Chapter 14 Yao Lao Niu'er

Lushan School was jointly funded by several squires of Xiaohe Township, but in the end it became one of the political achievements of Tangyin Zhi County, but it was also beneficial to do so, and Lushan School became one of the eight primary schools attached to the county school, and it became a government-run school, and there were county school connections when studying here.

Different from the Tang Dynasty, the Great Song Dynasty had a very strong reading atmosphere, and Tangyin County had a strong literary style, and the families with a little more prosperity in Xiaohe Township sent their children here to study.

The school is divided into three rooms according to the different academic levels of the students, but they are all taught by the same master, and there is only one master in the whole school.

Master taken from the meaning of 'teacher is like father', but also the Song Dynasty to the teacher's honorific title, Lushan School's master surname is Yao Mingding, from a background, originally taught in the county, because he was extremely strong-tempered, every day and the county in charge of education Xue Zheng quarreled, plus he himself is also filial piety and township, Xue Zheng sent him to Lushan School to teach.

Yao Ding is about fifty years old, his body is so thin that he doesn't have a little oil, but his spirit is extremely strong, and he is also known for his shrewdness and severity in the county school, and he has a nickname called Yao Lao Niu'er.

At this time, in the teacher's room, Mr. Yao was asking Li Yanqing, who had just entered the school today.

"What's the name?"

"Student Li Yanqing, a native of Li Wen Village."

Yao Ding glared at him, "I didn't ask where you are from, what did you answer when I asked, did you hear that?" ”

"The students heard it!" Li Yanqing lowered his head helplessly.

"Is there a table?"

"Not yet."

"Hmmm! This is not in a hurry, you can take it before the age of twenty, let me ask you, why do you want to come to the academy to study? ”

This is what every child has to ask when they enter school, each child has a different realm, and the answers are different, most of them are influenced by their parents, they want to be named on the gold list, they want to be an official and make a fortune, etc., and there are also very few children with a high realm who will answer, studying in order to be loyal to the monarch and serve the country.

But why Li Yanqing wants to study, he himself doesn't quite understand, he is extremely reluctant to take the imperial examination in his heart, and he doesn't want to be named on the gold list at all, it is a bit tempting to be an official and make a fortune, but when he thinks that the iron hooves of the Jin soldiers will sweep the north in fifteen years, he has no idea.

"I want to read more!" That's a reason! Reading is a great pleasure in itself.

Yao Ding may have heard such an answer for the first time, he tilted his head and looked at Li Yanqing for a long time, he was a little interested in this child, and asked, "Have you ever read a book?" ”

"I've read a few books at home."

"Go! Silence on the Analects. ”

Li Yanqing has already discovered the rigor of this teacher, and he did not kick himself directly to the elementary school room because he was only six years old, but taught him according to his aptitude, and first took the entrance exam.

There was a table and a pen and paper next to him, Li Yanqing sat down upright in front of the table, picked up the pen and asked, "Which article does Master want me to silent?" ”

Yao Ding was stunned, "Which one can you silent?" ”

"Students can be silent."

Yao Ding was surprised, he could actually memorize it, and he would have to test him well another day, so he brushed his beard and said: "Then let's go through the Gongye long story silently!" ”

Li Yanqing wrote: The son is the chief of Gongye: 'But the wife is also. Although it is in bondage, it is not its sin. 'With his sons and wives. ’

The sub-name is Nanrong: 'The state has a way, and it is not wasted; There is no way in the state, and it is free from torture. 'The wife of his brother's son.

......

Yao Ding stood next to him and watched him meditate, and couldn't help nodding secretly, this kid can write well, and he can meditate on the Analects at the age of six, obviously with a deep family education.

Thinking of family learning, Yao Ding smiled again and asked, "Yanqing, who is your father?" ”

"My father's name is a big weapon, a member of the Li clan."

Hearing that it was Li Daqi's son, Yao Ding's face suddenly sank, 'Smack! As soon as he closed his books, he walked away, and when he walked to the door, he said coldly: "You go to the middle school room to study!" ”

Li Yanqing was inexplicable, could it be that his father had offended him? On the first day of meeting, he put on a face for himself, and he was not happy in his heart, so he strode into the middle school room next door with a cold face.

Yao Ding looked at his back and snorted coldly.

The middle school rooms are basically filled with students between the ages of eight and ten, about thirty or forty people, and the rooms are very large and not crowded.

