(It's exploded, ask for a recommendation ticket to save your life!) ）－

I read until midnight before Chen Ke went back to his room to sleep. Seeing that Erlang had come back early, he was lying on the bed, looking at the beam and grinning.

"Is this crying or laughing?"

"Laughing and crying at the same time."

"How?"

"Laughing, I'm finally on the street with a little lady;" Chen Erlang said with an inexplicable expression: "What I cry is that when I came back, people said that she was already familiar with the road and didn't have to trouble me anymore......"

"Alas, don't be discouraged. Is the third party involved, there is no stalking spirit, how to insert it. Chen Ke blew out the light, comforted him indiscriminately, and hugged the pillow to meet Zhou Gong. Only Chen Erlang was left tossing and turning there, convincing......

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In a blink of an eye, on the day of registration, Chen Xiliang, who had been insomnia all night, got up with dark circles under his eyes, dragged Wulang out of the quilt first, and then went to Chen Ke's room to knock on the door: "Hurry up, get dressed and eat, otherwise you will be late!" ”

When San Lang finished dressing and washing and sat in the dining hall for breakfast, Chen Xiliang noticed: "Why didn't you wear a newly sewn shirt?" ”

San Lang glanced at Erlang sadly and angrily, and said in a sullen voice: "You ask him." ”

Jiro lowered his head and drank the soup, pretending not to hear. He wouldn't tell his father, because he heard that the shirt was sewn by Banniang herself, so he shamelessly snatched it.

After eating, Chen Xiliang sent his sons to the door, and just as he met Su Xun and Su Shi, Su Zhe was also sent.

"What, you have to send the test in person?" Su Xun saw Chen Xiliang holding an umbrella, as if he was going out, so he asked knowingly: "Alas, being a father and a mother at the same time, it is inevitable that my mother-in-law will be a little bit bigger." ”

"Who said I'm going to deliver it?" Chen Xiliang said with a disdainful face: "My kid is worry-free." ”

"Hey......" Su Xun pouted: "Isn't my kid worrying?" Then he put the bag of dry food on his shoulder and put it on Su Shi's neck and said, "I'll send you here." ”

The old two who were originally going to send them to the exam didn't go. San Lang, Wu Lang, Su Shi, and Su Zhe, who were going to take the exam, went out of the city under the leadership of Chen Erlang.

The county seat has to walk more than ten miles to Zhongyan Temple.

On the left side of the road is the mountain, and on the right side of the road is the river dam. The bamboo trees on the mountain are verdant, the miscellaneous flowers are full of slopes, the rice waves on the dam are rolling, the rape flowers are yellow, from time to time you can see the peasants, the ploughing cattle working on the dam and the mountains, this beautiful mountain village pastoral picture, deeply attracts the teenagers who escaped from the cage, they point to the landscape and the shape of the victory, enjoy the picturesque spring light, and sing and harmonize with each other with poetry.

The so-called singing harmony is to compose poetry and repay others for harmony. There are several ways to sing harmony, the most relaxed is to only make poems and pay for harmony, and do not need to be harmonized with the original rhyme of the poem; The strictest thing is to use the same rhyme and the same words, which is also a good way to hone your poetry skills.

In this era, the ability to compose poetry is a necessary ability for literati. The artificial obstacles are enough to increase the fun of word choice. In this group of people, Su Dongpo's poetry is unique, the rhyme is used easily and naturally, and the poems are also full of beauty. Su Zhe and Chen Ke's poems are worse, both of them can easily control words and rhyme, and the poems are also impressive, but it is difficult to create that inexplicable beauty.

Although Chen Chen is the eldest, his ability to compose poetry is decent, and he can barely keep up with the rhythm of the three of them. As for Goro, after holding back a song with all his strength, he hurried away without saying a word and with great bitterness and hatred.

Just as a few people were talking and laughing, they suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves behind them. The soldiers who were hurrying to the side of the road to avoid it, and saw a few tall horses galloping by, and many people's clothes were splashed with mud...... Gorou is one of them, he cherishes the brand new shirt along the way, and he doesn't go to the slightly muddy places, who knows how to be careful, ten thousand careful, or splashed, which makes him very annoyed, and spouts two words: "Bastard!" ”

The Su Shi brothers were a little embarrassed, because they could see clearly that those few people on the horses were the Cheng family brothers.

"It's ...... them" Chen Ke also recognized the Cheng brothers, who avoided them once in Meishan, and didn't expect to be in Qingshen again. He narrowed his eyes and stared intently at the figure on horseback, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Okay, let's hurry, otherwise we have to get up for five watches in the morning and catch up in the evening." There was too much time to delay, Chen Chen looked at the rising sun and urged.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Meizhou people all say that there is Zhongyan Temple first, and then there is Emei Mountain.

The temple of Zhongyan began in the middle of the Tang Dynasty and was erected by the monks of Tianzhu, and then expanded one after another, and finally became the grand temple complex seen today.

The whole temple group is divided into the lower temple, the middle temple, and the upper temple. The lower temple is located on the bank of the Min River; The middle temple is hidden in the jungle halfway up the mountainside, five miles away from the lower temple; The upper temple stands tall on the peak, and the distance from the middle temple is also five miles. A stone staircase path coils around the rocky forest, stringing the three temples together.

Zhongyan Academy is located in this Zhongyan Temple, and at first it used the backyard of Zhongji as a lecture hall. Its founder, Wang Fangwang Lao Fuzi, built the academy in the temple, first, the environment here is quiet and elegant, far away from the city, which is suitable for preaching and learning, and second, the abbot of the temple is his cousin, and the family is naturally easy to discuss.

