Be a master through ancient times

After finishing his day's work, Chu Ci returned to his residence.

The Guozijian has already arranged a yard for him, so the house in Wenxingfang can be returned after a few more days.

Zhang Hu went to the kitchen to warm up the cooked food bought on the way, and then the two of them ate with steamed buns.

After eating, Chu Ci wanted to find a book for entertainment, but he couldn't find it anywhere.

"Dahu, did you see the master—" Zhang Hu's door was ajar, Chu Ci didn't think much, just pushed the door open and entered, and then suddenly lost his voice.

Zhang Hu felt a little uneasy. He was facing the lamp, sitting on a chair, sewing something with a needle in his hand.

"Is this the Cuju from last time?" Chu Ci walked over to have a look.

"Yeah." Zhang Hu responded, he kicked someone else's Cuju and broke it, so why don't you fix it for them?

No wonder, Chu Ci remembered that Zhang Hu's body had been bulging that day. He must have poured out the rice bran inside and picked up the leather.

"This leather is so hard, can a needle penetrate it?" Chu Ci's eyes showed curiosity.

"Yes, sir, look, it's enough to have this." Zhang Hu raised his hand, and there was something like a ring on his finger, as long as he used this thing to push the needle into it.After he put down his hand, he showed Chu Ci a demonstration. With some thick hands, the flying needle thread was very quick.

"It's finished, master. Can you help me return it to them tomorrow?" Zhang Hu bit off the twine, and then handed the Cuju to Chuci.

As soon as Chu Ci picked it up, he immediately felt something was wrong.Cuju is filled with rice bran, so it shouldn’t be so light, right?He shook it in his hand, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Dahu, what did you add?"

"Cotton. I don't have rice bran at home, nor do the neighbors around. If I want to buy it, I have to pay a few pennies. It happened that a quilt was torn by me, so I took some cotton out of it." Zhang Hu was happy because he saved a few pennies, but Chu Ci was a little dumbfounded.

"Okay, the master will help you return it tomorrow." He didn't want to dampen Zhang Hu's enthusiasm. It's not easy for an old man to secretly do needlework.

"Thank you, master!" Zhang Hu felt a little better.He asked that day that this small thing would cost two or three taels of silver, which was almost half a month's rent, and he felt very sorry if it wasn't repaired.

Chu Ci bounced the ball back to the room, forgetting that he was looking for something just now.

The ball is too light to be kicked, and I can't grasp its strength at all.If you bump it up with your hands, it seems to be lighter than a modern football, a bit like a volleyball.

Thinking of this, Chu Ci clasped his hands, joined his elbows, and bounced the ball.

Speaking of which, volleyball is a sport that can train people. The good results achieved by the women's volleyball players in the past have made the Chinese people talk about it, and it has also brought a wave of volleyball.This thing does not require fierce collisions like football and basketball, and it is quite suitable for students to play.

……

On the second day, Chu resigned to Guozijian.

Although Guozijian is a Qingshui yamen, there is one thing that is better than other yamen, that is, there is no need to click, as long as you follow the students' schedule.And it also provides dormitory and three meals a day, which is a good job that includes food and accommodation.

"Good morning, Gu Siye." Chu Ci greeted Gu Siye who was sitting inside, and got a nod.Seeing that Gu Siye seemed to be busy with something, he didn't bother him too much, and went out with the roster in his hands.

The outer courtyard should be in class at the moment, the morning class is usually supervised by Xuelu or Xuezheng, and then they recite one by one.After all, the day's plan lies in the morning, and the ancients also believed that reading in the morning is the best memory.

In the afternoon, according to the progress of the students.If you haven't learned it by heart, copy the book in the afternoon.The doctor will not explain it until I remember it well.Teaching assistants are responsible for marking their assignments and covering courses when the doctor is away.

Chu Ci inspected several teaching dormitories and found that although some students were not paying attention, they were basically still studying, so they did not go in to disturb, but stood outside the window and observed the number of people. Just draw a circle on the roster.

After walking through the first few courtyards, the situation was similar, but when Chu Ci came to the courtyard where Renban was, the situation changed.

Several students were fighting outside, their faces were full of excitement, and after seeing Chu Ci's figure, they rushed into the teaching dormitory with a strange cry.

Chu Ci walked in with a sullen face, and found that the students were sitting up and down, and there were people doing whatever.But there were no empty seats, and everyone must have arrived today.

However, on the podium, their class records were not there.

"Now the roll call starts, and those who get the roll call should respond loudly..."

After the roll call, Chu Ci covered the roster and asked, "Now is the time to study. Why can't you hear a little reading in your courtyard?"

The students below looked at each other, and then all listlessly took out books from the book bags at the bottom, some took "University", some took "The Doctrine of the Mean", and all kinds of books were taken out.

Before Chu Ci learned about the general level of each class.Students in classes A, B, and C are generally older. They have finished reading the Four Books and Five Classics, and are currently reading various subsets.The students in Ding Wuji's three classes are at the age of eighteen or nineteen, and they still have to deeply interpret the Four Books and Five Classics.As for the two classes of Geng and Xin, two books of the Four Books have been taught.

Only the Ren class progressed the slowest, and only after two or three months of enrollment did they read "The Doctrine of the Mean".

"Take out the Doctrine of the Mean, and put the other books back in the book bag."

The students procrastinated for a while, and finally everyone had the same book in front of them.

"How many chapters of the Doctrine of the Mean have you learned?" The Doctrine of the Mean has a total of 33 chapters, and it's been two or three months. You should have learned at least the middle and late stages.

The students below were silent, and Chu Ci called the roll call: "Gu Xu, tell me, which chapter of the doctrine of the mean have you learned?"
