Chapter 21: Early Wisdom
This soup dumpling is to test the appearance and demeanor of the two of them, as an official lady, you must pay attention to manners, not too rude, go out to participate in the banquet, you eat like a starving ghost, it will make people slander your family education is not good, in this era, reputation is more precious than life.
The old lady was very satisfied, the breakfast was happily eaten in silence, Zilan didn't speak, and the noise depended on the occasion.
After breakfast, Zilan and Shuhui put on their bookbags and went to the school in the house to study, mainly to recognize words, the master will assign them homework, and will also let them copy the calligraphy, it doesn't matter how good or bad the writing is, to learn how to hold a pen, that is, the enlightenment stage, come to the school to learn to feel the atmosphere, learn to listen.
The two little beans are obviously much shorter than others, and the tables and chairs are all special, and the two of them sit down at the table.
The brothers also took out their books and began to review the content of yesterday's study, muttering silently in their mouths, after a while, the master will come to the court to take the school examination, and if he can't answer, he will play a handboard.
Don't look at the Yang family as a family of military generals, but the family rules are very strict, especially for boys, who are very strict in teaching, and the hearts of the beaters are light.
Not long after Ziyan came, he was slapped in the palm because he didn't answer the question.
When the master came, he swept the audience, saw that everyone was doing the right thing, and nodded with satisfaction.
The master took the examination of the three boys with different questions, and they were all very tricky, and he was especially strict with Ziyan, because he was going to take the imperial examination, unlike the children of the Yang family, he could not pass the examination if he was sparsely educated.
Zilan knows that the imperial examination in this era is really a single-plank bridge crossed by thousands of troops, and the difficulty is many times more difficult than the college entrance examination.
You can go home after the college entrance examination, but the imperial examination is not good, it is several days of hard work to go in, eat and sleep in the cubicle, bring your own dry food, and when you come out, everyone stinks.
That's why many people will die in the imperial examination, because it's too hard, and they can't eat well, and the weaker ones can't bear it at all.
There are soldiers guarding and inspecting the examination room for the imperial examination here, and they have to take off their clothes to check, which is very strict, and they dare to bring private goods to the prison on the spot.
Seeing that the three of them had answered well, the master nodded with satisfaction.
Seeing Zilan playing with the silk silk on the clothes belt, she frowned and said, "Miss Cousin, you can memorize a thousand-character text." ”
"Ah, the heaven and the earth are yellow, the universe is desolate, the heaven and the earth are bright, and the Chensu column is ......"
Zilan looked at the master, he didn't say which paragraph to memorize, nor did he say to stop, so he had to keep memorizing, thanks to me taking the time to study, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to remember.
I just memorized the whole text.,Take it out at night and study it for a long time.,Ahem.,I haven't learned this thing for a long time.,I can't really memorize it.。
It wasn't until she had memorized it all that the master turned his head to look at her, "Sure enough, I memorized it all, do you understand the meaning?" ”
Zilan shook her head decisively, and memorized an article, but she really didn't read it carefully.
"Well, it's good, sit down, concentrate in class, don't slack off, and I'll explain it to you later."
The master pressed her hand and made her sit down.
Zilan exhaled and smiled smugly, Ziyan glared at her, and the two cousins smiled at her.
Lecture to the three cousins first, Zilan listened in a daze, and she didn't study the ancient texts on purpose, and she didn't understand them all.
She also benefited from the relationship between perfume in her previous life, and often needed to look for ancient books to check, and the people who can play with high-end spices are either rich or expensive, these people's ink is amazing, they can't get dry goods, and people don't look at you squarely.
After going back and forth, Zilan slowly learned, not as good as a scholar, but he was still a fur learner.
The master wrote a few large characters for her sisters and asked them to copy the notebook first, and when the three brothers were finished, they would come and give them a lecture.
Zilan sat there copying the calligraphy, this is really Jinshi, this character is really strong and beautiful.
I admired it in my heart, and I copied it slowly, learning it stroke by stroke, but I learned it very seriously.
At noon, they will be allowed to rest for a while, eat something, drink some tea, put water and rest for a while, and then they will continue to study until lunchtime, and then they will study for an hour in the afternoon and then go to do martial arts classes.
The boys spend almost all their time studying, and they can only play for a while after dinner, but Lao Tzu is back, and the three brothers take the school every day, and they don't pull it every day, which means that they have almost no time to play.
Zilan and Shuhui didn't have to go to class in the afternoon, but the master left homework and asked him to copy ten big characters, recite the thousand-character text, and then explain its interpretation, and take the school exam tomorrow.
Shuhui hadn't learned yet, so she was so anxious that she cried, and the little girl wiped her tears vigorously.
"Look at what you're crying about, you didn't learn to let my brother teach you."
"My brother still has to study, and he also has homework that can't be disturbed, sister, you learn quickly, can you teach me? Otherwise, the Master will punish me, and I don't want to be punished, because I will be ashamed. Woooooooo ”
Shuhui is a little little who loves face, she doesn't remember everything the master said, and this time she is still a little blindsided.
"Okay, I'll teach you, I'm pretty much memorized."
Zilan took out the book, pointed to the first sentence and said, "The sky is blue-black, the earth is yellow, and the universe was formed in a state of chaos and obscurantism. The sun is right and oblique, the moon is round and absent, and the stars are full of boundless space. ”
With Zilan's explanation, the thousand-character text was unconsciously finished by her, and she forgot for a moment that the master didn't have so many things at all, so he just explained the content of the first three sentences.
Yang Yu couldn't help but nod after hearing this, "The explanation is so good, Ziyan, my cousin is really smart." ”
Ziyan frowned slightly, and pretended to be disgusted, "Listen to her show, my father told her at home, but she didn't memorize it when she was playful before, and my father was too busy to take care of her." ”
Actually, no, Song Zhengtian didn't talk about this, but Ziyan felt that he shouldn't let people know that his sister was too smart, and his father said that he wanted to protect his sister and not talk about his sister everywhere, which was inappropriate.
"Oh, no wonder, but I still think my sister is smart."
"Big cousin, don't talk about it to outsiders, my father will punish our brother and sister if he knows it, if he is too flamboyant and show off, my sister will be disciplined."
Ziyan looked down at Yang Yu pleading in embarrassment.
Yang Yu nodded in understanding immediately, his family also adheres to the low-key and unassuming family motto, "I know, my sister's name is so important, how can I talk nonsense outside, don't worry, my father has explained it more than once, I know." ”
"Thank you, big cousin."
After listening to Zilan, Shuhui understood, telling it like a story, Shuhui was very easy to understand, and naturally understood.
Shuhui understood and immediately smiled happily, "Thank you, sister, let's go play after I finish writing these words, okay?" ”
"Okay, don't worry, I'm going to write a few words, I look at the master's good handwriting and envy, if I write well, when my father comes back, there will definitely be a reward to take."
"yes, okay."
