Chapter 19: A Beautiful Woman Has an Appointment (Eighth)
This is the strength of the best academy in the world! Not only does it possess extremely powerful abilities, but it can also quickly teach this ability to students! Obviously, for an academy, personal strength is not the most important.
The most important thing is that you can pass on the knowledge you have learned to the scholars in the most concise way!
At this time, Lin Fengjin realized that in terms of personal strength and profound knowledge, the Shen brothers from Tianchang Academy were not necessarily inferior to Wang Xunzhi, but compared to their teaching methods and abilities, they were even inferior to Wang Xunzhi.
He couldn't catch up with even half of it! What's more worth mentioning is that in this month, Wang Xunzhi didn't even have time to teach Lin Fengjin every day. The most common thing he said was to point at the copy.
Said to Lin Fengjin:
"copy."
Then when Lin Fengjin handed in his homework, he said "good" to express that he had received it.
In other words, Wang Xunzhi did these things without expending any effort at all.
Of course, the purpose of this month's surprise training is to let Lin Fengjin improve his handwriting so as not to become a laughing stock in the academy, and at the same time to get Lin Fengjin on the right track.
From now on, Lin Fengjin, as a low-educated person with only a child's education, will have to attend large classes and listen to lectures together with hundreds of people. These basic things are just killing chickens with a sledgehammer, and there is no need for Wang Xun
In short, for doctoral tutors like Mr. Yangming, or even postdoctoral tutors - these simple things will naturally be taught by experienced Confucians who have studied these things carefully, and what they teach are the essence that has been refined over time.
After attending the big class, Lin Fengjin finished his homework in the afternoon - the privileges of an entry-level disciple were revealed. At this time, he still had many choices, such as Wang Xunzhi and Mr. Yangming.
When Mr. Jiuyuan started giving lectures, Lin Fengjin could go and listen as a matter of course. Even when Mr. Jiuyuan started giving lectures, he could also go. After all, Lu Jiuyuan's words of "the only named disciple" were indeed very weighty and could not help but make people think wildly.
In addition, although according to the rules, entry-level disciples do not have the right to ask questions. Only disciples who enter the room can ask questions once a day, and disciples who enter the hall can listen three times. But everyone probably understands in their hearts that according to Lin Fengjin's previous level of attention,
, and his high-end apprenticeship ceremony, it is absolutely impossible to look at him from the perspective of an entry-level disciple. I believe that if Lin Fengjin asks questions, both Mr. Yangming and Mr. Jiuyuan will give very detailed answers.
.
In fact, Wang Chengwu said very directly while drinking wine with a group of friends that although there are many things that are inconvenient to say, if it were not for the academy's regulations that only ordinary disciples could be recruited at most, Lin Fengjin would definitely be a disciple of Yibo. In fact,
He was also trained as a disciple of Yibo
Of course, in the past month, due to the influence of Lin Fengjin’s apprenticeship ceremony, all the students from some backgrounds who want to become apprentices have begun to take the "higher" route. The most intuitive feedback is around Donglin Academy
Commercial taxes in this area have increased by 80% compared with last month, especially luxury goods consumption, which has increased nearly five times compared with the same period in previous years.
In addition, the largest racecourse in Yedu also experienced an unprecedented upset.
A little-known horse won a Grand Slam in its first appearance, an amazing Grand Slam!! All in the thousand-step field, the three-thousand-step field, the ten-thousand-step field, the obstacle course, and the long jump.
Got first place!
More importantly, someone placed a heavy bet on this horse! Because of this, the competition that day was conducted under strict supervision. Elites from the snake-eating army were even invited to referee, so that they could maintain
Absolute fairness and justice.
Because the person who placed the big bet was His Highness the Crown Prince.
In this huge gamble, His Highness the Crown Prince succeeded in plundering 1,840,000 taels of silver with a terrifying probability of thirty-seven to one, which was almost the net profit of Yedu Racecourse in less than half a year.
But willing to admit defeat, this horse won five games in a row without even a controversial penalty, and the word "Prince" eliminated the possibility of others wanting to default on the money.
In the end, some shrewd people discovered that the horse that the prince took out had been deliberately dyed, so it looked like a variegated horse, and the horse had shaved hair around its four hooves.
traces of.
However, apart from the ban on using monsters to participate in the racecourse, there is really no corresponding system that prohibits dyeing and shaving. Since there is no such thing, the prince's income is blameless.
Then a news came out that the horse race owned by His Highness the Prince was a divine horse with the blood of Pegasus. This time it was just a matter of excitement, so it would only appear this once. This news was obviously for the horse race.
