Ji Ning arrived at the Temple of Literature in Jinling City.

Although he hadn't been here before, he still seemed familiar with the road this time, as if he was even familiar with the road, and after arriving, the title of the scholar Zhuang Su in the Temple of Literature came out to meet Ji Ning.

Zhuang Su in the entire Confucian Temple system of the Great Yong Dynasty, ranked fifth or sixth, and his prestige is also very high, after he saw Ji Ning, the two of them saw each other first, and then Zhuang Su told Ji Ning about the situation of the Confucian Temple in Jinling City: "...... Yongning, the Confucian Temple in Jinling City, is divided into two systems, one is the Guozijian in Jinling City, and then the Confucian Temple in Jinling City, Guozijian is not under our jurisdiction, there are usually any big festivals, we will go over to see, as for the Confucian Temple, there is a title of university scholar, six bachelors, eighty-three trainee bachelors, and you are one of the six bachelors. ”

"Hmm." Ji Ning nodded, in fact, these things were already known before he arrived in Jinling City.

Zhuang Su said again: "You should also know that your master, that is, Shen Daxue, once served as the Guozi Supervisor in Jinling City, and his status was respected, after he retired, now the Guozijian in Jinling City is under the jurisdiction of Han Daxue, and you can also go over to visit if you have time, but I think you have just returned to Jinling City, and many things are not very familiar, so you will settle down at home first, and the people who see Guozijian are not in a hurry...... As a bachelor of the Confucian Temple, there are four study halls in Jinling City, divided into benevolence and filial piety, etiquette, virtue and humility, among these four halls, only the Deming Hall lacks the person in charge, so you will be under the control, you will have 22 apprentice bachelors, you can see it back, you just came today, and you are not in a hurry to meet! ”

Ji Ning knew that in the entire Confucian Temple system in Jinling City, the head of the four study halls was also the most basic official position, and with his identity, he could actually be said to be in power.

However, the original Confucian Temple in Jinling City didn't care about political affairs, even if it was the head of the study hall, there was no big privilege, and he would still be the same as before, responsible for researching knowledge, and then some sacrifices and celebrations, he was also trying to be idle in the Confucian Temple.

Zhuang Su got up and said: "Yongning, you just arrived in Jinling City, and I don't have time to take you around, so I asked someone to take you for a walk around the Confucian Temple in Jinling City, so that you can familiarize yourself with the environment, Wen'an, you come out to accompany Master Ji for a walk, and he will also be your boss in the future!" ”

After Zhuang Su finished speaking, a person came out from behind the screen, but it was a trainee bachelor in his twenties, after Zhuang Su's introduction, Ji Ning knew that this person's surname was Lin, his name was Tingheng, and his name was Wen'an, which was very young among the trainee bachelors in Jinling City, because this person was also from Deming Shutang, and he would also be dispatched by Ji Ning in the future.

Lin Tingheng saluted and said: "Bachelor Ji, I have heard the name for a long time, and I finally saw it today, which is really a blessing for three lives!" ”

Everyone will have a different personality, Ji Ning observed this Lin Tingheng, it seems that he likes to tie people up, Ji Ning can see a compliment from Lin Tingheng's face, but thinking about himself as Lin Tingheng's boss, it is understandable that the other party is a little flattering to himself.

Ji Ning said: "Master Lin is polite, Scholar Zhuang, so that Master Lin will take him around, so I won't bother much!" ”

"Good!" Zhuang Su seemed to have other things to do, so he got up and said goodbye, letting Lin Tingheng take Ji Ning to walk in the Temple of Literature.

……

……

Lin Tingheng took Ji Ning around the Temple of Literature in Jinling City, and introduced all the landmark buildings, Ji Ning kept listening, and he didn't express any opinions.

Although he is the boss, his qualifications in Jinling City are not very deep, just because he passed the bachelor's examination of the Confucian Temple and has the literary name of a bachelor, if it is in the officialdom where seniority is ranked, it is not the turn of a rising star like him to come out and take power.

Ji Ning asked, "Wen'an, when did you enter the Jinling City Confucian Temple?" ”

Lin Tingheng smiled and said: "I was a Jinshi six years ago, and then I passed the bachelor's exam of the Confucian Temple and entered the Confucian Temple, and then I was transferred to Jinling City, and I have been living in Jinling City for five years!" ”

"Brother Wen An is not from Jinling City?" Ji Ning asked curiously.

"No, it's from Jiangyue, I don't know where Master Ji is from?" Lin Tingheng asked curiously.

Ji Ning said with a smile: "I was originally from Jinling, but I have been studying abroad and have never come back. ”

"Oh, that's not like, listening to the accent of Bachelor Ji, I thought it was a northerner, but the accent of this outsider has been assimilated by the local vernacular of Jinling City, which is really a bit ironic!" Lin Tingheng said, pointed to the pavilion on the side, and said, "Are you tired of Bachelor Ji, let's go over and rest together, how about talking?" ”

Ji Ning nodded, and went to the pavilion by the water with Lin Tingheng, Ji Ning said: "If you want to say that the Confucian Temple in Jinling City is much larger than that in the capital, maybe every inch of land in the capital is gold!" ”

"Haha!" Lin Tingheng said with a smile, "Bachelor Ji said, I also thought that in fact, the size of a study hall in Jinling City may be much wider than the Confucian Temple in the capital, and it is really because the Confucian Temple in Jinling City has a long history, and the high academic atmosphere in Jinling City is also because of the Confucian Temple. ”

Ji Ning smiled, he didn't care about Lin Tingheng's compliment, he knew that his status in Jinling City was not high at all, even if he was in charge of the Deming Academy, but in fact, there were still some scholars of the Temple of Literature whose status was higher than him, which might affect his daily work.

"When is Bachelor Ji going to meet his colleagues?" Lin Tingheng asked, "I don't mean anything else, I just want to ask clearly, and I can make arrangements, after all, many of the apprentices in the Temple of Literature have a holiday, and they can only be seen in one day if they are notified in advance!" ”

Ji Ning thought for a while and said, "Then the day after tomorrow, how about it?" I still have to settle down at home in the next two days, and it should be about the same at noon the day after tomorrow, and then I will set up a banquet to entertain you......"

"Where do you dare to let Ji Bachelor break the bank? Even if it's a banquet, it's up to us! Lin Tingheng seems to be a person who knows the rules very well in the Confucian Temple system, and he can often walk in front of the title of university scholar Zhuang Su, so he knows that this person is very good at stammering with his boss.

Ji Ning didn't have any dislike for Lin Tingheng, there were originally hundreds of people in this world, and he didn't want to evaluate the behavior of these people.

Ji Ning nodded and said: "Everything is still after seeing colleagues the day after tomorrow, let's walk here first, and when you are almost familiar with the road, you will leave, so as not to see some colleagues, and it will be a little embarrassing!" ”
