Chapter 5 Going to school
After the township test list is completed, the county school also continues to open classes, students come and go, those who are in the middle of the list should be happy to go to thank the teacher, and those who fail to the list should also pack up their bookcases and continue to go to school to wait for the next scientific examination.
Gu Yunxiao's courtyard was lively early in the morning, and Mrs. Wang kept talking, and she was ready to go out after preparing the thank-you ceremony. After his brother was lifted, Gu Yunlin, who was told to study hard day and night, struggled in bed for a while, but still reluctantly got up under the urging of the wind.
And Gu Yunji is here, everything outside doesn't seem to affect him at this moment. He slowly and methodically took out the light blue school uniform from the cabinet and changed into it, carefully put the pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and textbooks into the bookcase, and after packing up, he went out to school.
Huating County School is located on the bank of the Chengdong River, with willows in spring, and the environment is very quiet. There are more than 100 students in the college, which are divided into four classes. The students in Class A and Class B are all Xiucai, and the remaining two classes are children. The county school holds a big examination every six months, and the top Xiucai and Tongsheng are respectively admitted to Class A and Class C, and enjoy the food and silver issued by the government every month. Students in classes B and D may be expelled if their grades do not improve for a long time.
Gu Yunji became a child not long ago, and he is still in class Ding. In the school, there were already seven or eight people sitting in twos and threes, he looked around, and casually picked a place by the window to sit down.
As soon as he sat down, before the pen, ink, paper and inkstone were arranged, an untimely arm appeared in front of him and propped up on the table. He looked up and saw a tall man in his school uniform standing in front of him.
The man raised his chin, looked down at Gu Yunji condescendingly, and knocked on the table vigorously as if provocatively: "It's only been a few days since the class started, so I forgot whose location is here?" ”
This person is Mrs. Wang's maiden nephew, named Wang Xiangling, because he is the only son in the family, he has been used to lawlessness since he was a child, and he is the most bullying and afraid of the hard. He also likes to boast of being a concubine, and Gu Yunji, who doesn't look down on his concubine on weekdays, is not less troublesome with his original body.
Gu Yunji didn't stop, continued to put books on the table, and said lightly: "I remember that there is no rule of fixed seats in the county school, and it has always been a first-come, first-served selection. I see that the position on the left hand side of the first row is good, the light is very good, and Cousin Wang can go and sit there. ”
As he spoke, he stood up and looked directly into the other's eyes, his face calm and untimid.
Because the distance was too close, Wang Xiangling was forced to take a step back, and his momentum was weakened by one point. Seeing that Gu Yunji didn't quickly pack up his things to make room for himself as in the past, he was a little displeased, so he snatched the book from Gu Yunji's hand and threw it on the ground, saying, "Hey, it's strange today, you dare to talk to my son like this?" Get up, come on! Don't you understand? This is my location! ”
Gu Yunji picked up the book unhurriedly, patted the dust on it, his tone was still calm, but the words he said made Wang Xiangling angry half to death: "Cousin, don't be angry, you will still rinse your mouth more in the morning, I can see the vegetable leaves on your teeth." ”
Hearing this, the students around who were watching the excitement immediately burst into low laughter.
Wang Xiangling suddenly felt embarrassed, and grabbed his collar in annoyance, and raised his fist: "Gu Yunji!" You dare to tease Ben Gongzi! See if I don't teach a lesson today...... Uh-huh, hmm! yue! ”
Without waiting for the other party to react, Gu Yunji reached out and stuffed it into Wang Xiangling's mouth, which was wide open due to anger, and blocked all the words he hadn't finished back in his throat. Wang Xiangling was caught off guard, retched directly, and then sat on the ground dizzily.
Gu Yunji withdrew his hand, glanced at the saliva on it with disgust, bent down and pulled out the corner of Wang Xiangling's clothes and wiped his hand carefully, and then slowly returned to his seat. Although this trick is effective, it is too disgusting, and it is better to use it less in the future, Gu Yunji thought secretly.
"Hahahahaha......" The people around couldn't hold back anymore and laughed loudly.
"What time is it? Don't get back to your seat yet? At this time, Yu Fuzi walked in with a straight face and a ring ruler, "I think I can be admitted to Xiucai, right?" ”
Hearing this, the crowd who watched the excitement hurriedly dispersed. Mr. Yu has been teaching in the county school for more than 20 years, and he is one of the most senior masters.
