Chapter 63: What can we do if the academic style is like this?
Wei Chen said firmly: "The teacher's kindness in preaching and teaching will never be forgotten by the disciples. If it weren't for the teacher, how could the disciples be where they are today? Therefore, I ask the teacher to give me a title."
The joy on Zhuang Jun's face flashed away, he coughed lightly and said calmly: "You are what you are today because of your own efforts, and what you do for the teacher is just the icing on the cake.
However, since the disciple has invited me, it’s hard for me as a teacher to refuse, because the teacher has received something from me in the past few days.”
Wei Chen couldn't help but murmur: "What I get by chance is something I have already thought about."
"The combination of the sun and the moon is called Chen. Originally, it would be best to have a clear character in your name. However, it violated your father's taboo, so I had to choose another character."
Zhuang Jun said in a deep voice: "Chen is the genus of dragon. "Guan Ren Biezhuan" says that the dragon is the yang essence, which lurks in the yin, and the ghosts pass up, and the harmonious energy senses the spirit, so it can stir up the clouds. Your name,
Just for Xingyun, how about?"
"Wei Chen, Wei Xingyun?"
Wei Chen recited it silently in his mind several times, and felt that it was very suitable to his heart. Firstly, it was easy to remember, and secondly, it had a profound meaning.
At that moment, he bowed deeply with excitement and said: "Disciple, thank you, Teacher, for giving me the words!"
After giving the letter, Zhuang Jun inspected Wei Chen's recent schoolwork to see if Wei Chen had slacked off because he had finished the college examination.
Seeing that Wei Chen answered his questions fluently, Zhuang Jun nodded with satisfaction, and after a few more instructions, he rushed Wei Chen home.
When Wei Chen's knowledge has reached the point where he is now, he no longer needs to be around his teachers all the time and receive advice. All Zhuang Jun can do is encourage and give pointers. The rest still depends on Wei Chen's own efforts. Wei Chen returned to Sheng's house and told Sheng Changbai that he had been crowned. Sheng Changbai was so happy that he chased Wei Chen "Xingyun" and called "Xingyun Xingyun" non-stop. Wei Chen himself was
I almost vomited.
Fortunately, within a few days, it was time to go to Fu Xue to report.
On the first day when they went to the Fu School, they naturally had to become apprentices. Wei Chen and Sheng Changbai both came to the Fu School with the gifts of becoming apprentices.
The so-called meeting ceremony is the six rituals of worshiping a master. Celery, lotus seeds, red beans, dates, longan, and dried lean meat strips are all the same whether you are worshiping a master or a professional master.
The apprenticeship ceremony for both of them was prepared for them by Manager Chen. Naturally, it had to be as exquisite as possible. The gift box alone was worth a lot of money.
In addition to this ceremonial apprenticeship ceremony, Wei Chen and Sheng Changbai also asked someone to send sixty taels of silver red envelopes to Mr. Lu from the Fu School early. This is the real "apprenticeship ceremony".
All this is due to Wei Chen's cheap senior brother Shen Du. If Shen Du hadn't sent someone to remind him by sending a message, Wei Chen really wouldn't have been able to tell that Mr. Lu, who looked like a Confucian, was actually greedy for money. p>
At this moment, in Minglun Hall, Mr. Lu was giving lectures to the five new students who had just entered the school.
"Don't think that you can just go to Nanshan after entering a private school. In ancient times, students who took the imperial examinations spent one year away from the classics and discerning their aspirations, three years of working hard and being active in the community, five years of learning from their teachers, seven years of studying and making friends, and nine years of studying and making friends.
Only when one knows the class and understands the class and is strong and strong without rebelling can one call it a great success.
Although you are students, you have been poor for ten years, but how far have you reached in your knowledge? I am afraid that some of you are still unable to distinguish the will from the classics, right? Now that you have entered the imperial school, you should read the classics carefully and do not neglect your homework!"<
/p>
After hearing Lu Jiaoyu's words, Wang Yaochen, Weng Dingfan, and Tang Henian felt awe-inspiring.
This old eunuch is indeed a famous old Confucian in Jiangning City. He is so powerful as soon as he comes up!
Wei Chen and Sheng Changbai looked at each other and smiled. It seemed that the apprenticeship ceremony for these three classmates was not enough, or in other words, it was given inappropriately.
