But soon, Liu Chenxing couldn't laugh anymore.

Although Liu Wensu seems to be a gentle and handsome young man, he is not so gentle when he teaches the class.

Liu Chenxing felt as if he had returned to the exam-taking class in his previous life.

Every morning, you should read in the courtyard for half an hour, and then have half an hour to eat and rest.

The day is divided into two classes: morning and afternoon.

Because of the small number of lessons, the class time is longer.

The morning class is a lecture, which starts at Tatsumason and ends at noon, that is, from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. in modern times.

Afternoon classes are self-study, which are generally used to practice words, consolidate what they have learned in the morning, or complete the homework assigned in the morning. It never starts from time to time and ends with Shin Zheng from 2 to 5 p.m. in modern times.

In general, except for an extra hour of morning reading, the morning and afternoon are three hours each, which is similar to the number of hours in modern primary schools. However, in modern times, if you take a class for forty minutes, you can take a ten-minute break to relieve it, but now it is three hours in a row, in Liu Chenxing's view, such a class time is comparable to the intensity of modern junior high and high school.

Liu Wensu has seen all the faces of his neighbors since he was a child, and he is good at observing words and feelings, so he can easily see their thoughts on the class schedule from the faces of the two siblings.

In the study of the Liu family, Liu Wensu stood under the open window with his hands in his hands.

The study is located in the main room, sitting north and facing south, and the golden glow of the morning sun shines obliquely into the room.

Liu Wensu looked at the two brothers and sisters sitting on the ground, a short case in front of one person, his thin lips hooked, his smile was clean and gentle, but he said: "Qingshan will enter the Qingyang Academy after the autumn, and I will set the class according to the class time of the school." It's pretty easy, and the school doesn't have an afternoon class for you to complete your daily homework. You can follow this routine now, and when you enter the hall, you will be able to adapt faster. ”

Yes, it makes sense, and it's well thought out.

But Liu Chenxing wanted to refute that she didn't need to go to the entrance hall to study, but in view of the fact that it is not easy to study at the moment, Uncle Liu has time to teach them in the past few months, and she wants to take classes like this systematically in the future, but she doesn't know where to go?

Liu Chenxing also accepted it silently, but he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, education in ancient times was not easier than in modern times. At least in modern times, it is considered a big man after finishing college, but in ancient times, he had to start from the age of four or five, and he studied hard until he passed the exam.

In this way, it is no wonder that the ancients sighed that "the book mountain has a diligent road, and the sea of learning is endless." ”

It is really only "diligent" road, and only "hard work" is always accompanied.

Liu Wensu studied for the imperial examination, and his learning was mainly based on Confucian classics and historical books, and its content was also divided into the so-called "Great Classics", "Middle Classics" and "Small Classics" according to the different levels of difficulty and weight.

"The Book of Rites" and "Zuo Chuan" are the great scriptures.

The Book of Songs, the Book of Rites of the Week, and the Rites of Rites are the classics.

"I Ching", "Book of Changes", "Ram Biography" and "Hub Liang Biography" are minor classics.

In addition, it is necessary to be able to understand both the "Book of Filial Piety" and the "Analects".

The Liu family has a collection of more than 100 volumes, and several generations of the Liu family have taken the imperial examination as their own responsibility, and their collection of books should also be books related to the content of the scientific examination.

Therefore, the Liu family does not have books like "The Female Ring", and Liu Wensu has never read this kind of book, and thinks that the eldest sister Liu has also studied Confucian classics with her father since she was a child, so she simply chose Confucian classics for Liu Chenxing to study.

However, nowadays, the style of poetry is prevalent, and the poetry is not only a daily affair for literati and scholars, but also one of the compulsory subjects for the imperial examination, and it accounts for a large proportion. It can be seen that the whole country has a good style of poetry, and it is also described as "between the mountains and rivers before the moon before the flowers, it is the most enjoyable thing to chant poetry." ”

In order to prevent his nephew and niece from being abandoned in the literati circle, Liu Wensu naturally had to teach them to recite poetry against each other.

