In class, Wei Chen smelled the faint scent of ink on the scroll and listened to the sound of reading in his ears, and involuntarily had the idea of reading well.

Wei Chen had memorized all the books in Wei Mingzhao's collection, and felt that he had some foundation, so when he was seated, he did not sit in the freshman group, but sat on the right side.

While Mr. Shi was teaching the new students to read "Mengtong Xun", Wei Chen took out a book from the table, which was the "Mencius" that Mr. Shi was about to teach.

This "Mencius" is not a book from Wei Mingzhao's collection, but a textbook provided by Yixue for free, which was originally placed on the table, and the students need to put it back in place after reading and using it.

There is already a sentence in the text, the rare words are annotated with cut rhymes, and there is a brief explanation next to it, which should be left by a senior of Wei Chen, the font is upright and delicate, and he is a particular person at first glance.

The pages of the book were turned over, the paper was crisp, and Wei Chen automatically ignored the noise around him, and began to read silently with great concentration.

The full text of the seven articles of "Mencius" is nearly 40,000 words, and when Mr. Shi began to talk about "Mencius", Wei Chen reluctantly finished reading it seriously.

Mr. Shi is talking about the first half of the first of the seven articles of "Mencius", that is, "Mencius Liang Hui Wang I".

In fact, Wei Chen is no stranger to this article, and there is a chapter in it, "The Widow is to the Country", which is the content of the textbook in the previous life.

Although he had already studied this part and knew the general meaning of the article, Wei Chen was worried that his understanding in his previous life might be different from that in this life, so he listened very carefully.

Sure enough, although Mr. Shi talked about "Mencius", in fact, he didn't talk about the content of the original text of "Mencius", and from time to time he had to quote from the sidelines, and Wei Chen couldn't understand seventy percent of what he said.

Looking at the appearance of the classmates around him nodding yes from time to time, Wei Chen knew that they must have understood, and a sense of crisis arose for a while.

"Even if I have the ability to remember, but the foundation is still too weak, if I want to catch up with these classmates, I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort!"

Wei Chen simply dipped his pen in ink, wrote down all the incomprehensible content of what Mr. Shi said, and kept it for after class to figure it out slowly.

Mr. Shi glanced at the lecture and saw that Wei Chen was writing hard, bowed his head slightly, and immediately silently slowed down his speech by two or three points.

The morning school passed quickly, and Mr. Shi closed the book and asked the students to read the books on their own, that is, to review the content of the morning lecture again.

Seeing that Mr. Shi was leaving, Wei Chen hurriedly got up, picked up the exquisite gift box containing the six rites of apprenticeship, and stepped forward: "Mr. Shi, this is the student's bundle. ”

When Sun Zhigao was there before, Wei Chen deliberately didn't take out the bundle, because he didn't want to recognize this teacher from the bottom of his heart, but this Mr. Shi seems to be a good teacher, and of course Wei Chen can't lose the etiquette of apprenticeship.

Mr. Shi glanced at the gift box lightly and asked, "What's your name?" ”

Wei Chen hurriedly said: "Student Wei Chen." ”

Mr. Shi nodded, didn't say anything more, and turned around and left after accepting the gift box.

Wei Chen stayed where he was, scratched his head, and said secretly: This Mr. Shi is too cold, right?

After a while, the leisurely bell rang and it was time for lunch.

Sheng Yixue has one day off every month, and the remaining 28 days have to attend classes, and each day is divided into morning, afternoon, and evening.

After the morning school, students have lunch after class and come back to study after eating.

Wei Chen took advantage of this time and hurriedly ran to his house to put down his bookcase and luggage.

The house is a long shop, students who are not in Youyang County live here, Wei Chen lived in the orphanage in his previous life, and he didn't reject it very much, and even faintly missed it.

When he arrived at the cafeteria, the rice was gone, but Wei Chen still got two big meat buns, a steamed bun, and a plate of pickles, both meat and vegetarian, which were better than ordinary people.

Sheng's Yixue is funded by Master Sheng Weisheng, and hires special husbands and cooks as handymen to cook for the students, and the food is really good.

After lunch, Wei Chen returned to the lecture hall, and there were already many students in the lecture hall, gathering in twos and threes to gossip.

Wei Chen could see that there were many circles among these students, some were related to the Sheng family, and there were also children born to the Sheng family, and the most left were poor students from several townships near Youyang.

Wei Chen has no plans to integrate into the circle for the time being, he came to the academy to study, as for friends, as long as he treats people sincerely, he can always make friends slowly in the future.

Mr. Shi had already arranged the afternoon class, that is, to review the content he had talked about in the morning, and Wei Chen simply memorized all the texts that Mr. Shi taught in the morning.

Read the book a hundred times, its meaning is self-evident, and endorsement is also helpful to understand, which has always been Weichen's strength.

After memorizing "Mencius", Wei Chen took out the "Mencius Collected Notes" again, flipped to the content about King Liang Hui in it, and memorized it while understanding it.

After both of them memorized well, Wei Chen took out the handouts he had written down in the morning and read them again, and at this time, the feeling of reading the handouts was completely different from that of the morning, and the integration was very fast.

It was getting dark, Wei Chen had dinner, rested for a while, and felt energetic, so he stretched his waist and fought again.

In the evening class, Wei Chen did not endorse again, but began to practice calligraphy. In the previous life, although Wei Chen could also write calligraphy, he was just getting started, and he could barely be a specialty in his previous life, and it became a weakness in this era.

So Wei Chen directly asked for a large pile of straw paper from the handyman, ready to practice calligraphy.

This straw paper process is simple, the paper is rough, ordinary people in the village can make themselves, generally used by the people as straw paper, but for the poor family readers, it is a good material to practice calligraphy.

As for the better bamboo paper, the cheapest one also costs twenty wen a knife, even if Sheng's Yixue is not bad for money, it will not be wasted casually practicing calligraphy for students.

Wei Chen picked up half of the residual ink on the table, added a little water to the old inkstone, and began to grind it slowly.

Wei Chen practiced the pavilion style, although it lacks the air of liberalization, and it is slightly restrained, but the dot painting is thorough, the structure is plain, and it is very suitable to be used as an exam font.

After an hour's post, Wei Chen felt as if he had grown a little, so he nodded with satisfaction and put the pen into the wash.

As soon as I looked up, I saw Mr. Shi walking into the lecture hall, glanced at it, and said loudly: "In another half a month, the academic and political master will learn from righteousness and rectify the style of study. ”

As soon as Mr. Shi's words came out, the students were in an uproar.

Xuezheng, that is, supervising Xuezheng, also known as supervising and supervising, is in charge of the culture and education of a province, and has the responsibility of observing the style of learning, and it is common to inspect the academies under his rule.

But Sheng's Yixue has always been unknown in the academies and schools in Jiangnan Province, and the previous Xuezheng has never been here, who would have thought that this time Xuezheng would actually come to Sheng's Yixue in person!

Moreover, when the academic and political authorities are here, can the county not accompany them?

The first three exams of the imperial examination are the county examination, the government examination and the academy examination, among which the examiners of the county examination and the academy examination are the magistrate and the school administration respectively, and it can be said that the fate of the students can be decided in a word.

Now that these two are actually going to Yixue to watch the wind, why aren't the students excited and worried?

Wei Chen's eyes are also difficult to hide the excitement, learning politics and righteousness, will definitely test the students' studies, when the time comes, if you can perform one or two properly, it will be a great opportunity to get ahead and soar!
