Chapter 120: The Old Don't Regret, the Young Don't Know [Three Watches]
Since the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, through the Three Kingdoms period, to today's New Han Dynasty, the genealogy of the major families has gradually grown, one of the typical signs is that the book of commandments emerges in endlessly, such as Zhuge Liang, Yang Ku, Ji Kang's book of commandments, the aforementioned Langya Wang Xiang, and the "Decree of the Descendants of Xun" has been circulated in the world.

"Judging from the information currently available, the rise of family private learning, and the growth of the door valve politics, due to the great increase in the power of the family gate, they gradually realized that in order to maintain the privileges of the family, it is necessary to consolidate the advantages of the family, and the root of the family advantage lies in two points, family law and education, family law is the precepts and rules and regulations, is the cornerstone of maintaining family style and reputation, and education is the key to the survival of the family, the children of the family must continue to appear talents, the family can prosper."
Walking in the fields, smelling the grass mixed with the smell of soil, Chen Zhi is reminiscing about the genealogy, which has traces in the fragments of his predecessor's memory, and at the same time investigating the hidden social problems behind the genealogy.
The little scholar Chen Wu followed suit.
"The root cause of the decline of the Chen family, in the final analysis, is that the success rate of the children of the later generations is too low, there are no outstanding children who can support the family framework, and even the people of Chen Chi's generation are not excellent, in this case, of course, the family will gradually decline, and even the family law has signs of collapse, whether it is the behavior of my predecessor, or Chen Yun's selfishness, or Chen Bian's wanton behavior, it is a manifestation of the loosening of the family law, and it is also a problem in educationto be eligible for upgrading. ”
Originally, in history, most of the criticisms about the Wei and Jin grades were criticized for the solidification of the channel between the upper grade and the lower grade, and the upper and lower grades were not connected, but before that, the family wanted to get high grades, and they did not see that they were all means of power and magic, nor military strength.
After years of learning, you can be a secretary of the world.
Vice versa.
With the study of successive generations, it is a magic weapon used by the family to show off, and it is also the foundation for maintaining the immortality of the family, in turn, it can continue to collect knowledge, promote the backwardness of the family, and let talents support the long-term prosperity of the family.
This foundation of the Chen family has actually been shaken a long time ago.
The genealogy of the Chen clan is located in the Chen Village outside the city, which is also the gathering place of the Chen clan, and the previous ancestor worship was held here.
The Chen family in Pengcheng is not only the Chen Taigong lineage, but also many other branches and side families, such as the night when Chen Zhi was taken to the official mansion, the third uncle lived in this Chen Zhuang and was a side lineage.
Chenzhuang is actually a small village.
The Chen family's ethnology is located in a corner of the village, covering a large area, but it has not been repaired for a long time and is quite dilapidated.
There are three rooms in total, the middle hall is used for the children of the Chen family, and the houses on both sides are also used for miscellaneous purposes, and the other is used for enlightenment, that is, for children from the age of four to teenagers to learn to read and write.
After a pause, Chen Zhi walked into the lobby in the middle, and when he looked around, he saw rows of seats inside, the front was the position of Mr. Lecturer, and on the back wall of the lobby, there was a plaque with a "Urgent Chapter" written on it, which is said to be Chen Deng's handwriting, which is also the main model of Mongolian studies at present.
Looking at the furnishings of this Chen clan study, Chen Zhi understood the general situation of this school, in general, compared with later generations, there is one less blackboard, and most of the layout is similar to Guozijian and Taixue, but there are many simple things in the details.
Chen Zhi's predecessor also studied here.
Originally, Chen Zhi came with Chen Xi, but halfway through, as soon as he entered Chen Zhuang, someone found Chen Xi, saying that today's clan study was still suspended, and Mr. Xibin was still unwilling to teach.
"Seventh Young Master, you're here."
At this time, an old man hurried over, greeting while walking, and followed by a young man in Tsing Yi by Lao Suo's side.
There are these two people in Chen Zhi's memory, they are the miscellaneous servants who work in the genealogy, they are a pair of grandchildren, the old one is called Chen Hao, and the younger one is named Chen Yu, not a slave, but a resident of Chenzhuang Village, according to the genealogy, they are also of the same clan as Chen Zhi, but the blood relationship is far away.
The Chen family is a big family in the end, after so many years of development, branches and leaves, each family has different experiences, people like Chen Hao, Chen Zhen's ancestors and grandchildren, the family is extremely poor, can only do chores in the family science, in order to earn a little family.
Through the eyes full of awe of the ancestors and grandchildren, you can see the difference between them and Chen Zhi in terms of status.
