, rigorous and careful in learning, when teaching to students, there is always such a passion, quoting classics, fascinating.

He is very strict with his students, and he never allows procrastination to be done on the same day, in his words, "the same day, the same day." ”

The most important thing is that Liu Yu's requirements for each student are not all the same. Many of these students from all over Baoding Prefecture are already talents, and some are children, and there are obviously very few people like Zhou Zhi and Yang Jinshan who have only passed the county examination once.

Liu Yu can quickly understand the students' reading and composition situation, and put forward very favorable requirements for themselves. From this point of view, this is the prototype of "teaching students according to their aptitude" proposed by later generations of education.

Liu Yu's requirements for thoughtfulness are undoubtedly the most and the most stringent. After all, with Wang Shu's recommendation, Zhou Zhi made a bet with Boye's Liu family, which was a major event related to Liu Yu's reputation. Could it be that you are really old, old, lose face, and ruin your reputation?

Besides, Liu Yu and Liu Ji were rivals back then, although Liu Ji is dead, from Liu Yu's heart, he still doesn't want the descendants of the Liu family to be too arrogant.

Moreover, Zhou Zhi himself is extraordinary, has the ability to remember, and his comprehension ability is much stronger than others. This seems to be a genius, for such a genius, can Liu Yuyan do his best to teach all the things he has learned and understood all his life?

Although Zhou Zhi lived in Liu's house at night and did not live with those students, he still had to go to the school hall to listen to lectures during the day, and he had to write essays in the school hall at night, so he had a lot of contact with other students. Zhou Zhi knows very well that it is very important to improve one's level by reading and writing here, but it is definitely not to be taken lightly when it comes to making friends.

You must know that these students are all well-known and talented people in Baoding Prefecture. Many of them will enter the officialdom in the future entrance examination.

Zhou Zhi is the head of the county test in Qingdu County, which is undoubtedly a big aura, many people are willing to contact Zhou Zhi, and Zhou Zhi is easy-going and has clear grievances. It's only been ten days of hard work, and Zhou Zhi has a good relationship with everyone.

Of course, Yang Jinshan's kind of goods should be excluded.

At this time, he can't fight with Yang Jinshan, but Zhou Zhi has already thought about it, he will definitely not let Yang Jinshan go easily.

These days, Yang Jinshan is also very honest, sitting in the school hall every day to listen to lectures, and his scholar Wu Feng is often accompanied by him. Zhou Zhi noticed that Wu Feng listened to Liu Yu's lectures more attentively than Yang Jinshan. Although Zhou Zhi has never seen the article written by Wu Feng, Zhou Zhi is sure that Wu Feng must be a talented person.

Yang Jinshan, the essay that Liu Yu asked to write every day, can also be completed, but what makes Zhou Zhi very strange is that Yang Jinshan's essay is not badly written, and it is often praised by Liu Yu.

This is obviously very inconsistent with the statement that Yang Jinshan, who I heard in Qingdu County, did not learn and could not write a complete article.

Yang Jinshan is a small role in Zhou Zhi's eyes after all, and Zhou Zhi naturally doesn't care too much about him. He writes articles that love as much as they want, what does it have to do with me?

Among these many students, Zhou Zhi and the two of them can talk the most, and they are the closest. One is Li Maoyuan from Qingyuan County, and the other is Sun Gong from Gaoyang County.

Li Maoyuan is 30 years old, he was born in a poor family, but he has loved reading since he was a child and does not fall into the ambition of reading. After more than ten years of closed-door hard study, he finally passed the examination in the eighth year of Hongzhi, but he fell to Sun Shan in the next year's examination.

He came to Liu Yu to study here this time, and he was very serious and hardworking. Although he is noble, he is easy to get close to, probably because he admires Zhou Zhisheng for studying hard in a poor home, and he has some sympathy with Zhou Zhi, just ten days have passed, he and Zhou Zhi have nothing to talk about.

Sun Gong is twenty-four years old and a showman. This person was born in a wealthy businessman's family in Gaoyang County, but he has a lot of respect for people from poor families, and he and Zhou Zhi can also talk to each other.

Zhou Zhi tried to search for the names of Li Maoyuan and Sun Gong in the memories of later generations, but found nothing, obviously these two people are unknown.

What Zhou Zhi didn't know was that if Sun Gong was a small person, but less than a hundred years later, one of Sun Gong's descendants left a heavy mark in the history of the Ming Dynasty, which can be described as a famous name in history.

His descendant is called Sun Chengzong.

Of course, at this time, the Ming Dynasty came because of Zhou Zhi's crossing, and the development of history may be tilted, or even change, and it is impossible to know whether the future Sun Chengzong's life trajectory is the same as in real history.

The days passed quickly, and it was the third day of the third month of March.

The third day of the third month of March is a grand festival in Lixian County, and there is a magnificent Old Mother Temple in the southwest of Lixian County. The legend of the old mother in the area of Lixian is that she is the daughter of the Yellow Emperor and can bring happiness and health to the world. Therefore, every year on this day, the people and eunuchs from all over the county have to go to the old mother temple to worship. Burn incense and pray for the old mother to give her a strong body, a prosperous life, a good harvest, promotion and wealth, and so on.

This day is a major event in Lixian County, in addition to worshiping the old mother, there will be a variety of business and entertainment activities around the old mother temple, which is unprecedentedly prosperous and lively.

Liu Family School has a day off on this day, Liu Yu and his family, but anyone who can walk around will go to worship the old mother and catch the temple fair.

Because of the different customs of the students from all over the school, although many of them don't know which way the old mother is a fairy, they also feel bored in the school, so they rush to the temple fair to see the excitement.

According to Zhou Zhi's thoughts, he didn't want to go. But Li Maoyuan and Sun Gong talked about it in front of Zhou Zhi again and again, instigating Zhou Zhi, and Qi Yanwu, after all, he is younger and loves to be lively. Although he didn't say it, he was very willing to see it in his heart.

Zhou Zhi simply fulfilled everyone's wishes, and after breakfast, the four of them walked to the Old Mother Temple.

On this day, the sun was shining, the wind was bright, and several people walked all the way, breathing in the smell of the wild mixed with the fragrance of the earth, and the mood was particularly comfortable.

The Old Mother Temple is almost thirty miles away from Beizhongwei Village, and from time to time you can see groups of people in groups of three or five along the way, or carriages carrying rich merchants and eunuchs, all heading towards the Old Mother Temple.

The closer you get to the Old Mother Temple, the more people there are on the road, and in the end, it can be said that you are rubbing shoulders.

When it came to the temple fair, it was crowded with people, shouting and selling, so it was not lively. Snack sellers, candy blowers, drummers, oil sellers, needle and thread sellers, cattle sellers, poultry sellers...... And so on.

Zhou Zhi rushed to the temple fair in the countryside in later generations, except for the large number of people, the only harvest was to get a body of soil back. At this time, the temple fair almost had the prototype of the temple fair in later generations, which made Zhou Zhi feel very cordial.

In front of the Old Mother Temple, a huge incense pyre has already been lit, and all kinds of people are kneeling there kowtowing and praying silently.

Zhou Zhi, Li Maoyuan, Sun Gong and Qi Yanwu were crowded in the crowd, and they were tiptoeing towards the statue of the old mother temple, when suddenly a rough voice came from the crowd not far behind them, "Get out of the way, get out of the way quickly, or Lao Tzu will cut off your heads!" ”
