At dawn the next day, Chen Youniao got up, had breakfast, walked out, and started jogging. He didn't bring Wangcai with him, so he went to Bingliu Thatched Cottage alone.

It was still early, and there were only a few people walking on the street. These people looked at Chen Youniao running in surprise, wondering what the young man was doing. In this world, there is no concept of morning jogging.

Chen Youniao ignored the gazes of others and ran his own way. When he arrived at the different Liucaotang, he was covered in sweat and his clothes were soaked. He was breathing slightly, but he didn't feel tired. Fortunately, he was doing chores at Laoshan Dojo.

The physical foundation he laid has now gradually matured, and his body has become stronger and stronger, which is completely beyond the comparison of ordinary scholars and scholars.

As the sun rises in the east, several carriages are already parked in front of the thatched cottage, and other students are arriving faster.

Meng Beiliu has very strict rules. If you are late for morning class, even if you are just a moment late, you will not be allowed to enter the lecture hall.

Entering the lecture hall, you can see that the furnishings are simple. There is a lecture at the top, and there are more than a dozen futons placed below, arranged in rows, three in a row, six rows in total, in an orderly manner. There is a small table in front of the futons. On each table,

Put up a nameplate with the student's name on it.

This is pretty good, and it fits the bill.

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

After waiting for a while, students continued to arrive and take their seats one after another.

Most of these students were teenagers aged sixteen or seventeen, all with pretty faces. There were actually several girls among them, which surprised Chen Youniao.

It turns out that the imperial examination system of the Dayin Dynasty was mainly based on classics and meanings. The content of classics and meanings was similar to that of Confucianism, but there was not much evolution and castration, and it appeared to be free and lively. Women could not only study in school, but also be officials. There were palace officials in the imperial palace.

The system is divided into six ministers, Shang Gong, Shang Yi, Shang Food, Shang Clothing, Shang Gong, and Shang Bed. The following are in charge of twenty-four departments, in charge of palace affairs, etc. If you perform well, you can even be promoted to a female bachelor, in charge of secrets.

matters.

This is similar to the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

Chen Youniao sat in his seat and closed his eyes to rest. Soon, he heard a series of whispers. When he opened his eyes, he saw many eyes from around him falling on him.

"You, are you sitting here?"

The voice that was suppressing some emotion came from Chen Shanben on the right. Coincidentally, the two brothers were on the left and the other, so they happened to have Chen Youniao sandwiched in the middle.

Chen Youniao blinked: "My nameplate is here. If I don't sit here, where can I sit?"

"The teacher is partial..."

As Chen Shanben spoke, his eye circles turned red, as if he had been greatly wronged.

Chen Youniao was stunned: "It's just a seat. Did you sit here before?"

"What do you know? The seats in the lecture hall are arranged according to the entrance level and grades. You are just a junior student who just entered the school. Why do you sit in the front row as soon as you arrive?"

Chen Shanben's emotions broke out. He had no grudges with Chen Youniao, and they were still blood cousins. It was just because of preconceptions that he had a bad impression of Chen Youniao. With repeated unexpected events, he felt that he was being

After being slapped in the face, it was inevitable that there was a backlog of resentment in his heart. Especially now, seeing that Chen Youniao not only successfully became a disciple, but was also highly appreciated by Meng Beiliu, and sat in the front row as soon as he arrived, Chen Shanben could no longer hold back.

, I feel like something that originally belonged to me has been taken away.

"It turns out that the rankings are based on admission scores..."

Chen Youniao touched his chin. No wonder sitting here attracted the attention and criticism of others. However, this was Meng Beiliu's intention, and he could not give it to others. In Bu Liu Cottage, Meng Beiliu was the real one.

Master and guests do as they please, who cares about anything else?

Following the sound of footsteps, Meng Beiliu appeared. As soon as he appeared, the lecture hall was immediately silent. Everyone sat upright and meticulous. Even Chen Shanben, who was in an emotional outburst, immediately calmed down his expression and behaved respectfully.

