Below, Lin Yanchao asked Lin Liao for leave and went out to Lin's mansion.

Along the way, he didn't know what kind of scholar Lin Shisheng arranged for him. Logically speaking, he had done him so much that he wouldn't have cheated him.

Following the agreed time, Lin Yanchao came to Lin Mansion.

I told the doorman that there were no guests at the Lin Mansion gate last time, but this time several sedan chairs fell at the door. There were many servants sitting in the doorman in the hall, and the sedan chairmen were sitting there drinking tea and eating cakes.

"Do you dare to ask if it's Mr. Lin from Lianjiang Academy?"

"yes."

"The second young master said that he can't be here if he has something to do today, so let the old servant lead you!"

"I'm sorry to lead the way."

Lin Yanchao took out some copper coins for him, and the other party smiled and led the way for Lin Yanchao. It was not the last time Lin Chengyi came, but this time he walked from the sedan hall.

Bypassing the corridor, Lin Yanchao followed the servants to the corridor, and after turning around, he came to a courtyard where the words Longqing was printed on the water well next to the courtyard.

The curtains around him were hanging down, and I heard someone tuned the palace manager from afar and singing quietly.

The old servant smiled and said, "I am here today, and it is the singer in the mansion who is singing."

Lin Yanchao smiled and said, "It sounds very nice."

The old servant smiled and said, "Young Master is such a funny person."

The servant led Lin Yanchao to a study room and said, "There is an embroidery building behind the yard, so the young master is waiting in the study room!"

"good."

The bookstore is very simple, with pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the table. Apart from this, there is only an oil lamp covered with gauze, and nothing else except a few thread-bound books.

Lin Yanchao waited for half an hour before hearing footsteps. A man in green clothes walked over. The man was tied up with a wooden hairpin and his eyebrows were as if he was cut by a knife. However, Lin Yanchao felt a little depressed from the other person.

But I realized that I was very clear when I was teaching in the West these days, most of the scholars who were not successful in their careers and had no hope of imperial examinations. Wasn’t Lin Chengyi and Lao Master the same? But I hope his level is not too bad.

Lin Yanchao had been reading the book for a long time and immediately accused him of guilt. The man in blue asked, "Are you Lin Yanchao?"

"Yes, the students pay homage to the teacher."

"Okay, you sit down first."

Lin Yanchao sat down as he said, and asked immediately: "Don't know the teacher's name?"

The man in green clothes was silent for a while and said, "I teach you that Shangshu is just someone's trust. In fact, the emperor has not wanted to accept his disciples yet. But today, it is also a fate to meet you and me. I call myself a lay Buddhist Fuzhang. If someone asks this in the future, you can just answer this way."

At that time, literati liked to give themselves titles. Some people used Zhai as their titles, some used lay Buddhist as their titles, and some used Shanren as their titles. For example, Li Bai called himself Qinglian Layman. Those who chose lay Buddhists as their titles were generally relatively noble, and most of them were literati who would rather stay at home than go to office. They must have been discouraged in the imperial examination, and then blamed others for their angrily scolded the dark side of the imperial examination, and then never took the exam again.

It is normal to change people in their early twenties to think so, but it would be too angry if you are in your thirties to think so too.

When the other party said this, it sounds like he is unwilling to teach his disciples, but he is just entrusted by others. Lin Yanchao immediately thought to himself, "Damn, you are a scholar who fails to be a scholar, and you still look down on others."

Lin Yanchao stood up and said, "Does there be any difficulties in sir? If you force yourself to teach the students, it will be fine. It's just a pain for the teacher."

The other party was not angry when he heard this, but just smiled faintly and said, "It's not because of you, but because I am a little discouraged and lazy, I'm afraid I won't teach you enough."

Lin Yanchao thought to himself, what an excuse is this? It seems that Lin Shisheng really dealt with himself and just found a teacher who taught the Shangshu. No, if he didn't teach well, I would definitely go to the second young master of the Lin family to argue.

Lin Yanchao said, "Sir, just teach me. If the student feels that the teacher is not very dedicated, he will explain it to the second young master of the Lin family."

At that moment, Mr. Fuzhang curled his lips and smiled and said, "Didn't the young master of the Lin family mention who I am before?"

"Didn't you say you call yourself a lay Buddhist for Fuzhang? That's all, the students don't understand anything else, but is it important?"

"Okay, okay, of course it doesn't matter." The other party smiled slightly, and he was a little happy, his face was not as pale as when he first came in.

Mr. Fuzhang said, "You will come here once every five afternoons every day and teach you for two hours. If you think I can't teach you well, just go there, I won't say anything."

Lin Yanchao was also a little embarrassed at the moment, thinking that if he was really teaching well, he quickly said, "I dare not. If the sir thinks that the student is stupid, I will scold him."

The other party frowned, thinking that the student was not good at studying, wasn’t it natural for the teacher to scold him? Why did he hear him say it seems to be selling his face?

