Sanwei Academy is indeed in Nancheng, not far from the bamboo building rented by the Xie family. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Bringing himself to the front of the academy by tolerance, Xie Shen arched his hand and said, "Thank you for tolerance."

If it is in a drama or film and television drama, Xie Shen should take out a silver bean now, and at the worst time, he has to take out one or two silver and two treasure bills to make a dot. But the Xie family was too poor, and Xie Shen really didn't have anything to get his hands on, so he had to praise the officials spiritually.

Fortunately, the official didn't seem to be very angry, and only said lightly: "Don't be polite to the little minister, this is the order of the eldest master, and I don't dare to accept such a big gift from the little minister."

Xie Shen sighed in his heart that it would be good to have someone to support him. He is just a little boy who has not taken the county exam, but since Wu County Decree has used the title of virtuous student, he has even respected himself with these tolerances, and shouted a little Xianggong, even Xie Shen, who has always been known for his cheekiness, is a little embarrassed.

Xianggong is an honorific title for Xiucai, and not everyone can enjoy it. But since this tolerance has been called, Xie Shen is not easy to refuse.

The name of Confucius is Kong Dedao, and although he is respected as a county school teacher, he also privately opened the Sanwei Academy to earn some money.

This is not to say that Mr. Kong has an eye for money, he really has a large family to support, and the county school is really not enough.

The knowledge that can teach in the county school will not be bad. Kong Dedao was born as a Jinshi, two grades higher than the old master Liu who was born in Xiucai.

Of course, even in the county school, Kong Dedao rarely teaches in person, and is more preached by the teacher Xi below.

This is why Kong Dedao has time to open a private academy, he is a big Buddha who does not do anything, mainly accepts the respect of the students.

The messenger sent Xie Shen to the gate and left, and the young man was led into the mansion by the porter. Unlike Old Master Liu, the Sanwei Academy taught by Confucius was not opened in his own house, but in a separate courtyard in the south of the city.

......

......

Although it seems that the scale of the school is a little smaller, the environment is very quiet.

"Little Prime Minister, please wait for a moment, and the little one will go and report it."

The concierge's attitude was very respectful, which made Xie Shen feel good.

"There's Brother Lao."

Xie Shen looked around the courtyard and found that the Three Flavors Academy was a little small, but the layout was extremely exquisite. Small bridges and flowing water, rockery pavilions are not lacking. The space of the whole garden has a strong sense of staggering, and the end is to change the scenery to the extreme.

When I heard that every household of the wealthy gentry in Jiangnan had a garden, I was impressed when I saw Xie Shen today.

After a short time, the porter stepped out and said respectfully, "Little Prime Minister, please come in."

Xie Shen tidied up his clothes, took a deep breath and entered the main house of the academy.

The house is not big, more than half smaller than the White Deer Academy of Old Master Liu.

Xie Shen glanced at it roughly, and there were no more than twenty sets of tables and chairs in the room.

He didn't see Confucius's edict, but he didn't dare to sit down, so he stood with his hands tied and waited quietly.

It seems that today is not the day of the start of classes, why are there no students entering the school?

When Xie Shen was in a daze, he coughed lightly and hurriedly turned around.

"You're Xie Shen?"

It was an old man of about sixty years of age, whose hair had turned gray, but whose spirit was very grasping.

"Student Xie Shen meets Confucius."

Kong Dedao hummed, then waved his hand and said: "The county respected specially wrote a handwritten letter and sent someone to send it to the old man, saying that you are talented and intelligent, and your knowledge is extraordinary. Since the county personally recommended you, stay and study. ”

Xie Shenxin said in his heart, this Confucian edict is really a gentle and kind character.

Wonderful people, wonderful people.

"Thank you, sir."

Xie Shen immediately changed his words and first confirmed the master-apprentice relationship.

In this day and age, having a good master is just as important as having a good father. Xie Shen was born in a poor family, and his father didn't have to choose, but fortunately, he hugged the thigh of the county school teacher, and this beginning was not too bad.

"The college enters the school for 20 days every month, with a 10-day break and a five-day holiday."

Kong Dedao said unhurriedly, as if he was afraid that Xie Shen would be nervous and couldn't hear clearly.

Xie Shen secretly complained in his heart. Ten days off, this is much stricter than the rules of Old Master Liu. However, there are advantages to being strict, and the time left for him is only two years. If you don't hurry up and study, it will be difficult for the county to win the first case.

"I live in the college during my studies, and I can go home when I take a break from school."

Xie Shen was completely stunned now, and the Ming Dynasty began to have a boarding system? No, after all, he is almost thirty years old, and it is really uncomfortable to be disciplined like a child. What's more, there will be an extra amount of money on the cost of living in the college. His family is not wealthy, and he wants his eldest brother Xie Fang to come up with another sum of money, but Xie Shen is a little speechless.

Seeing Xie Shen's depressed face, Kong Dedao smiled and said, "Why are you worried about the constraints and academic qualifications?" The old man doesn't hide it from you, the county has already sent someone to deliver the money to the old man. ”

No, this Wu County Ling is really a good old man who cherishes talents, Xie Shen just made a link that can't be considered amazing and got his old man to take care of him like this, which made Xie Shen a little moved.

"The kindness of the county is beyond the reach of the students!"

Kong Dedao shook his head and said: "The county respects me, and I hope that my Yuyao students can study like you, and you must also devote yourself to study, and you can't live up to the expectations of the county."

Compared with the academic qualifications, what made Xie Shen even more pleased was that he already had a place in Wu County's heart. As long as Wu Xianling remembers him as a person and mentions two sentences on his lips at all times, his situation will not be bad. What's more, Confucius seems to appreciate him a lot, and if he gets these two people, he won't be bullied if he walks sideways in Yuyao City, at least he won't be bullied.

"Today is a day off, and tomorrow we will start officially entering school. The old man will also give you a vacation, go back and tidy up. ”

Xie Shen only felt as if he was in a dream, and in just a few days, his situation had changed drastically. From an obscure son of a poor family to a junior student who is favored by the county and appreciated by the teachings, it is really impermanence that the world depends on creation.

Routines, all this is routines. Although Xie Shen is reluctant to admit it, the routine is indeed popular. It seems that interpersonal relationships were also crucial in the Ming Dynasty, and office politics was used everywhere.

"So the students will take their leave."

Xie Shen bowed to Confucius, hurriedly walked out of the academy, and hurried back to his own bamboo building.

Sister-in-law Xie Chen was washing vegetables on the first floor of the bamboo building, Xie Shen couldn't hold back the joy in his heart for a long time, and said loudly: "Sister-in-law, Shen'er's bundle money and the senior scholar who stayed in the academy have already sent someone to Confucius to raise it, so there is no need for the eldest brother to raise it again."

Xie Chen was taken aback, what a noble figure the eldest master was, he would put down his body for Shen'er and take out the funds to help him. But she immediately understood, it must be Shen'er's talent and intelligence that makes the eldest master happy, and the eldest master is a person who cherishes talents, and it is not difficult to understand that he has made a student aid.
