Chapter 30: Entering the School

(I'm late today, sorry...... )

The ice and snow melt and the spring water flows, and the swallows fly over the February willows;

The earth thawed and regained its vitality, and the farmers were busy running between the ridges and began to work hard for the year's harvest.

At the east gate of the tall Jiangzhou City, there is an endless stream of people coming in and out, carrying burdens, pushing carts, and those riding on horses, sweeping away at a glance, with different identities, rich and poor.

Chen Jianchen and Wang Fu came by car, they are talented and famous, and under normal circumstances, they do not need to be inspected when entering and exiting the city gate, and they can enter and exit directly.

-- Wang Fuzi peach blossom incident, a serious illness, after nearly half a month of recuperation, gradually recovered, but the following thing is a little shrunken and sluggish, so that he wants to cry without tears, and he dare not make a sound, so he can only hide in the study and pretend to read the sage book. Whenever he saw the resentful eyes of his wife and concubine, he was like a mouse meeting a cat, and he was terrified.

That almost crazy night really left too deep a shadow in Wang Fu's heart, every time he thought about it, the cold hairs all over his body couldn't help but stand up, and his three legs would naturally tremble.

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Wang Fu came to Chen's house with a lot of gifts in large bags and small bags to pay New Year's greetings, and pulled Chen Jianchen to talk very embarrassed in the study for nearly an hour, which made Chen Jianchen quite impatient.

finally waited for Wang Fu to finish his story, but unexpectedly, the topic changed and he began to promote his sister Miss Wang Er again. Chen Jianchen said aloud without hesitation: "Brother Futai, I am only concentrating on my studies at present, and I have no distractions; ”

Seeing his resolute attitude, Wang Fu couldn't - Chen Jianchen's recent performance gave him an unfathomable feeling, as if he had changed his person, and it was one thing to understand the face of the peach blossom, and it was another to get rid of the evil wolf with a pen.

Regarding his question, Chen Jianchen had already thought of a countermeasure, saying that it was the former Qingyun Dao Master who taught a trick, which just came in handy.

So Wang Fu shouted again to ask about the whereabouts of Daoist Qingyun, so that he could go and thank him in person.

――Looking at his appearance, I also want to learn a trick and a half.

Chen Jianchen said: "The Taoist chief is a master under the Laoshan Gate, traveling all over the world, his whereabouts are uncertain, where can I find it?"

Wang Fu regretted it, but he remembered the word "Laoshan" in his heart, thinking that if he had the opportunity one day, he would definitely go up to learn the arts, and maybe he could also meet the fairy fate, and he could soar in the day and become a fairy......

Thinking like this, Wang Fu smiled, almost drooling.

After the Chinese New Year, the opening date of the college was approaching, and Wang Fu proposed to enter Jiangzhou with Chen Jianchen. There was a hitchhiker, Chen Jianchen did not resist, so he packed his luggage, said goodbye to his mother and Bao, and started the road to study.

When saying goodbye, Mo Sanniang was reluctant to give up, and Ah Bao had red eyes, and when Chen Jianchen got into the carriage, she chased after her for a while before stopping, and waved goodbye desperately, tears fell like a string of pearls.

Chen Jianchen looked at it, and he was also sad.

People are not plants and trees, how can they be ruthless? There are always some worries, and the rhizomes are inadvertently planted deeply......

He secretly vowed in his heart that he would build a foundation in Jiangzhou City as soon as possible, and then take his mother and Ah Bao into the city to settle down. Anyway, his family has no land in Jingyang Village.

Entering Jiangzhou City, Chen Jianchen's eyes flashed, and he looked around to watch - he had also been to Jiangzhou once or twice, but he had never had a clear understanding of this city, one of the eighteen states of the Heavenly Dynasty. But now that I'm studying in the city, I can't do it if I don't understand.

The Tiantong Dynasty had eighteen prefectures, and Jiangzhou was one of them, and there were nine counties under its jurisdiction, with a total of 136 townships -- because Zhengming Township, to which Jingyang Village belonged, was near Jiangzhou Chengfu, it did not belong to any county, but directly belonged to Jiangzhou Chengguan.

The city wall of Jiangzhou City is handsome, covers a vast area, and the streets inside are vertical and horizontal, and it is very prosperous. However, the two major official schools in Jiangzhou, Minghua Academy and Qingxue Academy, are only at the downstream level in the official schools of the Tiantong Dynasty, and their reputation is not obvious. Compared with a few prominent officials in the south, it is not as good as a few scholars, not to mention the Guozijian in the capital.

The biggest difference between Ming Wah College and Qingxue College is that it is male students who study in Ming Wah Academy, while women who study at Qingxue College.

-- In the Tiantong Dynasty, women were also allowed to study and study, but they could not participate in the imperial examination and become officials.

For this reason, the content of women's reading is mostly to learn calligraphy, etiquette and morality, poetry and songs, etc., which basically does not involve the eight-strand literary arts.

Although it is said that girls can also go to school, it is impossible for poor families to send their daughters to private schools, and most of them need to drive pigs and cattle and help with household chores when they are six or seven years old.

If you don't talk about women, you can talk about men, and if you don't have a good family, you can't afford to go to school. It can be seen from this that over the years, Mo Sanniang has suffered and tired for Chen Jianchen to go to school.

Wealthy families can directly let their children study in the official schools in the county seats, while ordinary people can only study in private schools in the countryside, and the environment of the two is completely different, and the level of education is also very different.

Therefore, the probability of being admitted to the official school is far greater than that of a private school in the countryside.

Minghua Academy is the largest official school in the whole Jiangzhou, it is divided into the upper courtyard and the lower courtyard, the lower courtyard is all children; only those who have achieved fame in the examination can enter the upper courtyard.

Chen Jianchen was the first in the three examinations in the children's examination, and in one fell swoop, he was admitted as a student by the upper house of Minghua Academy, and he was free to eat, drink and stay in the college, and there was ten pocket money every month. In other words, he was a public scholarship student. And if you perform well during your studies, you will also receive a scholarship.

In this respect, going to school is not a bad thing.

The bad thing is that even if you are a student or a publicly-funded student, you still have to abide by the rules and precepts of the college. It is said that there are 386 rules of Minghua Academy, which are neatly engraved on a huge stone tablet located at the gate...... Looking down, it is all "must", "must", "must......

This stone tablet, called the "Sacred Law Tablet", has an inviolable majesty.

-- In any government school, there is such a monument at the door. In this way, students can always see when they enter and exit, be alert to their words and deeds, follow the rules, do things according to the sage's "Book of Rites", and do not go beyond the thunder pool.

Chen Jianchen flipped through the "Book of Rites" and knew that it stipulated tens of thousands of etiquette fancy, and strictly stipulated what kind of etiquette people had to do, and what kind of etiquette they had to do when, so detailed that even the convenient steps of going to the toilet were exquisite.

It's a headache to look at.

Chen Jianchen is a little dazzled now.

His eyes had seen the straight, solemn, and tall monument of the Holy Law......
