Chapter 20: The Battle for Position

The next day, Chen Youniao got up, had breakfast, stepped out of the door, and began to trot. He didn't bring Wangcai with him, and went to different liucao halls alone.

It was still early, and there were few pedestrians on the street, and these people looked at Chen Youniao running in surprise, not knowing what this young man was doing. In this world, there is no concept of morning jogging.

Chen Youniao ignored the eyes of others, ran by himself, and when he arrived at a different grass hall, he was sweating all over, and his clothes were wet. Wheezing slightly, but not tired. Thanks to the physical foundation laid when he was doing chores in the Laoshan Dojo before, now the refining level has gradually improved, and his physique is becoming more and more refined, which is not at all comparable to ordinary scholars and scholars.

In the east, there were already several carriages parked in front of the cottage, and other students came faster.

Meng Beiliu's rules are quite strict, if he is late for morning class, even if he is only a few moments late, he cannot enter the door of the lecture hall.

Entering the lecture hall, I saw that the furnishings inside were simple, there was a lecture at the top of the place, and there were more than a dozen futons below, which were distributed in rows and columns, three in a row, a total of six rows, and they were well organized. A small table is placed in front of each futon. On each table, there is a nameplate with the student's name written on it.

This is very good, take a seat.

Chen Youniao's eyes searched, and soon saw his name, which was in the middle of the second row in front, so he walked over and sat down.

After waiting for a while, students continued to come and sit down one after another.

Most of these students were sixteen or seventeen-year-old boys, all with beautiful faces, and there were several girls among them, which surprised Chen Youniao.

It turned out that the imperial examination system of the Dayin Dynasty was mainly based on Jingyi. The content of the scriptures is similar to that of Confucianism, except that there is not much evolution and castration, and it appears free and lively. Women can not only go to school, but also become officials. The inner court of the palace has a palace official system, which is divided into six monks, Shang Gong, Shang Yi, Shang Shi, Shang Fu, Shang Gong, and Shang Bed, and the following are in charge of the twenty-four divisions and are in charge of court affairs. If she performs well, she can even become a female bachelor and take charge of confidential matters.

This is similar to the Sui and Tang dynasties.

Chen Youniao sat on the seat and closed his eyes to rest, and soon, he heard a burst of whispering, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that many eyes around him fell on him.

"You, you're sitting here?"

The voice that suppressed a certain emotion was Chen Shanben from the right hand, and it was a coincidence that their brothers were one left and one right, and they happened to sandwich Chen Youniao in the middle.

Chen Youniao blinked: "My nameplate is here, if you don't sit here, where will you sit?"

"Teacher eccentricity ......"

Chen Shanben said, his eyes turned red, as if he had been greatly wronged.

Chen Youniao was stunned: "It's just a position, did you sit here before?"

"What do you know? The location of the lecture hall is arranged according to the level of admission and grades, you are just a junior who has just entered the school, why do you sit in the front row as soon as you come?"

Chen Shanben's emotions exploded, he had no grudges with Chen Youniao, and he was still a cousin with a blood relationship. It's just because of preconceived notions that I don't have a good impression of Chen Youniao. With the surprise of several times, he felt that he had been slapped in the face, and he inevitably had a backlog of resentment in his heart. Especially now, seeing that Chen Youniao not only successfully apprenticed, but also won Meng Beiliu's appreciation, he sat in the forefront position as soon as he came, which made Chen Shanben unable to bear it anymore, and felt that some things that originally belonged to him had been taken away.

"Originally, it was ranked according to the grades of the school......

Chen Youniao touched his chin, no wonder he sat here, attracting the eyes and criticism of others. However, this is what Meng Beiliu meant, and he can't give it to others. In different liucao halls, Meng Beiliu is the real master, the guest is as the host, what else does it matter?

With the sound of footsteps, Meng Beiliu appeared. As soon as he appeared, the lecture hall was immediately silent, and everyone sat upright and meticulous. Even Chen Shanben, who had an emotional outburst, immediately restrained his expression and behaved respectfully.