"Wang Xiangling, what are you doing sitting on the ground? Are there so many empty seats not enough for you to sit? Master Yu asked.
Wang Xiangling hurriedly got up with a red face, glanced at Gu Yunji hatefully, and didn't dare to explain the reason, so he casually found a place to sit down.
Seeing that everyone was seated, Master Yu cleared his throat and said: "The township examination is over, and the results have come out, although it has nothing to do with you now, but it is also good for you to know more." In the first class of today, each of you will make a strategy. Good students write, and they can be ranked after the results come out. ”
As soon as these words came out, the students immediately wailed.
"Why do you have to take an exam just after school?"
"We're still children, and we haven't learned strategy, how can we write this?"
"Today must be bad luck, I said how did I hear the crow when I went out."
"Silence!" Master Yu knocked on the table with a ring ruler, "Whether you learn or not, you have to write sooner or later." Limited for one hour, the topic is - On the Land Tax of Today. ”
Time is limited, so instead of sighing, it is better to pick up the pen and write two more words earlier. The students spread out the paper and ink and began to answer the questions as if they were resigned, and some of them scratched their ears and cheeks for a long time, but they couldn't hold back a word.
Rent? Gu Yunji raised his eyebrows, he didn't know much about it, but he also heard his father and brother talking about it during the chat, and he knew a little bit about it.
Before answering the question, you must first understand the meaning of the question, and then determine the idea of writing. The scope of this topic is very large, and it is difficult to find an entry point. Among them, the key word is local tax, and the word "trial theory" is used, and there is no mention of whether there are disadvantages of local tax or the advantages and disadvantages of the tax system. Gu Yunji has never written a strategy, but he has done a lot of reading comprehension in his previous life, and after a little thought, he determined the general logic of the text.
First of all, it is necessary to fully explain the specific local tax system and implementation standards of the Great Xia Dynasty, and then analyze the advantages and disadvantages of the tax system in combination with the actual situation - this Gu Yunji does not understand, so he can only write it in combination with what he has seen and heard. In particular, it is necessary to state the shortcomings of the tax system and the adverse effects it brings, and since it is a policy, it is necessary to propose solutions. Therefore, the most important thing is to write a countermeasure to the disadvantages of the tax system. Then add some Chinese words and sentences praising virtue at the end as usual, and the article will be finished.
Once the idea is decided, there is nothing difficult to write. Gu Yunji finished writing the entire article smoothly, glanced at the hourglass in the corner, and only half an hour had passed.
Anyway, there is nothing to do while sitting, it is better to hand in the papers early and go out to get some air, thinking of this, Gu Yunji got up and prepared to hand in the papers. When he passed by Wang Xiangling, he glanced at his scroll casually, and he didn't want him to write two sentences, and there were words in his mouth: "There is a ...... today Uh, yes, what's coming? ”
The school hall was silent, and the sound of Gu Yunji getting up attracted a large number of students to look sideways, seeing that he was about to hand in the papers, many people cast envious, jealous and hateful eyes, and Wang Xiangling showed an expression of disbelief. It took him a long time to write two sentences, and he actually handed in the papers! When did Gu Yunji become so powerful?
No matter what others thought, Gu Yunji just put the roll on Yu Fuzi's table, nodded to him and went out.
Only half of the time has passed, and everyone else is still struggling to write, and Master Yu thought that Gu Yunji would not be able to write, so he simply broke the jar and handed over the white scroll. But I never thought that he had written two pages full of papers, and after a few cursory glances, I found that there was quite a lot of order, and I couldn't help but look at him a little impressed.
Outside the door, Gu Yunji listened to the birds in the courtyard, let out a sigh of relief, stretched his body that had become stiff from sitting for a long time, and wandered aimlessly in the county school.
When I walked outside Class C, I happened to see Jiang Kangshi sitting in front of the window with a sad face, scribbling and changing the scroll in front of him from time to time, and the topic was the same as Gu Yunji. It seems that the masters have discussed it today and made up their minds to embarrass the students.
After passing the time for a while, noon arrived. The bell rang for the end of class in the academy, and the sound of teachers knocking on the ring ruler and ordering the roll was heard in each class. Most of the students were depressed and complained to each other about the difficulty of the exam.