The group felt relieved. In fact, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
However, following this news, it was not difficult for someone to follow the clues and find out that His Highness the Prince's horse is not unique. There are three other horses that can keep pace with it, although one of them has been beheaded by a very heinous beast.
However, the remaining two heads are still alive. One head is currently in the stable of Mr. Jiuyuan, and the other one is in the mansion of Lord Diao.
The value of these two male horses immediately rose from the hundreds of thousands taels of silver that Lin Fengjin had previously estimated to hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.
After being categorically told that they would not sell or participate in the competition, the rest of the people began to have the idea of breeding famous horses. Horses are different from pigs and cows. The latter can be bred in estrus all year round, but
Horses usually go into estrus between March and July and last for one month.
Although time has passed at this time, there is still something called an appointment in the world. The final price was three thousand taels of silver for one breeding, and ten thousand taels of silver could guarantee that the signed female animal would bear its cubs.
Therefore, the breeding deposits collected by Lu Mansion and Diao Mansion this month have both reached an unexpected 30,000 taels of silver. By March to July next year, at least the breeding income of this horse can reach a very impressive 60,000 taels of silver.
Around. And it is estimated that this money can be kept as long as the horse does not die.
At this time, Mr. Jiuyuan understood the true value of Lin Fengjin's apprenticeship ceremony. Of course, many people also understood the reason why Lin Fengjin occupied Shiquan Building, but the Diaohou Mansion did not even say a word.
.
However, as people got to know Lin Fengjin better, Lin Fengjin became more low-key. He wore the simplest and most ordinary, even shabby linen robes. He was cautious about his words and deeds every day. In various rumors,
In the ever-evolving Donglin Academy circle, the waves he once caused were soon overshadowed by more and newer things.
And this is what Lin Fengjin is happy to see, because he believes that no teacher will like students who are in the limelight outside of schoolwork and calm down to learn. That is what every teacher wants to see their students working hard.
There is no one thing to do.
On this day, after Lin Fengjin finished the Analects course, he was not in a hurry to leave. He looked at a note on the table, which was written in Juanxiu's handwriting:
"Take a nap in the afternoon and put a cup of Yunwu tea. I hope you will come and meet me, Min."
"This woman is a big trouble," Lin Fengjin murmured in a low voice, as if he was talking to himself or warning himself.
However, after Lin Fengjin hesitated, he still sighed slightly. He stood up and stood in the aisle in a very unsightly way. People flowed past him like a tide, as if he was divided into two halves by a reef.
From time to time, complaints came from the torrent, but Lin Fengjin stood quietly on the spot, then smiled at a girl who was panicking and trying to take a detour:
"Junior sister Su?"
The girl suddenly raised her head, a little flustered, a little stunned, and a little flushed on her cheeks. This was the normal reaction of most girls in this era when they met a man. She couldn't help but raise her eyes and glance at Lin Fengjin.
, and then timidly said:
"Senior Brother Lin, what's the matter?"
Lin Fengjin smiled and said:
"I heard that you are also from Jujiu Society?"
Junior sister Su's eyes lit up and she nodded.
Lin Fengjin smiled and said:
"So, where can I find Fu Min'er?"
Junior Sister Su's eyes suddenly dimmed, and she said rather unhappily:
"It should be over at the Huque Tower. If nothing happens, they will hold a poetry meeting there, or study the content of the next collection."
Lin Fengjin nodded and said:
"Thank you very much."
There are neither tigers nor magpies here in the Tiger and Magpie Building. The origin of this name is very strange. It is because the person who paid for the construction of this building at that time was a tiger, and the time of completion happened to be the day when they met at the Magpie Bridge, so
Hence the name.
Osmanthus flowers are widely planted around here. In the heat of August, which has gradually waned, the fragrance of osmanthus overflows bit by bit, which is refreshing. In addition, because there is a statue of Mencius not far away, the popularity here is also very strong.
of.
The Tiger Que Tower has four floors. At the time of the wooden structure, it was already considered a high-rise building. There were many scholars on the first, second and third floors, some were reading loudly, and some were chatting and laughing. However,
When Lin Fengjin reached the fourth floor, he was stopped by a servant in the academy and said politely:
"Sir, the fourth floor of the Huque Building is temporarily rented by the book club of our hospital, so it is not open to the public for the time being."
Lin Fengjin smiled and said:
"I know, I'm not here to climb up and see the scenery, but to find people."