At this time, the master was teaching the students in the primary school room to read, and the students in the middle school room were writing the scriptures, although the school room was very quiet, but the students had a lot of small movements, such as grimacing, writing notes, comparing fists, fighting grass and crickets, and there were only a few students who really focused on writing.

It's no wonder that a class is a morning, how can these boys who are active by nature hold back.

Li Yanqing walked into the room and saw Li Er waving to him desperately, pointing to an empty seat next to him.

Li Yanqing walked to the vacant seat and sat down, countless pairs of eyes looked at him, 'Ha! Another idiot from Li Wencun. I don't know who screamed, and immediately burst into laughter.

At this moment, there was a heavy cough outside the door, and the school room was suddenly silent, and every child began to pretend to write.

I saw their master walking in with square steps, carrying a cloth bag in his hand, he walked directly to Li Yanqing, and put the cloth bag on his desk, "Your things are all in it, I have already learned it in the primary school room of the hundred family names and thousand-character literature, and now I am teaching the Gongye long story in the "Analects", although you already know it, but still follow my rules, today Mo Gongye is long a hundred times, the handwriting has been altered, and the impropriety is doubled, and it will be handed in tomorrow morning." ”

After speaking, Yao Ding picked up the bamboo whip and whipped it at a student next to him, and just now he screamed, causing laughter.

After a few lashes, Yao Ding turned around and glared at the students, "If I hear any more noise, no one will go back tonight." ”

The students were silent, no one dared to raise their heads again, Yao Ding turned around and went to the next door, the student who had been beaten just now viciously drew a cow on an empty piece of paper, and a bloody long sword was inserted in the cow.

Li Yanqing opened his schoolbag, took out the pen, ink, paper, inkstone and a thin book of "Analects" inside, yesterday Yang Da Butler had already paid ten yuan for him, which is his textbook and learning tools for the next five years, but ten yuan is obviously not enough, but since it is a government-run school, the county will bear the shortage.

The primary school has to study for five to seven years, and then each family looks at the children's academic situation and then considers the future, and if it is really not the material for studying, they go home to farm, and those who are wealthy and do not need that little labor spend money to go to the county school to study.

If the family is poor and successful in school, you can take the county school exam, and if you are admitted, you can enter the county school to study, and there is a county subsidy of one liter of square rice every day.

Of course, the Song Dynasty did not have a meal student, all the state and county finances were handed over, all of them were so poor, and there was no money and grain to subsidize the students, just because Tangyin was a large grain-producing county, there was a little surplus grain, and the study style was strong, so it was possible to give a little subsidy to poor students, and the court would not object to this kind of student assistance, so it turned a blind eye.

But now there is no need to think about things so far away, Li Yanqing saw a small bucket of water on the walkway, so he stepped forward and scooped some water into the inkstone with a wooden spoon, sat down and slowly studied the ink.

At this time, Li Er wrote a note and threw it on his desk, only to see that it was written, 'Beware of the dismount of your Heavenly King. ’

Li Yanqing couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

......

During the lunch break, the students who lived in the town went home separately, and the rest of the students gathered in twos and threes to chat and play, and many children also brought snacks for lunch.

Li Yanqing left two steamed buns in the morning, just waiting for noon to fill his stomach, at this time he was so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back, and he just wanted to find a quiet place to nibble on his steamed buns, but Li Er followed him like a fart.

Li Yanqing climbed up to the wall, Li Er also climbed up, sat beside him, took out a leftover pancake from the oiled paper bag and handed it to Li Yanqing, "Eat this one of mine, there is meat." ”

Li Yanqing unceremoniously took it and took two bites, it was actually a scallion and mutton filling, but it was a little salty, it was estimated that it was made of cured meat, but it was still delicious, Li Er saw that he was eating well, and handed him another piece, but Li Yanqing didn't want it, just try it, and if you eat too much, you will spoil your stomach.

Li Yanqing took a bite of the steamed bun and asked, "Why didn't you see Master at noon?" ”

Li Er pouted, "The old cow is about to sleep when he is full of grass, and he can't be thundered during naptime, even if he throws a firecracker next to his bed, he won't wake up." ”

At this moment, Li San ran over in a panic, "Brother Qing, Wang Gui and Tang Huai have come to trouble you." ”

As soon as Li Yanqing looked up, he saw more than a dozen children clustered around two rich officials wearing brocade and walking briskly towards this side.
