Chapter 145: Confidant Brother
"Well, that's right." Instructor Meng nodded, he didn't mean to ask Zhou Dao'an to take the imperial examination at all, on the contrary, many of them who were born in the Wenzong sect had never experienced the scientific examination. Because if you want to take the road of Wenju, you have to put a lot of energy into studying the examination mechanism and exercising the details of the examination style, just like making a dojo in a snail shell. Therefore, many people in Wenzong jokingly say that Wenju can also be called a kind of learning - "examination of learning".
On the contrary, many of the great writers of the time entered the Tao from "interest", and there is no shortage of cultivators. Therefore, Zhou Daoan explained that he has a family inheritance, and cultivation is inevitable, but he is very interested in literature. In this way, he can be academically free, and with his poetic talent, he may become a generation of writers.
"Since you don't take the path of literary studies, then the subject of calligraphy is not necessary - if you don't take the exam, the quality of calligraphy is just a color-enhancing item, and if you are not interested, you can not learn it at all." Teacher Meng is very practical and gives advice to Zhou Daoan.
"In contrast, history and reason should be more suitable for you. Your answer is implicitly 'rational' (philosophical), so the talent should be ...... History, on the other hand, has always been complementary to literature, and literature must go far, and history cannot be left behind...... At present, although the teachings stipulate that one person must study two subjects, the minor subjects are not limited to one. If you don't have time to take care of it, you can study literature and science in one day, and literature and history in one day, alternately without delay. β
You can do it this way! Then there's no need to choose. Zhou Daoan immediately thanked the teacher for his guidance, and then went to sign up for other subjects. After a circle, he enrolled in two minor courses - books and history.
Why didn't you report it? Because Zhou Daoan himself has a very mature ideological system, although he has crossed into this world, he will still maintain the original three views, and it is good to be compatible with the concepts of this world. There's really no need to study philosophy specifically.
Books and history are indispensable for becoming "literary and artistic youth". Learn to read, because in the previous life, even if Zhou Daoan had the heart, he was unable to take into account the "interest" disciplines of calligraphy and painting, and in this life, Zhou Daoan decided to at least learn to write well. Studying history, because literature and history are not separated, Teacher Meng is right.
Zhou Daoqi completely followed Zhou Daoan, and he reported whatever the fourth child reported, without bothering his brains. And following Zhou Daoqi, there were also Dahui and a few little heels. Dapeng, but he had his own ideas and chose Lihegong. These two are very different, but they directly correspond to the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Criminal Affairs and the Ministry of Industry in the career of Wenju. He was born in a noble family, and if he wanted to maintain his family status, he must ensure that someone was an official in the court. Therefore, he still has to go to work, choose a major that connects with the future "work", and avoid detours.
Today, apart from signing up for "class placement", there are no other arrangements for the public school. The students discussed the matter of dividing the subject the most, and the rest of the three fires about teaching were not small.
For Zhou Daoan, this day was just a "opening ceremony". It was Zhou Daoqi who pulled Zhou Daoan and said, "I will start studying hard tomorrow, and I have to eat a good meal", and went to the small restaurant in the canteen to open a small stove. After dinner, I returned to the dormitory. Zhou Daoqi said again that Xia Chengyin still reported to the writing department, and asked Zhou Daoan to make persistent efforts to attack the enemy...... It was only at night that I returned to the next door.
In this world, there are not so many pastimes at night, Zhou Daoan reads a book for a while and prepares to sleep. His bed had been cleaned up by the diligent little girl Huang Li'er, and when he lay down, he could still smell the faint smell of sunlight mixed with soaphorn. Although water chestnuts have done these things in the past, after changing the bedding, they will never think of taking out the replaced quilt to expose it to the sun and putting it away when it is dry. It can be seen that Huang Li'er treats Zhou Daoan's affairs very carefully.
Maybe it's just because she's her master? Zhou Daoan lay down, pillowed his head with his hands, did not fall asleep immediately, began to let his thoughts fly, and pondered for a while.
Just as he was about to close his eyes, he suddenly heard a low sigh from the windowβit was not early now, and the whole school had become quiet, and with his own single room, it was even quieter. Zhou Daoan's ears are good, so although these sighs are very light, they are still heard clearly by him.
At this point, no one will stand outside their window and sigh to him. If you think about it carefully, this is the inner room of the suite, and there is a low wall outside the wall, planted with some small plants, and there is no place to stay, and the source of the sound is not so much outside the window, but more likely to come in from the outside, through the adjacent small window.
Aren't the people living outside Xiao Gui and Huang Li'er?
Zhou Dao moved with peace of mind, turned over and sat up. He threw on his shoes and walked quietly to the small window, listening carefully for a moment. Soon, he sighed softly again, this time he could hear it more clearly, and as soon as he could distinguish the timbre, he could hear that it was the half-blood girl who was sighing lightly.
Shouldn't she have slept too? Something on your mind at night?