Heaven and earth are pro-teachers, and the relationship between teachers and students is very rigorous, and it is by no means child's play.

Meng Beiliu coughed dryly, and said slowly: "There are new students in the lecture hall today, Chen Youniao, you stand up and say hello to the seniors." ”

Hearing the strange name of "Chen Youniao", everyone was surprised again, but I have to say that strange names can always make people impressive.

As soon as the group was moved, Chen Youniao said a polite word, and then sat down, looking down and generous.

Meng Beiliu saw it in his eyes and nodded slightly. He lectured for many years and set the rules, accepting students not only to read words and talents, but also to value people's temperament and bearing. Chen Youniao gave him a good impression, especially that kind of calm bearing, which is rare to see in other students. After all, young people are strong in blood, even if they are studying, they will inevitably look impetuous.

"The south of the Yin Mountains is beautiful, the snow is floating in the clouds, the forest shows the color of the clouds, and the city is cold. ”

Meng Beiliu said: "This poem was written by me yesterday on the spot on Chen Youniao, and he didn't need to write it in half an hour. If you can write it, you might as well tell me in person. ”

The five absolute sentences belong to the simplest form of poetry. But many things, the simpler they are, the more skillful they are.

The students secretly tasted the verses, and their faces were solemn. In all fairness, this poem is not a masterpiece of the world, but it has a long rhyme and is a masterpiece. This is the teacher's on-the-spot proposition, and it only took half an hour to do so, so it seems extraordinary, and there are a lot of extra points, no wonder you can sit in the front row.

Meng Beiliu swept his eyes down: "Chen Youniao, the first to talk about the rules in the old man's class." When you first arrived, you sat in the front, and others naturally disagreed. I hope you can study hard and study hard. Otherwise, when you wait for the next real assessment, you can't learn the article, so you can only be transferred to the back to sit. ”

Chen Youniao hurriedly said: "Students understand. ”

"Alright, let's start the lecture. ”

Meng Beiliu patted the ruler and began to speak in a subdued manner.

In the lecture hall, there were more than a dozen students, they entered different liucao halls at different times, and the foundation of learning was also different, but Meng Beiliu didn't care about these, and he didn't say that he would make up for anyone to open a small stove. If students do not understand what is said in class, they mainly rely on their own hard work to learn by themselves. Of course, if you have any questions, you can also ask Meng Beiliu for advice. However, Meng Beiliu didn't bother to answer general questions, but would reprimand the students for not even understanding this.

Chen Youniao listened carefully, his foundation was really poor, and it could even be said that he didn't have any official foundation. Fortunately, the articles in the world are similar in terms of the essential structure, as long as you master the format of the essay and the propositional arguments, then it is not difficult to write a qualified article.

Among them, the most important premise is to be familiar with the major scriptures.

Chen Youniao had already learned before that there were more than 20 copies of a complete set of scriptures and texts, and it was even more terrifying to purchase them all, coupled with a large number of commentaries and interpretations. In ordinary bookstores, they often have to sell through the text of righteousness, and if you want to buy valuable interpretation books, you must have a relationship and a way.

In the Dayin Dynasty, books were one of the precious resources.

In class today, Chen Youniao was not fully prepared, and only listened to the lecture with his ears. I finally got out of class, and quickly got up and went out, going to the big bookstore in the city to buy books.

"This book of "The Theory of the Golden Mean" is ......"

"And "The Sage Said" ......"

"And the Spring and Autumn Notes......"

In the bookstore, Chen Youniao bought nine books of scriptures in one go, and it was very painful when he paid the money. Of the 1,000 taels of the talismans, 500 were given to Uncle Wang as a family, and the remaining 500 were used to pay for tuition.

Money, I can't help but spend it.

Holding a large stack of books, he returned to the house, sat in the room, reached for a book, and flipped through it.

Airplanes!

There is a change in my mind, it is "Wenxin Carving Dragon".

The next moment, Chen Youniao was pleasantly surprised to find that there was a new text in the blank addition behind the "Original Path Learning" in the upper part of "Wenxin Carving Dragon".
