Chapter 9: Emergence

After Mr. Shi announced the news of the arrival of the dignitaries, he walked around the lecture hall a few times to check whether the tables, chairs, pen inkstones, ink ingots, books and other objects were neatly placed.

Three students had a mess on their desks, and they were immediately reprimanded and given a beating.

Wei Chen was secretly frightened when he watched from the side, this Mr. Shi is really strict!

After a while, Mr. Shi walked up to Wei Chen, glanced at the more than a dozen pieces of straw paper written on Wei Chen's desk, and said lightly: "The way of calligraphy is not a day's work, only meditation and hard practice, otherwise in the future county test, the county will only look at your words, even if the article is good, it will not be taken!" ”

Mr. taught, Wei Chen respectfully accepted it, and hurriedly bowed his head and said: "Yes, sir, the student has been taught." ”

Mr. Shi said, "You can show me the pen." ”

"Yes." Wei Chen answered, took the pen, did not dip it in ink, and wrote a few words in the air.

Mr. Shi shook his head and said, "No, the wrist should be flat, the tube should be straight, and the pen needs to be three points higher." ”

Saying that, Mr. Shi simply demonstrated it to Wei Chen himself, and Wei Chen picked up the pen and took the pen according to the method taught by Mr. Shi, and soon learned well.

Mr. Shi was very satisfied with Wei Chen's intelligence, stroked his beard and said: "Zi said, when you hear the Tao, you can die at night, as long as you have the heart to learn and go to the Tao, it is not too late to start." From this day on, you need to practice at least 10 times a day, and you should not slack off for a day. ”

"The students remember the teachings of the master."

"And." Mr. Shi glanced at the large stack of inferior straw paper on Wei Chen's table, and said lightly: "This straw paper is easy to smudge with ink, and it is not suitable for practicing calligraphy. ”

Wei Chen was naturally overjoyed when he heard this, after all, there is better bamboo paper, who wants to use this kind of rough straw paper? So he hurriedly bowed down and thanked him.

After Mr. Shi walked out of the lecture hall, the students who were sitting in danger before were not calm one by one.

In their impression, Mr. Shi has always been strict and unpretentious, except for lectures, he has always cherished words like gold, when did he talk to a student so kindly?

"This Wei Chen is just a freshman, what is so special about it that can make Mr. Shi have a blue eye for him?"

"Could it be that he presented Mr. Shi with a bundle?"

"Yes, when you say that, I also remember, it seems that I have never seen anyone present a bundle to Mr. Shi, and we all handed it to Mr. Sun when we entered the school."

"The bundle is an ancient rite, there is not much value, but the meaning is extraordinary, the sage said, self-restraint above, I have no teaching. After accepting the apprenticeship, he has the status of master and apprentice, and it must be precisely because of this that Mr. Shi will look at Wei Chen differently. ”

"In this way, isn't this Wei Chen the only one in our righteous school who is considered to be Mr. Shi's disciple?"

"I knew this earlier, I also gave Mr. Shi the bundle at the beginning, where can Mr. Sun compare to Mr. Shi!"

"When we first entered Yixue, how did we know that Mr. Sun was so unbearable, and when Mr. Sun was a talented man, his knowledge must be higher than that of Mr. Shi, so naturally they all worship Mr. Sun as a teacher!"

"Alas, a mistake, a mistake!"

Wei Chen heard the discussion of the students, and then he knew how much the ancients attached importance to this master-apprentice status.

I was also secretly glad in my heart, fortunately, I already knew what kind of virtue Sun Zhigao was, so I worshipped Mr. Shi as a teacher.

Otherwise, when I see Sun Zhigao's straw bag in the future, wouldn't I have to call the teacher respectfully? It's disgusting to think about!

The next morning, school is in the morning.

In the lecture hall, the rustling sound of turning paper was loud, and many students were scratching their ears and cheeks, reciting to the textbook, and Wei Chen also took out "Mencius" and read it aloud.

When Mr. Shi left the hall yesterday, he said that he would study silently this morning, and the content was what he taught yesterday.

Every time Mr. Sun finishes class, he will say something like the next school exam, but no one cares about it, because what Mr. Sun says has never been counted, and today he didn't even come to Yixue, and Bacheng overslept on which prostitute.

But Mr. Shi said that if you want to write silently in the morning, then you must write silently, so no one dares to slack off.

Soon, Mr. Shi walked into the lecture hall, and as soon as he entered the door, he took the ring ruler and patted it: "Now put away all the books and start writing silently!" ”

The students could only hand in all the textbooks with a bitter face, and returned to their seats, Meng Tong silently wrote "Kindergarten Qionglin", and Lao Shengsilently wrote "Mencius".

Wei Chen listened to the lecture with the old students yesterday, and he also listened to "Mencius".

