027 [Blood and Backbone]
Fei Ruhe finally went back to the classroom, because it was almost time for class to end.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, it was difficult for the people at the bottom to eat two meals a day.
But in the affluent areas, they basically eat three meals. Even if the food is not enough, boiled stones in white water, smoke must be emitted, so as not to be looked down upon by the villagers and neighbors.
The curriculum of Hanzhu Private School is roughly as follows-
Morning reading: The teacher leads the reading, recites collectively, and draws people to read.
Breakfast time.
Practice: Practice 100 characters.
Jingyi: Explain the four books and five classics.
Lunchtime.
Memorization: Review the textbook and memorize the chapters and sentences.
Dictionaries: Poetry, couplets, ancient texts, and trial stickers.
Dinner time.
Evening self-study: Review what you have learned today, and occasionally explain the exercises.
……
"Sir!"
"Come in."
Fei Ruhe's nosebleed had stopped, and with the teacher's permission, he swaggered into the classroom.
Fei Chunze's nose was blue and his face was swollen, and he followed closely with his sleeves covering his face, for fear that someone would see his embarrassed appearance.
On the contrary, Zhao Han was not hurt at all, paced into the classroom, and sat down next to Fei Chun.
The teacher's name is Pang Chunlai, and Lao Xiu is only one, who seems to be short-sighted, and is lecturing at this time.
He didn't care what the students were doing, put the textbook two inches in front of him, sat on the podium and shook his head: "Confucius said: A gentleman has three precepts. When it is little, the blood is undecided, and the precept is in color. and strong, the blood is strong, and the ring is fighting. and his old age, the flesh is declining, and the abstinence is in it. ”
"What is flesh? The place of form serves the living, and the blood is yin and the qi is yang. That is to say, if a person wants to survive, he must have blood and energy, and he must harmonize yin and yang......"
Suddenly, a student raised his hand: "Sir, what is abstinence?" ”
"Hahahaha!" The children laughed.
Fei Ruhe also coaxed: "I know, quitting sex is quitting women!" ”
"Hahahaha!"
The students laughed louder and the air of joy filled the classroom.
Zhao Han asked Fei Chun in a low voice: "Who is the troublemaker?" ”
"Fei Yuanjian, from Henglin," Fei Chun said in a low voice, "In terms of seniority, he is the uncle of our little master, and he is a brother with our old lady." ”
Okay, this generation is high enough, Fei Yinghuan's uncle.
was interrupted from the lecture, Pang Chunlai was not angry, stroked his beard and said: "You and the others are all children and young people, and their blood is undecided, so they must not be contaminated with women." Quit! ”
Fei Yuanjian is estimated to be twelve or thirteen years old, and he is also a senior repeater, so he continued to make trouble: "If a young man is not close to women, won't he be able to have children?" There are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is great, sir, you must have said it wrong! ”
"Yes, that's wrong!" Fei Ruhe followed suit.
There are more than 20 students in this class, and Fei Yuanjian and Fei Ruhe, the two "grandsons", should belong to the class tyrant type.
They made trouble for the teacher, and their respective little brothers followed suit.
For a moment, the classroom was as noisy as a vegetable market.
"Bang bang bang!"
Pang Chunlai finally couldn't help it, knocked on the table with a ring ruler, blew his beard and glared: "Quiet, quiet!" To abstain from sex here, you should not indulge in female sex. It is human nature to eat sexually, eat a full stomach, marry a wife and have children, how can you really quit it? However, gluttony, lust and pleasure are human desires. Quitting sex here is not quitting human nature, but quitting human desire! ”
Fei Yuanjian continued to sing the opposite: "Mr. talked nonsense, Zhu Ziji didn't say so in the notes. ”
"That's it, what Zhu Zi didn't say, it's Mr. who is talking nonsense!" Fei Ruhe followed and raised the bar.
Singing and harmonizing, so lively.
Zhao Han carefully observed the situation and found that the whole class was coaxing, only one student in the front row was always reading silently. Moreover, this student is thinly dressed, and at first glance he knows that he comes from a poor family.
"Bang bang!"
Pang Chunlai was frantically beating the ring ruler, but the classroom was already noisy. He really had no choice but to shout: "Self-study, don't walk around, and wait for the end of class!" ”
"Wow...... Oh oh oh! ”
The students cheered collectively as if celebrating their victory, and then fought with each other.
Pang Chunlai didn't bother to care about these bastards anymore, put on a kind expression, and said to the poor student in the front row: "Xu Ying, you come forward." ”
The student who called Xu Ying immediately went over and said respectfully: "What is the teachings of Mr.?" ”
Pang Chunlai said with concern: "What you said today, do you understand? ”
"Understood." Xu Ying nodded and said.
