Chapter 29: Why Read
"Poetry is just an embellishment in the imperial examination, after all, Mr. praised it so much, and the students are ashamed!"
Seeing that Zhuang Jing'an was going to continue, Yun Yi hurriedly interrupted in embarrassment.
If he continues to praise, he will have to find a crack in the ground to get into it in embarrassment.
"Don't be humble!"
"Although poetry is useless in the imperial examination, it is enough to prove that you are talented."
"But you're right, as far as the current imperial examination system is concerned, poetry can indeed only be regarded as an embellishment."
"No matter how many flowers you write in your poems, if you don't know the Four Books and Five Classics, it will be very difficult to pass the imperial examination."
"Since Xiaoyou understands these truths, then the old man will not say more, you should only be a good student and study, and get fame as soon as possible."
Hearing Yun Yi say this, Zhuang Jing'an remembered that this kid who made himself full of praise was still just a white body.
Glancing at the poems in his hand, Zhuang Jingan couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.
With such a poetic talent, how could he not even pass the county exam?
"What Mr. taught me is that the students will go to find a master in the next two days, and strive not to delay next year's county exam."
Seeing that the topic was successfully transferred, Yun Yi nodded yes in a hurry.
"Now there are rumors about you in the city, and it will be difficult to find a suitable master!"
Zhuang Jing'an glanced at Yun Yi meaningfully, and sighed as if he had a finger.
"Ask Mr. Zhuang to show Brother Yi a clear way."
Hearing Zhuang Jing'an say this, Shen Youwei, who was sharing sugar water on the side, instantly became anxious.
If Brother Yi can't find his master, won't he miss next year's county exam?
"At the beginning, the old man wanted this kid to worship under my door, but he was rejected by this kid in public!"
Hearing Shen Youwei say this, the joy in Zhuang Jing'an's eyes flashed away, and then she sighed with regret.
"Brother Yi refused?"
Hearing Zhuang Jing'an say this, Shen Youwei couldn't help but look at Yunyi in confusion.
"Thank you for Mr. Meng's attention, it was Meng Lang, a student!"
Seeing Zhuang Jing'an's old matter brought up again, Yun Yi couldn't help but smile bitterly.
The reason why he didn't tell Shen Youwei about this at the beginning was that he didn't want this little girl to support the family alone.
Now that he was broken by Zhuang Jing'an, he had to explain his thoughts to Shen Youwei with a wry smile.
Han Qingyun, who was in a daze on the side, suddenly felt like a lightning strike when she heard that Yun Yi actually rejected Zhuang Jing'an in public.
Worship Mr. Zhuang as a teacher, that is the dream of many students in Beijing!
This Yunyi actually refused in public so directly in order not to make Shen Youwei hard?
Thinking that she was still questioning Yunyi's feelings for Shen Youwei just now, Han Qingyun instantly blushed with shame.
"Brother Yi, I'm not afraid of hard work, as long as you can study hard, I am willing to work hard and tired."
Hearing that Yunyi was actually because she rejected Zhuang Jing'an, the little girl was both self-blaming and moved.
For a moment, tears flowed down her cheeks.
"Little girl, don't cry, I didn't say I wouldn't accept him."
Zhuang Jing'an didn't expect that her words would actually cause Shen Youwei to burst into tears, and hurriedly comforted her.
"Please Mr. accept Brother Yi'er."
Shen Youwei heard Zhuang Jing'an speak, quickly wiped her tears, and bowed her hand towards Zhuang Jing'an.
"As long as this kid is willing to worship me as a teacher, I should teach with my heart."
Seeing the little girl like this, Zhuang Jing'an did not hesitate at all, and accepted it with a wave of her big hand.
"This ...... Student Yunyi, I have seen Mr. ”
Looking at Shen Youwei's burst into laughter, Yun Yi couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.
It's come to this, so the little girl's wish has been granted!
As for daily expenses, I think it should be enough to make a living by writing my own scripts and secretly selling some sugar.
In fact, it's okay, if you really miss next year's county exam because you can't find a master who is willing to take you in, then the real gains outweigh the losses!
"Okay, since you want to worship me as a teacher, I'll test you first for the time being, and see how good your level is!"
Zhuang Jing'an said, and casually picked up the "Analects" on the desk.
Since he accepted Yunyi as an apprentice, Zhuang Jing'an immediately showed the prestige of his master.
He wanted to test the school to find out what level Yunyi's knowledge in the imperial examination was, so that he could teach according to his aptitude.
"Please also ask Mr. to take the school."
Yun Yi saw that Zhuang Jing'an had entered the state so quickly, and couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.
Zhuang Jing'an casually flipped through the book in his hand, but before he turned a few pages, his brows couldn't help frowning.
I saw him close the book, and then he said to Yun Yi:
"Zi said: There must be my teacher in the threesome!"
Seeing that the school examination had begun, Yun Yi hurriedly collected his emotions and replied seriously:
"Choose those who are good and follow them, and change those who are not good!"
Zhuang Jing'an nodded slightly.
"Zi said: Poor without grievances, rich without arrogance."
Yunyi naturally continued:
"Zi said: Meng Gong is Zhao, and Wei Lao is excellent......"
"Those who can do the five are benevolent in the world. Excuse me. ”
"Gong, lenient, faithful, sensitive, and benevolent. If you are respectful, you will not be insulted, and if you are lenient, you will be ......"
Zhuang Jing'an took a rough examination according to the various articles of the Analects.
Yunyi is basically a fluent answer.
"Heaven and the other, what is the fate?"
Just when Yun Yi thought that the school examination had ended, Zhuang Jing'an suddenly continued.
Isn't that what the Analects is about?
Yun Yi thought about it for a while, and then remembered that this was the content of "Mencius", so he hurriedly responded:
"No. Heaven does not speak, but it is just shown by deeds and deeds......"
Zhuang Jing'an glanced at Yun Yi in some surprise, and then continued:
"Those who are sincere in their intentions do not deceive themselves."
It's college hopping again!
Yun Yi didn't be stunned for too long this time, and replied directly:
"Like a foul smell, like a lustful one, this is called self-humility......"
When Yunyi finished memorizing "University", Zhuang Jing'an's face couldn't help but become even more weird.
"You have memorized the four books so proficiently, why haven't you passed the children's test so far?"
"The student has only recently suddenly opened his mind, and the content that used to be muddy is now recited like a divine help."
Yun Yi glanced at Shen Youwei and replied truthfully.
"Enlightenment?"
Listening to Yun Yi's words, Zhuang Jing'an couldn't help but be curious, but then said with relief:
"Similar situations are also recorded in ancient books, since you have such luck, then you need to work harder in the future to strive for the title of the gold list as soon as possible,"
"The students are grateful for the teachings."
Seeing that the examination school had ended, Yun Yi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Although he has often read the Four Books and Five Classics in the past few days, his memory is not deep because the time is still shallow.
When he was admitted to the school by Zhuang Jing'an just now, Yun Yi felt like he was back in a school when he was a student and was inspected by the teacher to memorize the texts.
"Yunyi, why are you studying?"
