Chapter 150: Mingzhi Academy
As she was talking, the old woman had prepared her things, carried two bowls of rice porridge, walked in cautiously, put them on the old table, hurried out again, took a stack of wild vegetables, wiped her hands on her clothes, and said: "There are only our ancestors and grandchildren in this house now, if you don't dislike it, you can stay for two days." ”
Zhang Changshou looked at the rice porridge on the table, turned his head and asked, "Milk, what about yours?" ”
"Mine is in the pot!" The old woman smiled extremely unnaturally, "There are rules in our house, there are guests here, women can't be served, you should eat first." ”
Zhang Yizhi picked up the rice porridge casually, looked at the few grains of rice sinking in it, suddenly realized something, and gently put it down and said, "Wait a moment." ”
He went out, took the salute outside the door inside, took out the dry food from it, and laid it on the table. "I bought this cake outside, and it was just right with rice porridge."
"I can't do it, I can't help it!" The old woman waved her hand again and again.
Zhang Changshou swallowed his saliva.
"Sister-in-law, don't shirk it, longevity is also the time to grow your body. Anyway, it's already here, and dry food is of little use to me. ”
Under his persuasion, the old woman finally took her seat.
Evenly mixed the rice porridge, just this dry food, Zhang Yizhi glanced at longevity, and couldn't help asking: "Longevity is the time to learn things, why don't you let him go to school?" ”
"Going to school?" The old woman subconsciously raised her head and said with a wry smile: "Where can we bear it?" The nearest private school is also in the south of the city, and I don't have two taels of silver a month, so I can't get down. ”
"Isn't there a academy in the county? I just came from inside, and there are a lot of children in it! Zhang Yi subconsciously said.
"You mean that Mingzhi Academy? That's amazing, I heard that it was built by some kind of big official. The children who can study in it will all be big officials in the future. The old woman took a small bite of the bread, showed an exaggerated countenance, and said, "That place, no money can enter." ”
"Can't get in even if you have money? Isn't that a book for the children of ordinary people? Zhang Yizhi asked.
The old woman laughed and said, "How is that possible? The academy, the cost of a year, can't be a hundred taels. I heard that the children of the dignitaries and nobles in the southern city are all there. ”
"Does the academy still charge tuition?" Zhang Yizhi's hand holding the dough subconsciously shook and put it on the table.
Isn't it just that he can support more than half of his annual income for the maintenance of the academy so that the children of poor families in the county can go to school?
That's what he set it up for. Now, it doesn't seem to be what he had hoped.
He wanted to ask something, but suddenly the scene of the busy traffic when he came to pick up the child today came to his mind, and he looked down at the rice porridge that was almost only water, and his brows furrowed involuntarily.
"Longevity, do you want to read?" He asked.
Changshou nodded vigorously and shook his head again. "Let's be a soldier. Being a soldier has something to eat, and it costs money to study. ”
"What if you can have food when you study?" Zhang Yizhi asked with a smile.
"How can there be such a good thing in the world?" Zhang Changshou gave him a blank look.
The old woman didn't know what he meant, so she said to herself: "It's better to join the army, and the army has something to eat." ”
Zhang Yizhi's face became more and more ugly, he put down the dough in his hand, and his chest suddenly rose and fell violently.
"Grandpa, what's wrong with you?" Zhang Changshou looked at him puzzled.
Why did this old man who looked at the good face suddenly seem to be very angry.
"Changshou, you come with me to the academy!" Zhang Yizhi said in a deep voice.
Zhang Changshou shook his head and said, "I'm not going!" It's not a place we can go. ”
"If you want to study, come with me!" The Way of Righteousness.
The old woman was startled and thought something had happened.
Zhang Changshou shook his head: "Forget it, I don't study anymore." He stuffed the bread into his mouth and muttered, "The people in the academy didn't treat us as human beings at all." Go there to get angry? ”
Zhang Yizhi's chest rose and fell violently, but he couldn't swallow this breath.
"Grandpa, what's wrong with you?" Zhang Changshou exclaimed.
Zhang Yizhi had already strode out of the house and got into the carriage.
Lu Gong listened to the wind and knew the meaning, and he had already heard all of this in his ears. If before, he might have felt angry, but now he took it for granted.
The seowon set up by the Prime Minister was extraordinary.
Not to mention the quality, at least the name and the meaning behind it are different. For students who go out from here, examiners at all levels have to give some face. Maybe many of the examiners are also students of Master Zhang.
Can such resources be wasted?
Lu Gong thought it was impossible.
"Let's go! Go to the Academy! "Zhang Yizhi has already ridden his horse. Lu Gong was silent.
Soon came to the academy, Zhang Yizhi stepped forward in a huff and slammed the door directly with his hand.
Soon, the old man opened the door and came out, and the moment he saw him, he was furious: "Old thing, are you finished?" ”
"Call your dean out!" Zhang Yizhi shouted loudly.
"Get out!" Zhang Yizhi was greeted by a footprint on his chest.
Zhang Yizhi fell to the ground, but he quickly got up and took out a jade pendant from his arms. "Call your dean out!"
The old man has received many dignitaries all the year round, and his eyesight is still very deep, and when he saw the jade pendant at this time, his face moved slightly, and he realized that he seemed to have made a big mistake.
"The academy is closed, what's the matter, come back tomorrow."
"Get out of the way!" Zhang Yizhi was already furious, and directly stepped forward to push the old man away and strode in.
In the academy, the noisy sound had already aroused the minds of the people inside.
A long-bearded scholar in the year of the Mandate of Heaven, with four teaching gentlemen, walked out quickly, and when he saw the old man coming, he couldn't help but shout: "Don't you know what kind of place this is?" What are you yelling about? ”
Zhang Yizhi stopped in place and stared at him coldly. "You're the dean of Mingzhi Academy?"
Before the long-bearded scholar could speak, the four teaching gentlemen next to him had already rushed up and shouted around Zhang Yizhi: "What a big dog guts, how can you talk to the dean?" ”
They were gearing up, apparently ready to do it.
The old man who was guarding the door was in a hurry, but he didn't know what to do for a while.
Zhang Yizhi straightened his chest, looked around coldly at this time, and his voice was already extremely cold: "With your appearance, what do you have the face to teach and educate people?" It's a shame on the faces of the world's readers! ”
"Presumptuous!" A middle-aged scholar had already raised his fist.
Lu Gong really couldn't stand it anymore, his figure flashed, and he landed in front of Zhang Yizhi, blocking the punch.
Zhang Yizhi didn't take a step back, stared at the long-bearded scholar and said, "Old man Zhang Yizhi, I want to see how you explain today!" ”
