Chapter 21: Mr. Li (I) The Third Update
Dou Family Village does not refer to a single village.
Along the Yishui River to the south, there are more than a dozen villages of different sizes, which are dependent on the wings of the Dou family to survive. There are more than 10,000 people in this village. If these people are brought together, a town can be formed. Since the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Dou family has always stood on the right side, and has formed a huge network with the military aristocracy of Guanlong and the family of Guandong gate lords.
Dou Yi was a relative of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and Dou Rongding was a relative of the Sui Dynasty......
If you count the Dou family in the Han Dynasty and the Han Dynasty, plus Li Yuan in the future, then the Dou family can really be called an out-and-out family of relatives. It is with such a position that the strength of the Dou family's clan village in Luoyang has long surpassed that of the Zheng family.
Whether the Zheng family is willing to admit it or not, the Dou family, an old gate valve with a history that is not weaker than the Kwantung clan, has been revitalized after experiencing the fall of the late Eastern Han Dynasty, showing unparalleled vitality. They have connotation, but they also have strength. Even the military aristocrats of Guanlong had to be a little more careful when facing the Dou family.
Zheng Shi'an seems to look down on the Dou family a little, thinking that the Dou family's bloodline is impure and has long been Hu.
But Zheng Yanqing didn't dare to underestimate the Dou family...... Such an eight-hundred-year-old aristocratic gate valve has become stronger and stronger in the change of dynasties. To paraphrase a later generation: The people of the Dou family have a political mind that ordinary people can't match.
They know how to choose and know how to go with the flow.
The right choice once is said to be luck; But every time you choose the right one, it's not just luck, it's more about vision.
There is no doubt that the people of the Dou family are very discerning.
Therefore, when Zheng Yanqing stepped into the Dou family school, he did not mean to despise it at all.
With a sense of awe, he came to the school and became a member of the Dou family school with a group of children.
Doujia School, adjacent to Luoyang Jingu Park.
During the Western Jin Dynasty, there was a wealthy Shi Chong to build the Golden Valley Garden, which has a history of 300 years.
The grass in the courtyard is green, and the water is murmuring. Although it has been abandoned for a long time, the scenery is still very moving. The school building is not far from the Jingu Garden, climb the branches of the school building, you can see the rockery and flowing water, pavilions and pavilions in the Jingu Garden.
That is to say, the Dou family, a powerful gatekeeper, can establish a school here, and other idlers do not have this kind of energy at all.
The school house is a reading house, with three courtyards in the front, middle and back, where different skills are taught. Meng Xue was concentrated in the vestibule, sitting in the classroom, and through the window, you could see the singing of birds and flowers outside the window. A quiet world, with a bit of solemnity.
The gentleman who taught Yanqing and the others was about to be in his early thirties, which was very young.
He was born with a Chinese face, a slightly bronze complexion, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he was not angry and arrogant. Dressed in a white robe, it exudes a bit of elegance. Although most of the time, he always has a smile on his face, but the children in the classroom are always a little afraid of him.
I can't say what the reason is, maybe it's a trace of majesty in my bones.
Zheng Yanqing knew that this gentleman's surname was Li, his name was Li Ji, and he was a gentleman that Dou Kang specially invited back from Youzhou.
Dou Kang, although he is not the head of the family, is one of the most powerful figures in the Dou family today.
After all, Dou Kang's father, Dou Rongding, was born in the imperial family, and he is still Yang Jian's nephew.
Li Ji led the students to bow to the sages in the middle hall of the school, and then began to formally teach.
He talked about "Five Cangs", which was also the most popular Mongolian textbook at that time. These five cangs are roughly the same as Yan Shigu's "Cangjie Chapter" by Professor Xu Shiji and Zheng Hongyi. The so-called Wucang is based on the "Cangjie Chapter" made by Li Si in the Qin Dynasty, the "Calendar Chapter" written by Zhao Gao, and the "Erudite Chapter" written by Hu Wujing. Since the Han Dynasty, these three articles have been combined into one, commonly known as "Cangjie Chapter", and changed from Qin Xiaozhen to Han Liwen, also known as "Sancang Book".