After seeing Chen Zhi nodding, Chen Hao said cautiously, "Seventh Young Master, are you here to find Mr. Wang?" He was still here just now, but he had a dispute with Qi Ye, and announced that he would not talk about it today, and now he seems to have gone to Qi Ye's house and said that he wanted to talk about it. The Qi Ye in his mouth is named Chen Qi, and he is also the number one person in Chenzhuang Village, but if he counts his seniority, Chen Qi will call him uncle when he sees Chen Zhi.
"Mr. Wang? Is that the new Mr. Sibin? Well, since you're here, let's meet him. Chen Zhi said, he should leave first, and according to his memory, he walked towards Chen Qi's house.
When the figures of Chen Zhi and the scholar Chen Wu disappeared into the corner in the distance, the little guy Chen Yu suddenly said: "This seventh young master is the ridiculous young master, right?" ”
Chen Hao, who was on the side, originally lowered his head, but his expression changed when he heard this, and he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "You can't say that, don't let people hear it." When he looked left and right, he saw that no one heard it, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and then touched Chen Yu's head, and said: "This young master is the young master of the Zong family, I followed Qi Ye to the county seat a few days ago, and I heard someone in the ancestral mansion say that this seventh young master is now terrible, he is a big man, you can't offend him, you have to wait well, if he is happy, maybe you can also officially enroll in school." ”
The little servant Chen Yu said disapprerovingly: "What's so good about enrolling, it's better to help Qiye herd sheep and chickens, and there is a big amount of money every day." ”
"Nonsense!" Chen Hao's face changed, he shouted angrily, and his hand patted Chen Hao's head on the head, then came to his senses, touched his grandson's head in distress, and said earnestly: "Why did I let you come to this school to help?" I just want you to be able to learn a word or two when the young masters are listening, and when they are learning, they can also read and write, so it's good. ”
"What about being able to read and write, it's not like herding sheep and chickens, don't you also know a few words, aren't you also in this gang of miscellaneous." Chen muttered, but looked at the expectation in his grandfather's eyes, and did not refute it in the end.
On the other side, after Chen Zhi left the family study, he followed the route in his memory and came to the courtyard of a large family, stretched out his hand and knocked on the door.
"Who......"
A rather loud voice rang out, and the door opened, revealing a woman with a bucket waist, and behind the woman, there was a faint sound of argument.
This person Chen Zhi also knows, it is Chen Qi's wife Li.
"You're not that Chen Zhi...... No, it's Uncle Seven, Uncle Seven, please come in! She had a flattering expression on her face, the name of Chen Zhi has been circulating in Pengcheng these days, and Chen Qi, the husband of the Li family, is not shallow, although he is far away from the Zong family in terms of blood, he is dedicated to it, and has a good relationship with the Zong family, and the news is smart, and he has long known that Chen Zhi, the absurd young master in the past, has risen and is the core of the future of the Chen family, and the Li family has naturally been explained.
Chen Zhi said directly: "I came to see Chen Qi because of the school. ”
"Wait!" As soon as Li Shi heard this, he turned his face and shouted towards the courtyard, "Chen Qi, the seventh uncle is here, you come out quickly!" ”
"Uncle Seven?"
The exclamation came from the house, and then Chen Qi hurriedly ran out, and as soon as he arrived at the door, there was a burst of greetings, and then he reprimanded the Li family: "Your seventh uncle is here, why don't you hurry up and serve tea and pour water." ”
"No need," Chen Zhi shook his head and pointed inside, "I came this time for the sake of ethnicity, I heard that the newly invited Xibin is here with you?" He couldn't help but sigh that this Chen Qi, really good at seeing the wind and making the rudder, according to the fragments in his memory, the Chen Zhi in the past, but he was not less ridiculed by this Chen Qi, but the other party now looks like he is digging out his heart and lungs.
"For the sake of ethnography?" Chen Qi was stunned for a moment, and then he heard a voice coming from behind him-
"This is Chen Qigongzi, I have admired the name for a long time, I have also been fortunate to see your Mobao in Peng's mansion, and I admire it very much."
Accompanied by the voice, a middle-aged man in a deep coat, he came to the door, bowed his hand, and then said: "So that Chen Gongzi knows that the Chen family invited me to teach schoolchildren over ten years old, but the Kaimeng Hall on the side of this lobby is unstable, and the naughty children in it are too naughty and mess up teaching. ”
After listening to this, Chen Zhi already understood the reason, but asked: "I don't know if there are any children in my Chen family who are sincere in studying?" ”
The middle-aged man thought that Chen Zhi would persuade or ask, but unexpectedly asked about this, and after being stunned, he nodded and said, "There are still people who are sincere in learning." ”
Chen Zhi immediately bowed and said, "That being the case, I hope that Mr. will not shirk his position as Xibin." (To be continued.) )
