"He Lianba," "Here!" "Liang Kun," "Here!" "Xu Lian," "Here!" "Li Peng," "Here!" "Nangong Xue," "Here!"...... "Zhong Liwei," no one answered, "Zhong Liwei," the Master shouted again, but still no one answered. The Master looked around the classroom and shouted, "Night Temple, where is your master? Are you going to be absent again?"
Next to the empty seat at the end of the clock, a thin young man in black pigment and plain linen stood up trembling. Zhang Huang was bewildered and stammered: "Reply... Master, my master... my master is not... absent from school, master... he has diarrhea and will be late." This sentence seemed to have exhausted all his strength.
Tianlan Academy is the most famous academy in Biancheng, the capital of the Great Yan Emperor. The students in the academy are basically the children of rich families, so the academy is very rich. Bian City, the center of the world, pioneered the trend and advocated that "women can also study". Even so, only the noble class can really do it. Therefore, there are a few ladies in Tianlan Academy, some of whom are eager to join the fun, and some of whom are eager to learn. However, the Academy tacitly approves of the behavior of these childlike brothers and girls bringing servants to class together. After all, more people, more income. Moreover, the Academy serves these young masters and young ladies, so they usually do not name the servants when they call the roll, and there is no requirement for their studies.
"Ten classes, four absenteeism, five lateness. It seems that I need to talk to General Zhong Li." The master stroked his white beard. The Academy is not short of dandies. Other students will come to class honestly even if they are naughty, because they know that they are the future of the family and the successor of future power. Otherwise, their families would not have to send them here. But this clock is far away, I really don't understand. General Zhong Li's family has two sons, a daughter. As the saying goes, there is no tiger in a general's family. The eldest son Zhong Li is proud of his reputation. He started to fight with his father when he was 15 years old. He has made great achievements in the war. Now he has become his father's iron arm when he was only 20 years old. The second childe Zhong Li is not five years younger than the eldest childe. He was not born by a mother. Although he was not born by a mother, he is also the bone and flesh of the great general. Why is he so naughty at such a young age? I heard that the second childe does not like to practice martial arts, and the general did not force him. I thought the general wanted the second childe to be a civil servant. As for the daughter, she was born with the same mother as the second son. I heard that although she is not a tiger girl, she is loved by the general most.
"Wuling is young in the golden market, and the silver saddle and white horse ride the spring breeze. Where do you go when stepping on the fallen flowers, and laugh in the Huji wine shop." The words are sonorous but not elegant, and the voice is young but not heroic, but who is it? The visitor wore a hairpin, red lips and white teeth, square head plain satin boots, white and deep clothes of the Academy, and a phoenix tail sandalwood fan in his hand. He was a beautiful young man!
"The young master of Zhong Li's family is still good-looking."
"Are you going to marry him?"
"I want to, I want to! If I can't be the main room, I can also be a concubine."
……
Several female students have deserted.
"Imprudent!" The teacher patted the table, and the classroom suddenly became silent. "The clock hasn't left yet, do you know what's wrong?"
"The students don't know, please give me some advice." Zhong Liwei is neither humble nor overbearing, and seems to be on his side.
The teacher shook his head. "I'm not strict with you. Maybe I'm wrong." Zhong Li nodded without interest. "I'm too indulgent. Don't sit down and listen to this lesson."
"Thank you," Zhong Li agreed.
Zhong Liwei's servants at the Night Temple did not move. Normally, if the master was punished, the servants should follow. Little did Zhong Li tell the Night Temple to go to class on time every day long ago. No matter how scolded or punished the Master, he was not allowed to plead for mercy. All he had to do was sit there quietly and listen to the class at will.
The Master sighed, "What does the scholar want?" The Master suddenly said.
Zhong Li did not look around once, but found that no one answered. He said, "Are you asking me?"
"Well, you said."
"The students think this question is too profound to answer."
"Let me ask you another question. Why do you study? Why do you enter this academy?"
"Students don't enter this academy to study. They don't like to study. They prefer to study outside. Entering this academy is totally to meet my father's wishes. My father is busy with his official duties. My elder brother is stationed in the frontier fortress. My father can't trust me. He is afraid that I will cause trouble, so he threw me here. As a son, he should obey." Zhong Li said frankly.
"It's true." The Master nodded.
"Why do students study? What students do when they study is just four words, wind flower snow moon!" Zhong Liwu continued.
set the whole room roaring with laughter! The students began to talk in whispers. Words like "scum man", "gentle scum", "romantic" floated out from time to time.
The Master stroked his forehead and felt that he had been born a rebel. After the general, even if he can't become a talent, he should not develop in this direction. The teacher is a little doubtful whether the two young men were born by General Zhong Li. "Quiet! Quiet!" The teacher patted the table again, "Helenba, what about you?"