As a person who has been educated by modern examinations, Liu Chenxing can pat his chest and say, although the big and small scriptures are jerky, but they can still learn a thing or two by rote memorization, especially in their previous life, after all, she was still a major in ancient Chinese, but she really can't do anything about poetry.

So after taking classes for the brother and sister for half a month, Liu Wensu found that the little niece who was young and intelligent and had a good memory actually had no talent for poetry at all at a time when everyone was advocating poetry, and she couldn't even learn the most basic battles.

Nowadays, there is no women's imperial examination, and if a woman wants to spread the name of a talented woman, it is indispensable to make one or two popular poems, even if she can't write good poems, she will have to participate in the poetry club when she interacts with Tongwen girls in the future, so at least she must be able to make poems, even if she is a limerick. Fortunately, seeing that his niece was still young, Liu Wensu felt that he could reverse it, so he took extra hours every day to focus on cultivating Liu Chenxing's sense of poetry and rhythm.

If so, Liu Chenxing can only make up for his clumsiness with diligence, work hard, and sail in the long sea of poetry.

Sure enough, no matter how ancient or modern it is, the school days are the simplest and happiest.

Although the Confucian classics are jerky and awkward, but fortunately, they have a certain foundation for understanding the words and texts, and Liu Wensu does not have much content in his daily lectures in order to prevent corruption.

Poetry is a weakness, and there is no way to do it, and Liu Chenxing is also looking forward to one day being able to make poems in seven words and five words, so although he struggles to learn, he still entertains himself.

As for calligraphy, she envied people who wrote good calligraphy in her previous life, and in this life, she has cultivated calligraphy as a hobby, and she has also learned it with great interest.

Learning finds the joy of self-regulation, and it is not bitter or boring.

Every day, Grandma Liu changes her way to make all kinds of food, and every ten days Ye Niang will come to see them, and buy rice, flour, oil and other food as gifts, she will eat more burdenlessly, and she will simply live the most abundant life since the crossing.

The only pity is that although Aya still has to go up the mountain to collect delicacies and sell them, and A-Niang also has to accompany her to sell, the price of wild mushrooms and mushrooms has come down, and now you can buy a pound for three or four dollars. Sold three times in a month, once it is not good to sell more, thirty pounds in the sky, and there are three hundred in a month, which is also considered a lot of income.

"Ah Xing, where did I talk about just now?"

Not good!

Desertion was caught!

Uncle Liu is a strict teacher, and it is useless to plead with him in class, and even to be coquettish and cute.

Liu Chenxing sighed in his heart, and did not make useless excuses, and directly stretched out his right hand in resignation.

Liu Wensu raised his eyebrows, did not comment on his niece's current affairs, took out a ring ruler that had been passed down by the Liu family for several generations, and hit Liu Chenxing's palm with a "snap".

"Tell me, what are you thinking?" Liu Wensu withdrew the ring ruler and asked slowly.

Liu Chenxing looked up at Uncle Liu, who was standing in front of the case, his eyes were wet and dewy.

It's not that she wants to cry, it's that it really hurts, and the palms of her hands are still a little hot.

Shrugged his nose, softened his tears, and said: "Paper and ink are running out, I think Aya will go to the county seat every time he comes, so I want to go to the county seat next time to wait for Aye, so that we can buy paper and ink together." ”

Therefore, reading books in ancient times was to burn money, and after only a long time of learning calligraphy, a hundred pieces of paper and one or two inks were about to run out.

Liu Wensu understood that he wanted to go to the county seat, and it was time for him to visit the teacher, so he nodded and said, "Okay, my brother-in-law will come again in six or seven days, and I will take you to the county seat to wait." ”

"Yay!" Before the words fell, the brother and sister had already exhaled in unison.
