Feudal scholar-bureaucrats reborn: marrying a husband and marrying a virtuous

On the way back to the academy, Lin Fangqi kept hesitant to speak, but Lin Fangxu pretended not to see it. When he was approaching the entrance of the academy, Lin Fangqi couldn't hold back anymore: "Brother Xu, what did the hall brother want you to ask sir?" .

"Guess." Lin Fangxu said

"—"

Mr. Xu, whose name is Zhao, is named Bodao.It was Jieyuan in Suzhou in the tenth year of Hongwu, and he and his uncle were classmates.Later, when he went to the capital to participate in the Spring Festival, he met a robber on the way and injured his leg. After he recovered, he walked with a limp, so he lost his official career.

As for whether the robbers are real or not, who knows why only Mr. Xu was robbed?Discouraged, Mr. Xu left his master's house in Suzhou and opened an academy in Wuyi County, where his wife's natal family was.

The academy is next to Qixia Lake. It used to be Mrs. Xu's dowry house, but now it is named Qixia Academy by the husband, saying that it is called the occasion.

The Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas are places where people gather together. Although Wuyi County is not like Yuyao, Kuaiji, Shanyin and other counties where almost every family is educated, the style of writing is not weak.However, Mr. Xu's assessment is strict. Qixia Academy is said to be an academy, but in fact, there are not as many students as some private schools, only about forty people.

The other courtyard is divided into three entrances, the entrance is through the gate, and there is a martial arts arena that is big enough to ride a horse for a few laps, and there are stakes and wooden targets.The east wing was converted into a stable, the west wing was a dressing room and weapon room, and along the marble steps were three main rooms, the middle one was a student study room, and the other two were library rooms.

The second entrance courtyard is much larger, surrounded by corridors on the side, with winding paths in the middle, and green bamboos, flowers and trees are planted.In the hall of the main room are Mr.'s desk and two rows of bookshelves.There is a lecture hall on each side of the hall. Those who have not finished studying the Four Books are on one side, and those who have finished studying the Four Books and the Five Classics are on the other side.There are three wing rooms on each side of the main building, and several students whose families are far away live here.Opposite the main room is a kitchen and a small dining hall.

Sanjin is more like a small garden, with rockery, ponds, pavilions and so on.Mr. Xu's study is next to the lotus pond.

When Lin Fangxu came to Mr. Xu's study, Mr. Xu had just returned from school, so Lin Fangxu hurried up to greet him.

Xu Zhao was also very happy to see the student he liked, and said with a smile, "Look at your complexion, are you in good health?".

"Mr. Lao misses you, the students are getting better. I don't know if you have time, but the students want to ask you some questions." Lin Fangxu said.

"Oh, then you can talk to me in the study." After Xu Zhao finished speaking, he walked to the study, with Lin Fangxu following behind.

Xu Zhao sat on the armchair, took a sip of the tea the boy had just made, and then raised his head to signal him to speak quickly.Lin Fangxu didn't beat around the bush, and said directly: "Sir, I want to take part in the county examination next year, I wonder if it's possible?".

Xu Zhao knew that his student was much smarter than ordinary people, and he had also learned the Four Books and Five Classics solidly.It's a pity that he is too young and doesn't have enough experience, otherwise Lin Fangxu would have let him go next year without asking.

But since he has the ambition himself, he won't stop him, so he teased: "Hey, I said no. You won't go."

"Of course, how dare the students not listen to Mr.'s words." Lin Fangxu also laughed.

"Just go if you want to go, weigh yourself a few catties earlier, it's good to have a plan. I don't ask you why you made this decision suddenly. It just so happens that I plan to arrange some extra homework for the students who will leave next year. Since you If you are in such a hurry, then I will help you, and you can do it together, just don’t complain when the time comes." Xu Zhao finished speaking to himself, then sent Lin Fangxu out with tea.

"Sir, that student is resigning." Lin Fangxu left after speaking.

Xu Zhao looked up at Lin Fangxu's back as he left. The young man was thin, but tall and firm like a green bamboo.I always feel that my students have become different after returning this time.

Lin Fangxu went directly to the small cafeteria from the backyard. Seeing him, Lin Fangqi hurriedly greeted him: "Brother Xu, I see that my brother has grabbed a chicken leg for you, please treat you well! What did you say just now, tell my brother."

Lin Fangxu didn't intend to hide it from him at first, so he said: "It's nothing, I just plan to end next year, and ask my husband for his opinion."

"oh, I see."

"Pfft~!"

Lin Fangqi choked in shock and kept coughing.

"Ahem...you are going next year? Is it too early, but your articles are better than mine, and it seems that you read books better than me. Hey~"

Lin Fangqi was so worried that he couldn't eat well. He failed the exam once.Brother Xu is also going this time. If Brother Xu has passed and I haven't, even if my sister-in-law doesn't show her face, it will be very embarrassing.no!I have to go back and read quickly.

Lin Fangxu watched him cough violently first, and then heard him chattering there. After a while, he slapped the table with his left hand, lowered his head and gorged on the rice, gobbled it up for a while, and then said "I'm going back to study", and ran away like the wind.

Lin Fangxu rolled his eyes greatly, and continued to eat slowly.

Lin Fangxu returned to the school unhurriedly, and saw Lin Fangqi shaking his head, reciting something in a low voice.Lin Fangxu didn't bother, he sat on his seat and slowly flipped through the book.