"This time the question was too difficult, I didn't know what to write at all, and it took me an hour to write barely enough to write a page."
"You wrote a page, I was stunned when I heard the title, I just made up a few paragraphs of nonsense, and when I handed in the paper, I was so weak that I didn't dare to look at Master Yu's eyes."
Everyone talked to each other and walked towards the cafeteria. For the children of rich families, the dishes in the county school canteen can only be regarded as average, but it is better to save time and convenience, otherwise it will be too time-consuming to go home to eat, and they are afraid of cold down if they bring food in advance, so most students still choose to eat in the canteen at noon.
Shortly after lunch, the afternoon classes began. The master stopped taking the exam and continued to talk about the county exam.
He suffered a loss here in the morning with Gu Yunji, and Wang Xiangling didn't dare to trouble him rashly. I just stared at him hatefully all afternoon, not knowing what bad tricks I was holding. Gu Yunji didn't bother to pay attention to it, and listened intently to the master's lecture.
In the blink of an eye, it's time for the end of school. Gu Yunji waited at the door of Class C, and grabbed Jiang Kang, who was about to rush out of the school:
"That day, I said in the bookstore, when the county school starts, I will invite you to dinner after school. Forgot? ”
Jiang Kangshi was stunned, thinking it was a joke Gu Yunji said, but he didn't expect him to fall into his heart, and he didn't shirk when he heard the words, and said generously: "Okay!" It's rare that Third Young Master Gu has a treat, and I'm going to slaughter you. You say, Drunken Immortal Residence or Feihong Building? ”
Both of them are well-known restaurants in Huating County, and their consumption is not low. But Gu Yunji brought enough money today, and he could still afford a meal. He smiled slightly: "It's all right." Recently, spring bamboo shoots have been listed, and the pickled fresh food in Zui Xianju is very good, go and try it? ”
"That's a good feeling! The spring bamboo shoots on these two days are the most tender, and they are simmered with ham, which can almost make people's tongues fresh! Speaking of this, Jiang Kangshi also moved his index finger, and couldn't wait to pull Gu Yunji out, "Let's go, let's go now, it's too late, there's no seat!" ”
Jiang Kangshi had long legs and big steps, Gu Yunji was taken by him to a stumbling side, and he only had time to tell Xu Dong, who was waiting outside, from afar, that he would not go home for dinner tonight, so he was dragged away by Jiang Kangshi.
In the drunken immortal house, Jiang Kangshi first ordered pickled Du Xian, then added a few stir-fried dishes and seasonal vegetables, and ordered Xiao Er to serve a jar of rice wine, and then refused to order it again. Gu Yunji wanted to add more vegetables, but he was also stopped by him. Jiang Kangshi looked at the thick branches and leaves, but in fact, he was delicate, he knew that Gu Yunji's hands were not very rich, so he naturally didn't want the other party to empty his money bag for a meal.
Rao is rice wine is not intoxicating, and after a whole jar of down, the two young people are still a little drunk.
Jiang Kangshi opened the conversation with his tongue wide and opened the conversation with the strength of wine: "Yun, Yunji, in the past, I sometimes protected you in front of Wang Xiangling, but in fact, the main reason was that I couldn't get used to his stinky appearance. Now I realize that I really like you! Your sex, your temperament, your appetite for me! From now on, you will be my brother Jiang Kangshi, whoever dares to bully you, just tell me! ”
Hearing this, Gu Yunji was also a little moved in his heart, originally he invited Jiang Kangshi to dinner today, out of gratitude for the other party for taking care of the original body in the past. But after learning more about Jiang Kangshi, I found that he was a sincere and straightforward person. Now, Gu Yunji really wants to be friends with him.
He said cheerfully: "Good! From now on, you and I will be half-brothers! ”
"Hahaha, half-brother, where did you come from, brother? Yunji, you are drunk and confused. ”
"So what? Half-brother, I'm a brother and you're a brother! ”
"No, I'm a few months older than you, I'm a brother, you're a brother."
……
Before they knew it, it was getting late, and the two were full of wine and food, and they also parted.
Walking out of the Drunken Immortal Residence, I saw the red glow in the distance, and the street market that had been noisy for a day was also deserted at this time, and the cool evening breeze blew, removing most of Gu Yunji's wine, he hummed a song, and slowly paced back to Gu's mansion in the twilight.
