Early in the morning of July 22, Zhang Yuan invited Zhang Daixiang, the eldest brother of Xizhang, to accompany him to study in the social sciences behind the Fuxue Palace.

At the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang issued an edict to establish social studies, every fifty families should set up a social science, so that the children of good families can study, social studies are all governmental, books such as the Four Books and Five Classics are free, social science teachers are hired by the local county order, and the money is also paid by the county office.

Yongle, Xuande years of social science is the most prosperous, known as "the family has the sound of string recitation, people have the ambition of Qingyun", Zhu Yuanzhang through the imperial examination road to the heart of the world's scholars to envelop, but after Jiajing private learning rise, some states and counties of social science will gradually abandon, Shaoxing Mansion is the peak of literary style, social science is better, only Shanyin County has nearly 200 social studies, in recent years, because of the guidance of good teachers, Confucian children in the examination of children, more than other social studies, so there are more than 40 Confucian children who come here to study, And there are only one or twenty people in general social studies.

Fuxue palace is located on the left bank of the Fu River, only a mile away from Zhang Yuan's house, it was originally a temple, the gods enshrined are nameless, Jiajing destroyed the silver temple, the temple was changed to social science, from the gate into a square courtyard, the social science teacher has been standing in the school door waiting for the new Confucian children, is a thin middle-aged man, white skin, sparse beard, two eyes without a god, Zhang Yuan bowed to him when the teacher also yawned, to receive Zhang Yuan personally presented the apprenticeship gift before smiling, well, the meat and vegetables are still fresh.

The newly enrolled Confucian children should be accompanied by their father and brother to meet Master Meng, Zhang Yuan's father is not at home, Zhang Yuan has no sibling brother, only to invite his brother Zhang Dai to come, Zhang Dai was stunned when he saw this yawning teacher, and asked: "It turned out to be Brother Zhaoxia, is Mr. Zeng no longer here?" I thought: "Zhou Zhaoxia can also be a teacher!" ”

The new Mengshi Zhou Zhaoxia naturally will not fail to recognize the prodigy Zhang Dai, both of them are students in this county, Zhou Zhaoxia is a twenty-year veteran, he smiled and said: "Zongzi Xian brother, Shaohui, Shaohui, that Mr. Zeng's old mother died of illness and went home to mourn, and the Confucian children here are temporarily taught by the foolish brother." ”

Zhang Dai looked at his clan brother Zhang Yuan, smiled, and said, "Jie Zi, then you can study here for two days with Brother Zhaoxia, I can't stay longer, I will go to Wulin tomorrow." ”

Zhou Zhaoxia said: "The virtuous brother of the sect is going to take the township test, I wish high school, the foolish brother is now fame, and he only takes enlightenment and post-learning as his career." ”

Zhang Yuan said: "When will the eldest brother leave tomorrow, and I will see off the eldest brother?" ”

Zhang Dai waved his hand: "No need, you should study in social studies, don't learn from Yanke." After saying that, he shook his head and laughed and left.

Although Zhang Yuan felt that the demeanor of the eldest brother Zhang Dai was a little strange, he couldn't understand why?

Zhou Zhaoxia led Zhang Yuan into the school, the school was high and open, it was originally a temple, and now there are dozens of tables and chairs, but there are only a dozen students sitting there sparsely, seeing Zhang Yuan coming in, he looked at it curiously, Zhang Dingyi was also among them, got up and shouted: "Brother Jiezi." ”

A Confucian boy on the side asked Zhang Dingyi: "What do you call him, Ring?" Does his family have a ring jewelry shop? ”

Another Confucian boy chuckled and said, "It's only a big man to come to study, he's sixteen years old, hehe, he looks so stupid standing there." ”

Zhang Yuan also felt a little stupid, the youngest Confucian children here were only seven or eight years old, and most of them were twelve or thirteen years old, but there was one who looked older than him, but he was stunned.

Zhang Yuanxin said: "Do I want to start from the first grade of primary school? ”

"Quiet, quiet—"

Mengshi Zhou Zhaoxia patted the waking wood, and then introduced Zhang Yuan to the students, Zhang Yuan gave two salutes to the students, and the classmates returned the salute, and this was the end, and he didn't say that he wanted to worship Confucius and worship the sika deer or something.