During the Wei and Jin dynasties, the "Discipline Chapter" and the "Joy Chapter" were added, so it was renamed "Wucang".
This is the enlightenment textbook of the Sui Dynasty, and it is the same as the "Thousand Character Text", which is a four-character rhyme, with every sixty words and a chapter.
On the one hand, it can be copied and learned by children, and on the other hand, it is easy to read.
In class, Li Ji recited articles, yin and yang frustrated, and had a strong sense of rhythm. The students read along, and although they may not be able to understand the meaning, they can roughly recite it. It turns out that recitation is also a university question.
Lee Ki's recitation was completely different from the kind of poetry recitation in later generations.
Shake your head and follow the rhythm. His voice, drowned out by the immature child's voice, echoed over the school. This way of reading is easy to get people into the feeling. Zheng Yanqing thought the shaking of his head was funny at first, but gradually, he was immersed in it. Before I knew it, a stick of incense went out, but it was between classes.
Li Ji put down the book and said with a smile: "Let's go out and rest for a while, and when we hear the bell, let's start learning words." ”
"Thank you, sir, for your teachings!"
The students stood up one after another and thanked Li Ji.
Before school starts, this etiquette must be learned. The so-called etiquette cannot be abolished, and the students should bow to the teacher to show respect for the teacher and appreciate the hard work of the teacher in imparting knowledge; The gentleman should also bow to thank the students for their attendance.
In short, there are a lot of rituals and a lot of exquisiteness.
Zheng Yanqing finally understood why later generations always said 'the state of etiquette', through one etiquette, you can understand the profound connotation hidden in it. You may not understand it when you are young, but as you get older, you will gradually understand it. It's a pity that in the era of Yanqing's previous life, these traditional ancient rites have been lost, and even become four dislikes.
The children took advantage of the break and walked out of the schoolhouse.
Yan Qing was about to go out, but was stopped by Li Ji: "Your name is Zheng Yanqing, are you from the Zheng family?" ”
"Sir, the student is from An Yuan Tang, the old housekeeper of An Yuan Tang, and the student's grandfather......"
Zheng Yanqing replied respectfully.
For some reason, he always felt that this Mr. Li Ji looked very kind.
Li Ji nodded, "I heard that Zheng Caopeng invited Yan Zhou to be the western seat, how did you come to the Dou family's village school to study?" ”
"This ...... The student is not clear. ”
Li Ji looked at him and said in a deep voice: "Actually, it doesn't matter where you study, the key is yourself." Yanqing, I watched your performance in class, and it seems that you also know a lot of words, who have you learned from before? Which book are you reading? ”
Zheng Yanqing often reads it once, and he can memorize it without leaving ten.
His performance is naturally different from that of other students. Li Ji noticed this, so he asked Yanqing to stay.
"When I was a young student, I studied with my nurse for a while, and later when I was cleaning the old man's study, I saw Liu Xiong's monument."
Li Ji's eyes lit up, "So, you can also write?" ”
"Well, I've learned a bit."
Yan Qing didn't dare to say too much. The characters of the Sui and Tang dynasties are quite different from the simplified characters he learned in later generations. Some of the words he recognized because he copied the inscriptions, or for other reasons; But there are some words that I really don't know.
This is also an important reason why he wants to study village school.
Li Ji nodded, "Well, then I understand...... You have a good foundation, but you can't burn out because of it. The starting point is high, and the requirements are high. In the future, I will be stricter with you than others, and you need to be prepared. ”
Yan Qing didn't know what Li Ji's words came from.
Instinctively, he sensed that Lee Ki seemed to treat him differently than any other child. Is it a good thing or a bad thing? Zheng Yanqing couldn't speak. However, since Li Ji said so, Yanqing still respectfully thanked him, and then withdrew from the class.
After a short break, everyone re-entered the class.
Li Jizhong taught schoolwork again, but this time, he mainly focused on writing and asked everyone to write Wucang texts on the sand table.