Pang Chunlai reminded: "What Confucius said about abstaining from sex and fighting is not an ordinary abstinence from sex and fighting, but to restrain the desire in your heart. What is moved by the flesh is what desire refers. The saint is the same as the man, the flesh; The saint is different from the man, and the ambition is high. You should think of the saints, cultivate your will and temper your flesh, so that you can make great achievements. ”
Xu Ying thought carefully and asked, "Mr. Ke once said that a husband must not be bloodless. ”
Pang Chunlai explained: "The flesh here is the desire of people, and the restraint of flesh is the restraint of desire. And the great husband shall not be without flesh, but blood, and backbone. Fighting with others without vain is a battle of will, not blood. Pang Chunlai pointed to the court, "Such a stubborn person is too bloody and has no blood. Don't fight with them, don't let down your talents. But there must be no blood loss, and no arrogance. ”
Xu Ying hurriedly said, "Thank you, Mr. for your teaching." ”
There was a lot of noise in the classroom, and the teacher didn't care about it, only opened a small stove for the poor scholar.
"Dangdang, dang!"
After a while, the bell rang.
Students cheered collectively and rushed out of the classroom.
Students who are closer to home go straight home to eat, and boarding students go to the cafeteria.
There are also day students who are not far away, take out their own food boxes, and eat in the classroom.
Fei Ruhe was as if he had been released from prison, and couldn't wait to run out, and suddenly turned around and pointed at Zhao Han: "That...... That who ......"
"Zhao Han." Zhao Han said with a smile.
"Yes, Zhao Han, let's go to dinner together." Fei Ruhe said.
At the same time as they left the classroom, Xu Ying, a poor student, also hurriedly ran around with a small bag.
Unfortunately, he didn't run fast enough, and as soon as he got up, he was blocked, and four or five people surrounded him to prevent the teacher who was packing up his things from seeing.
The leader is Fei Yuanjian.
Xu Ying didn't want to fight with it, so she lowered her head and turned around to leave, but was immediately pushed back.
Fei Ruhe suddenly grabbed Zhao Han and said with a smile: "Don't be busy eating, watch a good show first." ”
Pang Chunlai held a textbook and a ruler under his arm, and a cane in his hand, and finally left the classroom tremblingly.
Seeing that the teacher was gone, Fei Yuanjian said in a mocking tone: "Xu Dacaizi, what did you eat today?" ”
Xu Ying protected the small bag for lunch, bowed her head and replied, "Wheat cake." ”
"You haven't paid the rent you owe, and you can afford to eat wheat cakes?" Fei Yuanjian smiled even more vigorously, and at the same time reached out and grabbed it, "Open it quickly and let me see." ”
Xu Ying shook her head again and again, squatted down with her burden, and waited to be beaten by the group.
Facing Xu Ying, who was lying down and waiting to be beaten, Fei Yuanjian suddenly lost interest, turned around and left, and said, "It's really boring!" ”
The other students added their fists and kicks, and after a few strokes of one person, they all left one after another.
After being beaten, Xu Ying breathed a sigh of relief and ran out quickly with something in her arms.
Zhao Han witnessed the whole process, and didn't help, but asked: "Young master, don't you see injustice on the road, come and draw a knife to help?" ”
"Pull out a fart," Fei Ruhe said angrily, "That idiot is the same age as my grandfather, can I still beat the elders?" Then he said, "Well, Young Master Ben really doesn't like him." When he makes a big fuss one day, such as beating people half to death, it will be forgivable for me to strike again. ”
Fei Chun immediately patted his ass: "The young master is brave and resourceful, and he is chivalrous, and he will definitely be a hero in the future." ”
"Hahaha," Fei Ruhe was comfortable, "Well said, Young Master Ben will definitely be a hero in the future!" ”
Zhao Han was speechless for an instant, a descendant of a wealthy family, he didn't want to take the imperial examination, at least he had to have the ambition to be a general. What the hell is fantasy about being a chivalrous man?
I've watched too much of "Water Margin"!
The three of them went to the cafeteria together, and after walking dozens of steps, Xu Ying could be vaguely seen squatting under the railing of the gazebo.
Zhao Han said, "Young Master, I'll go over and take a look." ”
"What's there to see? Definitely crying. Every time that guy was bullied, he didn't know how to fight back, he only knew that he was hiding and crying alone. Fei Ruhe pouted.
Fei Chun explained: "The young master also helped, but that kid didn't know what to do, and he refused to accept it." ”
Zhao Han walked over lightly, and sure enough, he heard a sobbing sound.
Xu Ying squatted outside the railing of the gazebo, wiping her tears and nibbling on wheat bran cakes. His family is a semi-self-cultivated farmer, and the whole family has a total of a few acres of land, and it must be not enough to eat. In order to survive, they had to work additional land and occasionally do some part-time work.
If such a family of semi-yeoman farmers and semi-tenant farmers were to encounter a famine one day, the only land they had would inevitably be annexed.
Surprised that there was someone behind her, Xu Ying didn't dare to look back or stand up. He stuffed the remaining half of the cake into his mouth frantically, and then held his head and prepared to be beaten.
Zhao Han felt pity, took out a few copper coins and said, "At your age, you are growing your body, you can't just eat bran cakes, and take them to buy some food." ”
Seeing the copper coins handed over, Xu Ying finally raised her head slowly. He didn't know who Zhao Han was, so he got up and said, "Your Excellency's kindness has been received in my heart, but one cake is enough to eat." ”
Sure enough, he was very stubborn, Zhao Han left and chased after Fei Ruhe quickly.
"How?" Fei Ruhe asked with a smile.
Zhao Han said: "He is a backbone. ”
