Chapter 764: Observing Character

"At the beginning of people, nature is good, sex is similar, Xi is far away......" Zhao Yan read a sentence in the lecture hall, and the students below also followed memorize a sentence, this morning he and Zhao Hao, Ya'er took over the teaching of this class, Zhao Yan is responsible for teaching Chinese, originally these students are learning the Analects, but Zhao Yan himself has not even memorized the Analects, naturally it is impossible to teach the students the Analects, but this is not difficult for him, so he began to teach the children the three-character classic, this enlightenment book has not yet appeared, just borrowed by Zhao Yan.

Zhao Yan taught the children to recite the Three Character Sutra, while observing the reactions of the five princes such as Zhao Tong below, just now Zhao Yan brought them into the classroom, and then asked them to introduce themselves to the students below, of course, they were all ordered by Zhao Yan to change their names, and Zhao Yan also deliberately separated their seats to make it easier to observe their reactions.

At the beginning, Zhao Tong's five children behaved well, following him to memorize the three-character scripture one by one, but soon these children slowly revealed their original form, among which Zhao Yu, who didn't like to read, was the first to sit down, and began to secretly talk to the students next to him, although he had just come, but this kid's communication skills were really good, and he soon became familiar with the classmates around him, and secretly chatted very lively.

Immediately after that, Zhao Shen, who likes to ride horses and shoot arrows, couldn't sit down, and began to twist around on the seat, as if there were nails on the chair, and the endorsement was also a little absent-minded, and his eyes glanced out of the window from time to time, and a bird landed on the tree outside the window, which could make him look at it for a long time, as if he wished that he was the little bird, so that he didn't have to be trapped here.

In addition to Zhao Wei and Zhao Shen, Zhao Jun, who was thin and weak, also began to wander, and although he seemed to be honest when he sat there, his expression was dull. The mouth of the endorsement also slowly stopped, judging from Zhao Yan's years of experience in teaching, Zhao Jun's brain didn't know where to fly for a long time.

In contrast, Zhao Tong and Zhao Maid's performance is not bad, especially Zhao Tong, a prince who likes to read, is very interested in Professor Zhao Yan's three-character scripture. And he is older, even if Zhao Yan has not yet started to speak, but he can also experience some of the meanings in the sentences of the Three Character Sutra, whenever this happens, he will show a knowing smile on his face, it seems that he said that he likes to read is not a lie.

taught the students to memorize a three-character scripture, and then Zhao Yan explained the meaning to them sentence by sentence, Zhao Tong and Zhao Maid listened very carefully, and even took notes attentively. As for Zhao Wei, Zhao Shen, and Zhao Jun, when they found out that Zhao Yan didn't care about them, this also made them even more presumptuous, especially when Zhao Wei's voice was almost louder than Zhao Yan's.

"Xing Wei, stand up and explain the meaning of this three-character scripture!" Seeing that Zhao Wei was really a little unreasonable, Zhao Yan said in a deep voice, Xing Wei is actually Zhao Wei's pseudonym, and his mother is Xing Guifei in the palace. That's why I used my mother's last name.

"Three...... Uh~, that ...... Mr. I...... I won't. Zhao was suddenly called up by Zhao Yan to answer the question, and he was so frightened that he opened his mouth and wanted to call the third uncle, but fortunately he reacted quickly and immediately changed his words, but in the end he was cheeky and said, he didn't listen to what Zhao Yan was saying just now. Naturally, it is impossible to answer this question.

"Hmph, I won't listen carefully, I will punish you to copy this three-character scripture twenty times after class, and you must hand it in tomorrow!" Zhao Yan glared and said angrily, the teacher must be merciful when he should be merciful. However, we must not be soft-hearted when it is time to be strict, otherwise we will not be able to establish majesty among the students.

"Yes~" Hearing that he was punished for copying twenty times, Zhao Zhi immediately replied with a sad face and a weak face, this paragraph of the three-character scripture has dozens of words, and copying it twenty times is hundreds of words, with his writing speed, I don't know when I want to write.

Seeing that Zhao Yan punished Zhao Wei, Zhao Shen and Zhao Jun, who were running away, also woke up suddenly, and immediately sat up straight and didn't dare to move anymore, but this situation didn't last long, and soon the two of them returned to their original state again, and they all sat there and began to wander, but as long as they didn't affect others, Zhao Yan wouldn't care about them, after all, he didn't come here mainly to teach, but to observe the character of these nephews and see if they were suitable to be the prince of the Great Song Dynasty.

With a crisp bell for the end of class, Zhao Yan also announced the end of class, and the whole classroom suddenly became jubilant, among which Zhao Shen was the first to rush out of the classroom, chasing the birds in the bamboo forest like joy; Zhao Wei chatted hotly with a group of classmates around him, while Zhao Jun silently took out a pair of Go from his schoolbag and began to play chess with himself; Zhao Tong took the notes he had just taken and continued to review; As for the youngest Zhao Maid, he said hello to the surrounding classmates, and then chatted with them, and went to the toilet with them by the way.