When the window was closer, not only the sighing, but also the movement of the girl turning over on the bed, obviously unable to sleep. Zhou Daoan didn't know why she was like this, he was busy during the day today, and he didn't pay much attention to Huang Li'er.
"Ahem......" Zhou Daoan coughed lightly, although the voice was very small, but it came to the next door through the window, and the girl's movement disappeared immediately.
"Pear? Slept? Zhou Daoan asked in a low voice.
ββ¦β¦ What does Young Master An command? Huang Li'er quickly responded in a low voice.
"I can't sleep a little, pear, you can accompany me outside for a walk! Walking helps you sleep, haha......" Zhou Daoan said.
He couldn't see it, and the face of Huang Li'er in the small room next door turned red all of a sudden-the young master couldn't sleep? Obviously I can't sleep, right? The young master said this for fear of embarrassment......
ββ¦β¦ Do you want to call Xiao Gui? "The sound of the pineapple is the same as that of a mosquito.
"No, just come with me. See you at the door. Zhou Daoan said.
Immediately, he opened the door of the inner room, and walked through the narrow passage through the screen to the outer door of the suite. Pushing open the door, the night outside was quiet, only half a bright moon hung in the air, shining on people sleeplessly.
After a while, Huang Li'er, who was wearing a coat, lowered her head and walked to the door. This girl inherited the tall genes of the northern Rakshasa people, and at the age of fifteen or sixteen, she was slightly taller than Zhou Daoan. However, she felt that it was really inappropriate for her to stretch out and be taller than the young master, so she was a little hunched over and looked a little humble.
Zhou Daoan was wearing pajamas, looking very casual. Huang Li'er quickly glanced up at the young master, lowered her head again, took a step behind Zhou Daoan, and followed behind.
The two didn't speak immediately, but Zhou Daoan deliberately slowed down his pace to keep himself and Huang Li'er side by side.
"Are you used to staying during this time?" Zhou Daoan spoke.
"Hmm......" Huang Li'er was a little confused, and only hummed in a low voice.
This made Zhou Daoan not know how to pick it up, so he walked a few steps in silence.
In addition to the low wall partition, the dormitory of the single room is also separated by some plants, which makes some use of the spatial hierarchy. Zhou Daoan and the others didn't take two steps, and they walked to the edge of the building, where a few lilacs were planted in the corner of the low wall, and the blue-purple buds were about to let go, only revealing a little fragrance.
Zhou Dao'an slowed down, and Huang Li'er also slowed down, and the two walked to the three lilac trees.
"This clove, many people like to call it a clove knot, do you know why?" Zhou Daoan found a topic.
Huang Li'er said she didn't know. So Zhou Daoan explained: "Look at its buds, don't they look like the buckles on the clothes? The bud at the top is like a small nodule, so it is called. β
After a pause, Zhou Daoan said again: "Many people write poems, but they like to write about this kind of little flower. Because this clove knot is like the sorrow in people's hearts, one by one, the troubles also form small knots...... To write a lilac knot is to write about your own sorrows......
"The cloves have always grown one after another, and the knots have been one after the other...... The troubles in people's hearts are one after another, and there seems to be no end. I always think, one by one, you can't get tired to death?
"Then I figured it out. The pimple in my heart is the same as the clove knot. You have to solve them one by one, tired. But if you leave it alone and let it go, when the season comes, it will bloom quietly. As soon as the flowers bloom, won't this knot be untied?
So, if there is a knot in a person's heart, either solve it or leave it alone. At a certain point, these knots will naturally be unraveled. I can't hold it back, so I can find someone to talk to...... In short, people can't be annoyed by these troubles! β
After going around in such a big circle, it turns out that the young master is enlightening me...... Huang Li'er understood. I couldn't help but feel a little funny in my heart - wouldn't it be good for the young master to ask me directly? Oh, I'm afraid I'm embarrassed to say it, right? The young master really bothered.
Since the young master said this, he obviously knew that he couldn't sleep because of his troubles. Huang Li'er's heart warmed, and after thinking about it, she said her troubles.
It turned out that Zhou Daoqi came back with Zhou Daoan after dinner, and talked for a while. When Xia Chengyin was mentioned, he was listened to by Huang Li'er. She already knew that this Xia Chengyin was the evil young man who wanted to dominate herself, and when she came to this school today, she actually had a conflict with the young master...... Could this have something to do with you? You can be regarded as causing trouble for the young master, right?
This girl has been pitiful since she was a child, her mother is gone, her father is an alcoholic, and she has to take care of the family at a young age. Although mature, it does not mean that there is no heart in the heart. In addition, her appearance is a little special, and many civilians are not knowledgeable enough, so they criticize her, and even many people of the same age do not like to be close to her...... Over time, the girl felt that she was not welcomed.
Originally, in the past few days in the Western Zhou Dynasty, the girl felt that everyone was very kind to her, and the lady and the young master were also kind, and her heart gradually became more comfortable. Over time, she will eventually change her mindset. It's just that Zhou Daoqi didn't want to mention Xia Chengyin's matter today, which made her think about it more.