Over there, Wang Yaochen and three others were still trembling with fear because of Lu Jiaoyu's instructions, but they saw Lu Jiaoyu suddenly looked at Wei Chen with a different look.
"Wei Chen, you have become a board member at such a young age. It is very good. I have also read your articles and you are already a member of the family."
When talking to Wei Chen, Lu Jiaoyu's tone was extremely gentle, completely different from the harsh tone just now. The huge change before and after made Wang Yaochen and others stunned.
"Thank you for your compliment." Wei Chen bowed and said, "Jiaoyu, I have a heartfelt request for you. I have to prepare for the provincial examination, so I want to travel more to study and make friends. I hope your teaching will be accommodating."
Before Wei Chen came, he had already found out the procedures for studying in the mansion.
At the beginning of the founding of the Zhou Dynasty, the atmosphere of official learning was solemn. From the Imperial College to the county schools in various places, academics were strictly governed.
But now, the academic style is no longer what it used to be. Regardless of the prefectural or county schools, they are all lax. I even heard that the Imperial College, known as the highest academic institution in the Zhou Dynasty, is now worse than a crab.
Wei Chen's study in Fu Xue was nothing more than going through the process he had done in Sheng's Yi Xue. As for teaching and training, he spent three days fishing and two days drying nets. He rarely paid attention to his students. With such a trend, it's no wonder that Lin Yan resigned in anger and preferred to be a private school teacher in a small school like Shengshi Yixue.
Therefore, Wei Chen does not intend to waste time in the government school.
Studying at home on weekdays and occasionally traveling abroad are Wei Chen's plans after becoming a scholar.
When Lu Jiaoyu heard Wei Chen's request, he held his beard and pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "Your article is already outstanding, and it is really not advisable to write it behind closed doors. The way to study is to learn widely, make friends, and draw parallels.
Let's do this. You can't be absent from the annual examination held by Xuedao every year. If you want to travel during the rest of the time, you must ask for leave in advance with me. How about that?"
Wei Chen also knew that this was the limit of what Lu Jiaoyu could do, so he bowed his head and said yes without a word.
After that, Sheng Changbai also asked for a study tour, and Lu Jiaoyu, for the sake of money, naturally agreed just like he agreed to Wei Chen.
The three of them, Wang Yaochen and Wang Yaochen, were ranked among the top five in the college examination. Naturally they were not stupid. Seeing that Lu Jiaoyu was so tolerant to Wei Chen and Sheng Changbai, he immediately thought that there must be something fishy.
However, they were not stupid enough to expose it to their faces, but planned to wait until Lu Jiaoyu left before humbly asking Wei Chen and Sheng Changbai for advice.
Next, the five of them followed Lu Jiaoyu and finished worshiping Confucius, and then went to the stone tablet in Minglun Hall to read the Ordinances on General Students.
There are many rules and regulations recorded on the monument, but nowadays, the scholarly ethics are loose and no one takes these rules seriously.
In the next few days, Wei Chen and Sheng Changbai went to the Minglun Hall of the Fu School every day to have a meal. Although they both made up their minds to be absent from class for a long time, they still had to do the superficial work, otherwise Lu Jiaoyu would be in trouble in front of him.
It doesn’t look good either.
However, Wei Chen went there for a few days and found that there were only a few people in Minglun Hall, and no one had ever arrived.
According to the regular system, there are 40 Linshan students in the Fu School, 40 Zengguang students, and the number of affiliated students is uncertain.
But Wei Chen counted and found that there were only thirty or forty people coming to attend the class each time, which was only half of the quota.
But Lu Jiaoyu, who was giving lectures above, seemed to be used to it and was not surprised at all.
Lu Jiaoyu only attends class for half an hour every day, and then it is time for students to study by themselves.
Wei Chen and Sheng Changbai experienced the atmosphere of the self-study class for themselves, and then they knew what the devil was.
I won't talk about those who didn't come. Among the thirty or forty students who came to class, some were chatting to pass the time, some were gathering around to play horse games, and some were busy taking over jobs and reading the account books for the shop outside.
There are even people who openly hold the vivid and fragrant erotic pictures to appreciate them...
Sheng Changbai couldn't help but sigh: "This is how bad the academic style is!"
At this point, the two of them were completely disappointed with this school. After class that day, they went to Professor Lu to tell him about the long vacation and went home to study.
