"I see. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info thank you Mr. Chi for your advice. Su Qi nodded thoughtfully, knowing a little more about the twists and turns in the school palace.
Chi Buping waved his hand and said, "Where is it, Su Gongzi is too polite." ”
At this time, Su Qi understood why Chi Buping, as a steward, was so humble, and even a little contemptuous. The main reason is that the family of Yan Kingdom is too powerful, even if it is a medium-sized family, it is also an existence that these stewards in the school palace cannot provoke. It is precisely because of this that Chi Buping is so respectful to Su Qi, for fear that there will be any snubbing that will dislike Su Qi.
Chi Buping walked to the front of the square with Su Qi and asked respectfully: "Master Su, should we go to the main hall of teaching first, or take a walk in the school palace first and get acquainted with it?"
"How long does it take for the afternoon homework to start?" asked Su Qi.
Chi Buping looked at the sundial in the center of the square and said, "There are about a quarter of an hour left." However, Su Gongzi's identity is special, even if he is late, it doesn't matter. ”
"The rules of the Academy Palace are so relaxed?" Su Qiqi said.
"Ahem, in fact, there are still a lot of rules in the school palace. It's just that Su Gongzi's status is special, of course, he can do special things. Chi Buping said.
"Then let's go to the main hall first. In the future, I can let other scholars take me on a tour of the Academy, and Mr. Chi will not be tired because of his busy business. Su Qi said.
"Childe is polite. It's okay to be like this, and if Childe gets closer to the children of other families, I won't get in the way here. Chi Buping pointed to a large hall in front of the square, "The Zhili Hall in the center is the location of today's lecture, and the largest hall is." By the way, Childe should not be clear about the school system here, so I will introduce Childe to him. ”
The main hall of teaching is divided into four halls, namely the Hall of Knowledge, the Hall of Cultivation, the Hall of Marching, and the Hall of Governance, which teach Zhou rites, calligraphy and seals, the art of war and the strategy of governing the country respectively. Classes are held once every three days, and they rotate in the order of ceremony, book, military, and country. Each time from the beginning of the hour to the hour of the deuteron, a total of two hours. ”
"Of course, if Su Gongzi is busy with chores on weekdays, he can not come, and he doesn't have to ask for leave like other children. That's basically it, is there anything Su Gongzi doesn't understand?"
Su Qi shook his head: "No, if you have other questions, I'll ask other scholars." ”
"In that case, I will send my son to the Zhili Palace. ”
"Not necessarily. Su Qi shook his head, "The Zhili Hall is close in front of me, and I will go over it myself." Mr. Chi is busy with official business, so he doesn't have to send me. ”
Chi Buping hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Since Su Gongzi insists, I won't send it." Say goodbye first. ”
After Chi Buping left, Su Qi stepped forward and walked towards the Zhili Hall in the main hall of teaching. Among the four main halls, the Zhili Hall is the most magnificent, and even after arranging many bookcases that are enough to sit more than 200 people, there is still a huge space.
Directly in front of the main hall is a three-step high platform, covered with thick red felt, which looks gorgeous and solemn, and is thought to be a seat for teaching and lecturing. Under the high platform are rows of bookcases, which are slightly shorter than ordinary bookcases and can only be used by one person. Each bookcase is equipped with a couch, and there are bamboo slips, pen and ink and other things on the case.
Although there was still a quarter of an hour before the lecture began, the hall was already full of children from various families. Some of them were reading, some were closing their eyes and meditating, but no one was talking to each other, and the temple was very quiet. Su Qi tried his best to keep his footsteps as light as possible, stepped over the tall threshold of the main hall, and walked into the hall.
The seats in the hall are almost full, and there are still empty seats in the corners on the left and right. Su Qi walked lightly to a back seat and sat down on his knees.
There were some fresh faces all around, and Su Qi couldn't help but be a little curious, looking around, and taking a look at these young talents of the Great Yan Kingdom. Just look at it, but no one knows it, Zou Junhao and Fan Hongji and others are not among them. It's normal to think about it, these people must have already enrolled in school, and it is impossible to listen to the lecture with Su Qi.
"Are you new here? Mr. Chen, the teacher of Zhou Lijiao, dislikes students to turn their heads and look around, if you are seen like this, you will inevitably be reprimanded. Someone whispered.
Su Qi turned his head to see that it was a young gentleman sitting on his right side of the bookcase. This gentleman was about the same age as himself, about sixteen or seventeen years old, with sparse eyebrows and a soft smile on his face. His appearance is not outstanding, and the long shirt on his body is not particularly precious, but he has a graceful and luxurious bearing, which is extraordinary.
Compared with this scholar, Zou Junhao, Fan Hongji and others seem to have become rude and stupid nouveau riche.
"Thanks for the reminder, I don't know what this son is called?" asked Su Qi in a low voice.
"My surname is Zhou, Zhou Chengguo. The young man smiled, "What about you?"
"Su Qi. ”
Su Qi...... It's a familiar name. Zhou Chengguo thought for a while, suddenly thought of something, and said with some surprise, "Could it be that you happen to have the same name as the grandson of Mr. Wen Xinjun Su, the 'No. 1 Gentleman of Yan Kingdom'?"
Su Qi said helplessly: "It's not the same name, I'm the 'No. 1 gentleman of Yan Kingdom' you said." ”
Zhou Chengguo opened his mouth wide, and only reacted after a while.
"Sorry, I was a little surprised, so it was rude. It's just that this name is too loud, and I accidentally said it. Zhou Chengguo smiled apologetically, it was obviously inappropriate to call the other party a "gentleman" in person.
"It's okay, I don't really care about the name. Su Qi said indifferently.
"Fortunately, fortunately. However, I suggest that we wait until after class to make friends slowly, if we happen to be caught by Mr. Chen while we are talking, it will be very bad. Zhou Chengguo said in a low voice.
"Good. Su nodded his head, and the two of them turned their heads away and stopped talking. Su Qi thought for a moment, and didn't think of any family in Yan Country with the surname Zhou, but there are more than 100 families in Yan Kingdom, and it is very normal to have a family that he doesn't know.
Su Qi opened the book on the table and found that it was a volume from "Zhou Li". Su Qi has read "Zhou Li", but he really doesn't agree with the concept of respect and inferiority and many etiquettes, so he basically hasn't read it.
The Zhou rite scrolls are vast, as large as the world's Kyushu, astronomical calendars, as small as ditches and roads, grass, trees, insects and fish, and even the state system, politics, law, culture and education, rituals, music, military punishment, taxation, clothing, clothing, temples, carriages and horses, agriculture, commerce, medicine, crafts, and various rules and regulations, all inclusive. Yan Guo attaches great importance to Zhou rites, and even has a prominent official position like Taizhu who specializes in studying Zhou rites. It's just that these scholars have limited time to study, so naturally it is impossible to study so deeply, and the school palace is only excerpted from some important chapters to teach.
Su Qi was looking boredly, when he suddenly felt someone walking in from outside the main hall. This person's steps are a little vague, and his pace is extremely slow, obviously because of his advanced age and inconvenience in his legs and feet. Su Qi knew that Mr. Jiaoxi was coming, and he really wanted to turn his head to see Mr. Jiaoxi's appearance. But considering that Zhou Chengguo had specially reminded him that Mr. Xi didn't like students looking around, Su Qi still suppressed this idea.