.

The relationship between heaven and earth, master and master, is very strict and is no child's play.

Meng Beiliu coughed dryly and said slowly: "There is a new student in the lecture hall today, Chen Youniao. Please stand up and say hello to the seniors."

Everyone was surprised when they heard the weird name "Chen Youniao", but it has to be said that weird names always leave a deep impression on people.

The group bowed, Chen Youniao said a polite word, and then sat down, looking very dignified.

Meng Beiliu saw this and nodded slightly. He had been teaching for many years and had set rules. In addition to looking at characters and talents, he also valued temperament and demeanor when accepting students. Chen Youniao left a good impression on him, especially his calmness.

His magnanimity is rare to see in other students. After all, young people are full of energy. Even those who are studying and just getting started in Qi-nurturing Kung Fu will inevitably appear impetuous.

"The mountains in the southern part of the country are beautiful, and the snow is floating in the clouds; the forest shows the color of the sky, and the city becomes colder at dusk."

Meng Beiliu chanted: "This poem was my on-the-spot assessment of Chen Youniao yesterday, and he wrote it in half a quarter of an hour. If you can also write it, you might as well tell me in person."

The five unique sentences are the simplest format in poetry. But for many things, the simpler they are, the more skillful they are.

All the students secretly pondered the verses, with solemn expressions on their faces. To be fair, this poem is not a masterpiece, but its meaning is far-reaching, and it is still a masterpiece. This was the teacher's on-the-spot proposition, and it only took half an hour. In this way, it was

It looks extraordinary and has a lot of bonus points. No wonder I can sit in the front row.

Meng Beiliu glanced down: "Chen Youniao, you are the first to teach me the rules in my class. You are new here and sit in the front row. Others will naturally be dissatisfied. I hope you can study hard and study hard. Otherwise, you will wait until next time for the real class.

If you fail to study for the assessment, you will have to sit in the back."

Chen Youniao hurriedly said: "Student understands."

"Okay, let's start the lecture."

Meng Beiliu clapped his ruler and began to speak in an ups and downs tone.

In the lecture hall, there were more than a dozen students. They entered different Liucaotang at different times and learned different basics. However, Meng Beiliu did not care about these and did not give anyone extra lessons. What was said in the class was that the students

If you don't understand something, you mainly rely on hard work and self-study. Of course, if you have any questions, you can ask Meng Beiliu for advice. However, Meng Beiliu didn't bother to answer general questions, and would instead scold the students for not even understanding.

Chen Youniao listened carefully. His foundation was really poor, and it could even be said that he had no official foundation. Fortunately, the articles in the world were similar in nature and structure. As long as he mastered the writing format, propositions and arguments,

Then it is not difficult to write a qualified article.

Among them, the most important prerequisite is to read the major scriptures thoroughly.

Chen Youniao has learned before that there are more than twenty books in a complete set of classics and meanings. It is even more terrifying to purchase them all. Coupled with the large number of annotations and interpretations, ordinary bookstores often only have the classics and meanings.

The text is for sale. If you want to buy valuable interpretation books, you must have connections and connections.

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

In class today, Chen Youniao was not fully prepared. He only listened with his ears. Many times, it was cloudy and foggy, and he had no idea what was going on. After class, he got up quickly and went out to go to a big bookstore in the city.

Buy books.

"I want this book "The Doctrine of the Mean"..."

"And "The Sage Says"..."

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

In the bookstore, Chen Youniao bought nine volumes of scriptures at once, and felt very pained when he paid for them. The 1,000 taels of the talisman sold, 500 of which were given to Uncle Wang for household use, and the remaining 500, part of which was used to pay for tuition.

, and now I have spent a lot of money buying books, and what is left is only a little over two hundred taels.

I really can’t help spending money.

I returned to the house with a pile of books in my arms, sat in the room, reached for one, and read through it.

Buzz!

There is something strange in my mind, it's "The Literary Mind and the Carving of Dragons".
Chapter completed!