"Ah? Do you want to ask me again?" He Lianba stood up reluctantly. "My father told me that I would become a senior official in the future, and let me come to the Academy to learn something, so that I won't make a fool of myself in the future." Although there are formal selection systems such as imperial examinations and martial arts examinations, it is too simple for the descendants of people with backgrounds to enter the temple.
"It's really an honest answer," sighed the Master.
"Master, don't you continue to ask?" a student suddenly said.
"Oh? It's Qing Yangxun. It seems that you have other opinions. Let's talk about it."
"Our scholars should follow the example of the ancient sages, make a heart for heaven and earth, make a life for the living people, succeed in learning to become saints, and open peace for all generations. I think all scholars should keep this in mind."
The Master was gratified that these young masters could finally have a sensible man.
Suddenly, a sneer came from Zhong Liwei. "He is like Confucius and Mencius. He has been wandering around all his life. He can't even live a good life. Why bother with so many things?"
Qing Yangxun smiled and said, "Mencius said, 'I am good at cultivating my noble spirit. It is the spirit that is most powerful, and it is between heaven and earth if I cultivate it directly and harmlessly.' Zhong Li's student's study is four words, and what I do happens to be four words - worthy of heart."
"Good! Good! Good!" Many students applauded Qing Yangxun, and the Master applauded him.
Zhong Li gave a careless hum.
"Then why should we study?" a female classmate muttered.
"Yes, it's all about boys. What are we girls studying for?" asked another girl.
At first, the master had no sustenance in these female students. Anyway, it's time to get married when you are old. Collecting more female students is just more income. But as a teacher, you can't tell the students that.
The Master coughed gently. "Good question. I want to know what you think. Nangong Xue, tell me about it."
"Ah? Me, I'm mainly here to join in the fun, and I can make more friends here." Nangong Xue covers her face in embarrassment.
The Master nodded, even if expected, he had to pretend, "Li Binglan, what about you?"
"Don't you know why you asked?" Li Binglan whispered, standing up. "I heard that a cultured woman is more likely to meet her husband. How shy she is!" Li Binglan blushed.
"Well, well, good, good," encouraged the Master.
"Well, a woman without talent is a virtue. What kind of education is she going to," said a male classmate, Xu Lian. There are also talented women. In my opinion, a talented woman is a tragedy in itself. Few talented women can get happiness and find a home. If you want to live a happy life, it is better to be an ordinary woman. "
"It's unprecedented, but it may not be absent later. It's already there, and it may not be there again." said a woman who seemed not very sociable.
"Ah!" The Master was a little surprised. The woman's name was Xiahou Xuanyi. She was the princess of the dynasty and the most distinguished one among the students present. Others didn't know it. Usually, the princess didn't say anything. She felt very good to serve her. Why did she suddenly appear.
"There was no fire before, but later there was; there was no iron before, but later there was; there was no country before, but later there was. There was bronze before, but later it was eliminated; there was Jixia Academy before, but later there was no; there was a wooden ox and a flowing horse before, but later there was no. Do women have to teach each other? When the country broke down, women still went to the battlefield. For example, not all of you men want to marry and have children. Some of you like to be monks and eunuchs. Both men and women should remember that marriage is not inevitable in life. This sentence was not said by an ancient person, but by my girl. "
The people present were dumbfounded. Who the hell is this woman? It's too wicked. Zhong Li stared at the woman with a smile on his face. Qing Yangxun frowned, not denying it, but felt that the woman was very special. Even the Night Temple, which was sitting like a piece of wood, could not help looking at the woman.
At the end of the day, the Master was unable to tell the truth. He thought that the princess could only play with her temper, but it was more difficult than Zhong Liwu.
"Although I don't like saints, some words are reasonable. 'There are three ways to be unfilial, and having no offspring is great'. Marriage is related to the inheritance of a family's incense. How can it be so casual? In addition, people must marry if they want to reproduce." Zhong Liwei said.
"This is not easy," Xia Houxuan said, slightly cocking up at the corners of his mouth. "After all, there are only a few families with only children. For example, there are two men in your family. You and your eldest brother should leave the marriage and inheritance to your eldest brother. As for you, you can find something else to pursue. You can become a monk or a eunuch."
The students covered their mouths and sniggered. The Master was also trying to restrain himself. He felt that he was really stupid. The person who could restrain Zhong Li was here, but he didn't know it.
Zhong Li did not scratch his cheek, and he was not angry.
Qing Yangxun coughed, "This classmate is really interesting. I really want to know why you study?"
"Well, it doesn't matter to tell you that what you and Zhong Li did in school is four words, and what I happened to do is also four words - groundbreaking."