Zhao Yan didn't go far, he also saw Zhao Yan's actions, and he also had a general understanding of their character, the second period was a math class, and Ya'er gave a lecture to these students, speaking of which, although the social atmosphere in the Northern Song Dynasty was not as strict as in the Ming and Qing dynasties, there was still a big defense for men and women, so the entire Tokyo elementary school both teachers and students were men, which was also the reason why Ouyang Wanling and Yan Yuru established a girls' school, and it was precisely because of this that for the appearance of Ya'er, a female teacher, The students also reacted greatly, many students only cared about watching Ya'er but forgot to listen to the lecture, as a result, these little guys soon knew how powerful Ya'er was, and anyone who couldn't answer the question in her class was ten precepts per person, and as a result, after a class, many students' hands were swollen.

After the morning class, students line up to eat in the cafeteria, which was not provided in elementary schools before, but as Tokyo elementary schools become more and more famous, many people are willing to send their children here, many of these children come from afar, and it is not convenient to go home at noon, so the school has set up a cafeteria to provide a free lunch.

Zhao Yan didn't go to the cafeteria, because there were too many people who knew him in the elementary school, so Xue Li took these students, and at this time, Zhao Yan and others had also fully integrated into this class, especially Zhao Wei and Zhao Maid, who had established their own small circle, which showed that the communication skills of the two brothers were indeed good.

The afternoon is a natural subject, today's class is more special, the afternoon is the time to learn biology, and it is not a boring lecture indoors, but the teacher leads the students to the outside to observe insects, but students can not just care, but write down the names of the insects they observe, as well as the activities of these insects, etc., which can be said to be a very interesting course arrangement.

This method of moving the lecture outside the classroom was originally developed by Zhao Yan to stimulate students' interest in learning, and because the effect was good and very popular with the students, it has been retained.

Zhao Tong and they used to receive strict court education in the palace, and in their impression, class was trapped in the classroom by rote memorization by an old gentleman with a straight face, but when they just came to the primary school today, they found that there was such a way of class, Zhao Yan took them to a small garden in the primary school, and let them move freely with their notebooks, as long as they handed in the notes before school.

It is precisely because of this that Zhao Yan and they are all very interested in the biology class in the afternoon, when Zhao Yan first announced the disbandment, they didn't dare to stay too far away from Zhao Yan, but soon ran to the students they knew well, and pulled them away after a few words.

However, other people were dragged away, but Zhao Jun was ignored, this is mainly because this child is too introverted, he has been in the class for a day, and he has not taken the initiative to talk to others, and he doesn't seem to be very willing to deal with others, he plays chess with himself when he has nothing to do, and he is addicted to his own world and does not communicate with others, which makes Zhao Yan frown again, and Zhao Jun has been excluded in his heart.

Zhao Yan will definitely not be able to succeed to the throne because his mother is a member of the party, and now Zhao Jun has also been eliminated because of his personality, so the candidate for the crown prince can only be selected between Zhao Wei, Zhao Shen and Zhao Maid, Zhao Yan originally excluded Zhao Wei, who does not like to study, but after entering the school, he found that Zhao Wei is very good at communicating, and he also has an infectious energy, which is one of the necessary qualities of a leader, so Zhao Yan temporarily included him among the candidates.

"Third brother, do you have a general idea of the candidate for the crown prince now?" At this time, Zhao Yan came over and asked, there was no Zhao Gang class today, but the children were running around in the garden, Zhao Yan was worried that one person would not be able to take care of him, so he also called him, and Ya'er also liked children, and now he took a group of children to observe a nest of ants eating insects on the side of the rockery.

"There are already some eyebrows, Zhao Tong's five children have their own characteristics, some people are not suitable to be the prince of the Great Song Dynasty, I have ruled out two, and I will carefully observe and consider the rest." Zhao Yan didn't hide it from Zhao Yan, and directly told him what he thought.

"Actually, I think Zhao Tong is good, sensible and studious, and he takes good care of Zhao and their younger brothers, which is very similar to the eldest brother, but unfortunately his mother ...... Alas~" When he said this, Zhao Yan couldn't help but sigh, he was very optimistic about Zhao Tong, but after the Hu rebellion at the end of the Tang Dynasty, the Great Song Dynasty has always regarded itself as the orthodoxy of the Han people, so it is naturally impossible to let a prince with the blood of the party members ascend the throne.

Hearing Zhao Yan's words, Zhao Yan also felt a little pity for Zhao Yan, but before he could say anything, he suddenly heard a student shouting in the woods behind him: "Help~Help~" (to be continued......)
