Chapter 9 Back to the article out of the limelight

The rules of the inner study hall are that new children must not be more than twelve years old, Chen Mo is seventeen, and he has already exceeded five years old, because of Chen Ju's relationship, he was able to enter, it can be seen that the word rules, but for those who have no power and power, whether ancient or modern, it is the same.

The age of the students is as young as ** years old, as big as seventeen or eighteen, there are nearly 200 people, and they are divided into four classrooms according to their age, arranged in the order of A, B, C, D, Chen Mo was assigned to the T-character, Chen Ju led him into the door, and the room was full of half-sized children in green clothes.

Seeing that Chen Mo was personally sent by the master in charge, he naturally got on the pole and stammered, and after some scramble, a fat man had great strength, Chen Mo was dragged to the seat next to him, and then the low bell rang, and the students returned to their original positions one after another, and the classroom suddenly fell silent.

"What's your name?" The fat man asked in a whisper.

"Chen Mo, there are few words. What about you? Chen Mo asked rhetorically.

"What a coincidence," the fat man showed surprise on his face: "We are also surnamed Chen, our name is increased, we are from the Inner Palace Supervisor Tian's Mansion, and we haven't written a table yet." ”

Tian Yi? Chen Mo flashed this name in his mind, glanced at Chen Zeng sideways, and saw that he was chubby and smiling like Maitreya Buddha, and said in his heart that he would have a good relationship with this person in the future. Wait, he suddenly felt that the name Chen Zeng was also a little familiar, and when he thought about it, he couldn't remember it.

"Ahem, huh!" A light cough sounded outside the door, the sound of ear-to-ear exchanges in the classroom stopped abruptly, and in the silence where the needle could be heard, a middle-aged man wearing a red robe and a Zhongjing crown walked into the classroom.

The Ming Court stipulates that those above the fourth grade can wear red, and seeing that they are dressed in red, Chen Mo couldn't help but widen his eyes, and said in his heart Aren't the teachers of the Inner Book Hall all low-level officials of the Hanlin Academy, who is this person who enters in a grand manner?

"Wang Liang!"

With the voice of the middle-aged man, a Humpty Dumpty man in the front row stood up tremblingly.

"The so-called ruler must be the one who has his family......" The middle-aged man got up, and Wang Liang began to follow his back: "His family can't be taught, and those who can teach people can't." Therefore, the gentleman did not leave home and became a teacher in the country......" is a paragraph in "University", Zhao Haochen was able to recite it backwards when he was in junior high school, and Wang Liang also memorized it very smoothly at the beginning, and recited it: "Yao Shun led the world to benevolence, and the people followed it ......" After that, he stuck the shell, "Ji Xuan, Ji ......" several times, and finally stopped in a cold snort of the middle-aged man, and lowered his head as if resigned to his fate.

"'From the world to violence' to 'Therefore, governing the country is in Qi Qi's house, a total of sixty-three words, two words and one board, spare you one word, thirty-one boards, and go to the admiral to receive the punishment after leaving school...... Li Tianyou, you back! ”

Li Tianyou is Zhang Whale's righteous son, the same age as Chen Mo, he is the senior of the T-shaped class, handsome, delicate, stood up, pinched his throat and recited the paragraph recited by Wang Liang, who was a talented person, like a woman.

He recited very smoothly, but Chen Mo's mind had already shifted to the former emperor Longqing, Shi Zai Longqing preferred male style in the later period, and Meng Chong, the master of ceremonies at that time, was promoted because he found him a beautiful little eunuch - I don't know if there is such a habit today?

However, when Chen Mo thought of the decades-long dispute over the national capital in the near future, he suddenly laughed dumbly: Thinking nonsense, if Zhu Yijun really likes men, he will not be antagonistic to the ministers of the foreign court for so long for a concubine Zheng.

At the moment of pondering, several people had already memorized the text, and the middle-aged people had clear rewards and punishments, and even Zhang Decheng, another righteous son of Zhang Whale, was punished with five boards for memorizing nine words wrongly.