Zhou Zhaoxia called Zhang Yuan aside and asked, "Have you read the "Three Character Classic"?" ”

When he first entered social studies, those under the age of eight first studied the "Three Character Classic", then "Hundred Family Names", and then "Thousand Character Text", Zhou Zhaoxia saw that Zhang Yuan only entered social studies at the age of fifteen, I am afraid that he was naughty and refused to read when he was young, so he asked.

Zhang Yuan replied: "The students have already read the Four Books and the Five Classics, and they are asking the teacher for advice on the art of making the arts. ”

Zhou Zhaoxia said "oh", as if he didn't believe it, and said, "Then I'll test you, is Yao Shun one person or two people?" ”

What kind of problem is this, Zhang Yuan replied with his surname: "It's two people, one is called Yao and the other is Shun." ”

Zhou Zhaoxia asked again: "Is it one person or two people?" ”

Tai Ming is one of the seventy-two disciples of Confucius, the surname is Tai, the word Ziyu, because of his ugly appearance, he was disliked by Confucius, and he did not want to teach him.

For Zhang Yuan, who is familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, asking this kind of question is simply contempt, thinking of the strange demeanor of Zhang Dai, the eldest brother of Fangcai, his heart moved, and he replied: "It's definitely two people." ”

Zhou Zhaoxia didn't laugh out loud, it seemed that Zhang Yuan's answer was wrong as he expected, well, this question is too difficult, you can't blame Zhang Yuan, and said: "Don't be too ambitious, honestly start reading the "Three Character Classic", is the art of making so easy to learn, read for five years and then learn the art of making - this is your book, keep it, go back to your seat, that is, the third row from the left." ”

Zhang Yuan sat down with the thin illustrated book "Three Character Classic", and listened to the Mengshi Zhou Zhaoxia yawn and said: "Good students study, ask each other the words they don't know, and wait for the teacher to come to spot check, remember, read silently." He dusted off the sleeves of his robe and walked into the neighboring room and never came out.

Zhang Dingyi moved over to sit next to Zhang Yuan, and said with a low smile: "Mr. is sleeping, don't wake him up." ”

Zhang Yuan rolled his eyes and asked, "When did this gentleman come?" ”

Zhang Dingyi: "It's been half a month since I came, this gentleman is good, he doesn't care much about us, the original Mr. Zeng is so strict." ”

Zhang Yuan asked: "Didn't you say that there are more than 30 students here, why-oh, understood, as soon as Mr. Zhou came, the good students left, and you were left." ”

Zhang Ding smiled and said: "We are not bad, we go out early and return to study late every day, hehe." ”

It's the first day of the year, the red is shining in the east, the light is bright, the wind blows from the Fu River, with a slightly earthy smell of water, the weather is not hot or cold, this is a good time to study, but these students who watch the school are either talking to each other, or scribbling and drawing on paper, some are also turning over a bucket in the open space, and some are holding a small slingshot to shoot paper bullets everywhere -

Zhang Yuan's ears were sensitive, and when he heard the faint snoring in the neighboring room, he asked Zhang Dingyi: "This surnamed Zhou sleeps a lot during the day?" ”

Zhang Dingyi stuck out his tongue: "Brother Jiezi, you are so bold, dare to call Mr. Zhou like this - Mr. Zhou does not sleep during the day, sometimes he plays horse hangs at night, and he has to sleep during the day, and Mr. Zhou loves to play horse hangings the most." ”

Zhang Yuan knows that Ma Hang is the predecessor of mahjong, isn't this ** Mr. Hang a mistaken child!

With a "pounce", a ball of paper catapulted on the back of Zhang Yuan's head, Zhang Yuan turned around, and several teenage Confucian children were sitting upright, I don't know which one shot him.

Zhang Dingyi pointed to one of them and said, "Brother Jie Zi, it's him, Li Zhu, Li Zhu shot you." ”

Zhang Yuan stood up, and Li Zhu thought that Zhang Yuan was going over to beat him, so he quickly jumped out of his seat, screaming and running away.

"What's the noise!"

With a loud shout, Mengshi Zhou Zhaoxia rushed out angrily, people who were disturbed to sleep were irritable, Zhou Zhaoxia grabbed Li Zhu, who threw himself into the net, dragged him to the side of the bookcase, and wanted to beat Li Zhu with a ring ruler.

Li Zhu shouted: "Sir, sir, it's not me, it's the newcomer Zhang Yuan Zhang Huan wants to beat me, Zhang Yuan also calls Mr. You are surnamed Zhou, very rude, isn't it?" ”