The Academy does not teach Enlightenment, and starts directly from the Four Books. The Four Books are in the lecture room on the right. After studying the Four Books and meeting the teacher's requirements, go to the left lecture room to learn the Five Classics.

Sir, the Four Books and the Five Classics are taught in turn, the Four Books will be taught this morning, and the Five Classics will be taught tomorrow afternoon.Lin Fangxu was admitted to the academy when he was eight years old. He finished studying the Four Books when he was ten years old. After passing the examination, he started to study the Five Classics.

Today, Mr. Lectured in the order of "Book of Songs", "Shangshu", "Book of Rites", "Book of Changes", and "Spring and Autumn", and repeated it every few months.For the students who come for the imperial examination, how much they can understand depends entirely on the root of personal understanding.

After finishing the big case, Mr. Xu said in a deep voice, "It's time to talk about "Spring and Autumn" today."

I only heard Mr. Xu's tone soothed: "Mencius commented on "Spring and Autumn" and said: "The world is declining, there are heresy and atrocities, and there are ministers who kill their kings, and sons who kill their fathers. Confucius is afraid, so he wrote "Spring and Autumn" . "Spring and Autumn" records the major events in 14 years from the first year of Lu Yin to the 240th year of Lu Aigong. ..."

Lin Fangxu listened attentively, and all the restlessness and impetuousness in the new life disappeared.He has never been as clear about what he wants to do as he is now.

In the previous life, he was involved in party disputes and died with a stigma. He didn't resent anyone, but he was not reconciled.

In this life, he will be like his ancestors, he will be a capable minister in life, and his name will go down in history even in death!

After the teacher finished speaking, he ordered others to review the books, and then called the students who were about to end into the hall.

Except for the two brothers Lin Fangxu, only three of them are under 20, and the other eight are all in their [-]s, and they probably have already passed the exam twice.

Sure enough, the master first said to the eight people: "You have all passed the exam at least twice. Just like the last time, you should study the Chengwen first, and then try to solve the problem by yourself. At least half a month should be handed in an essay."

A few people responded quickly, and went back to the lecture hall to do their own things.

Mr. Xu pointed to the thick stacks of papers on the bookshelf, and said to the rest of the people: "This is a copy of the imperial palace newspaper from the first year of Jianwen to the present. From today on, you guys will not only complete your studies, but also have to spend half your time in the office. After reading it within a month, I will share my opinion when the time comes.”

Then he said to Lin Fangxu alone: ​​"Although your second brother took the exam twice, he probably didn't read the Di Bao seriously once. You go back and tell him that he must read it this time."

Several people distribute the mansion newspapers on a yearly basis, exchange them every two days, and read them in turn.Lin Fangxu came home from school with the mansion newspaper from the first year of Jianwen.Probably stimulated by Lin Fangxu, Lin Fangqi didn't go to other places to hang out anymore, and went home with his head hanging from the beam and his buttocks stabbed.

"Zi said, if you are three of us, you must have my teacher. I have exchanged ideas with you in the same year, and I have gained a lot..." Lin Fangxu saw his second brother sitting at the bottom of the door as soon as he entered the door, talking happily.The elder brother was the one holding a teacup and listening casually.

Seeing Lin Fangxu coming in, Lin Fangqin, who had been impatient for a long time, asked, "You're back, what do you say, sir?"

Lin Fangxu put down his book bag and replied: "Mr. agreed, and also arranged special homework."

"What did you agree to, Brother Xu, what are you talking about?" Lin Fangming asked suspiciously.

"I plan to end next year. Eldest brother asked me to listen to my husband's opinion. By the way, my husband told us to read the Dibao of the past five years in Jianwen within half a month. Second brother, you..."

"Okay, okay...I see, I let you watch it last time I participated in it." Lin Fangming said impatiently before he finished speaking. "The official career economy is full of paper, and it is unbearably vulgar."

bump!

Lin Fangqin threw the teacup onto the table and said sharply, "Who do you have an opinion on?".

Lin Fangming's face flushed red, but he didn't dare to say anything.

Lin Fangxu looked down at his toes, his age was orderly, and it was not his turn to speak.

"Xianggong, Second Uncle, Younger Uncle, let's go eat." When Zhao Shiyue came in, he saw the unnatural expressions on the faces of the three brothers.The cooking and sweeping woman I was looking for asked for leave because of busy farming, Zhao Shiyue coaxed Miki to cook, a little later than usual.

When they returned to the room, Zhao Shiyue finally couldn't help but leaned in front of Lin Fangqin, and said curiously: "What did you say just now, you look unhappy, you must be starving."

"What are you thinking..." Lin Fangqin twisted his nose and said with a smile. "Tell me about my younger brother's imperial examination."

Zhao Shiyue opened his hand, rolled his eyes and said, "Father Mu said last time about harvesting spring tea next year, what are you going to do?"

Lin Fangqin saw his expectant face, and said helplessly, "Yueyue, you know my plan."

Zhao Shiyue slumped her shoulders, and said dejectedly: "I know..., let's talk about it after this year's exam. Don't worry, I have rejected it with my father, and he will make it clear to my father."

Lin Fangqin pulled him into his arms, bowed his head and kissed his hair, and said with emotion: "Yueyue is really a good helper for her husband."

Zhao Shiyue's ears were reddish and her face was sweet, but she still couldn't help but worry in her heart. Now everything has to give way to the imperial examinations of her two younger brothers, but she doesn't know if it will be successful in the end.