With the help of the county government, Wang Yi took down the vacant Zen temples in the upper and lower temples, and after repairing them, they were used as new classrooms and dormitories...... Although the Song people worship Buddhism, the number of monks is far from being comparable with the five dynasties, thanks to Zhou Shizong Chai Rong, a will to order the monks and nuns in the world to return to the laity, and the Song Empire still benefits from this, as evidenced by a large number of abandoned Zen monasteries.

At this moment, Chen Ke and others and more than 1,000 scholars who signed up for the school were led to the lecture platform behind the temple.

A middle-aged man wearing a white silk shirt and a black hat appeared on the pulpit. After the students quieted down, he introduced himself as Yuan, and he was the deacon of the academy: "Since you have come prepared, I will not mention the benefits of this academy." Let's just talk about the structure of this hospital...... My Zhongyan Academy has three levels and six halls. The three primary halls are located in the lower temple, the intermediate two halls are located in the middle temple, and the senior one is located in the upper temple. ”

"After the entrance examination, those who pass the test will enter the three classes of "benevolence", "righteousness" and "etiquette" at the elementary level. After a year and a half, the liberal arts and sciences students will be promoted to the intermediate level of 'wisdom' and 'faith'. After another year and a half, those who are both proficient in history and arts and sciences will be promoted to the advanced 'Spontaneous Hall' to study, and they will be able to graduate after accumulating credits. ”

"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step," Deacon Yuan finally said: "Next, there is the entrance examination of this hospital, and you need to answer carefully, which is related to whether you can be admitted to the hospital this year." After speaking, he rang a golden gong on the stage: "After receiving the number plate, find the corresponding examination room for the preliminary examination." ”

Immediately, there were people from the academy, carrying baskets and distributing number plates to the students. Chen Ke got a T-number, the same number as Su Zhe, Su Shi and Wulang had a A number and a E number, and the four of them went separately to find their respective classrooms.

In the examination room of Chen Ke and Su Zhe, in a meditation room on the east side of the lectern, when the two of them arrived, there were already more than 20 people queuing up in front of them. The students went in one by one, and at most the tea came out, some of them burst into tears, some of them had solemn faces, and none of them looked relaxed.

"Didn't you admit any of them?" Su Zhe was also a little nervous.

"No, eighty percent will not be announced on the spot." Chen Ke relieved him, and when he saw the previous one coming out, he said, "It's my turn, wait for my good news." ”

"Hmm!" Su Zhe nodded heavily and said, "The third brother must be fine!" ”

"Hmm......" Chen Ke was also a little worried in his heart, took a deep breath, and stepped into the meditation room.

In the meditation room, there is a long table, and behind the long table, three middle-aged Confucian people are sitting. When Chen Ke came in, the one in the middle said, "Close the door." ”

Chen Ke did so, returned to the center of the room and stood still, and heard the man ask, "Name, age, place of origin." ”

"Chen Ke, fourteen years old, Qingshenren."

"Where did you go to school before?" Zhongyan Academy was a secondary school in this era, and students generally received a complete primary education in a private school or school before coming here for further study.

"The students are not in school." Chen Ke replied honestly: "Self-taught at home." ”

"Self-taught." The three Confucian scholars laughed and said, "What have you learned?" ”

"Govern primary school first, and then study the "Thirteen Classics".

"To what extent?"

"I don't know anything."

"Hmm." After the routine questioning, the man stopped speaking, and changed his left hand and said, "Test your words." First recite the third chapter of the princes of the Book of Filial Piety. ”

"Not arrogant on top, high but not dangerous; Restraint is modest, full but not overflowing. High but not dangerous, so keep it for a long time. Full but not overflowing, so keep rich for a long time. Wealth does not leave its body, and then it can protect its society, and its people. Cover the filial piety of the princes. Chen Ke replied without hesitation: "Poetry" clouds: 'Trembling, like facing the abyss, like walking on thin ice. ’”

"Recite the Analects again, Constitutional Question 14." The examiner on the left said again.

"Shame on you. Zi said: 'The state has a way, a valley. Bang Wudao, Valley, shame also. This was not at all difficult for Chen Ke, and he recited it fluently: "...... Zi said: 'Poor without grievances, rich without arrogance. ’”

"That's it." The examiner on the left shouted to stop.

"Let's talk about it again." It was the turn of the examiner on the right to speak: "Zeng Zi said: 'What! Filial piety is also great. Say this. ”

Although you are asked to preach the scriptures, you still have to memorize them. Every Confucian classic has a commentary, the commentary of the Book of Filial Piety is called "The Book of Filial Piety and Justice", and there is a detailed explanation of each article of the scripture, you only need to answer word by word according to the rules, if it is changed, it is wrong. It is rigid and rigid, but this is the basis for writing reasoned and well-founded articles in the future—where the basis comes from, only the Thirteen Classics and their commentaries. As a basic training, yes.

"Referring to the infinite humility of filial piety, I know that filial piety is great. Zi said: 'Husband and filial piety, the scriptures of heaven, the righteousness of the earth, and the deeds of the people. ......" Chen Ke himself has an excellent memory, and he uses the inductive summary memory method of later generations, so his answer is not bad at all: "...... Fa Tianming takes it for granted, because of the geographical advantage to do righteousness, and according to this, to govern and teach, then do not wait for seriousness to become reasonable. ”

The examiner asked him again to tell him a sentence of the Analects, and after listening to the score, he nodded and said, "Very solid." ”

"Well, it's hard to learn on your own." Several examiners who had been keeping a straight face all smiled, and the one in the middle said directly: "Go out and rest, wait for the results to be announced." ”

"I'm tired of the three teachers." Chen Ke knew that he should have passed, so he saluted respectfully and withdrew.