After a few more people, it was Chen Mo's turn, the middle-aged man looked over with sharp eyes, and his voice was cold: "New here?" What is your name? ”

"Chen Mo, few words!" Chen Mo stood up and replied aloud, but he didn't realize that with Xiao Ding Ding, who appeared inexplicably after the crossing, his voice gradually became louder and thicker.

Zhang Decheng and Li Tianyou were in the front row, hearing Chen Mo's voice, they turned their heads back at the same time, and after glancing at Chen Mo, the two looked at each other with a somewhat ambiguous expression.

"Have you studied University?" The middle-aged man's voice was still cold.

Chen Mo replied modestly: "The student used to be an errand boy in the Gaofu study room before coming to the inner study hall, and he had already heard of this sacred classic. ”

"Possible recitation?"

"Maybe you can give it a try!"

The middle-aged man frowned imperceptibly, and said coldly: "Very good, you can start with 'what the people are good for, and what the people are evil'!" ”

"Yes," Chen Mo coughed lightly and began to recite: "What the people are good for, and what the people are evil, this is the parents of the people." Poetry: 'Jiebi South Mountain, Weishi Yanyan, Hehe Shiyin, Mingu Erzhan. 'He who has a country...... This means that the country does not take profit for profit, but also for righteousness. ”

This paragraph is the back part of "University", Zhao Haochen can recite it backwards when he goes to school, and now he recites it again, but there has been an interval of at least ten years, and he was worried that he would not be able to recite it.

While looking at the middle-aged man, Chen Mo thought: Shouldn't I have traveled once, and my memory has become better, right?

As Chen Mo's last word landed, the students in the classroom looked at him one after another, surprised and envious, and couldn't express it. In a word, on the first day of school, he was in the limelight, and I believe that after this recitation, no one in the inner study hall will know his name.

Chen Zeng sat on the seat and looked up at Chen Mo, his chubby face was filled with a light of worship, only the cold light in the depths of his eyes flashed away, and he didn't even notice it.

The middle-aged man's expression was still unwavering, and he raised his head slightly: "It's okay to recite it, do you know what it means?" ”

"I heard my father-in-law say that this text was written by the saint's disciple Zeng Zi, the words are simple and profound, and the students have shallow knowledge and have not yet understood the connotation, and I hope that Mr. will teach." Chen Mo took everyone's performance in his eyes, deeply regretted Meng Lang, and didn't want to be in the limelight at this moment.

"Your father-in-law is the father-in-law Chen, right? The summary is not bad, this article is indeed Ziyu (Zeng Zi's surname Zeng Mingshen, the word Ziyu) Mr. made, mainly summarizes the theory of moral cultivation of pre-Qin Confucianism, as well as the basic principles and methods of moral cultivation, and has a great effect on today's people to do things, be a man, establish a career, etc., is a good work to apply and be used for life, which is worth reading often. Okay, sit down first, Chen Zeng, you back! ”

The middle-aged man didn't mean to praise Chen Mo, nor did he have the slightest surprise to find a talent, his mask was frosty, as if everyone owed him money. This made Chen Mo a little depressed, and he felt that Bai had behaved, but he became more and more curious about the identity of the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man was very patient, and it took nearly half an hour to check all the students, and after rewarding and punishing them in turn, he began to follow up on the passage that the students had recited. When he spoke, he did not just talk about the original text, but also quoted from the side, quoted from the classics, and showed his profound knowledge. Zhao Haochen, who has become Chen Mo, graduated from the Department of Liberal Arts and History, and after listening attentively at the moment, he actually felt like he had returned to the public lectures of famous professors in the big classroom.

The time of teaching is about the same as the time to check the recitation, the middle-aged man spoke for a while, leaving the homework to memorize and drifting away, as soon as the back disappeared, Chen Mo hurriedly asked Chen Zeng next to him: "Who is Mr. Why are you still wearing a red robe? ”
