Chapter 205 Three Winter Warms

"Master Zhou, please tell me." Su Ziji bowed again before sitting down.

After experiencing Yu Qianzhi's incident, Su Ziji has already corrected his impression of these people. They may look trustworthy and amiable, but they may not be really upright and harmless.

If my guess is true, as soon as I entered the school, I would make a fuss among the Tai students, fearing that the Master Zhou sitting in front of me might not like me in his heart.

Although innocent, people tend to blame the source of their anger, especially if the source is distant and weak.

This person is hardly an exception.

While sitting down, his eyes inadvertently glanced at a small booklet placed in front of Zhou Xuecheng.

"Huh?" Su Ziji's pupils shrank slightly: "I was just thinking about the manuscript, and I actually felt a copy, which seems to be very useful."

"This situation has never happened before. Is it because the knowledge of this person exceeds that of the people I have known before, and this book is written by this person himself, rather than after reading it, so I have such a strong feeling?"

"It seems that I used to think that scholars are better than officials. I am narrow-minded. Although many scholars have obtained fame and fame, they will gradually waste their studies, but there are also some people who will not only not waste, but will also write books."

"As the chief officer of Taixue, Master Zhou is even more convenient."

Su Ziji, who had originally thought about getting Zhou Xuecheng's manuscript, now had a plan in mind.

At this time, Zhou Mingda, the senior student, also stated his purpose of inviting Su Ziji to come over.

"Su Ziji, I checked the file and learned that you have passed the Guangling Province's Xie Yuan exam. You already have the status of Juren, so you can take part in the general examination in the Spring Festival. Why do you need to occupy the place of Taixue?"

"You know, there are not many places for students in Shangshe. You don't need to take one. You are really hated by others. In my opinion, the gain outweighs the loss."

Zhou Xuecheng is obviously an official who has been studying all his life, rather than just taking it as a stepping stone. His attitude is different from other officials. His bookish air is greater than his official authority, and he speaks very kindly, which makes Su Ziji think to himself: "As expected."

Immediately said seriously: "Master Zhou, the students have been wronged in this matter. The imperial court has a system for recommending orders. It's not that I want to take more, and even if the students want to decline, I'm afraid it is suspected of violating the system!"

These words are very accurate, Zhou Mingda suddenly couldn't say a lot, thought for a while, and said: "Tai Xue can recommend a group of outstanding students to go to the yamen of various colleges and departments for internships every year. I can recommend you to go, and the accommodation can also be arranged. how do you feel?"

This is intended to attract them with profit, but it is attractive to internal students, or general upper students. After all, to be able to train in the courtyard of the court, not only has qualifications, but also may have opportunities.

But for those who are determined to take the imperial examination and are sure, that's the same thing.

Su Ziji frowned: "Since the student holds the recommendation order, naturally he can't treat it as a joke, but if it's just for the qualification of the examination, it can be discussed, Mr. Zhou, maybe you don't believe it, I entered the Imperial College because I wanted to be more popular. Teaching, Taixue is the highest institution of learning in the imperial court, and all scholars yearn for it, and students are no exception."

Su Ziji also had two Wen Xin Diao Long, so he wanted to try it, but it was a pity that he only read it together, and he felt it, knowing that it would not work for the sixth-rank officials.

Hearing this answer, Zhou Mingda really looked at the boy in front of him seriously.

It has been more than [-] years since the founding of the country, and the Zheng Dynasty has passed the talent shortage, and there is no shortage of scholars. Some even have to queue up to be awarded officials. Among the Tai students, they can be recommended to practice in various yamen. This is a good relationship. Fate, in the future, the Jinshi, or even the Zhongju, may be filled in advance due to connections.

This is a good thing that many people can't ask for, even more so than studying in Taixue. This young man is not tempted. Could it be that he is really just eager to study?
As a great Confucian, a person who thinks that his job is to "preach and teach", even if he has planned to drive Su Ziji away with soft words in his heart, so that the Taixue can return to peace, it can be seen that such a person who is not greedy for small profits and only focuses on studying The young man couldn't help but feel good about it.

Moreover, what Su Ziji said was very clear. If you want him to give up voluntarily, you will offend the person who gave the recommendation order, and even be suspected of violating the system-could you reject the court's grace if you want?
"It's easy, as long as you don't occupy the useless quota for exempting you from the exam." Zhou Mingda had changed his mind and said, "You can keep your student status, and you can come to Taixue to attend lectures as you like."

"And I recommend you to go to the Ministry, and I will keep it for you."

"It's just that, if you go to the department to convince people, you still need to pass the test... This afternoon is the time for this month's test. I wonder if you can accept it?"

"If you change your mind, you don't have to participate."

Su Ziji was naturally not afraid of this, he was only a little short of level 15, from now on, he can be called a great Confucian, how can he fail the imperial examination?

Said frankly: "Students are willing to take the test."

Only after picking Taixue No.1, the so-called Taixue Buwu has a foundation.

"Speaking of this matter, you also suffered an innocent disaster." Seeing that Su Ziji agreed so happily, Zhou Mingda couldn't help but feel sorry for Su Ziji.

"Originally, you came here with a recommendation order, and according to the rules, you should be admitted to the upper house, but this time the Tai students have made a fuss, and even if I know that you are not at fault, I can only appease them first."

"Besides, there was a commotion. I'm afraid that you and the same dormitory have some ties, and the rules of going to the dormitory are very strict. You are not going up step by step from the outer dormitory or the inner dormitory. You are afraid that you will lose points for being rude, which is not beautiful. In this way, After the test is over, how about I introduce you to live in the layman's room outside Qingyuan Temple?"

Su Ziji was startled, and thought about it carefully.

It turned out that in the former Wei Dynasty, in order to strictly manage and standardize school running, Taixue established four halls and six halls, paid attention to etiquette, and rectified rules in many aspects: "Clothes are serious, steps are modest, no one is allowed to cross the shift, and it is impolite to make noise."

Every morning and evening, each person has to personally release the cards and turn the gates, and also hold a ceremony. The students are promoted to the hall, the subordinate officials and teachers salute in turn, and the students line up to enter one by one, and line up to bow down collectively.

In the classroom, "the clothes of all students must follow the imperial system, and they are not allowed to wear ordinary clothes and confuse with the public", "when you meet the teacher, bow to the teacher, stand up and listen to the lecture, if you have any questions, raise your hand to ask for advice" and so on.

Now Dazheng has further strengthened it. When teachers come in and out, Tai students "must stand upright and wait for their mistakes, answer any questions immediately, and don't be contemptuous."

The most frightening thing is that the head of the fast still has a book to record his words and deeds. As long as he catches mistakes, he can be punished.

In Su Ziji's situation, without two years of etiquette training, it is almost impossible not to think of mistakes, and it would be strange if he didn't wear small shoes.

When the time comes, the rules are the rules, how to deal with it?

Could it be that raising a knife to kill back and forth in Taixue, isn't this self-defeating?

Su Ziji is a smart person, as soon as he mentioned it, he immediately thought of it, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

"A good word is warm in winter, and bad words hurt people in June."

"Zhou Mingda is considerate of his students, he really deserves to be a gentleman, and he has a teacher's morality."