Wei Chen spread out a piece of freshly arrived bamboo paper, took a pebble in the corner and stopped it, polished the ink, picked up the sheep's hair pen left by his father, dipped it in ink, and moved the pen on the paper.

Wei Chen was already familiar with the content of the entire "Mencius", and Mr. Shi only asked to write the first of the seven articles silently, which was completely a piece of cake for Wei Chen.

Compared with memorizing articles, it takes more effort to write, although he practiced all night yesterday, Wei Chen's calligraphy is still not very good, and Wei Chen can only work hard to write neatly.

After throwing the pen into the pen wash, Wei Chen looked left and right, and found that the students around him were still writing silently with sad faces, and he was the first to finish writing.

Wei Chen smiled slightly, dried the ink, and then rolled up the paper and strode towards Mr. Shi, who was sitting behind the lectern.

Mr. Shi glanced at Wei Chen suspiciously: "Silence is over?" ”

"Yes, sir." Wei Chen respectfully handed over the paper, "Please Mr. read the paper." ”

Mr. Shi put on a straight face, spread out the scroll and placed it on the lectern, picked up a red pen, and read the scroll carefully.

After a while, Mr. Shi put down the red pen, looked at Wei Chen intently, and said lightly: "Yes, "Mencius Liang Hui Wang I" has more than 3,000 words, and there is no fallacy. ”

Wei Chen arched his hand and said: "Mr. Huiyu, the student is not talented, and he has memorized all the seven articles of "Mencius" yesterday. ”

In fact, Wei Chen not only memorized the full text of "Mencius", but also memorized the "Mencius Collection Annotations" with more words, and reviewed it again in the morning.

Unexpectedly, when Mr. Shi heard Wei Chen's words, his face sank, and he put the ring ruler on the lectern heavily: "Do you know that the most opportunistic and unashamed people in the life of a teacher and student!" "Mencius" is difficult, and it is not easy to memorize one article a day, let alone seven? Who do you think you are to memorize the entire "Mencius" in one day? ”

Wei Chen saw the look of disappointment and anger in Mr. Shi's eyes, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: Obviously, I'm already very low-key, if I say that I even memorized the "Notes on Mencius", I don't know how fierce Mr. Shi's reaction will be.

Wei Chen immediately arched his hand and said: "What the student said is not half a lie, please try it." ”

"Of course you have to try!" Mr. Shi snorted coldly, lifted the ring ruler and said, "Since you dare to say this, then don't blame me for being ruthless." Back! If you make a mistake, you will eat me and hit me! ”

The students who were writing silently in the lecture hall all raised their heads and stared at the side of the lectern, wanting to see that Wei Chen would take a few beats from Mr. Shi.

Since they knew that Wei Chen had become the only disciple of Mr. Shi in Yixue by mistake, these students had a very bad feeling in their hearts, and now that they have the opportunity to watch Wei Chen being trained, they naturally can't miss it.

Wei Chen Chengzhu was in his chest, not afraid of the ring ruler in front of him, the old god turned his hands on the ground, shook his head and said: "Zhuang Tyranny saw Mencius, said...... I don't meet Luhou, and the sky is also. How can the son of the Zang family not meet him? Sir, I've memorized the first one. ”

Mr. Shi coughed lightly and said: "You have passed the first article, continue to memorize the second article, if there is a word wrong, it will be correct." ”

Gongsun Chou asked, "The master should be in Qi...... If the dwelling of the saints is even worse, but there is nothing to be done, then there is nothing to be done. ”

The more Wei Chen memorized, the smoother it became, and he really memorized all the full text of "Mencius" like this.

"Okay, no need to carry it."

Mr. Shi closed the book, looked strange, got up and paced in front of Wei Chen, walked back and forth a few times, and looked at Wei Chen carefully, as if he wanted to see Wei Chen through.

After a long time, he sighed leisurely and said, "Go back and prepare a handy paper, so that the academic and political masters will come to the temporary examination school in half a month." ”

Hearing this, Wei Chen secretly clenched his fists: "It's done!" ”

The top priority of Sheng's Yixue today is the arrival of the Xuezheng in half a month, when the Xuezheng University will definitely take the academic examination of the students of the school.

Being able to get the guidance of a provincial Wenzong examination school, this kind of opportunity can be said to be rare but not sought, and the students in Yixue are naturally gearing up and scrambling.

But there are fifty or sixty students, and it is impossible for Xuezheng to pass the examination one by one, so the gentlemen can only select a few representatives with excellent character and learning in advance to come out as the faΓ§ade of Sheng's Yixue, and then meet with Xuezheng University.

Sun Zhigao doesn't care about anything, this selection power naturally falls into the hands of Mr. Shi, since Mr. Shi opened his mouth to ask Wei Chen to prepare the volume, it proves that he has allocated Wei Chen a precious place to meet with the Xuezheng University in his heart.

Wei Chen is confident that the day when Xuezheng comes to Yixue is the time when he is a blockbuster!