"It's up to you, but I teach my disciples not to value qualifications and understand, so it's nothing to be stupid, and I won't scold you for being stupid."

Lin Yanchao said in his heart, I said modestly that I have become stupid, you really take it seriously, and see how I slap in the face. Lin Yanchao asked, "What does sir value most for students?"

Mr. Fuzhang said, "A teacher valued the most about his disciples. The person I admire most in my life is Su Dongpo. Mr. Dongpo said that it is too late to read books in this life. The general idea is that even if we can read books from time to time, it is too late. So do you think you should study hard?"

It’s too late to read the book in this life, this statement is so mysterious.

Lin Yanchao immediately argued: "Sir, I don't think so."

"Oh, are you questioning Mr. Dongpo's words?"

Lin Yanchao nodded and said, "Yes."

"Why?" The other party looked a little calm.

"Because it was Mr. Dongpo's father? There is no saying in the Three Character Classic. Su Laoquan, twenty-seven, started to work hard and read books. It is said that Su Laoquan started to work hard and was not included in one of the Eight Great Masters of the Tang and Song Dynasties. It can be seen that as long as you are willing to work hard and study hard, it is not too late. It mainly depends on whether you have the determination to work hard!"

Su Laoquan is Su Xun, Su Shi's father. It's such a frigid sound that he used his father to slap his son in the face!

The other party was also stunned. It was not that Lin Yanchao's words that made him speechless, but that it touched his mind and made him think of things in the court.

It’s so nice to be young, it’s never too late.

Mr. Fuzhang smiled lightly and looked at Lin Yanchao and said, "Is it fun to show off your mouth? I heard that you are very good at speaking and saved the life of Mr. Wangzhai's grandson. However, you cannot write articles on your mouth, and you must have thousands of words in your writing."

"Whether I write my article well depends on how my teacher teaches me?" Lin Yanchao successfully passed the blame.

The other party shook his head, and the two sat opposite each other in front of the desk. The other party turned the Shangshu and said, "Some days, I haven't studied Shangshu anymore, so let me think about it."

Lin Yanchao almost vomited blood. What does it mean that he hasn't studied some days? This is too unprofessional.

But when the other party opened the Shangshu page by page, he started to turn it a little slowly, and then he turned it very quickly. Finally, he nodded and said, "Is it because you are learning Shangshu from me, to learn the learning of practical application or the way to take the exam?"

"What is the way to apply it? What is the way to take the exam?"

The other party shook his head and said, "The learning that applies to one's use is to read the scriptures, and I will speak as I like to speak."

"The way to take the exam is to give a special lecture on the imperial examination. Of course, it will also talk about the philology and the meaning of the classics, but it will not spread. Moreover, I will not talk about the chapters such as the song of the Five Sons, Tang Si, Pan Geng, Wei Zi, Xibo Kanli, Jin Teng, Gu Ming, Kang King's Hao, and Wen Hou's Destiny."

"Why is this?"

The layman sighed and said, "You really don't know at all. The song of the Five Sons, mourning the loss of the country, the oath of Tang, the rebuke of the king Wudao, Pan Geng, the words of moving the capital, Weizi, the ministers fleeing, and the other chapters are also inappropriate. If the examiner uses this question, it is a taboo."

Lin Yanchao was overjoyed when he heard this. Shangshu originally had the least number of words in the Five Classics, so it was not easier to have a few less articles.

Lin Yanchao thought for a while and said, "Then please teach me the way to take the exam first, and then apply it to the application?"

"Why is this?"

"Of course, reading is based on application, but everything has the right to do. Nowadays, students must pass the exam for the outer sect and enter the middle sect. However, although they want to learn several chapters such as the Song of the Five Sons, they still want to learn it, but their manpower will eventually be exhausted, so please teach me the way to take the exam first."

"After a month, the students have free time, and the teacher will teach me how to use it from beginning to end."

After hearing this, the layman nodded slightly and said, "It makes sense, I am not a person who studies hard."

Lin Yanchao said: "Can you start teaching students?"

The layman said, "No hurry, let me explain it first. The comments of the Shangshu used by the scholars are collected from the "Five Classics and Four Books" compiled by Yongle. The "Five Classics and Four Books" are mainly written by Zhuzi's disciple Cai, but there are quite some errors in the book collection. Later generations also wrote "Shangshu Cai Chuanzhi" and "Shangshu Cai Chuanzhi" and other books to question each other. I was eight years old and I was instructed by the Shangshu. When I was eight years old, I learned from the Shangshu and Chengye Master. When I was older, I learned from a group of families and asked famous teachers for advice. Finally, I had some private opinions. These were quite different from those in "Shu Collection Chuanzhi". I will put several scriptures together and tell them about their differences..."

After saying this, Lin Yanchao felt that the other party seemed to be very tall and no longer had a slight scruple.

Then the man in blue clothes said slowly, Lin Yanchao listened carefully and picked up the pen to record.
